All Were Well Filled and Then Bags of Candy Were Distributed— Those Who Had Charge. Week in and week out, from one year’s end to another, and in all kinds of weather, the newsboys of Washington are a pi turesque feature of the streets. They are a faithful and hard-working. lot of little fellows, and while they seem to spend a large amount of time in skylarking, and are apparently a very irresponsible band, the truth ts not all this way. It would be hard to tell in how many homes the scant earnings of these little shavers come as a matter of the greatest assistance, and without which it would be no easy thing to keep the wolf out of the front door. Their life is anything but one of unmixed Pleasure; theirs is not all cakes and ale. So it is perhaps that when their turn does come to revel in amusement and jollity, they enter into the spirit of it with an abandon and heartiness which put to shame those whose lines have been cast in pleas- anter places. Their Annual Dinner. They ‘prove this at least once a year, on the occasion of the annual Christmas dinner which ts given in their honor and for their benetit by a number of the char- itably disposed of the people of Washing- ton, through the agency of the Newsboys’ and Children’s Aid Society. The dinner this year occurred yesterday afteruoon,. and Was spread in Marini’s Hall, on E street, which was given to the ladies in charge by Union Division, No. 8 U. R. K. P. More than 3) hungry and happy little boys, and a small sprinkling of little girls as well, were on hand long vefore the hour which had been set for the beginning of the feast, and when the doors were thrown open they made one grand rush for the inside, and they stood not on the order of their going, but went in a hurry, the object of each and every one being to get into a desirable place with the slightest delay possible. ‘Tickets for the occasion had becn distributed judiciously, bui liberally, at the various newspaper offices and in other Ways, so that there was no danger that there would not be a sufficiently large at- tendance on hand to dispose of ail the good things that had been provided. It was, of course, a Jolly, good-ratured crowd, for the boys were all out for a good time, but it took the best efforts of a couple of blue- coated policemen to prevent them from swooping down upon the tables before everything was ready, Getting Down to Work. Most of the small urchins were coiored, but there was no dividing line growing out of the color question, and the way they plurged into the repast together showed that they were all brothers in a comimon cause. As so as something akin to cr- der had been brougiit out of the chaos, there was a brief suence, while Kev, Lr. Little made a brief aduress of welcome and Rey. Mr. Childs asked a biessing on tne gathering of chiidren, it was a royai feast and one that those small boys and girls are not likely to for- get in many a day. Of course, as is proper an a Christmas dinner, the foundation was laid in turkey, great pieces of hght and of dark meat that were enough to make the mouth of any hungry child water at the very sight. ‘Then ail the trimmings were there in abundance; vegetables, cranber- ries, bread and butter; in fact, everything that goes to make up the conventional Christmas dinner. That was all there was conventional about it, however, for the way those same small youths went for the viands before them was thoroughly out of the ordinary run. They ate and ate until they could positively eas no more, and then they were sotry that it was at the end of the feast instead of the beginning. Bags of Candy Distributed. At the very end came ice cream and cake, and then big comfortable bags of candy were distributed for them to cary home, and this feature of the entertainmeng pret- ty nearly created a riot, so anxious were the guests to get their full share of the sweets and a little more if possible. And then they went away. But they went away such a well-fed, contented and, for the lime being, happy crowd of young peo- ple that all of thuse who had worked so bard to make the feast a success felt more than repaid with the feeling that they had in truth made other and less fortunate ones appreciate and enjoy something of the true spirit of the Christmas season. The ladies who had active charge of the affair were Mrs. J. W. Babson, Mrs. Edgar, Mrs. ‘Thomas, Mrs. Merchant and Mrs. Halpine. ‘The committee on reception were Mrs. ‘Tel- ler, Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Childs. The ladies and gentlemen who waited on the tables were Mrs. Atwalling, Miss Childs, Mrs. T. B. Wood, Mrs. Alfred Wood, Miss Wilbur, Mrs. Mérchant, Mrs. Halpine, Miss M. Payne, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. ‘Thomas, Miss Babson, Mrs. H. M. Artherton, Mis: Emma Tibbits, Miss Tyler, the Misses El- liott, Miss Newcomb, Miss Bayne, the Misses Jackson, Miss Strong, Miss McCul- loch, Miss Wood, Mrs. Dorn, Miss Halpine, Mr. Woods, Mr. Parsons and Master Bab- son. Le eae Happy Sunday School Children, The Sunday school rooms of the Mc- Kendrée M. E. Sunday school were well filled last gvening with an audience that was highly entertained by the exercises of a Christmas program, voted to be the best ever presented by this school, noted for the excellence of its entertainments, ‘After the usual opening exercises of song, appropriate Scripture reading and pray-r, the principal item of the program—a ju- venile Christmas cantata, “How We Wait- ed for Santa Claus"—was rendered ty members of the school, assisted by a select quartet, consisting of Mrs. Wishart, Mrs. Keene, Mr. Flathers and Mr. Nelligar, with Miss Mary Boss as pianist. Part first of the cantata opened with a song, “Santa Claus is Coming,” followed Ly .& dialogue as to the hour of his coming and the good time he would bring, partici- pated in by Bessie Gheen, Susie Crossman, Gertie Coder, Emily Breewood, Flossie White and Alice Johnson, Miss Carrie chart singing the song, “A Jolly Time We'll Have,” and Miss Susie Crossman singing “A Jolly Christmas.” A sewing circle of six girls—Edith Carter, Maud Budd, Annie Priddy, Lillie White, Mabel Gheen and Della Sisson—represent- ing elderly ladies, sewing, moralizing and gossiping, are interrupted by the entrance of the secretary, who fails to recognize these ladies as children of the school re- hearsing their part of the program. A lit- Ue tired and sleepy girl, Emily Breewood, sang to Santa Claus “Don’t Forget Me,” was undressed and gowned for bed by her nurse, Mrs. Gothhold, sang her “Evening Prayer,” dropping to sleep before .t was finished,and was tucked away in her cradle to dream of Santa Claus. Part second was an exhibition drill by the boys’ brigade, consisting of Masters Henricks, Hamilton, Brooks, Page, Bow- beer, Lee, Locke, Wallace, Sheid, Cissel, Davis, Keyes, Auckerhausen, Carter and Brown, commanded by Capt. Charles Cum- mins. Then appeared a company of children from the home,represented by Bertha King, Aggie Haas, Violet Jones, Bessie Sisson, Lizzie Locke, for whom Edna Middleton sang a pathetic song, “Pity the Poor Waits.” ‘At a false alarm all the children rushed in and upon the platform, but instead of Santa Claus !t was Jack-Frost, Mr. Chase, who, aideé by Christmas fairies, 8 Carrie Burkhart, Edna Middleton, Alice Crossman, Florence Hinkle, Wahieta Del- blau and Gracie McKenzie, soon caused them ail to fall asleep, when Santa Claus, Mr. Middleton, came down the chimney, arousing them with his bells and songs, and joked them for being asleep, which they laid to Jack Frost. But they were all remembered with gifts, and all went home merry and happy. The program was under the management of Miss Bessie Latham and Miss Fannie Meeks. ———_—_ Remembered a Pastor. Rev. J. A. Taylor, pastor of Shiloh Bap- tist Church, L street between 16th and 17th streets northwest, was the recipient of numerous presents on Christmas from his devoted congregation, a $50 suit of clothes and other wearing apparel, a bar- rel of flour, hams, turkeys and all kinds of groceries and a $25 purse being among the gifts. Mrs. Taylor was presented with a purse also, le the children received many presents. Coughing.
