Each peron 1n the' house was supplied and then 500 tickets to the Eden Museo were given away. ‘One mora Mr, Clarkson mounted the plat- form and read a telegram trom Long Pine, in which 200 children of that town joined in wishing the 4,000 poor children of Omala a ry Christma Tho members of the Trinity cathedral choir sang several choice sclections, after which Prof. Gillispio of tho deaf and dumb insti- tute, assisted by twenty of hs pupils ren- dercd “Newrer My God to_Thee" in the sigu language in a manner that evoked loud and long applause. During these exercises Mrs. J. K. Reid presided at the piano. This closed the et programme ana during the remainder of the afternooon the children romped sbout the hall and munched pop-corn to their hearts' content. At Trinity Untnedral. Trinity cathedral was filled to overflowing at the midday service yesterday. The decor- atlons wore charming and appropriate. Tho altar was almost completely hidden behind ropes of evergreen and smilax, relioved by largo bunches of carnations, calla lilies and roses. Al the stations were decorated with ropes of ovorgreen and bunches of holly, tho red berrios standing out in marked contrast with the dark green. Within tho chancol rail threo large arches had been erected, tho aesign boing in earmony with tho general de- slign of the altar and stations. These arches wero covered with overgreen and holly with which the chancel rail was also decorated, large ropes boing twined about tho ral. In the travsept were further decorations of ever- green and fir. The servicss openod with the “Adeste Fidelis,” sung by the vested choiras it moved from tho outer door up the center aislo to the chancel.

The sermon was an earnest and stirring ap- peal to the heartsof the hearers, dwelling upon the ideas and purposes of the festival being celebrated and appealing to the better self of all to endeavor to make the season an enjoyable one to all mankind. The music was most excellent and was ren- dered very effectively by the large ohoir. Among those present wero noticed Mrs, Houry M. Stanley and mother, At ANl Saints, The Christmas services at All Saints Epis- copal church, corner of ‘Twenty-sixth and Half Howard, were appropriate to the octa- sion and very interesting. ‘I'he church was elaborately decorated with evergreens, laurel and palms,which rendered the interior of the imposing edifice moro beautiful than ever. The evergreen and laurel were procured in Pennsylvana and shipped here for the express purpose of dec- orating the church, and it required a week of constant labor on_the part of many busy but willing workers to fashion them into the pleasing designs which traced all parts of the structure. Along the center aisle were ar- ranged six arches of evergreen and laurel leaves, under which the sur- pliced choir marched from the entrance of the church to the cbancel, the effect bolng & very pleasing’ one. ‘The walls were covered with seemingly end- less festoons of evergreen, and wreaths of the same material graced the chandeliers and ,“ll brackets, Bunches of palms figured pro- in the decorations, and the softened uum el\lormg through the stained glass win- dows served only to intensify the general richness af the scene. ‘The first Christmas exercises were held on ‘Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock, when & full musical servico was rendered, At the same hour yesterday morning short services were held, at 11 o'clock full musical services and holy communion. A spocial musical pro- gramme was arranged by Choirmaster Pen. nell and an accompaniment in brass added much toit. Tho rector, Rev.

The “soulless corporation,” as you are ed to term the railroad company, and you are undoubtedly correct in thus ing, notified the county coroner of the circumstances, and he, after investigat- ing tho case, refused to take the body from the depot, and thus the matter stood until Wednesday afternoon, when money was d in our town by private subscription to pay expenses and - the body was given docent by "Tho statoment that the “authorities placod a night watch at the depot to that the ©cOrpso was not surreptitiously removed and placed in somo vacant house,” is false in every particular, The authorities were un- doubtedly right in refusing to accept tho ex- pense and responsibility the “soulless cor- poration sought to thrust upon them, but when it comes to a matter of Inxuumhy not only the authorities but every citizen of 1‘] t\Illlul\l will be found ready to do their uty.

The entire damage will, perhaps, not exceed 3,000, Shortly after7 o'clock a Missouri Pacific engine passed through the alloyway between Nicholas and Izard streets, pulling a heavy train of grain for the Woodman linseed ol company. Sparks from the engine set fire to the roof of a barn just back of the store occupied by the S. F, Gilman flour company, and before the fire was discovered it had reached the store building, which was considerably damaged. The loss on the stock will reach nearly $2,000, but it 1s fully insured. The Inman hay company occupied the store building next door. The flames soon reached the hay and feed and did about $1,000 dum- age. Thestock was insured in the Home five w0 compeny for & D.

They show her when she was respectively wife and queen regent. One sees her at all anges, from her early teens to almost the closo of * her veign. Cleopatra, on these coins and medals, is far neaver to Sarah Bernhardt than to Mrs, Langtry. She is almost spare in figuro when young, and at all times lithe. She remained young to the last. Had she lived to eighty she might have looked a little like Prince Na- soleon, the mouth and chin having a Mother Hubbard tendency to meet. The full, lucious lips, resembling those of a Somali woman’s, do not mitigate much the hardness of the physiognomy. Itis a strange countenance, and one easy to read. The forehond bulges out at the_eyebrows. Its prominence here gives it singular irregularity, prodac- ing the effect almost of asmaller head growing out of alarger one. Jovewas represented by Greek sculptors with such a forehead, but on a more massive scale. The eyeis greatly inshadow, and almost sinister, it having the ex- pression of a snake’s when a bird is to bo charmed. The aquiline curve of the nose is at once strong and delicate, and the nostril is well open and llnul\' curved. Taken with the lips it gives an impression of a woman prone to sensual joys, cynical, fond of a cruel joke and contemptuous. Her firmly molded and advancing chin shows volifion. She was wilful to the last degree, and not to be turned from any purpose. The hair is dressed in the Greek manner and twisted up in a small knot on the nape of the neck. Sheis bad and bewitching. All the men she facinated saw lhx'uugh hor, bat were too intoxicated by her charms to break away from her.

I entered an office building in London, which was not far from the Bank of England, to see a friend, who was on the top floor, In the corridor I saw a number of boxes following one another up oue shaft_and down another. They were attached to an endless chain, wore large enough to hold several persons. “I looked at the machine in some doubt, when suddenly’ s man stepped out of one of the boxed' 6t cars which was coming down. The car, which was going at what seomed to me a rapid rate of speed, did not stop, the man jumping off it while it was in motion.” Protty soon I saw other then jumpingin and out of the cars, which were about as far apart on the endless chain as the di tance from floor to floor. T at first hos- itatod abont risking my limbs and life on the contrivance, but mmn stepped into an asceding just_before its bot- |~n|| was on a level with the floor, 0 sooner had I done this than T began to pet afraid that I might be crushed to death between the carand the floor or ceiling when [ tried to step off. Of a sudden it struck me that if I did not get off at the top floor I would be carried to the roof and then stood on my head in the car as it turned over. I was in a perfect fever of an and could hardly screw up my courage to the point of alighting, but I managed to do this when tho top floor was reached. 1 found that it was much easier to get out than I had supposed, and when I finished my call I boldly rode down on the machine, ‘T afterward learned that a man who did not get out of an ascending car at the top floor would be in no danger of heing turned upside down at the top of the shaft, because the car aly tains its upright position, T to the fact that only the roof of the car is fastened to the cable, so the car al- remains bottom down by its own weight.

Mollie Matches in San Francisco Ex- aminer: ‘It takes at least three mon to do the work, and four are better, In this ‘mob,’ a8 we term it, is one pick- pocket proper; the rest aro helpers. Hhe expenses of a mob are high. Then, s nmm goes 20 per cent for ‘pro- ? Many a time I've worked under tual eye of a detective. In event of a ‘tumble’ and a ‘squeal’ he would in the hurry and bustle rush in and grab the man who was touched and hold him and I got out of sight. Then, of course, he would apologize nnd deplore his mistake in grabbing the wrong man. Then, another thing. Thieveslose vastly on the stuff they take, unless it's money. Watches, diamonds and similar plunder we only get about 35 or 40 cents on a doll: here is another reason why profits in thiever, are not so large. One cannot work for- ever. A man’s nerve begins to shake after about two weeks and then he hag to lay off until he is himself again. T ho man who ‘takes,’ as a. rule, 08 th stuff out of his hands as soon us he can. If a thief carries o ‘hot leather,’ that is some pocketbook just taken, or that there is a row about, he doesn’t put it in his pocket. He carries it under his vest, s0 that by simrly drawing in his breath it will fall to the ground. He does this, of course, and lets the leather go in event of heing takén. He will drop the wallet as he and the officer are walking along. In the dark it's easy. Justdrop the stuff ana walk over it. I’ve walke over hundreds inmy time. Where de- tectives make a mistake is in not search- ing men as soon as they grab ‘em, “Thieves don’t work in winter if they can help it, either, as overcoats and that sort of cold woather harness make it very risky. Sometimes thieves got reck- less and turn a trick for funand just to demonstrate how smart they are.” Isaw a man once in the seat ahead of me on the train who put his pocketbook in_his hip pocket after ho paid his fare, Just to show what I could do I waited until he sat dozing in his seat. Then I began to push on the back of the car seat with one knee, and as fast as I raised theseat- back I held it by wedging my other foot in between it and the bottom of the seat. I lay back and pretended to sleepall this time myself, and I worked so slowly and 50 steadily that my friend never awoke atall. When I had the back of the seat raised so high that I could make the trip I reached under and took the pocket- book. It took forty-five minutes to get this pocketbook. “Never take a silver watch. It is not valuable enough. In getting watches the man who does the work stands still with his back to the party wanted. This sort of work will occur at race tracks and at any place where crowds are standing. The ‘stalls’ get behind the vietim and commence crowding one way and the other until they get the gentle- man squre against the shoulder of the pickpocket. On his left arm he carries u. duster or shawl as a ‘cover,’ and when the gentleman is all placed the pick- podkot goes through him with his right and, roaching across himself to do the feat, covering his vight arm and hand from sight with the duster on his left and looking steadily the other way all the time. The man who is robbed never sees the face of the man who takes his watch at all, and this is a great point in case he makes a roar. As a rule I never take the chain. Theyare mostly plated and there's nothig in them. 1t is easier and quicker ta tuke the watch alone. The rings are only sprung into the watch stem—not riveteds; and as you take the watch you can twist the ring free from the watch and chain by an easy effort of the thumb and fore- finger. Youdon't drop the ring; you bring watch and ring both, but separate (rum each other. “'Sometimes a_very ticklish thing oe- curs, Igetholdofa watch that opens easy and spring it open before I know it.

Two days out of port yellow fevor broke out among the crew,and in two days more the only people left alive on board the vessel were Captain Meindres, his wifo and baby, and the first mate. Mrs, Meindres took command of the vessel and with the help of the first mate suc- ceedod in navigating the vessel into the port of Freemantle, in eastern Australia. The mate managed the sails and the captain’s wifo stood nt tho whoel during nearly the whole voynge. When the weather was fine the mate would take the wheel and Mps. Meindres would cook and nurse her sick husband, for the captain, although he survived the fever, was sick from it all the voyage. Once in the courso of tho voyage a storm came up, and the vessel labored so heavily that she sprung aleak, In the midst of the storm Mrs. Meindres and the mate managed to throw overboard 250 bags of sugar to lighten the vessel.
