WERE BLESSED IN GIVING Christmas Eve Entertainments Marked by Oharity on the Part of Children, NEEDY AT HOME AND ABROAD REMEMBERED Bundiy School Exercises Last Evening in the Omaha Charches—Children Learned a New Well—In Charches Today. Lesson the school rooms of the Tirst Methodist church were tastily decorated for the Christmas entertainment last night. The decorations consisted of evergreen and holly, gracetully draped from chandeliers, and large mottoes, worked with evergreen, were dis played upon the walls, and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree was arranged in the southeast corner of the room. One of the most enjoyable features of the entertainment was the announcement of the #several Sunday school teachers of the do nations their individual classes had made for the benefit of the poor people who would be unable to enjoy a Christmas dinner othe wise. As the teachers announced their con- tributions to the poor they were received by rounds of o from the large audience in _The Sunda a plause attendance. Donations of all kinds of provisions were made and left at the church for distribu- tion this morning among the poor of th city, and all that remains uncalled for will be sent to the 011 Ladies' home and to the Associated charities for distr The entertainment given one of the best of Its kind ¢ the church.

At the close of the entertainment a k- age of candy and nuts was given to each of the Sunday school scholars. AT BETH-EDEN BAPTIST. A merry Christmas eve was had at Beth- Eden Baptist church last night. It was a Christmas celebration somewhat out of the ordinary because, instead of recelving, the children gave, and their bright faces re- flected the goodness of their hearts as the little boys and girls piled up good, sub- stantial food and clothing for tha benefit of other little boys and girls who will not have a happy Christmas. It was decided by Superintendent Lansing and the teachers of the Sunday school of this church that there was too much suffering among the destitute of Nebraska to have a public presentation of costly presents, so it was arranged that each Sunday school scholar should bring a package of something useful which is to be given to the Nebraska Re- lief commission, to be sent to the needy poor. The children were formed in line and then marched into the church past the pulpit. As they came forward bundles of food, such s chickens, turkeys, flour, meal, beans, rice, sugar, tea, coffee, etc., were piled up until there was a huge. dray load, and then the children followed dut a brief literary and iusical program, in which mort of the gcholars took part. On_the rostrum was & mountain scene, with ‘a_little home, In which was an old fashioféd fireplace. In the background was Santa Claus (R. B. Sundarland) and his rein- deer and two Brownie assstants (Charley Drexel and Donald Douglas). Santa Claus disappeared, but was soon scen coming down the big chimney. He remarked that the place did not seem like it was last year. There were evidences of poverty. He read a touch- ing letter from the little girl who lived there and proceeded to fill boxes, tables and stock- ings with good things until the spectators broke forth in enthusiastic applause. His Brownle assistants were kept busy as beavers all the while, and then all disappeared, while the family came in and offered up thanks for tho bounteous treat, It was a happy lesson, well taught, and after it was all over the bricks composing the fircplace (boxes of candy and nuts) were distributed among the scholars as mementoes of their self-denial. The infant class sang “Angels In Their Glory” and two classes recited the dialogue “Birthday of Our King.” Fred S, Abel satg the solo “‘Star of Bethlehem,” and the whole audienco sang a Christmas’ carol of thanks to Him on high. SANTA CLAUS AS LOVER. When Santa Claus visited the Sunday school of the Frist Presbyterian church last night he found nearly all the members of the school, together with their fathers, moth ers, Drothers, sisters and other relatives, nearly 300 people, awaiting his arrival. The walls, ceiling and columns of the room had been adorned with evergreens in his honor, and on the platform a chimney of red bricks had been crected for his convenlence. Before the fireplace an old grandmother, represented by Miss Nora Raker, was knifting by the light of a candle. While she was sitting there and before the arrival of Santa Claus three naughty children, in the persons of Anna Pugh, Dalsy Markell and Donald Ken- nedy, all little tots, came in to pay her a visit, After a very prettily spoken’ conver: satlon by the chiliren and the grandmother tho little ones were put to bed in two cribs. Then Santa Claus, alias J. B. Christian, ap- peared on the scene. A dlalogue ensued be- tween the grandmother and Santa Claus, in which Santa tried to make love to grand- mother, and Incidentally mentioned that the chimney was made of fairy bricks, and he had the power to take them down. He wanted grandma’s permission to tear the chimney down, because he wanted to give the bricks to the good children of the First firesbyterian church, By a few flattering al- usions to grandma’s prettiness he obtained the permission, and while he was pulling down the bricks Braton Sarson rendered welf & recitation, which told the audience th the bricks were for them. They were pass: around, and when they were opened (hey were found to contain good candy. Preity s0on children, thelr fathers, mothers, broth. ers, sisters and other relatives were munch. Ing. At the conclusion of the entertainment the room was glven over to the ohildren Who had a good time all by themselyes, SERVICES TODAY.

At the Knox Presbyterian church at Nine- teenth and Ohio streets there was no Chirie mas tree last night, although there were e erc s which afforded the members of the unday school any amount of pleasure. In the rear of the pulpit there had been built the representation of an old fashioned fir place and a huge chimney extending through the window. Down this chimney and out of the fireplace came Saint Nicholas, wearing a white beard and clothed in furs from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head. After the old gentleman had frisked about the platform, to the great delight of the chil- dren, he' gathered up a couple of baskets of popeorn and candy, which had been prepared for the visit, and marched down through the body of the church, dealing out his presents with the greatest of generosity, after which he took his departure for the frigid land of the north. Later in the evening there was a literary entertainment, with select readings, music and recitation John's Episcopal Pure as mountain air, white as driven snow, Is Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder, —_——— ONLY A FEW COMPLAIN. Holiday Trade Keeping the Merchants of the City . . Everybody spends money for Christmas whether everybody has money or not. This fact has been fully established in Omaha dur- ing the past two weeks. Never before in the recent history of Omaha has the Christmas trade been liveller, the demand for holiday goods more urgent and the volume of sales greater than in the past ten days. Sixteenth street has fairly swarmed with crowds of shoppers. Commencing with a week ago the retail strests have presented an unusually animated appearance and the crowds in- creased with each succeeding day and even- Ing. By Friday afternoon the streets were almost “impassable and on Saturday it was simply a crush from 2 o'clock in the after- noon until after 10 at night. On Saturday afternoon Chief of Police Seavey found it necessary to station a police officer at the Intersection of Sixteenth and Douglas, around which the big crowds naturally gravitated, to prevent people from being run down by the hundreds of €arriages passing back and forth. Delivery wagons have been running on an elghteen-lour schedule and clerks, cashiers and cash boys have been well nigh worked to death. The big rush closed last night and the results are already apparent. The consensus of a large number of intervirws obtained by The Bee yesterday is to the effect that the trade has been fully as good as last year and in many lines better. The trade has exceeded even the expectations of the most sanguine. But one man of the many who talked to the re- porter was heard to complain, and he s a man who has never been known to advertise his business since he came to Omaha. Mr. Brandeis of the Boston store stafed that the volume of trade had been as great this year as last. If anything it was larger. ““The crowds of buyers,” he sald, “have been greater than ever and they have bought more £oods, but they have bought cheaper ones. The mildness of the weather has naturally prevented an extensive trade in heavy ar- ticles, The scarcity of money has likewise prevented people from buying the more ex- pensive line of goods, but they have bought more of the cheaper lines and our trade 'h. been more than satisfactory to us. I'm sat- isfled from the reports I have received that Omaha's trade this year, since the holiday season set in, has been fully better thas any city In_the Missouri Valley.' Mr. William Hayden of the firm of Hayden Bros. sald: “‘We ‘are far ahead of our trade last year, both In the volume of business done and in the amount of money taken in, The holiday trade has been much larger than we expected. In fact, in may of our lines we believed we had Jaid in stocks that would last us fully two years. They are cleaned out. We have never experienced such a jam in our store as we had last Saturday night, It is true that people are buying cheaper goods, but our business convinces us that' while the quality of goods sold Is under the average of last year the quantity is much greater."” Robert Raffen, manager of Falconer's: “We are sclling more goods this year, but of cheaper grade. The cash recelpts have been fully as large as last year. Upon the whole the trade has been more than satisfactory, considering the times and the weather. While times are hard and money scarce, 1 believe the continued mild weather has done more to prevent the general trade from largely ex- ceeding last year's than any other factor,” A, Mmd.-lhnrf, dealer in diamonds, ete,, sald that he had been selling no large goods but had sold three times as many goods of a less expensive character as last year. He has had all the trade he could well accommo- date with the room at his disposal and the cash receipts have been as large as last year, but it has required three times as much work to sell the goods. Mr. Lauman of the firm of Galch & Lau- man said: “Our holiday trade in cut glass- ware, fine china, etc., has come up to our most sanguine expectations, We have had a steady trade and the aggregate has been much larger than for many previous years, In years past our trade has generally closed on Saturday nights, but today we are doing a larger business than at any time since the season opened.” Chase & Eddy have had a large trade, not only in the cheaper line of books, but in the more expensive, “Our line of editions de luxe,” said Mr. Chase, “has already been closed out completely. We had calls for twelve sets of one edition this forenoon after all had been sold. We are simply cleaned out of everything in the holiday line, Of course we have nothing to complain of be- cause we have had a large trade.” A. Hospe, jr., has enjoyed an unusually large trade in art works, etc. “Our sales have been of larger volume, but the quality has been less expensive. Our sales have been larger in the aggregate than last season." Thurston's Kook of Spee Hon. John M.

SMITH KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED Neither of the Men Is Seriously Injured— Highwaymen Thought to Be Twe Prisoners Recently Released on a Suspended Sentences - Last evening shortly after 6 o'clock Dr. Cornelius Satterfield was held up near the | corner of Nineteenth and Mason streets. As | he was going south on Nineteenth street | he met two men, who ordered him to hold [up his hands. He hesitated o for |2 moment, and each shoved a revolver in his face. As he threw up hands he attempted to knock the revolvers up, and the highwaymen took a shot at him. One of the bullets struck him in the forearm, but 3d not hit the bone. He went to his drug store, at 720 South Sixteenth street, where his wound was dressed. The highwaymen obtained nothing from him. About half an hour later F. C. Smith met two men at the corner of Twenty-second and Howard streets, and did not come out of the encounter as fortunately as Dr. Sat- terfleld. The highwaymen are supposed to be the same pair, as the descriptions tally well. Without saying a word, one of them struck Mr. Smith on the head with a re- volver, knocking him down. The blow, how- ever, did not render him unconscious. Then o men went through his pockets, and ob- ned a considerable amount of change and a gold watch. Mr. Smith was not badly in- Jured, and was taken to his home, at 2215 Howard street. From the descriptions given, the police think that the highwaymen are two men who were in jail a few days ago for begging on the street. At their trial they were given ninety days, but the sentence was suspended on condition that they got out of town. R e A Phantom Carringe. Mr. J. H. Evans of this city has introduced to Omaha a decided novelty in the carriage line. It is in the shape of an elegant brougham, modeled on exquisite lines and up- holstered in morocco and satin. But the one pre-eminent feature of the vehicle Is the rubber tire, with which its wheels are equipped. These rubber tires, the first ever placed on a carriage in Omaha or the state of Nebraska, render the vehicle absolutely noiseless. In it the rider enjoys absolute comfort, there being no jolting In cros Iway tracks or other obstructions. of the horses' hoofs is the only evidence of sound produced while the car- riage Is traversing the streets. It seems to be the acme of elegance and comfort in the carriage line. ‘The vehicle is furnished by the well known Drummond Carriage com- pany of this city, and will be on exhibition at their show room at Eighteenth and Har- ney streets for one week, where it should be visited by all interested. These tires can be placed on any carriage in four days’ time, —— Christmas and New Years Excursions, Everywhere on the Northwestern lines within 200 miles for one and one-third fare.

The Board of Park Commissioners held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to con- sider the deed by which the official seal was to he laid on Hascall's scheme for re- lieving Tom Murray from all further bur- dens in the way of special taxes. Like the famous general, they marched up hill and then marched back again, and ended by doing nothing, Hascall was on hand to defend his proposition, and improved the opportunity to abuse City Attorney Connell, the newspapers and every one else who had presumed to point out the real intent of the ordinance, He asserted that it was an outrage that a pack of importunate scribblers should be al- lowed to interfere in such a mater. “1 think this is an outrage, too," suggested Mr. Millard, shoving a sheet of paper full of figures over the table. This was an es- timate by City Engineer Rosewater of the cost of improving Valley. street, of which Mr. Murray would be relleved as the first installment” of his compen:ation for his do- nation of nine acres of land. The estimate amounted to $21,151. Hascall did not care to discuss this phase of the proposition, but he enlarged at a great rate on the importance of securing the con templated addition to Riverview park, and threatened that if the proposition was not accepted Murray would compel the city to grade Grover street, which would involve the board for & considerable amount in spe- clal taxes. All members of the board expressed them- selves as belng opposed to mccepting a propo- sition with such a string attached as the re- mittance of special taxes for all time to come. Judge Lake thought, however, that the board had nothing to say about it, and on his recommendation an adjournment was taken without action. Judge Lake held that the board could simply suggest measures Lo the council, and would have to abide by it action, It had not recommended the propo- sition in its present form, and it should leave the responsibility with the city coun- oll, where it belonged. The most it could do’ was to point out to the mayor and coun- cll the obnoxious provision, but it was not to be expected that this would be telling it more than it alveady knew. e L Started from a Lamp.

The fire is supposed Mr. Stuart Robson and a very evenly bal- anced company began their engagement at Boyd's theater last evening in the old but still enjoyable comedy, ““She Stoops to Con- quer.” The numerous attractions of Christ- mas eve were visible in more empty seats than the merit of the performance deserved, but the audience was not limited in approba- tion as in numbers, Mr. Robson's interpretation of the character of Tony Lumpk'ns has changed in no per- ceptible respect since his previous appearance In Omaha. The devil-may-care eccentricities of that mischief-making individual seem to be perfectly suited to his inimitable drawl and careless humor, and, as usual, he re- celved fully his share of appreciation. Mrs. Robson as Miss Hardcastle very ef- fectively supported the star, and her por- trayal of the emotions of that autocratic young woman under the impulse of the blind god's dart was extremely satisfctory. She has the discretion not to make either too much or too little of the part, and the fidel- Ity with which she assumes what is natural and no more constitutes the chief charm of her performance, Mr. Henry Bergman as- sumed the role of the much mystified lover with decided success, and he was capably sec- onded by Mr. John Webster, jr., who took the part of Hastings. The character of Miss Neville was fairly well don= by Miss Camille Campbell, who mak sweet volce and a pretty figure atone for a rather plain face. Mr. Willlam Yerance offered a very satis- factory representation of Squire Ha:dcastle and the minor parts were in capable hands, oA Ry Trumbull Rainbow Chasing. DENVER, Dec.
