ALAMEDA, Can, Dec. 25.— Bruno Funke, dancing master, barber and delin- quent husband, is no longer in danger of ing to jail for contempt becauze of his re to pay alimony and counsel fees in accordance with an order of the court. He has entered into an agreement with his wife to pay her a lump sum of $250 in lieu of the $10 a month ordered by the Judge to be paid her, which be not only failed utterly to pay, but was never able to give the court a valid reason for not paying. Against Vegotable Gardens. ALAMEDA, Car., Dec. 25.—The muni- cipal Board wiil take action to restrict the maintenance of vegetable gardens within the city limits. Heretofore the large tracts not improved and lying on the outskirts of the city have been planted to vegetables, and as building encroaches the irrigating, manuring and decaying of refuse vegetable matter has proved to be a nuisance and to arrest and divert public improvements, especially the extension, opening and 1m- provement of streets, Attention was called to the fact that preparations were being made to plant gardens on smaller vacant tracts in the center of town and at its last meeting the board instrncted the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance to restrict and pre- vent such project being carried out.

The interest in the y ting-ink business in San Francisco constitutes the bulk of it, though there are also landed interests in Los Angeies and Kern counties, bank stock and good prom- iseory not besides an elegant home on Central avenue in Alameda.

CHRISTAAAS 1N BERKELEY, Q Special Services of an Imposing Nature Held at St. Mark’s Episcopal. Rev. George E.Swan to Be Instituted Rector Next Sunday by Bishop Nichols. BERKELEY, CaL., Dec. 25.—Christmas day was celebrated in Berkele an un- ostentatious manner. With the single ex- ception of St. Mark’s Episcopal and St. eph's Catholic all the churches held their Christmas services last Sunday, and observed to-d only with brief prayer service. Special exercises were conducted Si. Mark’s under the direction of the rewly appointed rector, Rev. George E. Swan. This was the occasion of Mr. Swan’s final address prior to his institu- tion as rector of the parish, which is to take place next Sunday morning, at which Bisbop Nichols will officiate. The decor- ations of the auditorium were beautiful. During the service the choir of twenty voices rendered the following special selec- tions: *‘Te Deum” in D, Bach; offertory, “Christmas Eve,”’ by Stewart, including a tenor solo by Whitney Palache and chorus by the choir; “Gloria in Excel- sis,” in C, Tours. The Text of Mr. Swain’s sermon was taken from Hebrew ii:16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abra- ham. Mr. Swain showed that the fact that hoice, and that there was a difference be- tween his entrance into this life and that of ordinary men. Christ didnot inherit or receive, but he took as a voluntary action the nature of man. He did not take an- gelic nature. The passing by of this would seem to indicate one who was superior to the angelic nature, able to assume it if he so wished. 1£ more than man and more than angel, why then less than God? He took upon bim human nature, not merely in the gen- eral sense, but aiso in the particular sense; for be was born under the law an Israelite accordi to the flesh of the seed of Abra- ham, thus fulfilling the promise given to | Abraham so many centuries ago, *“In thy seed shall ali the kindreds of the earth be blest.” In what sense did he take on flesh? It was not mereiy a marvel, but supernatural. The conception was immaculate; there- fore his human nature, whilst like ours in | all other points, was like us in this—that » { indivisible. Christ was without sin. The speaker defined the Lord’s human nature as being true, perfect, distinct and —————— [BLAINE'S OLD SADDLE HORSE. An Animal That Was Well Enown in Washington. There died the other day at E. H. Greely's farm in Trenton, Me., a character once well known in diplomatic circles at Washington. This individual was none else than James G. Blaine’s old saddle and driving horse, Denman, who, having reached the advanced age of more than twenty-five years and become a burden to himself, was quietly and humanely trans- ported to the happy hunting grounds under the painless influence of a rag full of chloroform. At Mr. Blaine's death Mrs. Blaine had placed the animal in Mr. Greely’s charge, considering him tue one person suitaole | to care for the failing health of the aged horse, and one whose intimate and ex- tended experience would fit him admirably for the position of guardian to her beloved Denman. That was three yearsago, and siuce that time Mr. Greely has kept Den- man on his farm at Trenton, receiving every year a hiberal allowance from Mrs. B for his upport. A few days ago eely found that the horse was grow- ing painially oid, and as he was of no real anybody (for Mrs. Blaine would not w him to be used) he consulted with Mrs. Blaine, and Denman has passed away, as already stated. Like Mr. Blaine, Denman was one of the best-known figures of the State in his class and generation. Mr. Blaine was exceed- ingly fond of him and treated him with the consideration accorded a child. Den- man was a frequent visitor to Washing- ton, and his proud stepping up and down Pennsylvania avenue was described as zin the extreme.—Lewiston Jour- A STATUE FOR BURNSIDE. Lincoln Reposed the Utmost Confidence in the Rhode Islander. A statue for Burnside—and why not? The good old fellow was the only com- manding officer who doubted his own abil- ity to cope victoriously with the Confed- erates and to put down the Rebellion as he would a street fight. Burnside was a mag- nificent man, vphysically considered, straight as an arrow, with dignity and grace in every line of his portly figure. I remember seeing President Lincoln and General Burnside pacing the sidewalk op- posite the White House grounds, in earnest conversation for at leest an hour. The President, awkward, ungainly, lanky, the general in military surtout, relief cap and high boots. Mr. Lincoln trusted the Rhiode Islander more than he trusted him- self. History shows that Burnside did his best. and when he found his best was in- eftective he resigned. The sum of $50,000 13 none too much for the perpetuation of the memory of the soldierly New Eng- lander, and the statue should be erected in Washington, not because there are there so many of soldiers from the West; not because he came from the East, but be- cause he_ believed in and fought for the Union, North, South, East and West.

It Consists Not of Sentiment and Gifts, But of a Glorious Reality. 0AxRLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcsco C. m.,} 208 Broadway, Dec. 25. The Free Baptist Church, on Twenty- first street, was filled with an audience this morning who were drawn together to hear the pastor, Rev. Philip Graif, speak on “An Ideal Christmas.”” In brief, the speaker said: *‘Christ’s ad- vent is unquestionably the greatest single event of all history, making God and heaven not a far-off hypothesis, but a present realization. Indeed, Christmas 1s something more than a little keyhole peep into God's universe. It is a whole, full- visioned window, fronting such a moral sunrise as the world bad never before ob- served. With the manger cradle God came as a new beauty and inspiration into workshop and kitchen, sheepcote and mar- struggle, and by a gospel of mustard seed talent, broken alabaster box and Samari tan ointment, shed a’new glory over com- mon days and paltry duties. **An ideal Christmas is a flush of inspira- tion, not a chill of discouragement, a strain of enticing music alluring humanity to mount the heights, not the crack of a cruel taskmaster. Sunny and buoyant,.its angel song in the Bethiehem sky makes ashen Jips smile, turns tears tolaughter, refines the feelings of culture, sweetens and broadens the serse of brotherhood, spreads the gifts of benevolence and decks the brow of happiness with a coronaiion splendor. Its lip is not ruffled with a snarl of complaint, but thrills with a note of thanksgiving, even though its table be not graced with gold plates or flavored with the dainty or succulent flesh of some toothsome wild fowl, A halleiujah chorus is truer than a set of sanctimonious growls. Better far than to titilate with the thrill of the epicure’s palate for oneself is it to look after the loafless misertes of the poor, and garnish their crusts -and bon pieces of royal turkey meat and dishes of cranberry sauce. “*Christianity is something finer thana view of poetry, something nobler thana choice stock of truths, something more tangible than a system oi transcendental philosophy. Christmas fails of its high significance if it does not introduce a loftier charm of manner and beanng, a lovelier winningness of character and con- duct into daily life. Morefascinating tban lucidity of intellect 1s crystalline trans- | parency of soul. To cheer the faint; to ease the irk and fret of the heavy-laden; to erase the wrinkles of the careworn, whet the spirits of the dull, refresh the jadded, lighten the load of the yoke-bound, snap the fetters of the captive and heal the broken-hearted—this is the mission and gladness of an ideal Christmas. *To work outinto practical life the vision of an ideal Christmas is not a holiday jaunt or a trick of elegant phrasing. A New Jerusalem on earth is not attained by a primrose path in silken slippers, but rather by steep, rough climbing and iron-shod sandals. Itis mot the easy going, lux- urious egotism that ripens tne sainthest ualities, Unless each one tries sincerely through infinite st uggle and- aspiration to incarnate the Christ-life iu everyday word and deed, the ideal Christmas will remain a kind of captivating but irides- cent dream. When Christ is fully loved and honored everywhere, then will come that goiden age of which prophet and poet have so long caught glimpses of en- chantment, when the angel song will blessedly dominate cot and palace, great and smail, Iyre and tripod, scalpel and scepter, mind and heart, and’ then 1o lon- | ger will an ideal Christmas be a mere hope | and fancy piciure, but a profound and | widespread reality.” AN HISTORIAN'S VIEW. Professor McMaster Taiks About the Monroe Doctrine. Professor John Bach McMaster of the University of Pennsylvania, the eminent historian, was asked by the Philadelphia Led_er for an expression of opinion on the Monroe doctrine as involved in the Vene- zuelan dispute. He said: “Mr. Cleveland’s message is timely and sound in every particular. The day bas come when the Monroe doctrine, which | can doctrine,” should either be enforced or abandoned. Lord Salisbury’s claim that the doctrine was for a particular time and a particular purpose is not tenable. Before Monroe wrote his message of De- cember, 1823, be sent to Jefferson the Canning-Rush correspondence, in which England requested the United States to join with her in a declaration that the Holy Allieg, who had just put down con- stitational government in Spain, should not be allowed to meddle in the affairs of the South American republics. In his answer Jefferson said: “The quostion pre- sented by the letters vou have sent me is the most momentous wirich has ever been offered to my contemvplation since that of independence. That made us a Nation, This sets our compass and points the course which we are to steer through the ocean of time opening on us.” T is the correct view. 1523, but for all time. It is applicable ‘io the state of things in which we live at the present day.” Morroe not only announced time. and makes anoiher application. The ap- plicatious are different, but the doctrine is the same. *‘[n 1848, when the case of Yucatan was discussed, Callioun, the only member of Monroe’s Cabinet of 1823 then living, de- nied this and asserted the view now taken by Lord Salisbury. He held that the first part of the doctrine related to the éonduct | of the Holy Allies and perished with the | events that called it forth, and that the second part, relating to interposition in the affairs of the South American repub- also belonged to the history of Mon- roe’s time. In this view he had but few followers. “When Great Britain did to us in the case of tiie Maine boundary what she is now doing to Venezuela we considered it an attempt to extend her system overa }mrt of our territory. We are bound, there- ore, to take the same view with regard to Venezuela. Sheis now doing to a part of Venezuela what, in 1823, we declared tiat Russia, Prussia, Austria, France and Spain should not be aliowed to do to all of Vene- zuela. “Mr. Olney’s view that the United States is practically sovereign on this continent, and that its fiat is law on the subject to which it relates is not sustained by our past record. Yet it must be remembered that we are the only people in America who would announce the Monroe doctrine, because we are the only one powerful enough 1o make such an announcement respectable. Mr. Olney is getting near the position of England in 1812, when she as- serted the right of search, the right of im- E“’”’ the right to lay paper blockades.

Yet she upheld them because she was soverei«n of the sea, and we fought her for so doing.” = e OLAD IN BLUE. How the Soldiers of Juarez Outfitted. There is a bit of history connected with the closing events of the ill-fated Maxi- milian dynasty, which has peculiar inter- est in the light of the present situation, and the telling of which timely. The empire in Mexico began to go to pieces from the time that Secretary Seward sent his famous note to Napoleon III, calling upon him in the name of the United States to withdraw French troops from Mexican soil. The United States had come out of tho civil war,and was in a position to declare the Monroe doctrine. ’Fhe French ruler complied. At that time the forces of Juarez were in the extreme north of Mex- ico. They had been driven all but out of the country, for which they were fighting, They had retreated from point to point. Encouraged by the intervention of the United Statesand the withdrawal of French troops, the army of Juarez started south- ward. ' Right here comes in the bit of his- tory which is especially interesting at this time. Itis given on the anthority of an | ex-officer of the United States army. When the civil war closed there were left at certain depots largze quantities of cloth- ing and other supplies for army use. In 1867 the civil war bad been over two years. In some way, never clearly explained, much of the left-over clothing and sup- plies had accumulated at the far-off depot of El Paso. An order was received from Were Washington to condemn this war material and sell it at auction. The order bore a daate very close to { that of Secretary Seward’s note to the French Emperor. It was carried out with | promptness. The ragged and ill-equipped | army of Juarez was in camp justacross the river. There was no market for the Amer- ican uniforms and equipment on the Amer- ican side of the river. In great lots the stores were knocked down to the only bid- | ders for next to nothing. The clothing and other supplies were hauled across the river, and the Mexican army was outfitted with what had been intended for the Un- ion armies. The new clothes were very acceptable to the Mexican army. “But,” says the ex-officer of the United States, ‘‘the material comfort afforded was nothing to the moral effect produced upon | the forces of Juarez and upon the enemy. | The Mexican republicans, clad in the blue of the United States, and wearing belts and carrying arms with *U. 8. conspicuousiy displayed, moved southward toward the Jity of Mexico, sweeping everything. Look- ing upon the army in blue theimperialists | felt that the United States had openly espoused the cause of the republic. They expected to see an American army follow- | ing the troops of Juarez and they became | hopeless. Perhaps the clothing of hisarmy { wilh the uniforms of the United States | was only a shrewd device of Juarez. Per- | haps the sale of the supplies at Kl Paso at | such a critical time for Mexican liberty { was_only an unintentional coincidence, ! but I have always believed that the aid | and comfort indirectiy given the cause of | the Mexican republic was as much a part ‘ of the application of the Monroe doctrine | as was the note of Mr., Seward.”’—St. Louis | Globe-Democrat. i’ A WELL-TRAINED RAT. | He Keeps the Housn Free of Mice and | Plays the Violin Fairly Well. i It is a well-known fact that rats and | mice do not infest a house at the same | time. Working upon this bint as to the | nature of rodents, N. K. Laureson of Vicks- | burg, Miss., has adopted a scheme by | which he keeps himself rid of both pests. | This he accomplishes by capturing a young rat and training him to catch mice. This | singular mouser, whose name, by the way, | is Czar, 1s doubtless the most successfu. one on record. He has been taught to | pounce upon a mouse on short order, with- | out fear and without favor, and he shows | no_mercy. | Of course he can follow the mice into close quarters and pever has been known | to lose his quarry. Strange to relate, large rats have ziven the house the go-by also, | sceming to understand that the place be- | | lon:s to the Czar, and that there must be | no encroachment upon his prerogative. | Laureson isvery fond of his queer pet, | and has taught him many interesting tricks. Among others, he has trained him | | to handle a bow, and with a miniature | violin Czar manages to ape the strings | | in a way that is not unmusical. Of course, | it has been impossible to teach him really | to play a piece, but sitting up on his bind i less, with his fiddle grasped in his tiny | | claws, Czar produces a sort of half-screech- | | ing sound that is altogether weird and fan- | tastic. Lauresop is himself a violinist-of | no mean order; and Czar likes nothing | better than to sit on his master's knee and listen to bis playing.—Pniladelphia Times. A GETTYSBURG TROPHY. It Is Restored to a Brother of a Dead Scldier. Watson Kenderdine of Lumberville,. Pa., has just come into possession of an album which was picked up by a Confed- | erate soldier on the battlefield of Gettys- burg, it having been sent to him by Charles W-ems, of Fannin, Miss. The | trophy was picked up by Jobn M. Haw- | thorne, a half-brother of Mr. Weems, who | belonged to the Eighteenth Mississippi | Regiment. | The album was probably lost by Robert | Kenderdine, a young school-teacher, who was mortally wounded during the attack of the Peach Orchard, July 2, 1863, He was a member of the One Hundred and Fourteentn Pennsylvaniz Regiment. In the album were found photographs | of his two brothers, Thaddeus and I-aiah | Kenderdine, and one of him-elf in zouave | uniform. The other pictures are of D. | Newlin Fell (now a Judge in this city). in the uniform of alieutenant, and of Wil- liam 8. Scofield a member of the same company as himself. The photograpis of the Iadies are of Emma A. Heed, Lizzie | Burton, Letitia Quinby, and two_of Sallie | B. Livezey of Shoemakertown, Montgom- ; ery County, Pa. The names of each were | neatly written at the bottom of each card. | The case is somewhat worn, and nas seen some exposure. Doubtless its owner had carried it throug. the fight at Chancellors- ville, and on the long march from there to | the Potomac, thence to Gettysburg, where | it was captured by a soldier from Missis- sippi and by him carried to his home.— | Philadelphia Inquirer. Eagay o ‘Why the Ministry Fell. The fall of the Spanish Ministry has been brought about by a municipal” scan- dal in Madrid. When the Marquis of Cabrinana asked the City Counca to pay bita for some land of his which the city had aporopriated he was asked in return what }m would pay to get his money voted him. He accepted delinite propositions irom several Councilmen and then exposed the whole affair in the press, An attempt was made to assassinate him and this aaded to_the popular indignation and to a aemand for the trial and punishment of these corrupt councilmen. But the latier brought their “pull” to bear upon the members of the Ministry and an impression having been formed that they were to be allowed to es- cape, the Eeople became so furious that turee members of the Cabinet had to step down and out. It is a far cry from New York to Madrid, but Tammany methods seem to flourish in Spanish councilmanic soil.—Philadelphia Inquirer. South Wales has a baunted coal m:ne. ‘This ghostly place is in the Morfa colliery, and it has n infested with restless spirits for about a week.

H. Dimond and Mrs. Joseph Tobin Were Seri- ously Hurt. MAY BE DISFIGURED FOR LIFE. Caused by a Collisien With a Hook- and-Ladder Truck—One Horse Killed. Mrs. W. H. Dimond, wife of General Di- mond, and her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Tobin, were the victims of a serious runa- way accident yesterday afternoon on Van Ness and Pacific . avenues. They were thrown from a carriage and sustained in- juries that, while not likely to result fatally, are of a character that will keep both confined to the house for many days. Mrs. Tobin was tiie more seriously hurt of the two,and the family fear that she will be permanently disfigured about the face. The accident happened about 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon and was caused by a col- lision between the carriage the ladies occu- pied and the hook-and-ladder vehicle of Truck Company 4, located at 1616 Pacific avenue. The ladies had been drivingin a carriage from the Koxhall stables. The carriage was drawn by two spirited horses driven by Harry Donnelly, who is connected with the stables. While driving along Pacific avenue, between Polk street and Van Ness avenue, the hook-and-ladder truck was approaching at right angles down Van Ness avenue. On the corner the two came into collision, and the carriage horses be- came unmanageable and sprang upon the sidewalk. Donnelly jumped from his seat and eudeavored to seize the horses’ bri- dles, but the irightened animals dashed past him and crossed the avenue diag- onally and ran upon the sidewalk on the north side of Pacitic avenue toward Frank- Iin street. Their fright 1ncreased as the light car- riage swung from side to side on the slip- pery stone sidewalk. The ladies were hela prisoners in_the closed vehicle, but their sereams could be distinctly heard by the few spectators who were near by and who saw that at some point in the proceeding the carriage pole had been broken and that a serious accident was inevitable. On the cerner of Franklin street the two horses attempted to pass on both sides ofa large telephone pole. In an instant, horses, carriage and ladies were thrown in- to a confused, struggling mass. A number of men rushed to the rescue and quickly extricated the unconscious ladies from the wreck. One of the horses was killed out- right and the vehicle was smashed to pieces. Kind hands at once removed Mrs. Di- mond and Mrs. Tobin to a residence near by and a physician was sent for. After they bad recovered consciousness they were sent in a carriage to the residence of General Dimond at 2222 Washington street. The family physician, Dr. Rosen- thal, was sent for. He found both iadies suffering severely not only from the shock but from cuts and bruises about the head, face and hands, probably caused by their baving been hurled b?' the shock against the woodwork and glass of the carriage. Mrs. Tobin was badly cut about the mouth and it is feared that this injury may dis- figure her for life. At a late hour the ladies were resting under the influence of a soothing draught. The accounts of how the accident hap- ened are conflicting. Donnelly, who was riving the carriage, stated that he puiled out to let the Fire Department wagon pass and that it was a second wagon—he be- lieved the hosecari—that struck the pole which snapped. Two young men seized the horses and the driver jumped from the box, but before he could get the horses by their heads they brokefaway and ran. Several members of truck 4 witnessed the accident and said that so far as Daniel Buckley, the driver of the hook and lad- der, was concerned, it was wholly unavoid- at Buckley stated that he wasout exer- cising the horses and at 3:28 p. M. an alarm was sounded from box 91. In response he drove rapidly along Van Ness avenue. The carriage drove up on the left side of Pacific avenue, instead of the right, which is the law in the right of way of the road. The two vehicles struck, and the carriage horses jumped uron the sidewalk. There two young men added to the animals’ fright by throwing up their hands and shouting. The driver of the carriage jumped to the ground and lost control of the {eam at once. At the Foxhall stables it is said that the horse that was killed on a telegraph pole was valued at NEW TO-DAY.
