HE birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of man, will be appro- priately commemorated with fit- ting ceremony and great rejolc- ing to-day by the.parishioners of Holy Cross Church, Eddy street, near Devisadero. A crib, marvel- Qus in its perfection, has been erected in tie "Sunday-school building, showing all the memorable scenes which surrounded the birth of Christ. Every detail of the manger in which the three kings who followed the star of Bethlehem first wor- shiped the divine infant has been faith- “fully reproduced. The stable, however, is not the only reproduction. In fact, the interior of the Sunday-school building has been transformed into a beautiful spectacle, representing many scenes ani | events assoclated with the early life of | Christ. g The crib has been constructed chiefly as an object lesson for the children of the parish. People, however, whose child- hood days have long since passed wiil also find enmjoyment and instruction in viewing this wonderful reproduction. It is entirely the work of Gulseppe Costanza, who as a boy learned the art of con- structing- the crib from his father, Co- mino Costanza, the famous artist who for years devised the cribs in St. Peter's Church in Rome. The work of construct- ing the cradle in which the child Jesus was born has made the Costanza family known throughout Europe. The plans were originally conceived by the father of Comino Costanza, who also had the honor of building the cribs in St. Peter's Church. Guiseppe Costanza has inherited all the skill of his father and grandfather. He assisted his father {n building one of the | / | | N 2 MARVELOUSLY CONSTRUCTED CRIB AT HOLY CROSS CHURCH SHOWING THE NATIVITY.

In his work in Holy Cross Church he has showed that he possesses the greatest skill. Those who are fa- miliar with biblical history and who have w seen the crib pronounce it perfect in every detail. Small dolls in costume are posed, in keeping with the historical scenes the¥ represent. In reproducing the work successfully Costanza brings into use water, which is made to run from the fountain in the square at Bethlehem. The river Jordan is also represented with running water, and flows with many turns among the miniature hills. Among the many scenes represented is that of the three wise men astride their camels faithfully following the guidance of the star of Bethlehem; an angel awak- ening the good shepherd, who s su rounded by his flock of sheep upon a hill- | side; the destruction/of the innocent littla children; a scene in the city of Bethle. hem, with the people excitedly telling their neighbors the news of the birth of the new King and journeying to tho stable laden with gifts. This is the first reproduction on a large scale of a thing of this kind in this city, and a great deal of Interest is being shown i it. ; LONDON, Dec. 24—Willlam Waldorf Astor has ziven $250,000 to bulld a new out-patient department for the hospital for sick childrsn in Great Ormond street.

N. Orlow yesterday afternoon at his spacious home, 340 Clay street, with the result that gifts from ten Christmas trees were unloaded into eager hands. The invitation, a general one to all who would not have Santa Claus at home, was responded to by all crasses of little folks, chaperoned by their mothers or friends. In order that nome in poor cir- cumstances should remain away the host offered to pay all carfares if notifiled and in consequence two of his representatives were kept continually busy for two days distributing dimes at various addresses where the need was expressed. From the crush at the festivities it would seem that none who knew of the invitation had re- | malned away. Decorations in keeping with Yuletide were arranged in every avallable place. In the lecture hall on the lower floor, where the presents were distributed, a fountain and waterfall was speclally built, having a background of ferns and other follage, where the children found much amusement. A score of young men and women assisted In dispensing the good things and the children, with radiant faces, blew upon trumpets, stroked toy animals and munched candy mice, oranges, apples, candy and minjature elephants. Many were fitted to shoes and clothing of all kinds and were sent away, happy to make room for more. BOYS SING ANTHEMS. Christmas anthems were rendered by a choir of fifteen boys, who volunteered their services. Children from the Japan- ese and Chinese missions sang their na- tional songs and Rev. J. Tzumida tramns- lated the national Japanese hymn. The philanthropist moved about among, his little guests, extending the most cordial hospitality and placing the timid ones quite at their ease. A midnight Christmas service was held last night at Dr. Orlow’s lecture hail to commemorate the birth of Christ and the ceremonial®was beautiful and impressive. The attendance was large. The platform was elaborately decorated with giant ferns, palms and lilles of the valley, m- terspersed with rich Oriental touches of beauty. Promptly upon the stroke of I2 | beautiful chimes ushered in the Christ- | mas morning, fcllowed by an organ vel- untary, ably rendered by Charles Ried- linger. Miss Yslas sang the ‘‘Adeste Fideles,” with accompaniment of organ, piano and violin. Miss Yeape preceded the talk by singing Mohr's German Christmas song, “Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht.” Dr. Orlow spoke simply, stating that the birth of the babe of Bethlehem sig- nified the supreme beauty of fatherhoud and motherhood and the promise that ex- ists In every child to become a savior of the world. The speaker emphasized the necessity of leading simple, earnest lives, believing in nothing that was mys- terlous or opposed to the simplest ways of thinking and living and pointed out the necessity of practicing what one preaches. He added that there is a fun- damental truth in all religions and that the individual must decide for himseif what relationship there must be betweem himself and his God. MYSTERIOUS CEREMONY. In accordance with a custom peculiar , to his eastern philosophy Dr. Orlow om this occasion added the ceremony of taking four full roses, signifying spiritual truth of the physical kingdom, placing each toward the four different points of | the compass, and in the name of universal | truth asking the birth of thoughts of | peace, harmony and good will in all parts | of the earth. The programme was completed by Miss Eaton's splendid rendition of the inter- mezzo from ‘“Cavalleria Rusticana” and Miss Christine La Barraque’s singing of Gounod's “Ave Maria,” which was ad- mirably suited to her dramatic soprano i voice. Miss Eaton rendered Mascheroni's | | “Invocation,” followed by the general hymn, ‘“Realization.” ‘At the end of the ceremonial the speaker asked the blessing upon all religions of the world. CHORISTERS SING CAROLS. Visit Downtown Hotels and Enter- tain Guests With Melodies. The little choristers of the Cathedral Mission choir, as usual on every Chgist- mas eve, visited a number of the hotels last night and delighted the guests with their singing of carols. The first place | visited was the Palace Hotel, where fully 500 people had assembled to hear the sing- ing. The lifle boys started with the old hymn “O, Come All Ye Faithful,” which was beautifully rendered. This was fol- lowed with the “Carol for Christmas Eve,” “God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen™ and many others. During the singing of the carols a few of the boys eirculated in the crowd passing the hat, and every- body regponded generously to the appeal. From the Palace the choir boys were conveyed in 'buses and hacks to a num- ber of the hotels.
