singers invited to join this successful society.
The Symphony Orchestra is making rapid prog
ress under their director Edwin G. Clarke, and
work on the programme for the concert on Jan.
6 is rapidly approaching completion, the re-
hearsals being always fully attended. The
spirit in which the movement by Prof. Clarke
and his sons is met is of the proper kind, as each
member feels it a privilege to be one of the or
chestra, and to have an opportunity for studying
fine music under an experienced and eXacting
conductor. The rehearsals will continue through
the holidays without postponement
One of the best features of music in Indian
apolis is the great organ at Plymouth Church,
This instrument was planned and built for the
organist William II. Clarke, and is one of the
largest in the United States. AS most of the
public is unfamiliar with this great acquisition
and have not had an opportunity for hearing it.
Prof. Clarke will begin series of Saturday after
noon recitals, the first next Saturday, at
O'Clock, which cannot fail to become very pop
ular. The music will be selected to please the
general public, with classic compositions oc-
easionally inserted. The programme for next
Saturday will include the Christmas Offertoire,
by Lefebvre Wely, trio for two manuals and
pedals by Bach; ''Tr@umerei," by Schumann;
Wedding March," by Mendelssohn; Christmas
pastorals, by Handel and Corelli; overture to
'"Tancredi,' by Rossini, with probably vocal Sc
lections. During the Sunday services to-day
Professor Clarke will play the following selec-
tions Recessional march, by Holman; offer
toire in +, with air reigeuse, varied by Lefebvre
Wely. In the evening the selections will be-
Offertoire of the feast of Penteeest, by c. Col
lin, and professional march in A, by Collin.

CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO.

Christmas day is celebrated in a quiet way in
our neighboring Republic Mexico. Nothing of
the boisterous joviality of the American day is
apparent. except in localities where there are
many Americans. Gifts from friend to friend
arerarely interchanged. The servants often get
their aguinaldo, Christmas present, but even
this custom is not general. Hearty and happy
as is the Mexican's Christmas, it is enjoyed
more as a religious festival than as feast.
Every feature is to do honor to their faith.
In these devotions, as in all others in that
country, women delight to bear the burden.
Worship is the dominant impulse OF these shy,
cautious and often beautiful creatures. Their
whole lives would be mystery to our Amer
lean girls, for they know little Of the uncon-
ventional freedom our women enjoy.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

The possibilities Of a Christmas tree that will
bear fruit in the shape of presents for all the
family, and stockings running over with sur
prises for little folk are many, even under the
most adverse of circumstances, and whenever
it is possible to have the tree it should never
be neglected. 1t gives the little ones great
comfort. A few suggestions for rendering
these possibilities certainties, it is trusted may
assist households in meeting the natural de-
mand of the young people for gala day.
Provide an evergreen tree of suitable size
and shape and place it in room not to be used
until Christmas Day. The tree may be held
firmly in place by planting it in hole boredin
a heavy and square block of wood. If the tree
be small set upon table. If of large size
make rude platform of suitable height and
place it ON that. Cover the table or platform
with green baize, or better STILL let the chill
dren gather moses and ichens and cover with
these. When wax tapers cannot be INDUCED
in substitute ordinary lanterns covered with
gay-colored flannel. Hang these on the tree
where they will produce the best effect and
make festoons of popcorn strung on threads,
from which suspend popcorn balls. The effect
of the gay lights and the white popcorn among
the green of the tree will prove pleasing
sight to the little folk. The tree is now ready
to receive its burden and all articles to be
placed on it should be given over to the charge
of one person to insure pleasant surprises.

A PLEASANT SIGHT.

Among the blessed observances and customs
Of Christmas-time, that of gathering the mem
bers of the family together is not the least
benefcent. To draw together the ties of kin
bred ON one day, at least, of the year-to re-
knit the family bonds, to revive the sanctities
Of mother and child, and reunite other diverg-
ing relationships-is surely one of the most fit
ting modes of concentrating the advent of
One who, though He came on His heavenly
Fathers business, and invited, as He still in
vites, all men to become His brethren, was
none the less dutiful and loving to HIS earthly
parents and relatives.
What more beautiful sight can he imagined
than that of family of three generations, af-
fectionately assembled on the morning of the
ballowed day, and entering their village church
together-honest country folk mindful of the
sacred meaning Of Christmas, in thus making
attendance at the appointed religious service a
prelude to the homely enjoyment and festive
merrymaking they will afterward share. In
their Sunday and holiday best they reverently
enter the church porch after the walk from a
neighboring farmstead. The little procession
is headed by the grandfather and grandmother
"a happy touch Of reverence for age charac-
tsristic Of true filial piety. But before these
toddles the youngest member Of the family
the representative of the third generation.
How charming is this mystery of love between
the youngest and the oldest-this meeting of
extremes! 1t strengthens the chain, so to
speak, that unites our race in one, lest link
should be dropped out; chain stretching
back through countless past generations, but
winch. for near two thousand years, has been
cansecrated by the sentiments Of the Christ

The Star Route Scandal.

SUBPOENA FROM THE SPRINGER COMMITTEE FOR
JOHN A. WALSH.
1t was understood at the Capitol to-day that
subpoena had been sent to New York for John A.
Walsh, summoning him to appear before the
Springer committee, and tell all he knows about the
so-caled star route conspiracy in all It's phases.
special officer has been sent for Walsh, and every
effort will be made to get him here.
SENATOR VESTS NAME NOT ON THE PETITIos.
Senator Vest said to-day that since yesterday be
had examined the report Of the Blackburn investi-
CATION into star route matters and had discovered
that his Vests) name did not appear upon any Of
the petitions or Recommendations for the routes
mentioned in the recent publication OF the New
York Sun. Mr.. Vest said he found other Senator's
names appended to those documents, and no doubt,
his would have been, too, had he been asked to sign
them. The entire absence OF his signature from
any OF the documents sat1fes Senator Vest that it
was malice on the part OF some one that prompted
the publication OF his name
WHAT THEY SAY AT THE p O. DEPARTMENT ABOUT
TIE n. Y. Sun PUBLICATION.
The Post Ofice department officials state that
the papers recently transmitted to the House In
regard to the star route contracts do not contain
the facts as given In the New York sun article
They be ieve that these papers transmitted to
the government printing Office without having
been tampered with, and when the printed copies
are received it Will be seen that the material for
this article was not derived from these papers The
papers were the reports OF inspectors who were
sent out to inspect certain star routes. They re-
ported as 10 the cohdltion OF the service the char
acter OF the route, and the equipment employed by
the contractors. This information Was compared
with the statement OF contractors as to the equip
ment needed by them and in some cases shows
some startling discrepancies
The objection on the part OF the department to
making these papers public was that in this way
the contractors could obtain the names OF those
who would be called as witnesses against them In
the event OF the government bringing any of the
cases to trial Such witnesses would probably be
induced to leave The country.
The inference Is made that the facts mentioned
in the Sn article, While not contained in this batch
OF papers, Is embodied In others which were in
cluded in the list called for by the House The
knowledge OF the contents OF such papers could
only be obtained by persons employed by the gov
ernment especially in the star route cases, and it is
believed that an investigation Will demonstrate
that fact.
