Christmas Times.
In all parts of this country and En-
gland Christmas is observed by all peo-
pie as a social holiday, and by many in
it's religious aspects. In all parts of
Christendom the 25th of December is
celebrated in honoring the birth of
Christ, although the exact day, and even
year, is unknown. The day is 80 called be-
cause special mass, the Mass ofChrist,"
is celebrated in the Catholic church.
The observance of this day is ascribed
to Julius, Bishop of Rome, A. D. 33S-352.
Among the cases that operated in fixing
the 25th of December as the day to be
celebrated, the most powerful one was
that heather nation regarding the
winter solicity as the beginning of the
renewed life and activity of the powers
of nature The Romans, from the oldest
times, celebrated the season with great
feasts. The Germans held their Yule
feast, and believed that during the
twelve nights reaching from the 25th Of
December to the 9th OF January they
could trace the personal movements of
tt great deities. 1t is an ancient GUS
tom at Norton, England, on the 18th of
December innocent Day. to ring muf-
fled peal in token of sorrow for the
slaughter of the helpless "babies of
Bethlehem" and Immediately, an I'M
muffled peal, in Joy for the escape of the
infant Saviour.

A FEW weeks since we stated In this COL
umns that the passenger fares on Eastern
railroads were as low IS one and two cents
per mile. We were taken TO task for this by
Appointment railroad man OF this city, who
asserted that three cents was the ordinary
fare. The following news item, which we
clip from the last number Of the New York
Nation, shows our statement TO be correct :
cat midnight on Sunday orders were issued
from -the Offices Of the general passenger
agents Of the New York Central and West
Shore railroads directing the local ticket
agents on those roads TO discontinue the sale
Of the cent-a.mils tickets TO all points east
of Utica on the Central, and to Oneida Cas-
tie on the West Shore road also TO advance
the local rates TO two cents mile between
New York City and those points," II 10
probably that roads east Of New York and
perhaps some Of the roads In that State still
continue the cent-a,miie rate. That 1t has
largely increased the amount Of travel can
hardly be denied, and the increase OF rates
on the Central and West Shore 10 only made
because those roads by their recent combin.
alton have secured . monopoly. But mo-
nopolies are odious, and such action will
only result In breeding trouble for them
selves Missoalidn.

EXECUTION OF PRESTAN.
The Rebel Leader Hanged on the Isthmus Of
Panama.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Spanish COL
umns Of the Panama Star and Herald of
August 10th contain a report Of the proceed
ings of the court martial that met on the
17th inst. to try Pedro Prestan, who since
has been executed. Four witnesses were
brought before the court and declared that
Prestan was the principal author of the de.
struction Of Colon on the 31st of March last.
These were Juan Beltramo Gan Italian),
Clement Dupuy, Acting Superintendent of
the Panama railway; Hugh Deiterich, Ger
man) and William Conner, agent Of the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company in Colon.
These four gentlemen, after having given
their evidence against Prestan, were con-
fronted with him. Their different declara-
tions show tina. Prestsn was the author Of
the fire In Colon, and although be strongly
denied all the charges made against him,
actually naming the persons who could tes-
tify as to his innocence, he nevertheless did
not lay the blame on any other person, nor
did he say his followers had not committed
the crime. The chairman of the court mar
tial ordered the witnesses named by Prestan
to be brought into court, so that they should
make their statement. After the lapse of an
hour the court was informed that none of
the persons named by Pres,an could be
found on the isthmus; that they had left
after the burning of Colon. In view of this,
and as the witnesses all agreed on the point
that Prestan was the author Of the fire, the
court, after having heard the prisoners de-
Tense, ordered the room to be cleared and
then deliberated as to the sentence they
should pronounce. All the votes but one
were for hanging Prestan at once, and the
death warrant was signed. The prisoner
was called in and he was informed Of his
sentence. He heard the sentence read with
great composure. Up TO his last moment
Re had priest by his side.
When upon the scaffold Prestan spoke q
few words, calling upon the Colombians to
believe him innocent of such an atrocious
crime. Notwithstanding all his repeated
protests Of innocence, there was but one
VOICES unanimous approval of the justice
Of his sentence. The car was removed from
under his feet and the body left 10 swing on
the scaffold. Prestan was banged soon after
midday on the 18th ult. The sentence was
signed at 7:30 p. m. on the evening of the
18th inst, and was unanimously approved.
Tue execution was witnessed by an immense
crowd Of all colors and nationslities, the
greater part Of which probably never wit
messed such scene before. Death seems to
have been instantaneous, as no show of life
was apparent three minutes after dropping.

THE CAROLINES.

Away round in the North Pacific Ocean,
south Of Japan, and on about the same de-
gree Of longitude as the city Of Toxic, is .
cluster Of islands known Is the Carolines.
They lie north Of New Guinea and south Of
the Ladrones--the piratical, cannibal isles
OF the sea that furnished the bearded bucca-
neers and man-eaters who illuminated with
blood and fire and roast missionary, the
toothsome romances of the sea, thirty or
forty, or fifty years ago. They are . scat.
tered lot Of islands, some 900 or 600 In all,
sprinkled In the sea 500 miles north and
south, and 800 east and west, and are known
As the Eastern, Western and Central groups
zap 10 the principal island of the Central
group; and Is only about ten miles long, but
the people, Of the Malay race, are somewhat
cultivated, build good boats, lay out their
villages regularly, pave their streets, build
stone piers and wharves, and cultivate the
soil, where the betel nut, bread fruit, sugar
cane, cocoa nuts, oranges aud bananas grow
luxuriantly on fertile soil. The Carolines
were discovered by Alvon de Saavedra 10
1928; in 1879 Drake discovered the Western
group, and In 1885 Admiral Lazeano discov-
cred another group and named them the
Carolines In honor of Charles ii of Spain.
At Ascension Island, the chief rendezvous
for sailors, there Is an American colony, and
there has been an American mission there
since 1851. The total population of all the
islands is only some 200, 600. And as Spain
has had them by right of discovery over
three hundred and fifty years without assert
Ing any special sovereignty, or the same be.
ing contested by any other power until the
present, 1t follows logically that they are not
considered very glittering gems in the crown
Of Empire. However, Germany which appears
to be getting the English idea Of outlying
provinces, and wants . naval station In the
Eastern sea, has recently seized zap, the
principal island Of the Archipelago, and
Spain will not have It that way. A great
hubbub has been kicked up in Madrid and
Berlin about the matter, but as the island
In question Is . third Of the way round the
world from The contesting Nations, and does
not amount TO much anyhow, they will have
time to cool of between heats. But politi.
clans and papers will fume and fret while
the gunboats are
