A CHRISTMAS GIFT swINDLE.
Some Little Boys PersOnate NIessen

Some Little Boys Personate Messen-
 gers And Fry to Beat a Hotel.
 CHICAGO, H., Dec. 27.-The panicky runs like milk sensations when compared with the 'run" instituted against the cash box of one of the leading hotels here the day before Christmes. It has been the custom of the caravansary management to present all tele- graph and district messengers with cash gift of fifty cents on Christmas. This year some bold and inventive finaneirr in the ranks conceived the idea of collusive part ne1ship with the messenger boys for & little raid on the hotels coffers. It would be strange if among so many lads there were not one or two who could be corrupted with promise of pecu- niary gains. The plan agreed upon was that these dishonest messengers should loan the outside operators the use of their certificates and as much of their regulation uniform as would confirm identification at the window of the hotel cashier.
 These transfers of caps and certificates took place in rear of one of the buildings of the neighborhood. The cashier cashed every certificate that was presented and doubtless would have disbursed to the end of the run" or busted" the vaults had it not been for the chance appearance outside of the counter of one of the proprietors, who was startled by the panicky look of things. He ordered the cashiers to suspend payment pending an investigation. A little detective work exposed the whole plan. Tho financial managers of the raid were found in an alley. Fresh recruits were arriving from the juve nile colonies in the Blue Island avenue dis trict. When the young scamps were detect ed and dispersed the cashier resumed pay ment on doublY indorsed ceItificatus.

ed serious proportions. In this he was unsuccessful, every minute the wind increased in velocity and snow descended in such blinding squalls as to make it impossi- b1e for tle shore lights to be seen. As the wind increased the ssa foss and swept clean over the steamer After beating around for several hours without making land the ship refused to obey the rudder and the captain was obliged to put about. In doing so the steamer got into the trough of the sea and began drifting toward land and drifted SO close that the light on Point Prince could be seen. Everyone on board expected that the steamer would be dashed on the rocks, but happily this was averted. Af- ter steaming for over an hour she got head way and the captain ran for St. John, reach ing this port at midnight. The steamer was one mass of ice. Several of the passengers were imprisoned for over sixteen hours, the heavy sess which swept over the vessel making it impossible for them to. communicate wite other persons on board Then expefieneh was something frightful as every momeS they expected the steamer would founder.

 A STEAMERS FEARFUL PERIL. PIungins Through Mad Seas With n

 ST. JOHN, N. B., Dec. 27.-The heaviest storm of the season began on Saturday after noon and ragged with fearful violence until after midnight. The wind at times attained & velocity of sixty miles an hour About six inches of snow fell which piled into drifts five and six feet high around the city. The seats were running mountains high. T e storm was particularly severe on the Nova Scotia coast and it is feared seri- ous disasters to shipping have occurred The steamer Secret, which left this port on Saturday for Digby, experienced the full force of the gale. She had scarcely reached Midboy when the storm struck her. The captain kept on, expecting to reach Digby before the storm had assun-

 On Congress Avenue-Eleven Of The

 The saying of Bret Harte that "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the heather Chinee are peculiar" found its full veriication last evening when the police, -un- der the direction of Officer Ben Jackson, made raid on one of their gambling dens at No F Congress avenue. The place is sort of addition to the building on the corner of Congress avenue and George street in which French's coal office is located, and is in the basement of the addition, while on the floor above is Chinese laundry. The police were distributed about the building so that there was no chance for escape, and then Officer Jackson and one two others went to the door and rapped. The door was opened and the police jumped quickly inside. No sooner did the 'tblue coats' make their ap- pearance than the Chinamen made a break for liberty. They were seated around a long table and when the police came in they disappeared like so many rats. They turned back somersaults over the chairs and hid under he tables and beds, went through little trap doors, and all so quietly that it

CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,

The pulpit of this church was tastefully decorated with evergreens, while a beautiful cross of the same stood on the table in front, 8 star was in the east above the preacher and holly leaves and berries were in the vases near. Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford preached a Christmas sermon from the text, fUnto us & child is born," and the whole service was in honor of the s'Christ child"
 In the evening the Sunday school held one of it's popular concerts at the Church of the Holy Spirit under the direction of the super intendent, Miss Ellen E. Miles. The recita- tions and singing were all of Christian character, and the marvel is how it is possi- ble to train children of such tender years to recite so correctly and promptly.
 Among the many pleasing features or the evening was solo finely rendered by Miss Ida ell, who was accompanied by Miss Cora Lamb on the violin and Mrs. Law on the organ Beth Drew's recitation, "A Christmas Secret" written by Dr. Lucy M Creamer of this city, deserves special notice. The songs were sung in 8 spirited manner and both teachers and parents have reason to feel we'll satisfied with the interest mani fested in this department of Christian effort
 On Tuesday evening the Sunday school will hold their annual supper and festival at the church parlors, when the Christmas tree will appear and the exercises will be in keep ing with the season of peace, joy and good will

 Interesting Services Appropriate to
 Christmas Beautiful Decorations-
 Special Features of the Day in the
 City.
 &t Calvary Baptist church yesterday morn ing thefs were appropriate Christmas ser vices which were of an ezceodingly interest ing character. The church was decked with evergreens and presented very beautiful ap- pearance. The decorations were principally in and about the church, where they were very profHss end very artistically arranged. A large star to represent tfis Star of Bethle- hem, crown, and number of evergreen wreaths, also white dove over the front, were conspicuous features of the decorations. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Samson, preached very interesting sermon appffoptiate to the day and occasion It was in reference to the visit of the Magi to the cradle at Bet -lehem. The biblical narrative of the event was re- hearsed with illuminating historical sur roundings pertaining to thosG tennes and that epoch in the worlds history. The harmony of science with revealed truth was urged. Science and religion were not at war, but we're friends, and the church had no foe in true and reliable scientific research. The speaker in conclusion said; The honest doubter who sees no light, no hope offered elsewhere but in Christ, and who is willing to believe, can have his doubts removed by coming with the trust of child to the Say four of the world; and he would find ill Christ the joy the world knows not of.
 The Sunday school sat in the galleries and well sang several selections. The singing by the choir both morning and evening was ex- ceedingly fine, and rendered in manner worthy the choir's high reputation.
