resident faculty and students of the Theo-

the visitors moved through the library to the
dining room, where an elaborate collation. was
served: thence by rear stairway to the second
floor. after inspecting which they returned by
the main stairway to the front hall. The
furnishing of the house is quite in keeping
with its beautiful design, and 1t is altogether
one of the prettiest homes in our city. After
enjoying the evening with that true zest, which
is characteristic of the college student, all
cially joyful Christmas season in his new
home, said ''good night" and wended their
way once more to college halls.

ORNAMENTAL THINGS.

Under the heading of Ornamental Presents
DOLLS take the right of the line. Baby
Dolls always have held and always will hold
the warmest place in the little girls afec-
tions Our importations of the pretty pleasure
makers are enormous, and are as beautiful as
they are large, and so everlasting CHEAP
compared with prevalent prices, that we
expect to Doll all the children in Westminster
this Christmas. Our prices for Dolls are only
one half the regular prices of the trade. The
same may be said of the myriads of other
Toys to be found in our Xmas exhibits. What
for the boy? A doll won't do him. He must
have Cart, Fire Engine. Veloeipede, an
Express Wagon, Gun, or some such exciting
thing, that'll make no end of noise and no
little mischief We've RATS of all such stuff.
Drums, Musical Toys, Musical Horns, in fact
everything in the TOY world. No use in
wasting time looking anywhere else for
presents for the children. Come right to us.
What we have not got isn't worth having.
Never saw such a panorama of pretty things,
and the price you hardly miss.

NEW YORK, Nov. GA Boston dis
patch to the Times says: 1.-THE cause
of the fire may be ascribed to the
crossing of the Boston Time
Company's wires with the lin IS
OF one of the electric light
company's; so far as can be learned,
all the clocks run by the Time COM
pany, stopped at 6:48 yesterday morn
ing. The office of the company is in
a granite building, in which the fire
started A contact of an cleo
trio light with the wires of
the Time company would cause
current, which, according to
experts would be much too strong for
the company's wires to bear. or
course the result would be the burn
ing out of the cOmpany's wires. AT
the city hall the clock in the city
messengers office stopped at 6:48.
Telephone switchb board was burned
out and the wire connecting with the
police headquarters had. melted.
The telephone linemen established
connections in short time. The dis
trict telegraph linemen arrived and
after vain endeavOr to find the cause
Of an open circuit, they took down
the electric clock when it was discov-
cred that the wires connecting with
the clock were burned completely
away and that the interior of the
clock, as well as the part of the wall
against which it was placed, was
scorched and charred. Nothing but
the merest accident had saved the
city hall.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 20.-Jeff
c. McKenny, one of the leading GRIM
inal lawyers milwaukee, and known
all over Wisconsin, is lying at home
with his face beaten into pulp, and
suffering from other injuries that may
result in his death at any time. The
case is mysterious, and the entire po-
lice force Of the city is at work trying
to run down McKenny's brutal assail-
ants. McKenny was found on Broad
way, near Michigan street, in the
business center of the city, ats O'Clock
Monday morning, and has not yet
recovered consciousness. He was
last seen in a saloon in the Opera
House building where a performance
was being given on the night in ques-
ton. His wounds were made eth er
by bludgeon, brass knuckles or the
heavily shod feet of one or more
assailants. McKenny, like any GRIM
inal lawyer of his prominence, has
made many enemies during his
long practice, but the police are un-
able to find that there is any one
among his known enemies W HON they
can suspect of having so brutality at
tackled him.

A MOTHERS LOVE.


Written for the LIGHT.
A father looks upon his boy with
pride,
With prospect bright the future
lures his joy
And admiration. His intellect he
prunes,
And with his own strong arm he
leads him up
The rugged hill to manhood-gives
the world
His second self, a noble scion, and
then,
In quiet content, he halls the sweeter
calm
OF life's adieu.
Disease, ere long. lays its
Destructive hands upon that boy, and
The fathers pride is languishing be-
fore
His eyes. Distraught, he wrings his
hands and calls
For help. But one Is by his side
whose touch
Is gentle, and whose words are balm
and cure
For every pain. 1t is his mother.
She,
With patience rare. untiring watch
doth keep,
Than stars more true. Vanquished,
tine foe doth yield,
And back to life and health she
hands her charge.
This something is of mothers love.
At length
Dlshonor and disgrace are stamped
His brow. Oh! where's that doting
father; Lo!
Indignant now, he spurns his flesh
and blood,
And proudly walks the world alone
and childless.
Behold the fathers pride! forsaken
Cast off! Neglected! the lowest of the
lowi
Yet not alone is he; his mothers there
She who pillowed his head upon her
breast
In infancy-yes, she who sat beside
His couch in childhood's day, when
fever burned
Upon his cheek, and vigils kept when
stars
Had paled upon the mornings sun
lit sky;
Thus low her love will follow DER her
child,
To do and dare for him she's ready
ever,
Although the world deride. Beside
him there,
(Oh! scene sublime0 she kneels, and
in her prayer
Her darling still he is. His prison
bars
She storms, and pleads. and crushing
back her pride.
She bows herself before his keepers
stern,
And there in eloquence his pardon
begs.
Why such humility? She is mother.
He is her child! No duty will she
shirk.
Brook no denial. No depths 20 deep,
no heights
Too high; her love immensely would
try.
Distance she'd traverse with intuition
Heaven-born, tracing her own. Old
ocean watts
No lullaby so sweet as mothers words.
The winds no language whisper halr
so pure.
The brightest flower boasts no fade
less bloom:
And yet mothers love endures for
ever.
No cruelty, or absence, or frowning
horde
OF ills can break this tie of adamant.
A mothers love is earth's one plant
from Heaven.
