The Christmas tree and concert, held at
the church, Thursday evening. under the
auspices of the Willing Workers. were
success. The tree was arranged very
Hastily, and was a change from what We
had usually had. In the centre and on the
highest platform was wigwam made of
evergreen, and on either side were small
trees. This little tent was covered inside
. and out with presents so were also the
trees, besides lines and tables that had to
be used. There were many valuable pres
ents. Among them was one worthy of
mention, a purse of Sll5,00 to Mr.. and
Mrs. Moses Chick, from their many friends
both at home and abroad. Mr. Chick in
accepting the gift, made some very appro-
pirate remarks, and extended thanks to all
who had been SO kind to him and his
companion in her sickness.

There was a Christmas tree in the S. s.

two cents. Clam chowder was provided

spiral and othor vegetable cells. In
addition l observed number of micro
organisms such as are found both In
the large and the small intestine. On
inquiring with regard to the part of
the intestinal tract that had been
opened, | was informed that it was
the large intestine; but the records of
the pOst-mortem examination were not
in the hands of my associates. Not
withStanding this statement and gem
eral impression that the specimens rep
resented blood mixed with
faces, formed and ex-
planned to DIR. Edison and DIR.
Formal decided the opinion that the
blood was mixed with the contents of
the lower part of the ileum, Nv
grounds for this opinion were the pres
ence OF tyrOsine and bilirubin, which
do not exist in the normal faces, and
incidentally the presence of few very
slightly altered muscular fibres, such
as probably would not be found in the
large intestines. After REORGANIZATION
of the specimens and consultation, we
all agreed that the matters mixed with
the blood came from the small intes-
tines; and record Of the autopsy, re-
ceived later, showed that a portion of
the lower part OF the ileum had been
cut out, the large intestine being unin-
jured.
DR.. Flint says that the conclusion to
his mind is inevitable that the matters
mixed with the blood in the specimens
which he examined were practically
Identical and came from the ileum.

the condition that her identity should
never be revealed would Miss Williams
consent 70 have her likeness indeliby
stamped upon the hearts of the people
for it is said the dollar is nearest the
average American heart. But it was i'm
possible to keep the secret long, and

The story that the engraver had put
SO much of his own soul into the work

that the romance ended as 1T always

HERE Is MISS LIBERTY.
The Woman Whose Profile Is on the

Philadelphia Record.
Philadelphians familiar with the story
of "MiSS Liberty" as they term the
young lady whose profile was taken as
the model for the Goddess upon the
silver dollar, read with surprise yester-
day that the picture represents the
features of a once living, breathing,
beautiful American woman"
That "Miss Liberty" is beautiful no
one would deny, but the imputation
that she is no longer in the flesh all her
friends were ready to deny.
The young lady is Miss Anna w. Will
liamS, teacher of kindergarten philo-
sophy in the Girls Normal School,
Seventeenth and Spring Garden streets.
At the time Miss Williams classic fea-
lures attracted the attention Of the
Mint engraver she was principal OF the
girls school at the House of Refuge.
Her profile was then considered to
be the most perfect of any wo-
man in Philadelphia. 1t was with
great difficulty, however, that
she was prevailed upon to
