CHRISTMAS APHoRlSMS.

Pope Telesphorus, who died before the
middle of the Second century, deserved
canonizing, if for nothing else, for ms IT,
tuting Christmas as u festival. 1t has
been celebrated ever since in all Chris
tan lands, and has given more happi-
ness to children than any day in the
calendar. Making children happy is
the essence of Christianity.
OF late years, Christmas has become
far more domestic and merrymaking
holiday than religious one. But it is
religious in the best sense, since it is n
day of peace and rest, and opens the
heart to human needs and human sym
pathies
The most satisfactory way to observe
Christmas is to do at least one good act
to some of our fellows. The conscious
ness of doing such an act will inspire us
to do others, and so sanctify the day as
to make it ever welcome.
Christmas is always associated with
the good Jesus who, whether regarded
as God or man, was the purest, kindest,
noblest being that has walked the earth.
He has inspired love in saint and sinner,
in devotee and skeptic alike. Men may
wrangle about creeds; but about Jesus
and his beautiful life there can hardly
be any difference of opinion, for he pited
all who suffered and strove to heal every
aching heart,
Christmas has gradually evolved ont
of its theology and has come to stand fol
Il festival of love. Therefore all men
loveit, for throughout the universe love
is born of love and is worshiped for its
own sake
A clear conscience furnishes the best
digestion for Christmas dinner.
Christmas is a day to form good reso-
lutions. 1t is easier to form them on
that or any other day than to keep
them for single month.
No conscientious person can enjoy his
Christmas dinner if he knows anybody
else within reach to be hungry. The
consciousness that we have given food
to the needy provides us with the finest
appetite.
Christmas was formed, i'll the era OF
theology, from Christ and mass. In
these practical and luxurious days il
might signify that we should try to i'm.
itate Christ in dealing with the mass OF
mankind, who are usually more or less
unfortunate. BY so dealing with them
we should make all days Christmas days
1t is better to be Christmas turkey
on the table than Christmas goose at
the table. JUNIUs HENRI BROWNE.

Bardsley,s Arrest.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 24.-Nothing new developed to-day that would serve to throw light on what has become of the m l. lion of money that Treasurer Bardsley says he deposited in the Keystone Bank and which Examiner Drew and Receiver Yardley say there is no record of on the banks books, The two questions that ex- cited the greatest interest today were, Will Bardsey be well enough to appear at the hearing of his case to morrow, and what has become of the fugitive Marsh! There is no doubt but that Mir Bardsley is very sick man, the terrible strain which he has been under having left him com pletely prostrated The S39 00o which Mir. Bardsley is accused of misappropriating, it seems, does not belong to the city at all. It is said that the money was retained by Mr Bardsley on warrants of highway con- tractors as a guarantee of tue faithful full hllment of their work If when the case is given a hearing MT Barisley can prove, which from present indications he can, that he paid over the money to contrac- tors, tte city authorities will be placed in the embarrassing position of having hauled into court on criminal charge q man whom as yet they have no evidence against to warrant such a charge.

The Behring Sea Middle

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25.-The con- plications arising out of the Behriug Sea question which has for some time been the subject of dplom atic correspondence be- tween the United States aad Great Britain are apparently as far from settlement to, day as ever. The Rush is awaiting her hnal instructions at San Francisco ana i. ready to sail at a moments notice. The Government agents, Maj. Williams and J. Stanley Brown. are aboard the Rush ready to proceed 10 Alaska In the meantime the vessel of the Ncit American Commercial Company has left San Francisco for the seal islands, and is due there next week Inc vessel goes under instructions from the commercial company to commence at once the catch of seals under the order of Secretary Foster issued sometime before the moro serious complications arose, in which the maximum limit of catch was hxed at GO, GOO Eyea should tho Rush leave for the seal islands immediately. the commercial company's vessel will have been on the ground for ten days, the time rom San Francisco to the islands being fifteen or eighteen days. There ia no other communication with the seal islands, and 1t now looks as if the commercial com pany will have months catch before the United States and Great Britain are heard from, and that it will make but httle difference to tse commercial company what is decided. The commerc al company propose 10 put forward their best endeavor to catch as many seals in the first month ns pcssible 10 make up for any possible order from Washington prohibiting the catch this summer.

Nothing From tho Charleston

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25.-The fact that no worl was received at the Navy De. partment today from tho Charleston is taken as an indication that she has gone on down the Peruvian coast toward Callao.
 Respecting the reiterated statements coming from Paris to the effect that the insurgents have arran g ed to surrender tho ltata to tho United ; tates naval authori, tes when she reaches Chill, tho officials of the Navy Department stand mute. It may be stated, however, that there have been no negotiations between this Government and the Cailian insurgents upon this sub. iect.
 Inasmuch as the insurgents have not been recognized by the Govern meut of the United States as belligerents, they have absolutely no status tha, would admit of negotiations with them by the United States Government stu IL is plainly evident that some kind of understanding las been or is expected to be reached. which will result in the early transfer of the ltata to either Admiral McCaun or Ad. miral Brown, should sha reach Chit This. of course, would not take the shape of a formal agreement but the intImation may already have been conveyed to our naval officers at lquiquo by tho insurgents that such course will be pursued, and doubt less this has form ed the basis of many cablegrams that have passed between Washington and Iquique during the las, two years.

A REWARD BY THE COMPANY
Would Take No Chances

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 23.-Reforee Cooks decision in the Jackson Corbett meeting last night was that the fight was no contest. Technically, this is not @ draw. It is the effect that the club has seen no battle, and is in DO wise, indebted therefore, to the pugilists for their nights work. A meeting of the Board of Direct ors will probably be held at once to discuss the matter All the bets on the final re- suit are of.
 Referee Cooks decision was given after the men had been in the ring four hours and five minutes. Both men were then so weak 1t was plain to everyone that they could not be expected to strike an effective blow if they remained in the ring till day
 light. The first half of the fight was the most scientific contest ever seen on the Pa cihc Coast, but the last thirty rounds were simply walk-around. After fighting two hours the houors were about evenly divid- ed, though if there was any advantage 1t was in Jacksou's favor. Then Corhett ral- ned. For two rounds he pounded Jackson and had him greatly distressed, but the San Francisco man played himself out in that effort, and, with the exc pt.on of occasi ou- al rallies, there was nothing done by either man during the next two hours h the last few rounds Jackson stagg red around the ring and Corbett was in but little better condition.
 Experts think that the result shows Cor bett 10 Do a first class man, and that Jack son has met his Waterloo Jackson says he left shoulder gave out after the twenty. fifth round He caught cold in the shoul- der week ago. Covbett says his left fore. arm was so battered in the twenty fifth round that 1t was useless afterwards.
 "I did mt propose to take any chance- t" said Jackson, and l suppose Corbett thought the same way. l tried to protect my friends who bet their money on me"
 Coroett said the fighting for thirty rounds was very hard aud tired both men out. '1 was the short-end man." said he, and 1t was Jackson's place to whip me when he could, was there in the ring to be whipped if Jackson could do it. 1 hit him every time he hit mo. I was not go. ing to take any chances by forcing the fight, in toe condition we were in 1 had my friends 10 look after"
 An immense amount of money was wa gered and Corhetps friends won consider able on the duration of the fight as Jack son's packers bet good deal that Corbett would be knocked out m twenty rounds. The contestants will no doubt be remuu- orated in some way, but will not receive much more than their training expenses ca lied for.
