SANTA CLAUS THE BETHEL.
How Scores of Children Were
Made Happy.

MADE HAPPY.
Yesterday was Christmas at the
Bethel, down on the levee, and all the
children of the Sunday school were
right royalty entertained. There were
children of all nationaIities, 200 in num-
Der. Black-eyed, swarthy-cheeked Itali-
ans. flaxen-haired Scandinavians, broad
faced Germans, wee tots with the blood
of old Irish kings in their veins, shin
ing-faced pickanninies, Yankees, Min
nesOtans, children of all ages, colOrS
and degrees of excitement, faded tip
pets brushed, new hoods, old clOakS
were relieved by scarlet mittens, and
faces Shone from vigorous application of
soap and water.
The exercises began soon after 8
O'Clock with the grand old hymn, 'An-
tiOch." After that Chaplain Pierce
prayed. A beautifully illustrated Bible
was presented to the school by Miss Ida
Thompson. and Rev. Mr.. Pierce read
from it the scripture lesson Luke H..
LOO. The song, christmas Bells Peal
On" was sung with will by the school,
and each class recited Messiah text.
Mrs. E. S. Stanton delivered an ad-
dress about the girls sewing classes in
the industrial school. and their religious
and practical benefit to the pupils. Ten
little girls from the sewing class sang
an appropriate song, the refrain of
which was "Stitch, Stitch" Mrs
j. n. Leonard's infant class con-
tributed songs and recitatiOns as
their share of the entertainment.
Will Shank recited a pretty poem about
snow, and the school sang, and sang
well, too, the hymn, ''Hark, the Herald
Angels Sing"
The object of collections taken for the
Bethel was explained by Rev. j. l.. Nor
gan, superintendent of the boat, and
Rev. Mr.. Pierce made spirited appeal
for funds 20 buy the clothing which is
given to Sunday school scholars who
have obtained twelve attendance tick
cts.
Santa Claus then arrived. In ordinary
life he is Superintendent Engel, of the
Sunday school, but in a fur coat and red
toque he made a pleasant, albeit some
what youthful saint. He apOlogized in
deers, but said he had come
in a ship. The ship, as it rested
on a platform, was a beautiful
vessel, trimmed with evergreens and
burning candles. and loaded from hull
to top gallant with presents which
Santa Claus crew in sailor clothes dis
tributed. There were NOah'S arks, and
toy horses, and dolls. and carts, and
trains of cars, and dolls chairs, and
goodness knows what else. Paddemoni-
um ensued. Such blowing of horns and
screaming of whistles, and laughter and
shouting was never heard before. There
were some Oliver Twists, too, who
wanted second ration from the boat
But they were ali jolly crowd, and as
the ship load grew less. children with
oranges ana nuts and candies, done up
in pink mosquito bar bags, and carrying
gifts under their arms, trooped out of
the Bethel door, climbed up the gang
plank to the levee, and noisily ana hap
PLY disappeared homeward through the
twilight.

AT THE HOTELS
The Christmas Dinners Were Sim
ply Out of Sight.


The hotels of st. Paul are noted, and
Justly so, for the hOSDitable manner Ill
which they recognize their duties to-
ward their guests on such days as
Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yester-
day, as if in appreciation of the bounti-
ful crops and general prosperity of the
past year, they rather surpassed all pre-
vious efforts. Elaborate dinners were
given at the Ryan, Merchants.
Clarendon, Windsor, Sherman and
Metropolitan, and the menus were love-
ly in the extreme. At the Ryan the
dinner was served from to 8
o'clock, and each guest was provided
with bOQuets for tine buttonhOleS of
gentlemen and the corSage of the la
dies. The great dining room was hand
SOmeIy decorated and Kleist's Mandolin
orchestra rendered music during the
entire period. The musical programme
was noteworthy and follows:
March-"Wo Grid Exposition" ... Hoffman
Selection - ''Erminie" 80. .Jacobowsk
Waltz-"L Ecstutiantina". ........ Waldteufel
Il Nattina' solo,. sig. Fachutar
Prof. Z. Kleist.
overtime enrto to Tine Siege Of Paris Z a. ''scA
W. S. Ripley
Patrol-"Comique" ...............T. Hindley
.'Darkies '-Leyee song. E. Brooks
Medley-"Daily Questions" Il. Schlepegrell
At the Merchants the dinner was
served at the regular hour and was be-
yond compare. The menus were, per-
hapS. the finest of the lot used in the
city yesterday. At the Clifton the DIM
ner was like its celebrated predecessors
of years gone by. There, too, the
guests were given a musical treat,
Prof. Wills orchestra rendering the
following programme:
March-"The Band Is Coming -. -. Schild
Selecton-''Gypsy Baron" -. ........ Strauss
Waltz-'Danube Waves 80. ....... Iyanhoe
Overture-'MOrning, Noon and Night
suppe
Forge in the Forest ............-.M iehaelis

b-Daybreak.
c-Angelus.
d-The Forge.
Egyptian Midnight Parade. ....... Iseman
At the Windsor a beautiful menu card
did hardly justice to grand dinner,
and OF the Sherman. Metropolitan and
Clarendon the same could be said. AT
the Sherman the menu card was partic-
ularly tasty, and so was the dinner.
There were few transient guests in the
city to enjoy these treats, but the people
| of st. Paul all seemed to be anxious to
| I'LL their places. A solid and substan-
| tial argument in behalf of st. Paul as
! the place for the national Democratic
! convention could be furnished by the
| menus of the hotels of the city yester-
| day.

SNOW PLOWS OUT.
Despite the Storm the Service
Was Maintained.

The heavy snow storm yesterday
somewhat delayed the electric car serv-
ice OH almost every line in the city. but
owing to the energetic measures
taken by the railway company the
cars were able to ruiz UP to midnight.
On the cable and electric lines the snow
plowS were kept in use all day, and
huge clouds of SNOW were sent flying
through the ar as the plows ran along.
At all crossings and curves gangs of
men were at work with shovelS and
brooms sweeping away the tieecy mkt
ure from the clouds, and, though in
some cases travellers were compelled to
wait loug time for cars, the service on
the whole was we'll maintained and re-

Trains Running on Time.

The snow storm did rot materially
affect the running of trains in the
Northwest yesterday The storm was
general over the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, yet up to last night most of the
trains were running on schedule time.
The only exception reported by local Of
fees in ST. Paul IS that of No. on the
Northern Pacific, which was due in st.

People Indoors.
Notwithstanding the baby blizzard
which was st. Paul'S Christmas present
from the weather bureau. the theaters
did a good business yesterday. At the
Grand the matinee audience was salts
factory but distinctly topheavy, an I'M
usual thing in matinee houses. In the
evening the thrilling and romantic side
of war. as depicted in Held by the
Enemy" was applauded by large
house, which included several box par
ties. At the Metropolitan the after
noon proved a success. Merry Fannie
Rice perpetrated her Jolly Surprise"
on an audience of tlattering size. and in
the evening sang and danced to the de-
light of a large Christmas house. The
song Coming ThrO' the Dye" sung by
Mr.. Thornton, proved an especial favor
ite, and the duet Were Down Upon the
Coppers," by Lawlor and Thornton. to
the stirring strains of Dixie, was heart
lily encored.

when they are about half grown, and
vigorous enough to bare the ground OF
vegetation, the habit Of migrating in
large bodies is developed, those which
acquire wings travelling long distances,
according to the wind, while those
which do not seldom go moro than a
few miles from where they hatch. The
remedies and devices proposed, and to
some extent adopted, for the destruc-
ton Of locusts have been very numer-
Gus. The protection and encourage
ment of birds, particularly by the pay
ing Of q reward for hawks, as is done in
Colorado, is natural agency not to be
overlooked, but tho destruction of the
eggs has long been looked upon as the
most efficient means of averting locust
injury. This is effected by narrowing,
blowing or spading, irrigation, tramp
ing or collecting. In 1874 and 1870
there werc many locations where for
hundreds of square miles it is said that
scarcely an inch of tho soil could be
stirred without exposing these eggs, so
that, although the task of getting rid of
them would vary with the location and
the means at hand, it was manifestly
one Of great magnitude. For the per
formance of this work in various ways
a great number Of novel machines have
been introduced and numerous patents
therefor have been issued, as also for
the destruction Of the young or un-
Hedged and tho mature or winged in
sects.-Scientific American.
