Christmas at the Presbyterian Church

I The Christmas celebration at the
Presbyterian church last Saturday even
ing was of a very high order of excel
lence. The house was packed with a
most interested audience, most of whom
were children, determined to get 4 view
of the great Kris Kringle. 1t was a
novel entertainment, there being a
marked absence of all stereotyped fea-
lures and methods. A real brick house
was built, with an open fire place, and
irons, and the stocking over the CHM
ney place, and the fire on the open
hearth. Curtains hid the house from
the children during the first part of the
program, and many an eager eye tried
to penetrate the veil, behind which was
the overwhelming Christmas mystery.
The opening exercises consisted of
songs by the school, and finely rendered
selections by the Sunday School Choir,
composed of picked voices of the youths
and misses of the school. They at once
captured the audience, and their excel
lent execution assured every one that
the Presbyterians need not be without
good music in the future. A class drill
was given by the infant class, each one
carrying a letter trimmed with ever
greens, forming the sentence-''The
Prince of Peace" Appropriate recita-
tiOns were given In good voice and with
fine results. Your reporter would like
to speak of every one who took part, but
it is enough to say that all acquitted
themselves with credit, and many a Dan
Webster and Miss Willard were seen in
seed form among the speakers. After
these Introductory exercises, the curtain
was thrown aside, and then began the
straining of eyes and stretching of necks.
Miss Elinor Milton recited ''T'was the
Night before Christmas in most
charming manner. and it never seemed
so beautiful as in the sweet tones of an
innocent child who believed in Santa |
Claus. The next charm of the evening |
was the singing of ''Baby Mine'' in the
of the stage by Mrs. DIR.
whose voice and melody car
ried every one to the home and nursery.
Then down the chimney came Santa
Claus fresh from his adventures among
the children of the world. his great heart |
grieved because he had given away all |
his presents. and had none for the eager |
faces before him. Bat the ellis and fai- |
rIes stood by him, and one of them with
her magic wand, whom the scholars rec-
ogniZed as Mabel Tate. came forward |
aud assured Santa that she could help |
him out of his trouble. BY the waving
of her wand every brick in the h.use be-
came treasure box of candy and nuts.
and other fairies appeared to distribute
them 30 the anxious waiting hearts
around. Popcorn came into existence
aud good cheer predominated. and every
one was pleased, and the entertainment
was pronounced a success by all, both
old and young. The beauty of the en-
tertainment consisted in its variety. its
its music. its brightness.
and the happy greetings of all.

The link which will bring about the
union was furnished by Miss Gertie HOmans,
a sister Of the prospective bride. Colonel
Stout became acquainted with Miss Gertie
when she played Little Lord Faunteroy"
in Spokane Falls some time ago. He wrote
her, and some of the letters received at
home were answered by Miss Ida. In that
way the correspondence was opened. There
was conditional proposal by mail and an
acceptance on the same basis. Colonel
Stout has been in Chicago for several days
at the Columbian celebration. He left
Chicago Friday night and telegraphed be
wonld be in New York at o'clock this
afternoon.
he arrived on time, too, and Miss
Homans met him at the station, having his
latest photograph with her. by which she
said she should surely recognize him. And
she did il. She knew him as soon as he
stepped from the train.
When Miss Homans recognized him her
greeting was, Pm SO glad to see you"
Colonel Stout was presented to Miss
Homans' escort. and the entire party took
the boat for Brooklyn. whence they went
to the residence of Miss Homans' parents.

Mrs Baldwin Is Clearly Out Of Place Among
White People

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Mrs. Baldwin, for
twenty years a missionary in China, spoke
at the Asbury Park Methodist Church to-
day before a large congregation, detailing
the kind of treatment she had received at
the hands OF the Chinese and stating that
she regarded Chinamen as superior In many
respects to other foreigners whom the
United States sccOrds free entrance to the
land. with citizenship. The speaker said
that since she had been delivering lectures
ing letters, and not long ago a special

This was in Christian America, and in
Brooklyn. She had never 0een in such
danger in China. The Chinese, she said,
were good laborers and could work longer
and in places where others could not, yet
they we're beaten, bruised and killed, and
all because they worked, while the Irish
and others got drunk and would not work
as well.
When this reference to the Irish was
made considerable disturbance arose in the
church and several people left.
Continuing, Mrs Baldwin said il made
her sick TO hear speeches such as were made
during the Columbian celebration, in which
America was spoken Of as the land OF the
free. She thought il was not the case.
During the war on the Chinese at Seattle,
Cleveland and Bayard were appealed to
seven times to protect the Chinese, but only
sent troops to protect the United States

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23-A representative
OF The CALL saw DR.. Gardner at his resi-
dence at 9 AS p NJ He had seen Mrs. Har-
rison but short time before. She is sink
ing rapidly, but the doctor expressed the
opinion that she would live through the
night. He was very careful to say, how
ever, that this must not be understood as a
definite and positive belief that she would
survive the night. She might die at any
moment, or she might perhaps live Tor
tWenty-fOur hours, or possibly little
longer than that. He said that death would
result from exhaustion.
Being asked if she might not suddenly
expire as the result Of ft of coughing, the
doctor said that she was too weak 10 cough
much. He thought that she would pass
into a comatose state and die so, although
she might be perfectly conscious until the
moment of dissolution.
He says that Mrs. Harrison Is perfectly
conscious at present. or was when he left
the White House. She is perfectly aware
that death is very near. She is very nerv-
Gus, but owing to her very weak and ex-
hausted condition does not feel so keenly
the mental anguish that might be expected
Of one so near deaths door.
Dr. Gardner did not know whether any
spiritual adviser was with Mrs. Harrison.
He had not, Of course, made inquiries Of
the family.

anything unusual about the White House
premises tonight unless now and then TO
