AN EVENING OF PLEASURE.

Yale Tent, no. Sc, 10 I NJ, had a
royal time of enjoyment at Their last
review on Tuesday night. 1t had been
whispered round amongst the Sir
Knights, that the Lady Maccabees in
tended making them n visit on that
particular evening. Whether it was
gailantry, or out of respect for the
ladies, or the prospect of II good square
meal, is hard to determine, but the re-
suit was almost an overflow meeting
Back numbers who had forgotten
whether hay-foot or straw-foot took the
front, and later numbers were there,
all spruced up in their Sunday clothes.
Well, sure enough the ladies came, land
were introduced, and welcomed with q
right royal salute, every Sir Knight
dong his best to look rs pleasant as 4
May morning, and as natural as If he
were used to being present at, every re-
view. After short time spent in social
chat and personal greetings, the ladies
took possession and opened up their
part of the programme, and for an hour
kept the Sir Knights in q glorious state
of hilarity. Mrs. MenZies' rendering of
Browns experience with the stove pipe
and Mrs. Will Gowan's description of
Peck's bad boys goat and how event
for the old mans pants, were both eX-
cellent and brought down the house.
Then came supper-no use in describ-
! ing that-it was II hummer, and the way
the Sir Knights chiseled desolation
through the contents of those baskets
told plainly enough that that
some of them at least, had not had a
supper at home for month, in antici-
patton of good one. And they got it
After supper the Sir Knights took q
hand in, and the orators of the Tent
made things lively for the Remainder
of the evening. 1t was conceded on al
hands (and thanks to the ladies) thai
this was the Red Letter evening in the
history of Yale Tent. Every Sir knight
went home with a prayer in his heart
/ if not expressed, that the latch-strinl
of the Tent should hang out for thu
ladies to enter again soon, and often
especially when they bring such sub
stantial cheer with Them

Night.
Last Monday evening Lew Stratton
an employee of f. d =. NJ. Railroad
went down to the east end of the yard
to place the switch lamps in position
as usual. When he climbed down
from the switch stand he was con-
fronted by two men armed with coup
| ling pins who demanded his keys.
Lew, knowing them to be strangers,
SAID he was Just helping the station
man and that he had no keys. This
seemed TO satisfy the men rs they
went away. Stratton went back to the
station and secured small revolver
and it being nearly train time thought
he had better return to the switch
He started down the track and when
he reached the North street crossing
he saw the switch lamp thrown into
the ditch, running up to the place he
found two men standing 10y the switch
stand, and asked them what they were
doing, when one struck him cutting
cash over the eye. The other fellow
made II lunge at him with razor cut
ting Il slit through his vest and shirts
and making Il small cut in his hand.
BY this time Lew commenced to shoot
but the revolver was small and broken
and he did nothing more than frighten
them away. His heavy clothing saved
him from getting severe cut. STRAIT

RUM AND RELIGION
Led to a Lively Fight Which Almost Resulted
In Murder.

EVERETT, Mass, Dec. 26.-Rum and re-
ligion caused a row yesterday which came
near being serious affair for one of the
parties. William Strachan made a
friendly call upon an acquaintance of his.
Patrick Doherty. After being there a
short time Doherty produced a bottle Of
whisky, and the two men took several
drinks. The men began TO talk religion.
Strachan is an Orangeman and a Pro-
testant, and Doherty a Catholic.
While taking another drink, Strachan
remarked to Doherty that he had taken
many drink with Mrs. Doherty when
she was alive, she having died some
months ago. This remark maddened
Doherty, who called Strachan liar, and
6trachan retorted by calling Doherty Of
fensiye names. The men then clinched,
and Doherty threw Strachan out of the
door.
atrachan ran into wood shed and
grabbed long g-handled AK and returned
10 the house and broke the door down
with II. Doherty grabbed n chair to de-
fend himself, and In the melee succeeded
In knocking the AK out of Strachan's
hands. And then, as Doherty himself ex-
presses il, he proceeded 20 wipe the floor
up with Strachan and finally threw him
out of the door again.
The appearance of Strachan at the sta
ton house last evening indicated that
poherty must have punished him fear
fully, a. Strachan was very near wreck
Doherty was only slightly scratched.

DAY Of GREAT JOY
Christmas Happily OBJ
served About Here.
BRIGHT SKIES, BALMY AIR.
Churches Well FILLED and Services of
Impressive Character.

The observance OF Christ's birthday n
nIversary In Pawtucket and vicinity was
a bright and happy one. Its joyousness,
generated in grateful hearts bat he'd in the
heavenly food OF Gods divine affection,
seemed contagious and cast its softeDing
influence over the community, chastening
each individual according to his disposi-
tion and enveloping all In an atmosphere
of purest peace.
Bright skies and balmy air contributed
their part TO make the day pleasure BILE.
Hundreds OF people availed themselves of
the beautiful weather To walk, ride or
drive TO various places OF interest In and
about the city and this fact gave an APP
pearancr of animation to the streets not
often noticed on Winter holiday.
The religious services were seldom, il
ever, more complete in their beauty OF
form and fulness OF harmony than yester-
day, and the thousands of worshipers
gathered In the churches found a pious
satisfaction in listening to the ofr-told
tale, 80 old, yet ever new and sweet, OF he
Saviour's babyhood and delighted in
joining in the peans of praise to God the
giver OF all good.
Charity, that thrice blessed virtue, en-
bracing nearly all the good in life, was
not stranger in our city. Generous
souls, thankful for the Lords bounty to
them, found room in their natures for
thoughts OF Others less fortunate than
themselves and gave OF their means with
willing hands To tighten the burdens OF
the weak and needy. Into many homes,
darkened by sickness and privation, the
light OF sympathy and help entered and
taught more clearly than the most elo-
queDt sermon could teach the beautiful,
unchanging eternal truth of mans fell
lowship III God.
Family ties were renewed and strength
ened as the dear ones OF the home circle
gathered around the hreside hallowed by
the love and self sacrifice OF each for the
other. Parents gladly welcomed back
children who had wandered far from the
roof-tree, and absent ones were wished
for with loving solicitude. The older
members OF the family found sufficient
happiness in being together at home,
while gifts and games and fond caresses
made the little folks feel that Christmas
was their especial holiday.

Reaching the point, he did not see his
host. He walked along the wall piece,
but Arnold failed to appear. When he
had gone a few yards and reached point
