"LE REXEILLON."
An Old French Custom Has Local
Observance.

Ihe tenacitv of tradition was shown by
the observance of "Le Revellon" in this
city last evening, or rather this morning
In France there is an old custom for
friends to meet after midnight mass on
Christmas eve and break the fast of the
vigil of the nativity by feast. In small
villages the mayor very often made re-
vellon" Tor the whole community, hiring
central barn for the purpose and pro-
viding stores of white wine, chestnuts and
other delicacies. Even the village priest
would drop In after mass. and after Quaff-
ing goblet leave his flock to innocent
hilarity.
The name of the festival signifies a
watch" and corresponds closely to the
American idea of watching the old year
out and the new year in.
There we're several "reveillons" in the
city last night, the principal one being on
jackson street, near Montgomery avenue,
where, after II 80 o'clock, no liquors were
sold, and patrons sat down to a substantial
free feast of turkey, sausages, salads and
caret. In Difference to American Ideas a
decorated Christmas tree graced the center
OF the table. Toasts, songs and mirth pro-
loDged the occasion.
The same celebration, with varieties.
obtained at other places. including hotels
on Pine street, near Kearny, Broadw ay.
near Montgomery avenue, and sundry
headquarters of the French colony. In
some places it was made a pure business
speculation.

Every year at this season the good and
charitable Sisters Of Saint Francis, who
have charge of Saint Joseph's Home, com
memorate the birth of the Savior by fes-
t1val which brings much sunshine into the
Swallowed lives of the invalids under their
charge.
Last evening stately Christmas-tree all
ablaZe with candles and decorated with
glittering and brilliantly colored ornaments
occupied one end Of the large dining-hall
IN the home, and all of the eighty-fve in
mates who were able to leave their beds
gathered around it. After some beautiful
and appropriate music by the Sisters
choir. with either accompaniment, one of
the Franciscan fathers delivered a brief
address. in which he told very simply and
effectively the story of the event which
they had assembled to celebrate, and con-
cluded by thanking the sisters on behalf of
the inmates of the home for their care of
and kindness to those "who though many
of them are old in years are all made chill
dren through their suffer ing and weak
ness"
At abe close of the fathers remarks cake
and wine were served by the sisters to all
present. and when these refreshments were
disposed Of the chapel was lighted up and
all who chose repaired thereto, number of
visitors joining them to view the artistic
decorations for which this place has be-
come especially noted.
The holy crib was arranged in the sane.
tuary before the high altar in the midst of
bower OF evergreen branches hanging
full of many-colored fruit In the cente

with the Blessed Virgin and Saint Joseph
at his right hand and the shepherds

alteration before him. Above. angels with
folded wings look down upon the wonder
full scene, and in the blue vault overhead
the star of Bethlehem shines clearly and
steadily.
In the arched space beneath the crechs
is wonderfully accurate representation
of woods and green fields. bosky dells and
placid lakes, and flock OF snow-white
sheep wandering about among the herb
age make the picture wonderfully real
istlc. There is also, at one side of the
altar, miniature representation of the
and that fair city itself with its houses
lighted up brilliantly.
During the evening the sisters choir
sang number of German hymns, and at
midnight high mass was celebrated by
Father Athanasius, to whose taste and
skill are due all the beautiful decorations
of the chapel. This service was rendered
particularly impressive by the singing of
one of Schweitzer's beautiful masses by
the sisters, two of whom also sang duet,

theatrical community was laid with rev
erent hands to rest in the Masonic GENE
terry.
A brief outline of the varied life of thu
deceased has already appeared in TIL
CALL. AS he had hatred of vain dis
play. it seemed emibently proper that the
funeral ceremony should partake of the
same simplicity that distinguished his
character.
Only the immediate friends Of the fam.
lily gathered at the residence, 1913 O'Far-
reil street, yesterday. Loving and thought
fui friends, however, had remembered
their cOmrade, and the bier was in con.
sequence, covered with wreaths and cut
flowers. The attaches of the California
Theater sent a magnificent floral piece,
standing almost feet high. 1t represented
an anchor, beautifully wrought with
chrysanthemums, blush-roses and violets,
and bore across its front the legend:
The Judge at Rest
Our Comrades Torch of Life Is Extin guished.
Surrounding the anchor a white dove,
with oulstretched wings lowered. with a
whisp OF ripened wheat 1t its beak. Ger
tain OF the employees of the Palace Baths
on FIlbert street, who were intimate with
MI. Marshall through his connection as
electric engineer, also sent very hand
some stand of flowers.
Rev. DIR. Ollie of the Central Methodist
church OBLIGATED at the funeral ceremonies
and In few well-chosen remarks eulo-
glZed the deceased for the simple virtues
which had gained for him so many friends.
MISS Ruth White sang as solo, Nearer,
Ny God, t. Thee" to the accompaniment
oil Miss Theresa Brooks. after which the
following pallbearers conveyed the casket
to the hearse: w. G. Dinsmore and q.
Taylor. both school-fellows OF the de-

The cortege being formed the final ceIe-
monies incident to the interment took place
