II delight in witnessing the gambols of child

When you are sure of being welcome everywhere

Christmas Day.
While Christmas Day is one of festivity and
good cheer for everybody, young and old, it is
particularly an occasion of happiness and mer
riment for the little beings to whom the Master
once compared the Kingdom of Heaven. And
Christmas Eve is fraught with so much radiant
juvenile expectancy and eager anticipation that
by universal consent the hours of the nocturnal
prelude are blended into those of Christmas day
itself christmas Day hath thirty hours.'
Apeep into Ravenna homes during the time
of these cherished hours would be delightful
privilege, and as it our privilege to be pres
ent at one of these scenes of Christmas cheer
Monday evening. we feel that it is due to Santa
| Claus to make at least mention of what he did
for the children, and incidentally the older
children too.
The good old Saint selected the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. II. B. Dickinson, at the corner
| of Prospect and VanBuren streets, for the enter
tainment of goodly number of guests to whom
he sent invitations to be present. And what

and glistened and danced their bright rays over
| its gift laden branches. elected a spontaneous
burst of wonder and admiration from the assem-
bled wee folks" The room was gayly festooned
| and otherwise appropriately prepared for the
| occasion. bounteous Christmas dinner was
| served in an adjoining room, at which there were
| forty plates. As the guests arose from the table
each was invited to partake of the " Fairy Pie''
which was prepared by filling huge pan with
a wonderful assortment of pretty little gift ar
| ticle TO each one of which was attached ribbon
extending up through the crust" The mys-
| terry of the contents and the uncertainty of what
would be drawn by each guest afforded no end
making feature of the feast was the distribution
of old fashioned motto candies. At the conclu-

Santa Claus himself (the real old Saint who had
a good word and gifts for all. It was one of the
most pleasing occasions at which it has ever
been our good fortune to be present
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1894-12-26

The spacious auditorium of the Congregational
Church was filed in every seat Christmas night.
Santa Claus was particularly lavish in his atten-
tion tc the bright classes of little boys and girls
who had waited for the occasion during the pre-
ceding weeks with eager longings, and who en-
ioyed its realities with the unstinted apprecia-
tion of childhood. Two Christmas trees, bear
ing all manner ofChristmas fruits for the objects
of the good old Saints munifcence, were located
at either side of the stage, from which numer-
GUS company of scholars spoke and sang. The
program consisted mostly of selections from the
younger children, and while it was all pleasing
to the parents, teachers and friends who had
assembled for an hour with Santa Claus smaller
constituents, particular mention should be
made of little Bessie and Helen Brigham, who
made their appearance twice during the evening
captivating all hearts with their fairy voices and
faces. The evening was one of memorable char.
acteristics to all in attendance.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1894-12-26

Those who attended the Christmas services at
the Methodist Church last evening were con-
fronted by an immense fireplace and chimney,
which had been constructed for the occasion
back of the platform. This structure and the
stage were tastefully decorated with evergreen
and bittersweet, while the mantel held a num-
ber of genuine tallow candles. An excellent
program of seventeen numbers was pleasingly
rendered, Coming down the chimney of gem
uine Santa Claus laden with boxes of candy and
oranges for more than $50 members of the Sun
day School, was one of the important numbers
to the little folks, particularly. Among the
many pleasing things we make special mention
of the very excellent music furnished by the
Ideal Mandolin Club, and the fact that the au-
dience was not allowed to break up in confusion
after the distribution of gifts, as such meetings
not infrequently do.

The holiday trade in Ravenna was extra
ordinarily good. The merchants say 1t was
better than has been realized for number
of years, leading one expressing it as phe-
nomenal. All of which is not only interest
ing in business circles, but important and
gratifying to merchant and patron alike, as
a certain assurance of better times, and en-
phasizes the fact that Ravenna's enterpr1slng
merchants can more than duplicate the
prices of pretentious " metropolitan" rivals.

Santa Claus night at the Disciple Church was
most enjoyable one. The auditorium was filed
with an audience that came to be entertained
and went away with recollections of an exceed
ingly pleasant occasion. The program was an
unusually interesting and very original in
its conception. In addition to a well filed tree,
Old st. Nick himself was present, with his Ger
man costume and broken English. Right here
it may be said that many people imagined an
indefnable something suggesting identity
of the ancient Gift Dispenser and the Superin-
tendent of the Sunday School, Mr.. John A. Flick,
but that, of course, is beyond serious thought.
The scene discovered Santa Claus in his home,
holding a colloquy with his family and giving
audience to representatives from every country
and cline on the earth, all of whom besought
him to reconsider his decision not to make his
annual tour this year. The old fellow was so
afflicted with rheumatism that he had determin-
ed on remaining at home, but after refusing all
proceeding opportunities, he yielded to the
solicitations of the poor of the country to come
for the sake of the day itself. Music, recitations
and dialogues, by the smaller children, followed
| by the distribution of presents, completed a
memorable evening at this Church.

Christmas Eve there was very fine entertain
ment at the the Universalist Church. Excellent
music was furnished by the Mandolin Club, Miss
Maud Slaughter, the Sunday School and Choir,
and the recitations by the children were appro-
pirate and admirably rendered. The place of
the pulpit occupied by old-fashioned
fireplace. Santa Claus and Fairy found pres
ents in the chimney for all the children. large
supply of provisions was brought to the Church
for admission fees and Christmas morning many
families were made happy by visit from Santa
Claus,

sTR|k|AG TA|lORs PROTEST.
They Engage Attorneys to Fight
Injunction Proceedings
Claim Their Rights Have Been In
vaded by the Court.

The striking journeymen tailors have
concluded to fight the injunction secured
from Judge Dugro, Of the Superior Court,
by the proprietors of the tailor shops in
the Fifth avenue district. and have re-
tained Attorneys Alfred and Charles
steckler. OF the Pulitzer Building, to
represent them when the motion to make
the Injunction permanent comes up In
the Supreme Court next Monday.
The tailors think there is something
peculiar in the fact that the injunction
proceedings were commenced in gu
preme Court, and that the order was
granted by a Superior Court Judge.
They also think 1t an unusual proceed
Ing to restrain strikers from not only
patrolling in front of places OF bust
ness, but also from "stationing or keep

In the Immediate vicinity" of such
places. 1t Is argued that. II this order

SERGT. KASS WILL INSIST.
Demands that the Police Commits
sioners Retire Him.

The matter OF the application for re-
tirement OF Sergt. william Kass, which
was denied by the Police Commissioners
several weeks ago, will in all probable
ity be brought up at the meeting to-
day.
The Commissioners, Immediately after
II was resolved to take up the cases
against accused police officers. decided
to refuse to act upon all applications
for retirement until after the close of
the trials.
At the next meeting sergt. Kass made
application for retirement under the
twenty-year service law. The applica-
ton was laid over with several others
and the applicants limited that they
would take legal action 10 compel the
Commissioners to retire them. None or
the applicants. II appears, had any
charges pending against them. The law
SPECIFICS that II Is obligatory upon the
Commissioners to retire, upon applica-
ton. any member who has done twenty
years service.
Sergt. Kass will ask to-day to be re-
tired under another section OF the law,
which makes II optional with the Po-
lice Commissioners to retire any officer
on the force who has reached the age
OF sixty years. Bergt. Kass was sixty
years old Aug. and therefore will de-
mand that he he retired.
If the Commissioners refuse to take
favorable action ON his application to-
day Kass will appeal TO the courts.
