Large Attendance at St. PauI's Church
aud the Cathedral.
The services at st. Paul's Church on
Christmas Day were conducted by the
rector. Rev. G. A. Ottmann. The church
was tastefully decorated with evergreens
and holly, and a large number occupied
the pews. The music was finely rem
dered by full chorus, and after the serv-
ice the Holy Communion was celebrated.
There was an immense throng of peo-
pie at the 1920 o'clock services at the Ca
thedral when Pontifical high mass was
celebrated. Rev. Father Grace delivered
very eloquent and touching discourse
on The Nativity" and the music by the
augmented choir was perhaps the finest
yet listened 10 in this city on any similar
occasion. The services throughout were
OF unusual interest.

CITY OVERRUN WITH BEGGARS

fohee Have Commenced a Crusade A Against
 Insolent Mendicants.
 The city is at present oyerrun with beggars and it is next to an impossi- bility to walk on any street near the center of the city without being ac- costed any number of times for as- sistance. These beggars are both per- sfstent and insulting and unless th,ey receive money from everyone they ap- proach, they heap invectives upon the person who refuses to assist them in such loud tone of voice as to be dis tnctly audible to people twenty or thirty feet distant
 Most of the men engaged in this work are young and thoroughly able to do work, but are too lazy to endeavor to secure an honest livelihood. Begging comes much easier and so they resort to it. In former years the people who solicited aims upon the street were elderly men and women, but now all is changed and it is rare case that any one is approached by other than a young beggar.
 So persistent and insulting have these beggars become that the police department have decided to enter upon a crusade and try to rid the city of these insulting wretches. Superintend- ent Smith has issued orders to arrest any and all beggars found on the streets of the city. With this end in view for the past two days, patrolmen have been sent out in citizens clothes and as a result of their efforts num- Der of these mendicants have been ar rested and several of them are now languishing in jail.
 This order was put into effect Sunday and since that time fourteen beggars have been gathered in. Of th0s number one was arrested on Sunday, seven on Monday and six last evening. In the city court yesterday seven were sent to jail and one was discharged on his promise to leave the city immediately.

HER END VAS SUDDEN.
Death of Patrolman Grants Wife From
 Heart Failure.

Death of Patrolman Grants Wife From
 Heart Failure.
 The many friends of Patrolman John w. Grant, of the central station, will deeply sympathize with him in the death of his wife, which occurred sud- denly about 9:3O o'clock last evening. Mrs. Grant at supper time was ap- parently as well and hearty as ever. After Officer Grant went to work Mrs. Grant, accompanied by her daughter, went to church. Upon her return from service she threw herself upon the bed and almost instantly expired.
 Patrolman Grant was eating his lunch at police headquarters when he was called to the telephone and told that some one was dying at his house. He hastily summoned cab and drove home only to find that his wife had died before his arrival. Medical Ex- aminer White was notified and decided, after investigation, that death was due to heart failure. Mrs. Grant leaves a husband and daughter to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother.

BURNED ABOUT THE HEAD.

Explosion of q Lamp Caused Fire and
 Painful Injuries to Mrs. Dowd.
 Shortly before o'clock last evening an alarm of fire was sent in from box 3. The fire was in house on Market street, belonging to the estate of the late Daniel Lawlor and occupied by a Mrs. Dowd. The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp, which Mrs. Dowd was lighting. She picked the blezing lamp up and threw it out the window, but in doing so her clothing caught fire and she was badly bruised about the head and face. Dr. Roberts was called and dressed her injuries, which while painful, are not considered seri- ous. The damage to the hhuse from the fire was but slight.
