Coombs. Mrs. J.. w, Punderson sang

The communion service was most
impressive. The choir interpreted a
mass by w. A. c.. Cruikshank.-. The

pecially well rendered. During the ad-
minister.ng of the Holy Communion

the pastoral symphony and "He Shall
Feed His Flock" from the Messiah" >"
Rev. DR.. Wright's sermon was found
ed on this text, from Timothy ill.,, 49,,
"God was manifest In the flesh" DIR.
DR.. Wright said in substance: sa
The incarnation is the keystone of
the Christian arch. The whole sNsf
TEN of revelation revolves around this
one idea The psalms and the propher
cies glow with 1t. Christ himself
claimed the incarnation. He cured
the sick. raised the dead and wrought
equal with God; that he was one with
the Father. AS the incarnation was the
central fact of Christianity, 1T was
early attacked by unbelieying men;
not have a real body, but spectral or
phantom body. The HISTORIANS held
that Christ had but one nature and a
double personality. To meet these
IlereSleS Ine COuIlcH VI INlCe III oAo
formulated that grand symbol of the.
faith, the Ntcene Greed, which was
amplified a few years later by the
council of Constantinople. The Athah-
asian Greed also made emphatic the
position of the church in regard to the
incarnation.
All early religions had this concep-
ton of an incarnation. But 1t was
gross and pantheistic. 1t humanized
Cod or deified humanity. The union
of the human and divine in one per-
son was the sole revelation of Chris
tianity.
The incarnation was extended in the
sacraments of the church. This is
brought out in the collect for Christ
mas day, on which we pray that we
may be degenerate" SO by the holy
feast of altar brings us very near to
the incarnation.
The church was decorated with fes-
toonS and wreaths of evergreens. The
musical service will be repeated next
Sunday morning.

ASSUMPTION CHURCH.
Rev. AIixiuS HOffmann7s Tenth
Animal CeIelratiOn

At Assumption church, German Cath
olic, on Exchange street, the solemn
high mass at o'clock i'm the morning
was celebrated by Rev. Father Alfred,
and a mass was read every half hour
from then until 1890, when another SOL
emn high mass was celebrated. At
the latter mass, and that in the early
morning as well, the immense struc-
ture was we'll filled The last mass
was celebrated by Rev. AliXius Hoff-
mann, o. S. B., vice president Of st.
Johns university at Collegeville. 1t
was the tenth anniversary of the occa-
sion of Father Hoffmann's first celebra,
ton of the mass, and he came here
to make it a sort of a jubilee for this
reason. Rev. Father Alfred acted as
deacon, Rev. Father Benno as sub
deacon and Rev. Father MauruS as
master of ceremonies.
The singing was delightful in the
extreme, the choir consisting of about
thirty-fiVe voices under the direction
of John S. erode, John Rentz presiding
at the organ. Mozart's Seventh
Mass" was sung, with Weigand's Of
fertory, "Laetentur Coeli."
The sermon was preached in German
by Father Alfred, the subject being
"How We Should Receive the New
Born Savior" The thought expressed
by the speaker was that when Christ
was born in Bethlehem the people were
so concerned with worldly things that
every place of refuge was closed
against His mother, and she had to
seek shelter in a stable. So it was to-
day, the people were too much occupied
with the material side of life and too
little with the spiritual.
The altars were beautifully decorat-
ed with flowers, plants and wreaths.
From the wall ON each side a wreath
extended to the center Of the magnifia
cent dome. The Crib a reproduce
ton in miniature of the scene attending
the birth Of Christ, was something
elegant. In fact, everything connected
with the service was well intended to
impress the minds and hearts of every
one who had the good fortune to be
present. q

George Magee,s Innovation in the
Line Of Christmas Gifts.
George Magee is a good fellow, and
that's about all he cares to be. He
may not know the real boundary he
tween British and Dutch Guiana or
the meaning of transcendentalism, but
he does like to be thought a good fell
low. In this respect he resembles a
lot of other people, only more so. Yes
terday, just to show he knew it as
Christmas, he presented to a number
of his friends cleverly gotten up boxes
containing each half dozen perfecto
cigars. On each box was the inscrip-
ton Merry Christmas, and carefully
placed on top of the foil-wrappad ci-
gars in each box was a miss's size pho
tograph of himself. Here is where the
trouble came in.
Everybody who happened in made
some remark about having seen CT
garette pictures, but added that it was
left to a st. Paul man to introduce the
idea of having photographs IN hoXes
of cigars. Magee saw that he was in
for it. He was at loss, for he couldn't
, very well leave his place of business on
| Christmas day, so he stayed and took
his chatting like little man, and the
chances are that it will be some time
before he hears the end of his pleas
ant little Christmas idea.

in some mystic way, but In the diyin-
est manner that could possibly reveal
him to man. What more human than
the coming of God into our human
ity in the simplicity Of the birth of
childhood? Unto us a Child is born;
unto us Son is given recognizing
thereby the motherhood and the IA
'therhood of the true family tie and
thus establishing the complex human
Identity"
DR.. Andrews also spoke at some
length of the divine side, and pictured
it as representing the nature of God.
1.-The government shall be upon his
shoulders" he continued, "he shall he
called wonderful; mighty God; the
everlasting Father. 1t is not the mere
theology of the schools that establish
es the divinity of the Messiah but the
prophecy of old time which declared
long ages beforehand that the wonder
full name of Christ should also share
the attributes of the power of God"

Mr.. Poole.
Christmas services were held at st.
John the Evangelist church, at IL
o'clock yesterday morning. The church
was appropriately decorated in Christ
mas green's, cedar and holly.
James Blaikie, ohoirmaster. had pre-
pared a special musical service which
is deserving of much praise. All the
parts We're well rendered, and in the
anthem Sing o Heavens" sung by
the quartette and chorus, with Master
Teddy Delane, soprano; Master Charles
Gerhard, alto: Arthur Teafoky, tenor,
and Percy Churchill, basso, the clear,
high treble of Master Teddy Delane
could be heard above all other voices
His soprano solos in both anthems,
"Sing 0 Heavens and "Thus Speaketh
the Lord of Hosts" were eXcellently
rendered. The sermon was preached
by Rev. Mr.. Poole, of Faribault, his
text being found in Philippians H., So
After bidding the congregation the
days greetings, Rev. Mr.. Poole be-
gan his remarks by saying that the
whole air was full of the inspiration
of Christmas, peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men, In the text, which first
describes the humbling OF Christ, then
His eXaltation and glory, is contained
a brief summary of the whole gospel
of Christ He said: 1.-THE mystery Of
God is revealed in the life story of
Jesus. The great principle of sacrifice,
which was the guiding principle of
Jesus life while ON earth, and the
rule of the Father, is beginning to ex-
press itself today in the great read
justment of society which is going on.
Today it is not only a struggle for life
itself. but also for that of others. 1t Is
struggle that life may expand itself
by sacrifice and good to others. The
principle of sacrifice is that by which
the noblest characters are formed. Ii
we look at the great men of the world,
we find that they are the men who
have given themselves to others. Pas
teur has well said, Happy is the man
who has a God in his heart Every
great man in literature and science has
! been ruled by the God in his heart.
How much more does it belong to
Christian men and women 20 have the
God, Christ Jesus, in their hearts.
eff we gain the lesson which nature
teaches, which God teaches, namely
that only through secrifice come eX-
altation and glory, that only through
this law God brings harmony to peo-
pie and nations, we will have learned
the greatest lesson of life"
After the conclusion of the sermon,
holy communion was celebrated.

That would put the coppers on, and
they would pinch me. All straggle
along until we get out on the bridge,
and then a few stand around so that
no one can notice me take off my coat
and pants. 1t will only take a min
ute' ,4r
Only Billy Twombley and one or two
others went out to the point from
which the leap was to be made, the
others, about a dozen i'm all, remain
ing on the north end of the bridge.
They thought the fellow would never
come up alive. Menier was but sec
ond doffing his coat and trousers, and
handing them to Twombley with the
injunction to throw them over the side
of the bridge onto the railroad track
so he could get them when he came
out, he placed his hand on the rail
and vaulted over onto the side of the
bridge. He climbed down until he
reached the frame work, and, after
clinging a second, down he shot like
an arrow.
There was a loud splash, and the
next second his head was seen above
the water. His body inclined for
ward as he approached the water, SO
that his hands seemed to be about hor-
iZontal with his knees, and if he had
10 rail- twenty feet further his head
would evidently have struck first.
Menier swan like duck, but when
he reached the shore he lay for a
minute or SO, apparently overcome His
clothes had been pitched over the rail-
and Jim Ahern and one or two others
ran to his assistance. They threw the
overcoat over him, and a second or two
later he rose and began ascending the
bank to get up on the railroad tracks.
All the spectators had been too much
excited to applaud previous to this, but
they now began clapping their hands
and yelling, SO that Officer Hennessy
was attracted to the spot on a run.
This was the first intimation the officer
had Of what was going on. When Me-
nier got up on the tracks he threw
off the coat, turned handspring,
bowed to the spectators and then
started to walk hurriedly to get back
into shelter
Instead of taking him down to Rob-
bert street he was taken away up to
Eagle street, where he was placed in
a hack and started for Twombley's sa-
loon. OfficerWalsh intercepted the hack
however, and placed Menier under ar
rest. When taken to the police sta
ton he was in a. pitiable condition. He
was shivering with cold and COM
planned of being hurt. DR.. Brimhan
was summoned, and when he arrived
Menier had revived considerably, hav-
ing in the meantime been placed on a
cot and covered with blankets. He was
still shivering, however and COM
planned Of a distressed feeling under
his ribs. But the doctor thought this
was due to the shock from the cold
water, and he did not feel that Menier
would suffer greatly after he got
warmed up.
Menier is charged on the police tab
with the crime of being disorderly, but
it is doubtful if he can be punished for
his offense. He may be prosecuted
on general principles. The water in
the river where he jumped is less than
ten feet deep.

ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH.
Pretty Programme Arranged by
Rev. j. Adam Deter.

Pretty Programme Arranged by
Rev. j. Adam Deter.
An attractive programme was carried
out at the English Evangelical Luth-
eran Church of the Redeemer, corner
of Lafayette and woodward avenues.
The pastor, Rev. j. Adam Detzer, had
arranged a realistic representation of
the story of the Christ child that was
both beautiful and interesting. A cur
tain representing a night scene, with
the lights Of the city of Bethlehem
cleaning in the distance, afforded the
background for the mountain scenery
arranged in front. In the foreground
appeared the small cottages, while in
the distance the wise men, represented
by quaint, movable doll-like figures,
which were also represented by small
images, somewhat resembling the toys
of a childs "Noahs Ark" only de-
cidedly larger. The Christ child, the
manger Joseph and Mary, the angels
and the bright star that guided the
sented by these toys, which were i'm
ported from Germany. The idea of the
curtain and scenery originated with
Rev. Deter, under whose personal
supervision it was constructed and ar
ranged.
The Sunday school services were held
at o'clock in the evening, and were
devoted entirely to the children. A
service was conducted according to
printed Christmas service by Charles
II. Gabriel and E. Lorenz called the
Herald Angels Programme" and in
cluded the following: Organ prelude;
professional, THE Song of DID," Scrip
ture reading and prayer by the pastor;
hymn, Herald Angels recitation,
'"rhe First Christmas Day. carol,
'"Tell 1t With joy responsive reading;
carol, GLORY to God in the Highest"
chorus and duet, "Angel Echoes;' in
Out Gut for for Jesus" M hymn, i 'Hark, What
Mean Those Holy Voices?;;' address by
the pastor; offertory by the choir, Let
Us Now Go Even Unto Bethlehem"
G. l.. Hatton: solo and chorus, '"The
berg; responsive reading; song, Come
and Worship" carol, ''Hark. the Angel
Band Is Singing" benediction.

AT CHRIST CHURCH.
DIR. Andrews Delivers an Address
ADprOpriate to the Day.

At Christ church holy communion
was celebrated at in the morning and
again at the regular service, begin
ming at II o'clock. This latter was the
service of the day, and was beautiful
throughout, the magnificent musical
service rendered by the vested choir
under thedirection of Choirmaster Ear
P. Foote adding much to the impress
siveness of the Christmas day service.
Rev. Charles d. Andrews, rector Of the
church, officiated, and during his brief
address to the congregation expressed
much regret at the absence of Bishop
Gilbert, who never before missed
Christmas service at Christ church
since he was rector. The bishop held
services yesterday at st. Clements
church, but was present at the Christ
mas carol service held in Christ church
Christmas eve.
At II o'clock the choir, with the di-
minutive trebles leading, entered the
church, which was tastefully decor
ated with evergreens and holly ber-
ries, singing the professional, 'Hark
the Herald Angels Sing" and from the
moment they took their places in the
choir stalls the congregation was
vouchsafed an excellent rendition of
the churchly musical numbers. The
hymns, anthems and responses were
given with an evenly balanced vol
ume of melody which betokens care
full training. The "Te eDeum' was
by Dresser, while the anthems were
Gounods beautiful Praise Ye the
Father" and There Were Shepherds" +"
by Treadwell, the later being sung for
the offertory.
The solo parts were we'll taken with
out exception, and were sung by Mas
ters frankie Cullen and Fred Drew,
trebles; Harvey Carr and Jimmie Gra-
ham, altoes, and Messrs. Frank Will
son, bass, and Glenn Gessler, tenor.
DR.. Andrews, according to his usual
custom on Christmas day, preached no
formal sermon, but made brief ad-
| dress appropriate to the day.
He spoke from the text Unto us a
| Child is born; unto us Son is given
and the government shall be upon His
shoulders, and His name shall be called
wonderful; mighty God; the everlasting
| Father; Prince of Peace" After eX-
tending to the members of his parish
| q hearty wish for the blessing of the
holy season, DR.. Andrews spoke feel
ingly of the absence Of Bishop Gil
bert, who had come to be looked for or
Christmas day in the chancel at Christ
church. He said: 1.-THE chief object ot
the text for today is to impress upor
us the doctrine OF incarnation as 6
means of reconciling the doctrine ol
grace with a reasonable faith. Why
should it be thought a thing in
credible that God should take up His
residence in man, and reveal Himsel1
in the fatherhood> and in the brother
hood Of our common humanity? No

CHRISTIANS DINNER.
Took Two Hours to Cook Two
Bites to Eat.

Among the happy people was Pietro
Ramiciotti, the Italian restaurantaur,
who has remained true to st. Paul
with his high-priced delicious cooking
ever since the boom times of 1886, when
everybody was his patron.
The particular cause for his happi-
ness yesterday was the fact that a
number Of gentlemen, well remember
ing the excellence of cuisine, took
occasion to entrust to him the prepara-
ton of their Christmas dinners
Pete" as he is called was radiant
with his starched white cap and i'm
maculate apron and jacket. His
thoughts ran back to when, in his white
front restaurant on Third street, he
could count dozens Of st. PauPs lead
ing men eating his deliciously prepar-
ed spaghetti, and toothsome duck. He
was even talkative yesterday. "Thisa
day lika the gooda time" he said re-
tlectively to the G l 0 b reporter, 81
I Iika te see the gentleman have the
gOCda dinner wella de cooked Lasta
year 1 see something maka me tired.
l hava de man, he hava de two friends,
he lika a gooda dinner. L fixem my
self. I cooka the springa the chick and
the teaia the duck. l maka myself two
hours to do it. What you thinka? He
eat it in two bites" and, so saying, he
wished the good old times were back
again.
