cts good thing, push it along!"
This lodge is increasing rapidly in
membership and bids fair to become
the largest and most pushing order
in the city. Nothing of a sectarian or
a political character is tolerated with
in its portals. It endeavors to rescue
the fallen and to smooth down the
asperities of life, and with the aid of
kind providence will bind together
in one harmonious body men of all
classes and opinions. Although
there is no large sum Of money on
hand to care for the unfortunate
members, never in the history of the
order has brother been allowed to

IN THE FIRST CHURCH.
Sunday School Christmas Exercises Held
In the Afternoon.

The First Presbyterian church Christ
mas Sunday school exercises were held
in the church yesterday afternoon be-
ginning at 4 o'clock. Santa Claus, Hor-
ace Il. Hand, reached the church at the
proper moment and in distinctive 1895
style: he ran w the north aisle and
tugged a bicycle along with him. Dur
ing the exercises a mammoth pie on the
platform burst open and revealed a
number of little human blackbirds.
Santa Claus was preceded by his own
kilograms from the North Pole. Can
ada, Binghamton and Foster and the
contents of the messages created
among the younger element no little
anxiety.
For instance. in Canada he was at
tackled by Indians: at Binghamton one
of his reindeers died and he continued
his journey on a bicycle. and at Foster
he was having difficulty in making time
over muddy roads. but was determined
to keep his appointment. His bicycle
showed no signs of hard travel when he
arrived. Preceding the gift distribution
there was a programme of responsive
readings and carols in which the church
choir and COnrad's orchestra partici-
pated. The greeting was made by A.
w. Dickson. superintendent of the
school. He was assisted in conducting
the exercises by the pastor, Rev. DR..
James Mcleod, and W. j. Hand.

Edward Lynn is again free man.
The coroner's jury last night eXoner-
ated him from the charge of having set
lire 10 his house on Irving avenue caus-
ing the death of his eleven -year-old
daughter. Belinda.
In an upper room of the house the
little girl was sleeping at the time OF
the fire and she was suffocated by the
smoke. After the fire was eXtinguished
Kerosene oil was found sprinkled on the
iioor and this led to the arrest of Lynn
on a charge of arson.
Nothing developed at the inquest last
night to indicate that Lynn caused the
fire and after the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was rendered he was dis
charged from custody
Lynn's own story relates that ne was
less than two blocks from his Inflated
home when the smoke was discovered
issuing from the windows and doors.
Those who were present Immediately
after that say that he was moving
about like deaf and dumb man. and
that he made no real pretense that his
child was in the burning building until
the flames blazed through the roof and
then 1t was too late.
This apathy was what first caused
persons to. suspect him and when the
odor of kerosene was detected. Lynn

MISSION HOUSE INVADED.
Bellevue Heights TOughs Have Hit on
Now fIau of Causing Excitement.


A disgraceful scene occurred Thurs
day night on the West Side, when
band of young tOughs from Bellevue
Heights caused pandemOnium In the
Band of Hope Mission house on Lands
street. and during which Reese Grif-
fiths. of South Main avenue, one of the
mission party, was painfully hurt.
The Band of Hope conducts the mis-
sion of the Welsh Baptist church and
was holding Christmas exercises in the
mission house when the turbulent scene
occurred. A gang of young toughs.
whose ages range from 16 to 20 years,
entered the doors and disturbed the
meeting. When requested to desist
they became noiser than ever, and one,
bOlder than the rest, turned off one of
the lights. The act was signal for
others. who Immediately turned Off all
the lights in the rear of the room
There were present many women and
children who screamed and made a
stampede for the lighted portion of the
hail. There was a moment of scuf-
fling In which several men of the mis-
sion tried to eject the toughs. In the
scramble Griffiths fell upon the pieces
of glass shade. which had been broken
during the excitement, and was severe
ly cut on the face and hands All the
toughs got safely away.
Warrants were issued yesterday for
the ringleaders of the intruders. and n
Is probable they will be locked up be-
fore tonight.

tation by Miss Bessie Blair was, with
