HIS BROKEN VOW.
w. b. Whal1ey, Aged Eighty, Permits
Woman to Enter His Home.

Bridgeport, Nov. SO.-William B.
Whalley, a carpenter of eighty years.
living in Fairfield, has furnished that
town with a sensation. Three years
ago his wife died. After her funeral
he nailed a board above the door of
his cottage on which was painted an
inscription that no other woman
would ever cross it's threshold. He kept
the VOW faithfully until last week when
he went to Brooklyn and returned with
a Swedish woman of thirty eight
years, whose name he refuses to di-
vulge. AS far as known the couple
had never met before the eventful trip
to Brooklyn.

PRES. o1EYB1AND's GENEROSITY.

on Gray Gables Property.

on Gray Gables Property.
Boston, Nov. 30-The fire of a few
weeks ago destroyed the cabin home of
Daddy Brunn, so-called, robbing the
hermit of all his worldly possessions.
Brunn owned only the building, and his
land lease, expiring with the demolition
Of his cabin, he could not succeed in
renewing It. He is about seventy years
old, and, shrinking from the idea of be-
coming a town charge, he asked to be
allowed to continue to support himself.
He received money contributions suffi-
cient to build a house. but could not
secure site.
In his dilemma he wrote to President
Cleveland and the latter replied
through a mutual friend, giving per-
mission for Mr.. Brunn to build his cab
in on the presidents Gray Gables es-
tate, to be used solely by Brunn, and
all rights to revert to the owner when
Brunn ceased to use the land as his
place of dwelling. The presidents gen.
erosity is the subject Of much talk In
the neighborhood.

TREASURY GOLD oBnr1FIcArEs.

No Present Likelihood That They Will be
Issued for Gold Bullion Deposited.
Washington, Nov. 30.-T1rere is no
present likelihood that the treasury de-
partment will voluntarily resume the
issue Of gold certificates for bullion
gold deposited. Within the past week
sterling exchange has gradually grown
stronger, until it now has reached
within a fraction of the gold exporting
point During December and January
it is usually for imports to be heavy,
as result of which gold has to be sent
abroad in January and February, to
meet the payment Of the goods thus
imported.
At present the gold reserve is $30,000,-
900 above the reserve limit, and the
treasury rather discourages than other
wise the receipt of gold, as it reduces
it's supply Of currency. In round fig
ures it has on hand net $70,000,000 in
currency available for it's daily busi-
ness.

Union SERVICES.

The attention of our readers is es-
pecially called during this blessed sea-
son in which the joyous words of the
first Christmas anthem-"Peace on
earth, good will to men'-form the
burden of appropriate, serious
thought, to a notice III our local col
umns, which tells the result of Il re-
cent conference held Ly the clergy of
Bel Air. The very first principle upon
which Christian unity can be based,
is harmony Of action, and when
this is secured, success is certain.
The differences which have for so long
formed the barriers which have pre-,
vented fraternizarion between the
different denominations are crumbling
under the influences of reason and the
desire to produce practical, beneficial
results. 1t is, as we view it, the plain
duty of all who desire the success oi
Christian religion, to use every means
to aid this movement in its progress
and we trust that the result Of the
service which is to commence III BE
Air on January Sd will be the imme
diate concentration of all the forces o.
our churches-to produce the desired
end.

CHRISTMAS.

The lapsing of ages has not detracted
from the glories and sanctity of Christ
mas day. Although nearly nineteen
centuries have rolled by since the
birth of our Saviour in the lowly
lnanger at Bethlehem, yet Christianity
has been taking deeper and more last
ing hold on the people and civilization
Of the world, and Christmas is univer-
sally recognized as sacred festal day.
Not only is Christmas celebrated as
Il sacred holiday, but the event for
which it stands, the birth of a Saviour
to a diving and sin-cursed world, is
made prominent. Missionaries are
carving the news of our Saviour and
lis salvation to people who know not
cf Him, and each year thousands are
.lebrating Christmas who before
Lnew nothing of Christ and His sal
Eation.
Christmas is a sacred day, and
should be observed with as much
reverence as the holy Sabbath. If we
top to think of what it commemor'
ates, how it should be associated with
all that is pure and molly within us
we will not regard it in light ol
frivolous manner.
