by Georgia Pastor.

was created in the leading Methodist
church tonight by difficulty between

same-Bryan Leaves Red Hook Today.
Tarrytown, N. Y, August 23.-According
to present arrangements, VIM. j. Bryan will
lunch with Senator Hill in Albany Tues
day afternoon. Bryan will not say so, but
the statement is nevertheless true. 1t is
understood that the meeting between the
nominee and the Senator was provided for
by friends of both, without any direct COM
munication between the two principles.
The negotiations were conducted with the
greatest secrecy. Bryan is down for
speech in the capital city, and a handshak-
ing reception is also contemplated, so the
call ON Senator Hill at Wolfert's Roost, the
Senator's residence, must necessarily be of
short duration. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will
say good bye to Upper Red Hook at noon
tomorrow and proceed to Rhinecliffe hy
carriage. A tug will be at Rhinecliff at 2
o'clock to carry them across the Hudson
to Rondout, where they are to take the
Ulster q Delaware railroad for Big Indian.
1t is ten miles by mountain roads from Big
Indian to Winnisook Lodge, and the candi-
date and wife are likely to be late in reach
ing their resting place.
Tuesday they will leave Winnisook Lodge
in time to catch the New York Central train
leaving Rhinecliffe at 2.2O p. m. They are
scheduled to arrive in Albany at 4.05 p. m.
1t will start for Syracuse at 7.55.
Rain was pouring down when Bryan left
the residence of the Perrines to attend ser
vice at the Upper Red Hook Dutch Reformed
church this morning. The church was
about 100 yards from the Perrins house.
No unusual crowd was present. Rev. G.
d. Lydecker, pastor of the church, conduct
ed the services.
The sermon was preached by Rev. DR..
Robert II. Barr of the Associated Reformed
church of Newburgh. After the services
both ministers came down from the pulpit
and shook hands with Bryan, many of the
congregation doing the same.
The position taken by President Miller of
the Chautauqua assembly concerning the
report that the Democratic candidate would
speak at Chautauqua next Sunday is en-
dorsed by Bryan. Several newspapers con-
tain a statement from President Miller that
BRYAN would speak there, unless arrange
ment could be made to have Mckinley ap
pear.
Mr.. Bryan said: 'The work rof the asso-
citation is non-partisan and the president
is quite right in saying that neither candi-
date should speak there unless both were
united"
A number of people called at the Perrine
residence today to see Bryan. In spite Of
the muddy roads, II bicyclists including
one woman rode over from Hudson, 1T miles.

lofty tower and sing a Christmas carol
The effect produced by the music from
such height is assisted by the dress of
the boys, their white robes f1uttering in the

The mistletoe, now a favorite plant for
Christmas decoration, was to the Druids
a sacred emblem. It was gathered by
them with very ponapous ceremonies and ,
when cut ard taken to their places of wor-
ship, was deemed to possess many mystic
qualities.
The mystery plays of the latter Middle
Ages were originally Christmas dramas

churches for the purporse of amusing the
people and drawing them away from the
dissolute freedom Of the Roman midwinter
