JAIL IMPROVEMENT.
A Mr.. West exhibited to the board
plans for the construction of cells in
place of the present hobo cell, and also
dungeon cell. They would be Of steel,
with small square openings in the doors
and tops for light and ventilation: could
be made in two stories, one above the
other, and when a new Courthouse is
built can be taken out and used in it.
They would cost about S4 600 He also
showed locks for the cells, the keys of
which would not burden the jailer to
carry. The cells would accommodate
siXty-eight to seventy prisoners, would
be vermin- proof, had folding hunks that
could be kept clean and We're secure.
He would, he said, furnish the plans
and specifications for the work to the
board and would guarantee that they
would be so drawn that any first-cIass
man could bid on them
The board accepted his offer and will
discuss the plans at the November
meeting and hear any objections that
other intending bidders may make to
them.

Anour rARIFr HEARINGS.

There are two views of tariff hear
ings The one that Democrats are
quite apt to take is that of a commit
tee on ways and means holding open
meetings, to which they have espe-
cially invited those engaged in sundry
industries, whose fostering and pro-
tecting Is the principal object of the
bill the committee is to formulate. A
little more ultra view is one in which
these representatives of industries are
seen writing out each the schedule he
is most concerned with as he wishes
it to be and the committee pasting 1t
into the bill. There was justification
for this view in the proceedings Of the
committee over which Mr.. Mckinley
presided a little over six years ago.
The other is the Republican view, and
this has two or more points. The eK-
IRENE one is also the ultra one Of the
Democrats, and Is stoutly defended
as being the only right and logical one.
If the object Is to protect, who, pray,
can tell what degree or measure Of pro-
lection is needed. except it be the men
who are to be protected2 Who, better
than they, know just how high a tax
must be laid to shut out their uncom-
Portable competitors from over seas?

st. Paups church moment after the
midnight chimes had announced the

first public observance of Jesus natal
day. 1t was but an hour or two from
the time these belated yvorshipers re-
tired to their homes that from the
windows Of the Catholic churches
flashed the first glad lights Of the
Christian church's greatest day. BY
1870 the streets in the vicinity of the
respective shrines were lined with bur
rying Christians who sought the early
high mass. This was in spirit and IN
musical beauty scarcely second to the
solemn high mass later in the day and
scarcely less well attended in most of
the churches. From o'clock till noon
the churches of the Catholic denomina-
ton might be said to be constantly
crowded. Nearly all the churches had
some service at $780, while In many
the Sunday schools filed in the after

CDR. Bill' delighted two large audiences
at the Metropolitan opera house yesterday.
The play and company have made hit, and
justified the belief Of the management that
this comedy would prove strong holiday at
traction The last performance will be given
tomorrow night. Usual matinee today.
The sufferings of the Siberian exiles will
be illustrated at the Grand for the last times
at the matinee performance today at 230 and
evening performance tonight at 815. The play
is well acted. deliberately staged and affords
an entertainment of genuine interest.
Those who see the romantic Prisoner of
zenda" at the Metropolitan next week will
find plenty to interest them. The play has
furnished world of entertainment to the
most enthusiastic audiences in other cities.
The great attraction of "McSorley's Twins, -
the Grand's attraction the coming week, is
the clever speciality artists which Manager
Merritt has secured for his successful comedy.
The list is headed of course, by Ferguson

The cathedral was packed last even
ing at the solemn vesper service. as

bishop Ireland was at the throne and
delivered the sermon
1t is well" he said, ito soleanHlize
Christmas befittingly; to greet one an
other with the customary happy
words; to observe all the worlds
manifestations Of joy, but If in our
souls there be not sincere love for
Jesus, our conduct is but mockery
Sin is the obstacle to the Joy that
should be ours at this holy season.
The Babe of Bethlehem compels our
love by His humiliations and sacri-
fees for us. The crib with it's poverty
and privations appeals to multitudes
to love the Savior, who thus abased
Himself for their salvation. 1t was
Jesus way of reaching the human
heart. He might have been born in a
mansion He might have chosen mag
niflcent surroundings, but He pre-
ferred Bethlehem In order that He
might shorten the distance between
the Lord Of majesty and poor, afflicted
miserable humanity. Let us love the
Babe Of Bethlehem"
The archbishop's address occupied
about an hours time, and was eIo-
quent and soultouching.

would be no more misnomer than is
it's reference to that staunch protec-

Dana, himself, has just said in his Sun
that a name is nothing when applied to
a party; that it is principle that tells
what a party is, and this is just as true
of paper as a party. If the Sentinel

ceptable to God
There may be a sort of belief in
Christ which is in no way associated
with worship. Some persons look upon
the birth OF our Divine Lord as they
would look upon the birth of any
good man. 1t is simply to them an
historic fact and nothing more There
are others who look upon the birth Of
Christ from its moral side, and, in
their conception Of it, they do not re-
gard 1t as in any way connected with
the redemption of man or his spiritual
uplifting. They do not come to Beth
lehem to worship. The agnostic and
the pessinist treat the whole subject
with indifference. But the man who
rises to the greatness and the blessed
ness of the incarnation cannot but fall
down before the manger and offer his
tribute Of prayer and praise. Let not
the festivities Of this glad season, and
its intensified social obligations, in any
sense, crowd out the duty of worship

a well-spring of mirth, and his humor az
