MRS. PULLMAN is UNDECIDED.

Mrs. George NJ. Pullman denies rumors

She wishes it to he emphatically under
stood that she has come to no decision
of that kind, and that her mind II not

allowed by law year in which to de-
eide whether to accept the terms OF the

that she il determined to be content with
the smaller provision. but only that she
will consider well all the effects OF her
action before doing anything.
The will Of George Nj. Pullman gave

the "high jinks" order. Socially the ,
days observance seems to have taken
about the same form all through past
ages. Feasting and the giving and TAX
ing of presents have always been the
chief employments of New Years day.
This is shown by the references of Sue
t0nius and Tacitus. to the exchanging of
New Years presents. The custom thus
begun in ancient days was continued
when the map changed and the great
western empire was split into sections,
and has been pushed along as a good
thing ever since.
The church has done its duty by the
day, so far as lies in its power, by insti-
tuting the custom Of ringing in the new
year with the merry pealing of bells, and
watch night services that bring to pray
er many a hayward wanderer to whom
the interior of the church is as familiar
as the altar of a central Africa god
during 1854 days Of the year. In many
countries, the night of New Years eve;
"St. Sylverters eve" was celebrated
with great festivty which was pro-
longed till after II o'clock, when the
new year was ushered in with congratt-
latons complimentary visits and mutual
wishes for happy new year. ms Is
| an ancient Scottish custom, which also
prevails in many parts of Germany
where the form of wish. "Prosit Neu
Jahr," may the new year be happy
sufficiently attests the antiquity OF int
| custom. nv
In the Roman Catholic church the i'
Deum is still sung at the close OF tn!
old year. and New Years day is holi
day of strict obligation.

the FIRST anniversary of the founding OF
the mission by the Christian league. line
crackers were tied in festOons or ropes
across the street, and such racket as
they made has rarely been equalled in the
history of Chinatown festivities. Two
hundred Acknowledged converts gazed at
the scene and listened to the deafenlng
yolley in an ecstasy of delight. Fireworks
of many kinds were also shot off literally
on nriyate account, while the unregener-
ate idol-worshipers of the Race street
colony looked wistfully on the demon
stration from the outskirts OF the crown.
The anniversary was, however. maue
more than an occasion for mere JolllIlca,,
