THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT

Pervades every nook and
Granny of this active store.
We've been preparing Tor this
great Christmas festival for
some time. The giving of gifts,
The forgetting of self, the kind

tieth part of the good things
that have been gathered for
you. Useful and ornamental
articles, all intended to make
somebody happy, and all priced
so modestly that the most piu-
dent need not complain.
We would suggest that you
make your selections as early
as posslb'e-before The assort-
ments become broken-by so
doing you also avoid the dis
comfort Of the ever.increasing
thropgs as the time draws near.

ME PARIs MORGUE.

The little white house behind NOtre
Dame is one of the Paris uphemisms for
the mOrgue, though white" is hardly
the right epithet, and little" it is to
be no longer. The mOrgue is to be
transformed and enlarged to meet the
needs of Paris, for, having been built
to receive fifteen victims per day, the
average Of admittances has now risen
to thirty and thiTty-hve, so that the
Macchahees, which is the Paris term
of argCt for the riverside men engag-
ed in the harvest CT the Seine, are COM
planning that they and their burdens
must wait tcO long outside while
room is being made. For-who
would imagine it?-there Is cOmpeti-
ton even for a place in the mOrgue.
The building of mournful memories
has Itself been used ever since 1864,
when it replaced the little structure,
sc like Greek tomb, which rose on the
Quai du Marche Neuf, in the city quar-
ter, and the latter dated lack to the
Reyolution-the 29th Thermidor in
the year XII. Before that, the insti-
tuition going far back though the
buildings have changed, the morgue of
Paris was the horrible vault called the
Basso Geole du Chatelet. whence indi-
rectly tho name morgue, and where the
Sisters of ST. Catherine received
and shrouded" the bodies of the drown
ed, being constrained thereto by the
statutes of their order. The literature
Of the morgue would fill a library, its
lessons would fill the world. If a
mournful philosopher desires to find
sermons in stones he might come here
to get them-Pall Mall Gazette.

All friends of organized religious
effort will wish Bishop Monaghan full
success in his effort to secure sufficient
funds to build a handsome Catholic
cathedral in our city Such a structure
would. in addition to being an instru-
ment of great good and convenience in
the work of the Catholic church in this
diocese, be a material addition to the
architectural beauty of our city. There
was a time when st. Peters Pro-Cathe-
dral met the requirements. but the
work of the church IN this diocese has
advanced with such rapid strides thai
something larger and handsomer is
required. The work and dignity O
the church demand it.

Mayor McLear and the Morning
News are getting a great deal OF
credit which rightfully belongs to the
Milford Chronicle. Our reference is
to the agitation about increasing the
trade of the city of Wilmington, and
particularly that part OF It which
comes from the lower part Of the
state. Some time ago the Chronicle
called attention to the fact that Phila-
delphia and Baltimore were getting a
good deal' Of Peninsula trade which
properly belonged to this city. It is
signed as cause for it that the Ad-
dicksites we're so disgruntled because
this city was a hot-bed OF regular Re
publicanism, that they would not come
here to trade. The Evening Journal
took it to task for this bald misstate-
ment as TO cause. but admitted that
there might be good ground for the
statement that Philadelphia and Balti-
more were profting at cur expense
We then urged our merchants to lool
into the matter and to get the trade
which they were missing That is
what they are doing, and the glory o
their effort rests with the Chronicle
Which, in an endeavor to make poo
political point, called public attention
to fact which had been overloole,
by our tradesmen. If it has any fur
ther suggestions to make the people O
our city, who are vitally intereste,
in its welfare, will be pleased to hea
them.

Marriage OF Two WeIl-known
Pcople in ST. Andrews.
The chanceI of St Andrews Ca
thedral was beautifully decorated with
choice flowers and evergreens last ev-
ening, by the pupils of st. Andrews
Priory. the occasion being the mar
riage of the Rev. Vincent H. Kitcat TO
Miss Lily NJ Danford, eldest daughter
of Lady Heron. The interesting cere-
mOny which made them man and
wife was witnessed by a large number
of their friends, who nearly filled the
Cathedral. Eight O'Clock was the hour
set for the ceremony, and at that time
the bride appeared at the main en-
trance with Sir Robert Heron, who
gave her away. The bridegroom had
already taken his place at the chancel
steps, attended by his best man, Mr.
Give Davies, and the groomsman, Mr.
Edward Stiles. The bridesmaids were
the two sisters of the bride, the Misses
tired in yellow, trimmed with white
and the other white, trimmed with yell
low The brides costume was of white
satin and veil of real lace. The serv-
ice was entirely choral, being sung by
the supplied choir, under the direction
of Wray Taylor, who presided at the
organ. The wedding hymn, "The Voice
That Breathed Ger Eden" was rem
dered as the bridal party marched up
the aisle. The Rev. Dean Osborne
assisted by Rev. Alex. Macintosh, per-
formed the ceremony in a very i'm
pressive manner. The wedding psalm
was sung to chant, and as the newly
married couple left the Cathedral, the
Lohengrin Bridal March" was played
on the organ. Mr.. and Mrs. Kitcat will
spend their honeymoon at the Herbert
place, Kalihi, and then take up their
residence at Iolani College. Many
handsome presents were received by
the young couple. The officers of the
Cathedral sent a set of silver spoons
and other things, with an Illuminated
address, the pupils Of st. Andrews
Priory a silver pitcher, and the Ha-
waiian congregation a very handsome
calabash.
AS the bridal party left the church
the aisle was strewn with flowers by
number of little girls.
