extremely clever, Santa Claus was
ushered in with the song, Santa
Claus Is Coming" and sure enough he
did come and with loads of good
things.
1t was pathetic sight to see the lit
tie tots of and cry to him that they
were there. Surely never before had
they seen such a beautiful sight And
then came the distribution-they
hugged to their hearts the toys they
received, dolls and candy for the girls
and balls and tops and other toys for
the boys.
After they returned to the converts
the sisters gave them presents of
clothes, which, though more practical,
did not seem as good to their little
eyes.
The programme was as follows:

THE STORY OF THE
MISTLETOE BOUCH
It is Told in PantOrnine and
Song at a Christmas
Festival.
school OF the First Unitarian
Church.
The mistletoe hung in the castle hall,
The holly branch shone on the old wall


The sad little story of the mistletoe
bough, told in song, and interpreted
by pantomime, was a feature of the
annual Christmas festival OF the Sun
day-school of the First Unitarian
Church held last night at Golden Gate
Hall. The cozy little hall was filed
with the parents and friends of the
little ones and those who assisted In
the entertainment.
The first scene of the pantomime
was In the castle hall, all the friends
and retainers Of the Baron partici-
pating in a general jollihcation In
honor of the wedding OF the Baron's
daughter, Geneva, to Lord Lowell. The
guests are all dancing and singing and
the scene closes with a pretty minuet,
and the bride runs away to hide.
The second scene shows the same
people many years later; the husband
now old and feeble makes the horrify-
ing discovery of the reason of his
wife's disappearance. Opening an old
chest, he finds a bit or satin and q tat
tered veil. The children no longer
mock him, he has found his bride The
curtain falls, and it takes the light
and dancing to dispel the momentary
gloom that fell over all at the close OF
the sorry little story. During the pan
tomime. Miss Edith Hanks sang
1.-THE Mistletoe Bough."
The first part of the programme was
devoted tc the rendering of the Crosse
Kinder Symphony by Romberg. The
musicians, twenty-three in number,
were under the direction of Samuel

The war between the State and the
Federal quarantine authorities was ter
minated yesterday by the receipt of a
letter of instructions from the Secre-

A Pointed Remark Regarding tbe
Grusping ProcliVities Of
Northern Cities.

Secretary Carman of the Alaska
Trade Committee telegraphed yester-
day from Cheyenne as follows:
Our party en- route to Chicago was
given a reception here by Governor
Richards Of Wyoming, Mayor Schnit-
ger, a delegation of citizens and a
large number of representative citizens
upon our arrival here. Governor Rich
ards, Mayor Schnitger, the Secretary
of State, the District Attorney and the
editors of the Cheyenne papers made
addresses in honor of the occasion.
which were responded to by Governor
Shaekley and Secretary Carman. The
interest in the Klondike gold fields and
San Francisco's inducements to miners
to outfit there increases as we go fur
ther East. There is a continual stream
of visitors through our car and much
interest is taken in the display. Every
town en- route is alive with people who
are seeking information about the new
gold fields and the means of transpor-
tation and best place to purchase sup
plies.
F. w. Sensiba, who recently went
from Stevenson to Seattle, writes the
Journal of the latter place a letter in
which he says that ''in a grasping sense
Chicago during the Worlds Fair was
paradise compared to Seattle" He
advises those who contemplate going
to Alaska to go by way of San Fran
cisco, as everything is much cheaper
there and the residents are more hon
est and humane.

The Lord Chancellor.

The lord chanoe llor 10 the only mem.
Der OF the British cabinet vino is not
allowed to 60 outside of Great Britain.
This is because he must have the great
seal in his personal custody, and to take
the great seal outside OF Great Britain
would almost be AN act of high treason,
When Cardinal Wolssy was lord
chancellor. he took it with him on q
visit to France, and thereby hastened
his fall, in the opinion OF many. The
great seal, which is double silver die,
into which molten wax is poured when
an impression is required for state
document. was once ueed for culinary
purposes. While Lord Chancellor
Brougham was staying. in 1888, at
Rothiemurchus, the Scottish residence
OF the the dowager Duchess Of Bedford,
the ladies Of the party got possession Of
the great seal and hid it, much to the
lord keepers distress Of mind, for he
feared it was lost. He was blindfoldsd
by the ladies and sent to search for it in
the drawing room. At last, to bis in
tense joy, he dragged it forth from tea
chest, and then, to celebrate its recovery,
used it for making pancakes in the
kitchen.-Ne,r York; Tribune.

The Invention of Envelopes.

The invention Of envelopes is within
the memory OF middle aged persons, and
was the result Of Brighton (England)
stationeris endeavor to make his store
look attractive. He took q fancy for
ornanenting his store windows with
high piles Of paper, graduated from the
highest to the smallest size in use. To
bring his pyramid to point, he cut
cardboard into very minute squares.
Ladies took these cards to be small
sized note-paper. and voted it perfectly
lovely" So great was the demand that
the slstioner found il desirable to cut
paper the size 60 much admired. But
there was one difficulty. The little notes
we're 80 small that when folded there
was no space for the address, 30 after
some thought the idea Of the envelope
pierced the stationeris brain. He had
them cut by metal plate, and soon, SO
great was the demand, he Commissioned
a dozen houses to manufacture them for
him. From such small beginnings came
this important branch of stationery
business.-Inuentire Age.

SUMMER SPORTS.
Crete, July 2.

The Capital City gun club held a very sue
,.ssfu, shoot at Lincoln Park on July fifth
RN WEIGH of this city won the championship
IN, offered by O'Neil and Gardner. In this
.vent there were six tied for the cup and Mr.
we,cb WAS Obliged to shoot off four times to
,.roxs his right to the prize. The shooting be-
Gan Mt nine O'Clock and lasted till darkness put
an end to the sport when the club was COM
PEELED to call off one large bird event Tor which
there were many entries.
The Lincoln grn club also celebrated the day
by school on their grounds west OF the via
duct. Several merchandise and money prizes
were offered and some good shooting was done.
Mr.. Latshaw won the prize for the highest
average score his average being ninety-one per
cent.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has passed
nm excellent game law which it would be well
for this state to adopt. The law prohibits the
sale of game of all kinds killed in the State
and also stops the removal OF game taken with
in the state. This. of course, puts an end to
the killing of game for hotel and market trade
carried on by use of traps and other devices
which we're used to catch great quantities of
game of all kinds. But the law also puts q
check on the sportsman, limit being placed
upou the bags which may be made per diem.
One man may now kill In a day ten cocks. ten
grouse, fifteen quail and two wild turkeys; the
use Of ferrets while hunting rabbits is prohib-
tied and person cannot kill more thsn two
deer during the season. This law has not only
been passed but is enforced and a guilty party
must either pay up or go to jail and remain
there day for every dollar. What a blessing
such a law would be for this state. True, there
have been game laws enacted but they are very
seldom enforced and we have no law to prevent
the killing Of game for sale in this state and
shipment to other states.
Two very interesting games were played be-
tween the University and David city teams on
Monday last. David City won the morning
game by a score of 10 to and the univ ersity
boys returned the compliment in the afternoon
with a score of IA to 9. Tuesday afternoon the
two teams again took the field to finish the last
of the series of the six games which they have
been booked to play. This resulted in a victory
for the visitors by score off to B. IN the six
games the university boys have won from David
city two. This practically ends the base bali
season at the University.

That the Chautauaua this week has been a
great success is recognized by every one in at

with no failures or disappoi,tments and this
has been due largely to the work and interest

hard time to exist, but now its prospects are
