CHRISTMAS DOIN6S.
How the Event Was Celebrated in
the Churches.
AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

AL I6E PhES IEhlAN CHC hCd.
Friday evening of last week was
observed by the members of the
Presbyterian Sunday-school and
many interested visitors. The main
feature of the decorations of this
church was words of the Christmas
song which the shepherds heard on
the first Christmas day-''Glory to
God in the highest, on earth peace
good will to men Outlined in ev-
ergreen back of the pulpit in let
ters large enough to nearly fill the
gothic arch at thatend of thechurch.
Festoons Of evergreens on either
side of the interior, and a large
Christmas tree at the left of the
pulpit, laden with packages of can
dy and popcorn and lighted with
the usual tapers, aided to make a
pretty scene. The church was
crowded some time before the hour
for beginning the exercises, which
had the merit Of being brief as
well as unusually interesting for
young and Old The choir sang a
Christmas anthem, as well as other
appropriate selections, and nine
cute little juveniles opened the pro-
gram by lettering the word Christ
mas, each one from G to S reciting a
verse. Little Clara Ferris was the
youngest on the program which
followed and the most popular hit
was the appearance of ten little
maidens in white nightdresses,
each carrying doll, and singing
=! Hang up the Baby Stocking At
the close the principal soloist pro-
duced long stocking supposed to
be grandmas S, which she proposed
to substitute, so as to give baby a
fair chance. The substitution met
with the vociferons approval of the
audience, especially of the younger
portion. The pastor was assigned
to make the closing remarks, which
he made very brief, after asking the
question, with a humorous twinkle
of his eyes, whether the children
would like best to hear him talk or
to eat candy. The prompt response
in favor of candy was granted, and
the distribution soon followed.

OUR BEARDED
LADY.

Designing men, through al1uring aud cum
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them "towrite
to a wonsan @ aud secure a svoran's sym
pathy." It is well to remember that the
best sympathy Is to had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. The object of the sick is to get well,
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never yet cured seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, If not more so, than SYM
pathy from stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure if you are an ailing woman.
It is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
woman's ailments" and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to woman +"
The sort of understanding of her ailments"
wanted by sick woman Is trained medi-
cal understanding. If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments not as sOonaan, but as a
physician. If she is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
AS far as known, there is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women-no one, therefore quail
fed by learning and experience, to advise
on questions of disease and its cure.
It is certain that there is no one, man or
woman, connected with any put up "
medicine for women, excepting only Dr..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who, like
DR.. Pierce, Is regular graduated and quail
fed physician, and who has, like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the special
study and treatment of diseases of women.
For more than thirty years DR.. R. ".
Pierce. q regularly graduated doctor, has
been chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. On his staff are nearly a

a sack of candy and most all the
children present were not forgotten
by Santa in the distribution of pres
ents. After the exercises were ov-
er the children went home and it
probably was a late hour before
most of them were asleep, dreaming
of Santa Claus and Merry Christmas
tide.
A very handsome tea service was
also presented with other gifts to
the pastor and his wife.
CATHOLIC CHRISTMAS.
For the first time in it's history
full Christmas services were appro-
priately given in St. Henry's Catho-
lie church, Sheridan. The early
masses were well attended, and at
1870 there was not standing room.
Rev. FIR. Woods preached an elo-
quent sermon on 'The Saviour's
Glorious Birthday" bringing home
to all the depth and meaning of
the first Christmas day and that
the word made flesh gave US right
divine to heaven-our eternal home.
The Redwood choir furnished the
music of the mass and sang the
Christmas anthems most creditably.
The proceed of the day, some $19,
the pastor declined to accept, pre-
ferring that it be applied to the
credit of ST. Henry's treasury fund.
St. GATHERINGS churchalso cele-
brated the Christmas festival in a
manner beftting the grand occa-
sion. There were solemn vespers
at $50 and Rev. FIR. Woods preached
a particularly fine sermon on the
humanity, divinity and personality
of the God man, showing the mercy
of God the Son aud the deep import
of that heavenly song the angels
sang when Jesus became all our
own. The choir is deserving of
due praise for their excellent rem

school connected with the Metho-
dist chuch were entertained at the
church parlors last Saturday even
ing. The original program was to
give the little members of the Sun
day school sleigh, ride, but the ell
ements not having conjured up
enough snow for this occasion, the
people in authority were obliged to
extend the promise and to carry out
the supper program only. At one
time there were nearly 100 children
and nearly every one of the same
size, at the tables, which were wait
ed on by the different class teach
ers. The pupils all declared Santa
Claus to be jolly good fellow for
preparing a supper for them, and
retired to their homes about Z
o'clock to hang up their stockings
for Santas final appearance that
night.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH EXERCISES.
At the Christian church the ex-
ercises were held on Christmas eve
and the small church building was
crowded to the outside door. The
tree was the largest of any in the
city, and was decorated very nice
ly. Everybody was allowed to
place their presents on the tree and
consequently it was heavily ladened
with presents and candy. In the
rear of the pulpit was the motto
"Merry Christmas. - The exercis-
es commenced at eight o'clock and
we're of kind appropriate to the
occasion, singing of anthems by the
church choir, recitations by the
children of the Sunday school,
prayer by Rev. Goodacre, and final
ly the distribution of the presents
constituting the exercises. The
children were in high spirits all OF
the evening, which only reached a
climax when the distribution of
presents commenced. The children
of the Sunday school were all given

HIS IGHNEss WON'T BE LAME.

ring to the recent injury Of the knee Of
the Prince of Wales, discourages the fear
that the prince will be permanently lame,
and says: THE present condition Of
the princes knee argues well for the
future mobility of the joint. The royal
yacht left Cowes yesterday for chan
mel trip, during which she will visit
several towns, where the doctors pro-
pose carriage exercise. Four sailors
have been drilled carefully as bearers
to carry his royal highness ashore with
out jarring him.
1T will be a month before the prince
will be able to walk. Then his knee will
be fitted with a check-split. by which
flexion will be exactly controlled. and a
spring apparatus will perform the func-
ton OF the extensor. With the leg thus
equipped short excursions will be made
on crutches. but II will be many weeks
before his royal highness will walk un-
aided. !"

a dispute has arisen as to the iden-

the two little school rooms In Store
hall building, Cranston. 1t seems that
committeeman Balm Of Arlington gave
the job to Thomas Bell Of Cranston.
and Committeeman Clemence OF Oak

az Oak Lawn. Contractor Bell started
the work by removing the old seats
from the shanty on Dyer avenue ana

up. Then Contractor Whitman APP

from Natick, who was hired by Con-
tractor Whitman to do the work. BoIh
men recognized the truth OF the maxim
That two bodies cannot occupy the same
space at the same time. and without

PAWTUXET VALLEY.

Philip McNulty. one of the young men
who is accused OF breaking into Henry
Smiths saloon at Quidnick last spring,
and who has been keeping out of the
way OF the officers ever since, was ar
rested by Officer Riley MONDAY. ano
Yesterday was arraigned before Judge
Warner in the Fourth District Court.
He pleaded not guilty and was held in
$500 bail TO await the action of the
grand jury.
For the past two weeks Deputy Sher-
iff Lynch has been quietly sizing up
the disreputable resorts In the valley.
and his evident interest, combined with
the reported decision OF the council to
purify Warwick, has caused feeling
OF alarm and corresponding CAREFUL
ness among the dive keepers, which Is
highly refreshing after the open and
flagrant manner in which they have
violated the law and defied the officers.
A fish peddler named Jacques was
held UP. or thinks he was. on the road
between Westcott and Riverpoint last
evening. According to Jacques story,
he was returning from the shore with
a load OF quahaugs and fish. and
reached Westcott about o'clock last
evening. Ii was raining hard and very
dark. and so after refreshing himself
with second mates nip" at How
ards saloon. in Apponaug, he wrapped
himself In his oilskin coat, and putting
the reins over his neck lay back In the
corner OF the seat and allowed his horse
TO pick his own way home. All went
well until after he had passed West
cott and could see the lights in the win
dows of the houses at Riverpoint, when
his horse suddenly stopped. and.
straightening up in his seat, Jacques
saw two men standing at his horse $
head. One OF the men started TOWARDS
the carriage, but Jacques seized MS
whip and piled II vigorously on the
back of his horse. at the same time
shouting for help. The horse was sur.
prised and started on trot. but he did
not apptrhr to be any more surprised
than the men who sprang TO one SIDE
iust I'm time 20 escape being run down.
Jacques thinks that he had narrow
escape from being robbed. but IL Is
more than probable that somewhere In
either Natick or Riverpoint there are
two men who think that they had q
narrow escape from being run over by
an escaped lunatic from Howard.

tice was short, but Mrs. Vanderbilts
wish was gratifed. and the picture they
made in the drawing room last night.
