ENDEAVoRERs' SOCIAL.

The Young Peoples Society of Chris
tan Endeavor of Pilgrim church en-
tertained the c. E. Society of the We'll
come Mission last night in the parish
house of the church. 1t was the turn
of the Pilgrim Church Society to lead
the meeting at the mission, but owing
to the meeting Of the directors that was
held there, it was decided to transfer
the gathering to the south end edifice.
A meeting was held, followed by a
social hour. during which an impromp-
tn entertainment was rendered, includ-
ing musical and other selections by tai
ent drawn from the Pilgrim Society.
One Of the most interesting features
of the occasion was an address by Per-
lie Thorn of the Pilgrim Church So
ciety. who told the visitors some rem
iniscences Of his recent trip to the
Klondike. He described the journey
which he and the party he accompanied
made, and the discomfort they expert
enced before they arrived in the land
of gold. He also told in an interesting
manner of the customs and life of the
Indian tribes and of the natural beau
ties Of the country, both there and IN
the far west generally,
A very pleasant evening was rounded
ont with games and other social amuse-
mentS.

REBATE
For Holders In
Bay State.
A RECEIVE RSHIP
That is Rapidly Being
Wound Up.

The policy holders of the Bay State
Mutual Fire Insurance Company will
be glad to learn that through the skill
full management of District Attorney
Herbert Parker, the receiver, they are
to receive a rebate of 1000 which will
be paid back to them in the same per-
centage which formed the basis of the
assessment.
The assessments ranged from 81 all
the way to $500, and those who have
been levied upon for the large assess
ments will receive the more appre-
ciable rebate. This has been accom-
plished during the great financial
stringency, and the policy holders will
consider themselves fortunate.
With the payment of the rebate, the
duties of the receiver will close, and
the affairs of the defunct organization
will come to a formal end. The be-
ginning of the cOmpany's disappear
ance from the legal ccene was wit
messed yesterday in the superior court
when Judge Gaskill allowed the petit
ton of Receiver Parker.
The petition, which was filed some
time past, was for an allowance of the
for the authority 10 Get upon the fifty
cent percentage on first claims proved
as final payment; and for instructions
from the court as to further proceed
ings in the collection of the assess
ments.
The court allowed the receivers &C.
count, ordered that the remaining 80
per cent should be paid, and that the
receiver desist from further collections
of assessments, and to settle the af-
fairs for good and for all when in the
receivers discretion it seems best for
all concerned.
The report of the receiver shows a
substantial amount Of money on hand
which will be refunded to the policy
holders. 1t is estimated that 25 per
cent will be refunded, and the work OF
paying the rebate will be carried out as
rapidly as possible.
George S. Taft appeared in behalf OF
the receiver yesterday at the hearing
before Judge Gasl1ill.

Children at Union Church Enjoy Christ
mas Novelty.
Three hundred children were made
glad last evening at the annual Christ
mas entertainment of the Union Church
Sunday school. Christmas games,
Christmas carols, Christmas trees and
Christmas gifts were the means select
ed to amuse the youngsters who began
to troop into the church as early as 6
o'clock.
The church parlors We're cleared of all
encumbering furniture and the child
rem occupied themselves with games
and noisy romps for the better part of
an hour The main feature of the even
ing's entertainment was a beautiful
boat laden with Christmas gifts, which
was pushed into the center of the room
by four boys dressed in sailor costume.
The craft resembled the swan boat of
Lohengrin. 1t was an ordinary 15-foot
rowboat covered with white cloth and
with a graceful figure of a swan five
feet high at the bow. Ornaments of tin
sci and silver gave the skiff a brilliant
appearance.
In the stern sat little Elizabeth Sibley
dressed as fairy. The four little boys
in sailor costume who formed the crew
Of the gift-boat were Sanford Sterne,
Howard Hamblin, Eddie Barnard and
Adm Southbrook. The 'gift-boat" bore
the appropriate name of the st. Mich
olas. The children were utterly unpre-
pared for the surprise that was in store
for them, and hailed the crafts appear
ance with shouts of glee. Previous to
the arrival of the boat, DR.. futile told
pretty story telling how it had sex
sail from Christmas land. The little ship
was completely filled with cargo of
every child a generous share.
The whole entertainment was in
charge of Mrs. Elizabeth Sibley Mrs.
L. c. Lawrence, Mrs. D. r. Smith and
their daughters decorated the boat.
After all gifts had been distributed the
whole company adjourned to the floor
below. where bountiful supper was
served.

SOUTH UNITARIAN.

A day late, but pleasure the more.
This was the sentiment at the South
Unitarian Church last evening when
the Sunday school held its annual OBJ
servance of Christmas, Rev. Mr.. George
w. Kent the pastor and superinten-
dent, was in charge, assisted by Miss
Florence e. Keith, Miss May Willard
Mrs. Harry Sibley. Light refreshments
We're served during the evening, but
these had little attraction compared
with the glorious mysteries which hung
suspended from the beautiful and re-
splendent tree in the corner. Each
member of the school received a bag Of
candy, a book, a chime of bells and a
balloon. The children had merry,
merry time. and gave a vote of thanks
to their dearly beloved pastor.

THE SOCIALISTS

The socialists are preparing for the Sc
ries of winter rallies, or educational meet
ings, which have been previously an

it was decided to begin the meetings of
study and investigation in the middle OF
January, to continue through the winter
and spring months, until the weather is
sufficiently warm to allow of the resump-
ton of the open-air meetings. Each one
of the leaders of the section will be called
upon to speak upon some one of the fund
amental teachings of Carl Marx the em-
inent socialist of the world, and after the
address of the evening has been delivered
there will be discussion upon the ground
taken. The social democracy of the city
under the leadership of Addison W. Barr
has already started an educational series
The meetings which have been planned

appearance, dressed in the proverbial
manner and with the pack" on his
back. This contained a bon-bon cap
for each of the children. The remem-
brances were then distributed. The

merry making incident to the spirit en-
gendered by the hour and occasion.
