CHRISTMAS AT The CHURCHES



tLons Catching FIRE.
The Christmas exercises at the Ne
thOdist church were 8 credit to thE
teachers and little ones OF the Sunday
school
The tree vas prethIy decorated and
large white star, dotted With light
ed candles, adorned the vail above It.
The church was crowded with friends
and relatives Of the little folks, the
aisles being jammed with those who
came too late to get a seat
FPhe festivities were marred, however
by the usual Christmas FIRE, only this
time it was not the Whiskers Of Santa
Claus but the star Of Bsthelem which
went up In smoke.
A candle, burning Low, ignited the
cotton star and IN q moment il was q
star Of fire. It was hastily jerked from
the wall and held alOft on q pole until
lit had burned out The tissue paper
drapings caught also, and the teachers
and older pupils we're busy putting
out the flames.
The children, who had occupied the
front seats, ran screaming to ward the
door and some Of the older people
joined the stampede.
The fire was soon put out and cOnfid-
ence restored, and as no serious dam
age had been done and no one hurt,
the program proceeded peacefully.
At the Christian church Sunday
night therewas a sacred concert which
was we'll attended and was a success
from a musical standpoint. On Christ
mas eve they had Christmas tree and
a cantats. The entertainment was we'll
attended and very enjoyable.
The Sunday school Of the Episcopal
church was given a pleasant Christmas
tree entertainment on Christmas eve
at the church.
The entertainment at the Wolfrum
school house, in district Is. on Christ
mas eve, was a decided success. An
interesting program was rendered by
Mrs. V. ". Goodrich, the teacher, and

district No. a. The numbers were in
by instrumental music fur
nished by Mr.. Tagtmeyer, John and
George WOlfrum and John Garden.
The hearts Of the little people were
gladdened when the beautiful Christ |
mas tree was stripped Of its strange
foliage. Everyone present had all the
popcorn, peanuts, candy and spples !
they could dispose of. No one in the /
was forgotten, and the /
true Christmas spirit reigued supreme. |
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodrich merit much /
credit for their indefatigable efforts to |
please the children and make the |
evening one to be long remembered.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA despatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from
Shanghai says:
Col. Meade, of the Marine corps, has
received by native courier a message
wrapped in pigskin signed by Minister
Conger as follows:
Help at once, if at all. Besieged in
British legation. No government Pc
kin except military chiefs. who are de-
termined on destruction foreigners.
The Shanghai correspondent also
says that in the papers Of the vieeroy
at Tien Tsin was found a receipt for
one hundred taels paid to the Boxers
for the head Of Maj Waller, of the
United States Marines. who was killed
at the first battle OF Tien Tsin.
The Rev. Dr. Evans, an English mis-
sionary. searched theYamen Of the Tien
Tsin vicerey and found in his private
papers full accounts OF the doings OF
the foreign forces during the siege
with lists of killed and wounded
He also found promises OF pensions
TO the families of all slain Boxers. He
found receipts for arms and ammuni-
tion from the village. This is proof
of the official nature Of the Boxer move
ment, and also of the treachery Of
some one in the ranks OF the allies
The Chinese left five million taels in
treasure in Tien Tsin.
From trustworthy native source
it is learned that Gen. Ma was murder
ed by a Boxer. There are 10000 troops
at Tang Ysun, under Gen. Sung; 49,
600 at Pei Tsang under Gen. Tung
Fuli-Siang; 10000 at Pekin already
