FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.

The Christmas exercises for this
Sunday school were held on Monday
afternoon at four o'clock, and were
given for the junior school. The at
tendance was large, and everybody
enjoyed to the fnllest the happiness
manifested by the children. The
program was long one, but it was
80 ably rendered that nobody thought
of getting tired. Each little partici-
pant showed thorough training. San
ia Claus entered with his pack, much
to the delight of all, after which the
two heavily ladened trees were soon
stripped of their treasures, and 16O
little hearts. were made glad with a
gift and box of candy. There were
dolls, books and medallions for the
girls; books, boats and games for the
boys. No effort on the part of parents
or teachers was spared to make the
exercises success. The big hearts
made glad were too numerous to
mention.

The accustomed Christmas services
were held on Christmas day. There
was the Morning prayer, sermon and
holy communion. Appropriate music

pirate manner. Monday afternoon

Christmas tree with a present for
every scholar.
In the evening beautiful Christ
mas cantata entitled Santa Claus
Mistake or A Bundle of Sticks was
we'll rendered by scholars from the

and much credit is due to the COM
mittee in charge of the same.
CHRISTIAN.
At the Christian church the tree,
donated by H. F. Cramer, loaded with
gifts for the children, made beauti-
full scene. Mr.. Geo. Whipple was in
charge of the exercises and Mrs. l. F.
Dawson presided at the organ. The
program of songs, solos, recitations
and exercises was admirably rendered
by the younger members of the
school. After which the presents

made happy by the short visit from
Santa. A small contribution for the
needy was brought in, which has
been put into the hands of the Asso-
ciated Charities for use.

CHRISTMAS ATTHE CHURCHES

Parties Abounded.-The Church

1
the Center Of Attraction.
Christmas. 1900, will be remem-
bered by Cahonites as red letter
day in the history of festivities. In
every avenue of life arrangements
had been perfected to make glad the
hearts of young and old, and if one
might judge anything by happy faces
success attended every effort.
The churches were of course the
great centers of attraction; there
fiocked the old and the young. The
large auditoriums had been prettily
decorated with fragrant blooming
plants and evergreens. punched and
festooned in artistic manner. There,
too, were the huge Christmas trees
fairly groaning under their weight Of
attractive decorations and unnumber-
ed gifts for the young, and in many
instances for the older ones.
The programmes of song and Of
recitation had been prepared after
many hours of incessant yet pleasant
labor. Each participant seemed to
realize that it was his or her oppor-
tunity, and acquitted themselves in
graceful form. The character oi
Santa Claus was especially well car.
ried out in each instance.
The distribution of prizes with its
attendant joy in the young hearts
and faces paid amply for all the toll
and worry in the preliminary work.
In the home parties the groups
were small, and composed of intimate
friends and relatives.
BAPTIST.
A very large congregation Assem-
bled in the spacious auditorium at ar
early hour, and by eight o'clock the
church was filled to the doors to en-
joy the festivities of the evening.
The tree was large one, and beauti'
fully decorated with lights and other
attractive attachments. The tree
was none to large to hold the pres.
ents intended for distribution. In
deed it looked too small, but like the
widows cruise of oil, it held out un.
til everyone present had been sup
piled and made happy. The musical
selections were unusually well render.
ed and much enjoyed. The recitations
by the children were charming, and
reflected much credit on their in.
structors.
TRINITY ENGLISH LUTHERAN.
This Sunday School rendered a
creditable Christmas exercise appro-
pirate to the great festival, in which
not Santa Claus, but Christ, was ex.
alted. There was the time honored
Christmas tree tastily decorated
Above the tree was suspended large
star, SO arranged that the light be-
hind it brought out the words: "a

sides the usual treat each scholar
received sack filled with native
grown black walnuts-quite novelty
to many. The congregation and Sun
day School remembered the pastor
Rev. D. B. Smith, in substantial
way.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special to the EAGLE.

Special to the EAGLE
The reason for the very marked
friendship shown by the admins
tration towards Great Britain in
the South African struggle has
been made plain by the signing of
a treaty between the two countries
formally abrogating the clause in
the old Clayton Bulwer treaty by
which Great Britain claimed the
right of dual control over the Nj
caraguan canal about to be built
by the United States. AS a piece
of diplomacy on the part of Great
Britain it ranks with the greatest
efforts of all time. By it, that
country permits the United States
to build the canal at its own eX-
expense and to operate, police and
control it, holding it neutral for
jhe ship ps Of all nations, both in
peace and in war. The United
States agrees to put up the money
and to execute all the above tasks
and further agrees not to fortlfy
either the canal nor lis approaches.
Both nations agree TO observe the
neutrality of the canal, but the
United States pledges itself not to
fortify either the entrance nor the
approaches. The result is that
Great Britain has the canal built
at no trouble or expense to herself
and if she ever goes to war with
this country, she can send hel
overwhelming fleet to Nicaragua
sieze the unprotected, undefended
canal, use it go as to hurry hel
warships from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and harry both our coasts
and at the same time prevent any
American war ship from passing
through. There will be no trearh
cry in this, because all treatie!

Pauncefote treaty will be no ex

shall build huge navy, th,
chances are that any war will
Great Britain would end with tin
latter as owner Of the canal. Oh
1t is a lovely stroke of diplomacy
for Great Britain. The worst par
of the affair is that the Clayton

= GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.


lie OTtO hlCdn ldTll Dlll Will
be taken up in Congress some time
this week and the hottest sort of
fight is likely to be precipitated.
The crucial question is whether
Congress can establish a tariff for
that and other islands differing
from that of the United States.
The Constitution provides that call
duties imposts and excuses must
be uniform throughout the United
States" The Ways and Means
Committee, which reported the bill,
holds that Porto Rico is not a part
of the United States and that this
provision therefore does not ap-
ply. The Committee says: "That
Congress has power to govern ac-
quired territory Independent of the
limitations Of the Constitution, but
in cases where the territory has
been acquired for the purposes of
Statehood Congress would be sub
ject to those fundamental limita-
tons in favor Of personal rights
which are formulated in the Con-
stitution and its amendments, but
these limitations exist rather by
inference and the general spirit OF
the Constitution, from which Con
gress derives Ill its powers, than
by any express and direct applica-
ton of it's provisions" In other
words, the Republican Committee
contends that the Porto Ricans are
not citizens of this country; that
they are not entitled to trial by
jury, habeas corpus, freedom OF
the press or of speech, or to be
secure against unreasonable
searches and seizures, They may
be granted all this, but they have
no real inalienable right to it. In
fact the committee holds that they
have no rights except those tha
the President or Congress may
please to grant. Either of these
can establish any form of Religion
it pleases, can permit polygam!
and slavery Gas the President ha
already done in Sulu) or can pro
hibit it. The Democrats, on th,
other hand, contended that th,
people Of the islands are entitled
to all the privileges of Unitc'
States citizens. The issue is there
fore made up between constitu
tional liberty and autocratic rule
between the Republic and thu
Empire. The debate may well b
interesting, as it concerns the fat
of millions of people.
