CHRISTMAS.

CHRISTMAS.
HOLIDAY OBSERVED QUIETLY IN
THE SlTY-CHURCHES AND So
CIETIES CELEBRATE-HOME OBJ
SERVANCES.
There was a narrow escape from a
green Christmas in the city. On
Christmas eve a light fall of snow
rcmedied the deficiency and a pure
white mantle an inch deep lay on the
ground Christmas morning. 1t was
thankfully received, for a green Christ
mas is a failure-except in the tropics.
The observance of the day in the
city was quiet. The churches cele-
brated Christmas eve with Christmas
trees and appropriate exercises. The
little folks were remembered and IN
joyed the visits of Santa Claus. At
the Presbyterian church there was a
fitting program as follows:
Organ Prelude.
Professional.

served the church holiday with appro-
pirate ceremonies, at all Of which
there were large a~ttendances.
The Knights Templar enjoyed their
usual toasts to and from the grand
commandery at Masonic hall. At the
same hour as nearly as can be reck-
oned. knights Templar all over the
world rise and toast the grand COM
mander of the order. 1t is a pretty
all over the world, and was
observed by Commander Hoskins and
the local knights at 1890 Christmas
morning. Fitting responses were
made and the occasion a pleasant one.
In the homes about the city there
were the usual observances. Turkey
dinners were the order, and the spirit
Of Christmas was everywhere mani
fest. The day "a beautiful, warm
with just a crisp freshness in the air.
1t was a pleasant and enjoyable Christ
mas day.

AGAINST
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THE
CAPE NOME MINING CASES

CAPE NOME MINING CASES
AGAINST RECEIVER M'KENZIE.
\ dispatch from Washington to the
Minneapolis Journal says: The SUI
preme court today, in the case of Alex
ander Mckenzie and Robert Chips,
involving the r~eceivership Of the Nom
mining claims, ordered the action tC
show cause discharged and dismisse;
the Mckenzie petition for a writ OF
certiorari from the circuit court of ap
peals for the ninth district. No opin.
ion was filed, Chief Justice Fuller sim
ply announcing the courts action
which in effect declares that the cir
cult court of appeals at San Francisco
has jurisdiction. Mckenzie has been
%adjudged in contempt of that court
for having violated the supersedeas
issued by it when Chips appealed the
case from Judge Noyes' court.
The circuit court of appeals can now
take such action as it sees fit pending
a decision on the appeal. Mckenzie
has relinquished possession of the
claims but still has about 100000 in
gold in his possession, mined during
his receivership. The supercedeas is
sued by the circuit court Of appeals
restored the claims to the condition
they were in prior to McKenzie's ap'
pointment as receiver. Today's de
cision upholds the supercedeas AM
Mckenzie will now have to pay tn
gold to the former holders of tn
claims.
Court officers and attorneys her
say Mckenzie will have to return t.
San Francisco and show cause why h
should not be punished for contempt
It is probable that the statemen
that Mckenzie still has 100000 !
gold in his possession is an error. Tn
gold has been in safety deposit vault
!, subject to the order of the court.
