In THE CHURCHES
Elaborate Services feSter-
day i'm CommemOrdtiOn
of the Christmas
Season.

Not for many Sundays have the
churches of Richmond been SO well
filed as they were last evening, the
attraction being the elaborat te Christ
mas services which had been arranged
by the choirs and pastors OF the
various places of worship. and all
were well repaid for their attendance
by hearing some very fine mu-ic
splendidiv rendered Having a place
peculiar to itself. the best of church
music is heard in Richmond only ou
occasions of this nature, and it is an
opportunity everybody embraced.
Over half of the churches had
special music or a complete SER
vice in honor of the day Those
which did not will observe the occa-
sion during the present week or on
Sunday next, due notice OF which
viii be given.
At the First Presbv terian church
there were special musical features
both morning and evening and large
congregations The selections were
many of them classical, and handled
in superb style by the excellent choir
and organ supplemented By an or
chestra and solo talent.
At Grace NJ E. church in the
morning the sermon by Mr.. Kemper
was an excellent one and the music
was of high order. Owing to the
illness of the organist, Miss Ollie,
the orchestra and piano with Mrs.
Gennett presiding supported the
choir, to good effect.
The Fifth Street NJ. E. church
devoted the evening to a pro-
gram by the choir which drew
a large congregation who were much
pleased
Th., Firs, English Lutheran church
choir are always depended upon for
something fine on all such occasions.
and yesterday fully sustained their
excellent reputation. Combined
with the most appropriate services
by the pastor, Rev. kapp, they made
a service that was simply per feet.
At the First Baptist church there
was special service, rendered in a
fine manner The regular Christ
mas festivities of this church occur
at 7:30 tomorrow evening.
The first NJ E. church choir treated
their congregation to a very fine
program. The fine organ, With or
chestra and strong chorus choir,
rendered a program which for variety
and excellence of selection and rendi-
tion challenged the admiration OF
all.

PIANO MAKERS.
They Will Be Treated to a
Dinner at the Factory
Tomorrow.

The dinner to be given the en-
ployes at the Starr Piano works to-
morrow at noon was intenGed TO oc 8
surprise by the management to the
men as a token of their appreciation
of the faithful service rendered by
every man in the concern during the
past wear, which has been SO pros
porous with them, but some one has
lea a'sed and so the surprise feature
has been abandoned.
Tomorrow is the regular weekly
pay day at the factory. The men
will be paid in the morning instead
of the afternoon and at IL o. clock
the factory will close down and all
the men will be assembled and treat
ed to a grand turkey dinner with all

season and the men have been kept
busy all the time at good wages.

Mrs. Vim. T. Noble.

After an illness of i've days, Mrs.
VIM. T. Noble died Saturday even
ing, passing from life with the warn
ing of only few moments. The at
tending family ard relatives were
shocked with the suddenness of their

ter of Judge and Mrs. VIM. A.

Dewev's Opinion.

That clause in Admiral Dewey's
opinion in the Schley case which
says that Schley was in command
at Santiago and is entitled to the
honor of the victory has been crlti-
cised as extra-judicial. The criti-
cism comes, of course, from those
who are not pleased in any respect
with the minority report Of the
Court Of Inquiry. The great ma
joritY Of the American people who
have hoped for finding on the
part Of the entire court favorable
to Schley gladly accepts this just
statement from the Admiral with
out any quibbling about the legal
proprIety.
Unquestionably, the friends Of
Rear Admiral Sampson did all they
could to keep this question from
being brought within the scope q
the Courts Inquiry; the precept did
not include It, and the tendency Of
the Courts decisions during the
progress of the trial appears to
have been to confine the inquiry to
matters touching Schley's conduct
before the battle and the loop made

Drowned at Dresden

Mrs. Laura Lemmous and little
son, aged years, came to Dresden
Saturday evening and stayed all
night with friends. During the
night a heavy snow had fallen,
making travel almost impossible
But about about 8 o'clock they
started for home, a distance OF
about three-quarters of mile.
When within 100 yards of home
they came to a creek and made an
attempt to cross, but both fell in,
The boy got caught in a deep place
behind log and was drowned. The
mother managed to get out OF the
water, but in trying to catch to a
barbed wire fence tore her hands
and arms frightfully.
The morning being very cold and
"a fierce north wind blowing there
was not any person passing along
the road until a late hour, and the
child had been dead about two hours
when Chas. Gardner came along
and found them. He came immedi-
ately to town and relief commit
tee went to the scene Of distress.
The body Of the boy was carried
to a house near by to await the
funeral and burial, which will take
place to-day.
Mrs. Lemons is resting very

The Weather.

The weather, at this point Tor the
past few days, has been record
breaker for December, the mercury
registering from six to ten degrees
below zero. Water pipes all over
the city have burst, and there came
near being severalserious disasters
from the bursting of pipes in cook
ing ranges, T. F. Stubs range
blew up, and the fire box was COM
pletely demolished, but fortunately
no one was in the kitchen at the
time, the cook being in the pantry.
Mr.. Dezonla did not fare so we'll.
The pipes in his range had frozen,
and when the fire.was hot enough
the pipes exploded, tearing the
range TO pieces, and injuring slight
ly the negro cook on the head and
leg. The windows in the kitchen
were blown out, and nut struck
the ceiling and broke the plank.
The escape of the cook was almost
miraculous.

block the way of the others-was
not carried out. "A clearer case in
Schley's favor was proved in this
particular than had been expected.
And It was proper thing and a
courageous thing on Admiral Dew
ey's part to state it in his opinion
proper because the evidence
showed it, and was due Schley that
there should be some authoritative
statement on so important a point
in his favor. The public expected
il. 1t was courageous because the
Admiral assumed responsibility
in making the statement, when,
under the rules Of the Court. he
could have shirked it. It is clear
that he did it through a strong
sense of duty. A weaker man would
have been too jealous to declare
that another living officer of the
navy was entitled to credit for an
achievement as great as that Of
Manila Bay, and the chief officer Of
the United States navy IS removed
from any demagogic endeavor to
curry popular favor
Aside from any finding of the
Court in minor matters. it stands
of record that Dewey SAYS SchleY
was in command at Santiago and
won the victory. The other mem
bers Of the Court have said nothing
III their report, however derogatory
to Schley it may have been in other
respects, that contradicts this inn
portant, this paramount conclu-
sion. That Schley displayed "rn-
steadiness of purpose, made mis-
takes or even disobeyed depart
nient orders before this battle was
fought was Of small consequence in
the light Of that glorious consum-
nation aud that great achievement.
