Her Majesty Suffered From a Chill,
But Condition Is Not Serious.
London, Dec. 24.-London's already
gloomy Christmas season received a
deeper tinge yesterday in the report
that Queen Alexandra was i'll. To
the report was attached the diplomatic
rider that this illness was not serious.
This, however, did not lessen the pub
lie anxiety, as it was said on the au-
thority of well informed sources that
the queen was more seriously i'll than
had been given out. Doctors were
said to be in constant attendance upon
her majesty A bulletin said that
the queen was suffering from a chill
but that her condition is not consid
cred to be dangerous. It is expected
that her majesty will be able to leave
her room in a few days.
The extensive arrangements made
for Christmas festivities at Sandring

HOW SOME OFFICIALS
WILL OBSERVE THE DAY

Christmastide, with its usual festivi-
ties and good cheer, brings joy to those
who labor for the city's welfare, as we.l
as to those who are blessed so that
work is not necessary.
Mayor George NJ. Fisher will eat his
Christmas turkey happy in the thoug'nr
that, although City Council is a trifie
shy in financial matters, that the city
in general is in good financial condi-
ton.
Charlie Blaine, as he is known to
all his friends, president of City COun-
ell, has not decided, as yet, whether
goose or turkey is the proper foul tC
devOur on Christmas Day. Mr.. Blaine
is OF the opinion THAT members OF
Council, are good fellows, only thai
there Is one more Democrat than there
should be.
City Treasurer Seth H. Feaster has
bought a large turkey, which he vii
partake OF at noon tomorrow. AL
though the fowl is large enough to hole
the missing bonds" Mr.. Feaster is o
the opinion that he cannot stuff hi!
turkey with them, as their whereabout
are unknown to him.
City Auditor John Boughman hal
one Of the largest turkeys in the city
AS "a matter of fact Mr.. Boughmal
says he tries TO be fair during 364 day
of the year, but on the 365th he must b
fowl"
Andrew A. Cahill Secretary of oh
Board of Health, eats his first Christ
mas dinner as a Benedict. AthOug
his offices overlook the King stree
market, and he should be familiar wit
the produce sold, his friends say tina
when he bought a turkey it shoul
have been hen, not a "gobbler."
Chief of Police Eugene Massey Is
a quandary whether he should pyle
turkey or goose upon his table tomol
row. Both are acceptable to the chic
but which to obtain he has not decide
upon.

Gifts are lovingly interchanged, in re-
membrance Of what st. Paul calls the
unspeakable gift" Of Jesus Christ
Bishop Hall thus salutes the auspicious
day:
Immortal Babe, who this dear day
Didst change thine heaven for our clay,
And didst with flesh the Godhead vail
Eternal Son Of God, all hail!'
As Bishop Spalding, of Colorado, says.
That birth is the pivotal point Of time,
on which all before or after in some
way, Immediately or remotely depends.
We reckon time by the years Of our
Lord. 1t is a beautiful German custom
at a birthday feast, to place cake OH
the table, with a candle burning ON it for
each year of the honored life. so each
passing year of Christianity lights new
hearts and new nations as Christ 'th'
true light" shines farther and farther
over the dark earth.
The twenty-ifth chapter Of Isaiah de
scribes the coming Gospel days as a spir
itual feast and the wise man makes d
cheerful heart "a continual feast.
| Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are to sit al
the heavenly banquet with Christ's peo
pie. according to His words and III
styles the heavenly feast of the redeemed
"a great supper" and tells His apostles
that they may eat and drink at His table
in His kingdom. Then the true feast a

worship, the Lords supper; and he whl

RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE

The word Christmas means Christs
feast. On joyful occasions it has been
the custom in all lands and all ages that
relatives and friends should meet to-

fed with pleasant food, that the body,
the twin of the mind, should have its
share Of enjoyment.
Both Jews and pagans associated the

monies. There is something delightful in
the thought of the relaxation i'm which
congenial spirits meet to share the food
of hospitality. when care is laid asid,
