abused by many. Feasting, drinking,
debauchery only too often make the
day one of sin and sorrow, instead of
happiness. This is surely not an evil
dence of Christian spirit. They ought
to be kept holy; domestic felicity
ought to be made to shine promi-
nently. The evening ought to see
every member of the family gathered
round the hearth and partaking in a
fitting celebration of the day.
The young men. in particular,
ought to give thought to this. Christ
mas is day in which we ought to
be reminded of our own childhood
days and on which we should think
of the words of our Lord that If we
be not like the little ones we shall
not enter the kingdom of heaven"
High mass was celebrated again at
the Main Ave. and st. Joseph
churches at 1890 a. m, and at the
college and Sacred Heart church at
10 a. IN. Midnight music at the col
lege was furnished by the scholastiCs,

was rendered by the children of the

be served and in the afternoon there
will be a reception to the tenantry
and probably skating on the lake. The
Christmas dinner will not be served
until o'clock. At table the king
and queen will occupy central posi-
lions facing each other, the other
members Of the royal family and the
guests being seated according to
precedence The roast of beef, which
this year weighs 10 pounds, will be
borne in with the usual quaint cere-
monies of the time Of Henry VIII.
In accordance with timehonored
precedent, the plum pudding will
weigh an even hundred pounds. and
will decorate the center Of the table,
resting upon golden platter and dec
GRATED with holly and mistletoe.
While the guests are assembling an
orchestra will render a Christmas
carol and the national anthem. The
king himself will do the carving. At
the close Of the dinner the toast will
be drank by the company standing to
the memory of the late Queen Vic
toria, and his majesty will then toast
in order the prince of Wales, Great
Britain and her colonies, and her
loyal subjects. Before rising from
the table the company will pass
around the loving cup, while the din
ing hall will resound with the strains
of "Aauld Lang Syne."

Among the busiest people of the
city today are the members of the
Salvation Army. At their barracks
last evening a Christmas tree and an
interesting program were the features
for the Sunday school. every member
of which received a gift At the con-
Clusion of the exercises all present
took hold with a will and prepared
the potatoes for today's dinner for
poor men and, as it is expected that
several hundred will be fed, this was
no small task.
Early this morning the work of
preparing the dinner began and at
1870 everything was in readiness.
Two long tables extended the full
length of the hall, capable of seating
10 persons at a time. The menu was
plain but substantial. consisting of
meat. potatoes, bread, butter. coffee
and pastry. Up to O'Clock 800 had
been fed and still there were provis-
ions sufficient for many more.
Brigadier Harvey was busy yester-
day afternoon. and this forenoon in
sending out packages of food to the
poor families of the city. Yesterday
30 families were supplied, not only
with the necessaries for a fine Christ
mas dinner, but with enough to last
for some time. and today $50 more
were given an equal amount. In all,
provisions have been supplied to
about 800 people besides those who

children and grandchildren, King Ed

their Christmas at Sandringham,
their majesties' favorite abode. San

While, as prince and princess of
Wales, they occupied in turn many of
England's historical palaces. man.
sions and country seats, yet it was
at Sandringham they spent most of
their time, and it's beautiful buildings
and extensive grounds are fraught
with memories of many of the most
enjoyable of their experiences.

King Edwards gifts this year run

Midnight services in commemora-
ton of the hour in which the divine
Saviour was born were held in all
the Catholic churches this morning.
The choirs were composed of the best
local talent that could be secured,
and. as usual, large crowds, repre-
sentative of every denomination, as
sembled to listen to the rendition OF
the beautiful Christmas music so
characteristic OF the Catholic church.
Long before the beginning of serv-
ices the seating capacity of the Main
Ave. church was filled, and at II
o'clock the crowd became so dense
that it was impossible for those who
arrived at that hour to get inside the
door.
An elegant sermon on the feast was
delivered at St. Joscphs church on
Dean ave. by Rev. Father Chianali,
s. j., professor of theology at Con
zaga college. During the course of
his remarks he said:

which took place as usual in the
beautiful Hall of Shells. None of
the children were allowed to see the
inside of the magic Saal until they
were admitted into the blaze of the
white candles with which the tall frs

elder princes having attained man
hood at least in their own eyes, there
were only five trees this year, prin-
cesschen's being the smallest, as
usual. but it was the one on whose
decoration the kaiser had spent the
most pains. No one was forgotten
in the distribution of gifts, the kais-
err, especially, making n point of pro-
viding surprise presents for every
one. 1t is understood that the kais-
