WrlLUen Ut the time by the editor of THE NUGGET. There were many dinner parties and while turkeys were not as plentiful that year as they have since been, good cheer was abund- ant, and the people were joyous and happy. Nome was very young town then, and ambitions and hopes had not been blightsd, and the day of factional strife and petty bickerings had not made its appearance.
 The children-there ware even then quite a number in Nome-were given a Christmas tree and an entertainment in St. Bernard's Church (the old Li- brary building), immediately opposite tho Nome General Hospital. St. Ber- nard's Church has since become the First Congregational. The following excerpt is taken from an article refer ring to the occasion:
 "The Christmas tree and entertain ment given to the children of St. Ber- nard Church was one of the most en- jOyable of Christmas events. A real, live spruce tree, brought all the way from Golovin bay by Rev. D. J. Elliott, was loaded down with suitable present for the little ones. Santa Claus, ad- mirably represented in the person of Deputy Marshal James H. Lee. arrived on sledge drawn by reindeer, and he created no end of amusement. A num- Der of natives were also present and shared in the good things"

A story is told of the late Professor Shell, of Amherst College, which re- lates how he once asked for definition of the solar corona from a member of his class in astronomy. The young man. after a good deal of hesitation, and a dread consciousness of impend- ing failure. plunged desperately into the statement that he did know what the corona was but had forgotten.

TO APPROPRIATE
$4,000, 900 FOR ARSENAL

Appropriations aggregating $4,000,
600 are to be maze by congress for
the purpose of replacing the store
house destroyed by fire last week at
Rock Island arsenal, according to the
Chicago Record-Herald's Washington
correspondent, who adds in a dis
patch to his paper today that plans
are being made for immediate re-
building of the burned structure.
Maj. Stanhope f. Blunt, command
amt at the arsenal, when asked today
concerning the appropriation, stated
that the above dispatch probably COW
cred both the building and the con-
tents, for which an appropriation
win be necessary. Maj. Blunt states
that he has recommended that the
building replacing the one destroyed
by fire, for which an appropriation is
desired. shall be of modern construc-
ton, with steel beams and Orders to
do away with the heavy stone walls,
such as the old buildings have. He
also wishes to have the new structure
of fireproof construction and with
three fireproof division walls. These
modern features would of course en-
tail somewhat heavier cost than the
erection of building similar to the
old one would.
