CHRISTMAS FOR THE ORPHANS.
\ Great Tree ami All sorts OF Toys at the

Long before daylight yesterday the 100
little folks at the Catholic Orphan Asylum
began to plead with the sisters for a glimpse
of the wonderful tree and Santa Claus
downstairs. All the little boys and girls
attended mass at . O'Clock. and half an
hour later were ushered into the big play
room, where tree that touched the ceiling
filed one of the corners.
There was tiny representation Of the
scene in Eethlehem,s land above this was a
wax angel, lointing 10 the silver star with
one hand and with the other showing the
way to the stable where the lbabe lay.
There were many new toys and others of
costiiier make which were bought last
year to satisfy children OF the rich.
A splendid tree was prepared for the
eighty Juvenile prisoners al the rooms Of
the Children society. The little ones wal, ing
on charges or already convic, ed of wrong
doing and those whose trouble is the crimes
of their parents were feasted and enriched
with playthngs the like of which they had
never beheld outside the counters and
windows of stores. There were fourteen
discharged children who asked to be kept

CONVENTION HISTORY.
Peculiar Facts OF National Nomina tlOn
and Election.

The only Presidential and Vice-Presi-
dental candidates ever nominated by a con-
vention in which both we're delegates were
Garfield and Arthur, in the Chicago con-
vention of 1880. When the convention
met, their names had hardly been men,
toned as possible nominations.
Horatio Seymour was the only presiding
officer of a national convention ever nomi-
mated for the Presidency. The convention
was held in New York in 1868.
Thomas A. Hendricks, an avowed cam
didate for the nomination for first place on
the Democratic ticket, was a delegate to
both conventions in which he was nominated
for second place--n St. Louis in 1873 and in
Chicago in 1884.
Mr. Mckinley. while presiding over the
national Republican convention in Minne-
apolis in 1892, was voted for for the nomina-
tion which Mr.. Harrison received Four
years later, Mr. Mckinley was nominated
by his party in the st. Louis convention.
Mr.. Roosevelt was member of the Phila-
delphia convention which nominated him
for Vice-President in 1900. Ii has been said
that he almost wept with anger because he
was forced to accept the nomination for
Nice-Prcsident. If SO, it was not the first
time in the history of national conventions
that the Vice Presidential candidate shed
tears.
In lS4o John Tyler was n delegate to the
Wing convention which nomir ated William
henry Harrison. He was a worshipper of
Henry Clay, who was a candidate for the
nomination which Harrison received.
Mr.. Tyler was not candidate for the
second place. He devoted all his time to
shouting and working for Henry Clay, and
when his candidate went down before the
hero of Tippecanoe John Tyler wept like
boy in the convention.
One month after the Inauguration of
the man whom he had done his utmost to
defeat in tho convention, Tyler succeeded
him as President
Some peculiar and interesting political
facts connected with the Vice Presidency are
not paralleled by any connected with the
Presidency. Thus:
If Mr.. Webster had accepted the nomi-
nation for second place either time at which
it was rendered he would have become
President by succession.
If Mr. Butler Of Massachusetts had ac-
cepted the nomination for second place
in the convention which renominated
Lincoln he would have succeeded to the
Presidency. 1t has been related that The
convention was ready to give Butler the
nomination unanimously, but that he
positively refused 1t.
The man who received the nomination
had hardly been mentioned in connection
with the Vice Presidency, and it, is still a
question whether his nomination and ac-
ceptance was not n mistake. Certain it is
that Andrew johnson was the only Presi-
dent who ever went out Of Office under a
cloud
Six Presidents died in Office. The
first two, Clinton Of New York and Gerry of
Massachusetts, died in the Administrations
Of Madison. The others were King Of
Alabama, in Perce's Administration; VIII
son of Massachusetts, in Grants; Hem
bricks of Indiana, in Cleveland's, and Ho-
bart Of New Jersey, in Mchnley's.
The only Nice-President who ever re-
signed was John c. Calhoun. He served
less than three months of his term.

MERELY A SOCIAL CHRISTMAS.
Father PardOw Fears We Are Forgetting
the Days Religious ASPECT.

The Rev. William O'Brien Pardow, the
we'll known Jesuit orator who preached on
Catholicity and the age at the Cathedral
last spring, and who has left New York
for st. Andrew ont he-Hudson, preached
his first sermon yesterday since his de-
parture at his old church Of st. Ignatius
Loyola. Father Pardow took for his text
the passage He came unto His own and
His own received Him not He applied
this to the present generation, and said
that the true spirit of the Christ mastide
has been practically ignored by the null
ttude.
What kind of Christmas have we In
our day?' asked Fa'h Pardow. "Is it
not true that the worldly and merely holiday
side of Christmas has far outstripped it's
religious phase?
Very many people who are wishing each
other Il happy Christmas to-day. do not
really fully believe in that great event
which alone makes Christmas what it is:
born in Bethlehem 1900 years ago. Many
preachers of to-day will contend for a
morality not resting on RELIGIOUS dogma,
nav, will use the words Christian teaching
and deny the virgin birth of the teacher.
As has truly been said remove the miracu-
o,ls from Christianity and the whole struct-
ure totters. for then we have only human
religion, not much beyond that Of Buddha
and Confucius.
THE danger attending all our Christmas
thoughts, is the fancy that Christ has done
everything for us. He has only given us
the power to do. Hundreds of thousands
of gallons of water course down Niagara
Falls. There is enough power to ilhmine
the darkest night. But it will not ilumine
one single nook or corner unless that power
be turned into the proper channel. So 1t is
with the power of the Babe of Bethlehem.
We must accept Him as the one infallible
dogmatic teacher
