The St. Louis Republic., 1904-12-26

on Sunday there was much more general
observance Of the day. Storekeepers
clerks and mechanics who would under or
dinary circumstances be compelled to
work during a part of the day were free
from labor during the whole of Christmas
and families met together at the holiday
feast for the first time in years
Dinner parties were the order last night
and many friends We're entertained in
homes the city over.
The holiday .'heer was not confined to
the classes who were able to have Christ
mal festivities on their own account.
Through the efforts OF the charitable or
gsrizatioar. tho Salvation Army and the
Volunteers OF America. there was not a
worthy household in the entire city which
did not receive a basket o; supplies for
the dinner in addition to Christmas re-
membranes for tho littla folks.
The earnest effort of the different
bodies who assisted in this movement was
to give to ev.ry deserving family in St.
Louis sutliciency of provisions and in
many cases fuel TO make doubly true the
statement that in every home of the city
yesterday Christmas Day was indeed a
merry anniversary.
BASKETS OF PROVISIONS.
Through the efforts of the Volunteers of
America 1,20l baskets OF provisions went
into the homes Of those who under ordi-
nary circumstances would not have partici-
pated in the prevailing joy and gladness
From lists which had been made UP after
personal visits to the sections of the city
where want might be in evidence the
baskets ware gwen out and the result was
a happiness that cannot be estimated.
BY the Salvation Army similar work
was effected and supplies of food and fuel
together with gifts TO remind the little
cneI that there was really something to
Christmas were sent directly into those
homes where necessity demanded.
Through the efforts of the st. Louis Star
a fund was raised by popular subscription
which secured TO- the children u no fill the

Washington, sailed for Italy today
on the steamship Siciiia. The fact
that Archbishop Falconioin departs
from the country on the eve Of the
arrival Of Cardinal Satolli, who is
expected to reach New York within a
day or two, has excited some com
ment, but in church circles 1t 10 tsaid
to be without significance. 1t 10 ex-
planned that the apostolic delegate is
paying a visit to Rome in compliance
with the regulations Of the church.
not having visited the vatican since
he was appointed apostolic delegate
to Canada five years ago. At the same
time 1t is an open secret that the
two eminent prelates who have held
the same post at Washington are not
in entire accord in their views on
several questions affecting the church
in America, and 1t is regarded as
quite natural that Archbishop Fall
COMO should wish to be absent from
Washington during the visit Of Car
dinal Satolli, who comes as a special
representative of the pope, in order
that his eminence may have a free
hand in transacting such business as
requires his attention here.

UNDRESSED BOOMERS

Fire broke out early this morning in

near the bridge. After a quick run the
fire department soon had the fire under
control and prevented much damage

Yet up, when the alarm was sounded.
half-dressed people ran frantically in
to the street and then dashed back
into the burning building in an endea-
vor to save their belongings.
1t is believed the fire is of incendiary
origin from the fact that it was set
at just the same spot where it started
once before some months ago. This
was under the steps between the apart
ments of Mrs. Becker, the landlady,
on the south side, and butcher shop.
Between these two rooms a stairway
runs to the floor above. The fire was
well started when it was discovered
and the department called.
The Enterprise has many rooms and
all were occupied. 1t was more luck
than anything else that the place vas
saved without mortality.
