Wbat Christmas 111eans
BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE, D. D.

Copyright. 1905. by Samuel J. Tucker.
 It is d great satisfaction that we can say this of Christmas And as the nations which celebrate Christmas are, in the providence of God. the ruling nations of the world. whether by force of arms or by the success of com merce. or by certain 'chirst for the horizon" which characterzes some of those races. I suppose that millions of people will engage in Christmas festivities who never heard of the Saviour of men. or having heard of Him, know nothing about Him or His birth.
 It was a very pathetic thing. a few years ago. when to those armies who were enrolled in the Boer country, Christmas day came. Without any flag of truce. without any professed agree ment, all hostility was suspended on Christmas day. Picket did not ex- change shots with picket. and for that day men did not study war. There was story, perhaps. apocryphal. of mortar which sent q plum pudding across valley two or three miles wide. Let us hope that the story is not apocryphal; or If it were a myth. let some of the many poets who will read these lines accept 1t so far as to write Christmas ode describing the flight of that plum pudding. for us to print when another year comes round.
 The Christmas of the northern na- tions is winter Christmas and all ways has been Till Captain Cooks day. and later. the Northern nations have had the principal word in litera- ture. in history. and especially in song If the queen of Sheba had court poets. and I suppose she had, the papyrus on which they wrote down their poems has long since routed. and perhaps they had some supersti- tion which prevented them from carv- ing their odes on any monoliths of their day But now, when we have the Cape Town Advertiser" and the Mel bourne "Bugle" and the Tasmania ''Chatterer" and the Dunedin Delight and the Eagle" futtering its wings

Missing Man.

Boston, Dec. 28.-With all the ar
engagements completed for his wedding,
which was to have taken place yesterday,
Robert +. Sheldon, the we'll known
official of the LOcomobile Company OF
New York, has dropped out of sight,
and his fiance, Miss Frances B. Bruce,
waited in vain for him to appear yester-
day at her home, in RJxbury, where
the wedding was TO have taken place.
Sheldon was last seen on December II,
when he was given a farewell bachelor
dinner at Shanley's restaurant in New
York, by his friends. 1t was but few
days after this that Miss Bruce received
his insurance papers and other private
documents, which were mailed to her
home in Roxbury unaccompsnied by
explanations. She hurriedly wrote to
Mr.. Sheldon, asking what the sending
Of these papers meant, but her letter
was returned as undeliyered. Miss
Bruce then went to New York and in
slituted search for the missing man, also
visiting Buffalo, Philadelphia, Balti-
more end Washington, where he has
friends, but without success. She is
now at home broken hearted.

The President in Albemarle.

Charlottesville, Va, Dec. %. -Presi-
dent Roosevelt with bis wife and three
younger children are evidently enjoying
themselves at Pine Knob, the farm of
the Presidents wife, but no word has
been received from the President since
he left North Garden yesterday. 1t Is
said to be the intention of the President
to spend the better part of the day rab
bit hunting with Archie end Kermit as
bis companions, and owing to the de-
lighttul weather, there is no reason to
believe that this programme has not
been adhered to. The nearest telephone
connection to Pine Knob, seventeen
miles from here, is the Wilmer planta-
ton, adjoining the Roosevelt farm This
line has been closed to the public and is
being held for the Presidents use should
occasion require.

End of Romance.

R. L. Payne. the father of Miss Flora
Payne, the 16-year-old Virginia girl
who went to Washington Tuesday to
marry Frederick Hume after she had
Tilted Horace Hall, arrived in Washing
ton yesterday with a friend and took
charge of his daughter, who had been
beld in custody by the police pending
his arrival. Mr.. Payne went to police
headquarters and waited there until the
police brought his daughter in van
from the House of Detention. Hall,
whom she Tilted, was al police head
quarters at the time, and when the young
woman passed him she acted as if she
was not aware of his presence. Through
the door she caught glimpse of her
father in another room, and hurrying to-
ward him, she began to cry. She threw
her arms around her fathers neck and
both father and daughter seemed deeply
affected. After u few moments CONVEX
sation she accompanied her father to
the railroad station and they left on the
III O. clock train for True Blue, Va. Mr..
Hall returned to Virginia on the same
train, and it is understood that he has
not given up hope of ultimately marry
ing the girl, with the consent of her
parents. Young Hume, who went to
Washington expecting to marry Miss
Payne after she had eloped to that city
with him, did not tarry in Washington
until the arrival of the young lady's
father.

Insurance Matters.

The statement sent by Andrew Hamil-
on, the legislative agent ofthe insurance
companies, was read to the investigating
committee in New York yesterday aud
testimony was given by Louis F. Payn,
former insurance superintendent. Mr..
Hamilton stated that he was at the head
of secret service that watched the in
terests Of the insurance companies ia all
the states. He made his payments 10
cash and drafts and had no checks to
show to whom payments had been made
The statement was apparently uusatis-
factory to the commission. Lou Payn
said he knew nothing of insurance when
made superintendent and did not know
much more now. He knew Hamilton
and Fields were at Albany to watch
legislation for insurance companies. He
wanted to have Mr. Burnham removed
from the presidency of the Mutual Re-
serve Lite Insurance Company, because
he believed him "a crook"
Judge Greenbsum granted petition
requiring the New York Life Insurance
Company to give petitioners a full list
of the policy holders of the company.
Emory McClintock was elected vice
president OF the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York.

The FACT that call loans were quoted
at 80 per cent. in New York yesterday
has naturally caused apprehension in
conservative business circles throughout
the country. The failure of the Ryan
banks in Chicago few weeks ago and
the disaster to the Merchants Trust
Company and the American Savings
Bank aud Trust Company 10 Memphis
Yesterday have added to the anxiety. A
financial panic is imminent in Europe,
and should Russia fail to suppress the
revolt against the autocracy and thereby
drain her treasury, the payment OF in-
terest on her bonds would necessarily
cease. Millions of the securities are
held 10 France and Prussia, and the crash,
now dreaded, would surely come as an
avalanche. Call loans were quoted in
New York at 125 per cent, which has
aided to the apprehension and caused
many to fear that financial troubles in
this country are drawing near.
