THE CHRISTMAS NO JOKE.
Not Much Fun for the Shakers Who
 Had to Confess Their Sins.

Not Much Fun for the Shakers Who Had to Confess Their Sins. The great Shaker fast day was the Sunday before Christmas. Their theory was that the words Peace, goodwill
 to men," should be taken literally To this end, writes a Shaker sister In Good Housekeeping, a day was set apart when all grievances must be
 settled, whether against man or fate.
 The rising bell rang at 4 o'clock
 on this morning, and we were dressed
 and ready when the half-past bell
 summoned us to go to the meeting
 room or hall, where We had our ser vices, during the winter when 1t was to cold to use the meeting house.
 We stood In rows while the elder brother read the orders for the day. Then some one would be inspired by the spirit of prophet or of Mother Ann, or of one of the early elders, to eXhort the faithful very much in the manner of a medium to-day.
 The exercises lasted for an hour. during which we either stood or knelt After that we dispersed to do the ne- cessary work of the day. The breth- ren fed the stock and milked, while the sisters made the beds and cooked the breakfast, which we ate, as usual, at half-past 6.
 As soon as the meal was over we went to our sitting room to retire This simply means that we sat in two rows, perfectly quiet, our right thumbs folded over our left, and medi- tated on the sins which we were about to confess
 If any one nodded or fell asleep, as was apt 10 be the case when We got up so very early, she had to stand by her chair for the re- of the hour. At the end of that time We were allowed to read sacred book or do any religious writ ing, but all that day we were forbid den to sing hymns or to talk together.
 At l2 we marched silently down to the dining room and ate our dinner of bread and water, Sometimes a sister would so far transgress as to sprinkle l B little salt on her bread, which was sin must be confessed with the rest. rest.
 The afternoon was spent llko the forenoon and all through the day, one after another we were sent for by Eldress Joanna, to make to her the ' most heart searching confession of the whole twelve months.
 We told her our trials as we'll as our sins, and there was no event of our simple lives which was too insig-

That sterling drama "The Two Orphans" is to hold the boards at the Bijou next week This famous play of Miss Kate Klaxton's will be given "a grand scenic revival It is without any doubt the best melodrama offered in tn epart thirty years and moreover has been given the distinction perform ance by an all star cast.
 The run of the piece at the New Amsterdam theater in New York ere ated a sensation in the theatrical world. In the cast were such actors and actresses as Grace George. who played Louise, Kyrle Bellew, William Holland, Warner the English actor and Mi1s Otis, A complete scenic equipment has been prepared and new and elaborate costumes secured. insur- ing a complete presentation. The story of the play is too well known to need rehearsal It is play that has never failed to appeal to playgoers in this city and should draw the largest au- diences of the year
 Gertrude Shipman is cast in the part of Louise, a character which she has played with entire success in the principal cities and she will no doubt score as great a success as ,.he has the present week in Carmen"

nificant to consult her about. It one sister had had some disagreement with another a reconciliation was arrang- ed.
 If one was discontented, if she felt i'll, if she thought the household duties allotted to her were more than her share, if the deaconess in charge had not allowed her new clothing when she thought she needed it, this was the time to set forth such trials, that the eldress might adjust matters, and that not an unkind or repining thought might remain to mar the harmony of the holy Christmastide.
 We must confess 1t if We had been late in rising, at meals or at devo- tions, if we had had any partial feel ing for a brother, if We had wasted anything, if we had hung a pair of sisters stockings next to brothers shirt when we put out the wash, if we had longed to get letters from, or to write them to our relatives and friends outside the fold, if we had taken any pride in our personal appearance, or
 " we had stepped on a threshold.
 This last may seem a venial offence, but 1t was one of the sacred orders that we should step over threshold, not on it. There was an excellent req son for this, of course
 So many careless feet would soon wear down threshold so that the cold air would pour in under the door, and this was no small consideration in the winter, when the halls were about as cold as out of doors. Moreover, worn threshold spells the appearance of a room, and it is a great deal of work to put down q new one.
 Such detailed confessions consumed a very long day, and it was dark and suppertime before all were finished. Af- ter tea we were ready to creep, quietly to bed.

Congress authorized the diplomatic gold medal dedicated to Peace and Commerce., and intended for presen- tation to foreign diplomats assigned to our Government who marked their stay with us by acts of good will. The medal was issued twice, to the Mar quis de la Luzerne in 1791 for con- tracing large loan on his own re- sponsbllity to relieve the distress of the Continental army in 178O, and to Count de Monstier. French Minister to our country in 17S7
 Medals in gold and silver were pre- sented to the officers and men of the French, British and Spanish ships of war who aided in rescuing the officers and men of the United States brig somers which was sunk in the Gulf of Mexico in 1S46. Gold medals bearing the portrait of James Buchanan were given to the Japanese envoys who came to the United States in 1860,
 Again in 17S2 Congress gave medals to foreign notables who aided our in- fant republic. Benjamin Franklin in the same year mlnted and distributed in Europe a medal in honor of the achievement of American liberty. Eighty-six merit medals have been struck by this Government since it's Foundation.
 The United States is perhaps the only great country which does not cherish the spirit of chivalry by gov ernmental emblematic recognition, the virtues of great learning, states manship, religious distinction and ar- tistic genius. We revere the memory of few of our illustrious dead in the Hall of Fame Why may we not as a nation appropriately recognize the great civic, military or religious worth of our eminent living citizens?"

WANTS AMERICAN ORDERS.

Suggestion That Uncle Sam Reward
 Service With Decorations.
 A plea for American orders of chi 7alry is made by Capt Cassilly Cook in Army and Navy Life.
 During our Colonial period" says Capt. Cook, our Government gave emblematic recognition of deeds of valor and patriotism. In the present day, under mistaken impression that decorations are monarchical and con- sequently undemocratic, we no longer award such honors, but even dis courage the merited comforting of them by foreign Governments on our distin- guished men.
 The late Secretary of State, the Hon, John Hay, shortly before his death, expressed to the writer his opinion that in addition to the medal of honor and a few other medals awarded-for conspicuous bravery in the service of our country, Congress gress might create emblematic orders to be conferred upon citizens of the United States and upon foreigners who had attained distinction in art, science, literature, the learned profes sions and military and naval service.
 Our Congress has awarded medals to foreigners for meritorious service to the United States. The first recipi- ent was Lieut.. Col. Fleury, a French army officer, who entered our Re- Volutionary army in 1777 For hero ism at Stony Point, July 15, 177S, Con- gress voted him a silver medal
 John Paul Jones, though foreign CT, served the Colonial Government. In 17S7 Congress awarded him a gold medal in commemoration of his cap ture of the Serapis.

 led Manager Poli to engage it for a
 tour of his circuit. The act deals with life in a cheap lodging house in the Whitechapel district of London and
 the various characters are depicted by
 carefully selected dJmpany of fif-
 teen people. It is a comedy creation
 and doees not in the leailt attempt to
 teach lesson, It merely gives an
 idea of how the other half lives in
 these cheap London boarding houses
 It has been greater success than
 Karno's A Night in an English Music
 Hall which last season made such a
 hit in this city.
 The act is a pantomine, not word is spoken but the actions of the yari- ous participants when closely watch ed will afford one many laugh, throughout the presentation. Billie Reeves will be with the troupe in the character of Bill, an East Side Bully. | The playlet is in two scenes, the first showing an East Side street in Lon- don and the seGond the lodging house | in the Whitechapel district The cast includes policemen, millionaireis, land lords, newspaper waifs. nuisance to the police.

 An interesting fact in connection With ''The Clansman" is that Mir Dixon's views on the race problem are almost identical with those held bv Abraham Lincoln Although President Linc1ln's speeches were carefully edit ed by interested parties, so that cer- tain passages relating to the race problem were eliminated in the pub iished editions. it has recently become known that Mr, Lincoln had he lived would never have consented to the en- franchisement of the negroes. He clearly recognized the fact that there could never be any political or social equality between whites and blacks.
 By a curious coincidence last sea- son "The Clansman' was presented in Springfield H.. on Lincoln's birthday. Commenting on this fact the State Register of that city continued, "Pre- sented in Lincoln's old home to au- diences that filled the opera house aft ernoon and night to it's utmost capac- ity Thomas Dixon, jr's, powerful rlay was cheered to the echo and SCOT ed one of the greatest successes ever achieved by play in Springfield

 An actor of consummate skill, MT. Mantell presented the moods of the Duke of Gloster afterwards Richard III. in manner which brought him continued appreciation, although none of the audience could applaud the theme. lAs art it was beautiful, as the play is not exalting in morality except in the downfall of the tyrant and the conquering of the good.
