uer of 2sth and NJ streets, mission of the
Church of the Covenant. and Of which Com
missioner Mcfarland is superintendent
had its Christmas festival last evening.
The three rooms were handsomely dec
GRATED and were filled with over 400 MEM
bers Of the school. After the opening ex-
ercises. consisting of some unusually spir-
tied singing, DR.. Hamlin made a short ad-
dress, which was followed by offerings
from the school, that is, gifts from each
class and the officers. to the poor of the
neighborhood. consisting of -four meat,
bread potatoes. cabbages. tea. coffee, sugar.
jelly, canned vegetables, etc, enough for
about thirty dinners. Stereopticon views
giving scenes from the life of Christ were
most impressively explained and enforced
by the Rev. Charles Alvan Smith, the min
lister at the chapel. .-'
At the conclusion of the exercises each
person present was presented with a box
of candy, and as the great company dis
persed the opinion was very generally ex-
pressed that the festival was the best that
the chapel had ever had.

threatening letters written by her. Myra A.
MARITIME was charged with threats in the
Police Court today. At the suggestion of
Prosecuting Attorney Ralph Given, Judge
Mills ordered the defendant committed to
the house of detention, where an examina-
ton as to her sanity will be made
In the letters one of which was written

have put curse on lawyers" and to have
expressed the wish that their children for
generations shall sink to the lowest depth,

What Food Labels Must Include

Glucose sugar refiners are the latest Of
the food product manufacturers to have a
conference with the Secretary of Agricul-
ture regarding labels. They woke up to
the situation at a rather late hour and
wanted to know about labelling their prod
ucts under the pure food law. They make
corn sugar. grape sugar. corn syrup and
glucose for the manufacture Of jams can
dies and the like They were told, as have
been all the other inquirers that the one
thing to be observed under the new law
would be to make labels that told plainly
what was in their compounds, so that the
purchaser would know he was getting
what he paid for.

Another Purchase of Silver

% Despite the recent announcement of the
Treasury Department that it would not buy
any more silver around 30 cents an ounce a
purchase of 100000 ounces was madestoday
at 70. 15S. A good many stories have ap-
peared about Secretary Shaw throttling the
silver trust, which controls the price of the
bullion In this country, but the trust goes
right along making its own figures, and the
treasury Is compelled to buy inasmuch as
the coinage of subsidiary silver must go
along at a good rate.

NEW YORK, December 2S.-The days
stock market during the greater part OIL
the business session exhibited reactioharS
tendencies in respect both of activity ana
OF price movements. For these there was
no very definite explanation unless they
mught be found in the higher rates which
were quoted for loans on call, todays
figures reaching a maximum which had not
been touched previously during the present
week. There was nothing remarkable III
that circumstance, however, In view OF the
period. and. in fact. the days figures stood
out in striking contrast with those whlcn
were quoted at the corresponding time OF
last year.
1t seemed to be the general opinion that
the irregular movements in the STOCK mar
ket were due more to the elimination or
the short interest in yesterdays rally ana
to the fact that the upward movement then
failed to bring in any new buyers tnah 10
today's comparatively small furry in the
rates for call loans. Preliminary estl-
mates of the principal movements in; cur.

count of the payment OF the first INSTALL

~Today's arrangements in connection with
the latter were again chara cterZed by
great confusion on account of the arbi-
trary decision of the st. Paul management
on the question of subscriptions to frac-
tional lots and on account of the failure
of the stock exchange authorities to com
pel some change in the methods which
have been adopted.
In the days stock market the dealings
as noted above were in reduced volume and
the movements in particular stocks did not
appear TO be influenced by any other but
simple technical considerations. In the in

tfonal strength which that stock displayed

tributed to the expectations that the an
nual dividend to be acted upon next week
would be declared at an advanced rate

woman of business as we'll. go IN
She has always been one of the most
popular of the women singers of the
world and her. concerts are always
thronged with eager listeners. Tho
same thing is true Of her operatic Der-
formances When Nordica sings there
is sure to be. splendid audience and
this is pne reason why Nordica has al
ways been one Of the best paid of the
opera singers. Then, too, Nordica has
American grit, she has iabored at her ep
art, in some measure striving to an
pease the great demands which have
been made upon her time and strength
All Of these efforts have brought to
Nine. Nordica the money which has
made her one Of the wealthiest women
Of the stage. She owns fine residence
on Madison avenue in New York CITY.
She has summer home near Ossening.
