CHRISTMAS
SERVICES AT
The FIRST M. {.

The Christmas program Of the First
NJ E. church was given to a more
than crowded house last evening. The
large auditorium was beautifully dec
GRATED with streamsTs Of evergreen
and clusters Of Oregon grape. The
balcony railing was completely hid
den with FIR bOughs and the choir
platform was almost entirely flled by
two large Christmas trees. Silver
stars were hanging from all the pos
sible places and as they swung and
turned, sparkled beautifully as the
lights played upon them.
Almost without exception, the pro-
gram was given by the Sunday school
children. Their first dialog, repre-
senting the arrival of children from
other lands who told Of their own
Christmas time. was particularly
pleasing and Instructive. The cos
tunes were especially good
But the feature Of the evening was
the arrival Of Santa Claus, who came
sliding down the chimney with his
large pack Of good things, to MI the
hearts and the stomachs Of the little
fellows with Joy. Not single child
was forgotten and for once in the his
tory of such entertainments, there
was enough to go around and to
spare.

BURKHARDT
DOES FINE BIT
OF SLEUTH WORK
TRACES ENDORSEMENT OF TIRE
CHECK TO BERT WARFORD
AND ARRESTS HMM PORT.
LAND-OFFTCER DOES SOME
CLEVER SLEUTH WORK AND
LOGICAL REASONING THAT
GETS HIS MAN.

When Day oficer Burkhardt Sat
urday evening arrested Bert War
ford, former mailing clerk at the state
house during the legislature, just as
he was entering the Imperial Hotel,
at Portland. he completed as clever a
piece of detective work as has ever
been executed in this city.
Warford is charged with extracting
from the mail a check belonging to
Miss Elizabeth Lord, and yesterday
afternoon practically confessed to the
officers. The check was sent TO Miss
Lord by Frank Meredith, secretary
of the State Fair Board, to cover a
premium of $15 for flowers she had
on exhibition during the fair. Miss
Lord never received 1t, but In the
course of time it came back to the
secretary apparently properly en-
dorsed by her, and also containing
the endorsement of Bert Chimm. A
few months ago the case was turned
over to Officer Burkhardt. Learning
that Warford had been entrusted with
the duty of mailing the letter con-
tanning the check, his suspicious were
directed toward him. He secured
samples of his handwriting, and it re-
sembled so strongly the endorsement
on the check, that he decided to ar
rest him.
Warford, when confronted with the
charge maintained that he was inno-
cent, but afterwards admitted his
guilt, and offered to settle provided
the case against him would be drop
ped.

STREET CAR

FAIRS" PLEASE

December 30th, the last Saturday Of
the year, is the time; and 1t cannot
come too soon for the streetcar boys,
for that is the date of their big feed
ad general blowout Several COM
mittees have been appointed and
nothing will be left out that could in
any way add to their amusement.
Charley Farrell, chairman of the hall
and lunch committee has arranged
for both of the halls over the Capital
drug store and there will be things
doing when they all meet thre for the
big time.
They have adopted a novel scheme
to insure the attendance Of every
member; for those who stay away
will be fined 50. Those who do moi
bring wife or sweetheart will have
to pay 81, but if they come and bring
companion, admission will be free
Not many of the boys intend to be
fined.
One of the large rooms will be fit
ted up for a banquet hall, while the
other will be reserved for games and
dancing as the pleasure of the guests
may suggest D. N. Miller, of the en-
tertainment committee has been rum
aging through old books and new
ones and the revelers will perhaps
not lack amusement The things they
are going to have to eat would take
a column to describe and the carmen
will probably fast for a couple Of
days so they will be in shape to
take on as much as possible.
Local Manager Hamilton is to be
the postmaster and he has promised
to give some of the boys subjects that
will make them stutter So If some
of the cars are late on the following
morning Just remember that 1t Is the
morning after" for the street car
boys.

Tips for Travellers.

II brides-to-be wish to earn the
everlasting gratitude Of their prospective
husbands and at the same time save
themselves a great deal OF personal annoy
ance and inconvenience, they will pack
their trunks for the honeymoon with two
thirds clothes and one-third discretion.
OF course every bride wants to leek her
best on her bridal tour. and the tempta-
ton to take all the pretty things of the
trousseau is almost too big to be resisted.
On the other hand. she wants the trip to
be perfectly harmonious. Nothing SO dis
concerts man as to have to dash around
trying to locate stray pieces Of extra lug
gage. Baggagemen and draymen are
none too accommodating at best, and
of caring for it becomes a positive bur-
den. Especially is this the case in Europe,
where high rates are charged for extras,
and where hours are spent on station
platforms waiting for luggage. livery time
a border is crossed the contents of bags
and trunks are paved over by government
officiels until the harassed owners are
only too happy to leave them checked by
the wayside, to gather them up on the re-
turn journey.
Select one good. roomy trunk and fill It
with wearable things, such as will stand
the strain of travel. Just because a thing
is practical does not mean that its posi-
bilities for attractiveness are gone. This
rule of reducing the luggage to the small
est possible amount will be found useful
not only for the bride. but for travellers
everywhere. 1t will tighten the discorn-
forts OF journeying and add vastly to the
10y of q trip, no matter what the cir
cumstances of the traveller.

Coronation Materials.

1t is interesting to note the influence
of the coronation on American styles.
One Of the newest revivals due to this
English festivity is the old-fashioned
brocade which our grandmothers used
to wear. 1t is a favorite material for
a coronation robe. and for this reason
has met with general favor
The new brocades. however, while just
as rich in appearance as those our
grandmothers used to wear. are unlike
them in that they have the softness and
suppleness of satin. The stiff and heavy
Of long a go are entirely eclipsed
by the beauty and quality Of the pres
ent examples. Gold is cunningly inter
weaved with some of these brocades,
the result being truly gorgeous and,
incidentally, extremely expensive. Some
wonderful gold tissues are woven with
coronation colors. such as royal blue,
purple. pink, etc. and also in pale grays
and black, the black and gold effect be-
ing particularly fine.
