friends were greatly appreciated.
The program at the First Methodist
church last night was most successfully
canted out, and was listened to by an
audience of nearly 500 people. The male
choir was, perhaps, the most popular fea
ture. The collection taken for the bene
fit of the poor was a substantial one. The
church decorations were tasteful and elab
orate.
A Christmas dinner and a very enjoy
able program of music and recitations is
to be given the sailors now in this port
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock by the ladies
of the Central Methodist church.
A Christmas tree, which was heavily
laden with Yuletide offerings was the first
feature of the program at the Parkland

much merrymaking, occasioned by the dis
tribution of presents, the children of the
Sunday school rendered an enjoyable pro
gram consisting of songs and recitations.
The program at the Mason Methodist
church, rendered by the children of the
Sunday school, was interesting and well
handled.
At 8 o'clock tonight the Salvation Army
will have a Christmas tree for poor chil
dren at their hall. All present will be
remembered by gifts of candy, nuts,
oranges, toys and articles of clothing.
The program at the First Baptist church
last night consisted of musical and other
selections rendered by members of the
Sunday school. The instrumental trio of
piano, guitar and mandolin, and tEe music
by the young men and women were the
features.

four days at an institute than alone in the
entire year."

LONE WOMAN
BROKE COMBINE
DES MOINES, la., Dec. 25.—The Dcs
Moines insurance combine, an organiza
tion including some of the shrewdest busi
ness men of the city and state, is com
pelled to admit defeat at the hands of a
woman.
Miss Mary Frase, the representative of
a local fire insurance company, was ac
cused a few weeks ago of "cutting rates."
She not only admitted the charge, but de
lied the ori^inization. Her company up
held her, with the result that other com
panies followed suit. Shrewd financiers
planned for days to bring Miss Frase's
company back into the organization. Ex
postulations, threats, coaxing and other
modes of persuasion were resorted to,
but Miss Frase held firm. She declared
she would do "just as she pleased"—the
woman of it—and refused to "arbitrate."
The Dcs Moines combine will go out of
| business.

tioa] drills and maneuvers. During this
lime Admiral Dewey wiil command per-

giam the Mayflower will uccompuiiy the

prepared b* the general board of the
navy, but the important details are known
to hut three men: Rear Admiral Taylor,
