HAD A BIG TR
Visit of Santa to Central
Union Children.
Sunday School Scholars Given la
Pleasant Evening Candy
and Pop-Corn.
Fully a thousand people, big an little,
crowded into the Sunday school parlors
of Central Union church last niht. It
was the happiest, merriest time of all the
year for the little people and for the bi?
ones too.
Santa Claus was there. And a f?ood old
Santa Claus he was, with his long-, shaggy
beard and his comical manner of talking
to the little ons. lie came riht out of
the Xorth with his heavy robes on, and
yet some were mean enough to say that
he lived in Honolulu and bore the nam.
of a well known youns man, Mr. 15. L.
Marx. However, Santa Claus was there
and had brought a present for evt-ry child
in the house. He brought a tree from
Tantalus, too. a beautiful evergreen, and
loaded it with gifts and sweet meats,
with silver and golden colors set in a
glare of light.
Then after the presents were distrib
uted and all the little hearts were beat
ing happily everybody had a dish of ice
cream, with cake, and the papas and
mammas gathered together and watched
the glad-faced children and talked of the
days when they were little ones and loved
thu happy Christmastime.
Each child was given a box of candy
and a string of popcorn, then, after
many "good nights." the little ones were,
taken home and the good, old-fashioned
Christmas festival was over.
ON A ROOF GARDEN.
Surprise Party at F. W. Beards
lee's New Home.
A pleasant surprise was given Mr.
F. W. Bearslee in his new quarters at
the Arlington annex on Hotel street,
last evening, by friends from the Ha
waiian hotel. Mr. Beardslee has fitted
up a most attractive roof garden in
connection with his offices, and his
friends have been waiting patiently for
the completion of this garden in order
to give the genial host a bouse warm
ing. Early in the evening Mr. Beards
less was enticed away from his rooms
and in his absence Captain Taylor and
three daughters, with Mrs. Bradbury,
all of San Francisco, together with oth
er friends, took possession. They turn
ed out all the lights and soon after the
unsuspecting victim entered. The
guests were seated on the roof garden,
each armed with some musical instru
ment, and at the entrance of Mr.
Beardslee, every one struck their sever
al instruments and rendered a selection
that could only be equalled by Herr
Berger and his famous band.
The surprise was complete and was
only the beginning of a very enjoyable
evening. During the stay of the guests
they were entertained by solos from
all, including the host, who rendered
some of his best vocal selections with
guitar accompaniment. Every body
voted the roof garden a success and
after congratulations to Mr. Beardslee
on his cosy surroundings, the merry
guests took their departure with a cor
dial invitation to make this the first
of many such occasions. During the
evening the roof garden was lighted by
many Japanese lanterns, which lent a
charm to a very pretty picture.
Ciiicograph Rehearsal.
Manager Clement an-1 Operator Cam
ion bal press people nntl a few friends
it the Opera House l;st evening for a re-
K-arsal of tonight's Cineograph and mus
eal program. There are peores of attrac
tive films anil all of them are new here
ind the very latest out in the States.
Xotable pictures are the explosion and
wreck of the U. S. S. Maine, the Guan

The singers are Mr. Preston, the tenor,
and Mr. Weaver, the basso, and they sing
new songs well. The picture machine is
one of the highest grade. Kverythlng is
clear and bold and large.
OVERHEARD OX THE STREET.
First L.ady It's such a surprise to
me to hear so many of the natives
speak English so fluently. Why, back
n Massachusetts where I was brought
up there are over thirty thousand of
the population, American born, who
cannot speak, read or write the Eng-
ish language.
Second Iady Just fancy!
Third Lady Yon really don't mean
it? I thought it was bad enough in
Ohio, but that beats it.
First Lady Yes, it's a fact
Second Lady Oh, how beautiful!
First Lady It is perfect, isn't it? It
really makes me homesick. Arn t
those brownies dear: the expressions
on their faces are awfully good.
Third Lady But how is such a con
dition allowed to exist? Are you sure
there are as many as thirty thou
sand?
Second Ladv Just look at the ice
pond, and the snow man and actually
there is a Christmas tree in the house!
Why this must be Waterhouse's win
dow that-we have heard so much
about. Let's go in.
Third Lady Yes, but tell me, those
thirty thousand
First Lady Oh, pshaw! they are all
children under two years of age.
