CONOORDIA'S MERRr CHRISTMAS
Celebrated In Jolly Style at Mozart
Hall Last Xi K h<.
Last night a notable transformation scene
occurred at Mo2art hall, when the large and
spacious hall was turned into a kindergarten
by the St. Paul Concodria society. The oc
casion was the celebration by the society
of the twenty-third annual Christmas tree
festival, by the society. An excellent pro
gramme had been arranged, which opened with
an overture by the orchestra and was fol
lowed by the full chorus of the ConcordU,
which sang an evening prayer chorus in a
most excellent manner.
Prof. B. W. Boenisch was then introduced
and delivered a special address for the chil
dren, of whom there were a large number
present. Prof. Boenisch told of the yule tide
festival, dating 'back to the birth of Christ
He entreated the children to always remem
ber their ancestors and never be ashamed of
them. Pointing to an American flag, which
hung in the center of the hall. Prof. Boen
isch admonished them to be always loyal
to the stars and stripes for it was those col
ors that had made their nacestors and
fathers loyal and patriotic citizens of the
American government today. In closing his
address Prof. Boneisch quoted Goethe as
follows: "Wle f«ichtbar ist der klainnse
Kreis wenn manihn wohl zu pflegen welss
Troustoted means."— "From small spheres
great things can be accomplished if done
well."
' After the close of Pro-f. Boenisch's speech
the Conco.-dia society sang the "Eerstis
lieder" (the first song) and as the chorus
was about to retire. President L u:s B=rnback
called upon them to halt. The president
addressed himself directly to Prof. L. W.
Hormsen and, in a few well-chosen words
said the Concordia desired to show their ap
preciation of the excellent work and labors
of the professor, who has been the director
of the society for the past fifteen years Mr
Bcrnback corelcdel his rtmuks ty proven Ing
to Director Hormsen a beautifully finished
oak leather, upholstered rocking chair. Di
rector Hormsen was greatly surprised. He
said that, though he had always been well
paid for his services, still he could not re
frain from expressing his surprise at this
token of the ai>preclation of the society. He
hoped they wculd still c:nMnue t) succeed and
progress In the future as they had done
during the fifteen years of his connection

with the society as director. His birthday, he
said, fell on Friday, Dec. 31. but owing to
the large number of young ladles present he
would not say how old he was on this oc
casion.
The visit of Santa Claus and the distribu
tion of prizes from the Christmas tree which
adorned the center of the hall followed, and
for one hour and a half the hall was filled
with the merry prattle of children's voices.
Several prizes belonging to others than chil
dren were drawn from the tree, among which
was a toy faucet for Anton Miesen a corn
cob pipe for ex-Aid. Kartak, large stamp for
William Platte, a gallon measure for Theo
Hamm, a box of old stamps for John Fendell
and a paper desk for Prof. Boenisch. Dan
cing closed the evening's programme which
continued until the small hours of the morn
ins.
Henry Vogea, a prominent member of the
Concordla society, who is at present confined
to his home by illness was remembered by
the society. They sent a committee to his
residence carrying a large box of flowers
and conveying their regrets at his inability
to be present

Preceding the entertainment Rev.
Patrick Danehy, of the faculty, deliv
ered the following address of welcome
to the monsignor:
Your Excellency: The St. Paul Seminary
bids you welcome. We are honored to-day by
the presence in our halls of a distinguished
assemblage of bishops, priests and laymen.
I know that I do but give utterance to the
thought that Is uppermost in the mini's of
all when I tender you a most cordial wel
come. In greeting your excellency— the ac
cred'ted representative of the sovereign Don
tiff — we bow to the supreme authority and
honor the venerable person of Leo XIII.
We who dwell In this Western world may
seem to be far from Rome. By the presence
of your - excellency, however, the iies that
bind us to Rome are strengthened, :he dis
tance that lies between Is brought to nothing.
Today KcttS is In Minnesota, beholding you
here, the center of this august boly of bish
ops, we realize fully the undying vitality and
divine unity of the Catholic cliurch, whose
head and center is in the city by the Tiber.
Rome was great. Indeed, and her name was
feared when of old her legions subdued ihe
Western world. Her eagles perched victori
ous In every land and beneath every sky.
Her laws became the code of the peoples cf
three continents, because those peoples had
become Roman. There was but one realm
and one ruler.
Honor still greater than this, a truly heav
enly glory, was still in store for her. She
had been Imperial, she was to be eternal;
"the city set upon a hill that cannot be hid."
She became the center of Christendom. The
halo of undying luster that encircles her
brow was won for her by her great pontiffs.
Men marveled when Leo and Gregory and In
nocent and Urban sat in the chair of Peter.
The barbarian was civilized, letters and tha
gentler arts flourished, the poor had the gos
pel preached to them. For beneficence not
less than for length of days Rome's paat is
without a peer in history.
Her deeds today as well as the promise
of her Divine Founder give her assur.ime
of a future equally matchless. Her bishops
are in every land, her missionaries speak
every tongue, her cross-crowned oTiurches
stand by every river, and her schools en
lighten every people in the world. Never
was the household of. -the faith more truly
one than It la today. " The pulsation of the
heart that beats at Rome ts felt to the onds
of the earth.
The work that has ev^er been dearest to the
pontiff of Rome is the work that is done in
the seminary of Ss. PauJ. Leo XIII. from the
earliest years of hfs pontificate has shown the
deepest interest In education, and especially
in the education of the clergy.
It must be so. Under the care of an en
lightened and zealour- clergy the lamp of
faith burns ever bright. Religion exert 3 her
gentle, but potent away over the heart of
man and all that, la ignoble i 3 subdued. The
Infirm, the homeless and the orphan receive
from a hand that mJSiisters to them for
Christ's sweet salte th 4 tenderness that they
had scarcely dared to hope for. Then blooms
in the garden of the cfiurch heaven's fairest
and most lastini fiWer— charity. Without
the constant minmrati<ms of the clergy the
works of religion languish. Faith Itself
grows dim, flickers, and dies. In the dark
realm of unbelief serflshness, most hideous
of tyrants, reigns supreme.
The Importance of the work of the semi
nary is well understood in the Northwest.
The bishops of the province of St. Paul, with
the archbishop at their head, are untiring In
their labors for its welfare. With the bishops
the clergy and the laity co-operate most
generously towards Its advancement. We are
happy to cay, too, that many bishops outside
of the province show their appreciation of
the advantages offered to clerical students
in St. Paul, by sending their students to this
seminary.
I need not tell your excellency that our
seminary Is indebted for its beautiful and
spacious buildings to the munificence of a
citizen of our own city. From the day of
its inception h!s interest in I'.s welfare has
never flagged. The happiness of tho present
occasion 13 made complete by the presence
of this noble Christian gentleman and his
■most estimable consort. I salute with respect
and gratitude our friends and benefactors
Mr. Jamea J. Hill and Mrs. Mary T. Hill.
As an expression of gladness at your pres
ence and a testimony of their high regard,
our students have prepared a programme
of simple exercises to which we trust you
will be pleased to listen. We all, professors
and students alike, desire to make your
stay among us as happy as possible. We
wish you to carry to your Eastern home the

LETTER. FROM ALASKA.
Silas Van Horn Writes From Bit. St.
Ellas.
Last summer Silas Van Horn, of 596 Can
tida street, formerly in the employ of the Chi
cago Great Western road, left for Southern
California to engage In the nurse ry business.
When he arrived on the coast the parties he
had anticipated going Into business with had
the Klondike fever, and had It bad. The re
sult was that Mr. Van Horn Joined with them
and started for the gold fields. His wife had
several letters from him during the fall, but
was Informed in the one received In Septem
ber that she might not expect to hear from
him again before the spring of 1888- Mrs.
Van Horn was agreeably surprised a few
days ago to receive a leter from her hus
band under date of Sept. 13. The letter,
dated Disenchantment bay, says that Mr. Van
Horn, with a party of eleven persons, were
beyond reach .of postofflce routes, and the
letter was sent back by a mislonary who wa3
going to Yakutat. The nrxt day, Mr. Van
Horn said, the party would bid good bye io
civilization. They had started for the head
of White river, north of Mt. St. Ellaa, near
where. It was expected, gold would be found
In good quantities. As soon as enough food
could be cooked the party would commence
to climb the glacier, which covered about
forty miles. Sleda had been built for tho
purpose, and the goods and supplies carried
by the party would be packed on the sleds.
It was hoped the Alaska river would be
reached In twenty days from the date the
letter was written. Reaching there, a halt
would be made and prospecting for gold
would be in order. If none was found the
party would work on north until a strike
was made. The glacier the party Is to cross,
Mr. Van Horn writes, had been traveled only
twice before by man, and If they.^ere suc
cessful In getting across It, tfra party ex
pected to become somewhat famous on this
account. Mr. Van Horn wrote his letter In
camp at the foot of the glacier, and he de
scribes the ice as cracking with a noise like
heavy thunder and falling into the bay. It
had rained hard for four days, and the party
had stopped to dry their clothes before pro
ceeding. The point from which the letter
was dated had been reached by taking a
steamer from Sltka to Yakutat. and from the
latter point they had rowed in an open baot
over fifty miles. As It had rained hard for
four days all the party had been wet for that
length of time, but he, as well as the balance
of the crowd, were getting used to rough
life. For three days they had lived on salt
beef and hardtack, and coffee when It was
possible to build a fire to cook it The night
the letter was written a fine supper had been
prepared consisting of fried bacon, hot coffee
and hardtack. There was no wood In the
country, and what they used to build a fire
had been carried from Sltka. As Boon as
tho glacier had been crossed, however, wood
would be plenty. The wind, Mr. Van Horn
says, blows a gale, and the cold Is so in
tense that he put on all his heavy clothes
and flannels.
GOODNOW TAKES A WIFE.
According to «* Shanghai Dispatch
He Is Married.
A telegram to the Qlobe last night an
nounced that John Goodnow, consul general
of the United States at Shanghai, China, wa3
married to Elizabeth Beaver, at Yokohama,
on Dec. 7. Although there Is no direct infor
mation to that effect the bride Is supposed to
be Miss Abble Gordon, with whom Mr. Good
now was charged by his second wife, Mrs.
Flora Powers Gcodnow, with being too inti
mate. At the time of the trial last April
Miss Gordon testified that her real name
was Elizabeth Hunt, whtah she was known
by up to the time she became 18 years of
age. She further testified that her early life
had been spent in the town of Hosmer and
that she came to St. Paul in I&S6, went to
Minneapolis in 1894, and returned to S>. Paul
in less than a year. Later she moved up to
Minneapolis again.

the conference committee. The candi
dates for building Inspector are Charles
F. Arrol, A. F. Gauffer. S. H. Haas and
Gates A. Johnson Sr., their positions in
the race being about in the order nam
ed. One of the aldermen, who claimed
to know what he was talking about,
said last evening that Arrol would have
ten votes on the first ballot and possi
bly eleven, which would land the prize.
The question of selecting the official
paper for 1898 promises to be rather ex
citing. The trades and labor assembly
has passed resolutions requesting that a
committee from the council be appoint
ed to listen to grievances the labor or
ganizations have against the evening
organ of the administration. The res
olutions sent to the aldermen and as
sembly were received and filed without
reading. This action was reported back
to the trades and labor assembly, and
a committee appointed to go before
the council and protest ajrainst the
evening organ being made the olficial
paper next year. Whether the council
will stand by the agreement reached in
caucus last January that the morning
organ should have the printing one
year and the evening organ the next,
in the face of opposition from the labor
organizations remains to be seen. Some
of the city officials are of the opinion
that the morning organ is seeking to be
selected as the official paper for next
year and that the kick on the part of
the trades and labor assembly against
the evening organ is part of the scheme.
Mayor Dor^n is these days receiving
all kinds of advice as to the appoint
ments he should make on the water
board and fire board. His ofllce was
well filled yesterday from early in the
morning until after 5 o'clock with the
friends of the various candidates men
tioned. His honor, although evidently
much annoyed, received all callers with
a glad hand, listened attentively to the
words of wisdom and advice poured
into his ears and promised each and
every one that the name of the gen
tleman mentioned would be given
serious consideration. It was reported
that the mayor had selected the three
new fire commissioners in the persons
of Assemblyman O. H. Arosin, Theo
dore G. Walther, vice president of the
Hackett Hardware company, and W.
R. Shaw, the West side lumberman.
Private Messenger Miller, it is stated,
took a "peek" at the names and, after
a consultation with Jailer Jake Stad
field, of the central station, informed
the chief executive of the city that in
order to avoid trouble in the next con
vention it would be well to revise the
list and In the place of one of the
names Insert that of some German-
American. This Information apparent
ly had considerable weight with Mayor
Doran, for late yesterday afternoon the
name of W. R. Shaw was scratched.
Private Messenger Miller is "plugging"
for George H. Schiler, the St. Peter
street barber, for the appointment, but
it is understood the name of the third
commissioner to be appointed will be
selected from the poll lists of the Fifth
ward.
A number of persons interested !n the fire
department not being made a political ma
chine have raisod the i.oint that, under the
Dalltmore bill, passed by the last lefrlsla
ture. Assembly Arosln is not eligible for ap
pointment. The law reads as follows:
It shall be unlawful for any person here
after elected to any of tho folowing offices,
that Is to say the office of councilman, as
semblyman, or alderman In any city, or. the
office of county commissioner in any county
in this state, to hold any other office In such
city or county during the term for which hn
was elected or appointed, except an office
elective by tho people in the district wherein
iie shall have resided thirty days previous
to such election.
The law was passed and approved April IC,
1897, but as it specifies that only those "here
after elected" shall bo barred from picking up
appointments the point raised against tho
First ward assemblyman is not considered
well taken.
A very enthusiastic politician from tha
Fourth ward, in speaJcing of the appoint
ments to be made by the mayor to the firo
board last evening, had this to say: "The ap
pointments no doubt mean that Chief Jackson
is to be ousted. But I want to bet any man
in St. Paul. Republican or Democrat, that
George W. Freeman will be rcappointed to
the fire board, and that John Jackson will
be restored to the head of the fire depart
ment when Mayor Doran's time Is up."
• • *
The Republican politicians have been
figuring up the number of positions in
the water department which would be
available in case the deal now being
engineered goes through. The plan Is
to have the commissioner to be ap
pointed to succeed H. E. Stevens join
with Commissioners Wolterstorff and
Hoyt and elect Mr. Hoyt as president
of the board in place of R. B. C. Be
ment. This action, it is figured out, will
cause the resignation of Mr. Bement
to be tendered as a member of the
board, and Mayor Doran will then have
the naming of another member. This
will give the Republican politicians
who are interested solely in the dis
tribution of "pie" a chance to discharge
all the present officers and clerks em
ployed in the department and farm out
the positions for the best interests of
the grand old party at the coming elec
tion. The word passed around the
mayor's office yesterday was that J.
M. Carlson would succeed Mr. Stevens
as a member of the commission.
