Christmas lia a.--sust,.passed, and many

to using as safe a method as pos3ible
in sending: their Christmas tokens..
As a result of" tfie" exh-a* heavy' h'uA
ness this year,., eighteen-., 1 extra, .cariers
were employed during the last three days
to help distribute. the enormous ■ amount
of mail matter.. There were also eight
extra clerks employed for the last eight
days. - ... «n».i^»»i»G J4 . .. »;.r-
In spite of the fact that the Christmas
business this year was so much-heavier
than usual, everything had been delivered
yesterday noon that had arrived, with
the exception of the registered^ mail. In
this department a number of sacks fuii
of mail arrive*!' late yesterday, Which
necessitated the office,, for"ce r in this.-' de
partment working 'tilT 'late yeste: day ■
afternoon. A special feature o£ tne ex
tra business was the fact that the in
crease was general throughout the city
to all of . the Ftitior..-, and Jte.t alone..at
the main post office. Supt. Hajlicic is to
be congratulat€d-fOß:the*rWas^-in \vJiich he
superintended the work during the -.bi.isy
season^ It is-not expected that'there
will be a very.-..heavy . rush . today, but
to guard against atiy surprises that
might arise, the ex-tpa- force-will- report
for duty this morning.
NEW MACHINE A WONDER.
Without a doubt the St. Paul office is
now better eq.uiKsed.Ahan.<evjer,.-a.5 Christ
ir.as eve was ushered in with a new Hey
& Doplin letteflrtampWg ntaeTtme;'which
it is claimed, will stamp 60,000 letters or
postal cards an hour. This is an enor
mous amount work' for-©n^m*chine
to do in an hour, but nevertheless it is
a fact. - The machine is owned by the
International Po^taJ^Sirpplj^oinpany, of
New York, and is rented to*"the govern
ment for $400 -per-ye«r. -It is -nm by
electricity and no matter : how ihin or
thick the letters of postal' cards "may be,
it runs them through aW stamps them
with a velocity that is astounding. The
first machine of this kind was put in
on March 6, last, and already there are
ninety-four in \ise" by the igoVernme"nt.
It is a self-feeder, .and . the. ent^r.e. ma
chinery of the workings, lays in a trough
filled with oil. Ev*ry T letter goes
through is registered by a counting, ma
chine, so that at rhe end of a day's work
you can tell just.tjQW many, letters, were
stamped during the day. The "new ma
chine is proving very satisfactory and is
welcomed as a Christmas gift to the St.
Paul office. ~ ' - %~z, ■ "

From 5 o'clock in the morning until
noon the Cathedral. was the center of
attraction for thousands of Christmas
worshipers. The "first mass was at 5
a. m., and other masses followed until
10:20, when the pontifical high mass was
sung by Archbishop Ireland.- "Christian
ity As the Civilizing Fore?" was present
ed by the pastor. Rev. John J. Law.er,
whose treatment of his inspiripg subject
was comprehensive in grasp and elegant
in diction. „..., ... „..,.
The choir, assisted by Danz orchestra,
-sustained its reputation-for faithful-work
in its splendid rendition of Beethoven's

in pleasing effect -the • richness -of the

more than ordinary interest attaches to
a chapter on the pasaing of the cigar

Journal says:
"pther substitutes, ...equally- grotesq-.ie
and frequently more Inappropriate, are
encountered on the streets of every met
ropolitan city. Here is to seen a
darky in shirt sleeves, and there a young
prince of the middle .ages. Yet->noither
is at all a typical of the trade, or sug
gestive of either, smoking or chewing.
The darky would be a more fitting ad

"The latter wears a close-fitting, slash

SANTA CLAUS AND DOLLS
CASTATA ni:i KHITKI) LARGE AU
IMEXCE AT CLISTOX AY. Cpi»(H.
"Mrs. Santa Claus and the Christmas
Dolls"' was the title of a pretty cantita
given last evening at th^rClmton avenue
M. K. church by the Sunday school child
ren cf that charge.
The Sunday echool embraces over 200
children and the greater part of this
number participated, their infant voices
being heard in the beautiful choruses
which were a feature of the cantata.
The part of Mrs. Santa Claus was
taken by Mrs O. P. Lorance. the child
ren grouped around her on the prettily
j decorated stage being costumed to im
! personate dolls of all nationalities and
j queer shapes. The part of S.mta Claus,
j the patron saint of all good children,
was taken by James D. -Manser.
An inspiring feature of the. cantata was
when on the rising of the curtain the
children belonging to the Sunday school
came marching in from the lecture room
singing "Kark, the Herald Angels Sing."
Their little voices, a hundred strong,
rang in aweet melody and made quite an
Impression on the audience, which filled
I every available foot of space in the
j large auditorium. <
The. members of the infant clas.* were
each made glad with a Christmas pres
ent, Mr. Hambly, the pastor, presenting 1
to the boy members a handsome iron
savings bank and to the girl members a
china cup and saucer.
The teacher and the minister were each
presented with a box of sweets. Jaseph
Dingle, the superintendent of the Sunde-y
school, was presented with a handsomely
bound bible.
The cantata was a success in every
way. and this was largely dire to the
untiring efforts of a committee consisting:
of Mesdames P. P. Bnbcock. C. 3. Da
foe and Miss Jessie Hamilton. R. T.
Wardell, the assistant superintendent,
also gave material assistance.

In BteKeeting the Toothsome Eii>ed
That Ws-'-i Served at John ■■
Wagener's l.*sst GiHeJal
Repast.
A big Christmas dinner with the accom
paniment of nuts and candy and a good
cigar relieved the monotony at the coun
ty jail yestarday, and served to remind
the forty or mora prisoners confined
there that while a cruel world haa
abridged their liberty for infractions of
its laws, yet they were not forgotten.
Each received his port-on of the tea-it
prepared by big-hearted Sheriff Wagencr,
served in the cells, and while not accom
panied with service of plate it wa.3 sub
stantial and, what Is more, enjoyed by
tho participants. Second courses were
served when demanded and each was
given his fill of the good things. At tfcc
close cigars were distributed, the smok
ers being furnished by Prosecuting At
torney Finehout.
Rogan, who is awaiting trial for rob
bing the offices of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing company, and who has given
the ofliclais much trouble owing to his
surliness and feigned insanity, was
among the jolliest of the crowd, and
did justice to the spread.
Sheriff Wagener, with the coming of
tha new year, severs his connection
with the county in an official way. Yes
terday's feast to the prisoners was only
one of his many acts of kindness.

MORE GORE TEAN GLORY.
Christmas Party Buds Disastrously
to the Host.
A Christmas part at the houseof Will
iam Oonley, 613 I/Orient street, turned
into a free-for-all fight and the host
came out covered with more blood than
glory. In the progress of the mix-up,
William Conroy knocked Conley to the
floor and Conley claims that before he
could regain his feet, James Joyce ap
peared on the scene with an ax" and
struck him on the head. Dr. Richeson
was called and on examining the man
found that he was not badly hurt, but
decided to have him removed to the
city hospital.
Lieut. Bahe with several patrolmen
went to the scene of the trouble and
arrested Conroy, who was in a very bel
ligerent mood when he reached the sta
tion, and was also bespattered with
blood. Joyce was not to be found.

REV. DR. JOHN WRIGHT
PREACHED CHRISTMAS SBR
MOS AT ST. PALL'S
JB3TJS, THE SINLESS . CHILD
Topic •. of a Sermon That L»aid
■'"' Stress on the Essoniiiillty of
a BeUeflu the Knz
arose.
: Re. John Wright, of St.Fftul's Episeo
.pal church, yesterday morning: preachd
his rst sermon since his' recovery frcm
the railrcad accident he met with tome
time-, r>.go. ' ' : "
In view of 'this fact,, and also that it
was Christmas, the church was
decorated with flowers of all kinds
and holly and evergreens.' The choir of
fifty voices Bang the new oommunicn
setting-. by Siainer, the English cemposer.
The pastor took for his text, "In the
Name of thy Holy Child, Jesus." Fol
lowing is his sermon in part:
"There is a remarkable resemblance in
the ancient religion of the East. Take
the Egyptian religion and, 5,000 years be
fore the birth of Christ, we find it lay mr
down certain doctrines which«are taught
in Holy &cnpt':re. We trace in it the
dcetilne c< the trinity, the incarr.atio.i, t..e ;
judge of the quick and dead, and t!-e
doctrine cf immortal life. . We fi;;d alo j
the doctrine of the Virgin Mother and i
the resurrection of the body. In a fainter
degree those resemblances arc detected in
: Buddhism and the religion of Zcroastcr
and Confucius. How do we account fcr
these resemblances to Christianity? Mai;
sey and some other writers have aigu?d ;
' that all religions have a common or gin,
but we cannot for a moment admit th's,
for the logical deduction of this posilioa
must be that all religions are human In
their origin. . . ; . ■ ' ... '.
"We cannot admit this for Christianity.
The resemblances have been • accounterl
for by others on the supposition that
the Jewish nation, by its early commer
cial intercourse with the nations of lha
earth, introduced the idea ofaMe*s!ah
ship. Be this as it may, the resemblances
to the Christian religion are but'su
perficial. ;--:•.'
"Without going into general ccnsidera 7
tion of the subject, take this one aspect—
the holiness of the Child Christ. He is
distinctly spoken of everywhere in
Scripture as a Holy Child in the sense of
being" sinless. This is unique. BuMha
never claimed this for himself, ncr did
his disciples claim it for him. The srms
13 true of Zoroaster, Confiicius and Mo
hammed. Therefore our Christm:is joy
is centered about a sinless child! This
makes his example complete.
"Let us teach childhood ihat it has in
Christ a perfect example. L<ot us put
into -the Christmeas joy, th:.s idea cf a
-boty childhood. Let us teach cur
.children that the more their lives ar^
brought in touch with the all perfect
life of Christ sc shall they reach highest
development of character. This Is the
great lesson of Christmas. Let U3 in
fuse the idea into all our festivities. List
iis not be carried away with the s n'l
ment of the festival or with the selfish
idea that it is the day on which we are
to receive something. But let us impress
more and more upon our youth that ro'.i
ne.ss makes character, just as it m;'.de
the character of Jzsus."
