Again the clad season of tbe year baa
come, when the hear of all, bat tbe
ycung especially are made happy by the'
festivities of the occasion. While we
would not bring a clond acroes tbe minds
ot the young or the old, we think our
way of celebrating this glad season is not
appropriate, to say tfcte least of it. In
stead of rejoicing over tbe birth of the
P.'inceof Peace, the usual festivities
would indicate that the natal day of the
God of war, or the heathen, orgies of
B.tachus, or rites to the God of pleasure
were being celebrated.
Let us this blessed Christmas and Sab
bath morning turn away from the usual
revelry and think ot the higher and holies
blessings which this day suggests.
Peace on earth, and good will to man,
was tbe glad song or tbe angels oo the Ju
dean hills, when His birth was annonnce-
ed. Peace is a very blessed word, and we
can hardly appreciate all that it means.
Peace to divided families is a great blees-
ing—peace to a distracted community,
wheie tends and strife have long prevailed,
ia a boon greatly to be desired—peace in
a country devastated by war and blood
shed, is greatly to be desired—but noae
of these, nor all of these, will illustrate the
full meaning of tbe word peace when
applied to Him whose birth-day brings
gl idness to so many hearts to-day. In
seme reso.cts aud on certain occasions,
ho has brought peace in all tbe paicula ra
enumerated above, where strife bas rei-
%«ied, and if it were necessary instances
ctlbld be pointed out illustrating the troth
ol' what we liav tten.
. But the peace which His atonement
piodncea is for^every individual if the ap.
pointed means are used for its attainment.
Tnrougb the atonement, God is reconciled
to man, and man may be reconciled to
Clod, by repenting of sin and believingly
accepting the offered terms of mercy.
Doug this the sinner is adopted into God’s
family, has peace of conacienc aud en
mity and bitter feeling is removed from
the heart toward bis fellow-creatures.
This ia the result of a saving faith in Him
whose day we now celebrate. Peace
,1 with conscience, peace with our fellow-
• meq, and peace with God. Have you this
peace abiding in your heart to-day? If
so you indeed have cause to rejoice with,a
joy unspeakable. If you are not in pos
session of this blessing, seek it at once.
The OhriBtian Index styles Christmas a
social rather than a religions occas on.
Teat paper furnishes some historical facta
Vp concerning the festival, which might be
- - introduced appropriately at the dose of thiB
article:
Everybody knows that the Jday propo
ses to commemorate the birth ot Jesus.
But no one knows the exact day of his
birth. Mot eyen the year is positively
knowo. The historian
“The year in which it occured has not
hitherto been ascertained,not-* itbstandiug
the deep and laborious researches of the
Jwrled.
"X’ual which appears probibis i* that it
occured aboui a year and six month befoie
tkvfcriA of Htuod, in tbe year of Rome
’ -#\jr'746.” He adds very wisely: “The
uncertainty, however, of this point is ot
no very great consequence. We
know that the Sun of Righteousness has
bimd upon the wotld;aud though we can
not fix tbe precise period in which be
arose, tbU will not preclude *us from en-
Augnst and the middle of N mmber,
D. 748 or 749. We will take the mean
time October 1.” Why we are not inform
ed. John Ht-nry Blunt,another Episcopal
authority, diionssesj the question in his
“Dictionaty of Doctrinal and Historical
Theology.” We quote:
The Church Catholic, though it has
ways celebrated our Lord’s Nativity, bas
not been uniform in its observance. Cl*
ment of Alexandria (born A. D. 153) styles
thejatterapt to define the precise day of its
occurrence as idle, and says that while
some kept it on May the 33th. others an
dcipated that day by a whole month.”
Blnot also says that “the institution of
this festival is lost iu antiquity.’’ In our
copy of Clement we do nut find what
Blunt ascribes to him, bat we find ths fol
lowing:
“There are those who have determined
not only the year of our Lord’s birth, but
also the day; and they say it took place in
the twenty-eighth year of Augusta, and in
the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth of Pnar-
mnthi.”
Authorities at hand do not intorm ns what
month of our calender coincides with
Paeon; but from Josephus we learn that
Pbarmuthi was the Egyptian name of tbe
Hebrew month Nisan, which ia equivalent
to parts of onr March and April* From
all this it ia certain that at ths time Cle
ment wrote bis Stromata, about A. D. 193,
the day of tbe birth was a matter of con-
j cture only. That was before the rise of
the “Boman Catholic Church,” upon
whoso authority it is usually supposed
that the" assumed date December 25th
real?. It is probable, however, that even
b> fore that Church formally set apart that
’a e, it was observed in thq-Weatern-chur-
ch, and passed into the Eastern Church
in tbe fourth century, about the time of
Chrysostom.
Many resons arejgiven forfixiog this date.
It is commonly thought that the early
C.iris_tiau3 adopted it because their Pagan
neighbors celebrated what they called their
“Saturnalia”' at that time, on the well
known enstom of transforming heath
en festivals into Christian Plumptre, in
Kllicott, t this the probable origin
“The time was chosen in order to substitute
the purified joy of a Christian festsval for
tbe license of the Srturualia which was
kept at that season*”
DB. MILIEU’S DEATH.
It does not seem much to tell, but when
it happened it created a profound sema
tion among the thirty or forty people who
were massed together in a street car,
each one thinking only of his own dis
comfort
“Move up there forward, will ye?”
The car bad suddenly gstofrped, with' a
jolt that pitched every one who was stand
ing toward the front door,and the recoil
had .blocked up |the enterance £from the
platform. The cw ctor ' imperiously
repeated the order in a hoarse ^yoice. At
the same time he shoved into tbe car a
m»n on crutches. Men and women sul
lenly-moved up to make place for the
lame man, but no one offered him a seat
The car started again. It was soon ap
parent that it was difficult for the cripple
to support himself by the swinging strap
aud preserve his equilibrium . on his
crutches. Every person seated looked the
other way.
A little later the conductor;[entered th
em for the fares. When he came to the
cripple the man was evidently suffering
from the inconvenience of his position
He did not seem a poor man. His face
was thin, and he was pale, and looked
poorer in health than in pocket; but b
was not elegant enough to abash the con
ductor, who became impatient while the
cripple fumbled for his change,
“Hurry up with your fare, or get off:'
said the conductor, harehly.
“I t,e :lart, I iiaveu’i a cenil I didn’t
know it when I got on,” said the crippl-,
mildly. “I.will send it to you. Won’t
that d ?’
“None of that gatna with met Pay, or
get off! Q lick, no* l”
The suffering man flushed, hh hands
trembled, and he turned to leave the car
Tho passengers watebed him coldly; not
one offered to help. The conductor rang
the bell viciously for tbe car to stpp,
A boy hai been walcbiug Ibis scent

piopossessing boy. H s cloLoes had never
been made fur him; they hung on him
loosly and were not clean; hut be had the
alert, bright expte-sion so ol ten seen on
the faces of tbe street Arubi. He started
toward the cripple when the conductor
rang the bell, and it was] evident that he,
too, was lame. The car grated to al stand
still.
“Now hurry up !” d the conductor.
The cripple fat-id b.s eyes in entreaty
swung his crutches into position, and
painfully moved to leave the car. Hts
eyes were filled with feat s of pain and
mortification. Most of the passengers
looked out of the window. Oh, the ci
louji.ess of a crowd!
“Now, don't get out!” piped up a thia
voice. “I know how you feel, mister,
guess 1 can lend you Hive cents.”
The child pal 1 the man's fare, and the
two unto tun .ei stood side by side in
sympathetic silence.

cheek bent, hoping to biush unseen. No

The French Ministry Will Conceal
Nothing from the Public.
They Recognize That ah Organized 2
Effort Is Being Made to Wreck,
the Government—President
Carnot Stands Firm.
Paris, Dec. 34.—At a cabinet conncil
held in the Elysee Thursday, it was re
solved that the government would acqui
esce in full and unrestricted debate on
Lucien Milvoye’s interpolation regarding
the alleged use of money advanced by the
Panama Canal company in the service
ofthe government.
The cabinet is fully aware that tho
motion has been offered in a spirit of
hostility to the administration if not to
the republic itself, Milvoye having been
known as an ardent supporter of Bou
langer, bat President Cainot has given
his fiat that no one must be spared
against whom there is evidence of guilty
complicity in the Panama frauds, and
that the government must welcome the
searching investigation.
Besides, the ministry, it is said, hope
that the inquiry consequent upon Mil
voye’s interpolation may prove a
Boomerang for tlio BoulftngliU
by giving an opportunity to bring out
the history of the Boulangist plot for
Che overthrow of the Ropublic, and of
Che discreditable methods by which it
was proposed to accomplish that object,
as well as the straits the government
was driven into detect and defeat the
conspirators.
The Sensation it Created lh Savannah
The details of tbe mnrder of Dr. Geo,
R. Millen, a well known citizen of Sa
vannah, have oreated a big sensation.
Dr. Millen had a plantation abont 12
miles out of tbe oity and drove out
there to collect some rents. He failed
to retain, and his horse having been
found by the wayside, friends started
out to search for him.
Tbe horse was given the reins and
went through a thick woods to the edge
Mosheim Bays: of a swamp, where he stopped. Almost
completely buried in the mud and
water the body of tbe doctor was found.
A blow across tbe front of his face,
which hsd broken his nose and stunned
him, showed that he had been assaulted.
The supposition is that some one en
ticed him into the woods and there
struok him with a club and then threw
him into the swamp. The blow was not
huffioient to kill, and he was in reality
drowned.
Dr. Millen was a cousin to the Millen
heirs now suiog for an Immense lot of
property here and it was be who in-

May Be Expeoted Beyond the Passage
of Appropriation Bills—An Extra
Session MayNot Be CaUed
Until September Next.
It is said that for this reason some of
the Bonapartists regret that the inter
polation was offered, and there an
many whoi while joining in demanding
the punishment of the Panama swind
lers and • corruptionists, are equally as
strong in their- condemnation of the
Boulanger conspiracy.
To Wreck the Republic.
The ministry have evidence, it is re
ported, that the present attack on the
government is part of an organized
plan for the overthrow of the republio,
and that each step taken • is carefully
discussed in advance by the plotters
against the constitution. The ministers
are also convinced that the only way to
meet the crisis is to throw the whole of
the Panama scandal, as rapidly aa the
facts are developed, open before the
public, and to retain only such in re
serve as may be necessary for the
proper management of the judicial
prosecutions.
President Carnot has not exactly said,
“Let No Guilty Man Escape,’*
but he has substantially declared that
no guilty man shall be shielded from
justice by any act on the part of the
government, and all the powers of the
government will be exercised to bring
the law breakers to punishment.
Ribot understands the purpose of the
president, and whatever may have been
his views on the subject in the Loubet
cabinet, he is now committed without
reserve to the policy of thorough expo
sure and rigid prosecution.
"Washington. Dec. 24.—On the house
aide of the Capitol there is a scene of
desolation. Thehegiraof members be
gan some days ago, and but a half .dozen
representatives were left in the cham
ber engaged in answering their pre-
Christmas correspondence. Otherwise
the hall was deserted, except when the
ubiquitous newspaper man entered it in
search of an item, which he was des
tined not to find, or when a few noisy
pages chased one another up and down
the Aisles.
In the room of the committee of ap
propriations, Mr. Sayers, of Texas, was
bnsily engaged, with the assistance of
the clerk in making up the sundry civil
appropriation bill for report to the full
committee. Besides the clerk, no one
was in the room but Mr. Dockery, of
Missouri. He was engaged in studying
question relative to the internal reve
nue. He stated that the investigation
as to the condition of the treasury would
be carried on solely by the ways and
means committee, ana that the appro
priation committee would not interfere.
He expressed the belief that it was
the proper committee to conduct the in-
K uiry. He predicted that little legisla-
ion would be enacted this session out
side of the regular appropriation bills,
all of which were in an unusual condition
of forwardness. As to an extra session,
he thought that it would not be called
before September. He thought this the
wisest course unless it conld be agreed
that the session called in March would
be merely for organization, of course.
On the senate side there was an as
set of complete evacuation- and deser-
won, even more striking than that of
the house. The chamber was as quiet
as a cemetery, not a page flitting about,
nor a single senator was to be seen. The
doorkeepers were all absent from their
poets, and every committee room was
locked and all business suspended in the
clerk’aeffice.
Mr. Chandler was the only senator
who appeared during the day, and after
attending to some matters relating to
immigration, he left the capitol. _ He
has not yet appointed the sub-committee
of senators to confer with the treasury
officials relative to the two immigration
bills reported to the senate and honse
but will consider the matter during the
recess and probably announce it some
time next week.

CONFLICT IN KANSAS.
Populists and Republicans Wranjjlln,
Over Seats In the House.
Topeka, Dec. 24.—While the Popu
lists have for several days been getting
in readiness for instituting quo warranto
proceeding in the supreme coart to pre
vent a number of Republican members-
elect of the house from taking their
scats, they have not yet been filled and
it is probable that they never will be.
Tbe decision of the supreme court in
Nebraska in similar cases which were
brought by the Republicans of that
state has, it is said, retarded them from
entering the suits here.
It has been discovered, however, that
three Republican members-elect are
postmasters. They are: Peter Bowens
of Ulysses, Grant county; A. C. Sher
man of Rissville, Shawnee county; and
B. C. Campbell of Dophan.
The constitution provides that no con
gressmon or officer of the United States
shall be eligible^ to a seat in the legisla
ture. The three postmasters have re
signed their offices to remove this disa
bility. Notwithstanding this fact, the
• Populists still claim that they are in
eligible, and that while they were act
ing as postmasters they could not
legally be elected.
The Republicans assert that there is
nothing in the constitution to prevent a
postmaster from being a candidate for
the legislature. -
This question will doubtless have to
be determined by the court before the
legislature meets. Should it be decided
against the Republicans, that would
loave them in the minority, in the house.
Tn-cnty-Ono Committeemen Resign.
Washington, Dec. 24.—The trouble
in the local committee appointed to
have charge of the arrangements for
the inangnration of President elect
Cleveland culminated in the resignation
of twenty-one of tho Democratic mem
hers. The committee ot fifty, with Col
onel James G. Barrett as chairman
was appointed by Chairman Harrity, of
tho national Democratic committee,
Chaii-uan Barrett increased the com
mittee by the addition of about eighty
prominent citizens, including many
Republicans. Some Democratic mem
bers of the original committee objected
to this increase and this action was the
consequenco.

OVER JACKSON PARK.
Mr. Mllehell Want* Electrical Appliance*
Abolished.
Washington”, Dec. 24.—One of those
peculiar bills that occasionally find their
way. into congress was introduced by
Mr. Mitchell in the senate. Its elabor
ate title provides for the prohibition of
electro-magnetism, mesmerizing and
hypnotizing human beings, etc., and
prescribes punishment. Numerous pe
titions and documents accompany the
bill, and others equally voluminous are
referred to. The bill in brief provides
that any person who, anywhere within
the jurisdiction of the United States,
shall apply a curren t of electricity upon
a person for the purpose of affecting an
ting a
other, or which does so affect, shall be
guilty of a crime punishable by death,
and that any person having knowledge
of such enrrent having been applied
who fails to notify the proper authori
ties, shall be deemed to be accessory
and shall be punished by a fine of not
less than $5,000, nor more than $20,000,
or by imprisonment ranging from two

For Her Husband's Life.
Waoo, Tex., Dec. 24.—Mrs. Jimmi?
Weatherford, in her own behalf and
that of her three children, today filed a
suit against Charles Dillingham and
Alfred Abeel, receivers of the Houston
and Texas Central railway, to recover
$25,000 damages—$t5,000 actual and
$10,000 exemplary—for the killing of
her husband last June. The petition
alleges that Weatherford was a brake-
make on a freight train of defendant,
and owing to defective air brakes was
thrown from the top of a car and fell
under the wheels and was killed.
Travel from Texas.
Waoo, Dec. 24.—For years the rail
roads of Texas have made low rates
daring the holidays to points in the
southern states to er* '!e the people of
Texas to visit their Id homes. The
rural population of Texas is .largely
made up of people from the old southern
states, and whenever the cotton crop is
a success they indulge in the luxury of a
visit to their former homes beyond, the
Mississippi. Cotton has brought a fair
price this year, and the holiday travel,
which has just begun, will be the heav
iest for years.

The American Flag Now Float* and Bail-

Chicago. Dec. 24.—The American
flag now floats from the Administration
building at Jackson Park to signify that
the World’s Fair buildings and grounds
are in the possession of tbe tJnited
States government. Vice President Mor
ton accepted them on behalf of the gov- !
eminent on Dedication day, but actual j
possession was not taken until Director ’
General Davis, the chief government'
World's Fair official, moved into his
offices in tho Administration building.
The raising of the stare and stripes sig
naled that event.
All of the World’s Fair offices, except
two or three, are now removed to Jack-
son Park, and those will soon follow.
For nearly two years the offices have
been in the Rand McNally building in
the center of the city. Now, however,
the work of the preparation of the great
Fair has reached a stage requiring it to
be carried on in the buildings which are
to contain the exhibits. All of these
buildings are now practically finished
and ready for the installation ef exhib
its. Most of the work remaining to be
done on the buildings of a decorative
nature and can be carried on and com
pleted without interferring with the
plaoingof exhibits.

A Bloody Fi^lit End* a Pitched Bnttil
Between Two Men From Hungary.
. Mount Carmel, Penn., Dec. 24.—A
desperate battle took place here which
may resnlt in the death of several of
the participants. The combat was
CAnsed by a jilted lover, who followed
the object of his affections fr^ - the old
country to America, met his ..val and
a fierce fight ensued. Until six months
ago John Roteski, Michael Lincevitcb
and Mary Donsky lived in a small town
in Hnngary. Both men were despe
rately in love with Mary, who finally
agreed to flee to this country with John.
Upon their arrival iu New York they
were married and have lived in peace
and happiness until about one week
ago, when it was learned that Lince-
vitch had followed them to this country
with the intention of being revenged.
A pugilistic encounter was chosen as
a means of deciding the justice of the
claims, and Thursday night was the
time set for the duel.
Aliout fifty railroad workmen wit
nessed the fray. Mary was selected as
referee, and, it is alleged, agreed to take
the victor for her husband. The men
were stripped to the waist, and when
time Was called started in to punish
>ther. Five rounds were fought,
l; a: v._al •_
each I
during
which time both men had their
faces almost battered into a jelly.
Thej fight lasted forty minutes, when
completely exhausted and bleeding pro
lyl Lincevitcb was unable to stand
np any longer. A foul was claimed, on
account of Rotoski chewing his oppo-
r, daring which time a fierce
ital struggle began. The girl
ith her husband’s friends, and
i knocked sensely. What ra
ft riot followed.
ms of all kinds were used, and
reive were felled with clubs,
bullets found their way
