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, \u25a0 " DAY AT TflE CATHEDRAL CHRISTMAS MASSBS BE<;A\ AT 5 O'CLOCK. 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. \u0084..., ... \u0084..,. The choir, assisted by Danz orchestra, -sustained its reputation-for faithful-work in its splendid rendition of Beethoven's mass in C. The beautifully .o.rnamente.d .sanctuary formed a background which brought out in pleasing effect -the richness -of the robes worn by the clergy. It's quite easy to order a bottle oi Ale or Stout, but hew to get the btst is an- other thing. Order Byans' the nfeict time and run no risks. Bottled at this brew- ery to insure purity. Geo.

Not tli Real Brave, but: the WootLen One Before Cigar" Conntci*s7' The cigar and tobacco jburaal, -of tlii3 city, has just published a very handsome Christinas edition, cxtendeclly Illustrated and in keeping wipv. sj^ind^d, . the paper has set up for itself durinj the last few year5,,..,., ..Locally,-;.hawovar, a more than ordinary interest attaches to a chapter on the pasaing of the cigar store Indian. After treating in^cxtenso the female Indian who ornaments the front of a well, knpwn qigar, store,,.. 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- vertisement for a hen roost, while the young prince wpuld.be.. seen, to. .better advantage in the parlor, of some title- hunting heiress -on.. Summit avenue. - "The latter wears a close-fitting, slash- ed doublet of green- velevt. -\u25a0 Across his shoulders hangs a graceful robe lined with ermine. But his other adjuncts are mysterious. The, vine...leaves.. about.,, his brow, the tall basket heapsd with grapes at his <side-> jmig&t »better •-serve an ancient Bacchus or a youthful satyr, while the blazing g&sligtrt that he up- lifts with, his left hand recalls nothing but tall Miss Liberty of Bedloe's island enlightening the. bay of-New jYork. \u25a0...,. "On Robert street another curious sub- stitute for the Indian girl that Long- fellow dreamed is a short-skirted woman with Oriental, ctrriy-toed boots, an Or- iental sash, and, upon her head, a great bejeweled turban, emblem of masculinity in the land of Mahomet,, The proprietor of the store-said she was -. *a kind of Indian.' ;»*«\u25a0 »'*\u25a0*««• -"» *> yi *?/>.? SANTA CLAUS AT HAMLINE. 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. < Interesting: Service Held Early Last . .

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. rreliminary to 'the dlstrlbaition^^ pro- gramme of recitations and Christmas car- ols whs carried out, l\yen£y-nve or jnpr« children parUeir>»tin£ in"'these exorcises.

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.

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. Sow ;.

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. fli SKIS ill REV. DR. JOHN WRIGHT PREACHED CHRISTMAS SBR- MOS AT ST. PALL'S JB3TJS, THE SINLESS . CHILD Topic •. of a Sermon That L»aid \u25a0'"' 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. . . ; . \u25a0 ' ... '. "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." WINONA ALUMNI WILL MEET.

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;'whichit is claimed, will stamp 60,000 letters orpostal cards an hour. This is an enor-mous amount work' for-©n^m*chineto do in an hour, but nevertheless it isa fact. - The machine is owned by theInternational Po^taJ^Sirpplj^oinpany, ofNew York, and is rented to*"the govern-ment for $400 -per-ye«r. -It is -nm byelectricity and no matter : how ihin orthick the letters of postal' cards "may be,it runs them through aW stamps themwith a velocity that is astounding. Thefirst machine of this kind was put inon March 6, last, and already there areninety-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 troughfilled with oil. Ev*ry T letter goesthrough is registered by a counting, ma-chine, so that at rhe end of a day's workyou can tell just.tjQW many, letters, werestamped during the day. The "new ma-chine is proving very satisfactory and iswelcomed as a Christmas gift to the St.Paul office. ~ ' - %~z, \u25a0 "

A big Christmas dinner with the accom-paniment of nuts and candy and a goodcigar relieved the monotony at the coun-ty jail yestarday, and served to remind

the forty or mora prisoners confinedthere that while a cruel world haaabridged their liberty for infractions ofits laws, yet they were not forgotten.

Each received his port-on of the tea-itprepared 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 wereserved when demanded and each wasgiven his fill of the good things. At tfccclose 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-BuschBrewing company, and who has given

the ofliclais much trouble owing to his

surliness and feigned insanity, wasamong the jolliest of the crowd, anddid justice to the spread.

Sheriff Wagener, with the coming oftha new year, severs his connectionwith the county in an official way. Yes-terday's feast to the prisoners was only

Dr. Richesonwas called and on examining the manfound that he was not badly hurt, butdecided to have him removed to thecity hospital.

Lieut. Bahe with several patrolmenwent to the scene of the trouble andarrested Conroy, who was in a very bel-ligerent mood when he reached the sta-tion, and was also bespattered withblood. Joyce was not to be found.

PREACHED CHRISTMAS SBR-MOS AT ST. PALL'S

JB3TJS, THE SINLESS . CHILD

Topic •. of a Sermon That L»aid\u25a0'"' Stress on the Essoniiiillty of

a BeUeflu the Knz-

arose.

: Re. John Wright, of St.Fftul's Episeo-.pal church, yesterday morning: preachdhis rst sermon since his' recovery frcmthe railrcad accident he met with tometime-, r>.go. ' ' : "

In view of 'this fact,, and also that itwas Christmas, the church wasdecorated with flowers of all kindsand holly and evergreens.' The choir offifty voices Bang the new oommunicnsetting-. by Siainer, the English cemposer.

The pastor took for his text, "In theName of thy Holy Child, Jesus." Fol-lowing is his sermon in part:

"There is a remarkable resemblance inthe ancient religion of the East. Takethe Egyptian religion and, 5,000 years be-fore the birth of Christ, we find it lay mrdown certain doctrines which«are taughtin Holy &cnpt':re. We trace in it thedcetilne c< the trinity, the incarr.atio.i, t..e ;

judge of the quick and dead, and t!-edoctrine cf immortal life. . We fi;;d alo jthe doctrine of the Virgin Mother and ithe resurrection of the body. In a fainterdegree those resemblances arc detected in

: Buddhism and the religion of Zcroastcrand Confucius. How do we account fcrthese 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 posilioamust be that all religions are human Intheir origin. . . ; . \u25a0 ' ... '.

"We cannot admit this for Christianity.The resemblances have been • accounterlfor by others on the supposition thatthe Jewish nation, by its early commer-cial intercourse with the nations of lhaearth, introduced the idea ofaMe*s!ah-ship. Be this as it may, the resemblancesto the Christian religion are but'su-perficial. ;--:•.'

"Without going into general ccnsidera 7tion of the subject, take this one aspect—

the holiness of the Child Christ. He isdistinctly spoken of everywhere inScripture as a Holy Child in the sense ofbeing" sinless. This is unique. BuMhanever claimed this for himself, ncr didhis disciples claim it for him. The srms13 true of Zoroaster, Confiicius and Mo-hammed. Therefore our Christm:is joyis centered about a sinless child! Thismakes his example complete.

"Let us teach childhood ihat it has inChrist a perfect example. L<ot us putinto -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 perfectlife of Christ sc shall they reach highestdevelopment of character. This Is thegreat lesson of Christmas. Let U3 in-fuse the idea into all our festivities. Listiis not be carried away with the s n'l-ment of the festival or with the selfishidea that it is the day on which we areto receive something. But let us impressmore and more upon our youth that ro'.i-ne.ss makes character, just as it m;'.dethe character of Jzsus."
