Es v" My i :'f THE PITTSBURG' DISPATCH?. IFKTPAY, DECEMBER 25, 1891. WITH GIFTAND SONG The Glories of the Great Christmas Holiday Were Ushered in Here Last Evening. CELEBEATIOXS AT THE CHURCHES. All Convicts Under Discipline at the Work house Are Keleased in Honor of the Pay. SU.VDAT SCHOOL CHILDREN' MADE HA PPT Bright Musical rroramaits Prepared for To-Piy" Special Sen ices. Christmas, preceded by the meanest kind of weather and sloppy streets, came in last midnight on scheduled time just as quietly and -peacefully as Christmas lias come for the past 18 centuries or more. The stars did not sing, or, if they did, they were so hidden by the clouds that their songs were only for other -worlds. Despite this dire liction on the part of these astral orbs last evening the lights from scores of churches shone out, and from within came a song of happiness and a knahing of teeth on last summer's crop of peanuts and candy kisses. Nearly every child was happy, for those who were not enjoying the treat were liv ing in anticipation of that to come to-day. All day yesterday, and, in fact, all week, the streets have been almost impassible.and yesterday they were hardly able to hold the immense volume of people. They overran the stores, and all was bundles and people as far as the eye could reach. The day had been a great one for the shopkeepers, and when, long after 11 o'clock, they closed their doors and looked from the empty y counters to the overflowing coflers, eacii heaved a sigh of contentment and classical ly remarked: "Let her Chris!" James StPrllnij, the Author, Will Feast. To-day wiil be one out of the usual for all. The meek and lowly saloon, as well as the high-spired church, will take on its hol iday attire, and a new happiness in some form will come to everybody. The in mates of each institution will enjoy a red letter lay. At the workhouse Christ mas will be the brighter, because each man under discipline will be released. Even Tames Sterling, the -author, will be called from the white house and his diet of bread and water to enjoy himself with turkey and plum pudding. Such will be a part of Christmas presents Superintendent Hill will give to the inmates of that institution. There will be special services to-day in all the churches. The musical features will be unusually good and the decorations will be beyond anything ever known here before on Christmas "day. Yesterday there were dis tributions of "candy and presents in many of the common schools, while at night the church celebrations were held. The Esst End, with its usual advance ment, will be prettily represented at the Shady Avenue Baptist Church. Xear the pulpit has been built the home of old Kris Kringic. Evervthing within is arranged true to all the lore that has been handed down lor centuries about this famous phil anthropist. Even a brisrht fire will burn in the fireplace through which he is to come don n. As the house is not big enough to hold the presents there is also a Christmas tree. The service will be held there this evening and will consist of a vocal and lit erary entertainment. An n ftm'Jj Gathers Hound the Ileartlb Round a big old-fashioned fireplace the people of the Second Presbyterian Church, Penn avenue, last evening celebrated the Christmas feast. On either side stood big snow-covered trees laden with presents lor the Sunday school children. The prettiest feature was the fireplace. Each brick was hollow and filled with candy, and at the clce of the entertainment it was torn down and distributed. The great feature of the evening was the long-distance telephone over which came at regular intervals bulle tins as to the progress of Santa Claus. Nearly 1,200 children were treated last evening at the Butler Street M. E. Church. J. W. Fulsora, Assistant Superintendent, m?de an address, after which a chorus of 550 little children suns a Christmas hymn, llev. Jtr. Oldham distributed the presents, and then each of the children laid on the platform an oflcrine lor the poor of Law renceville. These gifts will be distributed this morning by Mrs. S. Hamilton, Mrs. Q, "V. Hav, Mrs. T. B. Stewart and Miss Ea "Wallace. At the Seventh TJ. P. Church, the Hazel wood Presbyterian, Christian and Metho dist churches and at the Third Presbyterian similar services were held last night and each pupil was made happy with a box of candy or a present Celebrated With Girts and Son;. At the Smithfield Street JE. E. Church a cantata called the "Frost King" was gi en last night under the supervision of Prof. AVeedin. Miss Mary King, super intendent of the infants department had charge of the other exercises. There was also an address by the pastor, Bev. Charles Edward Locke and liberal donations for the poor. Other treats were held last night at the Park Avenue Presbyterian, the Oakland U. P., German Lutheran on Eighteenth street, Bingham Street M. E., "Walton M. E. and the Knovville TJ. P. Churches. In Allegheny Bev. S. "W. McCorkle, at the First Congregational Church, Man- hattan street, ga e a treat for the children in the shape ot a cantata entitled, "Waiting for Santa Claus," in which about 50 people took part. In the midst of the play "Jack Frost" enters the room. His presence so benumbs the little ones that they fall asleep and while they slumber Santa" Claus fills the stockings.

Slagee Slakes the Youngsters of Ills Neighborhood Happy. "What's your candy worth a pound?" C L. Magee asked on "Wednesday afternoon at a Sixth avenue store. Mr. Magee stood leaning into the doorway of the store and his inquiry was directed to any one of the crowd of clerks who were busy inside. "Different prices. From 40 cents to GO cents a pound," one of the clerks answered. "Come in," he went on. "How do von sell it br the ton," Mr. Magee asked, as he walked leisurely into the place. The clerk stopped and smiled and attempted to say something pleasant in response to what he considered a joke. Mr. Macee explained that he had about 2,000 school children in the Fourteenth ward, where he resides, and he wanted to send each of the fonr schools a Christmas treat He was promptly hurried over to the proprietor of the store and in less time than it takes to tell it he had ordered 1,300 pounds of mixed candy, J,300 pounds of mixed nuts and 2,600 oranges. The number of children at each school was supplied Mr. Stevenson, and the candy and nuts were placed in half-pound boxes and the oranges were sent in cases, xne sweet meats were hauled to the schools of the Fourteenth ward at noon yesterday. In the afternoon the children who attend the public schools were given their share. The parochial school at Soho will distribute their share this afternoon, when each of the 2,600 children in the ward will have re ceived a half-pound of cindy, a half-pound oi nuts ana nn orange. The public schools were dismissed after the treat was served. The children hurried to their homes delighted. On their way manv of the boys stopped in the gutter to crack nuts on the curb stones. On the va cant lot just opposite the Soho public school a party of four little colored school children were gathered about a stone crack ing nuts.whcn a Dispatch reporter over took them. At the side of each was a box of candy, a bag of nuts and an orange. "Where did you get the sweetmeats?" was asked. "Chris Magee," all four replied in cho rus. "Who is he?" was asked. "Don't know," the only boyln the party replied, "but teacher said he give 'em to us." THE POSTOFFICE BUSH. partment, was presented last evening with a very handsome diamond stud, the gift of his fiends of the service and of acquaint ances who have no connection therewith. The surprise took place at the Chiefs home, 39 Cedar avenue. Lewis McMullen, Esq., made tho speech of presentation and it was responded to appropriately by the Chief. Chief Murphy, Chief Griibbs and others were present" BELIOI0N IN POLITICS. An Incident of the Aldermanlc Contest In - the Sixth -Ward. An amusing incident in local politics occurred yesterday afternoon in Piatt's place on Smithfield street Squire Mike Raflerty and Charley Grimes arc the candi dates for Alderman in the Sixth ward. The two met socially and .were discussing their contest They were leaning upon the bar talking earnestly. Raflerty is a Catholic Grimes is an Orangeman. The barkeeper leaned over attentively listening to their talk when two burly street laborers entere'd and called tor whisky. They filled their glasses, both sipped a taste oi liquor their, put down their glasses and their eyes met good naturedly. "Are ye's for Rafferty for Alderman?" one asked. "I'm not," the other replied. Continu ing, he asked, "Who's Raflerty?" "He's a son of old Mike on the hill, and he's a dandv, too." "A son of Old Mike Raflerty's, is he? "Well, I knew his father before him, but I'm not for him. I'm for Grimes." "You're against the hand of God if you are, then," the other replied. The two "did not speak again. They drank their whisky, nodded to each other and walked out Dyspepsia Caused me almost untold suffering. I elf miserable and nervous. My stomach would hardly digest bread and milk.

ALLtbHtrNTrKfl All the Records Jlroken in the Amount ot limine Donr. The heaviest holiday biisines ever done at the Pittsburg postofBcc w.is that of the past ten days, particularly yesterday. Postmaster JIcKean says the postoffice handled more stuff yesterday than all the express companies in the city combined. When it is considered that none of the postal packages weigh over 40 pounds, and that lew weigh more than one pound, the enormous number required to make a tonnage equal to one express company's business can only be imagined. The special delUery business was also ex traordinary. In one half-hour a count was kept, during which 140 special delivery let ters to go out of town were mailed. The rate for the greater part of the day was about the same. The special delivery for the city surpassed any previous record", the total for the day being about GOO packages. Notwithstanding the enormous increase in the business it has been handled with better satisfaction to the postoffice people and the public than ever before. Not a Tn ilavs. an nmiKiial rirrnimRt'iTi nr tliio ! season. For more than a week past 15 men have been taken from their regular places in the postoffice and located in the corridors to assist people in mailing and sending away mail packages. Long tables were placed in convenient places in the corridors with pens, ink and blotters. The corridor men were provided with scales and weighed packages, stating the amount of postage required, and one was only required to step up to one of the numerous stamp windows and ask for the proper number, thereby saving much time and annoyance. This convenience pleased the people, and commendations ot Post master McKean's thonghtlulnesB were numerously heard. The Postmaster himself with his assistants, Edwards and Col ille. were in the corridors all aay yesterday assisting people with the mailing of their Christmas packages. The employes were all on double duty, working 24 hours without rest, and they will welcome the rest they will receive to-dav. Ue25-TuFu A MB I GO BtHa USEFUL PRESENT.

The Adams Express Company handled 130 cars of express matter each day since Monday at the Union station. This is the largest amount ever handled at the Christ mas season, and Superintendent Glenn says in regard to it: "We have been working nizht and day with an extra force. The large number of Christmas gilts being ex changed is an evidence that the people are firosperous and plenty of money is in circu ation. We will handle much extra matter until after New Year's which will mainly be sent persons in return for favors from unexpected sourcev" Donations for the Poor. Yesterday was a busy day at the office oi the Society for the Improvement of the Poor. A very large number of donations were received, consisting of groceries, fruit, nuts, clothing and other articles. Tbev were confined almost exclusively to private individual contributions. One exception was Jrom the Sunday schools of the city. These were filled with the same articles. TOltfrsOP JOHN 0. RICE. Three Niehts. Commencing Thursday, Dec 1.
