Dr. Alary tl. Shepherd, who occupies
a suite of rear rooms on the second

building at 108 and 10S Penn avenue.
The central city chemical companies

a headway. The damage Is less than
$00. The ground lloor Is occupied by

PENN AVKNUK BAPTIST. I
The choir of tho Penn Avenue Bap
tist church, under the cfllelent leader
ship of Prof. Haydn Kvans, rendered
special Christinas anthems at yestor-
to be recognized as one ot the finest In
the city.
At the night service, the celebrated
Kisk Jubilee Singers, from Nashville,
Tenn., sang a number of old-fashioned
hymns, with such a depth of feeilne
ami with such wonderful sweetness
that the largo congregation was pro
foundly moved. These singers are
touring the Kast under the leadership
0f; John W. Work, a colored man who ,
H lin earnest Christian and a musician
of ,nol.e tlmn ordinary skill.
Hev. Dr. Robert F. Y. Pierce, pastor
of the church, preached a Christmas
sermon In tho morning, taking for his
theme, "In the Starlight." his text
being found in Matthew li: 10, "When
they saw tho star, they rejoiced with
exceeding great joy."
The doctor in beginning his remarks
showed the condition of the world 'it

"Christ brought with Him," said he,
"peace and good will for all men; sal

WHAT IT BROUGHT.
The light of Christianity, said the
doctor, brought all those things into
the world which make its civilization
great today redemption, philanthropy,
education, human development, litera
ture and invention. He sought to
show that the coming of Christ and
tlie spread of Christianity has boon
directly responsible for the progress of
the world along every line of develop
ment and told of the great epoch
making achievements and discoveries

Lieutenant Colonel Theodore J. Wlnt,
who It Is said will soon be made a brig
adier Kv'IutiiI by President ltooseVelt,
was bom In this city on March G, 1845,
and on October tu, 1801, when 11 mere

tenant of the Sixth Pennsylvania cav
alry. From 1SCI to 1SC4 he served in
tho following campaigns: Peninsular
campaign, Antietam. Fredericksburg,
Regular Cavalry Brigade, 1SG2; Stone
man's raid, Beverly's Ford, ISO::; He
serve Cavalry Brigade, Cavalry Corps,
Army of tho Potomac, Todd's Tavern,
Sheridan's raid, Haines' shop, Cold
Harbor, Trevilllon Station and Smith
field. In 1S72 he was made a captain. Al
most without intermission, from lSOo
to 1S69, ho was actively engaged in In
dian campaigns in Texas, Indian Terri
tory, New Mexico, Arizona, California,
Kansas, Washington Territory, North
Dakota and Montana. Colonel WInt's
services during the civil war and since
then on the frontier and In Cuba have
been most creditable. Tho following
extract from a letter exchanged be
tween friends shows Colonel Willi's
fighting spirit while in Cuba:
"In polonel Roosevelt's article in
Scribner's for either February or
March of 1S09, he speaks or the troops
who were so anxious to get to the
front of San Juan bill that they waded
the pond instead of going around, but
does not state, and it is not generally
known, that Colonel Wint led these
troops."
Colonel Wlnt is a son of the late
Jonathan f'int of this city. He is a
brother of Louis II. Wlnt, Irvin J.
Wlnt, Mrs. Charles L. Hawley and
Mrs. S. W. Edgar of this city.
Former Attorney General William
I'. Hensd, who was one of the speak
ers at the banquet of tho New England
society the other night has a wide rep
utation as a story teller and he told
several little tales on that occasion
that were so good in themselves and
that were so Improved in the telling
that they made tlie biggest lilt of the
night.
Following Mr. Hensel's name on the
toast list were those familiar lines of
Whittler's beginning, "I sing the pil
grim of 11 softer dime and milder
speech." In opening his remarks
Mr. Hensd said that he llrst
took this to mean that he was
expected to talk in the vernacular
of Lancaster county but that ho had
finally decided to follow the example
of other Pennsylvania Dutchmen and
abide by the established order of
things. As an Illustration of the grace
with which tho Pennsylvania Dutch
man bows to custom he told a story of
one during the civil war.
"This Dutchman," said he, was a
resident of a town which was occupied
bv the Confederates and wns strongly
, suspected of carrying Information to
the Union troops. He was watclieil
and was dually caught In the act of
running the lines. He was arrested,
tried by a drum-head court martial
and sentenced to be hanged. He was
led out behind a barn by a sergeant
and a siiimd of men but didn't seem to
realize what the preparations wero for.
" 'Are you ready'." asked the ser
geant. " 'Yes, sir,'
"Do you know what we're going to
do wltli you'.'"
"No, sir."
"I'll tell you then. We're going to
hung you."
"Veil, vot ever Is the rule. ot over
is the rule."
It Is needless to say that this story
was the most heartily enjoyed of any
of the evening.
