Christmas at Trinity cathedral was usher
ed In.by the chiming of the bolls In the tower
nnd nt 12:05 : a. in. . Dean Onrdiier held the
first celebration of holy communion , : i short ,
song service preceding the sacraim-nt. At
8 o'clock the second celebration of holy com
munion , at 10 o'clock morning prayer and at
' celebration. Jho
11 o'clock the mld-duy
music at this service was particularly clnbo
rate in keeping with the day , the ICyrie In C. ,
by Whitney , hymn ! J , "It came upon the
Midnight Clear , " by Sullivan , in which Miss
Myrtle Coon sang the soprano part
with excellent effect , having line sup
port from the chorus. Miss Coon has
a wonderfully clear soprano of wide range ,
her upper notes being particularly liquid and
nttrncttvu. Her voice is sweet and fresh
and Mrs. Cotton could not have made a more
judicious selection. lu the anthem , "Sing ,
0 Heavens , " by Lowes , Mrs. Cotton was at
her best , her cultured voice tilling the
cathedral with swcol sounds. For the
offertory "O , Holy Night" ( Cantiquo Noel ) ,
by Adam , was sung with the richest possible
effect , though the boys showed a slight
hesitation in the ppcnlng bars following Mr.
Vv'ilkins' tenor solo , but this soon wore
away as the iloridity of the composition nnd
its liigh religious fervor took possession of
the singers. Mr. Wilklns snug beautifully ,
the part being best suited to his voice. In
fact it has been a long time since Mr. Wil-
hins sang with so much genuine feeling , nnd
the enthusiastic congratulations ho received
were well deserved.
At 7iO : ! dado's , ' Christmas Kve" a sacred
cantata , in this master's best vein , was given
by-the full choir of the chmvh with organ
nnd piano , Mr. Butler , the organist , particu
larly distinguishing himself. The cantata is
n beautiful composition , opening with a con
tralto solo which merges into a big choral
number , followed by a chorus of seraphim
and chorus of shepherds. The contralto
again sings the air followed by the chorus in
n paean of praise to the newly bom. Con
tralto then sinus these words : "When ou-
wanl I am gazing I read distress and wrath ;
1 bear the tramp of nations , destruction
round their path. But now a cheerful morn
ing 'o'ersprcmls the weary earth , once more
Is hope upspringing to greet the Savior's
birth , " and the chorus terminates the tone
poem with a beautiful melody.
At.tho 11 o'clock service Bishop George
AVorthington was the celebrant , assisted by
Bean Gardner as opistoler. The bishop
in-cached from St. Luke ii-7 : "And she
brought forth her ilrst born son and wrapped
Him in Bwadling clothes and laid Him in n
manger ; because there was no room foi
them in the inn , " chasing for his text the
latter part of the verse.
lIslu > ii Wortliliigtim'H Sri-mim.
The preacher began his short discourse b.\
saying that when Christ came into the worlt
bo found it preoccupied ; this marvcllou !
world had room for wealth , pride , show
pomp , ceremony room for society , dissi
pntlon room for power , forarmies , for inon
nrchy nnd despotsbut for the Word made llesl
there was no room except in a stable , "be
cause the inn was full. " "Tho bride o
Christ , ' * said the bishop , "is never unmindfu
of her spouse. " She brings us together , slu
leads us to the tomb , last at the sepuleher
first at the crown. Ho pictured the mange
h Bethlehem where the Christ-child Ilrs
saw the light , he spoke of the rude surround
ings anil then drew a beautiful picture of th
simplicity of the life of Him who came inti
the world as the Savior of men.
Some have no time to bo religious , said th
bishop , some are too poor , some also arc to
rich' ; some are too -young and wait uutl
strength is spent before they become Joinei
in the faith and some are too old , too mud
occupied with their accumulated wisdom
multitudes there are who maintain a Chris
tlan figure hardly up to the measure of the !
own self respect. And ho closed by a IHtini
reference to the communion which was to b
celebrated.

The congregation at the First MethodU
church was largo yesterday considering tl
unfavorable weather. The opening hymn (
the morning service was Wlilttlcr's tcndi
little poem , beginning.
Wo may not climb this heavenly steeps
To urlnj ; HID Kurd Christ down ,
The anthem by the choir was ' 'Tho Birtl
day of the King , " by Kcidlinger. It was o :
ceptioiwlly well done , Mr. Blake taking tl :
solo for the bass ,
Uov. Frank Crane , the pastor , found b
text In the second chapter of Luke. The ;
were the words to which ho invited the a
tcutlon of his hearers : "And she brougl
forth her first born son and wrapped Him :
swaddling clothes and laid Him in a mangi
because there was uo room for them in tl
inn. "
Around this incident in the world's histoi
the fancy of man had played more th :
around any other event. Painters and pee
and orators had exhausted their genius
presenting the simple picture to the hum :
race. There was nothing very remarkab
about it from a purely human standpoii

A More Modi-rn I'liugu.
Then turning bis attention to
more modern phnso of the subject ,
the speaker said that thcro didn't seem to
bo much room for Christ In ft good many
churches. Some nations had recognized the
power of the Christian religion by establish
ing certain forms of worship to bo recognized
nml encouraged by government , but this In
some Instances resulted In driving Christ
out of the lives of the people rather than
building .tip true religion. The lioman
Catholic church had obscured the view of
Christ which its members should obtain by
substituting other personages for that of
Christ. 'Ilicro were so many saints to be re-
membercfl ami prayed to , in that church ,
that thcro did not appear to benny room
left for Christ. Mark Twain had once re
marked that while in Homo he had seen
churches dedicated to all the saints in the
category nnd ono to the Holy Ghost , but not
a solitary church seemed to have been
erected In the name of Jesus Christ.
Modern churches were following the same
line , to some extent , the speaker feared. So
much room and so much time had to bo de
voted to tine organs and the splendidly
trained choir nnd the iwllshcd sermon that
there appeared to be very little left for
Christ. Too many people were crowding
Christ out of their lives. They hud room
for business and pleasure and sin , but no
room for Christ , no room for the ono upon
whom they would htnc to depend at last for
s.iH'ation.
The speaker pleaded eloquently with his
hearers for n choice corner in their hearts
for the occupancy of the Savior. Ho em-
plinsi7.ed his closing appeal by the use of
some very effective Illustrations ami closed
by quot IngSnmuel Stcnuetfs beautiful lines :
Since fioni His bounty I receive

Bishop Newman was present nnd made a
few remarks about the work of the Kpworth
league of the First church. The league is
interested in conducting a mission down on
the bottomsf and tomorrow those who have
been giving valuable time to this commend
able work will give the little waifs from the

"Twas a day of song and praise at St.
John's Collegiate church. The old stouo
church housed a multitude of people and its
interior was decorated tastefully and in a
manner becoming the day. The altars were
ablaze with the glimmering lights of the
candles and decorated with leaves and ever
green. Suspending from arch to arch and
encircling each pillar were strings of ever
green , livery appearance indicated a day of
praise and happiness and there was a com
forted , contented look beaming from each
countenance.
The services were intensely devout and
interesting. Solemn high mass was cele
brated at 5 o'clock , and was followed by low
masses every bout1 until the 10:30 : liijrh mass ,
which was the principal service of the day.
Vesper service was held at I ! o'clock.
The solemn high mass was celebrated at
10 : 0bv Hcv. P. .1. Boycc , S.J. , assisted by
Rev. AV. T. Kinselhi , deacon , and Prof. D.
Johnson , subdoacon , The musical program
was one of the best over given in Omaha.
The singing of the "Adeste Fidcles , " the
hymn sung the world over in the Cath
olic churches yesterday , was excep
tionally beautiful. The arrangements
were very appropriate. There were
three choirs. An "angel choir" ( high
sopranos ) with harp accompaniment , being
placed in the belfry , the students' choir ,
with trumpets , hidden in the sacristy , and
the choir proper in the loft. The singing
was perfectly grand and touched the heart.
The sweet soprano voices came down from
the belfry , to bo met by the students' ' notes
from the sacristy , and both were swallowed
up in the graudTChovus of the choir proper in
the loft , ami alt'ogether the sweet refrains
came forth with tremendous volume , in per
fect time nnd tune.
Uev. James Hooffcr , S. .T. , delivered the
sermon , which was quite lengthy and histor
ically replete with good things and appro
priate comments upon the origin of the cel
ebration of the day and its meaning to
mankind.
The singing of "Paciuis Mlssn Solemnis"
by the choir was very flue. It was I o'clock

congregation left the church ,

The services at St. Plillomena's cathedral
were on an elaborate scale , especially from : i
musical standpoint. The choir was supple
mcnted by an auxiliary orchestra under the
direction of Mr. Bert Butler and the full
choir made the arches of the old church cchc
with sncred harmony.
Pontifical high mass was celebrated at 5 a.

choir sang Mcigand's tunas nnd tbeirchildisl
voices blendeit in a manner that showed bow
much care and patience had been exerciser
in their training : . Ivw masses were sung ai

day , was celebrated by Hev. P. F. McCarty
The choir sung Cimnr.isod's grand military

Christmas at the hospitals could not wol

yet it was very far from being without semi

At St. Joseph's hospital , the Franciscai

A homelike Christmas dinner was served fo
those strong enough to enjoy it , and the in

llSoilVnrk nfUcnttn Women ,
All last week the ladles of the cltyilnvoted
much thought to the sick children at tlm
hospital. Dally donations of money , toys ,
sweetmeats and provisions were received. It
was pleasant to see how the mothers of
healthy children rcnu inhered the suffering
little ones of the .poor. Gifts ixmrcd in so
fast that it was not long before enough bad
been received to give each child some nice
present ,
There was as much sentiment in the hospi
tal festival as In the most sttttclV mansion In
the city. lOvery effort was mntlo to realize
every childish dream and fulfill every child
ish wish ,
During the past week the children were In
n flutter of expectancy. Their anticipations
were as Innocently perfect as those of the
the children of wealthy parents. They
talked of Christmas nnd Santa Claus and
speculated on wlmt they would get. There
was something pathetic , yet charming in
their unbroken confidence. Little notes were
scribbled for "dear , old Santa , " lit which
many ardent childish wishes were expressed ,
though the petition seldom soared higher
than a "tmful doll , wlf a blue dwess'1 or "a
pony and a gun and fire crackers and n sled
nnd n whip and a bicycle. "
Thrlr CIlllilMlVMirM Siitliflrd.
Saturday afternoon all but the wildest
dreams of the childish imagination were re
alized. All the little invalids who were
strong enough were taken down stairs where
there was a magnificent Christmas tree. On
the green boughs tiny red , white and blue
wax candles were burning and the tree fairly
groaned under its weight of toys toys of
every kind , from baby rattles to doll babies.
ICvery child was remembered and the little
cries of surprise ami delight would have re
paid the generous donors many times over
lind they heard them.
Saturday night the children retired to
blissful slumber and yesterday the day was
quietly passed. Some poor little ones were
too sick to eat a Christmas dinner nnd
others could not bo allowed to 1111 their little
stomachs with good things because of their
delicate health and the necessity of carefully
watching them diet , but those fortunate
youngsters with Intact digestive organs had
their fill of turkey and cranberry sauce ,
apples , oranges , nuts , caudles and cakes.

Happy for ti Day.
The inmates o the county jail bad reasons
for feeling kindly toward Sheriff and Mrs.
Bennett , who planned a surprise in the
nature of a feast. Instead of the men and
women being compelled to partake of the
regulation Jail faro , they wore treated to
turkey , mince pie and-a number of dainty
side dishes , including fruits. Kvcn the
bread mid water men were given a square
meal , which they apparently enjoyed as
they thought of other and better days which
bad passed away. During the afternoon the
prisoners were allowed to congregate in the
largo room on the first Moor , where they
played high live , checkers nnd other inno
cent games. '
The police net failed'to make a large haul
on Christmas eve , and as a result only.a lim
ited number of individuals partook of the
hospitalities at the city jail. Those who
were there were given three full meals , not
withstanding the fact that only two are on
the every day schedule. The extra meal
was served at noon und consisted of turkey ,
roast meats and vegetables , with an abund
ance of cranberry sauce.
At the County Ilimpltiil.
The management of the county hospital
followed the time-honored custom of iriving
the inmates of that institution a
turkey dinner , with the usual side
dishes of plum pudding and cran-
Jierry sauce. Fifteen fat turkeys were
slaughtered for the occasion. The dinner
was served in the great dining room in the
basement , where seventy persons sat down
to the feast. Those who were sick , or unable
to get down stairs were served in their
rooms. After dinner was over , all of the in
mates congregated in the largo room in tlxo
south wing of the building , where the after
noon was spent in a social way , interspersed
with singing , instrumental music and relig
ious services , conducted by some of the pas
tors from the city.

PACKING BRODDCT PRICES

DUE TO A SHORTAGE IN THE CROP

Sprciilntnr.i Caught ( in the ,
Wrong Mhle.
CHICAGO , 111. , Dee. 23 , Thcro Is a dull
ness about Paeklngtown nowadays that has
not been paralleled for many days. Since
December 1 , 5XH ( ) men have been discharged
nnd the plants of the big packers are hardly
working at their full capacity. Kor Is this
the only element of discouragement In the
situation. For the indications are that un
less the supply of hogs Is materially and
speedily increased , further reductions will
bo necessary In the now small operating
fortes of the big packers. -
This unusual condition of things In Pack
ing-town , and the consequent hardship
brought upon the large laboring population
of that locality have been brought about by
a most unusual shortage in the hog crop.
This shortage is readily shown by the follow
ing statistics : From November t to Decem
ber ttl , western packing was but 2,280,001) ) ,
ag.iinst ,1,820,000 for the same pariod last
year , showing a shortage of 1,510,003 hogs for
the west. Chicago , for the sumo period this
year , packed 780,00. . ) against 1.4T,000 ( ) last
year , showing a shortage for this market of
nearly 700,000.
of l.cMillnt ; 1'ueliorn.
Treading packers , while they assert that
this condition of affairs was foreseen in part ,
yet admit that the shortage greatly exceeds
the calculations ot the shrewdest among
them , and that some of them were caught
on the wrong side. of the market. They ad
mit thnt there does not seem to bo any im
mediate relief from the embarrassing situa
tion , since t be shortages dallyibccomo greater
and some of them go ns far as to assert that
no relief can come until the next spring crop
of bogs is marketed.
Usually at this time of the year , the
packing houses are running at their fullest
capacity , in view of the demand which will
bo made during the coming season , but now
the remarkable scarcity of heirs and the big
prices asked for what the market really has
make t-be packing of pork a decidedly costly
and unprofitable business. The packing
necessary to supply the present orders is
done , but with us small a force of men as
possible. Commission men doing business at
the yards figured that the crop wouhfbo
short and the prices high , but not to its pres
ent extent , and no wonder that they did not
notice and prepare for it sooner.
The shortage they aswribo to U variety of
causes but Mr. Strahorn , of the firm of Stra-
horn & Co. , who have been in business lor
over thirty years , and is amply qualified by
experience to speak on the matter , said
yesterday : "Tho heavy spring rains played
a prominent part in the question. In many
sections the continual wet weather killed off
the spring crop of pigs that would be mar
ketable now , then the. low prices of the
product early in the spring made the farmers
careless and instead of keeping : their hogs as
they usually do , until the holidays , they
started earlim- and crowded them with
cheap corn and sent them to the market.
31 list Wutt for .Supplies.
"AVe will have to.wait for hogs to mature
and in the meantime prices will naturally be
high.
"There is , and will be. a demand for fresh
pork in this country , and there is a demand
from Europe for salted and pickled meals.
hese demands talto about all the receipts ,
caving few indeed' ' for packers to put in
heir collars. They rte not want to buy , but
rhat they need anil look for is heavier re-
eipts Inter on.1
Charles A. Mallory , marnger for Mallory ,
Son & Zimmerman , said : "Tho receipts
.bow . that the supply of raw material is
imall compared with last year , under a fresh
'emnnd on shipping and local and export
ireot. The small receipts have been taken
rccly and prices of hogs have been advanced
o almost double the price of one year ago.
The prices for provisions have also advanced
iarply , but have not kept pace with the ail-
ice in bogs , and consequently the season
ins not been a profitable ono for the
) acker. "
.T. C. Ifately of .1. C. Hately & Co. also
scribed the shortage in hogs lo the un
usually wet spring , duriasr which many of
bo young pigs were drowned.
"It certainly is an unusual condition of the
mg market , " he said , "and I do not look for
: my change for the better for several
nonths. "
.lames Br.idbum , P. D. Armour's bend
. nltlo buyer , and who received the inforiiia-
.ion n month ago when the price of pork
.vent . up , is s-.iid lo have added f.5,000 to his
Dank account.
In the summer , in anticipation of a good
ime coming , pork was sold short , the expec
tation being that packing could be done in
: hi winter. The winter is now here and the
u'ico is now double that of a month ago.

sorting counting multiplying-adding figur
ing up the profits and losses-getting ready to
say ' 'good bye" to prosperous old " 92" to bid
a warm welcome to the bonnle New Year " 93" .
A'I's ' confusion throughout the store goods
promiscuously piled aroundstocks disarranged
such an overhauling. In a business of such
magnitude as ours , some odds and ends wW ,
accumulate in spite of closcstcare. This isour
week to dispose of them. Whenever , in this
general overturning of stocks a broken line of
any sort or kind of goods is found be it over
coats suits hals shoes or little fixin's it's
marked down at once without regard to what
it's coslto us to such a figure , as to amply re
pay you the discomfort of the muss'ws're in
to buy it at "inventory prices/ ! .
