And Are Echoed From Ibo
Piresldo , Theaters and
Ball Rooms. .
The Day Celebrated With Ununnnl
lateroit iu Omaha-
An Bra of Poaoo , Prosperity and Good
Will.
Monday was in many respects an
Ideal Christmas. The state of the
atmosphere was wintry , cheery nnd
bracing. Such as one naturally ox-
pccta to find about the Christmas tido.
It wai not unpleasant without , nor
waa it ungrateful within by the aide
of the cheerful firo. The atroota were
thronged with people tfolng to and
returning from the houses of friends
and the churches. Ernry religious ,
institution had sorvicsa appropriate tnJ
the day , and invariably the attendance
at all waa greater than over baforo on
like occasions. The pleasant fall of
onow afforded indulgence in the ex
hilarating paatimo of sleigh riding and
the dashing cutters and jingling bolls
proclaimed that the opportunity was
being Improved. Homos were bright
and happy facca cheery and hopeful ,
and indeed nothing that could have
tended to a greater appreciation wan
lacking. It will long remain fragrant
In the mojvory of Omahana.
CHURCH CHIMES.
BT. rillLOHBNA.
The Christmas services at this
church commenced at the early hour
of 5 o'clock in the morning. Despite
the fact of the unusual tlmo and the
untrodden nature of the walks , the
service waa largely attended in fact ,
early Christmas services are nl trays
wall attended by Oatholica. The al
tar presented a handsome appearance.
Those of the Blessed Virgin and St.
Joseph were brilliantly Illuminated ,
more especially the former , which had
waxen tapers of various heights
judiciously distributed over Ho
nurfaco. Immediately above the
otatuo of the Bleated Vir
gin , at whoso foot waa a wealth of
lloral offerings , hung In graceful folds ,
the veil which concealed from view a
beautiful painting of the Blessed Vir
gin , which had boon doooratod by the
Altar society. Soon after the com
mencement of mass the veil was drawn
aside , and the congregation was per
mitted to gaze upon and admire the
picture. In the flood of golden light
in which the painting stood and which
heightened its attractiveness , the work
waa warmly commended and pro
nounced a titling companion in style
and execution to the painting of St.
Philomona , unveiled a short time ago.
The mats waa celebrated by Father
.English , who also delivered a sermon
appropriate to the occasion.
The main altar was richly decorated
with flowers and studded with lighted
tapors. . The sombre nurplo covering ,
of advent , which had concealed the
polished marble facingt , had been
removed , and with it had passed away
the appoaraxco peculiar to the thought
ful period the church was celebrating.
In its atcnd shone golden lights and
bright and pleasing colors. So rich ,
so chaste and BO Imposing an altar as
that of St. Philomona's will not per
mit profueo decoration. An ordlntry
taato and skill , which would proba
bly suggest quantity rather than qunl
ity , would not succeed lu making it
attractive. The decoration Monday
waa not dictated by such tasto. Like
the altar itself , it was rich , chaste and
Imposing , and with the omblomo of
Christmas time , deftly introduced , It
had a most pleasing effect upon the
peclator.
This work of caring for the beauty
of the sanctuary Is a work of love to
the Altar society , from which certain
members are selected for the active
duty. Engaged in this work , the
ropor.or is informed , were thoMlaaos
Huelan , the Misnea Oroighton and
Misa Mary Thompaon.
At 10:30 : o'clock pontifical high
mass waa sung by Bishop O'Connor ,
assisted by Fathers English , Oolanorl ,
Kulloy , Lechloltnor , and McCarthy.
Mr. Oartland , S. J. , acted as matter
ot ceremonies. The sermon was
preached by Father English.
UHUUCli OF THE HOLY FAMILY.
As usual the sanctuary of this
church presented a handaomo appear-
anco. The altar had been freshly
marblolzod and supplied with now nnd
beautifully embroidered altar cloths.
The tabornaolo was boautilied by anew
now silken veil , and embowered fti a
profution of' beautiful flowers and
ferns. The sldo altars were also
decorated , after the manner of the
main ono. Over the latter , on the
west wall of the sanctuary , in nicely
wrought loiters of evergreen , were the
significant worda , "Gloria in Ezcolsia
Deo. " Evergreen waa also used lu
several other place , both in relieving
ntrotchoa of wall and decorating
variously designed framoi with taper
sockets. It was also twined around
the iron columns In the body of the
church. The effect of the decora
tion , BO simple , yet so beautiful and
appropriate , was most impressive. It
was such as ono would expect from
cultivated taste , during ( ho Christmas
season , and so well was the traditional
ideas of holiday decoration preserved ,
that it acted in connection with the
services nnd the occasion , us a grate
ful incentive to devotion on the patt
of the congregation , In the work of
decoration ; .nd donation of articles for
altar utolt was told the reporter that
Mrs. llodick , Mrs. Swarzlandor , Miss
Lizzie Murphy and Mr. J. II. Foenoy
had taken part.
All tbo sorvloos of the day , particu
larly the 0 o'clock mass , were largely
attended. The ' 10 o'clock mass waa
of courto the principal feature of the
day , and at this the sermon was
preached by Rev. 11. A. Shaffol.S. J.
In the afternoon vespers were sung at
the usual hour.
'
OBPHAN ASYLUM ,
The announcement made In the
columns of TIIJS BEE a few days ago
aa regards the existence of n Catholic
orphan asylum in this city was , as it
was st4. i It would bo , R surprise to
many of the members of that church
in onr midst. It had boon thought
that but few orphans , deprived of the
aesiatanca of friends , could bo found
in the city. And , when It was dis
covered that the number of waifs In
charge of the sisters wa of consider
able importance , the little homeless
ones became tho.objoct of considerable
interest and sympathy. In eastern
cities the advent of the holidays di
rects the attention of the charitable
to the asylums thereto bo found ; Mid ,
as a consequence of this attention ,
the orphans become the recipients of
money , and food and clothing ,
in many Instances , to cuch
an extent as almost to provide for
them till the next approach ot the
Christmas tido. For the first time the
Catholics In Omaha , the past few
days , hftVfl boon attracted to their or
phans , ' God's holra , the motherless , "
and with the hcpa that the latter maybe
bo remembered aa they are In the
east. People , therefore , who desire
to malco any donation , cither of
money , food , toys , or clothing , which
their children have outgrown , may bo
assured that it will bo thankfully re
ceived and conscientiously applied to
making the orphans comfortable and
happy. This year donations may bo
sent to the Union Catholic Library
rooms , to-day , or , if more convenient ,
to the asylum on St. Mary's avenue.

appropriate , consisting of roaponsivo
readings , solos , duets , quartettes ,
