Walters , of the ilro depart ment , wns most agreeably surprised yester day innrintiK by the moil in his charge , who presented linn with nn elegant gold watch. The affair was very neatly managed by the fire laddies. The big boll on the central sta tion was cut out from the circuit , nnd an alarm turned in from house No. 4 , on Upper Broadway. That brought the entire depart ment , including Chief Walters , to the spot in short order. On arriving there the chief was invited to step forward , nnd Mr. J. n. Dietrich presented the watehwlth appropriate remarks. The recipient was completely sur prised , but imitintrecl to express his thanks for the honor done him as well as for the handsome token of esteem. The greatest surprise , however , was yet to coine. .As eoon as ho had presented Chief Walters with his watch , Mr. Dietrich turned to Assistant Chief Nicholson nnd presented him with n line silver watch. The assistant was too as tonished to reply. Ho had been nctlvo in per fecting the arrangements for the Ilrst pre sentation , nnd when ho was called up was too utterly astounded to speak.

A Day of Pence Willi ( lifts of Good Will-Siicnk Thief CniiRlit- Mnrn MKlit Wanted Sonic Ohjcut. How flic lnyVnn Celebrated. Christmas iloy in tlio IJltifTs passed as others have done in p.ist j'cnra , very quietly and yet joyously. Upon every corr.cr was heard the fnmtliur jtrcetitiK , "A Mcrr ; ChristmaV n * frirnd exhibited to fricni the plft whtoli Simla Clans had brought him UnrlnR the c.irly hours of the day a feu stores were oponr-d to deliver purchase * of the day before , but tlioro was no attempt to "do business. " Tlioro were numberless re unions , and families broken by removals mid marriages were untliorcJ once more , with out the loss of one , nround the family board. At many tables there were vacant chairs , and as the Invocation for the blessliiR oi heaven was raised many nn cyo was dlmtnci and hearts grew sad. Hut they are the changes the years bring to all the record of human life. At St. Paul's. In some of the churches religious services were hold. That at St. Paul's Kpiscopid church was most appropri ate and onloviitito. At 10:31 : a. tn. , the rec tor , Hov. T.J. Muehiiy , delivered an excel lent discourse.

" Tlio work has been in good hands , is well rehearsed , neil will prove an enjoyable entertainment. First llaptlsti Church Last evening the children and adult members of the First Haptist Sunday school and church gathered In their edifice. There was little attempt nt formallty.no regular programme of exercises having hcun prepared. H was a merry crowd and with songs and short speeches the hours passed most pleasantly. There was an old fashioned Christinas tree , loaded to the top with beautiful gifts for the children , and a genuine live Santa Claus. Every child re ceived a present at Santa's hands. A pleasing feature was the voluntary giving to the poor. Many articles which will make the worthy poor more comfortable and happier , wore brought topcthcr by those who came. To day these articles will bo placed where they will do the most pood. Hethany Haptist Chnrch At the same time there was a joyous gathering at the Hethany Haptist church. The scholars of the Sunday school gathered and spent a season in healthy enjoyments furnished by the teachers and adult members. The Christinas tree with its fruitage of wealth for the boys and girls , was there. In the good cheer exhibited there was that which promises much for the future of this young and rapidly growing church. Mites From the Motor. Thetnotor line did a latul ofllco business. During the forenoon tlio rush was from Omaha to Council Hlufi's. Every tram was packed to its limit. Most , of these persons spent the day with friends here. It was not altogether n one-sided ar rangement , however , for many Uiuffitcs ate their turkey with their Omaha frientts , the motertlolng.by far the larger share of the carrying business. A good service was ren dered , trips being made in about twenty five minutes. Ucyond the sneak thieving nar rated elsewhere , there were no accidents or incidents worthy of special note. ' The switch at tlio west end of the bridge is nearly completcO. Two more cars have ar rived and in four or five days a ten-minuto service will Uo put on. The cars are well heated and the trip is made a most conforta- blo one. The hotels were well patronized , although many regular quests accepted invitations to dine with private families , somewhat dimin ishing the number that would otherwise have filled the dining halls/ Still there wore plenty to do justice to the splendid Christ mas banquets spread at the princinal hostler- ies. The saloons did a rushing business dur ing the entire day and evening , vicmcf with the motor in securing u monopoly of the busi ness. Disturbances were scarce , as the po lice were on the alert , and promptly looked up all drunks and too hilarious parlies.

Among his greatest ami happiest was the caring for the pupils of the institution for the deaf and ilumb. The family is of goodly size , there being 275 pupils and about fifty oftlcers , teachers and employes. To core for every member of this great fair.lly , and make the day n happy one In every detail , Is enough to malic the head dizzy , Santa had able assist ants , however , Superintendent Ilothcrt prov ing to be a host within himself , and his wor thy wife , the matron , being equally active In her department. Tito children spent Christ mas eve very Joyously. The chupol was very handsomely decorated , festooned with green , nnd glittering with holiday baubles. In the center stood as beautiful a Christmas tree as was over seen. It was fully twenty feet high , nnd adorned elaborately. When lighted and surrounded by the happy faces it , was , a picture Indeed. The early part of the evening was devoted to nn entertainment on the stage. The reci tations wore In the sign language. A very amusing hat drill was given wellby six boys. Tableaux were given with charming effect. A scries of comical shadow pictures closed the programme with great merriment. n'J'lio rest of the evening was given to re freshments unit social enjoyment. The pupils received bags of popcorn , nuts , candies and fruits. Those wore put up in attractive und hoifntlful packages. There was dancing , strangely enough without music , nn orches tra for them being needless. It is surpris ing , however , how gracefully they can dance , keeping cxenllunt time , and going through all the usual llguros and steps. Yesterday morning there was nn oven liapptar time , The pupils were seated in the chapel , while Prof. Wyckoff gave them a Christmas tulle. In the meantime the boxes nnd parcels received from friends were dis- [ rjHuted through the various rooms. To tkifst ) tvero iMjded numerous gifts by the In stitution , soffld Oi LUP PUPilf' ' "Ot having friends nulo to send tlictil em. After the close or the exorcises in the chapel tiiS pupils went to their rooms , and each found uponlii or her bed the elf ts. A happier scene could not bo Imagined , livery pupil received some gifts. gifts.A Christmas dinner was served. Some idea may be gained of the work of prepara tion by the fact that over seventy turkffye were rooked. It took u whole barrel of cran berries far the sauce , and to make the mluco pics 110 ! pounds of meat was required. Following this came a series of surprises for Superintendent II. W. Hothert nnd nib cutlmuulo wlfu , Tbe teachers raiding at the Institution presented 'them with h beau tlful silk umbrella. The .ofllcors nnd em ployes came in with n full china dinner set and the domestics in the various department with si large group photograph of themselves The gifts presented showed the esteem n which the superintendent , otl'l ' matron nrc held by all who meet them in dally contact They wcro nil received with the highest ex pressioni of appreciation nnd regard. Superintendent IJothcrt Is a strong com binatlon of executive ability and big licarlcdnoM. The arrangements for malting the children happy clearly indicate this It is no easy task to receive so many hundred packages nnd parcels , sec that each one Is properly delivered , notify the friends send ing them that they have been received nil right , planning that they shall be nil dis tributed at the sumo time , nnd perfecting every detail for so huge a Christmas gath ering. For those friendless ones gifts had to bo selected , or mado. so that none might be slighted. The merchants of the city gen erously donated some articles nnd many others wcro provided by Mrs. Ilothcrt mill the various departments. The trustees of the Institution authorize ) ! Mr. Uothcrt to select for them suitable gifts for the school. Ho wisely secured some Indian clubs , dumb bells and inno''cnt games , chcs * . checkers , etc. These arc given to the school ns a whole to bo used in the gymna sium and playrooms. There have been crent changes wrought in and about the institution of late. The elec tric plant is one of the greatest. There are four hundred Incandescent lights so.iU.orod through the buildings , so that there is not n dnrlc corner or nook. When lighted at night It looks like a fairy city. The superintend ent tins had It so arranged that by a simple turn of the wrist lie can give signals by these lights In any und all parts of the build ing , lie can tell the children to make less noise , go to bed , warn them of a lire , or give them any noudcd information In accordance with a prearranged code of signals. As they depend upon the eye , rather than the car , this Clectric signal arrangement Is very val uable. The heating nnd ventilation are as per fectly arranged as the lighting. f.Iuagps in the & porintcmlenl'a oflleo indicate even the cou rt..km of the great boilers , and he can see for himself that the rooms are not allowed to get either too cold or too warm. For tire protection there are escapes and hose for every part of the building. Watch men are on duty all night , seeing that the temperature is kept suitable , and that no ac cidents occur. With commendable thoughtfulness - fulness the custom of having a man watch man for the girls'part of tlio building hus been changed , anil n viomun watchman is placed on the lookout there. A passenger elevator is now running , though not fully completed. It Is the only institution for the deaf nnd ilumb thus fav ored , it is run by water , and every contri vance is being used to prevent till possibility of accident. The water supply Is now nbundant andcon- viently arranged. The artesian well for a year furnished the water , sending it to the topmost story , but it was found that , the supply needed some change , so a reservoir has been built , and a pump of large capacity now forces the water. Hot and cold water , closets , bathrooms , and nil needed comforts for the pupils are conveniently arranged , so that the sanitary conditions are almost per fect. As a result a healthier , cleaner gather ing of children can be found nowhere. The health of the institution is furthered by the food. The storerooms , bakery , kitchen and dining-room are all so conducted as to tend to the welfare of the children. All are scrupulously clean. In such rooms as need it cement floors and wainscots have been put in , doing away with all possibility for rats and mice , and drains und ventilation arc kept so clean that no unsavory odors can creep in. One of the greatest of the late improve ments is that in the hospital department. The HfUi Jloor , which was simply aji attic , bus boon transformed into one oi the most complete hospitals to bo found anywhere. Tlio various wards are made very attractive , the views from the windows being lovely , the rooms lijiht and airy , supplied wita hot and cold water , closets , bath-rooms , etc. The nurse has conveniences in a separate room for proparintr delicacies. The ph.vsicaii has his room with all needed appliances at hand. One ward is called a preparatory room , where a sick onp can , ba cared for if there are any indications of any contagious disease. When these are devel oped sufficiently to determine , the nntlcnt can bo easily removed to the contagious ward , or to one of the others. Tim conta gious ward is so arranged that no infection can possibly enter another part of the build ing. Hy speaking tubes and other contriv ances easy communication can be had with other parts of the building , and without any danger of contagion. The health of the pn- | iils is evidently good , for the hospital de partment is empty , not , one being even in the convalescent ward. A viiilt to the institution and a mingling with the children reveals a very happy state of affairs. The avowed policy of the present management is that the institution is for the pupils , rather than for the officers and em ployes. In every arrangement there is evinced n desire to make these people hap pier and better. They are taught table man ners , and the tin cups and battered plates common to reformatory institutions are re placed by the crockery more in keeping with > uch nn educational institution. The pupils iinvo their meals served iirst. la fact , they ire ilrst in everything. This was pleasingly llustrated in the distribution of fruits and candles. The smaller ones wcro the first to receive their bags , and the older and larger ones , who could bettor brook a little delay , cumo afterwards. The pupils show in , heir mien nnd appearance that they feel that they have a home , und are nt home n it. Their individuality is also respected. They are not numbered simply , ns though they were branded cattle , but cuch hus his or icr peculiar wants nnd wishes considered. Their clothing , their beds , their places at the Lablo , their personal property , is treated as really theirs to have and control , under such general regulations as are of course necessary n such a largo household. Prof. Wyckoff , who has charge of the edu cational department , is keeping that fully ibreast of the others. The course of intel lectual training is thorough nnd successful. In the art department there Is good work joing done also , as the numerous pictures upon the walls throughout the institution : estlfy , they being all the work of pupils. I'lio industrial departments are giving the pupils practical training , a portion of each day bciner devoted to these. Iowa can well feel proud of its Institution. Its legislators should not DO niggardly in making appropria tions to further the efficiency of the institu tion. There are numerous needs , and the ex penditures made by the trustees show that the money of the people is not being used for more luxuries , but for the bettering und the education of the pupils themselves.
