An f tho directors expressed themsolves
as being greatly encouraged with the suc
cess that has attended their efforts thus
tar. It was quite the prevailing opinion
that If $100,000 should bo subscribed by
Janunry it 1901, the labor should not have
been considered ln vain. Inasmuch as this
sum was not only reached but passed by
17,010 thero was cause for rejoicing and for
renowed encouragement.
Monday afternoon the directors will hole
another meeting, but It ls not anticipates
that any business of Importance will be
transacted at that time, since Monday will
bo the last day of the year. January, hor
ever, will be the pivotal month ln tho audi
torium enterprise and a "long pull and a
pull all together" will be tho means, the
.directors believe, of accomplishing tho" per
formanco they havo mapped out for the
opening month of the new year.

cry newspapers about the streets at a
Chrlstmus banquet. In accordance with
tho custom the lads wcro blddeu to a feast
last night iu the Douglas street cafe known
as "Jim's place." Ten tables, having sentH
for seven at each of them, wcro spread
with neat, whlto linen and equipped with
shining cblnawarc. Provisions wero made
for an overflow of banqueters nt tho long
lunch counter that runs the length ot tho
room ln front of fifty stools. To havo some
thing ln tho way of holiday decorations tho
waiters dropped a spray of holly here and
thero near tho plates and suspended a few
wreaths from tha walls.
Many of tho merchants about tho city
contributed liberally to tho spread with
supplies of (dibits. Kor dessert Dave
O'Drlon gave fifty pounds of candy. Mbb-
tcrman & Wright furnished ten pounds of
nuts. W. It. Hcnnott gavo llftecn poundB

Bales for Tho Bee, and tho other was Billy
Loftus, who nets ln tho samo capacity for

tho number of 100 In front of the restaurant
door promptly nt S o'clock, hungry nnd
turbulent. Thero wero boys In tho crowd
of every description and social degree
Urchins for whom Chrlstman dinner
formerly meant a gllmpso through a frosted
window at steaming viands served on cafe
tables, and lads from tho best homes In the
city, who sell papers to cam pin money nnd
who attended the banquet "for fun," Many
of tho youngsters wero of tho variety who

Cut Out (iUNtntory Implement).
Whon tho restaurant doors wcro thrown
open they entered with tho velocity of n

less than sixty seconds to scut tho crowd.
Liberal portions ot steaming hot turkey,
cranberry feauco, sweet potatoes, pens and
mlnco plo wero brought to euch of tho

Many of them handled their knives nnd
forks as awkwardly ob u dlllo

and not a few discarded these
Implements altogother nnd ato with
tholr flngero. When tho last vestiges of
tho feast wero removed, tho articles con
tributed by the merchants of tho city wero
distributed by lottery. As many numbers
as thero wcro boys wero placed In en
velopes and passed around for euch to
chooso from. When It was nil over tbcro
