. ‘>--
Help Make it a Merry Christmas.

Real riches are possessed only by
those who give, lasting poverty afflicts
the men and women who refuse to be
charitable. There have been-many op-
portunities to do great good in the
town in which we live and to family
and friends on our usual. joyous Christ-
mas anniversaries, but never was the
need so great as now. Along period
of commercial depression has natural-
ly resulted in the enforced idleness of
thousands who would be industrious if
opportunity was afforded. The fact
presses itself upon us just now, that
hardly ever in the history of our coun-
try and its industries has there been so
much suffering as there promises to be
this winter. Men out of employment
are not to be counted by the thousands,
but by the hundreds of thousands, and
they are to endure pangs of destitution
from no fault of their own, but in con-
sequence of an unfortunate condition
through which the county is slowly
working its way it is to be devoutly
hoped, toward a restored prosperity.
Nevertheless, the mournful probability
is that there is to be little or no work
for this hungry army of unfortunates
before the spring arrives. Many inde-
pendent families within our borders
are without the means with which to
procure food or fuel or clothing; they
must be helped. The rich alone will
not, nor is there any reason why they
should. assume the entire burden; the
possessors of moderate means must as-
sist. Dilation open the beauties of
charity is unnecessary, relation of har-
rowing incidents uncalled for, quern-
lous hesitancy out of place. This is
the time to give. Give to the extent of
your ability and cultivate generous ex-
pansion. Deny yourself some pleasure
to give and thereby secure a greater
pleasure. Give with discrimination,
though; not to every glib petitioner
who haunts your door or stops you on
the street, but to an organization capa-
ble of doing the best with all entrusted
to it, where you are personally familiar

_with an applicant’s needs. Even then,
a Special Christmas gift bestowed
through some church home missionary,
or Grand Army Relief Corps of humane
faithful women, will be sure to effect
most beneficial results. Above all, re-
member to give something, if ever so
little, to make some poor destitute
soul’s Christmas the brighter. Do not
forget the poor children. Let no child
of want be passed by. Remember also
that he gives doubly who gives cheer-
fully and quickly, and so may all help
to make it, in part at least, a Merry
Christmas. '

The voice of Scripture is—the poor
ye have always with you and whenever
ye will ye may do them good; it is more
blessed to give than to receive; the
Lord loveth a cheerful giver; whoso
giveth a cup of water in the Christ
spirit, giveth as unto Him; whoso giveth
to the poor lendeth to the Lord. None
could wish for better security and so
may every one know and feel the bliss
of giving, while helping on the coming
anniversary, to swell the angel chorus,
“Peace on earth, good will to men.”

The GAZETTE extends the earnest
hope and wish that thus may all its
multitudes of readers help to make for
themselves and others, A Merry Christ-
mas.

Help for the “'isconsin Miners.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 23.~Wi’th a
plentiful supply of food and more cloth-
ing than they really need, the condition
of the unemployed miners on the Gogebic
range is now vastly difierent to what it
was before Gov. Peck issued his proclama—
tion to the generous people of Wisconsin,
calling upon them for aid for the suffer-
ers. The most welcome and reassuring
intelligence, however, is to the eflect that
one of the largest mines on the range will
soon resume operations and thus furnish
work for many idle but willing hands.
Col. William J. Boyle has received a letter
from Treasurer Regan, of the relief com-
ml-tteeat‘Hnrley in which he'said the
.oWnersyo’f-the Montreal mine who. reside
:at Cleveland * have indicated that, they
will shortly resume the mining of ore.
This is one of what is expected will be a
series of resumptious by various mines in
she north. . '

No Indictment. for Chester Bridge.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 23. —— The
grand jury ended its session here and re-
ported to Judge Fessenden. No indict-

ing that it "was guilty of neglect of duty
in its failure to employ a competent engi-
neer to oversee the work of the bridge.”

'i‘Re'portsrof the ;-D.o.w-nfall of

Peixoto Discredited.

Cable Dispatches Received Yesterday.

Say Nothing of the Overrhrow of’

Rio ~0pinions of Coffee Merchants-

and the Brazilian inIiister.

_NEW Yong, __De_e. 23. ——The'sensational
report published yesterday, to the effect
that Rio Janeiro had fallen into the hands

of Admiral Mello, and that Peixoto had—

resigned in favor of'the rebel admiral,
was not for a. moment credited by Brazil-
ian merchants in thiscity, and dispatches

, received in Washington was not given any

credence at the Argentine legation there.

' Half a dozen coffee merchants, who were
seen, also discredited the story. One said:
“The story bears its own refutation on' its
face. If Rio had fallen and 'wasinow in
the hands of Mello the wires could not
work fast enough to carry the informai

tion to the outside world. The first thing .

Mello would do would be to announce his.
victory to other nations.

The fact that the censorship of the cable'

exercised by the government of Peixoto
still continues is proof positive that Mello
is not in power. ~ .

“Cable dispatches were received by coffee
merchants here all day from Rio, and do
you suppose, if the story were true, that
Mello would have prevented our agents
from announcing the fact, or 'that he
had faited to do so? The man who sent

* the story says he could not get any reply

to his dislpatches sent south, and that dis-
patches from the sOuth have evidently
been delayed. This means nothing. Press
dispatches have all along been subjwt to
a censorship. I All dispatches by cable
come by way of Pernambuco, the landing
place of the cable. We get our business
dispatches through all right, and have re-
ceived messages to day. If Mello wars in
possession of Rio you may be sure there
would be such a riot in Pernambuco us
would leave the matter beyond doubt.”

At the office" of the Brazilian consul
general, in State street, it was said that
no news of the fall of Rio had been re-
ceived nor was the report believed.

At the office of Charles R. Flint and 00.
it was said that there was no truth in the
report that Rio de Janeiro had fallen. It
was an idle rumOr, started by the enemies
of the republic.

Salvador de Mendonca, the Brazilian
minister, also denied the report and said
that he had received dispatches frOm Rio
in the course of the day which made no
mention of anything unusual. If Rio
had fallen he certainly would have known
it. In fact no one, who is familiar iwith
the situation in Brazil believed, the report
for a moment. ‘ '_

The Nictheroy is still at Pernambuco
and the America was expected to join
her there to night. Then the boats ~Will
proceed southward in company to' fight
the Aquldaban "and the Republics." It is
thought that the repairs to 'the’Bahia and
the Tiradentes, two of the ships which re-
main loyal to Peixoto, have been com-
pleted and they were on their way north
from Montevideo to meet the rebel fleet.

Urging Tax on Oleomnrgarine.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.——At a meeting of
the Merchants, exchange, .to'Rtake some ac-
tion toward preventing the sale of elec-
margarine and butterine, in violation of

the law governing the sale, a. letter was

read from Baltimore suggesting co-opera-
tion between the merchants of the two
cities in the fight against oleomargarine,
and suggesting that a tax of five cents
per pound' be placed on oleomurgarine
and butterine. It was finally voted as
the sense of the meeting that a tax of
seven cents per pound ‘should be placed on
all oleomargariue and butterme, and a
committee consisting of W. ll. Duck-
worth, \V. Wuiser and J. H. Snyder Were
appointed to confer with the committee
on agriculture, and on ways and means of
the national house of representatives with
that end‘in view.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.——-President Gom-
pcrs of the American Federation of Labor
left this city for the east without accom-
plishing a settlement of the differences

not offering an alternative to; the boss
brewers. A boycott had been ordered by

the national body, but Mr. _ Gompers re- .

fused to put it in force.

THE WORK‘ OF CONGRESS.

 

Fairly Good Results the Outcome of
Its Sixteen Duys‘ Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Bit—The house of
representatives made pretty good use of
its sixteen d‘ays’ ante-holiday session.
Some thirty bills Were sent -over to the
senate. They include bills for the admis-
sion of Utah and Arizona. to the union as
states, a bill to regulate the employment

vessels, several measures relative to the
land laws, the irgent deficiency and
Chinese exclusion appropriation bills and
anumber of other measures of less im-
portance. The New Mexico statehood
bill was discussed and general debate on
it nearly closed. The conference on the
report on the New York and New Jersey
bridge bill was agreed to. The house
committees labored industriously and
kept the calendar well supplied with grist
for the mills to grind.

The. ways and means committee re—

ported their tariff bill. The appropria-
tions committee reperted the fortifications
bill and made good headway on the legis-
lative, sundry civil, pension and District
of Columbia appropriation bills. The
naval and military =committees, be-
sides reporting on a number of measures,
got fairly started on their appropriation
bills, as did the committee on rivers and
harbors with its important appropriation
measure.
. The banking and currency - committee
continued its consideration, begun during
the extra session, of the proposition to re-
peal the tax of 10 per cent. on the issues
of state banks. 'lhe matter came to ii
vote and resulted in a tie. A motion to
reconsider the tie vote was made and car-
ried, but before the vote on the passage of
the measure could be taken the preaches
of the members was required in the
house, and the committee adjourned.
Besides the unconditional repeal of this
tax the question of repealing it condi-
tionally was discussed.

DEATH ENDS A‘ CHURCH now.-

“fisher-spoon Out of
Reach of Vestries.

PATCHOGUE, L. 1., Dec. 23.—At a meet-
ing of the vcstry of St. Paul’s Protestant
Episcopal church, it was agreed to pay the
widow of the Rev. Charles S. Wither-
spoon, the pastor of the church who died
a few days ago, $250 which she claimed
was due her late husband by back salary.
Mrs. Witherspoon held the keys of the
church and refused to give them up until
the money was paid. Mrs. Witherspoon
has sent the keys to the bishop and
turned over all the books and papers be-
longing to the church. This, so far as
Mrs. Witherspoon is concerned, ends one
of the bit-Aterest church rows on Long
Island. > The vestry charged Rev. Wither—
spcon with misrepresenting the financial
standing of the church and with misap‘
propriating its funds to his personal use.
This the minister denied and fought his~
accusers with much bitterness. The ac-
cusations caused a split in the church and
many families hereabouts who were previ-
ously the best of friends, are now ene-
.mies. Mrs. Wither-spoon will remove
from here at once to the adjoining village
of Bellport.
