now better eq.uiKsed.Ahan.<evjer,.-a.5 Christ-ir.as eve was ushered in with a new Hey& Doplin letteflrtampWg ntaeTtme;'whichit is claimed, will stamp 60,000 letters orpostal cards an hour. This is an enor-mous amount work' for-©n^m*chineto do in an hour, but nevertheless it isa fact. - The machine is owned by theInternational Po^taJ^Sirpplj^oinpany, ofNew York, and is rented to*"the govern-ment for $400 -per-ye«r. -It is -nm byelectricity and no matter : how ihin orthick the letters of postal' cards "may be,it runs them through aW stamps themwith a velocity that is astounding. Thefirst machine of this kind was put inon March 6, last, and already there areninety-four in \ise" by the igoVernme"nt.It is a self-feeder, .and . the. ent^r.e. ma-chinery of the workings, lays in a troughfilled with oil. Ev*ry T letter goesthrough is registered by a counting, ma-chine, so that at rhe end of a day's workyou can tell just.tjQW many, letters, werestamped during the day. The "new ma-chine is proving very satisfactory and iswelcomed as a Christmas gift to the St.Paul office. ~ ' - %~z, \u25a0 "

A big Christmas dinner with the accom-paniment of nuts and candy and a goodcigar relieved the monotony at the coun-ty jail yestarday, and served to remind
the forty or mora prisoners confinedthere that while a cruel world haaabridged their liberty for infractions ofits laws, yet they were not forgotten.
Each received his port-on of the tea-itprepared by big-hearted Sheriff Wagencr,
served in the cells, and while not accom-panied with service of plate it wa.3 sub-stantial and, what Is more, enjoyed by
tho participants. Second courses wereserved when demanded and each wasgiven his fill of the good things. At tfccclose cigars were distributed, the smok-ers being furnished by Prosecuting At-torney Finehout.
Rogan, who is awaiting trial for rob-bing the offices of the Anheuser-BuschBrewing company, and who has given
the ofliclais much trouble owing to his
surliness and feigned insanity, wasamong the jolliest of the crowd, anddid justice to the spread.
Sheriff Wagener, with the coming oftha new year, severs his connectionwith the county in an official way. Yes-terday's feast to the prisoners was only
one of his many acts of kindness.

MORE GORE TEAN GLORY.Christmas Party Buds Disastrously
to the Host.
A Christmas part at the houseof Will-iam Oonley, 613 I/Orient street, turnedinto a free-for-all fight and the hostcame out covered with more blood thanglory. In the progress of the mix-up,William Conroy knocked Conley to thefloor and Conley claims that before hecould regain his feet, James Joyce ap-peared on the scene with an ax" andstruck him on the head. Dr. Richesonwas called and on examining the manfound that he was not badly hurt, butdecided to have him removed to thecity hospital.
Lieut. Bahe with several patrolmenwent to the scene of the trouble andarrested Conroy, who was in a very bel-ligerent mood when he reached the sta-tion, and was also bespattered withblood. Joyce was not to be found.
fliSKIS illREV. DR. JOHN WRIGHT
PREACHED CHRISTMAS SBR-MOS AT ST. PALL'S
JB3TJS, THE SINLESS . CHILD
Topic •. of a Sermon That L»aid\u25a0'"' Stress on the Essoniiiillty of
a BeUeflu the Knz-
arose.
: Re. John Wright, of St.Fftul's Episeo-.pal church, yesterday morning: preachdhis rst sermon since his' recovery frcmthe railrcad accident he met with tometime-, r>.go. ' ' : "
In view of 'this fact,, and also that itwas Christmas, the church wasdecorated with flowers of all kindsand holly and evergreens.' The choir offifty voices Bang the new oommunicnsetting-. by Siainer, the English cemposer.
The pastor took for his text, "In theName of thy Holy Child, Jesus." Fol-lowing is his sermon in part:
"There is a remarkable resemblance inthe ancient religion of the East. Takethe Egyptian religion and, 5,000 years be-fore the birth of Christ, we find it lay mrdown certain doctrines which«are taughtin Holy &cnpt':re. We trace in it thedcetilne c< the trinity, the incarr.atio.i, t..e ;
judge of the quick and dead, and t!-edoctrine cf immortal life. . We fi;;d alo jthe doctrine of the Virgin Mother and ithe resurrection of the body. In a fainterdegree those resemblances arc detected in
: Buddhism and the religion of Zcroastcrand Confucius. How do we account fcrthese resemblances to Christianity? Mai;-sey and some other writers have aigu?d ;
' that all religions have a common or gin,but we cannot for a moment admit th's,for the logical deduction of this posilioamust be that all religions are human Intheir origin. . . ; . \u25a0 ' ... '.
"We cannot admit this for Christianity.The resemblances have been • accounterlfor by others on the supposition thatthe Jewish nation, by its early commer-cial intercourse with the nations of lhaearth, introduced the idea ofaMe*s!ah-ship. Be this as it may, the resemblancesto the Christian religion are but'su-perficial. ;--:•.'
"Without going into general ccnsidera 7tion of the subject, take this one aspect—
the holiness of the Child Christ. He isdistinctly spoken of everywhere inScripture as a Holy Child in the sense ofbeing" sinless. This is unique. BuMhanever claimed this for himself, ncr didhis disciples claim it for him. The srms13 true of Zoroaster, Confiicius and Mo-hammed. Therefore our Christm:is joyis centered about a sinless child! Thismakes his example complete.
"Let us teach childhood ihat it has inChrist a perfect example. L<ot us putinto -the Christmeas joy, th:.s idea cf a-boty childhood. Let us teach cur.children that the more their lives ar^brought in touch with the all perfectlife of Christ sc shall they reach highestdevelopment of character. This Is thegreat lesson of Christmas. Let U3 in-fuse the idea into all our festivities. Listiis not be carried away with the s n'l-ment of the festival or with the selfishidea that it is the day on which we areto receive something. But let us impressmore and more upon our youth that ro'.i-ne.ss makes character, just as it m;'.dethe character of Jzsus."
