A. e. CHRISTMAS
TREE A DELIGHT
There was uot a child within the
confines ot Skagway without a
Christmas present yesterday. From
the babies of a few weeks old, to
the lads and lassies of fifteen, rich
and poor, wh'te and colored, they
all partook of the generous bounties
of Santa Claus. The preseuts given
by the Christmas treo committee
were not stingy, but each and every
one represented in value from one I
to three dojlars, and with oach and
every present there wont a large
bag of candy and nuts ? two hun
dr d of them, furnlshod by the Arc
tic Brotherhood and its contributors.
At eight o'clock the dooro of the
Brotherhood hall were thrown open,
just as tho train from the north I
end, with the boys and girls and
older people, steamed up In front j
o* the building. Seats for the
children were reserved in the front]
rows and they crowded in there a i
smiling, happy mass of llttlo human- 1
ity.
Dr. L. Keller was chosen to
make the opening remarks and he i
briefly told of the orgauiiatlon of
the Arctic Brotherhood on Febru
ary 26th, thirteen years ago; how
in each camp throughout tho juris
diction they were doing Just like
thoy were In Camp Skagway No. 1
? giving all the children presents
and making the winter festival one i
of Joy to hundreds. The Arctic
Brotherhood now have a member
ship, said )?r. Keller, of four thous
and, the brothers being scattered
over all parts of tho world, but
wherever they were thoy usually
sent a contribution to their home
camps for the distribution of pres
ents at Christmas time. Then he
told of the earlier days when the
parents of some of tho little child
ren present wero little children then,
but were now grown up into Arctic
Brothers enjoying the sight of their
own children in holiday merriment.
Mayor J. M. Tanner then spoke
to the children, telling them that
Snta Claug had just telephoned
that he was at Bennett and would
arrive in a half hour. Then other
messages came bringing the Patron
of children nearer and nearer, un
til his sleigh bells could be heard
outside tho hall, and excitement
among the little ones became In
tense; then the window opened and
old Santa appeared in regulation
attire with his large pack of pres
ents. Oh, how the children flocked
around him, many of them touching
his garments in reverential awe and
others shaking his hands and calling
him by endearing terms.
Then the presents were distribut
ed by H. H. Draper, Tony Dortero,.
J. M. Tanner and Dr. L. S. Keller
with their assistants. After the
children were all supplied, pres
ents were given to the older peo
ple and the remaining bags of can
dles were given out indiscriminately.
The orchestra, consisting of Oscar
Selmer, L. C. Read and P. H. Ganty
furnished music, little boys and
girls acted as ushers In carrying
around presents and ffverything!
passed off, Just as everything should
pass off, In merriment and loving
kindness
While the Arctic Brotherhood
was the prime mover in the event,
many of the presents snd cash con
tributions were made by Skagway
merchants and citizens
The beautiful Christmas presents
which were on exhibition at Kina
se's Jewelry store, were given out
Christmas eve. The first gift, a
set of mink furs, went to the hold
er of ticket No. SS5, the owner of
which has not called for the pres
ent. 0. C. Slpprelle, No. 1001, se
cured the community silver present,
and Dell Cowan, No. 2559, the
gentleman's watch. The owner of
ticket No. 3406, which calls for the
ladles watoh, has not yet been lo
cated. The fourth gift, a half dot
en China tups and saucers went to
No. 2048, held by T. Van Hook.
One foot of snow foil yesterday
and last night according to the re
port of the weather bureau. Early
this morning a gentle rain came
and now the snow has gone with
the exception of a few banks that
piled up. There was Just snow and
calmness enough to make Chrlst
mns night an Ideal one.
