AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

The ladies of the Christian church upeiied the dining room of the new church to the public yesterday. Tney served dinner and supper, and most generous and excellent were the meals in quality and quautity. The dining room was supplied with seven long tables, seating eighty persons. The tables were astiiy arranged with fine linens, dainty dishes and beautiful flowers. Many a hungry person visited this dining room ami left with a grateful heart, a satisfied appetite, and many words of praise for the cooks. About four-hundred people partook of the tempting turkey dinner and about one-hundred and fifty were ready for supper. The ladie3 are to be congratulated on their success and also on the convenience of their new church, dining room and kitchen. The regular Saturday market will hereafter be held in these rooms. The church was enriched by yesterday's venture about $130.

I. O. M. DINNER.

Wenona Tribe, No. 182, Improved Order of Red Men, and Orinoco Council. No. 59, Daughters of Pocahontas, of this city, gave their annual Thanksgiving dinner to the poor children. About 150 little ones were entertained at the wigwam of the tribe with a sumptuous rtpast and dinners were sent out to a great many who were sick and could not attend. The I. O. R. M. band furnished some of their excellent music for the occasion. When dinner was ready to be seryed and the children were iu their places at the tables, Rev. M. E. Nethercut, of the M. E. church, usked an appropriate blessing, and the task of satisfying the inner child began, which was in one round to a finish.

The order is indeed a benevolent one, and their belief is carried out in a commendal le manner. This Tribe and Council are composed of representative men and women, and will in the future as in past, rlo good whenever the opportunity presents itself, After dinner the Warriors, Squaws and«Papooses engaged in a grand social for fully two hours, when all went home, r* joicing that they had doae so much for the relief of the poor of our city.

CAKE WALK.

The colored folks had a very ^enjoyable time at their church last night, and it proved to be a financial success. The cake walk had four contestants, but none seemed to shine like Harry Taylor and Miss Emma Hampton, for they walked away with that cake in a manner that caused a good hearty laugh by all who were present. The church realized about $25 out of the 'possum supper

FOOT HALL.

The Greenfield foot ball eleven met the Charlottesville team yesterday afternoon on the east school house gridiron, and defeated them by a score of 18 to 0. The game was a very interesting one and was clean from slugging and rough playing of all kinds. The main feature of the game was the brilliant playing ot Scott, Hinchman and Duncan. Most of our boys were inexperienced in this game and could not mak-. a very good showing, but were well pleased with their victory. The line up was as follows: Greenfield. Charlottesville.

IN A TUrtKISH HARCM.

There Are Women Old and Young, Tall and Wrinkled. An account of the visit I paid to the zenana or harem of a Mohammedan nawab in a native state may not be without interest.

A carriage and mounted escort of soldiers were sent at 8 o'clock one morning to convey us to the castle. Agate in the immense walls of the compound led us into the ill kept gardens. Passing from these into the courtyard and through long colonnades and untidy passages, we were conducted finally into the zenana. A large and lofty room, with walls on three sides and a colonnade opening on to a courtyard, was the apartment in which we were received. Chairs were brought for our accommodation, but with the exception of the matting on the floor the place was without furniture.

Women, some young and tall, others old and wrinkled, passed and repassed while we waited for the begum to appear. They were all dressed in the same fashion. Trousers of light colored damasks or satin clothed them from the waist. These pantaloons were baggy above, but so close fitting from the knee downward that they have to be sewed up after they are on. They are unsewed and removed once a week for the bath. A short bodice, reaching just below the breast, is worn, and then round the body and over the shoulders and head is wound the sari of muslin or silk, which falls in graceful folds from the hips and shoulders. The begum kept us waiting, and we were told the reason was that she was putting on all her jewels to do us honor.

Presently she came in—a small, young woman, with an oval, immobile face and smooth, black hair. She wore tight trousers of a rich green damask and a sari of cloth of gold. On her bare ankles were anklets of uncut emeralds and diamonds, said to be worth 40,000 rupees. On her arms were a large number of jeweled bangles and armlets, on her fingers rings of beautiful rubies and diamonds. Round her neck were strings of fine pearls, and, suspended by studs of large diamonds in the outer rims of the ears, she wore across the hair at the back of the head pearls, emeralds and rubies, prettily set as a kind of collarette. The ears were pierced in several places to allow rings and jewels to be inserted, and in the nose a small diamond was worn. The little jeweled lady did not speak Euglish, and after we had admired her jewelry conversation soon came to an end.

Her wee baby was brought in dressed in colored silk, with a gold laced cap on its little bald head. The nawab joined us, and there was much lively chat over the subject of our visit to the state. In such a zenana the most rigorous seclusion of the wives is enforced—wives, I say, for in this zenana the begum was the chief and the only wife and was married the day after the death of the first begum.—London Queen.

The Countess de Castellane. The young Countess de Castellane is gaining a laudable position in Parisian society by the brilliancy of her ideas and the lavishness of her fetes, says the Boston Herald, for it appears that Miss Anna Gould that was has attempted to settle the question of big sleeves. It is

a lovely jol^e that an American countess should take a hand in fashion making, but anything for amusement, so at the Castellanes' the other night, when the cotillon was danced, madame's little plan was put into operation. Two sets of quadrilles, one with sleeveless ladies and the other with ladies in puffs, gigots, shoulder fans, etc., were formed, and judgment was passed on the effect, which will ultimately become the decision of Paris.

The ladies had to draw lots, and though some of them were not pleased to cut out their sleeves, when they entered the drawing room with lace and chiffon falling gracefully on their arms from the necks of their low bodices, showing the perfection of shoulder line and the roundness of the bust, the murmur of admiration that greeted them must have been gratifying, if not con'vincing. Then the ladies with full sleeves trooped in, and a deadly silence greeted them. But by and by the waists seemed so tiny, the heads so well poised and the faces so youthful and admirably set off by the big winglike revers, that nothing could be decided, and, to her disgust, the young countess had not succeeded in settling the grand question of the hour. Probably the ladies whose sleeves had to be ripped out have been mad ever since, and their maids also because obliged to sew them all on again.

Hatching Day at the Pet snow. KANSAS CITY, NOV. 29.—Twothousand additional entries to the midcontinental poultry and pet stock show were made yesterday, adding renewed interest to the enterprise. It was hatching day and 200 infant buff cochins were hatched.

SAMLLYQN TRIAL

Before a Spanish Courtmartial in Cuba. .,

CONSUL WILLIAMS PRESENT.

In February This American Was Charged With Illegal Acts Against the Spanish Government and Has Keen in the Cabana9

Prison Since Insurgents Are Pushing the Fighting All Along the Line. HAVANA, NOV. 29.—Advices received here from Santi Spiritus, province of Santa Clara, say that the insurgents recently attacked Fort Jicotes, near Ciego de Avillo, in the province of Puerto Principe. The garrison, it is stated, made a brave defense and the insurgents were repulsed, leaving 12 upon the field.

Lieutenant Gallego, in command of Fort Reforma, on the borders of the provinces of Santa Clara and Puerto Principe, has been besieged for three days by a numerous band of insurgents. The latter several times called upon the lieutenant to surrender, but in spite of the fact that the little garrison of the fort was without water, the place was defended until reinforcements arrived, when the insurgents retreated. The relieving column of troops, after provisioning the fort, started in pursuit of the enemy. After four hours fighting the insurgents were compelled to retreat again with a loss of 45 killed and many wounded. The troops lost seven killed and had 19 wounded.

While operating against the insurgents in the Guatenamo district of the province of Santiago de Cuba the troops have captured two insurgent camps, the enemy leaving four killed and eight wounded men in the hands of the soldiers.

The trial of General Julio Sangnily, the Cuban leader, who was arrested on Feb. 24 by Governor General Calleja on the charge of illegal acts against the Spanish government, was commenced yesterday afternoon. General Sangnily has been confined in the Cabanas fortress. There was a great crowd in the court room when the defendant was brought in unmanacled, decently dressed and escorted by several policemen.

After the usual formalities upon the opening of the trial had been gone through with, General Sanguily was called to the stand. In his testimony he denied having made any appointments with the insurgent leaders, and also denied having written letters to Dr. Betaneourt of Matanzas, demanding funds to leave with his family while he took the field in the rebel cause.

An expert in handwriting' who was called to the stand declared that the writing in the documents referred to by the state's attorney was the same as General Sanguily's. Ten other witnesses were then examined, but threw little light on the case.

The state's attorney, Senor Enjuto, then started upon liis address, and gave his assurance that he felt every day more assured of the defendant's guilt. After a speech lasting one hour he demanded of the court that General Sangnily be sentenced to imprisonmnent for life.

The counsel for the defense. Senor Miguel Viondi, was listened to as he arose aud began to speak amidst the deepest silence in the courtroom. He opened in the ^-lst vehement and eloquent style, defying that there was any ground for General Sangnily's con vie tion. The state's attorney, Senor Viondi said, was in this case misled by his Spanish ^striofic feelings, and his claim was not based upon law. He pointed out that the proceedings were boins' held under martial jurisdiction, and should accordingly be considered void, as it is contrary to the provision of the treaty between Spain and the United States, which guarantees to American citizens in Cuba, a trial by a civil tribunal of any charges brought against them—a fact already advanced by the United States Consul General Williams in his representations on behalf of Sanguily.

At a late hour the court adjourned. The tribunnal, which is organized according to the Spanish laws, consisted of President Senor Jose Pulido, Secretary Sener Odoaredo and Magistrates Pando, Benanzo, Pampillon, Aooudillo and Maydagan as jurors.

Among the spectators in the courtroom were Ramon O. Williams, United States consul general, and several ladies.
