Bright sunshine, a clear sunset and a big moon that shone in an almost cloudless skythat was the "shortest day in the or, according to the almanac, one of the two shortest days in the year. The sun rose at 7.24 A. M. and set at 4.46 P. M.

The same hour and minute of rising and setting will obtain for today, after which the days will begin to. grow longer. As yesterday had to share with today the distinction of being the least of the days, so far as duration of sunshine is concerned, it had to share also with the night before the honor of ushering in winter. But, even with all of its honors Impaired, the day was an ideal one for the ushering in of winter. To begin with, it was colder by an average of about 10" than Saturday.

At 7 A. M. the official thermometer recorded 30 and remained stationary until 9 o'clock. The maximum, was reached at noon. Toward nightfall the mercury began again to drop, and the exposed water In the streets took on a skim of ice.

GOVERNOR IN BETHANY PULPIT Says Temperance Cannot Be Regulated By Law. "I am a great believer in temperance. I do not believe it can be regulated by law, but the individual must overcome it himself." These were the closing words of Governor Goldsborough's address before the congregation of Bethany Methodist Episcopal Church last evening at its Christmas service. Governor Goldsborough took as his text "The Layman's Duty to the Church." After the services he spent a half hour shaking hands and autographing cards for ladv members of the congregation. The program included prayer by the pastor Rev.

Dr. E. T. Mowbray; Scripture reading, by C. Frederick Worden; recitations, by Dorothy Self, Kenneth W.

Greason, Harry P. Cockrell and Douglas Spencer, and carols by the Sunday-school. Music was furnished by the church obstruction in the path, to happiness. He is a small man, of bright, penetrating eye and dark complexion. His plans for the future are wide.

Christmas Day the entire force in the Maryland Theatre will be seen in new uniforms. The hotel force will don new clothes. Hereafter every employe about either place will wear white gloves. The Maryland Theatre bill has been lengthened, three acts being added, making 12 In all. Other improvements are to follow and when they are introduced it is believed they will cause some surprise.

"Appreciating to the fullest extent the great trust and responsibility Imposed upon me by Mr. Kernan," said Mr. Schanberger, "I shall endeavor to continue to the best of my ability the good work performed by him during his life and improve, if possible, the stability and usefulness of the many foundations created and erected by him for the relief of suffering humanity nd the entertainment of the people of Baltimore city. It shall always be my aim not only to maintain the high standard of the Kernan enterprise but by -thought, consideration and vigorous action constantly labor to advance their interest and thereby further enhance in the minds of our pc ople the gr-Jitness of its founder." "TOM" PAINE AS CHURCHMAN Dr. Lichliter, Called To Grace Church, Refers To Atheist.

"Tom Paine, author of 'The Age of could without doubt, if he were living now, be a respectable and honored member of this church," said Rev. Dr. II. M. Lichliter, pastor of Maple Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, St.

Louis, in a sermon yesterday, according to a special dispatch to The Sox from St. Louis last night. Dr. Lichliter has accepted a call to Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, Carrollton avenue and Lanvale street, as successor to Rev. Dr.

George R. Grose, who has accepted the presidency of De Pauw University, Greencastle, Ind. The mention of Paine was made in an attempt to show that scholarship has been arraigned in the name of religion. Charles Darwin, he said, had also suffered the church's hostility. Dr.

Lichliter's topic was "At the Sign of the Manger, a Christmas Meditation." It was only under such a sign, he said, that the castes of the wealthy and poor, the wise and the foolish, are obliterated. Whisky Causes Arrest. A bottle of whisky found on Frank Thomas, Harford aud State roads, led to the arrest yesterday of Jacob Cohen, 1442 Fleet street, on the charge of selling liquor on Sunday. He was released under ball for court when arraigned for a hearing before Justice Smith, at the Eastern Police Station. To Suit Their Appetites.

When he had finished his course there he was sent to a public school, but remained only one day. He told his parents after returning home on the opening day that he could not study under a woman teacher. He could not be induced to return to that school, and It looked as if his education would be at an end. He determined that he wanted a course at Calvert Hall Col lege and resolved that he would pay for it it himself. At Work At 11 Years Old.

At the age of 11 years "Fred" got a place In the office of the Academy of Music. Samuel W. Fort, was then manager. The boy was assigned to clip notices about the theatre that appeared in the newspapers and paste them in a book. He also made some extra change selling librettos whenever Booth played at the theatre.

Those days, and continuing through six years, young Schanberger arose at a o'clock every morning in the year. He served the mass at the Visitation Convent Chapel, Park avenue and Centre street. Often Cardinal Gibbons was celebrant of the mass. Then he would go off to school. Matinee days he had an arrangement by which he was excused from classes at 2 o'clock.

Every afternoon at 5. o'clock he went to the convent again, got the order from the Sisters and purchased all their supplies at different stores. For this he received $5 a week. Reaching home close to 7 he would have supper and then attend the night performance at the theatre. Assistant At Academy.

From the work of clipping young Schanberger became assistant in the box office. This had been his goal while he plied the scissors. He learned every detail of ehe office and at 16 years of age became treasurer of the house. He went to St. Alphonsus' School until he "was 12 years old and to Calvert Hall until he was 17.

He was still a student when he became treasurer. He served successively in that capacity under Henry J. Conway and Patrick Harris. When Schanberger was 20 years old the company of Harris, Britton Dean was formed to take over the Academy, and in the changes that came about Mr. Schanberger resigned his office.

Joined Mr. Kernan In 1892. He was not long out of work. On November 1,. 1892, he was given the place as secretary of the Auditorium Theatre, which had been opened the May previous by James L.

Kernan. "You'll regret taking a position under Mr. Kernan," was the advice of some friends of Mr. Schanberger. Mr.

Kernan was feared by some for his temper, but the new treasurer resolved that if all others were afraid that gave him a better start. The following February Mr. Schanberger was married. He has three children, a daughter, Miss Marie Dolores Schanberger, and two sons, James Lawrence and Frederick C. Schanberger, Jr.

Helped Enterprise. In a short time after joining Mr. Kernan Mr. Schanberger became business manager. In that capacity he discussed with In rehearsing any emotional scene he instructs the actor to portray emotions with the limbs and general poise of the body as well as with the voice.

He is fond of stage pictures, and some of those in "Eva" are gorgeous. Between rehearsals Mr. Erlanger, Ttmla F. Dean, manager of the Academy, and Patrick Casey, who accompanies Mr. Erlanger, were guests of Rev.

Thomas E. Stapleton at the Convent of St. Frances, Chase and Forrest streets. Klaw Erlanger and Nixoii Zimmerman, owners of the Academy, have consented to allow the theatre party tonight and tomorrow night for the benefit of the convent, which was damaged by a fire a short time ago. They Are Real Irish.

A merry group of real Irish men and maidens is at the Hotel Kernan. They are members of "The Drone" company that is appearing at the Auditorium. Much has been written about the beautiful eyes of the Irish colleen, but Mils Margaret Moffatt, who plays the principal female part, justifies it. The company has been In this country only two weeks. The plot Is about peopla similar to those about whom "Bunty Pulls the String" was written.

CHRISTMAS FOR SAILORS Which Sails Today, lias Entertainment. Though far from home and loved ones, the officers and crew of the North German Lloyd Line steamship Brandenburg, which sails today from Locust Point, will not be deprived of the proper means of observing Christmas, tho celebration of which was begun by anticipation on board the steamer yesterday. An entertainment for the officer awl sailors of the ship was given on board yesterday. The program was arranged by Rev. Otto Apltz, harbor missloncr.

The, were Christmas songs and stories, while the vessel was decorated in evergreen and holly. Rev. Mr. Apttz gave each of the members of the crew a novel, a package of tobacco and some souvenir postals. The crew will celebrate Christmas on the high sens.

Another entertainment will be given tonight to the officers and crew of the steamship Barbarossn, of the ame line, which arrived in port yesterday. Dr. Ilenham At Y. M. C.

A. Instead of the usual Sunday afternoon meeting in Ford's Opera House, Rev. Dr. De Witt M. Benham, pestor of Central Presbyterian Church, made an address In the Central Young Men's Christian Association Building, at and Franklin streets.

Dr. Henham's topic was "From Damascus to Jerusalem." The address was illustrated with many fine pictures. Harmony. "How are they getting along?" "Beautifully. She's perfectly willing to spend much on gifts for his people aH siie does for hw own." Detroit Free Press.

Between Rehearsals Manager Dean And The Visitors 'Are Guests Of Thomas E. Stapleton. At the Academy of Music concert hall last night A. L. Erlanger, of the theatrical producing firm of Klaw Erlanger, tripped about the small stage with the celerity of a chorus girl, though he is short, stock-ily built and has the weight of something over 43'years upon his shoulders.

He was not burdened with 'his accustomed dress suit familiar to those who see him In the theatre lobby. He wore a coat sweater and a derby hat that was dented. "I appreciate more than anything "else the stamp of approval of Baltimore he said, "and I want their opinion on ray latest musical production The piece, with music by Franz. Lehar, has been before Philadelphia audiences for three weeks, having opened there, and will go to Amsterdam Theatre, in New York, next week. "The Count of Luxembourg" vacates that theatre for the Baltimore Academy of Music, and then goes on to Chicago for the rest of the Every line of that is spoken will bear the interpretation of Mr.

Erlanger. He has a manner of accentuation that makes the important words hit at the right time and with the right force. Alma Francis, who will be seen tonight in. scintillating gowns, wore a plain black skirt, a simple shirtwaist and on her head a tam-o-shanter. As, Erlanger spoke the lines Miss Francis repeated them.

This was continued until she spoke them as Mr. Erlanger directed. When the rehearsal began Mr. Erlanger occupied a chair In the centre of. the hall.

Soon he discarded the serge coat ho had on and the sweater was substituted Next collar and tiewere" discarded. The chair was pushed back and the manager was at the footlights. Within -a quarter of an hour he was on' the stage and there for two hours he drilled and redrllled the players. A recess of an hour gave a breathing spell, and then rehearsal began all over again In the theatre itself. Until midnight Mr.

Erlanger and the entire company went over the comedy. The chair that Mr. Erlanger left unoccupied was soon filled by Herbert Grcs-ham, general stage manager of Klaw Erlanger. He has a wide circle of friends in this city. He married Miss Martha Ford, daughter of Charles E.

Ford, of Ford's Opera House. He is an art student and has found that the things learned in drawing can be applied to the stage. Institutes Improvements And Prom- lse Many More Which It Is Believed Will Cause Surprise. Men have gone from city to city, from country to country and from continent to continent In an endeavor to woo and win success, but in Baltimore there Is one who captured it in a single city block bounded by Franklin, Howard and Eutaw streets and Druid Hill avenue. He's Frederick Caspar Schanberger, now general manager of the Maryland Theatre, the Hotel Kernan.

and of the Auditorium property, and president of the James L. Kernan Company, which controls the largest theatrical enterprise in the city. He steps into the place left vacant by James L. Kernan, builder of the enterprise, who died Saturday, December 14. At a meeting Saturday of the trustees named by Mr.

Kernan to conduct his estate Mr. Schanberger was named president, Shirley Carter vice-president and James R. Wheeler, one of the closest friends Mr. Kernan had, was appointed secretary and treasurer. These three will manage the theatre and hotel properties, paying to the Kernan Hospital for Children and to the surviving children of Mr.

Kernan the stipulated income from the stock of the Kernan company. "Eye On Place Ahead." Everyone acquainted with Mr. Schanberger knows him as To Mr. Kernan he was "Freddie." He was asked yesterday by what means he had arrived success so rapidly. "I have always," he said, "had my eye on the place just ahead of me.

Whenever I held a position, even the smallest, I watched the man who was immediately over me, tried to learn how he held down the job and waited my chance to prove that I could step into his place if he jnoved upward or away." Born Near Theatre. Mr. Schanberger was born almost at the back door of the Academy of Music and the Auditorium. His parents lived at 517 North Eutaw street, and "Fred" saw the light there first on August 9, 1872. The middle name he bears was given in memory of his grandfather.

From early boyhood the theatre proved a magnet for young Schanberger. As were his seven brothers and one sister, young Schanberger was sent off the owner the building of the Maryland Theatre and the present hotel. The discussion that eventually led to the great building an expenditure of 000,000 began one night in the palm garden of the old Auditorium. Mr. Kernan wanted an entrance Into bis theatre from Franklin street, as well as from Howard street.

Plan after plan was discussed. Finally Mr. Kernan bought' several pieces of property. Then a theatre, the Maryland, and a handsome restaurant were designed. The restaurant was burned when almost completed, and then the hotel was decided upon.

In all these plans Mr- Kernan found the suggestions of his business manager very helpful. Success At River View. In 1900 Mr. Kernan bought River View. For two years Schanberger practically had full-charge and made it a success.

Then Hollywood was purchased by Mr. Kernan, and for three seasons Schanberger practically managed that resort. Every night the young manager rode home on the trolley car seated upon what was apparently a small package of no value. It was a roll of money wrapped in an old newspaper. "Had I used a satchel," said Mr.

Schanberger, "I would have been waylaid and robbed." Interested (In Charities. In the business management of the Maryland Mr. Schanberger has made a fine record. The owner of the enterprise went through a precarious financial and personal siege, but "Freddie" stood by his employer through thick and thin. The manager became interested in all the charitable undertakings of Mr.

Kernan. In the asylums that the benefactor entered his companion was known as well. Calm In Difficulties. The new president of the Kernan enterprises has a wide circle of friends. His even temper has been his sterling quality In the most complicated theatrical difficulties Mr.

Schanberger goes through smiling Whenever a balking actress was to be dealt with at the theatre Mr. Kernan would give instructions to "let 'Freddie' do it." The actress would be seen at the next performance wearing a smile, for Mr. Schanberger had diplomatically smoothed out the "Would Give Two Sessions Each Week And Teaching? Along Vocational Linen. The proposed establishment of continuation schools for children who are compelled to go to work at an early age will likely be discussed at the meeting of the School Board this afternoon. It is the hope of the Board of Superintendents and the members of the School Board that some plan may be devised so as to permit the establishment of these schools this winter.

As set forth by First Assistant Superintendent Charles J. Koch In his address several weeks ago before the City Club, the success of the proposed plan depends upon the co-operation of the manufacturers and other employers of child labor. In a preliminary canvass of the city, the superintendents found the employers willing to aid and obtained the promise from a number of them to pay their little employes while at school-Han Been Successful In Germany. The object of the proposed schools, which is based upon, a system that has been successful In Germany, is to permit children to continue their education after going to work. The schools would be open In the daytime, and thus children would be able to go to school while at work and still have their evenings for recreation and rest.

The continuation schools would meet either two mornings or two afternoons a week, four hours to be the length of the sessions, and the time divided into four periods. In one of these periods civics, government and history would be taught. For apprentices of metal-working shops' the plan would be to have an hour devoted technical explanations, an hour to mechanical drawing and the reading of blue prints, and an hour to mathematics of the trade. In the technical explanation hour ironworkers, for instance, would be taught the history of the manufacture of iron, the different grades of the metal and other details necessary for a thorough understanding of the business. Another branch of the school as suggested would bo devoted to young boys working in the building trades, the lessons pertaining to architectural drawing and the reading of drawings and architectural mathematics, and instruction in the selection of building material, such as concrete, paints, oods, appliauces and bricks.

The third branch of the school would be for girls and boys, and the curriculum would include instruction in sewing, cooking, millinery, jewelry making, leather work and other manufacturing branches. Tor young boys and girls working in offices the commercial courses at the night schools will be recommended. Hope To Start Before Spring. Assistant Superintendent Koch has followed as closely as was practicable the German plan, and, with the other superintendents working on the idea, it Is hoped that the continuation schools will be put into operation before spring. The teachers for the schools have not yet been considered, but it is planned that they shall teach four days and spend the fifth making canvasses of the manufacturing plants, getting children interested in the schools.

There has been no committee appointed by the School Board to report on the continuation school idea, but the superintendents will explain the German system to the School Board, together with recom-mendations for local continuation schools.
