A resolution was adopted calling upon Con- gress to pass a bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in this District and to! affix a penalty to the law prohibiting the sale of tobacco and cigarettes to boys and | girls under sixteen years of age. —__.___. For the District Poor. AS a final effort to raise funds for the benefit of the poor of this city, several young people connected with Dr. Sunder- Jand’s church and other churches organized themselves into a. working and business committee and, with the consent and in- @orsement of the central relief committee, hhave secured the services of Miss Katie V. Wilson and her pupils, who will repeat that Deautiful cantata of “King Rene’s Daugh- ter” at Metzerott Music Hall Friday even- ing, March 30, at $ o'clock.

The Weather Does Away With Some of the Fentures of the Easter Celebration Here. The weather yesterday was a disappoint ment. The warmth, the glow and bright- ness of the typical Easter Sunday was wanting. Instead, the skies were lowering, and the cold, piercing air made the usual customary street parade impossible. The | preparations that had been made for this feature of Faster were uf no avail; all the plans of milliners and tailors were destroy- ed by thé weather. The exhibition of spring bonnets and spring clothes did rot take place. No doubt the material was all on hand, and as the beauties from the miill- ners were viewed by their fair owners in the seclusion of their nomes. there were hard thoughts about the arrangement of the elements which prevented the public appearance of these triumphs of art. With the exception, however, of the street parade which a warm, sunshiny day would have witnessed, the celebration of Easter yester- day was quite as elaborate as in any pre- vious year. In the Churches. The center of interest was, of course, in the churches, where special and elaborate services were held in nonur of the great festival of the Christian church. As was seen in the programs of 1ausic printed in Saturday's Star, the nusical feature of the religious celebration of che day was an im- portant one, and indicated a high degree of musical culture on the part of both per- formers and congregations. In striking contrast to the cold and chill exterior, the churches yesterday glowed with light and warmth, and were filled with the iragrance and beauty of flowers. The decorations were in many instances elaborace and cost- ly and there were few churenes which were not brightened by these mute, but beauti- ful symbols of the spirit of the day. The sermons, too, had, as w rule, but the one theme, which was presented with the eic- quence and force for which the Washington pulpit has a just reputation. The attendance at the various churches, especially at the principal service, which was held at 11 o'clock, was perhaps not as large as it would have been if the elements had been more propitious; however, large congregations filled the sacred edifices and engaged with devout actention in the ser- vices of the hour. In the Episcopal churches the services in the morning were followed, as a rule, by a children’s service in the afternoon, the latter services being largely choral in character. In Epiphany Church there was a union service of the three parish Sabbath schools, which brought to- gether about 1,000 children. At the Church of the Ascension fifteen were initiated as members of the boys’ chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. There were several services in the Catholic churches, the principal one, of course, being at 11 o'clock. In the churches of the other de+ nominations the usual morning and evening services were held, which were varied by features which had special reference to the day. Grand Army Services. Among the good results coming after the Moody meetings is the inauguration of Sun- day afternoon services especially for the ex-soldiers, their families and friends, both of the blue and the gray, at Grand Army Hall, on Pennsylvania avenue opposite Wil- lard’s. The services have a peculiar soldier atmosphere about them. The chaplain, Rev. D. Smith, preaches a short sermon di- reetly to the boys, and then the comrades take it up and make the hall ring with their earnest testimonials. A choir of sixty voices, led by Comrade Ed. Tracy,. including the Grand Army Glee Club and many of the best voices from the great Moody choir, fur- nishes the music and singing. The depart- ment officers and past department oificers and chaplains, together with the post chap- lains, are giving the movement their hearti- est support, and it promises to become one of the great evangelistic forces of the city. Collection for Missions. Yesterday was set apart by the A. M. E. Church as mission day, and a collection amounting to about $100 was taken up in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church for that purpose. Rev. W. B. Derrick, D.D., of New York, who is secretary for missions, was present and delivered an able discourse. Special music was well rendered by the choir. The church was beautifully deco- rated with palms and Easter lilies. At night @ special Easter song service was presented by the choir, under the direction of Prof. J. T. Layton. ‘The choir was assisted by the Amphion Glee Club, many of the members of which are also members of the choir, and the violinists, Messrs. Will M. Cook and’ Ber- nadine Smith. ‘St. Pi P. E. Church. At St. Paul’s Church, on 23d street, the flowers were an especial feature. They were not only beautiful and abundant, but were so tastefully arranged that their color ard effect was truly artistic. Every window in the church was banked with stately palms and flowers of the choicest color. The white dossel behind the altar was traced with delicate ferns and trailing vines, while lilies, roses and carnations were everywhere to be seen in profusion. Anvciation lilies e contributed in quan- tities as memorials for the altar and the windews. A large chorus of men and boys com pose the choir, and in addition to the organ were several instruments. The mu- sic was especially well rendered. The rec- tor, Rev. Dr, Harding, preached an elo- quent sermon. There were four services of the communion during the day. Western Presbyterian Church. A large audience assembled yesterday morning in the Western Presbyterian Chureh on H street just off Pennsylvania avenue. The pulpit platform was hid in floral beauty, huge clumps of the Bermuda Easter lily flanked the reading desk on the | right, while the left was a mass of palms and cut flowers. The pastor elect, the Rev. | Howard Wilbur Ennis, preached’ the fifth | in his Easter tide series, “A Bunch of Eas- ter Lilies.” On next Sabbath evening at the| people's service, recently inaugurated, he begins a series on “Night Scenes from’ the Bible.” ‘The music was of a high order and excel- lently rendered. The popularity of chorus choirs was attested by the attention of the audience. | Ninth Street Christian Church. | A fine musical program was rendered yes- | terday morning by the choir at the Ninth | Street Christian Church as follows: Quartet, with obligato, “O Lord, How Excellent is Thy Nare;" contralto solo, by Mrs. Stan- ford, “The Angel's Message;” anthems, “How Calm and Beatiful the Morn,” “Mary | to the Saviors Tomb,” “1 Will Sing of My Redeemer,” “He is Kisen.” Sopranos: Miss Sadie Emmons and Mrs. Stanford. Altos: Miss Della Sinn and Mrs. B. J. Cady. Bassos: Chas, L. Denham and F. A. Carpenter. Tenors: Frank Morrison J. W. Van Vieck and Geo. W. Pratt. Mu- sical director: D. C. Arnold. Organist: Miss Maud McNaught. The pastor, Rev. E. B. Bagby, preached from Colossians, third chapter, first and second verses. An interesting ‘feature of the service was the reception of twenty-two new members. St. Paul's Lutheran Church. St. Paul's English Lutheran Church, Rev. S. Domer, pastor, was beautifully deco-| rated yesterday with stately palms and a profusion of calla and Easter lilies. Smilax | festooning vases, pulpit, stands and chancel | furniture with an intermingling of smailer | flowers made up the beautiful decorations | for the solemn and joyful services which fcllowed. The building was crowded to its utmost capacity. The services included the holy communion and admission of new members. About three hundred communi- canis presented themselves. Some thirty | e made to the church. is year about forty added to the communicant mem- bership. Special Easter music was render- | ed in fine style by the chur: r pastor delivered a communion ¢ a sermon, and was aided in the! by the Rev. Dr. M. W. California.

The exercises were largely of a musieal character. The singing was under the lead- | ership of Mr. George F. Muth. Piano, or- fan and some four or five instruments ac- companied the singing. Prof. DuShane Cloward and Mrs. E. Dome> Rheem, as also the church choir, gave their efficient services in making the anniversary one of the most successful and enjoyable ever celebrated by this energetic school. The exe-cises closed with the rendition of the hymn “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” in which the voices present joined with great enthusiasm. Se THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. The Work of Relief Done Since th First of the Year. The following report has been made by L. S. Emery, secretary of the Associated Charities, to the board of managers: From January 1, 1894, to March 20, 1804, I have to submit the following brief resume of our work: Orders for food and fuel have been given as follows: By the central office, 2,071 orders, aggregating $2,390.28; by the first division (Georgetown), 408 orders, ag- gregating $455.05; by the second division, 102 orders, aggregating $211; by the third division, 421 orders, aggregating $400.78; by the fourth division, 147 orders, aggr gating $80.45; by the sixth division, 1,140 orders, aggregating $707.14; by the elghth division, orders, aggregating 44; by the ninth division, 106 orders, aggregat- ing, $223.10; by the tenth division, 230 or- ders, aggregating $307.79; by the eleventh division, 2,863 orders, aggregating $1,547.20; by the Anacostia division, 35 orders, ag: gregating $45.65. Total number of orders given, 7, aggregating $7,005.07, In addi- tion to this the second division has pur- chased in bulk groceries amounting to $167.97 and has put the goods up in pack- ages and delivered to applicants at their office, and the Anacostia division purchased in bulk groceries aggregating $17.84. The central office has purchased fourteen bolts of flannel, amounting to $45.77, for the pur- pose of giving poor women an opportunity to sew and aid in the support of their fami- lies in that way. Making an aggregate ex- penditure for food, fuel, 500 pairs of shoes and the flannel during that period of $7,237.55. Of this amount the central re- lief committee paid $5,533 and the As- sociated Charities raised and paid the bal- ance. In addition to this we have distrib- uted 419 contributed loads of wood, 1,700 loaves of bread, five contributed tons of coal and about 1,000 garments from the central office. An interesting feature of the work, of which the public has not heretofore been advised, but which I feel it my duty to call attention to especially, is that 100 families have been employed at sewing on cloth furnished to them to take to their homes and paid a reasonable sum per garment, and have been enabled to tide over their distress with their needle and to keep their families in food and fuel for nearly the entire winter. One set of families have been in charge of Miss Blaine and the other of Mrs. Owen, who volunteered their services to the Associated Charities early | in the winter, and, after a conference, it was thought that this plan was a practical one, and it has proved to be a most geruine and philanthropic one. We have employed quite a large number of men in our little woodyard at the central office, each hav- ing the privilege of sawing or splitting wood two hours at a time, for which we fave them food or fuel, as they needed. We have had visitors in every oart of the District going to the poor families, famil- larizing themselves with their habits, their real needs and encouraging them all to as much self-support and self-respect as pos- sible. For about two months the average num- ber of calls upon our association was about 325 daily. The number of calls by citizens to obtain assistance for some one that they knew has been unusually large this winter, and the letters received at the central office begging assistance for themselves or some one known to them averaged for a long time about fifty daily. In conclusion, I wish to say that in all my experience here In Wushington of twenty-six years in connection with aiding the poor by associated effort I have never known our honest poor laboring class of people to make a more heroic effort to take care of themselves without asking aid than this winter. They are to be commended, especially considering the difficulty in ob- taining employment which has existed. Two elements have developed conspicuously, one, of the lazy and shiftless, who come to the | front always when there is much publicity given charity work, and the other, the honest, self-respecting, in their effort to take care of themselves. rt OPERETTA AT ST. ALOYSIUS. The “Four-Leaved Clover” to Be Given by Little Children, The operetta, “Four-leaved Clo¥er,” to be presented tonight, tomorrow and Wednes- day nights by the children of St. Aloysius, promises to surpass, both in scenic splendor and artistic production, everything of an amateur character that has been witnessed in Washington. For months past the re- hearsals have taken place almost daily, and an eager interest in them has been manifest from the beginning. Rev. Father Cornelius Gillespie, S. J., rector of the par- ish, has taken a very active part in this matter. Mrs. M. E. Ward is the stage man- ager and general directress, assisted by Miss Annie Hollohan as pianist and Miss W. Brosnahan. The dramatis personse are as follows: Isabella, Countess of Aquilla, Lilian Acker; Lady Inez, her daughter, Minnie Stolpe; Lady Hinda, her daughter, Addie Rover; Susanna, maid to Lady Inez, the castle, Charles Griffith; Don Carlos, @ Spanish guest, Walter Lansdale; Sir Ro- land Graeme, an English guest, Willie Re- gan; Pedro, ‘a servant, Aloysius Fennell; Donald, a servant, James Spottswood; I renzo, seneschal, Alexander Heron; Auf, a German sprite, Frank Mack; Gretch- en, ‘his sister and interpreter, Jennie Dur- kin; king of gypsies, Bernard Rover; his mother, Ida Miller. Jennfe Durkin, who takes the role of Gretchen, is a bright and winsome little lassie of six years, and the character of Gluck-Auf, her’ brother, is taken by little nine-year-old Frank Mack. All the other little folk who are to take part in these performances are no less interesting. They are all selected with great care exceptional musical and dramatic talent. They have all worked hard and patiently to Insure a brilliant success, and these lit- tle people want old and young, great and folk of Washington, to turn out to see them. eee The Fair Ended. The Old Guard fair, which was in prog- ress at the Washington Light infantry armory for two weeks past, reached a fit- was packed and jammed with people until the very last minute, an Interesting feature of the evening being an auction sale, dur- ing which the visitors bought indiscrimi- nately. The lucky winners of prizes were shrine claws, B. Walker; shotgun, E. L. Engle, and High School sword,’ Capt. Schuster. Over $2,000 was cleared as a result of the fair, more than enough to purchase the desired new uniforms. — Shiloh Church Meeting. Trustee James L. Holmes, chairman, and Trustee James A. Payne, secretary, of the Shiloh Baptist Chureh, have announced a reception at the church, L street between 16th and 17th streets, this evening, in ac- knowledgment of the appreciation’ of the members of the labors of their pastor, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, for his past ' three years’ service and for his tireiess efforts in gathering in so many young people in the revival meetings. | Ex-Gov. Stephen A. Northway, member of Congress from Ohio, and Dr. John Avery, member of Con- gress from Michigan, have been invited to be present and deliver addresses, bases brats Funeral of James O'Connor.

The chestra and “The Creation” by the Choral Society — Other Items. Concert of the Georgetown Or- It is understood that the project of hav- ing a fine pipe organ in Convention Hall by next season is now taking definite shape. Already there have been consultations be- tween the hall management and the officers of the Choral Society in regard to the mat- ter and subsequently an organ builder was conferred with as to the character of in- strument that would be required and its/ cost. It is understood that the negotiations have gone to such an extent that there is every likelihood that an organ befitting the hall will be constructed before the concert season in the fall begins, The hall manag2-| ment are determined that if an organ is | built for them it shall be the finest as to tone and workmanship that can be pro- cured. A first-class organ for solo work hai long been needed in Washington. There is) no organ available here for concert work| except in churches that could not be rented | unless it was for some entertainment in connection with their own congregations, | and an organ in Convention Hall of the! proper size and power would be available for organ recitals as well as furnishing a) valuable accompaniment to choral organiza-| tions at their concerts. The Georgetown Orchestra will conclude this season's work with the forty-seventh concert in their history on Monday evening, | April 2, at Metzerott’s Hiall. Those who| have looked in at the weekly rehearsals | hav noticed a vim and precision about the | work of the orchestra, under Director Rake-| mann, indicating that the concert will be) unusually fine. It speaks well for Wash- ington’s musical spirit that this body of | musicians should stick together year after, |year, maintaining their organization,though | \Individuals come and go, and constantly striving to improve. The most talented of Washington's performers are always glad of the chance to appear as soloists at these| concerts, The program selected for April 2 shows that Conductor Rakemann knows how to| combine the instructive and the pleasing. | Several of the world’s greatest composers are on the musical menu, and there is the swing and sweetness of abundant melody that will delight the popular ear as well. Mr. Rakemann evidently believes in select-| ing beautiful things rather than tedious and| heavy ones. Miss Alice E. Burbage, a tal- ented young planist,will play a Chopin polo- |naise with the orchestra. This will be the| first appearance of this young lady with the | orchestra since her return from her three | years’ studies in Leipsi¢t. Mr. Rakemann) will play Wieniawski’s D minor violin con- certo, one of the most showy and difficult of all the compositions for this great instru- ment. John Porter Lawrence has consented to play the piano accompaniment to this concerto, and it is needless to say that these two gentlemen will give a highly enjoyable, performance. One of the greatest of Men delssohn’s secular compositions is his con- cert aria, opus 94, in which a splendid so- prano voice part is combined with orches- tral effect. The lady who is to sing the part is Mrs. R. Ortmann, a new candidate for| Washington's approval, who is said to pos- sess a rich and powerful voice. Mrs. Ort- mann will also sing a group of songs— “Whither,” by Lassen; “The Song of the Willows,” by Rakemann; Mendelssohn's spring song, “Through the Forest,” and “The Flower Girl,” by Bevignane. The orchestral numbers are also promis- ing. Auber's “Fra Diavolo’” overture will | open the concert. A new “Lamento,” by Campa, a bright young Mexican, pupil of} Saint Saens, will be heard for the first time inWashington. Moskowski’s beautiful “Sere- nata" and Scharwenka's stirring ‘Polish | Dance” will be followed by two pleasing, string orchestra numbers, and the perform-| ance will conclude with two wedding marches, as befits the Easter season, one the “Wedding Cortege” from Rubinstein's “Feramours” and the other Mendelssohn's immortal march. Miss Anita Cluss, the fa- vorite harpiste of this city, will assist the orchestra. Mr. Stanley Olmstead, the talented young Pianist and composer, sails for Berlin on | the 2Sih instant. Mr. Olmsteai goes by the advice of his many triends, who be- lieve he will fully verity their Lopes of his successful future. Miss La Burtle Shepher}, a young pianist | and pupil of Leschitzky, returned from a | two years’ study in Vienna on the steamer | Rhineland. A letter from Miss Lotta Mills states that “Miss Shepherd was a great | favorite with the professor, as well as with all who knew her.” A new musical club was organized about ten days ago, having for its mterests the improvement, advancement and develop- ment of orchestral playing among young | men of this city. The club starts with a/ membership of twelve and has the assur- | anco of more at the next business meet- ing. The first appearance of this new or- | ganization will be at the Martyn College on Friday evening next in an entertain-| ment to be given for the benefit cf the | High School review. ‘fhe ciub has started | already under very favorable circumstances | and bids well to take its stand among the musical societies of Washington. Prof. | Chas. Haydn Chase, ‘ormezly director of | the Amphion Club, is the leader. Among | the members are Prof. S. 3. Ingley, a vio- | linist lately from England; Prof. Joannini, | flutist; C. O, Landgrat, cornet, and Mr. | Ed. Muth, pianist. Mr.’ Geo. E. Harring- | ton was elected secretary, and Mr. Elbert H. Johnson treasurer. Mr. C. O. Land-| graf was unanimously elected president. | The coming performance of the oratorio of “The Creation"by the Choral Society at Convention Hall promises to be the most! successful in the history of this. popul organization. The soloists are Miss Lillian Blauvelt. a soprano of the highest reputa-| tion; Mr. W. H. Reiger, one of the best craturio tenors now before the public, and, Dr. Hopkinson of Baltimore, whose fine bass | nm | voice has been heard here with satisfact many times. The Peabody Symphony C chestra of Baltimore will furnish the ac- |companiments. Prof. Josef Kaspar, the di-| rector of the society, has been ‘iligently rehearsing his force, and is satisfied that the choruses will be sung better than ever before. The sale of seats is going on in the most lively manner, and there is every indi- cation that the big hall will be filled. “The Three Dukes,” the comic opera! | written by the Hains brothers, which was so successfully produced at the National Theater last month, will, it is understood, shortly be repeated, this time at the Aca emy of Music, and with an entirely new cast. It ts said that Miss Dorothy By Rogers has been asked to sing the leading | soprano part, and the friends of this young | |lady are satisfied that she will make a de-| | cided hit in it. Prof. Emile E. Mori's juvenile class in music will give another of their charming recitals tonight at Willard Hall. The prin- | cipal feature of the program will be Root's | |cantata, “The Flower Queen.” The chil- | dren are all under twelve years of age. They are Miss Carrie J.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: | If ever there existed a government by the people and for the people, it is the gov- ernment of the United States. Its laws are made and urmade by the influence of the people, exerted through means lawful and well defined. Whenever the people know what they want, there is a sure and cer- tain method of causing their wish to be re- alized, and the time from cause to effect is not so very long, provided the peoples de- sire is clearly expressed and pet tently urged. y 8 id there be need, then, | for an “army of peace’ or for any other | army to come to Washington for the ex- pressed purpose of overawing Congress ani enforcing the ures? There is n be no such gat’ There z permitted. It no good and is in to be productive of evil. The governor of Ohio should prevent | the motley crowd from start and if he| does not, and if the authorities of Penn- ylvania and Maryland fail to turn these “promoters of legislation” back, the whole power of the United States government should meet them at Washington to teach them that this is not F . and that a government of law er still reigns | supreme.

Washington Base Ball Patrons See Mr. Schmelz’s Me: The long looked for introduction of the Washington “cranks” to the Washington Base Ball Club occurred on Saturday af- terncon, and there is no doubt that each was pleased to meet the other. The spec- tators were large in numbers and enthu- siastic in applause. The players were all wide awake and decided!y enthusiastic. The only drawback was the chilly atmosphere, which later in the game caused the occu- pants of the bleachers io rise at intervals and stamp their feet. A score of iadies at- tended, but none were brave enough to re- main to the close. As stated in The Star, the entire club in open carriages and heaied by a brass band riding on a tally-ho, paraded through tie streets during ine afiernvon. After haif- an-hour's practice at the grounds Umpire McQuaid called “Play ui" As the old favorites stepped to the plate each was greeted with loud cheers, while the young- sters were required to earn applause by their work with the bat and in the field The players made an excellent impres- sion, The game was fousht with eager- ness and energy from start to finish, and when the end was reached in the eighth inning with the score 7 to 4 ia favor of me “Kids,” everybody was satisfied that not simply an exhibition game had been wit- nessed, but a contest in which the most minute point was fougat. The “Kids,” especiaiiy, piayed with a snap that was retresat Tebeau, Joyce and Ward, on the coach lines, made things decidedly interesting. Youag Mercer pitch- ed in great style and became popular at once. Radford, Kinslow, Ward, Hasamaear and Stocksdale each made two-base hits, Ab- bey lined the sphere out for three bases, and in addition McGuire, Mulvey, Kinslow, Petty, Ward, Joyce, Tebeau and Mercer are each credited with one or more singles. McMahon and Cartwright made the cnly double play of the game. Mercer scruck out four men and gave Lwo buses on bails, while Peity allowed six men to walk t first because of wild pitching. The “Kids” made two errors, to six by the “Vets.” Because of a strained tendon in his foot Tebeau retired in favor of gan early in the game, while Esper relieved Petiy as pitcher for the “Vets” in the seventh, The score by innings is as follow: Vets . 0012100 O04 2012920 x7 Owing to the continued cold weather, Manager Schmelz, at noon, decided to have no game today. The New York Times remarks regarding the new Washington team with an assur- ance of certainty that is remarkable, con- sidering that the manager himself has not come to definite conclusions: The new Washington piayers come up to expecta- tions, and some of the old men will be re- tired when Schmelz makes his selections. Ward, at second base, may supplant Sam Wise. Hassamer, in right, will send Rad- ford to the bench, and Tebeau, in center, may cause Abbey's release. There will be a lively hustle at shortstop between “Joe” Sullivan and young McMahon, with chances in favor of the latter. Cartwright will guard first base, sure, while Joyce will un- | @uestionably take third, and, as Campau has been selected as captain, he will, of course, play left field. President Young's latest circular is as fol- lows: Contracts—With Cleveland, E. J. Mc- Kean, Jesse C. Burkett, C. La Zimmer, C. L. | Childs, C. H. Dewajd; with Washington, C. L. Abbey, J. H. McMahon, William Joyce; with St. Louis, C. J. Crooks; with Cincin- nati, Connie Murphy. Mr. Young also an- | mounces that Arthur Twineham has been released by St. Louis. University of North Carolina defeated Le- high University nine at Chapel Hill Satur- day by a score of 12 to 7%. Both teams showed lack of training. Richardson has started for Louisville. He says he will play good ball with the Colo- nels. With the exception of Rusie, Farrell and Murphy all the Giants will report for duty today. At Richmond Saturday Yale won from the University of Virginia by a score of 28 to 4. Mike Kelly has signed Jack Milligan of Washington's 1502 nine.

Miss Kate Field delivered her tecture on Dickens Saturday night, in the banquet hall of the Shoreham, before a large audi- ence. After a keen review of the life ard character of the great novelist, Miss Field closed her entertaining discourse with the following effective description of the writer's funeral: “Two street cabs, a brougham, da hearse; thirteen men and women, around an open grave; the lowering of a plain oaken coffin; the moaning of a great crgan; the murmuring of an awe-stricken dea: this is the pageant of Charles Dickens last journey. He les with Englani’s best and greatest, with tuneful Handel gazims heavenward above him, with Johnson by his side, with Garrick at his feet, with a mighty congregation of kings and queens, philosophere # generals to sing hosanna as they welcome him to this wondrous city of the dead. “But mightier is that congregation of living, humble souls, sileatly filling the somber abbey from mora to night, treading lightly lest the dead be waked, casting flowers into the still opea grave until the dark void is made bright and beautiful as if with the bloom of everlasiing peace and hope. “Last to Inger is a woman, listening to the voice of mem as it repeacs, the words of him who lies so quietly ut her feet. Ok, woman! God beloved in oid Jeru- j salem, the best among us need deal lightly with thy faults if only for the punishment thy nature will endure in bearing heavy evidence against us on the day of judg- ment. arth’s day of judgment has come to you, Charlgs Dickens, and this grateful woman casts flowers upon your grave for your loyalty to friendship, for your loyal- ty to literature, for your loyalty to the drama, for your love of truth, for your love of children, for your tenderness to- ward the outcasts of her sex. And as she lets fall the last pansy in her hand, she murmurs: “The old, old fashion, Heath! Ch, | thank God for all who see it, for that older fashion yet of immortality, and leok vpon angels of young children, with re- gards not quite estranged, now the swift | river bears him to the ocean.’ * —_—___ Funeral of Wm.

My little girl, Lilla May Guthrie, had a severe attuck of the grip, and got somewhat better, but e did not seem to get well. She Mngered along from day to day, poor, weak and languid. We consulted a leading physician, and he said it was the dregs of the grip still about her. We gave the medicine he ordered, but she seemed to get MORE AND MORE DELICATE. She could scarcely eat anything, and what Httle she did take seemed to do her no good. Her flesh was soft and not healthy, and she was stupid and dull with no amb:tion. No medicine seemed to have any effect until about two months ago we com- menced to give her Hood's Sarsaparilla, She bad not taken half a bottle before she began to eat and we could see a decided change in Today she 1s in the full enjoyment of PERFECT HEALTH.
