COATS AND FURS IN THE EASTER PARADE Al tocracy Not So Well 'Represented in Fifth Avenue Procession. New York, April 16.—Flurries of snow about church-going time, a bright afternoon sun, now and then smothered by great gray and white puffs of cloud, and cold westerly winds which sent many an Easter hat ca- reening, were the ways of the weather in New York today. Altogether it was _pleasant, but far too cold and windy for the Easter festival Coats and Furs in Easter Parade.

The color of the serpentine body as it turned ‘its head into the curvilinear walks of Central park and stretched its tail down Fifth avenue, was lent mainly by the ladies hats. In straw of every brilliant hue, with ribbons, flowers and feathers, they bobbed about in a thousand shapes on thou- sands of heads beside the glossy black silk hats the escorts wore. Small Representation of Upper Crust. There were those who said they knew, who asserted that fewer of the upper hundreds than ever joined in the parade this vear and those who did were within the shelter of the Hi- mousines or bundled in furs in the carriages which streamed up. the ave- nue. The churches in 'the cily .were crowded, ‘and it is doubtful if ever Dbefore such elpborate programmes of music were attempted. It -was a note- worthy feature that many of the or- ganists of the city today rendered works of their own composition. No_Standing Room at St. Patrick’s. The services at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic ‘cathedral attracted over six | thousand persons, not more than two- thirds of whom could gain even stand- ing room in the edifice. The overflow stood outside following the services as best they could, without complain- ing of the severely cold winds. Arch- hishop Farley was the celebrant of the pontifical mass and the regular choir of the cathedral was supplemented by professional singers and an orchestra of 65 pieces. - Police Needed at Old Trinity. At four different services, the Old Trinity Episcopal church was so crowded that it required police to han- dle the crowds. One of - the services was conducted, for the first time. this ar, in German. Tlte sermon by Rev. D. Manning was an emphatic denial that the Christian creed has lost its power. It is estimated that if one could <ed in upon all of the church- restaurants and homes where Faster was observed by floral decorations today, they —might have seen more than a million dollars’ worth of flowers, There were fewer Easter lilies and as a substitute or- chids and tausenschoenen roses, which combine three shades of pink, were favored Py those who could ’afford | them. The new rose originated in Germany and wes imported two years ago with such increasing popularity that they sold this Easter at from $15 to $25 a plant. STOOD ON HI8 HEAD AL NIGHT IN CHUTE. Laborer Rescued from his Predica- ment and Will Live, Y., April 16.—After standing on his head all night, a pris- oner in a narrow grain chute into} which he had fallen haed first, Charles Stokes, a laborer, was discovered ear- 1y this morning in the barn of John Hunter , a local attorney, and rushed to a hospital, where it is said he will recover. Stokes entered the barn to seek a night's lodging, it is said,and in walk- ing about in tie dark plunged into the chute. His arms were pinned to his sides, and, unable to move he was forced to inhalte the suffocating grain chaft all night. He was discovered by 2 companion, who summoned the po- lice, and Stokes was pulled out, black in the face, but apparently not seri- ously hurt. Auburn, N. EASTER PARADERS FOUND IT CHILLY ON THE BOARD WALK Nearly 250,000 Paraders at Atlantic City, But Many Wore Furs. Atlantic City, N. J., April 16.—Near 1y a quarter of a million visitors prom- enaded the board walk here today in the annual Easter parade. Every avail- able rolling chair was in use during the entire day, forming a contlnuous procession in either direction, while | the broad space between the two lines was crowded with thousands of those afoot. . Bright, clear skies tempted many visitors to appear in their new spring clothes, but a sharp northwest wind, which blew at the rate of thirty miles an hour, made the furs worn by others decidedly comfortable. Death of George W. Goodyear. Buffalo, N. Y., April 16.—Charles W. Goodyear, prominent as a lawyer, lum- ber man and coal operator, and- a ‘ullder of raliroad lines, died here to- day after*mn iliness of several months, Ar, Goodyear was born in Cortland, . Y., in 1846. He adopted the law as| @ profession and: practiced until 1887. He took an active part in poHtics as a democrat and served several terms as district attorney of Erie county. It was largely through his efforts that Grover (leveland was nominated for governor. “Uncle Joshua” SIMPLE FUNERAL FOR CREATOR OF POPULAR CHARACTER. A WHITTIER POEM READ Chimes of Catholic Church Play “Nearer, ,M’ God, to T!iu," as Body Was Being Lowered Into Grave. West Swanzey, N. H, April 16— Denman Thompson, creator and por- trayer of that homely New England character, “Uncle Joshua Whitcomb, which he had endeared to theater- goers all over the country, was laid at rest here today. Burlal was in the lit- tle cemetey across the road from the venerable actor's home, in which have rested for some vears the bodies of those West Swanzey. villagers who in life gave Mr. Thompson the inspira- tion for “Uncle Josh” and his friends Services Were Simple. The services, held in the parlor of the homestead, were simple. in keep- ing with Mr.' Thompson's wish, ex- pressed just before his death. In response ‘to" the veteran actor's request the members of the' “Old Homestead” company, who attended in a body, participated only as mourn- ers. 4 Whi r's Poem Read. It had been expected that the fam- ous farmhand quartette would sing, but the even tenor of the service in the parlor of the Thompson home- stead was. broken only by Sobbing as Rev. H. Sumner Mitchell, pastor of the Unitarian church at Keene, recit- ed Whittier's poem “Te G. L. S.:” “For the warmest of hearts is frozen, The freest of hands is still, the gap in our pick and chosen, The long years may not fill.” Villagers and Friends Follow Hearse. Besides the poem, the services con- sisted only of a scriptural reading, a prayer and the reading of a prose se- laction, “Old Age,” by William New- ell, @ glven by Rev. Mr. Mitchell When the casket was borne to its last resting_place in the little cemetery the entire assembly. which included the people of tho village as- well as hundreds of other friends, fell in be- hind the hearse und stoed with bared heads Dby the grave.

Y. and Patrick Redmond of Providence, R. I Lifelong Friends of Deceased. Mr. Gale was an original member of Mr. Thompson’s company, and Mr. Knapp -was a member -of t ehcompany within & few yeary of its start. Both were lifelong friends- of teh departed actor. . Mr. Wyman was Mr. Thomp- sow's attorney. fssgmameiiond It s, the. veteran actor’s. wisn that hils law- yer and friend speak at his funeral. But Mr. Wyman today wes 80 over- come .y his emotions that he could not fufill the request. “Nearer, My’ Ged, to Thee,” by Chimes. Just as the casket was being lower- ed into‘the grave there was wafted to th ‘ears of the assembled sorrowers the tume -of thc hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” played on the chimes of -the-Cathello- church. Mr. Thomp- son presented the chimes to the chureh several years ago. CANADIAN - PARLIAMENT READY FOR RECIPROCITY, u¢ Will Not Ratify Agreement Un- til Congress Has Done So. Ottawa, Ont., April 16.—A favorable vote on ‘the reciprocity agreement with the United States is looked for by members of the Dominion govern- ment not long after parliament re- assembles on Wednesday. The rapid progress- being made at Washington and the prediction that the agreement. will be before the American senato by | next Thursday, have been noted here with satisfaction by the gevernment's support, Settlement of the reci- procity issue in Canada, they believe, now depends primarily upon action at Washington. Any assurance that! congress will ratify ~the agreement| may be_coupled_they say with the as- rance of the agreement on the other side of ihe line s certaim o I ‘anedian gove acke: by & majerity of more-tisn’ forty the house, is pledged and anvious to put the agresmient. througiz as Soon as | the conservative opposition permits a | vote.

But their stubborn resistance admit- tedly is being keut up on a hope that the situation may be saved from the conservative point of view, by a_ sec- ond fallure of the senate at Washing- | ton to pass the American part of the | pact. | OBITUARY.
