At the morning services Rev. Francls M. Larkin, Ph. D, pastor of the chtrch, ad- dressed the children of the congregation on the “Child and the Baster Joy.” He spoke of the great transformation of a child into a man and urged upon the chil- dren the.necessity of living a pure Chris- tian life while they were still young, that they may grow up with the love of Christ in their hearts. At the close of the serv- ices a collection of 3200 was taken .up for In the evening “The Holy City”” was rendered before a crowd- ed church. Calvary Presbyterian Church, Jackson and Fillmore streets, was filled to the doors at both services yesterday to hear the excellent musical programmes ren- dered by the choir. Several solos by mem- bers of the choilr were of special merit and the whole programme proved of more than ordinary worth. W. Handel Thor- ley, organist and director of the choir, gave several organ selections at both services. Rev. John Hemphill, D..D., pas- tor of the church, preached at both serv- ices, his subjects being “Proofs of Our Lord’s Resurrection” and “Our Lord's As- cension and Its Meaning.” The Simpson Memorial Church, Hayes and Buchanan streets, was beautifully decorated with calla lilies and evergreen for the services yesterday, and the special musical programme given by the choir of the church reflected much credit upon the individual members thereof.

Williams, pastor of the church, preached a sermon on “The Message of Easter,” in which he spoke of the teach- ing of the Apostle Paul and gave many proofs of the reSurrection of Christ, which he says must be true or the Chris- tian religion has no foundation.

William Kirk Guthrie yester- day morning at the First Presbyterian Church, corner of Sacramento street and Van Ness avenue. The church was artistically decorated with flowers, while a musical programme of excep- tional merit was given by the choir. A beautiful service was also held in the evening. - St. Markus Lutheran Church never witnessed a larger attendance within its handsome walls than yesterday.

Julius Fuendeling delivered the sermon on “The Resurrection” and officiated throughout the impressive services. St. Paulus’ Gérman Lutheran Church, at the corner of Eddy and Gough streets, was appropriately decorated with lilies for the Easter services, and as usual the edifice was crowded. Con- fession preceded the special services for the day. Rev. G. A. Bernthal selected as the subject of his sermon, “Christ's Resurrection a Victory.” He discoyrsed very ably on the benefits to be derived from the lessomr of “Christ's Victory Over Death.” The choir of the church, umder the direction of Professor J. H. Hargens, rendered Burhenn's “Hallelu- jah.” The large number of communi- cants included forty catachumens, add- ing impressiveness to 'the services. ™y Bishop Nichols Confirms Class. ¢ A congregation which occupied every inch of space In St. Luke's Church wit- nessed the confirmation of a large class last night by the Bishop of Cali- fornia, the Right Rev. Willlam Ford Nichols, D.D. *“The words spoken -by the Bishop to the confirmed were heard late Miss Laura Van The | with intense interest.

R FRO Two Women Revived After Six Days’ Entombment Under Ashes of Vesuvius Vicetims of Cataclysm Found Clasping Coins and Jewels in Their Lifeless Hands NAPLES, April _ 15.—The somewhat threatening condition of Mount Vesuvius last night having subsided with the ejec- tion of enormous clouds of sand and ashés, the elements have begun to settle slowly, again enveloping the mountain in a thick haze and cutting off the view from Naples, only the outline of the base belng visible. 2 Professor Matteucel, director of the Royal Observatory on the mountain, to- night issued the following bulletin: “‘My instruments are now most calm. The emission of sand continues in abund- ant quantities and I await serenely a satisfactory termination of the eruption.” The sudden renewal of alarm last night gave way today to the celebration of Easter with unusual fervor. The festival is always picturesque in Naples, but to- day it was doubly so. Cardinal Prisco, Archbishop of Naples, celebrated an elab~ orate thanksgivihg-mass in the cathedral, while &lonz the streets crowds prostrated themselves before sacred images. The gravity of the situation has now shifted to Ottajano and San Gluseppe, where the recovery of the dead from the debris goes on amid the misery of thou- sands of ‘hm. refugees. A sensa- tional devel t occurred during the work of salvage at Ottajano today, when the searchers unearthed two aged women, still. alive, but”speechless after six days’ entombment. They were among the hun- dreds who were crushed beneath the fall- ing walls during the rain of stones and ashes last Sunday and Monday. The women were protected by the rafters of the house and had managed to exist on a few Morselg of food, which they had in their pocketsd - Nine bodles were taken out today and it is estimated that a hundred more re- main under the ruins. The work of salvage at San Giuseppe has brought to light a remarkable con- dition. Bodies have been found of women in whose hands were coins and jewels, and one woman held a rosary, indicating the instinct to preserve earthly belong- ings in the moment of fleeing from death. The excavations at Herculaneum, over which the town of Resina stands, have recorded similar instances of death over- taking its victims carrying their jewels ‘while fleeing from the invading lava.

While the robbery was -going on Mrs. Falrgrave, living above -the saloon, heard the commotion, seized a revolver and started down stairs. She opened a side door and stepped into the saloon just as a robber struck and knocked senseless one of the victims. Poking her pistol against the temple of the robber, she commanded, “Drop your gun or I will blow your head off.” The desperado handed over his gun and before the others realized what she was up to Mrs. Fairgrave covered them both with a pistol in either hand.

NEW YORK, April 15.—Michael de Lauero’s escape from the law, when sought for the murder of Frank Rosso of West Park last summer, as appears from the disclosures of a Neptune township officlal, was more sensational and mys- terfous than ‘anything ever told by a French novelist.

After the murder last sum- mer, De Lauero disappeared and although detectives and a posse scoured the coun- try for miles about, the hiding-place of De Lauero was never disclosed. It appears now from the story of the township official that De Lauero on the night of the murder was secreted in the house of a countryman. At break of day he was taken to the sand hills of West Park and lterally buried in a deep guily at the side of a hill. Here he remained for a week, belng supplied with provisions and water. i On the seventh day after the murder De Lauero was placed in an empty beer barrel and driven aboard an outgoing Itallan steamship bound for Naples.
