The resurrection was the topic on which
he pastors dwelt jesterday. Easter music
as wafted from the choir lofts , Easter
ermons from the pulpits , and Caster
noughts of the resurrection and new bon-
ets chased themselves through the minds
f the audiences. Nearly every church In
ha city had made special efforts to have Its
ervlcs > attractive , and flowers nnd music
vc-re called In lo help express the Joy felt
t the ushering out of winter.
At the First Presbyterian church an an-
Icnco gathered which filled all the pews
ml the nlsles as well , chairs having to be
rout-lit In to accommodate the throngs. The
iulplt w is banked nrouud with lilies and
minis. Dr Phelpa preached an eloquent ser-
mon , taking the risen Lord as his subject
ho stone which vvas rolled away from the
grave by the King of Heaven was typical
f the barriers that had been removed from
niman piogress by the perfection of th'
divine plan of redemption. The telephone ,
elegraph , railway and newspaper had been
> rought In au agencies for the uplifting of
nanklnd ; rivers had been bridged , mountains
unnelcil and rough plnces made smooth ,
all for Ihe sake of Ihe King , who Is again to
visit the earth In glory. Intemperance , In
fidelity , nnd Sabbath desecration are barriers
which arr > yet lo be removed night hun
dred millions of theearth's Inhabitants arc
still separated from one another by the
larkness of heathendom , but their ejes are
o bo opened to the light of the gospel and
all arc to b ? brought Into the universal
brotherhood of man through the beneficent
nfluenco of the gospel.
"I don't ask you to rally around an empt >
cross or a deserted tomb , " he said. "IJurj
the old cross , with all Its memories of horror
ind woe , and look above , to the throne
where Jesus stands , not expiring In death
agonies , but crowned with glory and holding
Ihe scepter which Is to rule the world for
ever. "
At the close of the sermon two candidates
wire received Into the church by baptism.
The choir , a double quartet , rendered an
anthem In an excellent manner , and Mrs.
W.V. . Sherman sang the offertory solo. In
the evening another service was held , at
which the choir sang "Gloria In Rxcelsls , "
by Cramer , and Miss Hattle Palmer sang
"Tho Hesurrectlon , " by Harry Howe Shel
ley.At
At the Broadway Methodist church the
morning service was under the ausplcss of
the Sunday school. A program of recitations
by the scholars , Interspersed with music by
the choir and solo voices , was listened to
by a largo audience.
An unusually Interesting program was the
one carried out at St. John's English Lu-
Iheran church. It was quilo largely mu
sical , and the sermon by the pastor , Rev
O. W. Snyder , was appropriate to the occa
sion. In the evening the Sunday school ren
dered an Raster cantata , entitled , "The Calm
and Ileautlful Morn , " by W. L. Reiisberg ,
with Miss Sylvia Snyder at the piano.
At Grace church In the afternoon there
was an afternoon service , with Mr. Cham
berlain as lay reader. The regular service
was carried out , St. Paul's choir s'nglng the
"Magnificat" and "Nunc Dlmlttls , " by E
Dunnett , In F , and "Awake Up by My
Glory , " by J. Uarnby.
Raster services were held yesterday at the
Christian church. The attendance was large
ami the- church was profusely decorated will
flowers. The pulpit , was occupied by Rev
Mr. Haggard , secretary of the Christian asso
elation.
CONGRRGATIONAL CHURCH CROWDRD
The First Congregational church was so
crowded with Raster worshipers that chairs
had to be placed In the aisles. The pulpl
and platform were hidden by a graceful ar
ranging of plants , palms , vines and flowers
The decorations were not confined to Easter
lilies , but numerous other colors blended In
Ihe beautiful combination , while , above all , as
though polling gracefully In mid air , was
the white dove of such symbolic significance
In the church life.
The choir gave tome special music and
rendered It well The pastor. Rev. Dr. Askln
was at his best. His text was from Revela
lions , "I am Ho Ihat llveth and was dead
and behold , I am alive for evermore. Amen ,
and have the keys of hell nnd of death. " In
eloquent , forceful words he urged his hearers
not only to remember the historic Christ , hu
the reigning and glorified Christ. In the
words of the text quoted the speaker rem
the deeper truth that while the risen Chrlsi
was surrounded by all glory , and possessor o
all power , He did not want His followers
to be so carried away with the beatific vlsloi
revealed to John as to forget that He was the
same whom they knew as the man of sorrows
rows , rle wanted the children of earth ti
have a glimpse of His glory , that He mlghi
be to them not only a memory of the past ,
but a help for the present nnd a hope for the
future. A man might know all about Christ
and yet not know Christ. Such a one coul <
not feel the full significance of Raster.
In the evening the Sunday school gave a
social concert. Recitations were lnterspersc (
with several unique exercises , the program
clcstng with quite an elaborate picturing by
song , scriptural selections and recitations o
the lessons taught by the various forms o
Illy life.

FARM LANDS" DEMAND.
'cmi.sylviinlu Modi inlui Spelling Home * on
I'nrin * .
There has been a brisk demand during Die
mst summer and winter for farms adjacent
o the city , says the New Castle , Pa. , Guar
dian. This , no doubt , has grown out of the
uncertainty ] | of steady employment nnd the
reduction of wages , occasioned by the In-
rcdt
lustrlal and business depression which has
irevnllcd. In this city , although our Indus-
rial establishments have run with remark-
iblo regularity under the circumstances ,
hero have been cuts In wages which have
nade the man who earns a living by the use
of his hands very uncertain regarding Ihe
iitnre. Ills past experience has taught him
that further regular employment can not
always be looked forward to , and the reduc
tion In I.Is earnings has caused him more
uneasiness , because It makes It more dllli-
cult for him to provide for n "rainy day. "
A reporter dropped hue the oUlcc of one of
. ; he leading real estale agents , and during the
talk learned that there had been quite a
demand for farms within n few miles of
the central portion of Now Castle. Said the
real estale man"Farm properly In Law
rence counly has been In good demand dur
ing Ihe past fall and present winter. There
has not been much enhancement In values
of real estate growing out of this call for
such property as yet , but It will undoubted ! )
lead to It. Not only are there quite a
number of persons who desire to buy land cf
this kind , but it Is considered Just at present
the best security by people who have mone >
lo loan at Interest. A well known Lawrence
county man Just the other day wanted mete
to loan for him $6.000 to $18,000 on farm
lands. He probably thought It a safer In
vestment than city property. Country prop
erty Is not subject to the fluctuations of
New Castle real eslate by reason of the fact
that In the latter place tlie simt-downs of
Industrial establishment have a marked effect
on the real estale market. I know of n
number of New Castle men who want to buj
farm property adjacent to the city. One of
these desires to Invest $ C,000 nnd nnother
$5,000. Mechanics In all Irades have bsen
here during the past few months getting In
formation regarding farm values. Some of
these , should they purchase farms , will quit
working In our Induslrlal planls , while olhers
want their property near town to they can
continue their avocation here. "
BUFFALO HAS A SAMPSON.

The examining surgeons of the Slxty-flft'i
rcglmcnl , Nallonal Guard , at Buffalo , N. Y ,
found a Snmson last week. Among the can
didates examined was Bert Bartrnm , a cart
man , about 32 years old < When he had
stripped for the examination ho sat on a
chair and asked the physicians to Eland or
Ills ankles. One slood on each ankle , am
Ihen , apparently without any great effort
lint tram raised his legs until they stood like
parallel bars , and held the doctors In the air
for two minutes. Four Hebrew clerks In the
vvl.olesale clothing house of Warner Bros. & .
Co. found this Samson a week earlier. The )
knew that he prided himself on his strcnKll
and put up a job on him. He gels Ilio
wages of two men on account of his great
strength.
A few days ago Bartram was delivering
some heavy cases nt the clothing house am
lifted the cases on and off the dray without
the aid of skids. One of the clerks pointed
to a big c.132 on the floor and asked Bartian
If he could lift It. They told htm It held 700
pounds of cloth.
He offered to bet that he could and agreed
to return as soon as he had delivered the
other packages on the wagon and do th
trick for them. While he was gone the
young men emptied the case , drove four long
nails through the bottom of It Into the floor
and went Into the cellar nnd clinched th
nails. Then they returned the goods to the
bo\ and waited for Dartram. He appearci
at the appointed time , strode over to the cas *
and took hold of II. It didn't budge.
"Sure there's only 700 pounds In It ? " said
he.
he.The
The four young men assured him that thai
was all It contained and then offered lo bei
him that he could not lift It. Dartram pul
up $20 against $20 raised by the. clerks
Then he removed his coat , fastened his big
hands on the case , gave a powerful tug am
the case rose In the air with a crackling jj
timber and a cloud of duct. Six square fee
of the floor came up with the box. Ilartrair
pcckeled the money nnd after reproving the
young men for the attempted fraud wen
away. The carpenter's bill of $8 was paid by
the crestfallen clerks.

TOLEDO , April 14. ChUrclf' ' goers In the
ewer part of the city were treated to the
unusual spectacle shortly niter 8 o'clock this
morning of the major and chief of police
dashing out of the La Grange street police
station behind a fiery steed , followed Imme
diately by two patrol wagons loaded with
ofllcers. fifteen minutes laler the wagons
were wending their way back to the station ,
liavlng on board twenty-six prisoners street
laborers who had been arrested on n charge
of a violation of the ordinance prohibiting
manual labor on the Sabbath ,
These incidents formed the climax to the
attempl of the Manufacturers Railway company -
pany to lay a line on Water street without
the permission , It Is alleged , of the city en
gineer. The ordinance enfranchising the
company passed the city council after a blt-
tur flghl. and It vvas hinted during the past
week that the company would be restrained
from attempting to put down rails on Water
strccl. At midnight Sunday n big force of
men were put to work on the line and contin
ued until this morning. They expected to
finish the track by midnight tonight , but
their hopes were rudely shattered when the
police arrived.
Blck < t Glenn , contractor ? , gave ball for
the men arrested , and the latter will have
n hearing lomorrovv morning This afternoon
the Toledo Bending company had papers
drawn up asking for nn Injunction lo prevent
further work on the line Unless the con
tractors are restrained they sny Ihey will
resume operations nt midnight At nil events
the franchise of the company will be al-
tacked , their opponents say , and Ihe laller
claim they have n case that will hold.
At midnight an attempt was made to re
sume work on the road , but the police again
Interfered and arrested the laborers a second
time. An order was Issued for the arrest of
also of the contractors , but none of them
could be found.

sunlight shone upon It , for a , short time It
began to writhe and squirm preparatory to
making Its escape. This ivas not to be.
When the surprised mdn' ' came to their
senses they quickly canllncd the strange
reptile , and In Its we.ilj : condition It vvas
placed In a box and measured by n rule
and found to bo five Cept--threo Inches In
length. U vvas imprisoned in a box an 1
tlloneil to regain Its usual f riskiness. When
It had become thawed oAit lt ) made all sorts
of offorls lo get out Its forked tongue was
darted out with lightning-like rapidity nnd
Its eyes seemed to glow with an angry fire.
The snake was given a wide berth by the
curious sightseers , by whom It vvas lookel
upon as a most btrango creature. And In
deed It Is. A long white body , with largo
black spots , give It n grotesque and un
canny : appearance , oven greater than that
usually dlspla > ed by snakes.
The nest that it was concealed In Is of
the most peculiar construction. U has the
appearance of being made from oakum , with
which boats arc caulked , and It Is the sup
position on the part of some Hint this substance -
stance was secured during the trip In the
steamer , where It constructed Its nest , of
the shape and nppcnrnnco of a barn swal
low's nest , and made Its homo for the Jour
ney abroad There Is no one of the com
mission merchants that recalls a similar
strange visitor , and the variety of the rep
tile Is n problem that Is awaiting a solution
by sorno scientist.

The West Chicago Street Railway company
owns many things , relates t ! : = Tribune , but
there Is one of Us possessions Ihat Is little
noted , almost unknown to fame and scarcely
classified among the assets of the concern.
That Is Jupiter , the low horse of Western
avenue viaduct , and the tallest horse In the
city , if not In America barring , of course ,
the occasional gigantic freaks exhibited lii
sldo shows and dime museums.
Jupiter Is n scraggy , bony , ungainly bay , 9
years old and of Kentucky parentage. Dave
Qulnlan Is his master , and Dave makes an
excellent background or measuring rod to
estimate tne big horse's bulk and stature.
Dave is five feet ten and wears a high derby.
When he stands beside Jupiter the top ol
the hat does not come to the level of the
shoulder. "Jupe Is seven feet from
hoof lo shoulder , " said Mr. Qulnlan , "and he
vs eights about 2,200 pounds
Jupiter Is about as Intelligent as the aver
age tow horse , but possesses tremendous
strength and hauls the cars up the sleep In
cline of Ihe vladucl vvllli as much , ease as
If ho were trolling down hill.

There ls a woman In caslern Maine , says
the Lewlston Journal , who couldn't go to a
picnic when Invited because she couldn't get
time. "I have so much work at home , " she
said "I can't go anywhere. " Yet this saint
woman afterward bent a lot of old rags to a
junk dealer , where she realized a price ol
1 cent a pound , perhaps , nnd every piece ol
them had been newly washed and Ironed
smooth , and was neatly folded up. The thing
was eo funny that the junkman put the rags
on exhibition as the work of a woman who
was short of time. She can now safely lay
claim to the title of ' 'chamtilon neat woman
of America. " ' / '

A NEW ELEMENT.
The Dlicurorj of Argon I'ollotred bjr the
Itnlntlon of llcllntu ,
The detection of the gns argon In the at
mosphere Is being followed by a rapid series
of discoveries of great Interest , says a Lon
don dispatch. Chcmlits have long known ,
theoretically , of the existence of another
clement which has been called helium , and
which was revealed by the tpcctroscopo In
.ho sun's rays. U was not known to exist
n I this planet , 1'rof. Ilamsay a few days
dgo t , In order to find whether there was
something In the world with which argon
would keep company , was examining an ex-
rernoly rare earth found tn Norway and
< nown as clevclte. When this mineral Is
treated with weak sulphuric ncld It gives oft
a gas which has hltherlo been regarded as
iltrogen. The protestor found , by close ex
amination , that It vvas not nitrogen , but
argon , nnd , moreover , there was associated
with It another gas which he found to be , to
use his own words , gas which had not jet
jccn separated IIo submitted It to 1'rof.
Crookes , and the result Is to show that the
gas thus found Is helium. !
M. Bcrthelot , continuing his experiments j
n I'arls , found that In manipulating argon
lie developed at an ordinary pressure a mag
nificent ( luoreiccnt substance , greenish > cl- '
low In color , nnd characterized by a spertrum
similar to that of the Aurora llorralla. Prom i
this ho deducted Ihat the northern lights
arc caused by lluorcscent mutter derived
[ rom argon and engendered through the In-
lucnco of electrical emanations developed
In the atmosphere. i
Still another scientific triumph of the week
Is Ihp llqiicfacllon of lodrogen by 1'rof
Olszewskl of Cracow. Prof. Dewar's rival
He finds that the lightest of all gasscs
liquifies at 243 degrees below zero.

An old British admiral , well known for his
powers of exaggeration , was describing a
vojage at supper one night.
"While cruising In the Pacific , " said he ,
"we passed an island which was positively
red with lobsters. "
"Hut , " said one of the guests , smiling In
credulously , "lobsters are not red unlll
boiled. "
' Of course not , " replied the undaunted ad
miral , , "but this was a volcanic Island with
boiling | springs ! "
