The Day Given Up to Religious Services
The Work of Restoration Going On-The
Telegraph and Telephone Service Re
stOred-The Relief Committees Doing
Good and Efficient Work
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 2O.-Yester-
day was different day from last Sunday,
by reason of the suspension of the work
of reopening thoroughlares, which a
week ago was in iull blast Communica-
tions are now pretty well restored, the
telegraph lines are in operation and the
Telephone Exchange is working nearly
everywhere. The worst feature of the
day was a heavy rain IN the morn
ing, which injured considerably the con-
tents of exposed dwellings, and made the
remaining Campers-out particularly UNI
comfortable. But the discomfort and
loss were nothing in comparison with
what would have been the effect of a
doWnpour ten days ago. The feature of
the day, as was the case on last
Sunday, was the open.air worship.
The Mariners Church had services
on one of the ships in the harbOr The
Presbyterian and Huguenot Church serV-
ices were on the Battery. The Congrega-
ton of Grace Church worshiped in the
Sunday school building; the Second
Presbyterian congregation in the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. s. Riggs; st. Johns
Lutheran in its Sunday school, and other
congregations in their own churches.
There was marked devotion every where.
The close of the week enables the
work of the relief committee to be re-
viewed, and it is certain that every one
needing food and shelter has been pro-
vided for. Besides this, most valuable
work has been done by what is desig-
mated as the immediate relief committee,
which gives small sums OF
money to clearly. established cases
of need, outside of food and
lodgings, so as to provide for cloth
ing, bedding, the removal of furniture and
other like requirements. This committee
considers also applications where means
of livelihood have been dies troyed by the
earthquake. For purposes of urgent
need and early assistance, this commit
tee is doing admirable work. The mother
of Mayor Courtenay, aged eighty-one,
died to-day.

The Great Exposition Music Hall Packed
and Thousands Turned Away,
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2O.-The grandest
musical concert ever given in st. Louis
was that given at Music Hall yesterday
afternoon as the opening services of the
twenty-third triennal concIave of the
Knights Templar.
Long before the hour appointed for the
opening services the steps leading TO the
great entrance to Music Hall were packed
with humanity as well as the pavement
along the whole Olive street front, all
patiently waiting for the doors to be
opened.
At2:l5 the doors were opened and
grand rush was made for seats. The
parquette, however, had been reserved
for Sir knights and their ladies, and
nine policemen standing at the main en-
trance directed those unfortunate in this
respect to the gallery, where in five min
utes not an inch of standing room was
left vacant. The dresscircle was
then filed up equally compact and the
Templars filing in few minutes later,
not a seat in the house was left vacant.
At least 1000 were standing up. Even
the great vestbule in front of the hall
was crowded throughout the entire
service. Thousands came as far as the
doors, and seeing the hopelessness OF
getting within sight of the stage, went
away disappointed
