Office To-Day.

Office To-Day.
Yesterday was simply a perfect day
and, in consequence, the churches were
all we'll attended. Nothing Of special
interest marked the day, however, the
pulpits being filled by the regular
pastors, and the usual services being
had. Being the first Sunday in
the month. the Holy Communion
was celebrated in all the Episcopal
churches, and this was the only de-
par,ure from the regular routine work
of the average Sunday.
The balminess OF the day was thorough
ly enjoyed by our entire population. The
parks were filled with children VINO
seemed full of happiness, and the surbnr
ban resorts were all well pa.ronized. The
electric cars as usual did tremendous
business, being jammcd whether going
East or West. When double tracks are
laid all the way to the New Reservoir,
thereby avoiding the present waits at The
different switches after leaving Clay
street, there is no telling what will be the
limit TO tie travel on the line.
