peculiar fascination to those who are in
the slightest degree interested in pugi-

Sunday morning. The contestants

Both men wore dogskin driving gloves,
and during the fight exercised a great
deal of caution. Lasher forced the
fighting and in the third round
had Martin practically whipped,
but the timekeeperS very Oblig-
ingly allowed that gentleman
plenty of time in which to come to the

rounds consisted of about one minute

AN EASTER SERVICE.
A Pleasing Sermon by Rev. Father
McGOlriCk

mcUOIfLCks
: Long before the 10O'clock mass at the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
yesterday morning all seats were taken
and the aisles were crowded even to the
altar, while 500 people, at the least cal
culatiOn, were unable to obtain admis
sion to the church. but nevertheless re-
manned outside the church until the
services were over. POntifical high
mass was celebrated, and the full choir,
assisted by the DAM orchestra, rem
dered Mozart's twelfth mass magnifi-
OffertOry. The affairs were profusely
decorated with Easter lilies, roses and
'potted plants, and presented scene of
beauty well in keeping with the
sacredness of the occasion. Rev.
Father James McGolrick delivered
a most impressive sermon. After read
ing from the Epistles of st. Paul to the
Corinthians, he said that the union of
the soul and body of Jesus Christ was
the great and central fact of Christian
ity, with which true religion would be
almost defenSeleSs. He dwelJ with con-
siderable stress upon the fact that
Christ, to save the world, had appeared
on earth as the son of man, and de-
nOunced the heresies that have been
built upon the assumption that it was
unworthy of God to assume sinful flesh.
The teachings of Christ, he held, do not
constitute philosophy, but the true
religion and the Catholic church was
founded by Him as His representative
on earth. In his perOration he reviewed
the history of the past century which
was ushered in by an era of bloodshed,
and held that the church which to-day
unites all nationalities, will ultimately
triumph in its mission.

THE WEIGH jury Spends Sunday
Without Much Effect.

The jury in the Welch libel case
seems to be having a pleasant time OF
it. When court assemblies this morn
ing, a disagreement will probably be
reported and the jury discharged.
1t was Just twenty minutes before D
o'clock, on Saturday evening, when the
jury went out, and not until after the
twelve men, good and true" had taken
supper and rest from COl.SeSSlonS' verbal
shower bath, that ballot was taken.
Judging from the sounds that came
from the room, the jury discussed the
case until after midnight before prepar-
ations were made for passing the night.
There are several cots in the jury room,
and tolerable kind of repose was had.
Upon arising yesterday morning al
Easter ballot was taken, but still no
agreement, nor any approach to one.
With chaStened and religious spirit, the
Jury spent the Sabbath, with WEIGH in
one pan of the scales and Villas in an
other, the one with the Home diary in
his hands and the other crowned with
civic honors, but the beam refused to
tip. The jury is very nearly evenly
divided, and it is whispered from the
dread secrecy of the jury-room that five
votes for conviction was the highest
number obtained. 1t is believed at the
court house that an agreement will
never be reached. The jury is prac-
tieally the same that convicted Pete
Barrett and is composed of men OF
strong convictions,

Showed Good Feeling.

Clare Vera, editor of the House
keeper. evidently thought he had a
strike on his hands Saturday evening
when every employee of the company
came pouring into his Office. He looked
embarrassed and nervous and was evil
IDENTIFY considerably nonplussed. His
embarrassment was not diminished when
of the force presented him with a mag
nifcent marble clock, to commemorate
the first anniversary of his control of
the establishment. MI. Vera never
made speech before, but there was no
escape. and he managed to express his
qualification. Miss Hattie Boyd, the
manager, was next presented with a
handsome Bible, much to her astOnish-
ment and delight. The episode, all
around, was very pleasant one.

ANTI-POVERTY TALK.

There was large attendance last
evening at the meeting of the Anti
Poverty society, held at Window hall.
B. d. Roberts made an address on
the ''Objects of the Anti
Poverty Society,"" and was followed
by Prof. NJ. A. Morey. the
subject of whose address was 1.-The Two
Kinds of Poverty" He claimed that
the poverty of religious and intellectual
matters was much worse than the pov-
erty of material things. l.. K. Camp
bell then gave an account
of a widow in New York
who had tried in vain to earn sufficient
money to support her three small chill
dren, and rather than see them
suffer for the necessaries of
life had poisoned them, and had
then surrendered herself to the police.
The speaker said the American people
would not allow the negroes to be slaves,
but they allow the white people to be
slaves, and starve them as well.

The Pence Opera house contained
very large audience last evening, who
seemed well pleased with the presenta-
ton of BuckstOne's pretty little comedy
of married Life" The play is exceed
ingly pleasing, mirth provoking and in
teresting. The serious complications
into which the five married couples
get themselves during the progress of
the play create any amount of laughter
on the part of the audience. For first

LIFE AND DEATH.
Rev. III. M. Simmons Tells How the
First Nav Win.

n. M. Simmons preached an Easter
sermon at the First Unitarian church,
yesterday morning. on the Victory OF
Life Over Death.1 He said this victory
is always proclaimed anew in the adj
vent Of spring, which Easter originally
celebrated. The little stems and root
lets locked in the frozen ground so long.
the tender buds left bare IN the bmstsi
of winter, the dainty seeds enduTlngI
cold that bursts vessels of iron, start
suddenly into leaf and flower, and as
sert the power of life. The autumnal
fall of foliage was not life'S funeral, but
only it's undressing for little sleep.
The snow was its snug blanket, and the
ice it's pillow and the blizzard its lulta-l
by; and at the touch of the April sun
beams it wakes with new vigOr like a;
boy in the morning, and dOnnlng new
suit of clothes, goes out to work 1.-THE
miracles of another year. Death did
his best to bury life, but little sun
shine lifts the stone from the sepulcher,
and over all the land, from Maine to-
Oregon, the winds are joining in their
Easter song, 80 Grave, Where Is tIhy
Victory?'' Life ever wins i'll the contest.
and in a few weeks will have it's viet0-
IlOuS UdllltIS uHluIlC Wy tiO Hli1tiRA
through the forests and along the
streets.
The same victory is proclaimed still
more clearly through the long history
OF the earth-where life has not only
held its own, but ever advanced-from
MOSES to naples, and from molluscs to
men. The same is seen in human his
tory-where ruder civilizations and re-
ligiOns have died only to be followed by
better. The same is seen in the history
of every true man-whOSe life is con-
slant dying out of narrower thoughts
and feelings, to bring larger and higher.
And this truth, proclaimed so unlver-
sally, we may trust forever. We may be
sure chat nothing in us will die that is
worth living-that everything in us will
live that is worth a resurrection. True
religion will live in this trust-and will
not give way to Lenten lamentation, but
keep Easter all the time. 1t will think
not of death, but of life. 1t will go on
serenely from day to day, doing its du-
ties and enjoying the delights that they
bring. 1t will waste no time in worry
ing about yesterday, tomorrow or
eternity; but trust that the same Power
which takes SO good care of us, now and
here, will continue to do SO always and
