We need not wonder that in so ancient
and thriving a city old customs and
games were kept up. On Easter Day
there might be seen the mayor and his
corporation, with the twenty guilds es-
tablished in Chester with their wardens
at their heads, setting forth in all their
pageantry to the Roodeye to play at foot

and cap of maintenance, stood before the
cross, while the guild of shoemakers, to
whom the right had belonged from time
immemorial, presented him with the ball
Of the value of three and fourpence or
above, and all set to work right merrily
But, as too often happens in this game,
great strife arose among the young
people, and hence, in the time of Henry
VIII. this piece of homage to the mayor
was converted into present from the
shoemakers to the drapers of six gleaves
or hand darts of silver, to be given
for the best foot race, while the saddlers,
who went in procession on horseback,
attired in all their bravery each carry
ing spear with wooden ball decorated
with flowers and arms, exchanged their
offering for silver bell, which should be
q ''rewarde for that horse which with
speedy runniage should run before the
others"
In the Easter festivity the t1umpeter
and herald usually proceeded in advance
of the procession, and indeed this was
the custom at all of the Chester festiv-
tiles.
We may be sure that the Pace, Pask

to see the sepulchers which were erected

personated all the characters connected

In the midst of hard, matter of-fact
buildings on the corner of Third ave-
nue. and Third street, are three build
ings whose mission in that region is for
the spiritual edificatiOn of the people
yes, and for all of the people. The
edifice of the Church of Immaculate
Conception stands close up to the cor
ner of the two thoroughfares, the
three entrances opening onto Third
avenue. This building was erect
ed in 1878, some four years
after the church was established, for
the organization took place twenty
years ago. The firstyears of the church
were years of struggle and the house of
worship was most primitive building.
Father James McGOlrick has from the
first been the director in every step of
progress the church has made. The
structure is magnificent one of light
cOlOred limestone, truly Catholic in
every detail. The main auditorium is
of imm ense size, and, though it has no
gallery, is capable of seating about
fifteen hundred people. The walls are
handsomely frescOed with figures rep
resenting Bible legends, and between
the handsome stained glass win
dOwS hang the scenes in the
passion and death of JESUS" The
most beautiful of the windows is the
one back of the altar, which is beauti-
fully decorated with natural flowers.
heavy laces and tapers. On either side
of the main altar are smaller ones.
This portion of the church is separated
by railing from the main auditorium,
and within this are very finely. executed
pieces of sculpture. Besides these
large affairs are many smaller ones,
cared for by the different societies.
The substantial brick building stand
ing next to the church structure is
the Association hall, which was
erected in 1887. 1t contains large
assembly hall and the library of the St.
Vincent de Paul society, and is the
meeting place for the parish societies.
The parochial school is also held in this
building. This school has about 800
scholars taught by sisters from Holy
Angels academy. There are bath rooms
and gymnasia in the hall. The other
building is the large residence of the
priests, brick structure with lattice
front and general appearance of COM
fort, though everything is plain in the
extreme.

SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE.
That Is the Kind of a Division
Davies Wants.

CHICAGO, March 31.-To-night "Par-
SON. Davies said that if by any means he
could prevent there would be no second
meeting between Weir and Murphy.
After the return of the fighters to Chi
cago to-day, it was ascertained that one
of Murphy's left ribs was broken.
Weir, in addition to his injured hands,
has fracture of the jaw, though not a
under the circumstances another fight
within three days would be
beastial. He is willing to divide the
the $1,000 purse equally between the
men, declaring they have earned it. In
this case, all bets would virtually be
declared off. Should some such az
rangement not be made. Davies inti-
mates that, if forced, he will call on
the police to jail the fighters and their
hackers. Murphy and his hackers have
asked that special mention be made
every detail. They make the re-
quest in view of the gossip among East
ern sports previous to the match that
there was probability Murphy would
be given mighty little show in Chicago.
If the purse of 81 500 is divided equally,
it would mean that each of the fighters
would obtain one-half of the gate re-
celpts. The purse and the gate receipts
are one and the same thing. The agree
ment was that Manager Dawes should
guarantee prize of $1,000, he to bear
all expenses and to recoup himself by
the sale of tickets of admission. The
affair was, therefore, practically a
contest for the gate receipts, and one
explanation of the listlesSneSs of the
fighters during the last two-thirds of the
contest is that by that time they were
tacitly agreed it would be most agreea-
BILE to make division, share and share
alike, and not injure their future busi-
ness by spelling either mans reputa-
ton with Knockout. The hlgh-rollers
who paid the fancy price of SIS to see
finish fight have not been heard from,
and it is not unlikely that some of them
may criticise Referee Myers, who re-

SHORT OF FUEL.
Admiral Porter Thinks Our Men
Of:War Were Ont of Coal

of-War Were Out of Coal.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The ina
bility of the American vessels to get
out of Apia harbor, and thus avoid
being forced on shore by the
hurricane, was a theme of specu-
lation with the naval officers to-day.
Admiral Porter said this evening:
Fewer lives were lost by the enguIf-
ing of the United States and German
vessels at Samoa than if battle had
been fought for the ownership of tile
island. Besides, [ regard it as prac-
tically settling the question which
has caused so much dispute regarding
this coral reef, and both govern
ments have ueen taught salutary les
son. The hurricane, or whatever it was,
came upon the ships so suddenly, as is
frequently the case in that part of the
world. that neither officers nor men
were able to lake any precautions
for safety or escape. Reference has been
made to the effect that the English
man-Of-war had steam up, and was
thereby enabled to get out of the way of
the disturbing element. My experience
has been that neither steam nor sail
would avail much III such storm, and
the probabilities are that the Calliope
was some distance from Apia, headed
for Sydney. There are no explicit rules
laid down by the navy department re-
garding the question of keeping
up steam or the supply of fuel on
board vessel, that being a mat
ter to be decided by its commander, and
the rule might be changed every month,
or every week, according to circum-
stances. There seems, however, to have
been shortage in the supply of coal,
and the recent shipment of that neces-
sary article from Philadelphia will
probably require three months for de-
livery at its destination, for it will have
to go around Cape Horn, and in a sail
ing vessel, too.O

ATTACKED HIS FAMILY.
Terrible Tragedy Enacted by an
Insane Tenn eSSeean.

( CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April l.
James c. Calhoun, prominent in busi-
ness, attempted to kill his family and
then himself to-day. He procured
bottle of muriatic acid and zinc. He
attacked his wife by grabbing her by
! the throat and striking her three blows
about the head and shoulders with
hatchet. He then took his daughter.
Cutting off her ear, he started for his
little boy, who escaped. Taking knife
he cut his throat and swallowed an
ounce and half of the muriatic acid and
zinc. Calhoun and his wife will prob
ably die. The daughter will recover.
1t is supposed that he had suddenly

on the Chicago & Atlantic road. The
referee. after the eightieth round. was
obliged to declare the fight off for the
day, and to announce that it would
have te be finished some time before
Tuesday. 1t is extremely doubtful,
however, if the men come together
again, certainly not within that time,
and another draw will have to go on
record. The fight this morning was
most peculiar one. For eighteen rounds
1t was as scientific and hard-fougbt
battle as has ever been seen in the prize
ring, but the other siXty-two rounds,
save the siXty-seventh and siXty-eighth,
amounted TO absolutely nothing. In
not more than ten of them was blow
struck, and most of the time the men
did not even put their hands up. The
explanation for this act is the fact that
after ten or twelve rounds the Spiders
hands went back on him and he could
do nothing with them. Murphy, who
proved himself a most plucky fighter
and most
WRETCHED GENERAL,
failed to get any advantage out of
Weir'S predicament. who kept dancing
just out of the English lads reach.
Another thing was that Murphy was in
the better condition. and the great
WeltS left from each blow showed that
he had not been rubbed" enough, as
Billy Myers put it. The Spider proved
himself much the cleVerer of the two,
and the way in which he sailed into
Murphy during the first few rounds,
smashing him first on one eye than on
the other, then on the nose, and twice
knocking him down with a resounding
crack on the neck, convinced many that
he could have won the fight had his
hands held out. There were others,
however, who were loud in their as
seruons that Murphy showed himself
the better man of the two. He certainly
proved himself to be one of the gameSt
men that ever entered the ring, and,
With his TWO eyes almost closed, and in
spite of having been sent to grass twice,
he rushed his lOng-limbed antagonist
all over the ring. This was in the early
part of the fight, however. During the
rest of it neither seemed inclined to do
much of anything, and the two men
alternately chaffed and blackguarded
each other, the spectators occasionally
varying the monOtOny of the proceed
ings by taking hand in the
TALKING MATCH
and urging the fighters to give them
their moneys worth. After round after

Weir made splendid rally. The sixty
seventh and siXty-eighth were as lively
as the most bloodthirsty could desire'
and Weir almost had the little fellow
knocked out. The squirt was short
one. however, and the old tactics were
again resumed, under the instruction
of the hackers. When the spectators
saw that nothing could be expected
they soon tired of the show, and the
postponement was really made at the
crowds demand. Weir's backer acted
very square, and before the rally
repeatedly urged the Spider to go in
and fight even if he got licked.
Parson Dawes management of the
affair was excellent, and his arrange
ments were all carried out like clock
work. A special train guarded with
Pinkerton men took the party down and
back. and the crowd was most orderly

A MAGNIFICENT CHOIR.
1t Is Composed OF Twenty-EighA
Male and Female Voices.

Male and Female Voices.
A very able choir composed of twenty.
eight voices, under perfect direction
| and excellent discipline, furnish the
music for the Church of the Immacus
late Conception. The music Is of high
order, the selections being from the
masters, and the words, as is the case
| In all the churches of the creed, being
pronounced in Latin. The music that
| floats out over the great congregations
that gather in the auditorium from the.
| choir gallery and great organ at its rear
| is OF character peculiar to the Catho-
| lie churches. Their forms of worship,
the chants and singing of psalms and
the musical parts of the mass furnish,
an excellent opportunity for the choral
singing. and also for the finer rendition
in solos. Prof. NJ. S. Baker organized
under his direction and leadership 1T
has come to its present perfection.
There are few new members in th0
choir, as most of them have sung to-
gether for years. This, with their COLI
slant practice, has enabled them exc
cute more difficult music than such
bodies generally undertake. Father
McGOlrick has from the first encouraged
and aided the choir, and they in return

his desire for good music in the church.
On special occasions, as Easter and
Christmas, DanZ' full orchestra aid in
the music of the church, and the music
from Handel, Mozart and Beethoven fill
the church.
M. Baker came to Minneapolis In
February, 1880, educated and prepared
to take a Congregational church, but as
there was no opening where he could
earn livelihood he took up the trade
of his early life as a machinist, and
coming in contact with Catholic people
adopted their religion as that
for which he had been seeking.
He was made leader of the sschoir
of the Immaculate Conception church
shortly after this and has since held the
position. His wife who is a finished
musician has for over two years acted
as organist. Miss Louise Wall is the
leading soprano of the choir having sang
with the choir for the past three years.
Her voice is clear and sweet and yet
so strong as to fill the great room. Miss
keating, the leading eontralto has for
eight years sang in the choir. The old
church walls have grown so used to her
clear bell-like notes that any one else I'm
her place would seem quite out of
place. Thomas Heating the basso and
Thomas O'Donald the tenor have also
sang for some eight years in the choir.
They, with every other member of the
choir, are first class vocalists and have
grown so used to their places that it
would be impossible to educate others
to fill them in years.
