1T is a well known fact that last year
we had planned to increase our business
from Eighty Thousand Dollars $780,
OO0 to One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1O0,00O but owing to the unfav0rable
weather we did not reach that figure,
but did increase it to upwards OF $780,
900, and being desir0us OF reaching the
100000 mark this year, we bargained
for the Horse Car Station, believing
that with the additional room we could
certainly bring our business up to this
figure. but owing to a misun derstand-
ing we are not to have the Car Station,
and after carefully looking the field Ov-
er we are satisfied that we have room
enough for that amount OF business and
instead OF paying upwards OF One Thou.
sand Dollars Isl, ,0OO) for the additional
room, we believe that by making our
prices that much lower we can accom-.
plish our object and benefit our patrons
that much, and this we propose to do.
To show that the public appreciate
our low prices, note this fact, that since
the beginning Of our business year, Feb.
1, we have made these lew prices and
we are pleased to say that eur business
has shown the necessary per cent. gain,
although our margins have been no
more than they were during the same
period last year, but III we can only
make the gain we will be satisfied IL
there is no more money in our pocket at
the end OK January, '9l, than there
would have been under the old system.

Superintendent Porter says that he believes
the arrangements are now in good shape and
he sees no reason why rapid and efficient
work should not be done In taking the Gen.
sus. He proposes to be equally as prompt in
the compilation of the returns and will fur
nish the results of the census to the public at
the earliest practicable moment.
A Social Favorite.
For several years, in fact since he has be-
come the recognized leader of his party in
the House, Mr.. Reed has been the recipient
of numberless invitations to dine with the
political and social clubs that flourish in the
large cities. He has almost uniformly de-
clined these invitations, fact which has
not, however, had the effect of diminishing
in the least the hospitable intent of his ad-
mirers. Since he has become Speaker the
number of these invitations has increased
considerably, and not few of them have
been backed up by delegations from the or
ganlzations or cities when whence the invi-
tations have been issued Such was the case
with the invitation from the Young Repub-
lican Club of Philadelphia. The club sent
delegation of their most persuasive young
men down to Washington, and with Con-
gresham Harry Bingham of Philadelphia,
to lead them moved on the Speaker This
overpowering hospitality he could not re-
delphia. So, on next Wednesday evening
Mr.. Reed will be the guest of the young men
of Philadelphia. Another invitation which
he has accepted, and the only other one, is
from the Americus Club of Pittsburg, Pa,
one of the biggest clubs in the country. The
occasion will be on April 26th and in honor
Of the birthday Of General Grant. Since ac-
ceptlng that invitation Mr.. Reed has also
received one from Gen. Horace Porter to at
tend the Grant birthday dinner in New
York on the same date, which he will of
course have to decline. The invitation from
the Americus Club is probably one of the
finest pieces of printing and engraving ever
done on al invitation. A fine steel engrav-
ing of Gen. Grant ornaments the first page
after the gold embossed celluloid cover has
opened. Then follow pages with the toasts
and menu set off with pictures of scenes of
soldier life in camp and on the field. The
whole invitation is tied with little silk ma
tional flag. Probably these two invitations
will be about all Mr.. Reed will be able to
accept. The Speaker of the House is
good deal like pilot to ship on a danger
Gus coast; and he has to stand within reach
of the helm most of the time.

ST. LUKE's CATHEDRAL.

A profusion Of flowers added to the beauty
OF the chancel at st. Luke's Cathedral yes
tsrday and typified the joyous nature of the
Easter festival. They hid the top of the
chancel rail and cleaned from the pulpit and
the baptismal font. On the reredos, in
white flowers, were the words "Christ Is
Risen." Here the deep green Of palm leaves
was in contrast with the light colored stone
and here was also bank of carnations.
The font was filled with beautiful Easter
lilies. Above the pulpit hung a cross in
white and bouquets of cut flowers were
placed here and in o:her parts of the church,
many being in memory of the dead.
At o'clock there was celebration of the
holy communion, at which about 200 commu
nicauts were present. The morning service
at 1890 was attended by a congregation
which co 1pletely filled the church. Bishop
Neely's sermon was appropriate to the day,
forcibly presenting the fact of the divinity of
Christ. The music by the choir was well
rendered.
At the children's service in the afternoon
there was the usual baptism of childien.
There was full choral service in the eve
ming with a sermon by Rev. Canon Sils.
ST. STEPHENS.
The decorations at st. Stephens church
were simple but choice. The reading-desk
and pulpit were bordered withIwhite azaleas
and carnation pinks. At the right of the
reading-desk the font was festooned with
smilax and trimmed with azaleas. An ever
green cross, beautifully trimmed with Easter
lilies and carnation pinks, was suspended in
the chancel. There were several beautiful
memorials. The music. appropriate to the
day, was finely rendered by the choir. DIR.
Dalton spoke on the Resurrection.
