1HE WEST SIDE md TIE ELEVATED
RD1U

The growth of the West Side OF this city
is n marvel. The mexaggeratod account OF
the development of that segment OF New-l ork
during the last ten years does indeed ead
quite like fairy tale; 1T certainly matches
the talest Of the glowing tales OF those places
in the long g-striding West which arc mere
mining camps one day and on the next, owing
to the fact that some one has struck II rich"
begin to take on metropolitan airs. In an
astonishingly short space of time the West
Side has undergone complete transformation.
The entire area bounded on the east by Cen
tral and Morningside parks, on the west by
the Riverside Drive and the Hudson River, on
the south by Fifty -ninth-st. or thercabouts,
and on the north by Harlem, is referred to
when speaking of this lightning change.
Where were market gardens, high piles OF
rocks great stretches of pasture-land, dump
ing grounds lots vacant or else occupied only
ty weeds, goats or wretched shanties are now
the multitudnous and varied structures which
constitute great city-for the West side con-
sidered by itself is great city. New-I Iort
may not have solved the problem of rapid
transit but no one can teach her anything
about rapid building.
1t is ndeniablc, OF course, that the elevated
railroad has done much for the West Side.
Without the facilities which it has afforded
for gcttYng up and down town it would not,
because it could not, have forged ahead as it
has True, it may be argued that the West
Side has done as much for the elevated road
as the road has done for the West Side, since
the latter could not have proved a success so
far as its Harlem branch is concerned without
the concurrence of the latter. But, even grant
ing that this is so-that they are useless each
without the other'-the fact remains that the
West Side has good reason for regarding the
road which has contributed largely to her
prosperity with sentiments of distinguished
consideration and doubtless the road recipr0-
Gates the compliment The interesting ques-
ton which now suggests itself is, Does the
| road do as much for the West Side as the West
| Side does for the road? The West Side is
| giving the road an evcr-increasing volume of
| business. Every year finds her more populous
| by thousands than she was the year before, and
that means good many additional dollars in
the Golfers of the road 1t would be only fair
that the road should show its appreciation of
| this circumstance by making itself as service
| able to the West Side as it reasonably can.

LESSONS OF THE NEW- YORK CENSUS.

The latest revision of the census returns
from this city makes the population OF New
York 1,513.5O1, and the final revision will
not materially change that total 1t is not to
be denied that the result of the enumeration
has caused general surprise and disappoint-
ment The prevalent belief prior TO the cen
sus was that the metropolis contained more
than 1,GOO, 00O inhabitants; and wo venture
to say that few even of those who had con
sdered the subject with some degree OF care
would have been astCnished if tho number
had been found TO exceed 100000. That
figure to be sure, would have been out of all
proportion to recent percentages OF increase,
but there were many circumstances 10 sug-
gest an extraordinary growth. There is abun-
dant cause for reflection therefore, in the
record which discredts these sanguine ex-
pecations

rate organization of their own, under the name

A BOATING CLUB,

Why Not Organize One immediately
Opening of the Broadwater.
April 20 is the date fixed for reopeninp

and while he does not state what they shall
consist of he promises that they will be of a
character never before seen in this inter
mountain region and is confident that
everyone will be agreeably surprised.
The Thermel lake is now full, and our
local oarsmen should bestir themselves and
form boating club. The lake has sheet
of water more than three fourths of a mile
in extent, including the turn and can be
made much larger. There are number of
good college-bred oarsmen in Helena, and
they could undoubtedly get up fine team.

Falls Boating club as competitors and there
are many young amateurs here who would
be anxious to join the club and exercise
their skill. Now that Helena has the Ath-
letic club fully organized, the boating club
will be next i'll order, and should meet with
great favor among those devotees of the
sport who never expected to have an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the exhilarating sport
again.

Genius Unknown to Fame.

There is man who lives near Boston
and is hardly known by name outside Of
that district, though he did take turn at
politics once, who makes more money in
play writing than any other American
Howard, De Mile, Belasco, Greene, Gun
ter, DAILY, Marsden, Campbell, Gill-any of
them, except, possibly, Mr.. Hoyt, who is
likewise from Boston, but who is regarded
by some people as not a dramatic author,
says the Detroit Free Press. The
name of this successful author is
George NJ. Baker, and he has written sew
entynine plays, a single one of which sells
at the rate of 5000 copies year, and is
played 500 times in season. It is not
known that one of all these plays has been
enacted in theatre. They are intended
for amateurs, and require no stage setting
that the average village hall, lodge room,
Sunday school or parior is not provided
with; they tell fairly entertaining story in
a way that involves no great insight into
character and no difficult dressing on the
part of the performers, and in plot and
speech they are eminently moral. Temper
ance plays, plays for women only, q. A. r.
dramas, woman's rights plays. and all other
demands Of the minor drama are supplied
by him. The dramatic instinct is not con-
fined to cities or to patrons of city theatres.
There is scarcely hamlet so small in all
the land that some time in its history it has
not had a dramatic club or something SINH
lar thereto, and it is for this very large, if
not very important, part of the Thespian
domain that Mr.. Baker labors.

character in sin. But not SO, when properly
understood. No one can be saved through
the cross without 80 repenting of
sin. that as he laws his burden of
guilt on Christ. he feels that he would have
to be holy. There is false sentimentalism
that hugs sin and the cross. but trne be-
lever would leave his old nature buried at
the cross, and rise with new nature to
new life. This the gospel provides for, and
the true remission of sin is followed by the
gift of the Holy Ghost to create anew the
ness of life. There is thus a resurrect ion
from spiritual death into spiritual life.

Prof. Greve's ladies' orchestra. Those
present, however, were quite liberal in their
applause, which was well-earned by the

was attempted, the numbers were all melo-

selections were heartily encored. Miss
Ella Greve rendered some pleasing piccalo
solos.
Miss Adele Greve played the first violin
and welded the baton, in both of which
capacities she was very capable. Should
the troupe reappear at any time on a week
night they would be greeted by much
larger house. Helena people go to church

At st, Peters Church.

Confirmation Sunday, the first Sunday
after Easter. was observed yesterday with
appropriate services at ST. Peters church.
On Easter Day the church was filled with
flowers, natures tribute mute and beanti-
full to the risen Christ. Yesterday that
church was filled again with the church,
offering to its Great Head Forty-nine per
sons were presented to the bishop to receive
that solemn rite, and the sight was indeed
an Impressive one, to see those of all ages
boys and girls just entering their teens,
men and matrons OF the meridian of life
some well advanced in years-and not only
those of our own race, but Chi
nese and negroes as we'll, all
kneeling before the bishop, there to
renew the VOWS made in earlier life.
The bishop preached from the text, eff
will that he tarry till come, what is that
to theeb Follow thou me-" and from these
words of our Saviour he drew the lesson of
individual responsibility i'll the great ques-
tions Of life, and in his address to those
Just confirmed he urged them to be true to
the vows they had taken and not bring con-
tempt upon the church of which they were
now part by inconsistent lives
The music, under direction of Miss Shi-
land, was very appropriate and pleasing,
rendered by double quartette and orches-
ira.
Taken in all the whole service is one
which all witnessed will long remember.

Valuable Dogs Poisoned.

The dog poisoner is abroad, and if he is
discovered by the Kennel club he will re-
ceive the treatment he deserves. A few
days ago E. G. Babcock's fine greyhound,
Dandy" was poisoned, and Saturday no
less than five valuable thoroughbred dogs
died from the same cause. Mr.. McHaffie's
fine thoroughbred Scotch terrier died; also,
Mr.. Paynter's, and John Worth had close
call from losing his prize dog. Some of
them have been poisoned in the yards of
their owners. It is suggested to the man
who is DESTROYS of killing one particular
dog that he take pistol and do SO, but not
throw poisoned meat around where any dog
is liable to eat it. Mr.. Babcock, who is a
a great dog fancier, wrote yesterday for a
dog to replace the lost one.

A SPIRITUAL RESURRECTION.
Synopsis of DIR. Raleigh's Easter Sermon
at st. Pauls

A Synopsis of DIR. Raleigh's Easter Sermon
at st. Paul's.
We give below the substance of the SER
mon preached by Rev. A. ID. Raleigh, d, d..
at the St. Paurs Methodist Episcopal
church on the morning of Easter Sunday.
The illustrations are eliminated:
The text was from Romans vi, 4: "There.
fore, we are buried with Him by baptism
into death; that as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Fataer,
even so we also should walk in the newness
of life.''
This passage, SO full of impressive
thought. has been robbed of its Pauline sig
nlncance by some modern teachers and
made to do homage to "foreign foe"
through garbled quotation. How often
We hear 1t recited, Being buried with
Christ in baptism Yet not SO did Paul
write it. There is in this text no
illustration of the mode of baptism.
Christ himself was buried in cave. the
mode of which burial finds no likeness in
immersion. But the burial spoken of in
the text is not 'in," but by baptism: that
is baptism is the agent, the sexton by
whom we are buried with Christ into death.
Now. remembering the Scripture teaching,
that baptism is Il sign of faith, we have the
Thought presented that faith in Christ.
which finds Its public sign in baptism, in
ducts such believer into the death of
Christ. Jesus died for sinners, but only as
they believe III Him do they become per-
sonally the recipients of the atoning eff
cacy. When believe on Jesus Christ as
my Savior. accept his death as my atone
ment, as my price paid to Divine law and
Justice. 1t Is as though myself had died,
III that Christ died in my stead.
Jesus died and paid it all.
Yes all the debt owe.''
Therefore, by such faith as makes me n
Particlpator in the benefits of Christ's
death. l am buried with him into death.
Now, the logic of the Apostle is, that
there is no such burial with Christ without
also a resurrection, the burial being fol-
lowed by rising to walk in newness of life,
SO on this Easter Sunday l wish to talk
of this spiritual resurrection. This day
turns our thoughts i'll such direction.
These flowers about us are fragrant with
the precious thought. They blossom and
die, bnt leave behind for burial a seed
holding the flowers life in its grasp,
And from this seed another kindred flower
will spring. Where life is there is immor-
tally, but these flowers grow eloquent to
teach that life developes immortality only
In its power to triumph over death through
resurrection. We become participators in
the death of Christ, but if SO. we must also
be in his resurrection. 1t has been OBJ
jected to the doctrine of the Atonement.
that to forgive sins because of satisfaction
rendered by Christ in His death is to take
