A RRAuTIFuL EASTER DAY.

The Weather Smiled on the Great
Festival.
Yesterday was lovely Easter day. The
maximum temperature for the day was 7S0
and the minimum 540, the mean Temporal
ture being only Il below the normal.
At the time Of the closing observation
generally clear weather prevailed along the
immediate Middle and South Atlantic
coasts throughout Florida and the Gulf
states.
An area of low pressure Of considerable
intensity, apparently centers in Kansas and
extends eastward to the Ohio valley. This
depression is causing cloudiness in the Ohio
valley and Tennessee, Upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys and IN Western Ne
braska. A second "low" center5 off the
New England coast attended by partial
cloudiness in the lower lake region and gem
eral cloudiness along the North Atlantic
and New England coasts.
At the closing observation light rain was
falling at Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Indian
apolis and Omaha.
The forecast for Savannah and vicinity
Is; Showers; warmer.

THE NEW ISLE OF goPE ROAD.

The Work to Begin as Soon as the
Convicts Finish Casey Canal.
The proposed new road to Isle Of Hope,
surveyed by Typographical Engineer Bland
ford, shortens the distance between the
present travelled route and the resort nearly
2% miles from the corporate limits.
The new road will De 5 miles 225 feet in
length, while the old one is about so yards
less than miles. The saving III distance
and time to those who reside at Isle of Hope
and have to come here daily in vehicles will
be a matter Of considerable Importance.
The new route leaves the meridian road
at the southwest corner Of Seckville, and
with the exception Of very slight angle on
Capt. McGowan's place to avoid his orchard i,
proceeds in a direc line to the narrowest
crossing of the marsh between the main
land and Isle Of Hope. This angle does not
increase the length Of the line fifty yards.
From the west side of the marsh TO the old
Isle Of Hope depot the surveyed line makes
only one slight angle to avoid some houses.
Engineer Blandford says the new road can
be built with admirable grades, less than
are used even on many railroads in the
state without any heavy work. The cause
wey over the marsh will only require an
elevation above the surface in the highest
place Of SIS feet. The causeway across
Cuyler swamp will only be As feet above
the surface In tne nlRnest place, anu ueAIueT
of the three causeways will be long.
The deepest excavation will only be "a
feet In one point, the approach to Cuyler
swamp. The other cuts and fills will be
light but one or two exceeding little over
three feet. simple trestle bridge Of pal
metto piles about sixty feet Is all that Is re-
quired over Herb river, and that over the
Casey canal need not be more than thirty
feet.
A great advantage Of the new road will
be that the side bitches can be utilized to
drain the country Immediately along its
route into the main waterways.
The work of building the road will COM
mence as soon as the convicts can be taken
from the Casey canal, where they are now
at work. The road will also greatly shorten
the distances to Montgomery and Beaulieu
as we'll as Isle of Hope.

at the Lutheran Church.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church Of the
Ascension was beautifully decorated. An
arch of cedars stood at the entrance to the
ohancel from the floor to the osIliug. Half
way on the left pillar was cross of white
roses and opposite on the other pillar was
heart formed of the same flowers. In the
circle Of the arch ,entwined with moss and
ivy, were the words "He is Risen" in NAM
moth white letters. On the altar stood
m ammOth floral cross SIX feet high, over
which was an illuminated canvas picture
Of Christ, rising upward with outstretched
arms and a halo of glory around his head.
The effect was remarkably pretty. Around
the chancel rail moss and trailing viDes
were twined and inside flowers were banked
in profusion.
Rev. A. J. Bowers the pastor. conducted
the services, which were especially elaborate
on account OF the commemoration of the
joyous feast. Rev. MIR. Etting of North
Carolina preached an eloquent sermon on
the resurrection, aud at the conclusion of
the services communion was partaken Of by
large number OF people.
The music was special feature. The
choir rendered the programme in splendid
style. Better singing was never heard in
the Lutheran church.

st, Johns Church.

Never, on any past bright Easter morn,
has st. Johns church been more beautiful
TO the eye, its music moro pleasing to the
ear, or its sermon more helpful and inspiring
TO the SOUL than yesterday.
The loving baud of woman wrought flow
ers and greens into a harmonious mass that
almost buried the altar, the chancel rail, the
lectern and the fon-. Easter lilies we're there
in abundance, aud hundreds of roses aud
sprays of wlstaria and honeyBuckle flooded
the church with their mingled delicate fra
GRANGE. Crosses. harps and wreaths of vic
tory stood out conspicuous symbols of the
events on which Christendom has had its at
tention concentrated for the past forty
days. In the corners and on the steps
pottod ferns and palms spread their bread
leaves, adding greatly TO the artistic effect
1t was the most protuse display that ST.
Johns, church noted in this respect, has
ever had; the expressions of admiration
we're numerous and well deserved.
The musical programme from process
SIGNAL TO ofertory was superbly rendered.
Dir. Cuyler Gordon sang for the first
time in the new choir, aud many
who have never heard him were
delightfully."- surprised at the sweetness of
his voice as displayed In Christ is Risen
Today All Of Che others were in fine
voice, and as the severa, numbers had been
carefully rebearsed, there could be but one
result, and that eminently satisfactory to
both singers and congregation.
The sermon was in Mr.. Strong's best style
"a clear, eloquent expounding of the foun-
daions Of the faith Of the Christian in the
resurrection Of the dead and the immor-
talitv Of the soul. Nature shows that the
raising OF the dead into a new and ever
lasting life is poss BILE; reason demonstrates
that it is possible, and affection convinces
that it is necessary. His words were like a
stream of hope and comfort, dIspelling I'M
easness, removing doubt strengthening
hope, Illuminating the struggle of life with
the spiritual consciousness that at the
end when tbs angel Azrael throws wide the
portals Of death he will in reality but open
ihe golden gates Of paradise TO admit the
christian 60 an eternity of joy.
AS usual the congregation filed the pews
and overlooked into the aisles. Many who
came late, and who did not care to stand.
were compelled to 20 elsewhere.
st. Johns church win hold an election for
vestrymen this afternoon from l O'clock
until 3. Oae or two of the old vestry have
declined to allow their names to be used this
year and it will be necessary to elect their
successors The other vestrymen will be
continued In Office.

Of several months. Her body was brought to

The death of Mrs. Rrough is peculiarly

Easter Monday preparations for her funeral
from the same church would be being made.
The deceased lady had many friends here.

a brighter and gsyer Easter than that OF
yesterday has never been seen in Savannah.
The day itself was in harmony with the
great festival. All that the weather bureau
: said 1t would be was true.
The world goes to church on Easter and
good part of Savannah went yesterday.
The churches were thronged as they have
never been before on Easter Sunday. There
was hardly church that did not in some
way celebrate the festival The pulpits
were decked with Easter flowers,
the chors saug Easter music, the
pastors preached Easter sermons and
the congregations wore Easter dresses and
suits. The streets just before and after
church hours were thronged with gayly
dressed people. Ladies in rich dresses and
Hower-decked bonnets and men in light
suits and straw hats were everywhere.
The services in all Of the churches that
specially observed Easter were more elab-
crate than they have been IN former years.
The music was a special feature.

FIVE YEARS AGO AND NOW.
a Contrast IN the Appearance ofSavan
nah's Streets and SQUARES.

Contrast In the Appearance fSavan.
nah's Streets and Squares.
1t Is TO some extent difficult to contrast
the appearance Of many of SavannahSs
streets now with their appearance half a
dozen years ago. Bull, Broughton, Con-
gress, Liberty, jefferson, Jones, CASTOR.
Hall land number Of other streets were then
unpsved and were little more than sand
beds.
The squares through which the streets
pass We're surrounded by unsightly ratings
and tumble-down fences. The SQUARES
themselves were lily cared for. and were
dlstgured by the unsightIy old pumps al
ways surrounded by mud puddles. The
grass plats were goat pastures wherever
tnere was any grass. The change has been
going on 80 continually that unless their at
tention is called to it many people do not
stop to think how the streets looked six or
even five, years ago, whel the improvement
OF Tie streets and squares began.
Now the principal thoroughfares are
paved, the ratings have been re-
moved from around the squares, the old
pumps have almost been forgotten, the
goats have been driven out aud the grass
plats are cared for. Since the pavement of
Bull and Liberty and the cross streets
further south, property owners have taken
an luteTeS1, ana many OF Cnem pride, IN
the care of the grass plats on the sides Of
the streets In front of their residences.
Grass, and in some instances flowers, have
been planted. The plats have been surrounded
by light wire railings and are kept watered.
They thus add greatly to the appearance
not only of the streets but the appearance
and value of the residences as well.
In front Of and alongside of number of
Bull street residences the grass plats have
been improved since the asphalt pavement
has been laid. The same thing Is being done
on Jones, CASTOR aud Hall streets.
There is a demand for a stricter
enforcement of the ordinance pro-
hibiting the crossing Of the plats and the
trampling of the grass in the squares Care
less people and others who haYe no regard
for the beauty of the squares and pats
tramp across them when they do not think
there is any danger of being caught by the
police and mar the work which has perhaps
taken weeks to do. A few arrests and an
intiicuion OF the penalty would have a
wholesome effect.
With a corresponding improvement to
that Of the last few years during the next
half dozen years Savannah will be, as 1t is
fast becoming, the handsomsst city in the
country.

positions for church service in the whole
/ field Of music. The ofFertory is always a
/ special feature of the musical service at
Christ church on Easter day. The selection
| yesterday Yves the time-honored bass solo:
"The Trumpet Shall Sound for the
| Messiah" by Handel. The solo was sung
| by Mr.. Julian Walker, the theme was
appropriate to the spirit Of toe day, but the
declamatory style OF the music was not
suited to lyric voice such as Mr.. Walkers.
Rev. Robb White, the rector read as the
lesson the account of the meeting by the
women Of the angel at the sepulcher of
Christ, who declared unto them that Christ
had risen. After the prayers Mr.. White
preached q sermon from the first two verses
Of the one hundred and third psalm: BLESS
the Lord, o, my soul. and all that is within
me. bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, .,
my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
He commented upon the peculiar appro-
priateness Of this psalm as the subject Of
an Easter discourse. 1t seemed, he said, as
il David were celebrating an
Easter morning In oil tho
glednessiof his soul. He contrasted the re-
joicing Of David with the sorrow Of the dis
ciples Of Christ on that Easter morning,
nearly 1000 years ago, when they sadly and
despondently made their way TO the tomb
Of Christ, and their great joy on discovering
that he had returned TO life. From this he
proceeded to a discussion OF the remission of
sins accomplished through Jesus Christ, and
the restoration Of the world TO Gods favor
through Jesus Christ. He cited the tribute
of the great Napoleon to the power OF the
influence of Christ, which had maintained
and increased its strength for more than
800 years.
The holy communion was administered
after the services.
Several announcements were made by
the rector as follows:
There will be services at the church
this morning at 10 O'Clock, after which
there will be no more services during the
week.
Bishop Nelson will visit tie diocese on the
coming Sunday for the purpose OF confirm
ing those who have signitied their desire for
confirmation.
The annual election of vestrymen and
wardens will be held in the basement Of the
church between 10 and o'clock to-day.
The vestrymen will meet at the church at 8
O'Clock to elect delegates to the diocesan
convention.
