DALLAS, Tex April Is, 1892.
To the LIGHT:
Easter Sunday dawned bright aud
beautiful; and all would have been
lovely had IL not been for the dust
and high wind, the latter impeding
the progress of the lady pedestrians,
blowing away parasols and hats and
fairly lifting one along. We felt sor-
row tor the poor creatures with their
ungraceful trains. Pc let these trail
on the sidewalk while the wearer
tried TO hold fast to her parasol and
bat was to have it stepped upon and
perhaps torn off her. In order not to
be poverty pinched the ensuing year
1t is necessary to deck out in some
thing new on Easter. To insur
against this we treated ourself to a
new garb from the crown of our head
to the sole of our feet. 81 must have
something spank and bran new for
tomorrow, If it is only pair of gar
ters," we heard a girl say as we
passed on the street. 1t Is said
all of the churches were well
filed. The Episcopal and the
Catholic were beautifully deco
rated. We went to hear the Right
Reverend Bishop Alexander Garrett.
The church, as is ever the case, where
it is known Bishop Garrett is to
preach, was filed. We had standing
room only for long time. AS we
listened to this eloquent man, we
wanted to say, "Plesse stop and let
US take In what you are saying. You
are talking so fast and saying so much
that Is beautiful we are losing half"
When q small child in remote state
we recollect hearing this learned man
deliver lecture to class Of young
graduates. He was so at home in the
'.starry armament" In his talk, and
scared so high that our infantile self
was quite incapable of interpreting
his language. We remember we'll to
have wished we were grown then, In
order to more fully understand what
he was saying. We knew it was
beautiful, poetical language. We
thoughts rival the flowers that
decorated the chancel, in purity,
beauty and chastity.
A gentleman who CHANGED to be in
Dallas, one who has heard all of our
eloquent speakers, went to hear
Bishop Carrot. In pointof eloquence,
this gentleman says, he far out dis
tances any man he ever heard, In
fidel Bob among the number.
Rev. r. T. Hanks had scarcely
reached his new field of labor at
Abilene when ne received a telegram
calling him back to this place to
minister consolation to dying MEM
Der of the first church.
Rabbi Schul, former rabbi of Tenn
pie Emanuel, who got into trOu pie
here is again in trouble in Cincinnati,
Ohio. 1t is said he is in jail; on what
charges 1T Is not known.
Ii is not known yet who will sue
coed Mr. Sims as pastor of the First
Baptist church. The church here
as been so divided, and there has
been so much trouble, it Is
thought preacher out of the
state will be called. We pity |
the one who takes charge !
unless he tries to please one only: and
that one himself; for 80 sure as he |
tries to please his congregation, it |
will be like the old man, the boy and |
the ass.
The delegates who attended the Y.
M. G. A. convention which convened
here last Thursday, had q right good
time during their stay here
The Odd Fellows of Dallas, Lam |
caster, Garland, Richardson and De. |
soto, all In this county, have decided
to celebrate their 73d anniversary by
giving a basket picnic at Garland on
the 25th of this month. Hon. Barnett |

At q meating of the school board
evening, Prof. T. g Harris,
was reelected Superintendent City
schools.
A day or two ago it was stated that
Irene Russell had committed suicide |
by shooting herself through the
heart. She was found dead on the
banks of the Trinity. One Chas.,
Henry Is now charged with killing
her, the man was her lover, and the
police think they have clear case
against him. 1t is said, Henry shot
aud killed girl in public resort in
Denver, Col some eighteen months
ago, and was cleared of the crime
on the insanity dodge. Miss Jennie
Reynold' of Nashville, Tenn, q sis
ter of Irene Russell, was notified of
the latters death.
For more than week Frank Tisbb,
the colored janitor in Judge
Rras wells .court, has been absent.
The cause was not known till yester-
day morning, when his remains were
found under boarding house, corner
Ross avenue and Lamar street. 1t is
not known how long his body had
been there, but the conclusion is, he
had been dead for over q week. There
is no doubt of his being the victim OF
foul play.
