Tho nIinstrels Last Night.


George Wilson's Minstrels deserved q
much larger audience than they drew at
tho Academy last night. Since Wilson
was here in August his company has met
with misfortune, number Of them be-
ing on the sick roll and unable to appear.
Notwithstanding this fact their perform-
ance is vory .reditable one. George
Wilson is without a peer in tho minstrel
business.
He has tho happy faculty of max ,ng
people laugh as long as he is on the
stage. His singing last night WIS also
very entertaining. Charles Good ear,
Lon Hudson, George Gale, Dan @ linlan
and othcr members OF tho Company con-
tributed their share toward making tho
performance success.
The ncndescript trio, Welhy, Pearl
ana Keys, caught the house b5 their
athletic feats and the Caledonia hitch
and kick. This was one of the best
things in tho show. Next season Will

Correcting n Subordinate.

Some time ago section boss was sitting
idly by the station when Manager Tucker.
of the Maine Central railroad, stepped off
train and asked him if he needed more
help. When the boss replied in the mega
tive, Mr.. Tucker walked n little distance
along the track, picked up couple of
bricks and removed them to their proper
place. Every time have passed by here
for several weeks" he then remarked to
the boss, 81 have seen those two bricks ly-
ing there, and / thought because you left
them maybe you didn't have help enough"
With that he mounted the train again and
moved off, waving pleasant 'goodby"
to the section crew, who will never, no,
never. be caught in that way again-Ken-

Good Friday.

To-day Good Fridvy is sacred to the
Christian Church as concentrating the
last tragic scene in the life of Christ, his
crucifixion on the cross on Mount Cal
vary. The day has been kept as day
of mourning and special prayer from q
very early period, and is more generally
observed now than at any period in the
worlds history. In the early church it
was observed as day of rigid fast and
solemn and melancholy ceremonial. The
ancient ecclesiastical writers tell US that
when Christianity was first established
in the Roman Empire, Constantine, for
babe the holding of law courts, markets
and other public proceedings on that
day. In the Roman Catholic Church the
services of the day are very peculiar; in
stead of the ordinary Mass of the Pre-
sanctifed, the Sacred Host not being con-
secrated on Good Friday, but reserved
from the preceding day Save beautiful
floral decorations of the repository all else
is indicative of the final tragedy, and the
sombre hues of purple and black greet
the eve on every side. In both st. Mary's
X G. Church and ST. Anne's p. f.
Church, solemn and impressive services
were held.

Easter sunday.

Sunday is the joyous festival OF Eas
ter, and many of our people will cele-
brate 1t in one way or another. In near
ly all the churches appropriate music will
be rendered. There will be special and
somewhat elaborate observance of the
day in one or two of the churches. The
SabbathSchool children for several weeks
past have been busily preparing for their
part and practicing musical programmes.
1t is probable that most of the sermons
of the day will contain some reference TO
the fact that it commentaries the resur.
rection of Christ. A very pretty prac
tice now much in vogue is the sending of
cards of beautiful design TO friends and
acquaintances. There is fine assort-
ment of spring flowers just coming into
bloom. and the charming Bermuda lily.
which has come TO be known as the Eas-
ter lilly, is abundant. The windows and
Conservatives about the city are pro
fuselv adorned with this queenly flower,
and thus the hearts that combine the
love of the beautiful with the religious
sentiment that the flowers symbolic will
find abundant enjoyment as they gaze
upon the floral displays. If the day is
fine the Easter bonnet will shine with a
glory that even the rainbow in all its
pristine beauty approacheth not, and the
feminine heart will rejoice greatly there
at.
