An Unwritten Law from which Naval
Oaicers Never Deviate.

The action Of Vice-Admiral Tryon In
refusing to leave the bridge Of the Vic
toria while there was chance, is be-
Inc compared by military men of this
city with the action Of Brigadier Cen
araI George A. Custer at the Big Horn
massacre. According to now generally
accepted facts an opportunity was Of
fered Custer by government lndiah
scout to cut his way out.
Custer refused the proffered Brula
blanket and headdress, and remained
to die with his men. Instances are
many in tic British navy Of captains
Of warships preferring to go down with
their ships in preference to OUTLYING
them. It IL an old practice in the Brit
ish navy. and one which practically
amounts to q, rule, that the cantain
who loses n war ship never obtains
second one. The belief among many
American officers is that Tryon rs
fully imbued with the seaman's idea OF
the duty of commander, and, kno lag
that hundreds of men were imprisoned
below decks calmly decided to go down
With the ship so long as a man aboard
had to die as a result Of carrying out
orders given by him during the ma
nelyering. At the United States Naval
academy a monument in the center of
the grounds stands today with the
name "Herndon" on its face. Herndon
was an American naval officer who be-
for. the civil war was engaged while
on furlough in the command of a mail
steamer plying between New York and
the West Indies The ship was lost in
the gulf stream off the Florida coast.
She carried a large number of passen-
gers at the time The majority of the
passengers Herndon saw safely placed
In the boats. The last boat waited Tor
Herndon to jump in. Instead of avail
ing himself Of the opportunity, Hern-
don ordered the boat to cast off. The
ship went down with Herndon, in his
naval uniform, standing alone and in
full view on the bridge.-New York

The celebration at ST. Patrick's church
surpassed all previous Easter services there.
The decorations OF the affairs and sanctuary
were all that artistic skill could make them,
and the scene presented, with the brilliant
illuminations and richly robed priests and
Rcolytas, was something not soon
20 be forgotten. Rev. P. II. Nc
MabOn celebrated the mass, with
Rev. r. O'Leary, 3. j., OF Macon as
deacon and Rev. William Quiulau, sub
deacon. Father O'Leary preached on the
resurrection of Christ and the fulfllmens
OF the prophecies in an instructive and in
terestlng manner. He Is one of the finest
pulpit orators in Georgia, and his sermon
was gem.
The music at st st. Patrick's was the
feature OF the celebration. Miss Walsh, the
organist, was assisted by Prof. Kline's full
orchestra, and the music was the fiaest ever
heard in the church. Farmers mass in B
was sung by choir under the direction Of
Prof. (. GalllmaTd, and the manner in
which it was rendered reflects credit upon
him as leader. Miss Marie Lamotte sang
EFT In Carnatus Est" exquisitely.
Miss Lamotte has u rich soprano voice, over
which she has magnificent control. Her
solo yesterday could not be surpassed She
is already in the front rank of Savaunah's
sweetest singers.
At 1850 O'clock last night Rosewig's
musical vespers, with orchestral accompani-
ment. were sung BY the choir as double
quartet.

Sacred Heart Church.

Easter was httingly celebrated at the
Sacred Heart church. The programme of
services, as published in yesterdays MORNING
NEWS, was more than carried out At the
first mass the spectacle of the sodalities
approaching holy communion was a very
pretty one, and the young men who com-
pose the Sodality Of ST. Aloysus naturally
feel proud, because theirs ID the only one in
the state which is named ia honor of the
great saint. The young ladies were imbued
with the spirit of the occasion, and were
happy because of the rejoicing
Of Mary. The high mass was celebrated IN
grandeur, the singing of the well-rehearsed
choir being second to none in the city. MIR.
Julian Walker, who opened the 'Kyrie
Ellison" with a solo, the singing of Mrs.
Barber and the solos Of Messrs Mcbride
and Deacy were the features
Father LeOdeger of st. Mary's College,
North Carolina, referred to the great feast
In three separate ways. First, that his death
on the cross on Good Friday was his life
and blood; second. his resurrection as our
sanctiticstion, and last, but not least, that
20 show the impression it has made on this
earth, there is nothing better to verify its
truth than the fact that millions sing HAL
lelujah." He closed with a tribute to Mary
Magdalen.
Nespers were sung at 8 o'clock, and for
the first time in this city Rosewig's new
musical yespers were sung to perfection
Mrs. BARRIERS "Tantum Ergo" with Mr..
Ed Common as aocompanist on the violin,
was fine.

st, Paul's Church.

st. Paurs Episcopal church was pref
tily decorated. The chancel was
filled with palms and flower wreaths,
and clusters of azaleas were
placed on either side Of the chance Beau
tiful bouquets OF roses adorned the altar,
and an exquisitelv formed floral cross stood
just underneath the pulpit.
The morning services were conducted by
the rector, Rev. J. J. Lenier, who preached
III his usual eloquent and forcible style. A
special feature OF this service was the music,
for which an elaborate Easter programme
was prepared. The choir is composed of
excellent voices, aud the good music at St.
Pants is universally praised.
Bishop Nelson administered confirmation
TO "A class Of eight last night. He based his
sermon on the idea Of life with and without
Christ, and drew beautiful comparison of
the two sides of the question, speaking of
the difference between the gloomy and
frigid appearance of the icy lakes of Maine
and the clear aud crystal beauty of those OF
| sunny Italy. The difference, he said, was
due to the sky above, which in one case was
cold and 10y In appearance. and in the other
was Of a deep aud pronounced cerulean
blue. The Skies he said, affected the color
and appearance of the lakes. The COM
parison was taken to represent life with
and without Christ. Two men might be
the same in life to all appearance, and yet
very different in real moral character, the
result of the motives which prompted tnem
10 action. These motives we're the result of
outward influences, which might be COM
pared sometimes to the 10y sky, and at
others to the clear blue heavens.
Bishop Nelson also addressed the GLASS 20
whom he had just administered confirma-
ton, speaking to them Of the solemnity of
the occasion, and of the courage and deter
mination with which they would have tc
meet the vicissitudes Of life, whether favor.
able or adverse.

Chrlst Church.

A large congregation assembled at Christ
church at the morning servics, many find =
ing room only in the aisles or in the vesti-
bule.
The floral decorations around the altar
and in the chancel were very beautiful.
Above the altar was a design bearing the
| words, He Is Risen,n while just above the
I ohancel railing hung a design In evergreeus
! bearing the words, THE Victory Is Won ."
| Wreaths of evergreeDs and floral de
| signs were wound about the railing OF
| the chsuce!, and on either side were large
! clusters Of RZaleas. just before the opening
| OF the chancel stood beautiful floral harp,
( formed of evergreens and roses, and in
/ front Of this was a floral cross. Palms ar
ranged to advantage here aud there gave an
/ appearance Of completeness TO the deoora-
/ lions.
Confirmation was administered by the
bishop to a very large class including both
children and adults. In addressing the class
in a brief talk, Bishop Nelson spoke Of the
solemnitY Of the occasion, and said they
should all be diliRent and persevering in
the continual warfare Of man, II they won
the victory for which they were striving.
The text Of his sermon was from Revela-
ton j., IS: 81 am be that liveth ana was
dead behold, am alive forevermore, amen,
and l have the keys OF hell and death" He
spoke OF Tue Oe&b as UelDg appropriate TO
the glorious Easter day, spoken as it was by
him who came forth from the tomb.
The time was, Bishop Nelson said, when
the main argument for the truth Of Christ
and his works was prophecy. The next ar
gument was the miracles wrought. the cul-
minating evidence of which was the miracle
of his own resurl ectioD. This, he said,
stood unique and alone without parallel
in all history. it was simple, marvellous,
divine He said the great evidence OF to-
day was neither of these, but the tests
which Christianity had stood for the past
1900 years This is the greatest argument
for the truth of Christ.
Easter he said, represented the resurrec-
tion Of Christ. which is the center of all
faith, the underlying basis Of all real philos-
ophy, and the substructure OF all human
life. lie said the rolling away Of the stone
WIS not necessary 90 the resurrection, but
was the symbol Of what Christ has done for
us. HE has shown us that we may enter
the grave where he has been without fear
or hesitation, and has taken from you the
fear Of death. AS you receive the sacra-
ment pray that he may fill you with
abundant strength, and thus your chief
delight may be found IN the presence Of the
Lord Jesus Christ"

The Lutheran Church.

For beautiful decorations and striking
Easter designs the Evangelical Lutheran
church led all others. The aroma of the
sweet flowers which filed sbe church made
one feel as if they were In a maguificent
garden, and the beautiful designs in
honor OF the resurrection implanted
a feeling of devotion which none
could resist. The chRncel was banked with
cedars, roses and plants, mammoth wreaths
interspersed with white roses and lilies
hung from the walls and crossed and crowns
decorated the windows. On the altar stood
a mammoth floral cross six feet high, be-
hind which was a canvas painting Of
Chrst's ascension into heaven, halo of
glory surrounding the head of the Savior.
The effect was strikingly pretty.
Rev. Mr.. Schaeffer conducted the services
and Rev. A. J. Bowers, formerly pastor Of
the church, spoke on the sacrifices of Christ
for the salvation of the world, showing
that by his glorious resurrection from the
dead man could rise above sin.
T2s musical programme was eXcelently
rendered with an orchestral accompani-
meat. The singing of Mrs. Outteu, Miss
WGde, Miss Muslin and Mrs. Drummond
was excellent and effective, as was also that
of ALessrs Resdick, Keilbach, McDouough,
Druinmond, W off and Butter. Seventy
seven persons were received into the church
-thirCE by confirmation and forty-three
by letter. The Offering of the congrega-
ton was over $400.

O'Clock was celebrated by Bishop Becker,
with Rev. w. A. Mccarthy as deacon, Rev.
John Mccarthy subdeaoon and Vicar
General Cafferty as master of ceremonies.
Thirty acolytes, dressed in red, blue and
cream soutaues under lace surplices, assisted
IN the mass, aud added to the grandeur of
the scene.
The rendition of Georza's first mass by
the choir under the dictatorship Of
Prof Hubner, with Prof. Mehrtens at the
organ, was among the best music ever
heard in the cathedral. Miss Nolan's EFT
In Carnatus Est" was magnificent. The
duet, "Domine Deus" by Mrs. Reilly and
Miss Nolan, was another feature worthy
of special mention. Mr.. Donovan's " Kyrie"
and "Qui Tolls" could not have been rem
dered in better style Mr.. Duggan's "Lsu-
damus' was fine solo.
Bishop Becker also celebrated the vesper
service at O'Clock. Roseigy's musical ves-
pers were sung by double quartet.

humanity and drew a comparison between
him and Charles Y. of Germany, who,
after ruling as king tor some years, laid
aside his crown, entered a convent and
dOune1 the robes of a monk The evidence

Of Christ's resurrection could be doubted
by no reasonable thinking man.

A BRIGHT EASTER DAY.
ALL SAVANNAH CELEBRATES THE
GREAT CHURCH FESTIVAL.

The Churches Crowded With Wor-
shippers and the Streets ThronEed
With People in Easter Costumes.

A brighter, gsyer or more perfect Easter
than Yesterday has never been seen in Sa-
vannah. The weather was 10 harmony
with the great festival. The sun seemed 70
shine brighter, balmy breeze tempered its
rays and the air appeared to have an in
spring happy effect upon everybody.
Easter is the church-going day of the
world and the greater part Of Savannah
went Yesterday. Every church in the city,
white and colored celebrated the festival,
and the sacred edihoes were thronRed to
their utmost capacity. Easter flowers
decked the puIpits, Easter music was sung
by the cloirs, Easter sermons we're
preached aud the congregations we're ar
rayed in Easter dresses and suits.
The streets Just before and after church
were thronged with richly dressed ladies
and escorts attired il light colored
suits and straw hats. But the greatest dis
play of Easter costumes came in the after
noon. IL seemed as If ell the people were
on dress parade. Bull street and Forsyth
park were an enhancing sight with pretty
ladies in exquisite costumes.
The services in the churches which
specially observed Easter were Of very
elaborate character, and the music was a
special feature.

Wesley Monumental.

Rev. DR.. bowman preached to large
congre cation at Wesley Monumental, an
elaborate programme having been prepared
for the religious celebration of Easter. The
interior OF the church, especially around
the pulpit. was handsomely decorated with
palms aud beautiful floral designs. The
musical programme was replete with beau
tiful and appropriate selections.
