THE EASTER SERVICES.
All of the Churches Celebrate the Day
Appropriately.

All of the Churches Celebrate the Day
Appropriately.
Easter morning dawned bright and
beautiful and the people of Kenosha
a7aiIed themselves thereof to attend
the several places of worship One
could hardly refrain from attending
some one of the several churches if he
would for it was known that most of
them had made especial efforts in the
floral decorations.
st. Matthews church was filled to the
doors in the morning and decorations
of the altar and chancel were very
beautiful. The music was especially
selected for the occasion and this pOr-
ton of the service was very fine. Rev.
Harry Thompson was assisted by Rev.
Mr.. Van Ingen relative, of our fellow
citizen H. S. Van Ingen III read
ing the service.
Rev. Mr.. Rogers preached to a large
audience in the Congregational church
which too had been beautifully hung
with flowers and decorations suited to
the place and the occasion. The music
was especially good and was rendered
by a quartette composed Of Mrs. A. B.
Curtis, Miss Head and Messrs. Mailer
and Newman with Mrs. Hollister at the
organ. The Easter offering at this
church amounted to more than 500.
At the NJ E. church the Rev. G. E.
Goldthorp preached to large audience
one of his thoughtful aud always i'm
pressive sermons. This church too had
been neatly and handsomely arranged
and decorated with elegant flowers and
the effect was especially gratifying to
all the large congregation.
At the Baptist church Rev. E. p.
Lipscomb preached to large congre
cation q very excellent sermon.
In all these churches there was
service especially appropriate to the
Sunday school children, with attractive
program exceedingly we'll rendered.
At the German Lutheran church
Rev. Mr.. Dornfeldt preached to a good
congregation an appropriate sermon
and the music was unusually fine.
Both St. James and St. Georges
catholic churches were very largely at
tended at all the various services and
the music at both churches is said to
have been very beautiful. The floral
decorations at these churches were very
elaborate and beautiful, no expense or
pains having been spared in this re-
gard.

lions with the president are very close
The object of this has been to secure
the recognition 10y this government of
she belligerency of the Cubans Since
Spain is not very popular at Washing
ton just now, one need not be much
surprised to hear of the granting of the
sought for recognition.

THE democrats of Wisconsin will
soon be obliged to have roll call to
find out where they stand on the money
question. They have always consid-
cred themselves sound money men and
the party platforms have been drawn
with that idea in view. From the re-
cent utterances of a number of promin-
ent democrats who want more 46 cent
silver dollars by declaring for unlimited
silver coinage at the rate of 16 to lit
is evident that number of them do
not really know where they are at.
There is wide gulf forming between
them and their president.

IN the circuit court at Los Angeles,
Cal, q decision has just been handed
down convicting minister of the Cos
pei for libelOus utteranceS made in the
pulpit. In his prayer this ministe
prayed for the future welfare of ayoung
lady, who was q librarian in the public
library, and who had admitted to him
shat she had read certain books in the
library which the aforesaid divine con-
sidered immoral. By implication in his
prayer he said that she must of necessi-
ty be immoral because she had read
what he considered immoral books
Tnis the young lady resented and in
st.tuted a suit for libel, of which the
court found him guilty. 1t is evident
from this decision that the court finds
that there is no difference between an
Individual uttering libelous state
ment in any public place and manner
and a newspaper publishing things
derogatory to private individuals
They are both held accountable 70,
what they say and if injury to character
is inAic ed must suffer the conse-
auences. If the law of libel becomes
more clearly defined and the lines are
drawn closer, one element which is now
aa important factor in politics will
soon be eliminated. If personal villifi-
cation of candidates will call for prose
eution and punishment much of the
present methods of campaigning will
he eliminated, as it should be.

THE report that Japan would insist
upon China's throwing open its entire
empire to foreign commerce has been
confirmed, and a brilliant piece of py-
rotechnic it has been for Europeans.
This flash has not only been sudden
one, but it has been q portentious one
in the light of the fact that there will

no less than 4OO,OOO,OOO people and

SUNSET.

Hast thou noticed the beautiful sunset?
Does it gladden. thy weary life:
Or does it depart unheeded
Midst the worry and sorrow and strife?
Are it's glorious splendOrs wasted
On thy life 'mOngst the busy thrOng,
AS toiling, grieving, struggling,
They pass the street along:
Dost thou notice the burst of grandeur
Bathing the buildings old,
In flood of heavenly color,
Purple and red and gold:
Falling on rich and sinful,
On poverty, hate and love,
Calling to mind the promise
OF a Radiancy above.
