EASTER.

throughout Chistendom Easter Is hailed
md celebrated as the queen OF Feasts'
However It got its name. 1t Is forever
Identified with the rising Of Jesus CHRIST
from the dead. And II stands In It's place
while the earth remains and seedtime anu
harvest. summer and winter come ana CO.
% testify to all generations the resurrec-
ion OF the Lord Of Life and His triumph
,yer the king Of terrors. And its procla-
nation to mankind is Death hath no
more dominion over you. Now IS CHRIST
risen from the dead and become the nrst
,rujis of them that slept With that an
,ouncement we commit our treasures TO
the earth. looking for the general resurrec-
ion at the last day and the life or the
world TO come.
Death. unexplained and in its terror
G the blight and doom Of life. we can ho'
look in its face and count life worth living
The horrible but familiar fact Is oarA'
n fearful cloud that, like pail. blackens
and withers all our being; that makes JOY
10 pass for madness, and all sober thought
10 be funereal. The relief for unexplained
leath is, madness and despair oHueI II
IS only dimness OF the eyes and anguish
And such was the world before the Morn
Of Easter dawned first upon 1t ana the
clouds and shadows fled away. Life and
Immortality were then brought to light
and forever assured by that greatest OF
all events Of history-the resurrection OF
Christ
That great event was and is the worlds
day-sprlng. Without it all is chaos. and
darkness broods over the face of the deep.
Marvellous coincidence is it that the day
on which we commemorate the resurrec-
ton is the first day of the week. that on
which God said, Let there be light, and
there was light; on the holy Sabbath,
that tells of rest and peace and Heaven.
How wonderfully eloquent, how amazing
beautiful is yesterday. bright with
hopes sunshine, fragrant with the sweet
.st odors Of promise!

HE growing use of asphalt for street
pavements has stimulated inquiry as to
. the possible deposits Of the material in
this country so situated as to make it's
mining profitable. To-day almost all
that is used comes from abroad, much
of it from Trinidad, and some of it from
the mainland of South America, from
Syria, Germany, Switzerland and France.
Yet it is claimed be experts in the SER
vice of the Geological Survey that the
United States has the best quality and
the largest quantity Of asphalt to be
found in any country. The problem is
how to get 1T as cheaply, and this eco
nomic side of the question is to be inveS-
tigated by agents of the Geological Sur
vey. Asphalt deposits have been discov-
cred in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky,
California, Utah, Oklahoma, Montana,
Texas, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Ne
vada, Wyoming, Oregon and Washing
ton. Only four states make commercial
use Of their deposits Ken
lucky, Texas and Utah--and yet during
the past year these four states mined
over half as many tons of asphalt as
were imported. The native asphalt is
claimed by e. W. Parker of the GeoIogi-
Cal Survey to be superior for paving to
the imported article, as it contains more
gritty matter, and will, therefore, wear
longer and not be as slippery

1t requires frequent changes
of advertisements to get all of
the many lines we carry to
the notice of the public. You
have no idea Of the number
Of things we have for Christ
mas. We will tell you some
thing new each week. A lit
tie about the usefulness of 5
O'clock Teas will interest you
to-day. You must under
stand that these things are
not merely for ornament,
they may be put to good use
even when the lady of the
house is not dawdling over
her tea cups. 1t is no longer
fad, but in great measure,
an article Of necessity. One
of them may be used even by
the bachelor in making his
morning coffee or his punch.
Let us give you a recipe or
two: Take a half glass of
Scotch Whiskey, a glass of
boiling water, a lump of SUI
gar, some thin shavings of
lemon peel; stir we'll and
drink, if you like punch Of
this sort. If you have five
o'clock tea you will not have
to run to the kitchen to get
your hot water make it boil
in the kettle which you have
in your room. We can fur
nish you a little book con-
tanning thirty-three recipes
for dishes in which the 5
O'clock Tea Kettle may be
used in preparing. That is,
we furnish the books to pur-
chasers of the kettles which
we sell al, from $3.50 up; mar
velously low prices compared
with what you 'have been
paying. These teas are of the
best quality-the difference
in the price is the difference
in the ornamentation and
size.
IS To accommodate the
public our Store will be kept
open every night from now
until after the holidays. We
have to do this in order to
accommodate the public.

GOOD ON A COON HUNT,

THE mayor committed to jail
yesterday, to await trial in next
weeks Superior court, a young
negro man giving his name as
John Davis from Wilmington,
who during his passing through
this city is proved to have com
mitted several high-handed
thefts. He stole from the colored
boarding house where he slept
Saturday night a suit of clothes
and some money, and Sunday
about 1'clock he boldly entered
the front door of Mr.. W. H.
Higgins, while the family were
at dinner, and "'hooked" an over
coat off the rack. The cook saw
him in the act and made cutlery,
and MI Higgins and Mr.. w. E.
jenkins gave the negro chase the
full length of William street to
the Newbern railroad, and into
DIR. Kirby's farm, where he
sought refuge under the farm
house and was captured by them
and delivered over to the police
with results as above recorded.
It is now conceded that Messrs.
and Jenkins are pretty
good on a coon" hunt as we'll as
for birds.
