EASTER SUNDAY.
\ Pretty Day for FASHIONS Dis
play and Church GOers.

The Snow Hill milliners did not toll
fruitlessly last week tor the sweet be-
ings who desired to decorate themselves
with new Easter bonnets last Sunday.
Their work had fair show, for the
day was bright one and if the sun
itself had been in the millinery business
it couldn't have created a day much
more Respondent or more satisfactory
to the wearers of fine and radiant
things.
There was nothing TO mar the pros
pect save brisk breeze from the north
west, in which there fingered a relic of
the Arctic breath of March. But as
the sun got higher the red and silver
pencils of the towns thermometers tried
hard 10 write temperate" on the black
barred tablets and girls with particu-
larry pretty dress waists decided that
they really would feel quite comforta-
bic without wraps There were other
girls that didn't feel that way perhaps
that was because their wraps were finer
than their waists, or, as some mean
spirited sisters might have said, their
waists were not as fine rs their wraps.
Even on Easter Sunday ungentle
thoughts may lodge in pretty heads
under bright bonnets. Did yours?
Special Easter services were held
III the Episcopal, Presbyterian and
Methodist Episcopal Churches, all of
which had good congregations.
ALI. HALLows +. L. CHURCH.
This stately old, UNCOVERED edifice,
resounded with Joyous Easter anthems.
The organ pealed forth its anthem of
praise and thanksgiving, while singers,
inspired by the glorious festival trilled
in sweetest harmony the accompani-
ment. The chancel was deliberately
decorated with flowers. palms and potted
plants Rev. Mr.. Morgan preached a
powerful and most eloquent sermon
appropriate to the day. The congrega-
ton was quite large.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
was also beautifully decorated with
flowers and potted plants and the
special music was well rendered by the
choir. The feature OF the service was
the sermon by Rev. William Swan, the
beloved pastor Of this beautiful memo
rial edifce. Mr.. Swans sermon was
concerning the resurrection of Christ,
and as he portrayed the meeting of the
Redeemer of mankind with Peter, who
had denied Him, and showed to his
congregation how loving and forgiving
was their Saviour, many eyes were
dimmed with tears
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Rev. Mr. Coursey had a very large
congregation and gave his hearers a
splendid talk. This church was also
decorated with beautiful plants and
flowers. and the choir rendered some
especially good music. Mr.. Conrsey's
remarks sank deep into the hearts Of
his hearers aud filled them with glad
ness that Christ was and is their Re.
deemer. This was Mr.. Coursey's first
sermon since returning from Conference.

An lrngratcfuI Charge.

! About the meanest thing yet after
| all he has done and suffered, is the
accusation that Senator Chandler has
been deliberately at work to sell out
Reed that his Doodle illumination
against Mckinley was intended to pro-
clucc u reaction in favor Of the Ohio
man. and the convention cowardice
! last wees was the culminatiye Of tho
plot, proved again by his assertion in
his letter Of explanation that Reed is
a bimetalist.
Either this, they say, Or the New
Hampshire senator has utterly lost the
political skill and cunning with which
he has been credited so long, But
with all his faults, treachery has never
been a characteristic Of VIM. T..
Chandler and if he were capable of it
he is not such a fool as to adopt any
such round about method to accom-
plish it. Ho has said nothing about
doodle except what the howlcrs
know to be true and indeed the howl
has been Just about proportioned to
this know ledge, being loudest from
those nearest the inner circle Of NJ
kinley. who have all been very care
full, while denouncing Chandler, not to
explicitly and squarely deny his sta tc-
ments. Tho assertion about Reeds
being bimetalist may operate TO hurt
him in New England, but as Chandler
has for years been openly and avowed.
~ one, the assertion is natural enough
And who is there that has any right
to deny it, Reed himself has never |
said word, so far as we are aware, !
that would warrant Il denial and he
has said much, including his praises Of
the Sherman act, not as a compromise, !
but as a measure good of itself, that
tends TO justify the assertion. The
plant against Chandler figures down
to about this, that he has not helped
his candidate by following the favor
lie and traditional Republican policy
Of double dealing on this subjet. In
fact he never had any faculty at double
lealing.
