church Choirs Now Rehearsing Their Pro
grams for Easter.
Miss Alice Judson's Successful Debu
In PhiladclPhia-Other Matters
of Local Interest.

Most of the church choirs are preparing
for their Easter music. and additional re-
hearsals are being held. OF course, the
most elaborate programs will be in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches. and in
many of the former denomination an Or
chestra will add to the interest of the oc-
casion. At st. Patricks Church, where
lie Prevost's MeSse Solennelle will be sung
there will be large orchestra, and this
beautiful and melodious work will be given
under the direction of Prof. Mama. The
music at this church is a feature of the
services. and the prompt attack of the
large chorus shows the result of careful
rehearsal This choir has the distinction
of possessing the best tenor and the best
contralto of any in the city. The reputa-
tion of Mr. w D. Mcfarland and Mrs.
Mama are well known to all musicians.
Last Sunday Mrs. Maina sang Rossinis
Fac ub Portem" in the most artistic and
expressive manner.
Speaking of church choirs. an old and ex-
pefienced director said the other day that
The majority of people who sat in their
pews and listened TO the music little knew
of the trouble that the director had with

A REMARKABLE FIND.
Many Articles Hidden In the POlic
Court Sewer,

Many Articles Hidden In the Police
Court Sewer.
Some surprise was caused in police circles
Saturday. when plumbers at work on the
Police Court sewer found that discarded
weapons and other articles had choked the
sewer and rendered the digging up and
cleaning necessary. There has been more
trouble experienced at this building because
OF the condition of the plumbing than there
has at almost any other building occupied
by branch of the District government In
the sewer the plumber found a pistol, evi-
IDENTIFY toy pistol several penknives and
razors, and perhaps a dozen keys, such as
might be used by a burglar. There was
also parts of a watch and a silver chain,
as well as y cents in money. A case knife
ana part of one that had been ground
Gown to make murderous weapon, a cor
set steel and number of small articles,
such as outlaws would probably carry, were
also found.
No one attempts to conceal the fact that
tnese articles were thrown in the sewer for
the purpose Of destroying what might be
evidence against them. But that prisoners
snould have such articles upon them when
placed behind the bars is considered a re-
,,,sat nect,on 20 on IN members of the police depart
ment, for the manual provides:
Eacn person who may be locked I'D at
any station shall first be thoroughly
searched by the officer who brings him
AAA' oho al weapons ana articles OF property
or money found In his possession shall
De taken by the station keeper, who SHALL
make a detailed descriptive list of the
same, and II all or any part thereof be
not wanted as evidence In court such IS
may not be 50 required shall be returned
to the prisoner upon his discharge, taking
receipt therefor"
Had this rule been complied with in the
various police stations no such weapons
and other articles would have been found
In addition to these weapons and articles
supposed to be the proceeds OF crime, there
was bottle Of faudanun This, too had
been left on some prisoner when he was
sent from police station to the court.
There are some prisoners who use opiates
and others who express = desire to end
their lives when they get in trouble, but
the owner of this particular bottle had no
desire to do the latter. for he or she was
only too glad to get rid of 1t. as is shown
by the finding of 1t in the sewer. Some
Of the articles have been turned over to
the police by the plumber. as they may
play prominent part In some robbery, and
when the work of cleaning the sewer is
finished all the articles thus found will be
turned over. The finding of the articles
may lead to an Investigation by the police
officials, because of the alleged negligence
on the part Of the policemen in the various
precincts.

Correct Dress.

purists in dress insist that % mi.

For example, If the woman has a tailor
made gown he should be in tweeds on
afternoon dress. If she is in evening
dress, he should be also. And that an.
plies TO the theater or a public restau-
rant in the evening II woman has
tailor made gown and is dining in Il in
the evening, the man should not BE- IN
evening dress but should be IN after
noon dress In this connection writer
in Vogue says:
AT wedding where the bride is in a
travelling dress, as is sometimes the case
when she leaves the church to proceed
directly to train without an interven.
ing reception, the groom would wear a
dark travelling suit Of tweed. II she has
a reception gown lin other words, an
afternoon dress), he would wear a frock
coat, or if she has a bridal gown high
in the neck, as all bridal gowns are in
this country, he would wear a frock
coat If the wedding is in the evening,
he would wear an evening suit This is
the exact idea. Present custom, how
ever, has the bridegroom almost invarf
ably in a frock coat for any morning or
afternoon church wedding.

feet methods of producing enormous
frequencies and potentials." These
words of Mr.. Tesla contain a sugges-
ton, the full meaning of which has
lately been more thoroughly under
stood To produce something from
nothing has ever been a great human
problem, not always solvable- Here is
a great scientist pointing out a scien-
tific way of accomplishing the feat
The hidden meaning of the remark is
not hard to discern. His words would
seem to intimate that we have been
employing exceedingly crude methods
of light production; that in the lab
oratory of nature means and material
exist which may be procured and used
for the mere asking; that our proper
course would be to first see how light
is produced in nature, and then as
far as possible to go and do likewise.
The Harvesting of the ether means the
solution of many great secrets of the
universe, the utilization OF natural
light, the subtle transmission of speech
through miles of space, and the great
est triumph science has yet known.
