Since the Sullivan dam broke and fish

go up and. with dough-ball for bait, pull

ASTRAY-ONE POET.


During the recent cold snap of Thurs
day and Friday all the sane people in the
city have attempted to be original in ex-
pressing their approval or disgust with the
change. Some kicked in a very disgruntled
and unbecoming manner, while others said
it was a welcome variation from the ex-
cessive heat. Only one genius, S far as IS
known, tried to express himself in poetic
effusion. and his effort has placed himself,
in the eyes of his friends, in the position of
a serious question whether or not he was
entirely in possession of his senses. He IS
still at large and under the close sur
veillance of the police and this is his
abortive effusion:
Who is dwindling, peaking, pining,
With the sun so brightly shining?
See it warm the balmy zephyrs at their
play!
o. this brisk and sparkling weather,
Puts our spirits all a-feather.
In proper though intoxicating way.
o, this cold is awful frigid-
Il has froze my system rigid;
l am cold enough TO drink caloric straight.
I viii leave this bleak and mean land
And fly to Africa or Greenland.
Where the temperature is milder, so they
state.
Cold the mercury in the meter
Cold my hands and cold my feet are;
Cold beneath the cotton lambs wool of
my boots.
For * is cold enough, 0. sister.
Ny fine Grecian nose TO blister
Right into its rudimentary Greek roots.

EASTER N THE CHURCHES
How the Resurrection Was Cele-
A a.g
brated In Wilmington.
SACRED EDIFICES FILLED
Elaborate Floral Decorations anu
Impressive Religious Services
the Order of the Day.-Anni'
yersaries Held.

Easter Sunday was celebrated IN AZ
the churches throughout the city OF Will
minyton Yesterday with befittinE and
solemn ceremonies usual on the OCCASION
of the anniversary OF the Resurrection.
In all of the edlfices of worship elabor-
ate floral decorations were noticeable
and the fragrance emanating from the
superb display OF Easter lilies, hyacinths
and other potted plants, was as pure as
the spotless character OF the Being whom
almost all gather on this occasion to
glorify.
The clergy OF every denomination in
the city preached appropriate sermons
during the morning and evening and In
many instances the anniversaries OF a
number Of Sunday Schools were cele-
brated
The day was not all that could be
desired, Tor brief showers kept many
from wearing new altires that they had
taken especial care to procure.
This was so with the genter sex in
particular and many disappointed
sweetheart retired last evening with the
knowledge that she had been unable to
appear IN the new costume with which
she would have delighted to gladen the
eyes Of her lover.
A thunder shower early yesterday al
ternoon also had the effect OF keeping
many from strolllng along the banks OF
Brandywine, Delaware avenue, WASH
ington street bridge and other popular
places in the city.
In the sacred houses OF worship, ho"-
ever, no signs were apparent OF any
wounded hearts over the showers, but
everything was solemn, the ending OF
Lent celebrated by elaborate religious
music and the ringing of the glorious
Easter bells.
During the day many offerings were
lifted for missionary and other purposes,
and the receipts from this source were
willingly contributed by the congrega
tions that taxed the churches to theil
utmost capacity.
At Old Swedes Church the boy choil
Of twenty voices chanted the anthems
for the first time, and the unique anC
ancient auditorium was superbly decor.
ated with flowers
The floral decorations were on more
elaborate and costly plan than eyer be
fore in the history of the city, and Easte
of 1893 with its impressive religious ser
vices will be remembered for generation
to come.

Owing to the cold spell OF last week
and the blizzard on last Tuesday, the
catch of shad for the week was not as
large as might have been expected had
the weather been more favorable. There
is one good feature however in connec-
ton with this and that is that it had the
tendency to advance the price of the
fish. From the beginning OF the season
the price has been phenominally low,
$25 being the hig CHEST price obtai ned
since the opening of shad fishing last
March.
