NO LILIES AT ST. JOHNS.
General Verdict Was That Their Alb
sence Was BeneficfsI.

The Rev. E. L. Steddard. rector of st.
Johns Episcopal Church, this city, adj
here to his determination not to permit
any Easter lilies in the church. and yes
terday was the first Easter Sunday in the
history Of that church. or of any Episco-
pal church in Jersey City, when they did
not form the principal decoration. Thou
sands of persons attended the services at
st. Johns yesterday, and not one Of them
commented adversely on DR.. ~Stoddard's
action.
The church was beautifully decorated
despite the absence of the Easter lilies,
which DIR. Stoddard considers harmful.
1t was because the odor of the lilies
caused the members of the choir and the
congregation to become i'll that DR.. Stod-
dard tabooed them. 1t was conceded hat
the music his year was better h ever
before. The members of the choir lay it
to the fact that they were not stified with
the odor Of the lilies. 1t is said that other
ministers will follow DR.. Stoddard's ex-
ample and give up the lilies.

WHY THE CHOIR RESIGNED.
Bergen Reformed Church Can M
Lo nrer Afford Expensive Singers.

With one exception the members of the
choir of the Bergen Reformed Church in
Jersey City have resigned. Their resig-
nations and that of the organist, Louis
DressIer, will be considered at the annual
meeting of the church this evening. For
years the music at the Bergen Reformed
Church has been noted as being, with one
exception, the finest in the city. The
church has been crowded Sunday evenings
by crowds of persons of other denomina-
tons who have attended the services
simply to hear the excellent music fur
nished by the quartette choir. The news
that that choir is to go will come as a
surprise to hundreds of persons who have
enjoyed it's singing.
The choir consists of Miss Guthrie, So
prano; Miss Hauck, alto; Ethen Allen
Hunt, tenor, and w. F. BrowR bass. The
director and erganist is Mr.. Louis
Dressler. Mr.. Brown is the only one who
has not resigned. The designations will
take effect ON May /. The reason assigned
for the action Of the singers is that the
church found 1t necessary to cut it's ex-
penses and decided to do SO by reducing
the appropriation for music. Mr.. DRESSER
and the members of the choir were noti-
fed that on May / their salaries would
be considerably reduced. They had a
meeting at which the matter was dis
cused and they decided that they could
not stand the reduction. The trustees in
sisted upon cutting the salaries, so finally
after a great deal of parlying the resig-
nations were sent in.
Mr.. Dressler when spoken to on the
matter refused to say anything further
than that he had accepted another po-
sftion. He will become organist of the
Presbyterian Church in Englewood. The
Rev. DR.. Brett said of the designations
It is merely a question of economy.
For a long time we have maintained an
expensive choir and to doso we have had
to, go outside for the money. I don't
mean by that we ave had to go to those
outside of the church, but we have had to
raise the money outside the regular col
lections and you know that there comes
a limit to that. We have decided hat we
must have q cheaper choir. | don't feel
1T liberty to say how much of a reduc-
ton will be made, as I believe that that
Il a private matter. The arrangements
for the new choir are about complete, but
| cannot give you the names of the sign
ers until it is definitely settled who the
organist is to be. When the combination
is completed the names will be made pub
lie. The matter will probably be settled
at the annual meeting"

CHRIST HAS REALLY RISEN

81. mfch aetsa church.

The Rev. Father John W. Sheppard,
who was recently transferred from St.
Nicholas parish, Passaie. to the large and
important parish of st. Michael, oficiated
for Tire first time yesterday in his new
church, and delivered an eloquent sermon
to a large congregation, which filled the
commodious ediflce. Father Sheppard
said in part
Easter Day, commemorative of the
Resurrection Of Jesus Christ, is the CEN

as the refutation of the agnostic and the

HYMN BOOKS PAID FOR.
Rev. J.. l.. ScuddersH Congregation
Paws an Old Time Debt

At the First Congregational Church,
Bergen and Boyd avenue, yesterday morn
ing. the pastor, Mr.. Scudder. succeeded in
wiping out a debt of s147.5o, which had
been hanging over that church, or rather
the South Bergen Reformed Church, for
nearly five years
Mr.. Scudder said that the South Bergen
Reformed Church had bought a number
of hymn books which had never been paid
for. ssHe was tired" he said, "of having
a collector calling at his house for the
money, and he was determined to wipe
cut the debt, He told the congregation
at the morning service that he disllked
very much to ask them for the S147.5o, the
necessary amount, in addition to the
usual contribution on Easter, but he had
to as the debt should be paid, the sooner
the better.
The amount was collected in a very
short time, and Mr.. Scudder thanked the
congregation for SO quickly coming
to the church's aid

EASTER AT ST. JOHNS.
Exquisite Music and Handsome Dee
orations In Banor of the Day.

The first Easter Sunday in ST. Johns
new church was celebrated in a magnii-
cent manner Everything that the ritual
called for was in evidence and Father
Ter Woert looks back at it now az a
model for all future feasts. The main
altar. sid affairs and sanctuary were very
tastefully decorated with flowers of all
descriptions and candles. The general
effect was rich but not overdore, and re-
fleets great credit upon the Sisters of st.
Dominic, who had entire charge of that
part of the celebration. Beautiful palms
stood on pedestaIs in the aisles Of the
church and added to the ~splendpr. Around
the altar during the high mass fifty al
tar boys were grouped, and the rich red
of their cassocks, softened by the lace
and drapery of their SUPPLIES, heightened
the effect. Father Malloy was the cele-
brant at the high mass, the principal
event of the day, and Father Ter Woert
preached the sermon, during which he
briefly compared the past and present
Easter celebrations. Farmers mass was
sung by the choir in a very successful
manner. The solos were beautifully rem
dered and received the praise of Father
Ter Woert and the congregation after
the services. In the choir were Miss
Kelly, Mrs. Sinnott. Miss E. Eyre and
Mrs. Mcdonald, sopranos; Mrs. Jordan
and Miss Haskins, alto; Mr.. ]. Moran and
Mr.. P. H. 0'Brien, tenors; Mr.. Nobel,
Mr.. N. Walsh and Mr.. A. Eyre, basses.
Miss Adele LIE Maitre presided at the or
gan and fairly astonished those present
with the music which poured forth from
the grand instrument. She handled it
with consummate skill and artistic abil-
ity, bringing out all its fine points, to
the admiration of the congregation.

The Republican machine has sent

it assumes to set forth reasons why the
Republican ticket should be supported in
the coming election. The greater part of
the sheet is given up to rhetoric" All
the sreasons' are embodied in four lines

It is not necessary to Examine into the
truth OF these statements to answer
them. If they are all the Republican adj
ministration has to show for five years,
the Democratic party can show just as
much accomplished pro rata for the one
year of its encumbency.
The work of street paving has gone on
vigorously. Asphalt was laid at a much
lower price last year than ever before.
The repaving of Montgomery street in
truly up-to-date style has been well adj
vanced in spite of obstacles, such as the
collapse of the sewer, for which no adj
ministration could be held responsible.
Many miles of macadam, asphalt and
block have been laid in all parts of the
city, and several great street openings
like that of Monticello avenue, Summit
avenue and Jackson avenue have been
undertaken and advanced towards COM
pletion.
AGAINST the 1--WE new school buildings
spoken of above, may be well placed the

1T is rather unfortunate for the Span
iards that they a a double-barrelied
theory as TO the cause OF the Maine ex-
plosion. Their official report settles it
that the disaster was wholly internal.
while the Spanish Minister is quite sure
it was caused by the Cuban insurgents.
The two theories are hardly compatible
with each other any more than with the
certain facts of the case. When the truth
won't do it is always. best to choose one
lie and stick to it consistently.

ACCORDING to the estimates of Chief
Engineer Edlow w. Harrison, the cross
county branch of the Boulevard will cost
about s400, 600. It is a considerable sum
of money, but it will be a good investment
if it secures the integrity of Hudson
county. The great argument in favor OF
despoiling this county of its western sec
ton is that communication between the
townships and Newark is easy, while
roads leading to Jersey City are few and
poor. The creation of this splendid road
will put a quietus on that sort of talk. 1t
viii give the towns IN interest in the
county's improvements, and it will be an
artery along which settlement will no
doubt progress until there is a continuity
of building and habitation from the Pas
safe to the Hudson.
