Easter Services.

Easter Sunday was appropriately
observed by the congregation OF
St. Stephens Evangelical Lutheran
church in the Methodist church, both
at morning and night services.
The church, while not elaborately,
was beautifully and tastefully deco
rated with pot plants and Gala lilies
ard we're arranged with pleasing and
charming effect.
Rev. J. G. Graichen, pastor of st.
Stephen, conducted the morning SER
vice and preached an impressive
and eloquent sermon, appropriate for
the solemnity of the occasion, to a
very large and appreciative congre-
cation. The communion was admin
istered to a large number of people.
In the afternoon, the Rev. ". D.
Quick, (the pastor, Rev. ". NJ.
Harden, being absent) of the Metho-
dist denomination, preached touch
ing and deeply interesting sermon
which was enjoyed by all his hearers.
At night, St. Stephens Sunday
school commemorated the resurrec-
ton of crucifed Savior with appro
pirate ceremonies, consisting Of
dcclamations, songs and an address
by the pastor. Those who declaimed
were Misses Marie Sawyer, Eloise
Hammer, Rosa NJ. Harman and a
class of 6 small children all of
whom performed their parts to the
delight of the large audience present.
Rev. J. G. Graichen, delivered an
impressive and instructive address
on the care and training OF children.
Would that every parent who heard
him take the lesson taught to heart
and we would then have many more
God loving people. The singing
was under the efficient care of Mrs.
z. B. Roof, who had carefully trained
the voices for the occasion. The
offerings for the day, to be used in
completing the new st. Stephens
church, amounted to $40 SO.
Appropriate Easter services were
held in the G.. II. E. church of which
the Rev. ". W. Barton, is the
pastor.
Night services were also held in the
A. NJ. Z church, at which the Rev.
A. Washington oficiated.

city to do SO, that is if he goes there
by railway. We will not get the

at the sametime, we are the losers by

can be supplied By the building Of

Grand Opera House.

Manager $. z. Poli of Polls Wonder land theater was an interested specta- tor at the Grand yesterday afternoon. and that he enjoyed the show could be seen from his frequent applause. MT. Poli is an experienced manager in the theatrical line and knows a good thing when he sees it and is not given to ap- plause when applause is not nerited. MT. Poli applauded frequently through out the performance, thereby attesting that the entire bill of specialties was good. Nestor and Bennett in their lat est illustrated songs are cutting a wide swarth, and their appearance with the dark horse, the beautiful changing pie lures and the sweet songs is the signal for a round of applause. Their reper- toire is extensive, and the introduce a new song at each performance.
 Montague and West carry off large slice of the plaudits and deserve all they get. Theirs is a musical comedy of the highest order and the cello solos by MT. West are revelations of the pos abilities of that king of instruments Mr. Welch told some new stories last night in that peculiar style of his and sang an original parody on a popular song. The Sisters Revere closed the performance with their bright up-to- date skit.
 For next week Manager Breed told a reporter that a great bill of attractions would be offered, introducing some world-famous stars who have recently entered the vaudeville business q am glad to see the ladies and children at the afternoon performances, he said Tt is nur aim to make these afternoon performances of especial interest tc them. You have no idea of the care necessary to be taken in these vaude- vile acts to eliminate expressions and movements that might be improper for young children to hear or witness. We have been lucky this week in securing attractions in which there was nothing objectionable. We will pursue this pol icy too My idea is that the vaudeville is the proper up-to-date method of en- tertainment, and vaudeville must be clean to be entertaining. Suggestive and racy shows may be all right in New York, but we don't want them and will not have them.'
