PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Easter Sunday was fittingly observed
 at the Presbyterian church yesterday
 morning in sermon, song and decora-
 tions There was large congregation
 in attendance, the seating capacity of the building being taxed to it's utmost
 limit The choir music was all that could be desired. Haydns masterly an them, "Jubilante Deo," was superbly rendered, and Miss Sargent's sQlo, '~The Light of the World was beau- tfful. Her clear, sweet tones and del1 cate shadings Were indeed soul satis- flying.
 The sermon topic was "Ihe Riser One" The Rev. Mir McAfee chose for his text part of Matthew 28:6: He is not here; for He is risen as He said. The darkness of the grave and tomb is gone. and the glory of the Easter, the resurrection is here. As angels ! brought the glad tidings at the Christmas time of the birth of Jesus, so the angels first told the good news at Easter of the resurrection of our Lord.
 MT. McAfee told most vividly the story of the week preceding the resur- rection, the triunphs of Palm Sunday, and Christ's withdrawal to Bethany at the close of the day; on Monday cleansing the temple of those that bought and sold; Tuesday, sitting iE the midst of the people teaching them of the heavenly kingdom, but saying nothing of an earthly one that they were expecting Him to set up; Wednes- day, still doing nothing towards the ad- Vancomant of an earthly <jDgdCm that was to overthrow the Caesars; Thurs day, in the morning, at Bethany, in the afternoon eating the feast of the passover with the disciples in the upper / room, and in the evening in the agony of prayer in the garden of Gethsem- ane; on Friday the awful spectacle of the Son of God stretched out upon a cross, crucified between two thieves; Saturday, sC-row and broken hearts of

FIRST M. E. CHURCH

At the First M. E. church the decora-
 tions were especially beautiful and aG-
 tistically arranged. They consisted of
 roses and orange blossoms in great pro-
 fusion on a background of pepper and olive branches large cross Of pure
 white roses occupying the right Of the
 rOstrum. The music was appropriate
 and especially well rendered. The of fertory duet, Come Unto Me" by
 Mrs Embree and MT. Basset, was beau tifufly rendered and captivated every one.
 The pastor, the Rev. E. D. McCreary, spoke from Third Philippians, tenth verse: That I may know Him, and the power Of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His Death These are the words of Paul, and the aim of his life was to know Christ-to know Him personally. We may attain to this knowledge, for He has prom ised to reveal Himself to us. That Paul found Him we know from his own mouth later. as he says, For know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day"
 The power Paul sought he found in a risen Christ. This is a live world and must have a live Christ. A church not preaching a living Christ becomes a withered branch. The strongest power in the physical world is love. The power of life and love in Christ made Him conQuerer over death and the grave. The test of fellowship is our willingness to share the sorrows Ot others. It is easy to share in Easter joy, but hard to share in the sorrow, in the fellowship of His suffering"
 The pastor spoke of Paul, sharing in His sufferings, how he never once finched, but endured to the end, as he says. That 1 might know the fei- lOwship of His sufferings.'' Christ's death was not the paying of his debt to nature, but His death was voluntary | was for others. Are we willing to give | up our lives to help others to know | Him?

DE MUNDS DEFEATED.
Outplayed by the Tempe Club iI inc
 Game Sunday.

The DeMund ball nine met defeat at the hands of the unscphisticated base ball veterans of the vernaI districts of Tempe yesterday. Naturally the spectators were favorable to the south sideTs, but there were a number of De- Mund rCoters from Phoenix at the game. It was not necessary to com plete the game, the score being 8 to 6 at the end of the first half of the last inning. The game, as every one re- marked at it's conclusion, was an eX- ceptioEally good one and the Phoenix boys understand thoroughly that they were outplayed. The umpire, J. Ev- ans, was absolutely impartial in his decisions and met with favor from both sides. This was the first game of a series of three and the DeMund az gregation claim that the result will be different at the end of the series
 For the Tempe nine, Collins tossed to Wrennels, while Worth for De Munds, caught Jones fer six innings, and Friedler for the remaining innings. John Stelzreide was the only player who succeeded in making a home run. Friedler distinguished himself in the first inning by phenomenal fly catch and he displayed a good whip in returning almost on a straight line che ball from the field. Harry Hart was the scorer
 Following is the score by innings: Tempe ..... .....1 1 1 1 1 0 -S

MODERN JEFFERSONIANISM.

Perhaps ex-Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio was right in his suggestion that it was a mistake to invite MT. Bryan to a Jeffersonian banquet; but if he had gone a step farther and insisted on the impertinency of assuming to get up Jefferson dinner under Tammany auspices he would have been everlast- ingly right Bryan and Croker are equally repugnant to the fellowship of true democrats One is a shilling phrasemaker who talks socialism and calls it democracy, and the other sof- did machine whipper-in and boss whose sole reputation rests upon his ability as professional spoilsmonger.-Phiia- delphia Record.

WEYLER's STAMPING GROUND.

 Weyler's Plan Was All Right.

From the hotel La Florida Ha- vana, under date of March 15, Captain c. G. Cruickshank writes the San Mar cial, CN. M.) Bee as follows:
 "As I promised, I will write you some of my ideas in regard to cur new territory. l do not know just what to call it; the Spanish here hope it is ours, and some of the Cubans do, but most of them want us to get out. As you all know by this time, they deposed Gomez and now they are in peck of trouble They evidently thought they could raise the s3,00O,0OO a few points. Well, the city is full of parties parading, some cry for Gomez and some do not, but just now he seems to have che most with him, for they are afraid of losing that S3,OOO,0OO.

CAPITOL WORK
Contractor Lowell Will Bring Things
 fO Focus Today.

Work will either be begun on the
 foundation of the capitol building to-
 day O. it will not. In the latter case Contractor Lowell will take back the sub-contract from RynersOn and Barnes and put such Phoenix men to work as really want to work. As many more as are needed will be brought II from Texas. The contractor has now lost a week on account of the strike. He was, however, in no great hurry and pre- ferred to let events work themselves cut in order that the charge of bring ing outside laborers might not ba made against him. Having exercised a req sOnable patience he will now proceed with operations according to the most convenient methods. Nine hours will constitute a days work and the pres ent strike will not be held in consid- eration
 A force of men to be engaged on the exterior stone work will arrive the lat ter part of the week and will be sent out to the granite quarry MT. Lowell returned on Saturday night from the tufa quarry, bringing several samples Cf the stone. The stone taken from beneath the surface is soft and chall,y. but hardens on exposure until it be- comes like granite. Among the sam pies was piece which he had broken from a corner of a step which had been in use twenty-five years. It was very little worn. The change it has under gone with respect to hardening is shown by the fact that several nails had been driven into it when it was put in place. It is now absolutely im- nCSSihlp tn cNtrac thonn

A HOME MARKET
Exporters Troubled by Surprisingly
 High Prices.

George H. Johnson, a wealthy busi-
 ness man of New York, arrived at the
 Ford yesterday en route to southern
 California, whence he will return
 home At the time he left New York
 less than week ago, the principal
 shippers of that place were viewing
 with considerable alarm the rising
 prices in the markets.
 ''It would seem strange" said MT.
 Johnson, that a rise in prices due to an increase Of prosperity, should cause
 alarm among business men. That is
 Q fact, however, and it results from the fact that shipments abroad will suffer seriously by English and German in vasion, if the prices continue to in crease. I hariy think the increase will continue to any great length, but if it does. the big exporters will have req son to complain. They are already losing some large orders for steel pipe, for the reason that their prices are just a little too high to cOmpete with the English exporters.
 The high price on steel is general, embracing nearly all steel products A strong cause for apprehension lies in the fact that the American thread of steel pipe differs from most foreign threads The South American coun- tries were becoming familiar with American threads, but il the present condition continues, they will again learn to use the other threads and it will be a difficult matter to get them back again.
 Yet the steel market will not suffer alone. Cotton goods, especially the -l,1, they are being undersold at present. Because contracts were made last sea son which are being filled now, there is no noticeable depression in the cotton producing districts, but this will not last long. Before very long the mark cts will be affected. The mills are ask ing a price at which exporters will not buy, preferring to purchase even the inferior article of England and Ger many The mill owners are confident nevertheless, and will not come down from their figures. Other lines of eX- ports aTe holding their own in foreign markets, but the dealers are realizing very small profits. They do not offer higher quotations because they expect to be able soon to export with larger profit, and they would rather lose money than lose their customers. If he values continue to appreciate they will be forced to make higher quota ions and possibly. lose a large volume If trade. The furniture exporters are about the only ones who maintain their prices and realize good profit. They Ire not only doing that but what is surprising, they are actually their trade as if there was 10 competition with foreign countries.
 No I don't mean to say that the business men generally are kemoaning he fact of high prices. It is certainly healthful outcome and very bene- icial. However, l might reason ad- rersely from the stand point of the id quotation by adding that it is a sood wind which blows no ill. Too much interior commercial prosperity is the exporters. They are very ,opeful and 1 should like to see the ;roblem of exporting solved without lepreciating the value of goods in any inc"

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. :

w W. McNeT of the Central school in recent years one hears many obJec- tiOnS to the amount of "bOCk learning which a pupil should receive. In this city it requires a pupil twelve years to graduate from the high school. l don't believe that is too great. period. but there is one objection 1 have to the grammar grades. That is too much study at home. I believe pupil should have little, if any, studying to do after a days work at school. It deprives him of any chance for original thought, and to gCod advantage he might spend Q little time each day ac- qUainting himself with current topics.
 
 Will H. Pinney: Base ball ought 70 be very popular in Phoenix this sum mer and if the proper interest is shown a number of good games can be ar ranged The Fort Grant team is anxious to arrange a game here at once and a little later, Congress, Pres colt, Jerome Tucson, Tombstone and other cities will want to have a go with the Phoenix boys. 1 hope to see arrangements made so that a series of games will 'be played here.

 Judge c. w. Grouse: The Alma school will run about five weeks yet. A number of pupils have had to drop out the last two weeks owing to farm work. but the attendance is still good and the term will continue till about May for the benefit of the primary pupils. Yes, sir, the south side looks like a garden these days. Alfalfa has bsen in bloom for a week and the first cutting will begin about April 1O Wonderful, isn't it? Think of cutting hay by the 10th Of April. l know one almond orchard on the south side where the almonds look as large and perfect now as when they are ready to be picked. Everything looks prosper ous and the farmers are prosperous, too.

TUCSON'S WATER POWER.
Proposed Development of the Waters
 of the Santa Cruz.

Iessrs. Anderson and McKenna, two gentlemen recently from southern Cal ifornia, are here in Tucson for the pur- pose of organizing a company to estah lish and maintain a permanent water power plant. The plan seems to be a feasible one, and it is to be hoped that these gentlemen can bring the project to a successful conclusion. Their plan will be to take the water of the river at some favorable point south of the city and conduct it along the higher ground until it will reach ? sufficient elevation and then drop tha water down upon the Pelton or other wheels and thus create the desired power. It is q well known fact that only the lowest flow of water during the entire season can be counted on for practical power, and while the flow in the river at it's lowest is not all that could be desired it is believed that sew eral hundred miners inches can be added to the flow Dy a series of chan nels and crOss-cuts above the point where the water is to be taken from the river bed If this can be dCne it will give ample water to make a powerful plant, and that. of course, means cheaper power for all users of that commodity. It is proposed to enlist local capital only in the project, and whatever benefits may accrue will be to the advantage of our home people. We hope it will be pushed to a finish Tucson Star

 And Sunday, in the morning. very early, came the women, who were the last at the cross, and now after heart breaking Sabbath, the first a the grave. bearing ointment and spices fer the body of their Lord. But alas even this poor consolation is denied them- The body is gone, the tomb is empty. "IIe is not herei" But the gladness that followed-when stopping down they behold the angel, and receive his message, ''He is not here. for He is risen as He said.''
 And then to Mary Magdalene as she stood weeping, came the Lord himself with His question and His answer. and then in the old tone he speaks to her Mary" The angel has indeed rolled away the stone and her Lord has risen.

 And then He shows himself tO the other women, then to the disciples at Emmaus, and later to the eleven in the upper room in Jerusalem.
 And as the angel at Bethlehem said, "Peacei" so now at this greater birth OI CHI1SI, u6 COI1OS MlIu Il6 SstlLe SetI utation, Peace"
 How differently He was met by the different people. Peter with his heart full of remOrse fer his sins, Mary with her troubles, and Thomas with his doubts.
 This Easter Sunday is very much like the old one. There are hearts to- day like Peters, hearts full of darkness yet, and the joys of Easter meaningless to them. The risen Savior is not their Savior. God grant that this may not always be so, but that the glory and brightness of this Easter time may penetrate all hearts and all lands, and the knowledge of Jesus go to the ends of the earth
 The church decorations were elab- crate and beautiful, a bank of green. against which callas and roses stCCd | out in striking contrast.

BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the Baptist church the Rev. Lewis Halsey preached from a text found in the Song of Solomon, 2:12: 'Tbe flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing birds is come.'
 Some of the fairest gems of thought are found in this neglected book of the bible In the chapter from which the text is taken we find the beautiful words, Until the day break and the shadows flee away" The Song of Sol omon, otherwise known as the song of songs, or book of canticles, is an ale gory, representing the love of Christ for His church. Christ is the Rose Of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. The flowers and the birds may teach us many lessOns-among them those which we used to learn so thoroughly and to review so often that our Father cares for us and will feed us God law ishes His Floral treasures upon the desert. Full many a flower is born to blush unseen" but not unseen by the angels. So many Christian lives seem to waste their sweetness, but Gods purpose will some time be seen in all His works. Christians are not only the salt, but also the sweetness of the world-give to the world not only it's light, but also it's beauty Here in Arizona we do not have the sharp con. trast between winter and summer which is noted in northern lands: vet as was the case in Palestine where the climate is like our own. we lCng for the coming of the spring-time and thc blooming of the roses.

 And we need more music-in our city, in our homes and in our lives U is great mistake to suppose that Christians are not lovers of music be- cause they do not go to band concerts on Sunday. They cannot be true men and prefer their own sensual pleasure to Gods worship. They want the music to be given at time when they can enjoy it. Let us prize God-given music, cherish rather than slay the birds, grow flowers, learn to love and trust our heavenly Father, and So make
