THE PRESIDENT IN CHURCH.
Beautiful Easter Services Conducted
by the Rev. DIR. Bristol.

Beautiful Easter Services Conducted
by the Rev. DR.. Bristol.
The services at the Metropolitan Church
were in accord with the beautiful ritual
of the Methodist Episcopal Church and
included the story of the resurrection OF
Christ. inspiring songs and eloquent words.
The service was attended by an immense
congregation. The asles and galleries
were crowded to overlooking and many
were compelled to stand. President McKin-
ley, accompanied by the Misses Hastings.
daughters of General Hastings, attended
the morning service and occupied the re-
served pew.
The sanctuary was beautifully decorated
with caila and Easter lilies and palms. and
in the pulpit with the pastor, Rev. Frank
NJ. Bristol, was Rev. DR.. Bieler. Vice
Chancellor of the American University.
who opened the service with prayer. The
sermon was by the pastor, who took his
text from Matthew vi, 2S Come see the
place where the Lord lay" The gospeI
lesson taken from John also told of the
resurrection reciting the incidents which
took place at the tomb of Christ on that
morning.
In developing his subject DR.. Bristol said
that the resurrection OF Christ to the
Christian world meant the springins OF life
out of death. Dr. Bristol told in beautiful
words of the appearance of Mary at the
tomb of Christ on the Easter morning, long
ages ago; of how her face bespoke despair
and how on being told by the angels who
kept guard that he whom she sought had
arisen her face frightened with the light
of hope. The Christian Church of today,
he said is to the world what the angel was
to Mary on the resurrection morn-the
means OF bringing US out of the darkness
! TO the light.
The resurrection was not a deception.
nor did the angels intend that it should be
clouded in doubt. for they asked Mary TO
come and see the place where Jesus had
lain. The significance of the empty tomb
meant all TO the Christian, being the proof
| OF the victory over death.
The music during the service was ex-
ceptionally fine and was rendered by the
regular choir OF the church. assisted by
Miss Mary L. Crook. violinist. The men,
bers of the choir are: Miss Elizabeth Wah-
ley. soprano; Miss Martha Z. Gray. con-
tralto; Mr.. Frank Clements, tenor; Mr..
Warren w. Rich, bass and leader; Prof

EASTER IN CHURCH PEws.
Splendid Floral Embellishments and
JoyfuI Music and Song.

The churches throughout the city were
gaily bedecked with blossoms yesterday in
honor of Easter. AS the weather on sat
urday was fine the members of the various
congregations had turned out in force to
help decorate their houses of worship for
the occasion Palms and Easter lie pre-
dominated in the decorations, although
flowers Of every description were us d.
In the Catholic churches the decorations
on some of the altars were greatly en-
hanced by the introduction of set pieces OF
electric lights. At st. Patrick's a crucifix
composed of small incsndescent bulbs was
suspended from the ceiling directly Above
the altar, and this, too. was lighted with
electric lights. Immense candelabra were
also used to beautify the affairs at all of
the churches OF this denomination. The
effect was splendid, and. together with the
special music, made the day one long to ba
remembered in the history OF the local
churches.
Many OF the Episcopal churches also used
electricity to heighten the beauty OF their
decorations. The theme of the sermon in
nearly every church was the same. All OF
the ministers discoursed with mo; or less
eloqrenee on the resurrection of Cnrist.
In most of the churches. however. The
musical feature of the days pro. q mme

The Caiholic and Episcopal services were
especially notable for the excellence oI
their music. a number of the churches

numbers sung by the choir. Max Minister

NEED SEVERE TREATMENT.
Tagallos and Malays Need to be Taught
Obedience.

MADRID. January pa general
who has lived some years in the Phil
ippines said to me in the lobby of the
COrtes today.
Americans are making two mistakes
in connection with the Philippine ques-
ton. First they are giving Aguinal-
do and his followers time to organize
their forces and propagate their idea
of independence among the Ma
lays; second, in attributing all impor-
lance of the archipelago to the island
of Luzon alone. If Americans Occupi-
ed other islands in an effective manner,
making it clear to the Tagallos that
their occupation is definite and perma-
nent, the moral effect on the Malays
would be very important, especially in
the case of half castles and rich plant
ers, who dread war.
Americans are mistaken if they
think that without driving the natives
back and giving them a severe lessor
they can get firm footing in Luzon
The Malay is a barbarian, obedient on
ly to impulses of fanaticism and feaI
of punishment.

when General Eagan was giving
his testimony at the court martial in
Washington his attorney asked him If
he had ever received any profit or any
benefit out of the large contracts he
let for army supplies. The general an
swered: No. on my honor and before
God, not one cent of profit did l ever
receive, and yet my office disbursed
millions of dollars, and / am now so
poor that | cannot even pay your fee
1T would seem from the foregoing
statement that General Eagan is al
most poverty stricken, or at least, he
desires that impression to go abroad.
There are men in this city who could
never be convinced that General Ea-
gan is a bankrupt His son, Charles
f.. Eagan, is reported to be quite
wealthy. He is treasurer Of the Olaa
Coffee Plantation Company, an enor-
mOuSlY wealthy corporation, owning
several thousand acres of fertile land
i'm the vicinity of Hilo, Hawaii. Young
Eagan is said to be one of the heaviest
owners of stock in the company.
"Rumor has it that General Eagau
| received 500, 900 not long ago from q
wealthy California bonanza king. The
general is said to have invested the
money in his wifes name in a coffee
plantation in Hawaii"
The above is from a late San Fran
| cisco Call. Young Charles Eagan ar
rived here about two years ago and
| invested in coffee lands twenty-one
and a half miles from HilO in the Olaa
| section. He bought 800 acres of land
and paid the total sum of $4,000 for it
| Since then perhaps an equal amount
| has been expended in improvements.
OF the land in his possession sixty
| acres has coffee under one year old
! fifty acres is between one and three
years of age and fifty acres more is o
| full bearing coffee over three years o
age. The estate is considered one o
the most valuable for its size in thu
Olaa coffee region.
Mr.. Eagan has always impressed tn
Honolulu people as being a man o
wealth. He is so regarded at Hilo ant
all over Hawaii. AS to the origin o
his fortune or the truth of the abov
report concerning it no one here knows

Fast Trip from Dawson City to Skag-
way.

SEATTLE, Wash, January 30.-All
records of ice travel on the Yukon have
been broken by the recent feat of the
mounted police of the Northwest Ter
ritOry in bringing a big shipment of
mail from Dawson to Skagway in nine
days and ten hours. The mail left
Dawson on the morning of January Is
and was in Skagway before noon last
Tuesday 1t is a remarkable record,
and the Canadian officials at Dawson
had an interesting object in view.
The United States mail contractors
also hold contracts to carry the Cana
dian mail, much to the disgust of GER
tain Canadians. Contractor Richard
son has been trying to make speed up
and down the river by using a relay of
dogs. He has not been making phe-
nomenal time. The authorities at Daw-
son decided to give him a record to
work up to, and incidentally show their
own government what it could do in
the way of speedy mail carrying. The
arrangements We're carefully made and
the mounted police along the river in
structed to be ready for a record
breaking trip. Only the best dogs were
used and the most experienced drivers.
