Easter in Mineral Point.

Favorable weather and general in.
terest on the part OF the people made
Easter observance in this city un-
usually hearty and interesting. The
churches. of course were the center
of attraction, and each was prepared
with floral decorations and special
services to make glad the multitudes
that assembled to witness and par
ticipate.
Trinity Episcopal church had a
special attraction in the first appear
ance of vested choir of "a members,
recently organized and drilled for
this occasion. The large attendance,
and general commendation of this
new feature of church service in this
city must convince the promoters
that their labor is appreciated.
In the other churches special mu-
sic, and in the Sunday schools spec
ial exercises were enjoyed by the
several congregations that fiocked to
commemorate the resurrection of
the Worlds Redeener.
In the afternoon the knights
Templar held their Easter service at
the Temple. Local members assem-
bled and in full regalia marched to
the depot to receive those who came
by train from Platteville and Dar-
lington. From the depot to the
Temple they formed fine process
sion, over 40 Knights being in line.
Besides the Knights. about 100 people
came on the train. The prescribed
Easter service was conducted by the
Prelate, S. T.. Shepard, and an excel
lent address, edifying, ennobling and
interesting, wa given by Rev. Nj.
Chase. The best vocal talent of the
several churches was united in rem
dering the musical numbers, COM
pleting the beautiful and impress
sive exercises.
The audience room was packed
to its full capacity, and many were
unable to get inside. A lunch was
served by the local knights and Star
ladies after the services for the benz
efiit of brethren and friends from
out of town. The special train re-
turned to Platteville and Darling
ton at 6 p. m.
