ITS 1851 ANNIVERSARY.
Celebrated by Christ Church Sunday
School With Interesting Exercises.

School With Interesting Exercises.
The one hundred and sixty-f1rst an
niversary of the Sunday school Of
Christ Church was celebrated yester-
day afternoon at o'clock the Sunday
schools of st. MichaePs and st. An
drew's participating The participants
numbered 100 scholars, Is teachers and
5 officers of Christ Church Sunday
school; los scholars and IA teachers
and officers from st. Michaels, and so
scholars and five teachers and Off
GERS from St. Andrews.
The schools were formed in the large
room beneath the church, whence,
singing the professional, christian
Volunteers" they marched, with BAN
ners flying, to the church, where many
had gathered for the exercises.
An address to the schools was de-
livered by Rev. NJ. Campbell Stryker,
assistant rector of Christ Church, af-
ter which the banners of the various
classes were carried forward and ar
tistically grouped, about the chancel.

Duffy Street Baptist.

The usual Easter celebration was
held at the Duffy Street Baptist Church
and at the morning service Rev. Robert
VanDeventer preached on 1.-THE Resur
rection' Hope"
1t was feared that Mr.. ,VanDeventer
would not reach the city in time to
preach at the morning service, but he
was greeted by a large congregation.
The church had been prettily dressed
for the occasion, and the special mu-
steal programme was carried out. The
pretty exercises of the Sunday-school
took place in the afternoon, and the
usual evening service was held with
special Easter music.
The sermon at the morning service
was eloquent and studied, full of whole
some thought for all, and Christians
in particular. The pastors text was
For which hopes sake, 1 am accused
of the Jews" Acts 26-7. Mr. Van De-
venter brought out clearly the hope
desire with expectation-of the Chris
tians, in the resurrection and made
practical applications of all truths pre-
sented. One of the most enjoyable
features of the day was the meeting
of the Bible school, and the visit of
the Sunday-school of the Bureau Mis-
sion of the church. The Mission School
met at the mission and marched in
body to the Duffy street school, about
sixty being in line. The mission is
barely two months old and is in a
flourishing condition, and its visit to
the mother school afforded much pleas
ure. The exercises were appropriate
to the day and those taking part with
same acquitted themselves with much
credit.
At the evening service an ordinance
especially appropriate to Easter was
administered, being that of Baptism,
and illustrating, as it does, the burial
and resurrection. Two candidates were
baptized at the close of the sermon.
Mr.. VanDeventer had for his text
at night, But rather rejoice, because
your names are written in heaven
Luke 1920. The speaker brought out
that it is the worlds way to rejoice
when successful, but Christ's way is
different. The worlds way is to boast
of good works and charities; Christ
way is to the contrary. The world S
way is an eye for an eye, tooth for
a tooth; while Christ's way is to love
vDuI. enemies"

NEWS FROM THE DIAMOND.
Y. VI. C. A. Ball Team to Have It's
First Practice This Week


The first practice of the candidates
for the Y NJ. C. A. ball team will be
held at Barnard and Thirty second
streets tomorrow afternoon. The boys
are anxious to get in shape so that
they may arrange a game with the
Orioles before that organization fin
ishes its spring practice here.
Most of the players of the Y. M. Z.
A, as well as those of the team just
organized by Mr.. ]. w. Virgins, are
in favor of forming a tri-club city
league for this season. The Y. NJ. Z.
A. will furnish one team, the nine or
ganized by Mr.. Virgins, and which
probably will play under the auspices
of the c. L: A, will be the second,
and an effort is now being made TO
get the Chatham Artillery to organize
the third team. 1t is understood that
the matter will be brought up to the
members of that organization tonight
after the usual military meeting.
The Charleston Y. NJ. c. A. has or
ganized a team that numbers among
its members some of the best players
of that city AS a number of contests
have taken place between teams from
that association and the local Y. M =.
A. it is thought not improbable that
a game, or series of games, can be
arranged also between the ball teams.

How Harmon Cohen Is Able to Iden-
tify Alleged AssaiIant.
Although Mr.. Harmon Cohen is pos
tive that the negro Albert Johnson
better known as Legs" was the man
he caught burglarizing the store of
Fred Blenjes, at Duffy and West Broad
streets, the prisoner protests his inno-
cence in a rather convincing manner.
Johnson says that he was asleep
when the burglary was committed
and that he was in bed when arrested
by the police. He was taken before
the butcher, who had been so badly
beaten, but was not identified, and
was released Mr.. Cohen says that
when he first saw johnson he wore
different suit from the one he had on
when he committed the burglary and
assault.
The butcher saw the negro Saturday
night in what he claims was the suit
worn when the assault was committed,
and Immediately recognized in Legs
his assailant. The negro Is we'll known
to the police and was at one time a
"hanger-on" at the place of Signora
Harris, a notorious negro woman. The
Harris woman was proprietresS or
dive near Laurel Grove Cemetery and
killed a man in the place. She was
convicted of manslaughter and is serv-
ing a term of twenty years in the peni-
tertiary.
AS far as is known, Legs" has never
been in any serious trouble before. He
is of the opinion that one of the sus-
