Defacing Property.

Mayor Simpson, like all his prede-
cessors, often has his attention called to
the acts of mischievous boys, who, while
on their way to and from school, mark
houses and fences and occasionally de-
face stone doorsteps by cracking or chip
ping pieces from them. His honor has
requested the public school teachers to
admonish the offenders, while this item
is regarded as a sufficient reminder to
parents to warn their youngsters and as
far as possible deter them from thought
less acts of vandalism. The mayor has
determined to enforce the law should
moral suasion prove futile, and to this
end the police will be directed to secure
the names of those who persist in the
practice of defacing property and the
penalty Give dollars will be exacted in
each case.

A colored man from Washington,
whose name could not be learned, came
here yesterday and when he left he was
minus his watch and abont SO in money.
He was at the Fayette street depot early
in the night in an absolutely helpless
condition, and, according to his story,
somebody had given him knock out drop;
although he talked nationally, but was SUI,
fering from locomotOr ataxia. He tolC
bystanders that a cOlored man had doped
and robbed him. Some of the colored
element believed the Washingtonian was

one of his pockets, and he managed to
find between thirty and forty cents.
Later he was placed on train and sent

Easter Sunday.

The weather yesterday, while ap-
parently uncertain, was in the main
fair and springlike, and in no way
marred the anticipations Of any one.
The anniversary of the resurrection was
celebrated in keeping with former oc-
casions, and throughout the day the
streets were thronged with people.
From fashion standpoint Easter marks
the beginning of spring, and, therefore,
from a mere human consideration 1t
also becomes marked with special dis
tinction as the index to the coming
gladness of the springtime and summer.
Spring suits, dresses, hats and bonnets
were in evidence, and both young and
old seemed exultant and cheerful under
the balmy meteorological conditions.
With glad hosannas Easter Sunday was
celebrated in all the Christian churches
ofthe city. No matter in what the creeds
generally differ concerning other matters
on the one point Easter is the
greatest festival of the year as it marks
the contamination of the Divine scheme
of Redemption. The day stands as the
anniversary of the Resurrection of
Christ,s symbolical of mans release
from the bondage of eternal despair
and the opening for him of the portals
of the heaven of hope and happiness.
All the churches were well attended.
Services appropriate to the occasion
were conducted in an impressive man.
ner. while the Easter music, always an
interesting feature, was superb, the
various programmes published last
week being rendered with fine effect.
In many of the churches there were
beautiful displays of flowers. The
Sunday school celebrations were
elaborate and large congregations were
drawn to the different places of worship
to witness the enjoyment of the little
ones as they participated in the annual
Easter exercises. Many strangers were
in the city during the day. When the
day had closed and darkness had set in
rain began to fall, accompanied by
some thunder and lightning. The night
services in the churches were not well
attended in consequence.

Easter Monday.

The rain of last night, the easterly
wind and uncomfortably cool weather
cast a damper upon the hopes of the
little ones, who had anticipated outings
and egg-rolling today. As usual, the
public and private schools were closed
and full encouragement had been given
for Easter enjoyments. The ground,
however, was too damp for romping and
the heavens where cloudy and uncertain.
Most of the little ones, therefore, were
compelled to remain indoors and use
carpets instead of swardS upon which to
gambol and roll dyed eggs.

ChamberIain's Cough Remedy

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perma-
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in Pneumonia. 1t is
also certain cure for Group. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this rem
edy is given. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to baby as to an
adult. It is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken
into consideration it is not surprising
that people in foreign lands, as we'll as
at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to take
any other after having once used it.

Cause of Lock.jaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is enactiye so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is ex-
eluded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be destroyed
and all danger of lockjaw avoided by
applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm

Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes
