FINE EASTER MUSIC.
Day Was Fittingly Observed at
the Churches.

Unusually fine music marked the
programme of all the churches yester-
day in observing the Eastertide- Year
after year more attention has been
given to celebrating the Resurrection
Day with music. Yesterday this fact
was probably more marked than ever
before. In many instances the ser
mons were shortened into mere talks,
and the greater part of the two hours
usually devoted to the services were
given over entirely to musical num-
bers.
The most elaborate musical pro-
gramme in the city was given at the
First Presbyterian church last night
Among the mornings services the
First Methodist church devoted the
music. At Grace Cathedral and at the
Church of the Assumption extensive
musical auxilliaries to the rituals were
sung.
There was probably not a church IN
the city which did not have special
music in honor of Easter. In some the
programmes were of course not as
elaborate as others, but in all an ef-
fortsWaS made to give unusual express
sion to the spirit of the season
Yesterdays decorations were extra
ordinarily elaborate. Easter lilies were
abundant on the market, as well as
the amarilIas which has the same form
exactly as the lily, but is only different
in color. These two flowers Furnished
the bulk of the decorative material in
most of the houses of worship. Ferns
and cut flowers were used plentifuily.
The First Presbyterian. the First Con
gregational and the First Methodist
churches were the most deliberately
decorated. The Congregational chur II
would probably have received the prize
on this score. It's interior arrange
rnent lends itself better to decoration
than any church in the city.

read it off to the man at the other
end of the wire. Then he hung up the
phone and went on talking to his
father That day he accepted orders
for enough beer to float a. ship. Next
day and the third day the case was
the same. He made no explanations at
all. He simply wrote down every or
der for ale and beer that came over
the telephone.
By that time angry men were begin
ming to call in large numbers at the
office of the brewery They demand
ed why the goods they had ordered had
telephoned in his order and it had been
accepted. Investiga ton showed where
the trouble lay. At the suggestion of
the brewery the telephone company
would change the number of his tele-
phone, so that he would be no longer
troubled. But the old man, aided and
abetted by his son, said he had got
quite used to the number now ana
wouldn't have it changed for anything,
thank you.
In the end the brewery people were
forced to put in a new telephone. The
old man had his revenge.
The United States postal department
is seriously considering the adoption of
an ingenious machine which will save
a lot of labor in large business houses.
The machine in question is designed to
print postage stamps on envelopes and
other wrappers for mail matter. The
plan is that one of these machines shall
be rented to each business house which
has a sufficiently large mail to make it
w0Sth while. When the machine is in
stalled it will be set so that 1000 2 cent
stamps and no more may be printed
The business house using the machine
will pay for the thousand stamps in
advance. Attached TO the machine is
an indicator which shows at all times
just how many remain to be printed
before the machine must be reset When
the indicator shows that only a few
stamps remain to be printed the lessee
of the machine will call up the postofhce
on the telephone and ask that a stamp
machine inspector be sent over to reset
the machine and collect the pay for an
other thousand stamps.
The machine which was invented by
a western man, has been thoroughly
tested and found entirely practicable.
1t is declared to be a complete prOtec-
ton to the government, it being impos-
sible to print a single stamp without
leaving a record on the indicator.
The machine can be arranged to print
with great rapidity, and, as it does
away altogether with the wetting and
sticking ON of postage stamps, it would
save a great deal Of labor and time.
It might appear that by purchasing
stamped envelopes from the govern
