"Eiqht Bells"

Flight Bells will be presented at the Jefferson theatre next Friday and Sat urday and Saturday matinee.
 In Flight Bells the Brothers Byrne have an excellent medium for the display of their peculiar talents. Improved in many ways, and with the introduction of much new business, this odd mixture of pantomime gymnastics. comedy and spe- cialty pretends to no higher mission than that of making a merry performance. Dating from the opening sceEe to the drop of the curtain, there Is not a mo- ment in which some of the numerous cast are not occupied in rendering matters pleasant for the audience.
 The matinee vii be bargain day af- fair.

LIGHTNING STRUCK THE
 HOUSE OF R. C GRANT

Lightning struck the residence of R. c. Grant, 26ol Avenue D, yesterday evening, and damaged the building to some extent, although the twenty people inside were not injured. Their escape seemed noth- ing short of miraculous. as the chimney which was thrown down fell in the sitting room in which the entire party was gath one present.

The lightning, strange to say, failed to set the house on fire, while several of Mir. Grants friends were shocked by the lightning, none of them were dazed more than a few seconds
 Birthstone smelled strongly around the house for some time after the lightning struck it, and rain beat in freely through the roof.

 No condition of war ever called for loyalty and devotion to country more loudly than conditions that arise in these times of peace. It is reasonably certain that if this great country should fail of it's ideal destiny, such failure will not be from foreign foe. but rather from con- ditions internal that will be fastened upon us by the indifference of our citizenship to their sacred duties

EASTER MUSIC IS
 BEING REHEARSED
GOUNoD'S THIRD SOLEMN MASS WILL BE SUNG AT ST. PAUL'S. FATHER kERRIGAN FILLED THE PULPIT YESTERDAY.

The three masses at St Paul's church were attended by large congregations yes terday. At the services at 10:30 o'clock the Rev Father Kerrigan delivered the second of his lectures in the series on the ceremonies of the mass. While these dis courses show scholarly research they are in the best sense popular and are at once instructive and edifying.
 The choir sang Cams mass. The so- prano solos were artistically rendered by Miss Van Merkestyn, and Miss Nolan de- livered with sweet effect the alto solo in the Agnus Del. Miss Ethel Black sang with feeling an Ave Maria for the offer tory.
 After the services the choir remained and rehearsed Gounod's third solemn mass which is to be sung on Easter Sunday. There have been many rehearsals of this splendid work and it will be given with unusually fine finish. The Easter choir will number about thirty voices.
 At the church of Our Lady of Sorrows the Rev. Father Meurer preached at the 10 o'clock mass. His sermon was on the miracle of Christ feeding the multitude.
 The choir sang Peters mass, and 1t is now practicing sewigs mass. which will be sung here for the first time on Easter Sunday
