INTERESTING STORY
FROM THE HOTEL
REGISTERS
Where the Majority of Grand
Forks Visitors Come From
475 Guests Daily.

From what city in the the United
States hail the greatest number of
Grand Forks visitors?
You don't know? Well. make a
guess.
You say New York. The other man
says Chicago. Both wrong
st. Paul heads the list!
At least that is the story told by the
local hotel registers for a single week.
Grand Forks is something of mecca,
as is generally known, for the road
angels" and fully three to four hun
dred make this their lay-over point for
Sunday.
Out of total registration of 700 OUT
of-the-state guests for the first week
in April, 260 were from st. Paul and
the balance were distributed much in
the following ratio:
Minneapolis 1876; Chicago 80; New
York 90; st. Louis 5S; Duluth 40;
Philadelphia 80; Cincinnati %; Wash
ington IS; Detroit 70; Cleveland 8;
Omaha q; Kansas City g.; Seattle s.;
San Francisco 8; Los angles 1.
Day Clerk Peake at the Hotel Da-
cotah states that many of the registra-
lions made from Chicago and New
York are by parties representing
houses In small eastern towns, who
aftix New York or Chicago In order to
lend a little tone to their prestige.
The frequency of registers from St.
Paul and Minneapolis is explained by
the statement that many New York
and Chicago houses have representa-
tives who make their headquarters in
the Twin Cities, and it is matter of
town pride that prompts these gentle-
men to register from the city in which
they make their headquarters.
Regarding hotel registrations within
this state Fargo leads, Larimore is Sec
ond, Minot and Devils, Lake about
even and Hillsboro' fourth, vieing,
however. with Grafton for the honor.
In the main the state visitors come
to Grand Forks for the purpose of
transacting business with the whole
sale and retail merchants, though dur
ing the past month many politicians
and lawyers have been entertained in
Grand Forks hotels.

Miss Freda Alger of Fargo college.
whose subject was "A TRANSFORMS
ton" spoke very nicely and was en-.
titled to high place among the
speakers.
Prof. w. w. George of the Fargo
college conservatory of music, rem
dered fine bass solo and Prof. E. A.
Boehmer of the conservatory gave a
fine piano solo. both Of which were
highly appreciated.
The selections furnished by the A.
c. orchestra under the direction of
DR.. c. 8. Putnam. were pleasing to
the audience. The concluding seleO-
ton was the march dedicated to
President Worst of the A. c., and was
listened to with good deal of inter-
est.
After the exercises were concluded
and the decision of the judges was
announced about eighty students and
friends assembled at Prizes hall,
where they enjoyed an elegant ban
quet. About dozen students OF the
state university and Wesley college
were present from Grand Forks and
President O'Connor of the Western
League of OratOry was also a guest.
Owing to the failure of Mr.. Husband
who won the university Oratorical
contest. to get his grafton before the
committee in time, he was unable to
compete last night. Messrs. G. r
Vowles of Fargo college and C. L
Guinness Of the A. c.. who had charge
OF the contest, performed their duties
with credit to themselves and the
league and deserve much credit for the
success of the contest. Mr.. Vowel in
president Of the league and Mr.. Gun
ness is secretary.
The winners in last evenings con-
test will represent North Dakota TN
the interstate collegiate contest with
South Dakota. at Mitchell, s. D.,
next June.

GOOD FRIDAY
STORY
Origin Of the Celebration and Some of
the Other Applications Which the
Day Observed in Many States
as Legal Holiday.


Special services of very solemn i'm
port were held in the Roman Catholic
and Protestant Episcopal churches of
Grand Forks today in honor of Good
Friday, or Holy Friday, as is the
ecclesiastical term. Holy Friday is
so-called. because it is the day upon
which the crucifxion of Our Beloved
Lord took place.
The Anglo-Saxons denominated the
day Long Friday. from the nrotract-
religious services which cha ractar-
lied 1t. The church .. ,inslund To-
CARDS the Gay us Che of the most
sacred o. the year and has appropriate
services provided for in tn" ,.;turrr.
The same is true of the Roman catholic
church. The church edifce itself is
denuded of all its ornaments as
sign of respect and contrition. "A pas
sion service is also held in addition
to the early morning masses. In most
countries the catholics observe the day
as q rigid fast-in some places a
single meal of bread and water is al
lowed-and the church services are
sad and mOurnful, regard being had
to the terrible incidents of the cruci-
fixi0n rather than to the benefits
which. as the church teaches, the
event has brought to mankind. The
altar is stripped of ornaments, the
sanctuary is bare, and the sacredotal
vestments are black. The Passion as
recorded by st. John is chanted and
then follows the alteration of the
Cross. which is kissed by the celebrant
and his assistants.
Good Friday is kept as legal holt
day in some states and In many parts
Of Europe.
