Easter Concert.

The programme prepared by
the Methodist Sunday School for
Easter Sunday was postponed on
account Of the heavy rain, until
last Sunday night. A large aud
fence assembled at the church,
all seats were occupied and many
persons stood during the service.
The church was decorated in ev-
ergreens and flowers. Two
shades of green were used, light
green garlands were draped in a
triange over the rostrum and
from there passed over the win
dows dropping in graceful forms
around the room. The dark
green was introduced in wreaths
under each arch was hung a dark
green wreath. TIE only colors
used were red and white. A,
dark green cross was suspended
in the triangle over the rostrum,
and on each side opposite the
arms of the cross were two tiny
wreaths of white Easter lilies,
below these two large wreaths
of crimson lilies. The entire
rostrum was decorated with pot
! plants and vases of cut flowers,
but the color scheme was carried
out here also, for only white cape
| iaasemines and oleanders were
used, with feathery light foliage.
The programme was success
in every respect. The children
took their parts we'll, and several
recitations were given which
were longer and more difficult
than any previously used in the
Easter programmes.
The songs were peculiarly
adapted to the occasion, and were
sung by the Sunday school pu
pills. The infant class sang onc
song, nine little girls holding
Easter Banners and all thu
others, even the closing anthem
were sung by the older pupils
assisted by the members of tn
Baptist Sunday school, ant
teachers of both schools.
At the close of the programm
Mr.. Davis, the singer who is TAX
ing charge of the music for tn
union meeting, sang beautifr
and appropriate solo, THE Out
stretched, Arms" This wa
both a pleasure and surprise t
; every one as it was not a part

the benediction which closed th
special service.

FIGHT OVER PANAMA.
House Committee Will Recommend
New Form of Government.

Washington, Dec. ga stubborn
fight Is predicted by we'll posted men
in Washington to occur during the
present session of congress and, pos
sibly extending into the entire session,
as result of the reported intention
of the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce to recommend
TO the house d new form of govern
ment for the Isthmian canal zone.
The zone is now governed by officials
more or less under the supervision of
the war department and the govern
ment is typically a military one. 1t
will be urged in opposition to this
movement that the conditions which
required military government at the
beginning of the construction or the
canal still require one and that there
nave been no controlling new elements.
The 10000 employees on the canal con-
struction constitute practically the en-
tire population on this little strip of
American territory and it is claimed
by some interested in the government
of the zone that it would be economy
of management to have but one juris-
diction over these employees. After the
canal is completed it is pointed out,
there will be plenty of time in which
to draft code of laws for the perma-
ment government of the zone, but not

DYCHE WITH ROOSEVELT.
X. L. Professor Would Love to Take
Trip and Care for Animal Skins.

Lawrence. Kan. Dec. 22.-"Presi-
dent Roosevelt single-handed can kill
enough game on his African trip to
supply three or four institutions with
big collections" said Prof. L. L.
Dyche of the Natural History depart
ment of the University of Kansas
when asked about the report that he
might join the presidents expedition.
III l went with the party, l should
not expect to do any hunting al all,
but would devote my time to caring
for the skins and skeletons of slain
game. The professor said he had not
known anything about the plan to Sc
cure an invitation for him to join
the expedition until he had read about
it in the papers. He admitted that it
would be a great chance to secure
valuable specimens for the university
museum.
to this movement. which he charac-
terizes as a bit of pleasantly on the
part of his friends. However. Prof.
Dyche does not conceal the fact that
he would be delighted to go. He is
natural born hunter and in the wilds
of Africa he would be happier than
any place on earth.
Prof. Dyche has his work here but
it is believed he could place it in the
hands of assistants and go if there
really was a call for him. The work
here is so systematized and so tame
that it does not appeal to a man or
Dyche g disposition.
"a hunting excursion is one thing,
and a collection expedition Is another
and entirely different proposition, =
continued Professor Dyche. ION a
collecting trip the hunting and killing
of game is the smallest item. once
the party has reached the country
where the game is to be found One
man in q single day can kill enough
game to keep a large party of men
busy for a week preserving the hides.
1.-The men who have charge of this
work will have to follow the president
up very closely. for In the hot climate
of Africa a hide will spoil unless it is
taken Immediately after the animal is
killed and every bit of flesh and fat
scraped from it The expedition will
have to carry a large supply of pre-
servatives salt, alum and arsenic, for
use on the spot where the game is
shot as the climatic conditions will
not admit of skins being transported
to some central depot for treat
ment-
THE process of rubbing preserva-
tives into the hides has to be re-
peated a number of times before the
curing is complete and so a pelt that
may form an insignificant item of the
days kill for the hunter often gives
employment for several days to the
man whose work it is to make the
hide fit for mounting. President
Roosevelt could probably keep twenty
skilled taxidermists busy all the time
if enough institutions should send
helpers along to take care of all the
valuable specimens he secures
Professor Dyche will read before
the Kansas Academy of Science in
Topeka next week paper on THE
Preservation of Mammal Skins" in
which he embodies the results of his
thirty-five years experience in that
work.
