EASTER SERVICES.
!. Special Services in . all the Churches
/. 's5..., ;.:ss . E Easter Sunday

:, The various churches in the city
were marked by unusually beautiful
services Easter Sunday: and each one
of the churches were crowded to over
flowing. There were a great many
strangers in the city and they were
out to attend the services. + !. =. : r
j. The Episcopal church was the scene
of one Of the most beautiful services
In the city, the music had been arrang-
ed under the direction Of Miss Whipple
was particularly good and the floral
offerings by members of the, congre-
cation. given as memorials to those
who have been members of the church
and are now dead were the most beaut
tiful ever seen In the church. Rev.
Johnson had as a subject for his ser
mon the text TN That He Died, He
Died Under Sin Once, In That He
Liveth, Liveth Unto God" which was
delivered In his usual able manner.
:. There were most beautiful services
held at the Catholic church and She
! affairs were handsomely decorated with
Easter lilies which were contributed
to the occasion by the members OF
the parish. Early Mass was held al
Y $3.50 in the morning and at 1880 sol
II emn High Mass was performed by the
.sR Rev. Augustine and he was assisted
by the Rev. Fathers Morris, Jerome
and O'Brien. There was also specia,
music and ON whole the services
were the most beautiful held by tha
church for some little time. j. ! y :
There were services at the Metho
dist church and at the Presbyterian
and each were largely attended ant
there was a. good gathering at th'

the ladies were thereafter obliged to
go around wearing their faces in
natural colors.
Miss Helen Thompson as Miss Col
umbia, was very sweet and danced
some very pretty dances for US.
Mrs. Mckee as a beautiful Polish
damsel-what can we say of her? Well,
she was just immense and so loyal
was she to her beloved Poland that
she never once forgot her nationality,
except once when she was beguiled
dnto acting as interlocutor in the min
strel show. Her Jewels were her chief
care and when about o'clock in the
morning her Saratoga containing the
precious jewelry fell from the head
Of the stairs to the bottom, her shrieks
were simply deafening.
But oh, how softly on the air at pre-
cisely 1887 a. m. comes a prancing
two-step on the piano, and can you
imagine anything more conductive to
i; quiet and restful slumbers than have
anyone kindly volunteer to wash your
+! face for you at exactly 4:12 a. m.
Oh, you, MRS. Volunteer" are really
nothing short of hero In our devoted
eyes, and we defy anyone to prove It
otherwise. And then how thoughtful
to have them rush frantically down to
the kitchen and have them come up
smi1ingly at 1928 a. NJ, bearing a
bright light and the coffee boiler and
begging you in all conscience to have
some. You don't dare to go to sleep
Of course" for how you'd feel bad to be
caught mapping and not be ready to
reciprocate such extravagant courtes.
les. But the night of peaceful slumber
came to an end at last as all such good
things do, after another delightful day
visiting and feasting on the good
things our hostess had prepared for US
we all drove to OR homes wishing all
days were house-party days, and ali
roads led to mwood Farm.

abolition political party was always a
mere handful of men; and never ac-
complished anything but talk" and
never would or could have accom-
plished anything as "Abolitionists."
Abraham Lincoln wasn't an Abolition
ist, and had it not been for the war
brought on by hotheaded southerners
to protect their vested rights" never
would have abolished slavery and
emancipated the slaves He did be-
lieve that the nation could not long
indure half slave and half free, and
that it would become all one or all
the other; but he never advocated the
abolition of slavery in the South.
The only inference to be drawn from
this statement is that Abraham Lincoln
expected and intended that the whole
United States should become slave terri
tory. History brands the idea as a false
hood. 1t is perfectly consistent with its
attitude of misrepresentation and retro
gression upon subjects of the present
day that the Register should seek to
falsify the history of the past.

A SURE SIGN

The Christian Standard of Cincin-
natl, one Of the most widely circulated
and influential religious papers in the
country, quotes some of the ''tirades
and diatribes" of the Louisville Courier
Journal against Prohibition, and says:
The editor of the Cowier-J omnal
gets beside himself whenever he
undertakes to write on the subject
of temperance, and the very idea of
Prohibition gives him bad case of
hydrophobia. Very few men, who
have had the support of the Courier
Journal have been elected in recent
years. It's advocacy is blight upon
any cause that it espouses. 1t is for
this reason, among others, that we
feel sure that Kentucky will soon
wheel into the column of Prohibition
states.

Confscation

From the Nashville TenneSsean.
There are two sides to this "conhsca-
ton argument. The whisky side is
but to hear the peoples side it is only
necessary to incline the ear to the cry
that comes from the home of the desert
ed wife and the wall of the hungry
child; the blasphemous shouts from the
dens of vice, the jibberings of idiocy,
the moan in the criminal cell, and the
prayer at the foot of the scaffo1d
If Prohibition means conhscation it
also means salvation. For years whis
kyism has confscated in this state. 1t
has done more than conhscate and de-
stroy manhood and womanhood, honor
and virtue, love- faith, hope and charity
1t has created its victims and shackled
its slaves to a vicious habit that rem
dered them powerless while it took
from them their wages, their earnings
and their homes, to say nothing of their
further ability to earn.
The houses of the whisky dealer are
built by conhscation of the property of
the helpless and every brick more or
less represents a despoiled home
If confscation means taking by force
without compensation" the people will
insist that the saloon is confiscating
when it takes the earnings Of a man
whom it has rendered incapable of re-
sisting.
The whisky interests cry of conhsca-
ton resembles the whine of some wild
beast when driven from its prey.

order TO procure a decree Of divorce
against her. Mrs Frieda Finder fled

Highly sensational charges Of perjury

the conviction OF NeUhaus OF perjury
IN connection with the case.
Mrs. Finder was sued for divorce by
her husband on January &c, 1906. and
after testimony, which she says was
bald perjury, had been taken, Judge

ASK PRESIDENTS
AID FOR ORPHANS
Philanthropists in National
Movement to Place
Children.

To place unfortunate children IN suit
able homes and thereby remove them
from. surroundings which inevitably
exist in every orphan asylum in the
United States, is the object OF cru
sade which was brought to the atten-
ton Of President Roosevelt yesterday
afternoon by Theodore Dresser, editor OF
the Delineator. and j. II. West, Of this
city.
The President expressed great interest
in the matter and promised his callers
that he would give the matter serious
consideration with a view TO aiding
them IN their philanthropic work if ne
could find a way to do so.
Mr. West and Mr.. Dresser are the
founders Of the Home-Finding Society
for Dependent Children They showed
to the President a mass of data which
disclosed that thousands upon thous-
ands Of children throughout the cOun-
try are found TO be in a deplorable
state simply because they have been de-
MED the home influences which are so
necessary in a child's life. Mr.. West
himself was brought up in an orphan
asylum and the conditions which he OBJ
served there and which ne has never
forgotten prompted him to look about
for some method which would permit
orphaned children to be brought no I'm
der proper Influences
Mr. West and Mr.. Dresser told the
President that there are today 1O000
children in orphan asylums, and that
there are 10000 homes in which they
could be placed What is needed, they
said. is an organization Of national
scope carefully to investigate the sub
ject and place the children.
Many men and women Of national re-
pute are said TO have interested them
selves in the society and to be aiding
the organizers in their efforts 70 make
