FILL CHURCHES
ON EASTER DAY
Unusually Large COngrega-
tiOnS Hear the Resurrection
Theme and Fine Music

People Of every denomination made
up the Easter throngs yesterday. Eas-
ter symbolism attracted the populaco,
and nearly every church in the city
yesterday was thronged by attentive
and deejly interested people. AS be-
tween the ostentatious prone enade that
is supposed to have become a feature
Of the day and the formal payment
OF religious devotions. the latter ap-
peared to be by far the purpose most
In view, and the streets before the
rain hardly presented a different as-
pect from that which they have on any
beautiful spring Sunday.
The themes of the pulpit IN all in
stances kept In the definite lines OF
the New Testament narrative Of the
consummation Of Christs mission and
the results which it implied
The churches presented beautiful
scenes. In the Catholic, Episcopal and
Lutheran churches. where Easter ser
vices are given solemnity by their pc
culIar ceremonies. the deep meaning OF
the Resurrection was emphasized. In
churches Of other denominations the
Joy Of the Ascension was expressed
with quiet jubiliation. Majestic Easter
flowers bedecked the sanctuaries and
lpulpits and exhaled their fragrance
over the worshippers. like some spir-
litual vapor. as If the Redeemer VOL
lcomed their glad paens with an in-
lpelllng reply to the senses. 1t was the
fitting climax 10 the suffering that had
brought ardent Christians through tho
penetential season to the light anC
glory Of the Resurrection morn.
Fine Musical Programs.
Never before was the Easter music

order. 10 experienced musicians tn,

markable. In that time choirs have

LEAGUE PROHIBITS
MERRY WIDOW HAT

EAST LIVERPOOL. Ohio. April 20
The Ohio and Pennsylvania League
teams will have some strenuous prac-
tice work during the coming twelve
days.
An interesting feature OF the COM
ing season will be the action Of the
managers in prohibiting women at
tending the games from wearing the
Merry Widow hats while the game Is
I'm progress. 1t is maintained by the
managers that the dyed-in-the-wool
fans cannot get the full benefit of the
game while such headgear is in front
of them. and that as -he men patron
ize the game more than the gentler
sex the desires of the man with the
coin must be catered to. In several
OF the cities In the league the Councils
win pass ordinances prohibiting the
wearing OF hats at baseball games
4he same as goyern the theatres.

WEATHER.

Forecast till 8 p. ns Tuesday:
For Delaware-Fair tonight and
Tuesday; fresh northwest to north
winds.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-06-28

full of patriotic fire, denunciation of foreign
nations. laudation of the Union, and more
than one declaration that we were the great
est nation N earth.
The orator of the day was always sure Of
generous applause, and the Grafton always
voted the "best ever delivered"
This ended the exercises" and after that
came the informal festivities. There was al
ways barbecue, an OK roasted whole, maybe
two, according to the crowd, and perhaps
half-dozen sheep.
As for the minor fixings"-bread and but
ter, cheese and pickles, pies and cakes-there
was a general contribution and more than
enough for all mouths
Sometimes there was dance in the grove,
a foot-race, wrestling-match, or perhaps
horse-race
At night there was big bonfire in front
of the courthouse, at which the small boy
held high carnival and generally was master
of ceremonies By-the-way, this was about
the only night in the year he could stay up
after nine o'clock, and he enjoyed the privi
lege SO much that he generally had to be
hauled in by his parents or big sister some
time near midnight.
And so the celebration ended and every
body went to bed so full of patriotism that
they wondered how the other benighted ma
tions of the wor.- managed to exist without
Fourth of July.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-06-28

the anvils were successfully fired until the
number of reports equaled that of the States
of the Union,
By this time everybody was up and out in
the streets. In those days, some people kept
Christmas, and others Thanksgiving Day, but
everybody celebrated Fourth of July
Everybody wanted to celebrate, and if they
had not, public sentiment would have made
them do it.
1t was grea. day f.. boys-the only day
in all the year, likely as not, when they were
allowed unlimited liberty to enjoy themselves
It was also the one day in the year when they
could spend their money ON ginger-pop, soda
water and peanuts without question. Fire
crackers and fireworks were almost unknown
in those days outside of the large cities.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, the
parade" began to form, generally starting
from the courthouse.
The marshal of the day, on the shiniest
and most spirited horse in town, was the
leader, and he usually had four to six 'aide-
de-camps," wearing patriotic regalia, generally
d-white-and-blue sashes and immense
rosettes.
Then came the Survivors in carriages.
If any Revolutionary heroes were present,
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-06-28

| they took precedence; if not, the veterans of
the war of 1872 or the heroes of SCOTS cam
paign in Mexico.
Next came buggy with the ."orator of
the day"-.generally the village lawyer--ac.
companied by tn, mayor, burgess or sheriff of
the county. Then came the old settlers in
carriages, and aftel them came the militia
company and all sorts of other companies.
Behind the companies came anybody who
wanted to march in procession, in ranks
more OF less aligned, and almost invariably a
big wagon crowded with girls dressed in
white, each wearing a broad blue or white
ribbon, marked in red with the name Of the
State she represented.
This feature of the parade was always
sure. of uproarious applause. Finally came
the boys, without any alignment at all.
This procession movea to somebody's grove,
where q stand had been previously erected,
the militia grounded arms, the marshals and
committee took the stand, the multitude were
seated or otherwise arranged, and the exercises
began.
First there was miscellaneous salute and
then a selected band of girls sang "The Star
Spangled Banner Next the school master
read the Declaration of Independence, with q
deep voice and appropriate gestures, and then
the band played something patriotic. Finally
the orator of the day spoke his speech, about
an hour in length, and you may be sure it was

How Gold and Silver Are Assayed

~ HE process of assaying gold and silver
is identical. The metal is first put
~ through highly heated furnace and
melted, the samples for ASSAY" be-
ing dipped cut while the metal is in liquid
state. Next the sample is thrown into yes
sci of cold water, when granulation ensues
Taken from the cold bath it is boiled in sui
phuric acid, the silver dissolving, while the
gold is precipitated to the bottom, where it is
caught in proper receptacles.
The acid is now drawn off and the metal
placed in another vessel laid with sheet lead
the bottom being plates Of copper. Chemical
action now sets in, the acid, copper and lead
being in a ferment While the gold is being

sample under test, is being deposited in thin
metallic sheets on what before the fermenta-
ton set in were tne copper plates, but which

After the metals have all been deposited,
they are gathered up, and with the impurities

The Inquisi i've Man

~ HERE is not SO much fun to be got out
Of the inquisitive man. He is gem
" orally mere nuisance, but occasion
ally he furnishes food for merriment.
A certain down-East store keeper was SO of
fensively inquisitive that it was determined
to teach him lesson. Among his failings
was a desire to examine the contents of every
package which his friends deposited in his
store for safe-keeping he must see the inside
il he had to break the package open. One
day man left a stout leather bag,
asking that no one disturb it. The
proprietor walked around restlessly for awhile,
and then stopped near the bag. Apparently
no one was looking, in reality all the store
ioungers were In the secret and were anxious
ly awaiting his, next move. He nervoIsly
for minute and then quickly united it. He
had no time to look in before the contents
came forth. They consisted Of score Of large
and spirited hornets, and the way they lit
on all the exposed portions Of that inquisitive
man was a caution. He shot out Of the store
at pace that would have done credit to a
sprinter. They say. that for year afterwards
he hardly looked into his own SUGAR barrel
without asking permission.

IE have been carried out at several OF
NJ the noted agricultural colleges of
the United States during the past
summer. the object being to ascertain the
lifting power of growing plants of different
! species. Farmers are well acquainted with
the fact that the roots of trees will disrupt
and sometimes overtum a stone wall, but
the lifting power of tender vegetables is equal
ly surprising.
The one result which has, perhaps, attract
ed the greatest attention is the discovery that
weight of two and half tons can be lifted
by the common Yankee pumpkin in the
course of its development.
Doctor Carpenter relates the story of
paving stone, weighing eighty-three pounds,
that was raised from its bed when joined
by others on all four sides) by such a soft
piece of fungi as the common mushroom. And
still another and more remarkable story is
added to the above.
A man having a eask Of sweet wine, plac-
examined several years later it had risen from
the floor of the cellar to the ceiling, having
been borne upward upon the tender shoots
Of a vine fungus. with which the cellar was
filed.

HERE seems to be a division of
opinion about the celebration of In
dependence Day. One class holds that
patriotism is dying out, because the
day is not celebrated with So much noise as
formerly, while the other class contends that
we are just patriotic, but more sensible.
Whichever is right, it is certain that the
day is not celebrated with the enthusiasm OF
forty or fifty years ago. In the "ffties," the
Revolutionary war did not seem SO far away
as it does now, ind survivor Of the war was
not an unusual sight.
First on the program for an old-time ceie-
bration was the morning salute. Cannons were
scarce articles in those days, SO anvils were
utilized.
Anvils have sunken recess in the base,
and when two anvils are placed SO that the
recesses come together, it makes "box."
These boxes were filed with powder, and
when the appointed sentinels saw the first
flush of dawn, they applied the match, and
bang! went the improvised cannon with an
explosion that threw the upper anvil in the
air and conclusion that ratified every win
dow in town.
Then every church-bell rang out, and the
courthouse bell Joined in the clamor, while
