Easter at st. Johns Lutheran Church.
Large and attentive congregations
were present at the Easter services in
St. Johns Lutheran church last Sunday
The pastor, Rev. M. l.. Beard, had an
nounced that the service last Lords Day
would be the last prior to the contempla-
ted repairs, and this, doubtless, contrib
uted somewhat to the interest of the &C.
casion. After neat and fitting speech
by Col John r. Rouzer who touchingly
referred to the faith and devotion of the
fathers in building the present edfice.
he requested the subscribers to the build
ing fund to pay in one fourth of the
amount subscribed. The response has
been prompt and generous.
At night another large congregation
was present when the Sunday School
rendered the Easter service prepared by
the Church Extension Board. The mu-
sic was exceptionally fine, assisted by
the brothers Herman, Stanley and Pink
ney Hauver with cornet, flute and from
bone. The offering during the day were
large.
The congregation, after next Sunday,
will worship in the Town Hall, until the
repairs are completed.
There will be no service next Lords
Day. The pastor will be absent on his
annual trip to the Eastern Shore, where
he has gone to catch fish and eat oysters
and crabs. X

pleasing address to the school and large
audience.
st. Johns Lutheran Sunday School
neld its exercises Sunday evening, rem
dering very pretty service. A feature
of this entertainment was the presence
of three sons of Mr.. Albert l.. Hauver
who with cornet, clarinet and trombone,
in conjunction with cornetist Evers Will
hide added materially in the rendition OF
the service.

Hospitality, and those who revisit
the scenes of their youth; all who re-
turn to meet again the relatives and
friends from whom they have been

welcome awaiting them.
The various organizations that will

and review, a moon light carnival,
firemen's parade, races, tournaments

On Tuesday night at a special meet

of time to use steam on Fourth street
(till April l, 1910, Aldermen Low

the extension, and Aldermen Gam

A large crowd of people were pres
ent. The "kickers" were represent
ed by Hon. Jacob Rohrback and VIM.
p. Maulsby Jr., the former making a
caustic speech against the railroad
and its use of steam. His theme was
you're got them out, now keep them
out" Mr.. Charles Wertheimer made
a reply to the argument OF the law
yers and told the aldermen not to
take them seriously, as they were the
hired counsellors of the DIRECTORS, and
it would have been just as easy for
the railroad company to have EN-
ploycd them, and they would have
been Just as vociferous in favor of the
railroad as their argument had been
against it. This point caught the
crowd which applauded approvingly.
Every one (kickcrs excepted) APPROX
ed the course of the majority of the
Board. 1t was threatened that the
matter would be carried further. 1t
remains to be seen if they will.

ishes residents of Frederick with

furnish electric current to the W., F.

requested that they make contract
to furnish current.
Certainly, within the next twelve
months some very great change Will
occur 50 far as the w., F. 4 G.. rail

THE MAIL ORDER OCTUPUS.

Hints and echoes of the vastness OF
the mail order business Of the coun-
try are frequently heard, but definite
figures have nearly always been lack
ing. For the first time in some years
figures have been disclosed concern
ing the mailings of the largest Chlca-
20 mail order house. This concern,
which by no means is the only mail
order concern in Chicago, began to
mail its spring catalogues on March
Is, and that mail was much greater
than the mailing of any ordinary
concern as a skyscraper is bigger than
log hut.
Six million catalogues weighing 2
ounces each were shipped. The total
weight was 45O tons. 1t required
mail sacks alone to the extent OF 90
tons to hold them. If they had been
forwarded in one lot, thirty full length
ears would have been required. How
ever, fourffths of the sacks required
no handling except to put them on
the train at the proper place. This
mailing broke not only all Chicago
postoflice records, and they are some
thing to break, but broke also most
other postotlice records in the coun-
try, it is claimed. Recently the same
firm mailed in one lot $500, 600 cat
alogues, or 265 tons.
This mailing is that of one Chicago
mail order house, 1t does not in
clude the enormous mailings OF the
other mail order concerns, which IN
the aggregate are much greater than
those of the largest concerns figures.
A prominent advertising man recent
ly estimated from pretty accurate
knowledge that each year $40, OOO,-
600 worth of merchandise was bought
from Chicago concerns by mail. On
very conservative estimate of this
merchandise the figures reach 2,2OO,-
600 families.
On good authority it is stated that
every family in Iowa has mail order
house catalogue. The amount OF
business done by mail order houses
can be gagged by the fact that the
greatest of mail order houses alone
does about 81, 100000 worth Of bus
mess per month. Their catalogue is
| 400 or 800 pages in size, and each
one of the millions of catalogues mail
costs about % cents in stamps to send
out. Nearly 5000 people are en-
ploycd on a twenty acre plant filling
orders, and sevcnty-tivc special cata-
logues and fifteen sample books are
got out each season. PRINTERS Ink.
