BOYS PLAY
SET GRASS AFIRE AND TURN IN
ALARM.
Fire Department Kept Busy Sunday
With Some Serious
BIazes.

Easter Sunday was celebrated by
the firemen by fighting flames as
yesterday four alarms were answer
ed. The first fire was the fire at the
Laveau boarding house on North
Fourth street. at 1:15 o'clock, but
the fire was small. At 5 O'Clock fire
was discovered in the rear of the sa-
loon of James Bulger on Meyer
street just north of the Island creek
bridge.
The fire started in the rear. and
spread to the attic, and before the
flames were quenched the entire
roof was destroyed, making the loss
about $500. The stock of liquors
was not damaged seriously. Money
that had been taken in Saturday
night was gotten out of the burning
building. Hose companies. Nos. 2
and &, and truck company, No. 4,
answered the alarm.
The third fire was at the grocery
OF Mann Clark, Seventh and Camp
bell streets. The cause of the fire is
unknown, and when the flames were
discovered Mr.. Clark was sitting in
the front of the grocery. The fire
shut him of from his telephones,
and he had To run considerable dis
tance to give the alarm. Hose COM
pany. No. 8, and truck company. No.
4, responded to the alarm, and ex-
Tin p0uichad tha 6ra With q Lose of
about $500. The building was not
burned badly, but the stock of gro
ceries was damaged by smoke. Mr..
Clark is a member of the board of
fire and police commissioners.
The last fire was a grass fire at
Nineteenth and Jefferson streets, and
the horses to the No. hose wagon
and the No. truck were given a
long unnecessary run. Chief Wood
has learned that some boys have
been setting dry grass on fire and
then turning in the alarm, solely for
the amusement of seeing the horses
run. IL is a violation of city ordi-
nance with a fine of s25 fixed for
each violation. Chief Wood is de-
termined to break up the practice by
swearing out a few warrants against
guilty persons.
When dry grass is on fire 1t is un-
necessary to send more than one
wagon. and IL the nature of the fire
is known the firemen will not exert
the horses to reach harmless blaze.

In an interview today Captain Ed.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC OFFERED.


the pulpdts. altars and chancels of the
Paducah churches yesterday, and all
the singers OF the city were engaged
in anthems of praise in honor OF
Easter day. Probably no former
Easter found so elaborate programs
and decorations. partly due to the re-
vival of interest in some OF the
churches, which have heretofore been
without pastors.
The Knights Templar celebrated
Easter by attending services at the
First Presbyterian church yesterday
morning. The first few rows of the
middle section were reserved for the
Knights under Commander C. o.
Brown, and they went through their
special service of responsive reading
and prayer before the sermon was
preached. A collection was taken up
by the wardens of the commandery
and sos was collected. which was
given as the Easter offering OF the
church to the Presbyterian Orphan
age at Anchorage. The Young Ladies'
society added $50 and the Sunday
school s17.4S.

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary

they met Christ himself and were as

the care taken TO seal and guard the
tomb, because of Christ's own. pro-
phesy that he would rise, and the
irony, which turned the
efforts of the Romans to prevent the

evidence of its truth. The resurrec-

means nothing to a man. until his life
is touched and changed by Christ. He
appealed to the Knights to hold their
standards high and adopt the prin-
ciples of the order into their every-
day lives.
There was one addition to the
church.
Members of the Princeton com
mandery OF the knights Templar at
tended the service yesterday morn
