THE medium OF human apeech is too
weak TO properly set forth the trans
cendant glory Of the resurrection
scene" said the Rsv. Mr.. ReRcster.
"Tho appreciation OF the fact of the
resurrection is duty of each nsan's
faith, something which every Christian
must do for himself.
'The gospel writer's, guided by inspIr-
alton, merely record the happenings.
giving them the proper setting. The
wonderful consequences that followed,
the enormous Significance of the resur-
rection, has been retold, though but
poorly, on Easter morn ever since, From
the fact of the resurrection comes the
richest poetry of earth, and about II
has grown the most holy symbolism OF
all earth. 1t has answered once for all
the world-old question, II a man die
shall he live again?'"

HE BARKS LIKE A DOG
Thomas FenWick Believed to
Be Suffering From
Decisions.

Thomas Fenwick, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ignatius Fenwick of Columbia ave-
hue, Hyattsville, was detained at the
Bladensburg Jail last night pending an in
vestigation into his mental and physical
was suffering with hydrophobia, as it
was reported he crept about his home
on hands and knees, barking and snarl-
ing like dog.
A physician who was called said he
found no indications of hydrophobia, but
believed the patient was possessed of the
delusion that he was a sufferer with
hydrophobia. 1t was stated Fenwick had
been suffering with malaria for some
time, and was in a generally debilitated
condition.
Fenwick, who is member of the Hy-
attsville company of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard, left home Sunday to go to
camp at Mount Gretna, Pa, but left his
company at Baltimore and returned home,
unable to continue the trip. 1t was stated
today he will be taken to Upper Marl-
boro to be examined further as to his
mental condition.
The recent rabies scare In East Hyatts-
ville as a result Of which thirteen per-
sons who used the milk of a cow that
later died OF rabies took the Pasteur treat
ment in this city, has made residents of
the Maryland town uneasy. and the re-
port that Fenwick had developed the dis
ease caused considerable excitement. The
persons from Hyattsville under treatment
at the hygienic laboratory of the public
health and marine hospital service are in
normal health, and none has shown any
indications of hydrophobia.

ICE SALE CONDITIONS
ARE HELD SATISFACTORY
But Few Complaints Against Short
Weights Are Reg
istered.

The heat of the past few days has
been accompanied by few complaints con-
corning short-weight ice measurements.
er of weights and measures.
While some prosecutions have grown
out of complaints of this nature, declared
Mr.. Haskell today, the number is smaller
than in previous years, and conditions
generally regarding the sale of ice are
satisfactory.
Enactment of a net weight package
law would do more to protect the inter-
ests of llouseholders right now than
most any legislation Congress could
adopt, in the opinion of Mr.. Haskell. A
bill providing that all packages contain
ing foodstuffs be marked with the exact
weight of the contents has been repos-
ing in the congressional archives some
time.
Only recently the District sealer of
weights and measures discovered that a
has been placing on the market boxes OF
bonbons which contain sixteen ounces
only by counting in the weight OF the
boxes. This manufacturer has consid-
cradle trade in Washington. Mr.. Has
kell does not believe that he can be pros
ecuted under the present law, but net
package weight law, he says, would mean
that consumers would not have to pay
for pasteboard and that they would get
q fair return for their money.
Barrels have been found on the local
market to contain but two and half
bushels when they should hold three
bushels. and consumers frequently pay
for foodstuffs which they do not receive,
according to Mr.. Haskell. A net package
law would remedy all this, he says.

LOST MARRIAGE LICENSE

News That Document Has Been
Found Will Bring Joy to
Two Persons.

"Found-One perfectly good, unused

An advertisement of this sort. which
John r. Young. clerk Of the District
Supreme Court. is thinking Of putting
into the papers, Is expected to raise the
spirits of q love-lorn couple, now much
depressed at the loss of the coveted per-
NIT to wed. AS Deputy United States
Marshal Stephen B. Callahan was walk
ing out Georgia avenue late yesterday
afternoon an official envelope lying on the
sidewalk attracted his attention. Gala
han was much surprised to discover a
license. just issued yesterday, .reposing
in the envelope.
Moved with sympathy at the plight Of
the couple, Marshal Callahan began a
search Of the neighborhood for persons
bearing the names appearing In the
license. It was in front Of 2143 Georgia
avenue that the paper was found. but the
marshal was unable to locate either
party. He returned the lost document
to the clerks office this morning;
spouse-to-be, Ernest Scott. when he failed
to exhibit the license last evening is best
left to the imagination. Scott hunted
through all his pockets and finally came
precious document. He will be much re-
lieved, no doubt, to- learn of its return to
the clerk and will probably hot-f0ot it to
city hall to get the paper, so necessary
to- the ringing of the marriage bells.
Mr.. Callahan says he wishes no re-
ward and will be satisfied to know that
he is instrumental in restoring happiness
to two sad hearts.

The will was reduced to writing August
Q, 1910. and the witnesses certify that
