Far weather for Easter made the
dav one long to be remembered in this

their glory. 1t would have taken a
pretty rough day to have prevented
the display which is always looked
forward to on Easter morning,
Flowers ruled supreme in the city
Saturday. 1t was a day of beauty and
Of fragrance, and even the fellow who
never carried bundle fell into the
spirit OF the hour and carried home a
potted azales, or bunch of yiolets
just to prove that Easter meant some
thing to him, too.
There was touch OF chill In the air
but the weather presaged a pleasant
Easter Sunday, and in consequence the
florist stores were crowded to the ex-
treme with eager shoppers. From ear
iy morn until late at night they surged
back and forth, carnival spirit holding
sway, and By nightfal the immense
stock of potted plants and cut flowers
made ready by the florists were ex-
hausted
Tropical flowers, palms, banana
trees, orchids, and other rare flow

In all the churches special musical
programs were given, and in all great
pains had been taken with the floral
decorations The affairs were banked
with palms and lilies were in com

delivered by all ministers.

First Mass took place at 1850 dock
during which the children's choir sang
and the congregation received Holy

The late Mass al 1890 a. m. which

Father Schindel Jesuit from

The altar was beautifully decorated

keeping with the spirit of gladness
and JOY of the great feast.

THE CONVICT LAW.

is in vogue IN many states and it
has worked wonders. proved of in
caleulable value and resulted in the
building and maintaining OF thous-
ands Of miles OF modern roads. as
we'll as bridges and other public im-
proyements
One feature of the law seems to
have been overlooked II is this: If
any county desires TO erect a public
building. and hasn't sufficient funds
at hand with which to pay for labor
application can be made to the state
board of control for certain num-
Der Of convicts-uot less than ten

erection Of d school house. or any
public Improvement which viii prove
of benefit to the people
Another feature OF the law which
is equally as important IS: When
any county, after the plans have been
approved for the building OF a road.
bridge. or public building, can secure
the conyiets for tho purpose of es-
tablishlng and maintaining stone
quarries. erushers and brick kilns

Be used for all purposes for any i'm
provement which will prove of a
beneficial nature except for corpora
tons, such as railroads trolley lines,
etc, or on a turnpike from which the
company derives revenue,
Section Is says The state road
bureau has authority under proper
rules and regulations, to establish
and maintain stone quarries. crush
ers and brick kilns at places in the
stat where suitable material may
be obtained. to be furnished to the
counties desiring to use the same in
constructing or maintaining public
buildings, ana for any other pur-
poe for which the state may desire
to use such stone Or brick The
state convict road force may be en-
ployed by said bureau at and about
said kilns in the manufacture Of
brick under the same rules and reg
uladons provided herein for working
said force on the public roads"
A great aid to the county courts in
this work will be that the chief road
engineer, who shall be an expert in
his particular line, shall aid the
court and county engineer in the prep
aration of plans for the building OF
roads and bridges, and pass upon
them officially before they are adopt
ed, which insures thar the work will
be performed in accordance with
modern ideas The county engineer
is required 10 spend a portion of his
time at the State university receiv-
ing instruction in road and bridge
building, and the county courts have
no authority to employ any persons
WHO do not comply with this proyis-
ion.
