"We are told, when there is a speech

Victim of Hold-Up Fainis
Revives Immediately When
Thrust From Car. How
ever; Thief Makes Escape

Mrs. Teresa Hogan, bookkeeper for
the Union Bindery at 44S West Thirty
seventh Street, went to the Chelsea
Exchange Bank yesterday morning to
get the weekly pay roll, as has been her
custom every Friday for some time
She returned at 1880 and stepped into
the elevator with a nod to Adam Mil
Ter, an engine room employee in the
habit Of relieving the regular operator
during lunch time.
After Mrs. Hogan entered the ele-
vator, Miller waited moment to take
on another passenger, tall dark man,
who wore blue serge suit and q
thirty-five years old. He took off his
hat on seeing the woman.
Miller slammed the door and as the
car began to rise turned to the tall
man for his floor number. The latter
calmly took out revolver, pointed it at
Miller and fired a blank cartridge, still
holding his hat in the other hand.
Miller stopped the car between floors.
and the tall man faced Mrs. Hogan and
said grufly:
Gimme your money!
She handed over her black velvet
bag, containing S1,527, the amount Of
the pay roll, and then tainted. The tall
man motioned to Miller GO up and,
as the car approached the eighth floor,
said: "Stop!" AS Miller automatically
opened the door, he added: Get out! y
Miller got out The tall man carried
Mrs. Hogan out and jumped back into
the elevator, which he ran to the bot
tom.
Apparently no one noticed him leave
the building, although Miller and Mrs.
Hogan, who revived at once, spread the
alarm, and score of persons employed
in the building searched the passage
way or ran to the street.
II think he must have known good
deal about the Union Bindery.' Mrs.
Hogan said. anyhow, he knew what
floor to stop the elevator, and he knew
about the pay roll"

Easter, the one great joyous day OF
all days, was never more beautifully
and appropriately observed in DaW-
son than on the perfect Sabbath just
passed, which marked the sacred an
niversary. The note OF gladness which
pervaded the day was expressed IN
the throngs OF happy worshipers that
crowded the churches made bright
with spring flowers, Gods messen-
gers" telling over and over in their
fragrant beauty the sweet old story Of
the resurrection. The special music
appropriate to the season added an
other joyous note all the brightness
and beauty IMPLYING the hope OF a
larger life and giving the sure prom
Use OF immortality.
Services at the Baptist church at the
morning hour were unusually inter
esting the pastor, Rev. S. F. Lowe,
bringing to his congregation an in
spring message. There was large
attendance at Sunday school as well
as the preaching service, beautiful
program being rendered by the chill
dren OF the primary grades.

ginning of revival services. The over
flowing Sunday school gathered in the
large auditorium, the doors to the pri-
mary room being lifted that all the
classes might be thrown together. The
BaraCa class, with an enrolment OF

the enrolment in all departments, and
gives promise of continued increase
in numbers and interest After the
lesson period Col. NJ. ]. Yeomans

the illegality of the trial Of Christ,
bringing many historical facts to
prove the proposition laid down.
Dr. Henry N. Snyder, president Of
Wofford College and assistant direc-
tor Of the educational movement Of
ne Southern Methodist church, spoke
to a large congregation at the eleven
clock hour, with great force and
power, his masterful Easter message
in its eloquent appeal making a most
profound impression the attention and
interest being intense. 1t was a clear
call to a return to the faith of our
fathers and a belief in he saving pow
er of Jesus Christ as the only cure
for disturbed and and restless humani-
ty.
DR.. Snyder is one OF the most prom
inent and useful laymen of Southern
