High Water at Southport . 1 45 A. M. High Water Wilmington 4 15 P. M The Charleston Post propounds this conundrum : " What note has South Carolina in the lower House?" Don't know; but it has one counter feit in the upper House. There is a wealthy Filipino in Manila who is so anxious to become the father-in law to a conple of American officers that he offers a bonus of $500,000 each to two who will marry his two daughters. This will probably fetch 'em. The German Kaiser says he is in favor of the open door in China and will co-operate with the Powers, but he doesn't propose to cultivate any unpleasantness with his friend, the Czar of Russia, by interfering with his business in Manchuria. The famous Independence gold mine in the Cripple Creek section of Colorado, which was discovered by W. S. Stratton, then a carpenter working at his trade, is about played oat. He got millions ont of it and in 1899 sold it to an English syndi cate for $10,000,000. John D. Rockefeller when he was six years old made a contract with his father, by which he was to be paid one cent apiece for every de fective fence post he found on the farm. The first day he made 13 cents and felt richer, no doubt, than he has ever felt since. Dr. Hutchinson, an Edglish ex pert on leprosy, expresses the opin ion that it is caused by eating lm properly cnred salt fish. An Ameri can expert sometime ago expressed the opinion that it was caused by eating too much fresh fish. That's how experts differ. Mr, John D. Rockefeller's money is sticking to him better than h?s hair. Some obstinate malady has track that and he is losing all, not only the. hair on his head but evebrows. beard and moustache. Hair experts have been working on him for some time, but the hair de parts all the same. Speaking of the lynching of a negro car porter in Colorado a few days ago for a fiendish assault on an aged woman, an exchange remarks that "human nature is much the tame in the West as it is in the South." Under the circumstances it wouldn't be muoh human nature if it wasn't. LOCAL DOTS. All Fool's Day! Root, boys, root; root with care, all in the presence of Manage? Bear.

John Miller, colored, was ar- raiened in Justice Fowler's court yes terday charged with the larceny of a horse from Henry Carter, colored, and Peter Williams, colored, was arraign ed on a charge of receiving the same.

The second rehearsal for Gibson's Animated Pictures, which will be pre sented soon at the Y. M.

EASTER SERVICES. In All of the Churches the Ex- ercises Were Pretty and Very Impressive. CLOSE OF A QREVT REVIVAL. Market Street JH B. Church is Accom plishing Wlach Oood Special Maslcal Programmes Attracted Large Cofltrezitloas Ideal Osy. Sunday was a most ideal day for Easter. , The weather was perfect in every respect and a large congregation was at each church service, both morn ing and evening. The morning broke light and clear and there was just enough balmy breeze to remind one that springtime is here to stay, despite the rather rude interruption by the Weather Bureau with a frost predic tion for this morning. The first intimation of a proper ob servance of the day came from the tower of historic Saint James, where a hundred and more children gathered and aang pretty Easter carols, with a cornet accompaniment. The effect was very pretty and tender. At 7:45 o'clock Holy Communion was celebrated at Saint James, and the regular morning service came at 11 o'clock. At 5 o'clock a special and very pretty ser vice was conducted for the children. Rev.Frederick- H.T Horsfield officiated at all of them. He also conducted ap propriate services for the regular con gregation and the children of the Chapel of the Good Shepherd at Sixth and Qieen streets. At SL John's church the rector. Dr. James Oarmichael, conducted very pretty services appropriate to the day. Holy Communion was celebrated at 7:30 A. H, with morning prayer, les son and second celebration at 11 o'clock. Seldom, if ever, have the Easter ser vices at SL Paul's been more beautiful and appropriate. The chancel was dec orated in rare taste with flowers and palms and plants, ao that that portion of the edifice might be aaid to have been a poem. The music, which was of a high order, was magnificently ren dered; the solo, duet and other parts reflecting great credit upon the respec tive singers. The Sunday school ex ercises in the afternoon were very beautiful, the marching and ainglng at this service being accompanied with an! orchestra. The cross of flowers. which was built up with the different class banners inserted in it, and final- y capped with a crown of flowers, was an exquisitely bsautiful exercise. At this part of the service an Easter carol was sung, written by the rector, and set to music specially adapted to the occasion. The evening services at 7:45 were also very fine, the singing being simply perfect, and the hymns and glorias being accompanied by Mr. Edward C. Craft as cornetiat, in addi tion to the organ. The discourse of Dr. Dickinson, the rector, in the morning, from the text. I know that ye seek Jesus, which waa crucified; He is not here. He is risen," was pronounced by all who heard it a masterful effort His dis course in the evening upon the text. "Who shall change one vile bodjt'' was a strong presentation upon the resurrection of the body at the last day. The services of the entire day were replete with interest and instruc tion, and the congregations were the largest seen at St. Paul's for many years. At SL Paul's Lutheran church Dr. Voigt, the pastor, conducted Easter services in English at 11 A. M. and 8 P, M., communion having been cele brated at the first service. Sunday 8chool, with special exercises for the children, was held at 8:30 P. M. At SL Matthew's Lutheran church, Rev. C. W. Eegley, assisted by Dr. Bernheim, had preaching, preparatory service and Holy Communion at 11 A. M., with a special song service for Easter at 7:30 P. M. At SL Thomas' Catholic church the Etster services were also very beautiful. R-3V. Father C. Dennen was assisted by Rev. Father Marion, of Fayetteville, and large congregations'were preaenL First mass was celebrated at 7 A M-, with high mass and sermon at 10:30 A M. A special musical programme was arranged for the day, with orches tral accompaniment. At the First Presbyterian church the services were pretty and marked by elaborate musical programmes. Dr. McOlure, the pastor, also conducted services of an impressive and pretty character atSL Andrew's Presbyterian church. The Easter spirit also predominated at the First Baptist church and both services were marked by special music of an appropriate nature. Dr. Black well had for his theme at the morning service, " Beaurgam" and at the even ing service the subject was "After Death. What!" At Grace Methodist church, Rev. J N. Cole preached impressiye ser mons, morning and evening, with special application to the day. There was also good muslo and large congre gations were present at each service. At Fifth Street M. E. church, Bev. Jno. H. Hall, conducted a very beau tiful service for the regular congrega tion and at night there was an Easter service for the children arranged by Mrs. s. F. Hardy, assisted by Misses Mamie McGirt and Sadie Williams. A special choir, directed by Mr. Jas. S. Williams with Miss McGirt as or ganist, rendered the musical numbers which were interspersed with appro priate recitations and songs by the children. Among those' who took part in tbe programme were Walter Blair, Fannie Hall. Boater LeGwin, Margie Hall, Caroline Fleet, Lizzie Gardner, Ealie Riley, Lizzie Newson and Bowena Swann. At Southaide Baptist church tbe services were conducted by Ber. RobL H. Hewlett, of Maaonboro. Easter at Market atreet M. E. church was made even more interesting than usual on account of its having mark ed the close of a very successful series of protracted meetings, which have been in progress for three weeks and whioh were conducted by the pastor Bev. J. W. Potter assisted by Bev. J. W. Craig. As a result of tbe meeting there were 22 accessions to the church Sunday morning and three others have signified their intention to join, making 44 additions since the close of the Conference year in December. The membership of the church has al so been much revived as was abundant ly evidenced in an old-fashioned "ex perience" meeting Sunday nlghL Nearly a hundred persons stood up and testified to the spiritual good re ceived. A collection for the Confer ence assessment was taken up and $150 subscribed. THE WILMINGTON PRESBYTERY. Regular Sprliz Session at Momt Olive; Institute at Davidson la Jane.
