We Lave somewhere in the region of one hundred styles of business
suits new ready te put en. A list' of thctn would be the dullest of read

The lowest price is $8.50, and the highest is 920. They are all of
wool. $8.S0 is very little te get all-wool cloths, sponging, cutting, trim
ming, making, watching, handling, rent, book-keeping, advertising aud
selling, out of ; but we manage te de it by dividing the casts among se
many of you that one hardly feels his share at all ; he pays for materials
and work, and very little mere.
We'll take another day for the rest ; but you may as well corae and
see new as later. Seeiug is better than reading.

MONDAY EVENING, APBH. 18, 1881.
EASTER-TIDE.
A JOYOUS CELEBRATION.
WORSHIP, MUSIC AND FLOWERS.
General Observance of the Festival of the
Resurrection.
" Christ is ri-en." tell the talc
O'er sea and plain, o'er hill und dale ;
Fer us He burst the bands of death,
"Fear net its sting" te each lie saith.
"Christ Is risen," from the tomb.
He cells us uli lrem sin and gloom ;
"Let the glorious, cheering sound
In earth's dark places loud resound.
"Christ is risen," say the flowers.
Peeping out from leafy bowers;
" Christ is risen," sing the trees,
Their young leaves llutt'ring in the breeze.
""Christ Is ritcn," chirp the birds.
All nature seeuts te breathe the words.
And sweet fall these upon the ear
That, " with the Saviourgrews the year."
Notwithstanding the prolonged severity
of the wiuter.Eastcr-dayuever broke mere
brhiht aud beautiful ever Lancaster city
than yesterday morning, aud the occasion
was never in our local history made one of
eucIi general observance. Although winter
has se long kept icy held upon the earth,
nature aud the spring have asserted them
selves, aud springing vegetation and sing
ing birds yesterday welcomed the anniver
sary of the day when Christ burst the
bends of death and scaled the evidences of
the holy Christian faith with His final
triumph ever the powers of darkness.
Year after year tii. full significance of this
victory and of its adequate commemoration
have become nrim and mere vividly im
pressed upon I he church, and while the
Catholic and Episcopal churches, relieved
from the tension of Lent, still give it the
greatest importance in the church calendar,
few denominations are unmindful of its
special character.
The custom of sendiug Easter cards, ex
changing gifts, and elaborate use of llow llew
crs in churches and homes, which has
been steadily growing of late years in the
larger cities, has fully taken possession of
our community, and our bookstores, con
fectioneries and llerists have trebled their
usual business in this line the present sea
sons. Theu-auds of Easter cards, many
hundred-weight et confections, in quaint
taster devices, were sold here in the past
wcek,and the florists were kept busy until
late Saturday night filling the orders
which had almost exhausted their spacious
greenhouses.
The spring fashions also are generally
held in check for exhibition en Easter Sun
day, though the tardy approach of warm
weather somewhat .abated the usual dis
play yesterday. However, net a few bright
dresses, gay bonnets, brilliant hats and
morning suits for gentlemen made their
first appearance yesterday. -
While the church bells were ringing it
seemed as thou :h the whole population
was en the streets, and nearly every place
of worship was thronged ; the
marked -displays of flowers aud the
exceptionally flue music premised
in many of the churches no doubt, attract
ing many who might go eftcner with credit
te themselves and profit te their senls.
Detailed repot ts of the decorations and
services iu the churches which kept Easter
with special ceremony are appended.
Iu the churches aud en the streets, it
was notable that niauy visiting strangers
were in town, and family reunions were
the order of the day. Most of the young
ladies and gentlemen of the city, who are
away.at school took advantage el short
vacations tocemeliomc, and persons wont
ing out of town, who reside here, were very
generally with their families yesterday.
EPISCOPAL,.
Ill the l'arlli or St. James.
It being se widely known that
iu the old Episcopal church of St.
James, the floral decorations aud music
of Easter are objects el long ana careiui
preparation, the interest of persons out
side of any church connection was prob
ably mere generally attracted te this church
than any ether yesterday morning, and
before the regular hour for the opening of
the services, every scat in the sanctuary
was taken. As usual the decorations in
the chancel were elaborate aud tasteful.
The silken hangings and sacred banners
used ou high festal occasions adorn
ed the walls. Most conspicuous among
the floral adornments was the Easter gilt
of Richard Jenkins, esq., of Camden, N.
J., te the memory of his mother. It was
placed te the right of the chancel upon the
stone uajJiisHiiii nun, wuicu i pciuitt
ucnt Jenkins memorial. Bread ferns cov
ered the top and sides of the font, and
upon them was a bank of red rose buds,
out of which arose a cress about four feet
high, the arms of which were of white
carnations and the most delicate white
rosebuds. In the centre of the cress en a red
ground, fringed with lilies of the valley,
was wrought the sacred monogram, the
whole producing a striking cfi'cct. On the
pulpit was another beautiful cress, the
McMurdy memorial, offered by Mr. and
Mrs. D. G. Eshlemau. IUch bouquets of
white rosebuds, carnations, callas and
lilies of the valley and a profusion of cut
flowers Tilled the chancel, aud their rich
perfume pervaded the whole church.
The execution of the musical pregramme
by the male choir, whose careful training
by Prof. Carl Matz, is ample proof of his
talents aud efficiency, was wonderfully cor
rect and pleasing. The clear, flute-Iikc
soprano of young McEvey elicited the
rapt .admiration of all who heard him and
the choruses were rendered with a strength
and beauty of expression that made the
venerable walls of St. James echo with a
holy fervor of worshipful adoration. The
following was the pregramme as outlined
in Saturday's Intelligence". :
Pasche. Morningteii.
r suiter. Plain Tenes.
Te Deuni Whitney.
Jubilate Danks.
Creed. ... auuxs.
Kyrie Mendelssohn.
Gleria Tlbi Gounod.
Offertory. Stalner.
Trisagien .'. .-. Warren.
Gleria in Exeelsis Old Tene.
Nunc Dimittis. Peregrine.
The sermon in the morning was en the
theme " Christ is risen and become the
first fruits of them that slept.' Dr.Enight
opened with a beautiful description of the
rendition of this anthem as he heard it
once in an- old European cathedral, and
then passed into a dissertation en the joy jey joy
eusness and universality of the Easter
celebration in the Hely Christian church.
Dr. Knight also preached in the evening.
There was early communion and, in all,
three services during the day. Te day and
te-morrow the communion is administered
in St. James and en next Sunday at 5 p.
in. there will be Easter service and an
Easter sermon for the Sunday school
children.
Last evening the music was nearly iden
tical with that of the morning. At both
services many members of ether churches
of the city attended, and many persenss
from out of town, members of old familie
connected with the parish.
St. Jehn's (Free) P. K. Church.
Beth morning and evening services at
LANCASTER, PA., MONDAY, APRIL
St. Jehn's were very largely attended, the
final leave-taking, after seventeen years
pastorate, of Rev. Barker adding te the
usual interest of the Easter services. The
floral decorations here were also rich and
elegant. Ou the left of the chancel was
the offering of Sirs. H. 'M. North of
Columbia, te the memory of her mother,
the, late Mrs. T. E. Franklin. Frem
a base of growing plants and a
profusion et cut flowers arose an ex
quisite device wrought in choice white
fleweis and rose buds, being at once a
cress, crown and anchor. Anether white
cress steed in the chancel and en either
side of it numerous bouquets and hangings
of smilax. In the morning Mr.
Barker preached au Easter sermon from
St. Luke xxiv., 5, and iu the evening he
preached lrem St. Jehn vi., 47. In the
conclusion of his remarks he referred feel
ingly te his long residence in the parish
and the community, and te his pleasaut
relations with both. He spoke with deep
gratitude of the treatment he had received
and his profound regret at the sundering
of many happy ties. IL invoked the
blessing of Ged en the parish and upon
the whole community, and prayed that all
might enter into the " life everlasting "
which he had mado.the theme of his first
and last discourse.
After the service many members of
the parish and personal friends went for
ward aud bade the rector farewell.
The music at both services was excel
lent. Iu the morning Rev. Barker bap
tized thirteen persons, a total of fifteen
this Etster season. During his term as
rector he has baptized 515 persons, buried
2'J3, and assisted at the Cinerals of half as
many mere, married 150 couples aud con
firmed 286 individuals.
Mr. Barker gees from here te reside iu
Germautewn aud will engage in no active
ministerial work for six months or a year,
when he cm only accept a call te.serve a
smaller parish than that which he leaves,
se strengthened and enlarged under his
ministrations. His people greatly deplore
their less in his departure and arc casting
about for a successor. A strong feeling
prevails towards a recall te the parish of
its former rector, RevL Dr. E. AV. Apple Apple
ten, new of Chclten Hills, Pa.
CATHOLIC.
St. Mary's Church.
Iu St. Mary's, as iu the ether Catholic
churches of the city, the sembre purple
coverings of the altars, pictures and images
have been replaced by the garments of
praise and joyousness. The sanctuary has
been converted into a spectacle captivating
the eye aud quite charming the beholder's
sense of the beau ti! ul. Bouquets and
ether devices adorn the altar in abund
ance, aud the shrines at each side display
similar ornamentation. The flowers are
all of the rarest and costliest, aud whilst
there is net much opportunity for variety
in the decoration here, the evidence of
geed taste in the formation of the bouquets
and ether desigus aud iu their general
arrangement is net lacking. Mass was
said atG::J0,at8aud 10 -Lin ; Father McCul McCul
leugh being celebrant at the first two and
Father Ilickey at the third. At the lat
ter the congregation was uuusually large,
a feature of the attendance beiu.tr the pre
sence of a numerous delegatieu from the
state normal school atMillersville. Lambil Lambil
lettc's famous mass in E flat was suug for
the first time in this city, aud these of the
regular attendants at this church, as well
as the occasional visitors, who for the past
year have observed with such decided sat
isfaction the progress steadily making in
the choir under the capable leadership of
Mr. AVni. B. Altick aud of Miss Lizzie
Strebcl, the accomplished organist, heard
with renewed pleasure the fine rendition
given te this celebrated and difficult com
position. In every detail it showed care
ful preparation aud patient and successful
efforts te master the difficult parts iu
which the work is se prolific. The chorus
effects were uniformly full, accurate and
satisfying, while tee much praise cannot
be awarded te Miss Delia Deyle's sweet
soprano, Miss Edith Johnsten's rich and
powerful contralto, and Mr. Altick's ex
cellent tenor, heard te such line effect in
the many beautiful soles, duets and tries
of the mass. Of Miss Strobel's admirable
work at the ergau words of praise would
be superfluous ; suffice it te say it was
marked by the artistic finish that has
given this young lady such high rank
amene our local musicians.
Father Hickcy preached an appropriate
discourse at the ten o'clock mass, and iu
the afternoon at 3 Rosewig's vespers were
sung in the presence of a large congrega
tion, being ceuductcd by Father ilickey.
St. Antheny's.
The altars of St. Antheny's were beau
tifully trimmed with evergreens, aud a
wreath of choice cut flowers very taste
fully arranged, one of the most beautiful
piece', a large lleral basket, presented by
Miss Jennie Grimm; of Philadelphia.
There were masses at 8 aid 10 o'clock, a.
m., celebrated by Rev. Father Kaul, the
pastor, assisted by Rev. Father Christ.
The congregations were very large,
aud between 400 and 500 mem
bers received the communion. Dur
ing the morning services the choir
sang with fine effect Dauchaucr's French
mass. Rev. Father Christ conducted the
vespers at 3:30 p. in., the choir singing
Builcr's vespers. In the evening there
was a congregational meeting in the base
ment, at which Rev. Father Christ, in the
name of the congregation, presented Rev.
Father Kaul with a pin-se of $200, collect
ed among the members te assist in de
fraying Father Haul's expenses during his
trip te Europe the coming summer. An
additional purse of $60 was contributed by
the Sisters for the same purpose. Father
Kaul feelingly responded te these sub
stantial evidences of the esteem iu which
he is held by his parishioners.
St. Jesepii'
The altars of St. Jeseph's church were
very prettily decked with fresh flowers and
evergreens furnished and arrarged by the
Sisters. At 10 o'clock high mass was
served by the pastor, Rev. Father Grote Grete
niycr aud Dechaucr's graud mass was
sung by the choir, Harry Decker having
charge of the organ. Kapp's arrange
ment of the hymn "Haec Dies" was sung
by Miss Amelia Dichl, whose fiuc soprano
voice was much admired. The usual ves
per services wcre held in the afternoon.
During the day collections were taken up
for the purpose of building a new school
house and" Sisters' honsejen the let adjoin
ing the church. The contributions were
very liberal and- gave premise that the
new buildings will seen be put under con
tract. MORAVIAN.
Beautiful and Impressive Observance.
The floral decoration of this church is
of the same elaborate and tasteful character
that in past years has distinguished its
observance of the Easter festival. The
pulpit platform has been converted in a
perfect garden of beauty, the profusion of
rare and elegant flowers being devoid of
ebstrusivcucss or ostentation by reason of
the admirable taste displayed iu their ar
rangement. The central object is a large
cress of evergreen, entwined with roses
and ether bright-colored flowers, occupy
ing the foreground. Flanking it en both
sides, and in the rear, are an abundance of
the richest and handsomest productions of
18. 1881
the greenhouse, the tall and stately calla
lily being especially prominent, but
the collection including 'also in addi
tion te a large number of magnificent
specimens of that splendid flower, roses
rich and rare, and geraniums, heliotrope,
fuchsias, with a plentiful sprinkling of
Nile lilies, and many smaller cut and
petted plants. The reading desk and
pulpit are neatly set off with smilax, the
effect withal being artistie in the extreme
and strikingly beautiful, especially when
vlwed from the choir gallery.
The first service was held at C o'clock
in the morning, the attendance being
large and the exercises marked with
singular beauty and solemnity. The Eas
ter morning liturgy was said, followed by
the reading by-the pastor, Rev. J. Max.
Hark, of the narrative of that first Easter
day nearly nineteen hundred years age.
The service was concluded by the re
spensive reading of the "Te Deum Lau
damus." At the half past ten o'clock
service the congregation was even larger
than at the earlier devotions. The pre
scribed Easter litany took the place of the
one customarily used. Rev. Hark's ser
mon was characterized by the eloquence,
earnestness and scholarship which mark
all his pulpit utterances, the theme being
appropriate te the day, the text from St.
Jehn's narrative of the resurrection,-'and
its masterly treatment evolving feed for
solemn thought and the instruction and
edification et his attcntive hearers. The
oveninjr service was of special and peculiar
interest. The church was crowded, eveiy
inch of available seating space was occu
pied, chair aud benches were brought in
te accommodate the throng, and many per
sons were turned away, unable 'te "secure
admission. The exercises began with the
entrance of the children of the Sunday
school from the southern doers en each
side of the pulpit platform. They pro
ceeded down the main aisle, aud took front
seats iu the main body of the church.
Rcsponsive scriptural reading appropriate
in tuc occasion uy tuu uuys uuu gui cuui
prised the first portion of the exercises,
interpersed with singing. At intervals
little children entered from the Sunday
school bearing maguificeut floral emblems
which wcre added te the pulpit decoration.
The first was a cress aud crown which
was placed en top of the large cress
j already described ; aftci wards a beau
titui ancuer was ureuguc iu ana
placed at the feet of the cress ; and
subsequently a large heart composed of
crimson flowers was placed alongside of
it. These additieus, as may ba supposed,
greatly enhanced the fine effect of the or
namentation. A brief and felicitous ad
dress by Mr. Hark accompanied his
presentation te each of the chil
dren of a bright co!e.cd Easter
egg, aud happily rounded out the
interesting services. It is proposed te
have the floral decorations here photo
graphed. The Meravians concluded their solemn
Passion week services tyi Saturday night
by a love feast in the church which was
largely attended.
LUTHERAN.
In Old Mether Trinity.
Ne sermon was delivered in the morn
ing at the Trinity Lutheran church, Duke
street. The scriptural lessens were read
by Rev. Mr. Reed, of Christ church, ou
West King street. Dr. Grecnwald speke
for a few moments of the present religious
occasion, et the solemnities el the season
of Lent, and of the transition of the soul
into the happy, joyous Easter time. The
reverend gentleman also speke of the pe
culiar importance of the communion at
the present period, saying that it was a
cucharist of a joyful commemoration. Af
ter these remarks holy communion was
administered te a large number of com
municants, Dr. Greenwald and Mr. Reed
officiating. The altar was very prettily
decorated with festoons of ivy, and a num
ber of beautiful flowers.
Urace Church.
At the Grace Lutheran church, North
Queen street, communion was observed iu
the.meruing, aud at the children's services
iu the afternoon the rite of infant baptism
was administered. In the evening the
pastor, Rev. Charles Elvin Houpt,
preached a very interesting sermon from
the words, " Fer beheld, the kingdom of
Ged is within you," found in the 21st
verse, 17th chapter of St. Luke The
reverend gentleman based his remarks
upon the utter necessity of a full reliance
upon Ged, His omniscience, aud the free
and ample salvation of these who seek and
find the truth ; the sermon being all
through a fervent and deeply touching
appeal te a'l te seek salvation and enjoy
the glories of Christianity.
The floral decorations of the ..church
wcra tasteful, conspicuous among which
were a vase of beautiful lilies, a heart
and anchor of pretty flowers suspended
from the pulpit, a floral cress, suspended
from the reading desk, a rockery aud pyr
amid of calla lilies intertwined with smi
lax iu the baptismal font, a floral anchor
and smilax surmounting a pillar in the
chancel, and floral cress and bouquets en
the altxr. During the morning ser
vice the choir, under the lead
of Mr. J. B. Heviuski, rendered a graud
Te Deum Laudamus in E flat, by Loyd,
with orchestral accompaniment by Keller's
orchestra. The duet in the picce was
sung by Mrs. A. A. Hubley and Miss Ella
Arneld, and the bass sole by Mr. Mel
linger. The new music te the church ser
vice was also used for the first time with
full choir and instrumental accempani
ment, and the effect was very fine. At
the children's service in the afternoon
there were fine musical exercises, an ad
dress by the pastor, and a distribution of
Easter cards te the children.
Christ church.
There wcre no services at Christ Luther
an church yesterday morning. The Sun
day school in the afternoon was very
largely attended, and the church was very
prettily decorated with flowers a large
semi-circular wire frame iu front of the
pulpit beiug filled with rare plants, and
two large and beautiful bigneuias
being placed ou the pests of cither end of
the pulpit. In the evening the church
was greatly crowded. The choir sang the
anthem ' Praise the Lord," as arranged
by Bissell, and the pastor, Rev. Reed,
preached a sermon apprepriate te the oc
casion from Revelations i., 18, after which
the communion was administered te 87
communicants, including these confirmed
en Geed Friday.
; Sc Jehn's Lutheran.
There was no formal decoration of St.
Jehn's church, but there was one very
pretty floral piece en the altar, represent
ing Faith, Hepe and Charity ; it consisted
of the cress, the anchor and the heart, and
was presented by several ladies of the con
gregation. There was no special Easter
services, but Rer. Sylvanus Stall, the
pastor, preached a sermon en the resur
rection in the forenoon. There was no
evening service. On Sunday next this
church celebrates the communion.
The German Churches.
l There were no decorations in Zieu or
t. Stephen's Lutheran churches. Rer.
Mtyser, pastor of the former, preached in
thtnherning from the 43th chapter of Gen
esis, his text including the 1st te the 15th
verse. Rev. Meister, pastor of St. Stc
phen'f, preached in the morning from
Matthew, ISth chapter and 18th verse. The
usual Sunday services were bad in both
churches during the evening .
REFORMED.
At the Fut Church.
The First Reformed, Rev. J. A. Peters,
pastor, was very fully attended and very
tastefully decorated with living flowers of
choice varieties, callas, geraniums, smilax
and bignenias being especially conspicuous.
The altar, pulpit and baptisimal font,
indeed the entire chancel, was ornamented.
On each side of the pulpit steed vases of
growing ferns, while upon the Tplatferm
were pets of flowers en the one side
calla lilies and en the ether geraniums,
bignenias, etc. arranged in the form of
pyramids. Immediately in front of the
pulpit, and upon the communion table,
steed a small marble cress, at whose base
was heaped a profusion of choice cut
flowers, mostly rosebuds. Within the
chancel rail were several stands en which
were placed a number of handsomely ar
ranged bouquets, while from the altar
gracefully hung the twining smilax. The
decorations as.a whole were very elaborate
aud were net excelled by any efTier sister
churches. Toe much credit cannot be
given te the ladies of this church, espec
ially Miss Acnie Zahra and Mrs. E. J.
Zahm who superintended the decorations
that added se much iu making Eastertide,
1881, a grand success.
The first service of the day was held at
6 a. m. ; the prescribed Easter service was
read, and the singiug, being of a very fine
order, was rendered by a choir of four
teen boys. At the 10 o'clock service Rev.
Peters did net preach a sermon, but
simply made 'a few remarks relating te
the great event celebrated aud its
influence upon the Christiau world.
The sacrament of communion was
administered aud very largely attended.
The singing at this service was unusually
fine, and the anthem. " Christ our Pass
ever " the sole by Miss Alice Troyer and
the trio by Miss Laura Lechsraud Messrs.
Stamm and Prczingcr are worthy of
special praise. In the evening the regular
service was held ; the sermon was based
ou the theme of Christ's resurrection and
the singiug, especially the anthem sole,
"O Ged of My Salvation," by Miss Troyer,
was very finely rendered.
St. Paul'.
This church observed te some extent the
Easter festival. The services both morn
ing and eveuiug, especially the sermons of
the pastor, Rev. Dr. Shuraaker, were based
en the theme of Christ's resurrection.
The decorations, though limited, were very
beautiful. On both sides of the pulpit
were placed handsome bouquets, while the
communion table was covered with pets of
growing plants arranged in three special
groups. The baptismal font was filled
with cut flowers, arrauged in the form of a
pyramid. The services were well attended,
at. Luke'a.

a. m. ; Sunday-school at 2 :30r and preach
ing en ttroesurrcctien at 7:30 p. m. The
attendance was large.
Sr. Jehn's (German).
At the morning service, the pastor, Rev.
Mr. Dahlmau preached a sermon en the
resmrcctieu, after which the communion
was administered, the pastor prefacing the
solemn sacrament by a pertinent address.
It'is usual in this church te administer
the first communion te the ciass of
catechumens en Easter Sunday, but owing
te a chauge of pastors before the conrse of
lectures te them had been completed this
service was postponed this year until Whit
suntide. In the evening Re v. Dahlmau con
tinned his sermon ou the resurrection.
There wcre no floral decorations, the cus
tom iu this church being te decorate only
en Christmas.
METHOIMST.
