band Clark, of a' Leeturn
Exceptionally large audiences attend
ed the Easter services at St. Luke's
church yesterday. Holy communion
was celebrated at 6 a, m.-, 8 a. m. and at
the 10. 30 a, m. service, The altar was
decorated In the (magnificent manner
for which the ludlcs of St. Luke's
REV. ROGERS ISRAEL.
church are Justly renowned. Easter
lilies were arranged profusely and In
artistic manner on the eastern wall,
and the fragrant odor perfumed the
large, chancel.
A massive and costly lecturn was
unveiled) In the morning. The beautiful
gift had been presented to the church
by Mrs. Goodhand Clark, of 145 Jeffer
son avenue. In memory of her late hus
ba4id, Goodhand Clark. - "
At the 10.30 a. m. service Rev. Rogers
Israel delivered an exceptionally In
structive sermon based on Psalm
cxviil, 24: "This is the day .which the
Lord luuth made, we will rejoice and be
glad in It." In the course of his sermon
the reverend gentleman said:
"I come this morning, my dear
friends and parishioners, to congratu
late you upon the fact of the resurrec
tion. This age is superior to all other
ages In. that we have the certainty of
the . resurrection of tho ' dead. The
Christian hope is superior to all other
hopes of the future in-tliat It speaks
not only of life, but of recognition, also,
beyond the grave.
Death Is Vanquished.
"Today the satin sheen and exquisite
ly beautiful calyx of the lily, the wav
ing fronds of the palm and the sweet
odors of many flowers Intermingling
with the gentle, voices of tender youth
and hoary age, all bear testimony to
the fact that death Is vanquished and
life victorious. The mysterious bourne
hus been crossed and back In glorified
semblance and actual structure comes
One to meet and tell us the secret of the
future. Today Is the very crown of
days, for today life, death and Im
mortality are as an open book to those
who read.
"The Christian religion differs from
all others In that while their founder,
or Holy One, ds dead, Christ llveth
and llveth forevermore. They .worship
a dead prophet we a resurrected, liv
ing Savior. They live upon past mem
ories and completed works we live
upon an ever present, actual existence
and upon continuous victories. It Is
well for us to keep well In the forefront
of our thought this great festal day,
thaf we worship not a dead but a living
Jesus not an- entombed but a risen
Lord as, upon Good Friday we saw
Him hanging dead upon the Cruel
cross, inclosed in the new hewn
sepulchre so today we behold that
sepulchre risen and the dead alive.
Upon us In these last days has come the.
Joys of the resurrection.
"But we are slow of heart and dulled
of sight. Spiritual truths are long
making an impression. . Like Gideon of
old we want more than a vision, a reve
lation, we ask a sign like the coming
down from the cross, and like Zacharias
we may be Btruck dumb, until In the
silence of bereavement and suffering
our spirits are quickened, our 'eyes
opened and our hearts enlightened with
the knowledge of God."
Grow from Truth to Truth.
The reverend gentleman then con
tinued his theme by saying that it was
not altogether our own fault inasmuch
as sin and Its weaknesses hindered
men in their efforts to live better lives,
Sin was Inherited and gotten by trans
mission, but virtues also were inherited
and as a rule we grow from truth to
truth little by little.
It was very difficult to realize a great
sorrow or a great Joy, and the soul, like
the spirit, is slow to grnsp extremes.
Wo must pass through the experience
before the deepest emotions are aroused
and we must know before we can real
lbze. Therefore their rejoicing yester
day in the Resurrection might bo lit
tle, but as-year after-year passed and
we know the Resurrection one better
and better, our gladness Increases and
our Joy grows, for It Is not a dead Christ
whbm we worship, bat a living Christ
It is not only a future resurrection In
which we rejoice today, but an ever
present one.
In concluding ihls sermon the rever
end gentleman said: "We, today, may
rejoice in the resurrection of ourselves
to a nobler, fuller life, In a faith which
places us in direct communication with
the Resurrected Lord, making us In
deed fleBh of His flesh and by immedi
ate contact receiving; a life in tho liv
ing present IndeBtructlble by " death,
placing the very present living soul In
actual possession of immortality, death
being converted Into but a necessary
step to Jts larger acquirement and bet
ter development. -
Let us, then, eachl In proportion to the
revelation he has received, rejoice and
be glad In this holy day, looking for
ward to ihe final resurrection when we
hall be with- our risen. Lord always."
Throughout the day excellent Easter
munlo .was rendered by, the choir,' under
the direction of J. Willis Conant.

ing under the dlroctlon of Evan Gabriel

For the first time In the history of 'the
Primitive Methofllst tohurch, of Green
Rldfee, no special Easter service was held,
but it was owing to the serious illness of
the chorister, William Russell, who has
been confined tt his homo on Deacon
Btreet, with typhoid fever.
A large number of potted plants were
tastefully arranged around the pulpit of
tho Puritan Congregational church yes
terday. Rev. A. K Ferris preached ap
propriate sermons In both morning and
evening, and In the afternoon special ex
ercises were held by the Sunday school un
der the direction of Richard J. Richards.

and cut flowers. Three masses were cele
brated, the church being completely filled
each time. Rev. John O'Toolo read the

chorus of sixtcon voices. George Noyes

the success of their combined efforts.
In St. Peter's cathedral at 10.30 yesterday
omrnlng a pontifical high mass was cele
brated by Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Haia. Rev.
Kenneth' Campbell was archprlest; Rev.
P. J. Golf and Rev. M. J. Mlllane, deacons
of honor; Rev. P. J. Qulnnan, deacon of
the mass; Rev. T. J. Carmody, sub-deacon,
and Rev. J. J. Feeley, master of cere

imparted the papal blessing. The sermon
was delivered by Rev. Father Miller, who
has been conducting a mission at St.
Mary's church on the South Side. He took
his text from the Gospel of the Resurrec
tion from St. Mark.
The Easter musical programme at the
Providence Presbyterian church, under
the direction of Professor T. J. Davlus
last evening was one of the highest order.
Such authors as Stalner, Bolce, Simper,
Mackenzie, Sphor, Smark, Buck, Garrett,
Holden, Shelley, West, Handel and Parker
are seldom seen on a church musical pro
gramme. The seating capacity of the
church was filled to the utmost both
morning and evening. The solos by
Mrs. J. C. Heckel, Misses Louise Parry,
Catherine Gabriel, Gertrude Williams and
Messrs. P. H. Warren, T. J. Davles and
George Jackson were excellently rendered,
while the chorus parts of the anthems
were far above the level of church choir
singing. The shading was superb. The
Rev. George E. Guild paid a most compli
mentary tribute to the choir a tthe close
of the service. Better music seldom
adorns the programmes of the best metro
palltan choir than that given at the North
End Presbyterian church.
It has been many years since the First
Presbyterian church has been so crowded
as at the services yesterday morning and
last evening. In the morning every seat
was filled, and the gallery had to be used;
but last evening, every foot of available
space was taken and then many failed to
gain admission. The choir gallery had
been enlarged to accommodate the aug
mented choir, and all around this stand
and the pulpit were arranged in graceful
banks the choicest of plants and flowers.
The whole effect was really beautiful.
The first anthem yesterday ' morning,
"Awake Thou That Sleepest," was given
In such a manner that showed the excel
len timbre of the choir, and that the best
of music might bo expected during the
day. The last selection of tho morning,
"Christ Our Passover," was one of the
best things of the day. The best number
on the evening programme was a double
trio, "Pilgrims of the Night," sung by. Miss
Lydia Sailer, Miss Margaret Tori-ey, Miss
Grace Rose, Miss Caro Dickson, Miss An
nie Rose, Miss Lily Joseph. Another
chorus given by the ladies of the choir was
"I Will Sing of Mercy," by Novello, which
was well rendered. The anthem, "He Is
Risen," the first thing on the evening pro
gramme, with solos by Miss Reynolds and
Mr. James, was given In good style. Miss
Sailer sustained 'her solo parts in an ad
mirable manner. Mr. Richards sang his
solos in good voice and excellent expres
sion, and all the others In trios nnd quar
tettes did splendidly. Miss Annette Rey
nolds sang two solos beside tho ones In the
anthems, whloh were well received. Miss
Florence Richmond sustained her difficult
role ns oraanlst most excelluntlv. nml thn
rconductor, Talllo Morgan, can feel proud
of having such a splendid choir, -

OPENING 0FTHE SEASON
Scranton Will Hay Its First Game
on Home Grounds Today.
P0TTSVILLE OUR OPFONENTS
Gaf f ncy Will Umpire the Gamo, Which Is
to Be Callod at 3:30-Brown, Johnson,
Rodgers nnd Reagan Will Occupy
the Points for Scranton Team.
The first home practice game of the
season will be played at ithe base ball
park this afternoon between the Scran
ton team of the Eastern league and the
Pobtsvllle champions of last year's
State league. Gaffney, the star um
pire of the Eastern league, will umpire
the game, which will be called at 3.30
o'clock. Gaffney will arrive here to
day from his home in Worcester, Mass.,
and will watch the plate in all of the
t,wo weeks' practice games In this city.
Dick Brownand Johnson, and Rodgers
and Reagan will' be In the points for
Scranton. Brown is the ex-Bait I morean
twlrler. He is a southpaw and is said,
to throw with equal ease either a ball
that would curve around a circus tent
or a ball pf lubricated lightning. Rea
gan Is the popular little catcher of last
year's Eurekas, of this city. He Is
showing his paces with a possibility of
being signed. Cm last week's trip he
was troubled some with-rattles while
behind the bat, but could knock the
ball into the sun at any stage of the
game, provided the sun was In the right
direction.
Grounds Are In Condition.
Manager Billy Barnle, President
Betts and Director Jordan visited the
grounds yesterday afternoon and were
satisfied that the field would be in con
dition for today's game if no rain falls
in the interval. All that Is lacking is
the laying of lime lines and a few turns
with the dirt roller. The grandstand
and bleachers are ready for occupancy,
but considerable work will have to be
performed before the grounds oft the
field are levelled and the ticket office
and entrance are ready for the opening
of the regular season on Monday,
April 29.
It should bo remembered that car
riages cannot be admitted this year.
The space in the rear of the grandstand
has been arranged as an approach to
the stand. A space for carriages has
been secured in the field across the
street from the park.
Tho pljyers are in s good condition
as could be expected after only three
practice games. The damp weather
and a lack of opportunity for outdoor
exercise has kept them slightly stiff
ened and sore after the three games.
But, everything considered, they are
In fair condition, and, when the time
oomes, will give a proper account of
themselves.
Health of tho Players.
Second Baseman Ward is somewhat
indisposed and Rodgers is lame owing
to being hit by a ball on the knee. His
lameness Is trivial, though.
In speaking of his men, Manager
Barnle refrains from being outspoken.
To even the ofllcers of the club he has
not committed himself, but It Is evi
dent from his manner that he is satis
fied. Whether games are won or lost,
the cranks can for two weeks afford
to withhold criticism.
Shortstop Sweeney has been selected
to captain the team on the field. He Is
In a good position to watch a game,
and personally he is cool and a player
of rare Judgment.
For two weeks the team will be at
home, excepting one day at Carbondale.
Syracuse opens the regular season
here. Until that time the schedule of
games Is as follows:

President Young, of the National
league, has given an Interpretation to
the rule making a caught foul tip a
strike, for the direction of umpires. As
published by the league meeting, the
rule was open to varied constructions,
owing to Its ambiguity. Mr. Young
says it Is a strike In every sense and
that a base runner may steal a base
as upon an ordinary strike.
IN LOCAL THEATERS.
It Is not an uncommon thing when a
play gets to be in Its fourth or fifth
year to hear some tales about the re
writing of the piece, which usually
means no more than the change of a
Character or two and a line here nnd
there, with possibly a new situation,
but the "Daxzler" has really been en
tirely rewritten for this Beason, and Its
old friends will hardly recognize It In
Its new dress. The new piece has a
bright history, clever plot and good
natural situation's, and a glance at the
list of people in the company shows it
to be not only larger, but better than
ever before. It will be seen nt the
Academy of Music 'this evening for the
second time this Beason.
The Worcester .Gazette says of
"Friend Fritz," to be presented by the
Mnnola-Mason' company at the Acad
emy of Music on Tuesday evening!
"One cannot help contrasting Erck-manti-Chatrlan's
"Friend Fritz," as
played by the Manola-Mason company
at the theatre last evening, with the
generality of French comedies, for It
Is Innocent and simple, without taint
or suggestion of anything Immoral. As
a play It Is artistic and strong with a
pretty story admirably worked 'up, and
contains scenes which cause tears to
And their way to the eyes of the sympa
thetic. The muslo was not a part of
the original "L'Aml Fritz," but was In
troduced by the adapter Stantlaus
Stange, the score being by Julian Edwards."-

"The 8alt-Cellar" . is the title of a
domestic glimpse In one act which will
be used by Charles Dickson when he
appears at the Academy of Muslo oft
Thursday evening, representing "In
cog." This little curtain raiser tells in
a humorous manner the experiences
which befall a newly married couple,
who. Ignorant of the many trials with
whloh the hymeneal path is beset, have
vowed never to permit angry words to
pass between them and mar the course
of their nuptial felicity. Mr. Dickson,
besides appearing in "Incog," will lnact
a role In this charming little skit, thus
giving his admirers an opportunity of
seeing him in two-roles. Lillian Burk-hart-Dickson,
well known throughout
-v I - .
the state as an excellent dramatic read
er and elocutionist, will be seen in both
casts. v . , ,,- ;' ,.
"Ole's Luck" will be at Davis' thea
ter today, tomorrow and Wednesday,
matinee dally. Concerning It the New
York Herald says; ." 'Ole's Luck'.'iwas
presented for the second time this sea
son, at the People's theater, last night,
to an audience that completely. Wled
the house. Of the play we will have
to repeat what we said tho fore-part of
the season. It Is the best Swedish play
that has ever appeared In New York.
The company, headed 'by that clever
comedian and singer, Richard T.
Brown, Is stronger than when first seen
here." The same company, headed by
Mr. Brown, will be seen at Davis'.
Next Saturday night John Drew and
company will appear at the Academy of
Muslo In "Butterflies," a delightful
comedy.
On April 22 Aborn's opera company
will begin a week's engagement at the
Academy of Music. Popular operas are
given at popular prices by a company of
thirty-eight people.
