Was at St. Luke's Church in the Morning, nt St. David's in the Afternoon nnd at tho Church of the Oood Shepherd in the Evening. Preached tin Eloquent Sermon in the Latter Church on the Joys of Easter-tlme nnd What They Mean. nt. Itev nishop Uthclbcrt Talbot, of the Central Pennsylvania Protestant diocese, made an olllclal lslt to thti city vesteidav nnd confirmed largo classes at several of tho Kplscopal churches. In tho morning he confirmed a class of thirty-two tit St. Luku'n church, and afterwards preached nn eloquent sermon on "Christ's Method of Dealing with Doubt." In the aftcinoon tho bishop continued a class of twelve at St. David's church, West Kei anton, afterwards delivering a bilef sci mon on "Jesus and tho Res urrection " In the evening he conn lined n class of ten at the Church of the Ciood Shepherd, In Green Ridge. There was nn especially large congiegatlon present, and at the conclusion of tho ceiemnny the bishop gave a brief ad dress to those who had lecelvcd the saciamcnt, telling them of the gicater Cluistlun losiionFlbllltle.s that will In futtitp fall to their lot He then preached a most eloquent sei mon, taking his text from Psalms, 118.21: "This Is the day which the lvnd has made; we will lejolee and be silad In It." Among other things, he said. THU OIUJATKST DAY. "There weie, of couise, manv great festivals and feasts In the Jcwlh church and a deal of uneeitalnty nt taehes to the exact daj the psalmist meant when he wrote these winds. The eaily Cliilstlan fatheis, however, were not slow to apply Its meaning to tint greatest and most bIoiIiius of all days In the Cliilstlan jear, namely, Haster biinday, which has Just passed. "We have It Is ttue, a little Kastet' fifty-two times a yeai, but the great clay of all orfly comes once 11 je.u. There can be hardly any question hut that this Is the queen of all festival -t. Theie Is a glotlous da on the twenlj flfth of every December, the day when the nativity of Jesus Chi 1st is cele brated. A ccitain element of pathos and sadness, however, enters Into this. The blith of Christ means that the Gieat Lonl of Heaven and Haith had Wt tho bilshlness of His heavenly tome to humiliate and lower Himself by taking the bin den of man's sins on Ills shouldeis. "How different It is, however, with faster Sttndav, when the dominant note Is Joy nnd a Jn- that Is manifold. Theie are thiee maths of jov which ramo with that Hist Kaster nineteen bundled yeais ago, and of these I would sicak In lolly. "The Hist is that tho fitst Kaster pos sessed the Joy of teai tion. For several das before that daj the apostles had suffeied the most keen and bitter ills appointment. Thej could not under stand how this man of rower could allow himself to come to the end he did. They weie disappointed tint He who had lulcd tho wind and waves should have allowed himself to bo ar rested, spit upon, ei owned with thoins, scourged nnd lluallv, most houlblc of all, crucified JOY Or THU RHSIIRRUCTIOX "To them the death of Chi 1st on Cal varjr's top meant the collati.se of in, their fairest hopes. How easily then can bo Imagined their Jov when on that Kaster morning they saw Him once mote amongst them, tadlant and full of vltalltv. holding out His hands, and saying, 'Peace, I give unto you.' Theirs was tiuly the Joy of a gieat re action. "The second Jov was the Jov of a great certainty. Tho hunun intelli gence alwavs demands satisfaction as well as the human heart. The apostles saw that all His predictions an 1 prophecies were fulfHled and that He was tiuly divine The icsuirectlon has been tiulv called 'the kevstone of th auli of Christianity.' Knock It out, nnd everything falls, "Had It not been for this historical fact for tho lesunectlon Is an histori cal fact Chtlstlanlty would have been dead long ago and dp 1st scaieely a memory. The resurrection makes the gospels ever new, ana we can safely plant our feet upon this doctilne, knowing that if we believe, we have a certain pledge of heavenly lest. "The third joy was the Joy of a great hope. It is this Kaster day hope of lesunected life that filled the apostles and should fill us w 1th jov unspeak able. In Athens nnd In Rome In ths early ages one might see upon the cemetery gates the Inscription, 'They Havp Been,' there being then no pos sible thought of a reunion after death or of a new life. Walk tluoush the cemeteries In any Christian land to day and one may read the inscription on hundreds of tombstones, 'I am the resurrection nnd the life, and whoso ever believeth In me Bhall never die.' "We are gruduallybeginnlng to think of death as n mere Incident, rather than ns a thing to be feared una dreaded. This Is the true Christian way and the one that every true follower of the lowly Xazarlne should follow." The bishop was the guest In the morning of Itev. Rogers Israel, rector of St Luke's church, and in tho even ing of J, Ren Dlmmick. He goes to Carbondale today, but will return to this city tomorrow to confirm a class at Christ church, Green Ridge.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA. Stiiring Set mon Delivered by Rev. R. F. Y. Pieice, D. D., in J?cnn Avenue Baptist Chuich. Theie weie piohnbly 1,200 persons In the Penn Avenue Baptist church last night at the special services held, t l.ilse funds for the htui vlntr people of Indli. Itev. It. F. Y. Piece spnko upon the subject of "Help for the Htaivlng Millions, or Humanity's Cry and America's Answer." lie called tho attention of his heaters to the tcnlble state of aff.tiis existing, by nanatlng it few Instances of tho hm libit! conditions pievnlling. "Food is so scarce," he s-ald, "that parents ejt their own chlldien "Hemming mlsslon.it ic.s tell of one instant"-, wheie a father and mother weie starving together with their children. The fathei Impiisoned two of the chlldien In a cage, he constiuct ed and then boiled and ate the other c-hlld. Tlie mother, for motheis are the same In India as they aie heie, could not eat of the hoiiihle lepast, and the chlldien weie at last rescued. Think of It, my fi lends, women sell ing theii chlldien fot thlity cents, at the veiy highest, think of glils being sjIiI to Mnhnminedans fin four cents, and God Almighty knows what Ma hummed. ins do with girls." Lawrence's orchestra was In attend ance nt the services and rendered two sacied "Selection.-! The singing of the choir was magnificent, and Mis. Fiank Ilriindago sang "Home, Sweet Home" In a manner which went to the hearts of eveiyone present. At tho conclu sion of the bci vices ar offetlng for those peilshiug In India wns taken, a veiy latge sunt being cuiitilbuted. In the course of his set mon Itev. Plereo said In ptt: "When wo stand at the judgment seat and nro called to account for our eurthlv doings, we will be confronted with the hundreds of thousands who have died clamoilng for bread. Will It do us any good to ciy 'Lord, they were but heathen, benighted heathen, llv Ing far away trom us?' No! We will be asked, 'Were tiny llesh and blood " Weio they tashioned In thy form?

Ah, how most of us would like to go to Palestine, to the Holy Land, and seo tho saciod spots and places mado holy by tho presence of the Redeemer. Rut, the holiest land Is not Palestine. It Is where we ouiselvs are. We too can hallow tho soil where we stand, by Christ-nice services for humanity. Now heat trending Ties aie coming to us from India, where sixty millions of people 'vie starvliiff, wheie nt least onp million of poor souls must die befoie the next hat vest time, unlets speedy aid comes. "My friends, two c-enls will save a life for on" day and one dollar will be tho means of saving some poor un fottunote for over a mouth, "These famines and gieat misfor tunes ure nothing nsw It does not seem s-- long ago to me that this land rang with the news that Chicago was on fire. I will never forget the Char lestown earthquake, und the tlmo not long sln'e when a dam burst, nnd tho newh of the Johnstown Hood sent iit thrill to tho hejita of the peoplo of' this great nation. "The famine In Ii eland and that in Ilussla me still fresh in your minds, my friends, nnd the aid sent both of those suffeiln? countiles was a prompt nnd noble response to the call of suf feiing humanity. "It i both a Chiltlan and a pitrlot le duty to send aid to the starving people of India. Chtlstians, for many of them have adopted the true faith, and for to doing have been ostracized by their brethten, patriotic because wo stand before the world In a gllttotlnar light, as it seems that Ood Almighty has destined this country to be the gi amity of the whole vvoild, and of our abundance wo suiely should send some to our starving blethers in India.

OTHER FEATURE OF ELECTION COIN TEST VAST AMOUNT OP LABOR RE QUIRED TO CONDUCT IT. For Two Yeais the Attorneys, Clerks nnd Constables Engaged on Either Side Have Been Diligently nt Work on This Big Job Some Idea of the Systems Employed in Keeping Tabs on tho Result of the Exami nations Nothing Was Done in a Haphazard Manner. One who has not looked into the mat ter can, scarcely conceive tho amount of labor expended In the conduct of a big election contest, such ns that for the olllce of county tieasuter, which is now drawing to 11 close. This contest litis been on for two years, and dutlng all of tjiat time scarcely a day has passed that the at torneys, constables and cleiks, em ployed on one sldo or tho other, have not done more or less woik In connec tion with It, What this service cost is, of course, not n matter of lecoul, but that It will In the aggicgate make i very nice flgute can be leadlly esti mated. First of all, each side went over ihe voting lists and carefully selected some 10.000 or more voters, who had voted for the opposition, or who, In the opin ion of the pat ties to the contest, cast their votes for the other follvv. This was nut done at hap-haz.trd, as might be supposed. Pat ty leaders from nil over the county who could bo expected to know which way a. man voted were called In and their opinion sought In cveiy doubtful ease from their par ticular locality In this way the num ber of favorable votes attacked In cither hill of particulars was 1 educed to the minimum. Next In older was a census nf the voters who had mado defective alll duvlts Theie were over 2,000 of these. Tho two panics Jind dlffeient methods, but tho same work had to be accom plished In each Instance, and ns they differed only In detail, It Is sufficient to describe one, that of the respond ent. AFFIDAVITS EXAMINED. As the affidavits were taken out of the return envelopes dutlng the olllc lal count tho contest having been an ticipatedtwo attorneys examined them and when one was found defect ive, he would call off to a stenographer: "Olyph.int, Seventh ward. Fifth dis trict. John Smith, four, five and seven." "Four, five and seven" repiesented the reasons for which the affidavit was de fective, tho vailous possible teasons having been pievlously codified and num bet ed for lnovltv, and convenience. Instead of saying, "To whom taxes were paid not stated," Place for wit- ness' name left blank." or "Failed to state wheie naturalized," the numbeis eouesponding to these ieasont would be given. This being done, list of voters thus disqualified was eaiefully gone over, as was done with the whole list of voteis when the bill of paitlculurs was being piepared. but with oven gicater care. Not onlv weie p.utv leaders from nli over tho county called In to give Judg ment on how each man oted, but two, thiee, and sometimes half a. dozen, political workeis from each election dlstilct were Interviewed for the pur pose of confirming this judgment. When there was a well-grounded doubt tho questionable voter was sounded directly or through' some close filend When this wns all done, the attoines weie satisfied that they could tell within one hundred of how many of these defective votes were cast for their man. The lespondent attorneys had It figured out that thev had the best of the defective affidavits by 250. Net came the healings, Thej con tinued during 197 days and 13,000 wit nesses were examined, 7,000 on the con testant's side and 6,000 for the tespond ont. METHODS OF TABULATING. The methods of tabulating the find ings in each ease, as put sued by the two sets of attomeis. differed In that the contestant used a caid nnd the re spondent a book. On the contestant') cud were all the questions that 01 dl narily would be asked a witness, with a blank space after each and a space at the bottom for lemaiks. When a. witness' examination was concluded tho card beaiing the result of his ex amination was marked "good," "bad" or "doubtless," as the case might be, and tiled away in pigeon-holes, accord ing to districts. Notes weie also made In n record book for further conveni ence. The respondent's recoid book was two feet long by eighteen Inches wide, und tho whole length of two pages was utilized to keen account of each wit ness. A column was piovlded for en tering everything mateilal that could possibly bo brought out, from the num ber of his vote to the leason ho gave, If any, for calling on some one to as sist him in marking his ballot. If a favorable oter was shown to be all right, he was checked off In red Ink. If his vote was Incurably bad he was checked off In black Ink, If he was without naturalization papeis or tax receipts, but averred he had been natuialtzed or paid his tax, as the case might be, his name was enteied In an other book with a note of tho defect to bo cuted, and then a leprescntatlve of the respondent would be satisfied to Interview this voter for the purpose of Inducing him to get duplicate natuul Izatlon papers or leteipts. When he had done this, or the at torneys had done It for him, ho would be subpoenaed for further examination und the defect In his vote cured. TIIC FORM UHCD. A sample page from this "staggered'' book, as It was dubbed by the attor neys, would make Interesting rending. For Instance, an entry llko this would be seen: "John Smith, et cetera 6-11-99, nat uralized In Pittsburg but lost papers, 7-18-99, J. IJ. G. secured duplicate, 7-26-99, P. V. S. reports that he voted for Iangstnff." After having found out all they want ed to know about these thousands of voteis, the attorneys next proceeded to pick out theso they wanted to attack In their requests to the examiners. The contestant used this form In setting forth 11 prospective victim for tho con sideration of the exatnlneis. "Number of vote. C4; John .Smith, ago 35; Fifth dlstilct, Fouith waul, Moosic, did not pay taxes, received help impropeil In marking ballot and was not resident of dlstilct for pi escribed time, Vol. 11, page 61, und vol, 14, j ago 20." , The respondent had n much mote compact wny of setting this forth.

Mr. Holgate is -confident of helnsr sus tained In these contentions. Four or five months fiom now, when the examiners have filed their report, the attorneys will be called upon to 50 over It, make up a bill of exceptions and argue with the judges In an effort to convince them that they are right and the examiners wrong. AVhcn they have done all this, they will bo nearly thiough. m COCKING MAIN STOPPED. Acting Sheriff Ryan Prevents an Exhibition of a Brutal Sport.
