" The Way we look at It,
There are two values to a purchase what it costs and what it is
worth. It matters little what you pay, within reasonable
bounds; it matters a great deal what you receive in return for
the expenditure. Reckoning on this basis, our line of wal
paper, window shades, curtain poles and room mouldings stands
pre-eminently at the head of anything in this section of the
county. We are sure we can please you in quality and price
if you will but take the time to see and ascertain prices on these

From the solemn service of Good Fri
day to the Easter carols and anthems
which were heard throughout Christen
dom yesterday was a significant change
to all Christians. The one signifying the
death and agony of the Saviour and the
other His glorious resurrection made the
observance of the two days full of mean
ing and hope to the devout people of this
Christian land. The end ot the penlten
tial season which was celebrated last
evening, and which commemorates the
rising of Jesus Christ from the dead, was
an occasion of rejoicing throughout the
town. The churches were all decorated
In the finest flowers of the spring, and
the .services that pronounced glad titllnps
exultingly sung by the choirs. The mln
lsters.and priests, were listened to with
rapt attention by vast and overflowing
congregations.
The exhibition of flowers, which were
seen at this Eastertide, nas probably
never been equalled, and certainly
never surpassed. There appeared to be
a plethora pf flowers everywhere and, as
tho prices were low, It was possible for
the poor as well as the rich to decorate
their homes on Easter day. Ever since
the first observance of Easter, which
began In the early Gentile church and
spread to the western church and to
Egypt, flowers have played an important
part, and each year the displays have
been larger and more beautiful. The
floral decorations in the different churches
were elaborate. Easter Miles, azaleas
the English yellow genastas, hyacinths
nnd roses' were the most prominent
flowers used.
Ei9ter day has always been looked for
ward to by a vast multitude of young
women and these who are not so young.
because on that day they can bloisom
forth In their new spring gowns, hats and
wraps. Tne old custom or inaKlng waster
day the occasion for putting on the new
spring clothes is losing ground among
many people, who do not care to nave
their clothes examined, written about,
pictured and criticised. The day being
clear and warm, was taken advantage o(
by the young ladles, and the streets were
all crowded until a late hour.
.Easter morning, dawned gloriously yea
terday and the people fully realized that
)t. was Indeed a "day of joy to all the
world." Among the appropriate services
of the day was that held in the German
Lutheran church on West Cherry Btreet,
Here the morning service was a most
Impressive on,e. It. was opened by the
inspiring Easter anthem composed by
Prof. Wonenberger, of Reading
entitled, "Fuercbtet Euch Nlcht
Be nob afraid") which was ren
dered with beautiful effect by th
church choir. The baritone solo by Mr
Frederick Gruhler was very effective,
Rev. John Gruhler the pastor, preached a
nowerful and impressive sermon on the
cp'stle for the day taken from 1 Cor. 5
68. The large congregation listened to
the discourse with marked attention and
was evidently well pleased with It. The
choir rendered the beautiful Easter
anthem "Rejoice in the Lord," after
which the holy communion was ad
ministered.
Easter was also very appropriately ob
served In the Methodist Episcopal Sunday
school yesterday by .the junior depart'
ment. A program of sacred ruusio, rectta
tlons and other exercises was rendered at
two o'clock in the afternoon. There was
singing and scripture reading by the
school, prayer by the pastor, recitations
by Miss Mary Wasley, Fred, Hutton
Ralph Matter, Miss Josephine Daddpw
and Arthur Delcamp ; addresses by
Mr. H, E. Dengler.Dr, J. S. Callen and
the nastor: solos bv Miss Ruble Yost
jMlss Maud Gilpin and Miss Bella Brown ;
violin solo by Miss Eva Brewer ; religious
fantasia by Messrs. Hough, Church and
Hutton; a contralto and bass duett by
Miss Sallle Wasley a,pd,Mr. Jesse Hugh.es ;
a poem by three little girls, and a poem
and song by Misses Llewellyn. and Prlpe,
The exercises .were., exceedingly lnterestr
lng and very appropriate to an observance
of the day.
The service in tho Trinity Reformed
church last night was beautiful and ini
presslvo. The altar, chancel and pulpit
were beautifully decorated with' flpwers
and draped with lace, bringing put ex
quisitely the beautiful oil painting of
the resurrection of Christ in the pulpit
alcove. The congregation celebrated the
noly Communion both morning and even
ing. It was the largest communion gather
ing in the history of the congregation.
The singing of the "Gloria Patrl" and
the chanting of the Lord's Prayer by the
choir and congregation were grand. The
choir rendered two beautiful anthems
"The Lord U Risen" and "The Golden
Gates." The singing of the latter brought

Robert O'Boyle, was a verympresslve
one. Tne text was taken from tbe?gospel
lesson for Easter Sunday In St. Matthew
'He is not here, for he is risen." TH,

tion were very liberal. They will bo

A large audience attended the services
in the Primitive Methodist church yester
day. While the floral display in the
church was not large It was beautifully
emblematical of the rosurrection. The
morning service consisted of reception of
mombers, a short address by the pastor
on the crucifixion and resurrection.and the
administering' of the Holy Communion.
In the evening the choir rendered a most
appropriate Easter service entitled, "Mary
of Bethany," The service and anthem of
the entiie day were of a character that
elicited the praise of the attendants, who
were in large numbers both morning and
evening.
The services in several of the churches
passed without special preparation. The
Presbyterian church was tastefully de
corated with Easter flowers. Rev.
Llnhtenwalner preached a sermon on the
resurrection in the Evangelical church on
West Cherry street.

EASTERAT GIRARDVILLE.

special to Evening Herat.!?.
GIRARDVILLE, April 15. The Easter
services in the Zlons Lutheran church at
this plate attracted a very large attend
ance both in the morning and evening and
were of a very beautiful character,
especially the latter, service. Rev. E. O
Leopold can feel proud of the work he has
done in the church during his pastorate
of two and a half years. When he took
chnrge the congregation was In a very
discouraging btate, but it is now in a
most prosperous condition. The evening
Bervice commenced with an organ prelude
by Prof. James S. Bardslcy, of Philadel
phlnnnd was followed by a soprano solo
by Miss Emma Leitenberger, of Mahanoy
City, entitled "There is a Green Hill Far
Away." The rendition of this solo was
very artistic and there was scarcely
nn eye without a tear upon Its conclu
slon. Rev. Leopold preached the sermon
on a text from St. Matthew XVIII; 7-8. The
discourse treated on the resurrection of
Christ and his mission on earth fulfilled.
The choir rendered tne anthem, "Son ot
Man Glorified," very sweetly. The holy
communion was administered tp about
125 people, seventeen being boys and girls
who were confirmed by Rev. Leopold on
Palm Sunday. They were William Roy
Fetterman, Philip Portz, William H.

believed that the West Shenandoah cbR

weeks while the new hoisting engines
were being placed, would be ready to
start up with the rest of the collieries
tomorrow, but such hope was given upon
Saturday, There are some finishing
touches to be made to the Improvements
and they will take up two or three days
of this week, so that the colliery will
hardly resume operations before next
Monday. The new sheaves are not in
place yet and the tracks of the slope
must be raised and otherwise arranged
fpr the hoisting of three cars at a time.
Heretofore only two cars have been
hoisted. The Cambridge colliery re

Fahey Lost the Race.
Martin Fahey, the sprinter of town,
lost the one hundred yard race at South
Bethlehem on Saturday with Michael
Ryan, ot Phllllpsburg, for $250 a sitla
The latter practically ran away from the
Shenandoah man, winning by about
eight feet. Fahey says he was over
trained. The track, was in an awful
muddy .and sloppy condition. The Shin
andoah delegation on the grounds offered
odds as high as 3 to 1 on Fahey, but could
find no takers. The Bethlehemltea did
not seem to have confidence in the Jersey
man. It was fortunate for the Shenan
doahites the Bethlehem people did not
bite at the offers, for one ot the former
had 000 In cold cash to put out on the
race. Tftls is tne nrst race t aney nas lost
in his long career. It was an eye-opener,
too. The general belief now is that
Fahey is not in Ryan's class.
