The play presented was the great war and naval drama, The Signal of Liberty, In which Iss Gertrude Shipman, as Agnes Gartwrlgbt, the correspondent, and Lawrence B. McGill Lieutenant Ralph Dunoar, of the United States Navy, were the piacipais.

The support was excellent. The scenery was especially worthy of mention The Great Festival Observed as it Never Was Belore In' This City. Beautiful and Fragrant Flowers Made Every sanctuary In the City a Bower of Beauty. An ideal day In every respect was the Easter cf the closing year of the nineteenth mtury. Neither dust, nor mud nor any condition of weather departing from almost perfect clearness and balmt-ness appeared to spcril the display of pretty frocks ar.d bonnets carefully planned and executed for the adornment of femininity or serve as an excuse for non-attendance at some one of the religious services held honor of the great festival.

The Sunday school had an easter service arranged and well executed by Superintendent M. B.

Gibson. It consisted of singing by the Infant department selections by the main school, singing by a class of young girls, a solo by Master Byron Fleck, a duet by Miss Mollle Frey and George Bollinger, and a short address by the pastor. The school under the vigorous leadership of its superintendent, reached its highest attendances of 471, with a collection ol $26. The primary department presented each child with an easter basket. The evening service was also largely attended It was an Easter service of song.

Bes'de thi usual congregational siDglng there was a duet by Miss Mollle Frey and George Bolli iger, and two male quartet selections. Instead of preaching a fegu ar sermon the pas or read a beautiful Easter poem entitled, An Easter Lily. Lho offcrlrgs for the day for benevolence amounted to 193.

H. Weber. At 3 p. the Sunday schools connected with lh-church celebrated their anniversary, and; with the assistance of an orchestra of five pieces, produced a beautiful'servlce of re citation and song by the Haliwack of Philadelphia, entitled, Immortality and L'ght. The manner In which the participants acquitted themselves was another evidence of the high character of these services at St.

Pauls. A solo by Miss Yinger, of tba infant school entitled, Beautiful Flowers of Easter, was so well sung that It is de serving of special mention. As Is custom ary at this season, several hundred scholars were presented with books a reward for attendance at Sunday school every Sabbath during the past year and for committing Bible verses.

The war office had nothing to communicate to Ua public yesterday. It may be taken for granted that the rumor of General Brabants victory at Wepener Is premature. With the remainder of hls force he left Allwa north Saturday for Rouxvllle, and there has scarcely been time for an engagement. -There Is practically no fresh news this morning. All the Bloemfontein despatches, however, breathe a confident tone.

There seem9 to be a heavy demand the railway lor so large an leaves the populace bare of everything save tha absolute necessities of life. The fact the the censors allowed Winston Churchill's despatch on the subject remounts to pass speaks volumes for the prospects of any Immediate advance toward Pretoria. The despatches announce the approach winter. The first pinch of frost has been felt at Bloemfontein, where considerable rain has fallen. It Is said that President Kruger visited the Boer camp at Kroocstadt as well as Braodfort.

BRITISH ARM NATIVES. Three Thousand Baauto Are Guard Near Wepenar. MA8UEU, Basutoland, April 14. Sir Godfrey British resident commissioner, returned here yesterday(Frldsy) from the scene of operations near Wepener. He and tbeparamountchief have stationed 3,000 armed natives to resist possible Boer entrenchments.

The orders of the resident commanders are that theBasu-tos are not to be allowed to cross the Free State frontier on any pretence whatever. Two natives who crossed and looted an abandoned Boer farm are now In enstody. Colonel Dalgetys position is strong and well chosen, but he is completely Bui-rounded. The Boers have their backs against Basutoland, and If they stay much longer they will be hemmed In, The British operations are keenly watched from tha neighboring heights. Shelling and snipping have been going on steadily during the last six days.

Colonel Dalgetys guns are admirably served and there Is no waste of ammunition. The Boers when they see the electric flash of the cordlt bolt behind walls. So near are the Boers and the Bosuto guards that they converse. The ambulances are close to the border, bat tha killed and wounded are not removed until nightfall in order to conceal the number of casualties. The Boers are fatigued and tbelr horses are tired and footsore.

The Boers attacked fiercely the British northern position on Monday April 9, but they were beaten back at daybreak. MADS GRAVE MISTAKE. General Alger Expresses HI View ua Dewey Candidacy.

Colonel Schlel walked to the citadel, declining a carriage that was placed at hls disposal. Brabant Victorious!

H. H. Weber, York, makes announcement of the following special loan funds, just founded. First The David Emmitt loan fund of five thousand dollars. This fund is founded In honor of the late Major David Emmitt, of York, a former member of this board and one of Its most zealous workers.

Major Emmitt took a special interest In St. Lukes Lutheran church of York, which he built and deeded to the Board of Church Extension In trust for St. Lukes congregation, to vihlch he bequeathed a sum approximating fourteen tbous and dollars. In hls will he made the Board of church Extension hls residuary egatee and appointed Arthur King, A.M., of Middletown, Pennsylvania, and M. Spahr.of York, both members of the Board bfChureh his executors.

At the time of hls death, owing to the temporary depression In real estate, the residuary legatee would have received little or nothlcg. The executors, however, by careful nursing and keen business judg inent, made the assets valuable, paid off all specific bequests, Invested well the egacy to St. Lukes Lutheran church, and are now able to turn over to the Board of Church Extension as Its share a sum approximating 15,000. The Board of Church Extension has, therefore, decided to found this special fund, to be called "The David Emmitt Loan Fund, of five thousand dollars, whose principal Is forever to be kept Intact, and that shall fittingly keep fresh in the minds of the church the generosity of one of her most Interested workers.

YORK CITY LAUNDRY, King street. Cheap Refrigerators at the York Furniture Co. Crowd Great Bat American Bavllton Was Closed. Pabis, April 15 Glorious weather favored the opening of the exposition to the general public today, and immense crowds flocked Into the grounds. The area of the exhibition, however, Is so great that nowhere was there any crush.

The visitors were mainly composed of provincials and foreigners, comparatively few Parisians were to ba seen. Aware of the great badkwardness of the preparations they remained away for the most part. The management demanded two entrance tickets for morning admission, one for afternoon admission and two daring the evening, when the Eiffel tower and the palaces on the Champ de Mars were Illuminated. But there were absolutely no attractions provided, not even a band of music. Visitors who left the central arteries found their passage way filled with pitfalls and heapfd with debris, some thoroughfares resembling mere bridle paths.

The crowd, however, was good-natured and took tbe matter philosophically. Hardly a murmur was heard anywhere In the way of criticism. The American national pavilion remained closed. So, also, did most of the other pavilions, for the excellent reason that their Interiors are still unfinished. BRUTAL CRIMJfi OF fBAMPS.
