How boats, tugs ana other light crafts were in great demand, and the fortunate possessors thereof reaped a harvest in ferry fares.

ItORter the of the I.oonl Militia. Preparations for active service at short notice in the event of war have transformed the armories of the District National Guard into beehives of activity. The District organization is directly under the order of the President and will he the first of the national guard organization's to be called into service. In this respect the local guard s.ands ahead of the guard in the States. It is easily seen then why there is such hurry and bustle at the armories, and why the physical examination of the men, and recruiting to fill up vacancies has been pushed so much during the last two weeks.

The work of recruitng has been the most onerous, this being due in a great measure to its importance. Nearly LTT" wh, mufered Oil! WnOn tnoir 15TTV1 nf Alii cimnnf T-o out have re-cnlistoJ, nnl a prominent member of the staff last night in conversation with .1 Times reporter, said that the desire to re-on'ist ws.s so gre.it that it was diflicuJt to recruit the men as fast as was There is no lack of men, once members of the citizen soldiery of the ity, who want to "go to war," and the suceeas of the rocruitirg of the last two weeks speaks well for the patriotism of the people of the National Capital. If the President a tron? rr.e.sage to Congress to Jay the v'trd jvubably be pressed into service on Tuesday. One of the plans is ro ton.l the regular (roots at Fort Washington, Fort Myer and the "Washington Barracks to the scene of action, and fill their places with the soldiers of the guard. Another plan is to order the guard to go into camp somewhere in the District for about a week, at the ex-piiation of which time the progress ofthe plan of the compaign against the enemy will no doubt be developed far enough to warrant the dispatching of the guard to the front somewhere.

The Times has secured the following roster of the guard, corrected to a late hour last night: General stafi Brig. Gen. George II. Barries; Lieut. Gen.

ALOYSIUS CHTJBCH. Itev. Father Case- Deliver the Banter Sruioii. Easter was celebrated at St. Aloysius's with all the pomp and ceremony with which the Catholic Church loves to honor this most glorious festival in its ecclesiastical year.

Rev. Father Aloysius Brosnan, S. was the celebrant of the 11 o'clock mass, with Rev. Father John Moore, S. of Frederick, as deacon and Mr.

Gorman, S. subdeacon. The magnificent choir, under the direction of Prof. Kubel, organist, was accompanied by a full orchestra of string and brass instruments, and the sermon was delivered by Rev. James Casey, S.

vice president of Gonzaga College. Taking for hisUtext the words of Psalms 117 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us be glad and rejoice therein" the speaker said, in explanation: "We are glad and rejoice today, first and chiefly because of the triumph of Jesus over death. He had made a threefold sacrillce and is crowned today with threefold glory. He had made the sacrifice of His own body, of Ills honor and of the inward consolations of the soul, and today his body rises from the tomb all glorified; Jerusalem is filled with the glory of His name; His simple grave has become the pilgrimage of the whole civilized world, and fullness of joy is His portion for evermore. We rejoice for our own sakes be cause the resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith.

It is the most splendid of all His miracles and is attended by circumstances which make it the most conspicuous and most incontrovertible proof of His divinity. If Christ has risen from the grave, then His doctrines are divine and the church which He founded is a divine and not a human Institution. "The resurrection is also a sure guarantee of our future resurrection. 'He Is the first fruits of them that Death, then, Is but a sleep and all is not ended for the body with the grave. Our Redeemer, in robbing the grave of its victory, gives us an assurance of our own blissful immortality.

'I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, although he be dead, shall live, and everyone that liveth and believeth In me shall not die What a solace for aching hearts in that sweet anthem! What music for the soul! It dries the tears of anguish in the grief of parting with loved ones and whispers to the soul the soothing words of the apostle that. 'Concerning them that are asleep we be not sorrowful, as others who have no hope; for If we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so- them that have slept through Jesus God will bring with The prelate concluded by exhorting his hearers to Imitate the martyrs and saints who kept their gaze steadfastly fixed on their risen Savior. "He marks out for us the path to eternal glory. When difficulties biet us in the performance of duty and in the observance of God's commandments, let us remember: Tlijt when our wills fliall leave thK dwelling, 'flic slor of one fair and irtuous action Is aliove all the escutcheons on our tomb Or bilk'cn banners alue us. "This shall be the fruit of the resurrection, with the sick that wore healed and the dead that were raised to life; with the sea that stood firm beneath his sacred feet when the Redeemer walked on Its waters, with the earth that quaked, and the rocks that were rent, and the graves that were opened.

(St. Mat. xxviii); with tlie sun that was darkened when He closed his eyes in that short sleep of death; with the angels who sang on the iir.st Easter morn, tho glories of their risen King, let us, too, adore His divinity and pledge our loyalty to Him; to follow Him even in his sufferings, that we may share one day the joys of Ills resurrection and in the splendor of the Eternal Day."
