EASTER SERVICES.
' Handsome Decorations at the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
. .The Easten services at the Methodist
Episcopal church were unusually good.
.The church was decorated with flowers
and mosses. Lying on the walnscottlng
surrounding the entire room was fresh
ivy, and back of the choir gallery was a
large cross farmed of calla llllles and
spruce boughs. By the right of the
altar was a palm tree, probably eight
feet high, and on the pulpit and the
railing surrounding the pulpit were a

en In bloom. But the prettleBt of all
were the calla llllles, about a hundred
of, which were brought from. California
by Mrs. M. J. Fox. Their snowy white
ness made a freshness and beauty that
was unexcelled. The windows were
filled with ferns and mosses.
,- The congregation In the morning was
a i 'large one, and at the evening ser
vice tho house was filled. The
pastor announced he had been chal
lenged ta defend a statement made
Home time since, In regard to Infidelity.
Next Sunday evening he will defend
his former statements, and extends e
cordial Invitation to all Infidels and un
believers to attend, and promised no In
milts will be offered.
The beautiful anthem, "Consider the
Lilies," was sung by the choir, followed
by two recitations In behalf of the Sun
day school.
Dr. BuBhong then gave a description
of .the "Via Dola Rosa." or the "road
on which Christ walked to His cruel
flxlon." also called "The Mournful
Road." After a tribute to St. Helena,
the mother of Constantlne, because of
her having sought out and marked
places of interest on this road, and in
other places In Palestine, the preacher
carried the minds of his audience with
him to the Holy Land, showing them
Pilate's palace, the marble steps, and
on to the tomb in which Christ was
laid, and which Is now covered by
church with a dome 150 feet high. The
pastor made a personal Investigation of
the Interior of the tomb, where the
ifoUlen lamps are constantly burning,
and where are the two largest wax
candles In the world, 18 Inches thick
and 20 feet high.
Five persons Joined the church, and
at the morning service two Infants were
baptized.

THE ART Of
Jlovelty is the Hey to
and Youf Foftane Is (Dade.
DOES ndvertiHlng pay? You are often
puzzle over this problem. Some
times you think It does, and then again
you are not certain.
There are days when an attractive ad
vertisement Jimt "packs" your ""ire
with trade, and Inquiries come dilbbliiiB
in for a month afterward for articles
advertised that day. But some days
the advertisement seems to fall flat. It
is on these days that your faith grows
EhuUy, and If you do not doubt the uHl
Ity of advertising you blame the card.
If you write your own advertisements
and Imko confidence in voiirifelf. you had
better employ some one who makes ad
vertising hlH special business.
To write an original advertisement
every day In the year, on the same
never-changing theme, is very much
like taking ten yards of dress goods und
making a new and entirely different
dress of it 300 times In succession. It
takes u clever head to do cither, lie
must see the store side of the udvertlsi
ment und the customers' slJe uf it, the
one us clearly as the other. 1'nwise ad
vertising can pull down trade and ex
haust your finances more rapidly than
good advertising can build up the one
or add to the other.
Think of a house which, in the "busy
season," when everybody is buying cost
ly outer garments, wasting its advertis
ing space on three cent and live cent
notions, often not mentioning their val
uable stock once in a whole week. It It
like a sportsman who wastes his am
munition on sparrows when ducks are
flying overhead. The harvest time for
expensive merchandise is at best but a
short month or two. The cheap, litlh
profit stuff, like the poor, we have al
ways with us. If an advertiser does not
possess business wltv along with literal1:
ability, he will never make a success of
his calling. AYe often see advertise
ments without the slightest literary
merit, written in faulty English and sot
up atrociously, which nevertheless are
great advertisements great In Hull
power of attracting people. They wen
full of buMness, even though they lack
"style."
The kind of advertisements which
would prove a success for one stun
might not. do nt all, for another, even
though in the same line of business.
and perhaps located right next dimr.
The capacity for knowing his midleno
must be Innate in the writer; so nmsi
the business sense.
Remember there ure other stores, jus:
is good us yours, who sell at equally
low prices. Your only advantage and
It Is yours if you take It Is to have
better advertising than they. This does
not necessarily mean larger advertising
or more costly, for It Is not the size uf
the space thnt tells, but what is said
and how It Is said that attracts notice
and excites surloslty.
If you cannot spend $1,000 a week In
advertising, spend $C00. If you cannot
spend so much, spend $100, and If your
business will not allow ppire than $10 to
be so Invested, spend that. Do not say
there Is no advertising except In u
large way. One might as well say that
a five-cent package of seeds from the
florist will not grow as well as the same
seed bough.t In bushel quantities. Have
souu srcu umi inani 11 in good Soil, in
other words, write a good advertise
ment and put It In a good paper. Ten
dollars In The Astorian will pay for loo
lines of display advertising, no . .arei
measurement. Ono can do more with
100 lines In The Astorlan than with o0
lines in most other papers, because a
line in The Astorian means generally a
line of type, whereas those papers
which are printed In larger types, a line
of advertising display type win take up
two to ten lines of space or even more

A little study will enable you to
evolve many other attractive ways of.
setting up your ads. In The Astorlan
type. There Is hardly any limit to tho
combinations possible. Large type eat!?
space, but you are not obliged to use It
in order to nn'-p a showy ad. In Tin
Astorian. .o would advise you, U
using the plain type, to have your ad.
on those pages of The Astorlan where
all ndvers. are so set up, as then your
small ad. has an equal chance of being
seen. A plain ad. might bo lost to.
ii'W entirely when printed alongside ol
fancy type neighbors. There the con
trast is against you, but on the page
with other ads. printed In the same
type as yours the advantage of the
most attractive setting is yours If you
but choose to have It so.
The advertiser who has his eyes and
wits about him has his finger on the
public pulse and knows Its beat. In
cases of emergency his art and wit
may do wonders. Observe the unique
use which a Yankee advertiser makes
if the classics. This man had dog col
lars, name-plates and rubber stamps to
sell. It was a most unpromising theme
for what can one say of dog collars?
Here are some of the things he said:
IT IS SELDOM
IS THIS cultured city that we see signs
.n the windows announcing that "Here
we speak French," or "Here we speak
1 erman." &c. These sins are common
from New York to 'Sun Francisco. In
Boston, owing to the culture, it is taken
for granted, without the sie-ns. Ws do
engraving in any language, especially
on Dog Collars; also Door riates and
Badges, Medals, Stencils, Steel and Rib-
uer M.imps. corporation Seals, bangles,
Brands, Ribbon Hadires. Ac .TOHIM
SMITH, 2000 Blank street.
IT IS NOT
TO BE supposed that the- Mahomme?
dans look with favor upon the possibly,
ty of the rise of a Christian power to
the south of Turkey and Egypt, and If
this shrip did not fit out an expedition
for the relief of Stanley, It was solely
for the reason that we were so crowded
with orders for Door Plates that we had
no time to attend to the necessary de
tails. This we say in self-defense, as
the rumor has gone abroad that we
were favorable to the Mahommedans.
Also Badges, Medals. Stencils. Steel ant
Rubber Stamps. Corporation Seals, Dok
Collars, &c. JOHN SMITH, 20000 Blaitt
streei, ' r '
This he said every day, each time
using another Incident of past or cur
rent history, or quoting a different au
thor of ancient or modern times. Al
ways winding up with some absurd or
comical allusion, to the universal an
crying need for dog collars, name platqs,
etc., and apparently proving the Impqs?
slblltty of being happy in this world
without thjip. ? Who with a can!n,e
could re3int these appeals? Who with,
a front door would let it go bar; wha,
Indeed, would wrltie his name with pen
when a rubber stamp could be had with
which to do It? Novelty is the great
charm of advertfefrig. - Originality Is
what the world sighs for. Be original
and your fortune is made." "
