Preacher.
In the March Woman's Home Com-'
panlon l>r. Washington Chidden
WritOI IB Interesting Kastei- article
In Which he tells the following story:
"A little more than hfty years ago,
I, a young minister ol a suburban
ehurch, w?s Invited to preach, one
Sunday morning in April, at ths
Broadway Tabernacle Church, then
standing at the corner of Broadway
and Thirty-fourth street in New York
city, it happened to be Raster Sun?
day, as I knew; and although almost
no nOtlC? Ol Ihs day was taken at
that time by the non-Episcopal Prot
? ant Churches, it had been my cus?
tom to preach an Laster Mrmon, and
I ventured to bring one with me for
{hat service. There were no BaSter,
flowers, and there Was no Easter mu
tfa 1 doubt if it had occurred to
the minist, r or to any memeber of the
songregatloo ?hat it was Raator Bun
day, i thotight it prudent therefore
to make a virtual upology for prea fil?
ing a sermon on the Resurrection^
saying that while we, as the children
of the Puritans, had little to do with
sacred days, it might tu>t be unfitting
for us, on the gay when many Chria
tians were celebrating the resurrection
of our Lord, to turn out thoughts in
that direction.
"After the sermon my good and
great friend, then pastor of that
church, had just one word of com?
mendation, and that referred to the
sentence in which 1 said that we a"
Congregational lets, had little us.- for
?acred days. *i am glad,?' "he said,
'that you emphasised that fact.' The
incident will illustrate the Change
which has taken place in the atti?
tude toward the Faster festival of
the Protestant churches during the
I last half-century. It Is now the day
I of the Christian year most generally
observed in all the churches.

Washington. Feb. 2."?.?it was
stated posltlvey tonight in high ( on

With the incoming administration of
President Wilson, that the following
Cabinet appotot.ro*?ntp had been deter?
mined upon definitely'
Secretary of State, William J. Bry?

Secretary of the Treasury., William
G. MeAdoo? of Now* York.
Postmaster General, Albert s. Burle
Bon, of Texas.
Secretary of the Navy, Josephus
Daniels, of North Carolina.
The foregoing names and positions
are said to have advanced entirely
beyond the state of conjectures of gos?
sip and become finalities In the forth?
coming Cabinet list. Other places In
the Cabinet are said to be reasonably
settled with the exception of the
portfolios of war and agriculture.
The name of Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer, which has been
prominently mentioned in connection
with tiie Attorney Generalship now is
definitely eliminated, it appears that
a Cabinet position was tendered to
Mr. Palmar and declined, the expec?
tation being that lie would remain In
the House of Representatives to be In
a sense the personal representative ot
Mr. Wilson on the Important legisla?
tion about to be formulated, This
plan was carried Into partial execu?
tion late today, when the announce?
ment of Representative Burleson that
he would resign the position of chair?
man of the Democratic House caucus
at an early date was coupled with the
announcement by House leaders that.
Mr. Palmer would succeed Mr. Bur)e
son as chairman of the caucus.
111 her names which have been
prominently mentioned for the At?
torney Generalship, but which now
arc definitely eliminated from this or
other Cabinet positions, are Clian
1 ellor Walker, of New Jersey, and
Reprei mtatlve Henry, of Texas,
chane. Her Walker was highly regard?
ed and it is probably due to his own
wish's that ins name is no longer con?
sidered. Tiie determination of Rep?
resentative Burleson, of Texas, for
the Postmaster Generalship bad the
natural effect of eliminating Mr. Hen?
rys name from further consideration,
he alSO being from Texas.

importance brought up and acted on
at the meeting.

pletion of the South Carolina Western

chase lor |2,000 of the rest of the
Bultman lot for the use of the rail
road. He stated that the railway
wanted to he released from the bond
which was put up and it was order?
ed that tin- bond be returned to the
C< mipany.
It was decided to draw up a reso?
lution pledging tile income of the City
for $20,000, when it was needed, in

Information.
Mr. Tooth reported that Mr. II. J.
McLaurin, Jr., was anxious to pur?
chase the Ashevllle gray horse from
the city and had offered $275 for it.
Mr. Booth stated that the horse,
while a tine one, was too high strung
for a fire horse, it had given trou
bble on several occasions, but was
working well just now. He thought
that it would be a good proposition
to sell the horse arid replace it with
a heavier one. Tile city manager also
thought that a better horae could be
omtaincd for the money as a tire
horse. It was decided to sell the horse
for $300, if Mr. McLaurin would pay
that for it.
A petition from plumbers of the
city for a reduction In license from
$2.50 a thousand to $1.00 a thousand
on income was refused. While dis?
cussing this matter the question of
digging up Main street for installing

dinance requiring a payment of a
$25 I'm" whenever the brick had to
be taken UP for BUCh B connection to
be put In.

side cd' Chestnut street was referred
to the City Manager for investigation.
The City Manager reported that a
ton of hard coal was being used every
two weeks at the lire department In
keeping steam up In the engine. He
thought this was a big expense and
some change ought to he made. The
matter was referred to Mr. Booth and
the City Manager for investigation
and action.
a number of bills w as read and or?

The City Manager repotted that the
work on Mary Street was progress?

lay the line under the railroad tracks
or to cross a corner of the Richer es?
tate, He advised that latter course
ami the matter of securing permis?
