EASTER IS

MARRED

BY WINTRY BLASTS However, Skies Were Clear and the Spirit of Easter Was Everywhere. Under fair weather conditions, marked only by a stiff breeze, Easter Day, with its flowers, gay pageants of color and inspiring religious services was observed in 'Richmond yesterday. Restrictions of the Lenten season being discarded, joyous throngs filled the churches for both morning and evening services. The annual "parade" did not take place yesterday because of the wintry blast which swept the streets of the city in the afternoon and rollicked among the Easter bonnets of those few who ventured out to display their new spring finery. Practically every church in the city celebrated the day by special musical programs. The interiors of many of the churches presented effective floral decorations.. Late strollers on Saturday night believed that Easter would be marred by stormy weather but after a disagreeable night, during which it seemed certain that rain would continue throughout Sunday, the skies cleared and with the exception of the breeze the day was ideal. Richmond florists declare that they reaped a greater harvest than for many previous years. Flowers of all sorts were sold in enormous quantities for three days prior to Easter. By Saturday night the counters in .the floral shops were cleaned, every flower available having been sold. The delivery wagons of the floral shops were kept busy until late at night. Fish Delusions. There are two popular delusions about fish one that they cannot live out of water and the other that they can live in any pure water, the food supply taking care of itself. As a matter of fact, there are fish in Africa which, having to exist In absolutely dry rivers for a portion of the year, have developed lungs, while In many an amateur's aquarium fish cannot live in the water provided owing to lack of food.

A NAVY DESERTER IS ARRESTED HERE

Elmer Griffin, sent to the Plainfield reform school several years ago, released on good behavior on parole, and who joined the navy, deserting seven j months ago, as he says, was arrested ; yesterday morning at eight o'clock by j Officers Vogelsong and Lawler at his ! home on North Second street. He had been living there for three months un-! known to the police. The charge ' placed against him is a violation of his 1 parole from the Plainfield institution. t He says he did not violate bis parole. : He states he joined the navy and had served about five months when he deserted. He said he drifted around ov-1 er the country, coming back to this j city to live. He has been employed at 1 the Gaar-Scott company plant. The j local officers wired to Plainfield telling of the arrest, and late this after-: noon received a reply saying officers ' from Plainfield would arrive tonight or j Tuesday to get the young man. !

The plaintiff states that they were married January j 7, 1899, and separated in June, 1900. i The complainant alleges that since j that time the defendant has failed to j contribute towards her support or that of their child, John, aged 11 years. She also asked the custody of the child. Bathing an Elephant. The elephant's bath takes a week to carry out in every detail. It requires the services of three men, and It costs $300. This treatment is necessary for a circus elephant, and if the animal Is a valuable one the proprietor of the circus does not consider the money wasted. The first process consists In going over the immense body with the best soap procurable: 150 pounds of soap is used, and the elephant's ears are especially carefully attended to. When the soaping and drying are completed the elephant is well sandpapered and after that rubbed all over with the purest Indian oil until the mouse gray skin Is supple and glistening. This last touch is the most expensive part of the bath, as $150 has to be spent on the oil alone. Philadelphia Record.

FIVE NEW PLAYERS SIGNED BY BRAXTON

Five new men were signed by the Richmond baseball association yesterday. The names of the five men. who include two pitchers, an outfielder, catcher and first basemen are not given out. Team manager Braxton is also attempting to secure a short stop. The schedule for the K. I. O. league is expected to be announced about the latter part of this week. The league managers are awaiting the announcement of the railroad excursion dates. A number of the Richmond players practiced at Athletic park yesterday and all are expected to bo out for practice next Sunday. Secretary Peck today forwarded $75 to the K. I. O. League treasurer as forfeit money. Peck is negotiating with a few teams in this part of Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio for games prior to the opening of the league. "There will be no Indiana-Ohio league team ia this city this year, as has been reported," said Peck today, 'as I will not lease the Athletic park to any other league team." v TOMB IN A TOWER. A Remarkable Edifice, the Whim of a Wealthy Tea Planter. Near the well known seaport of Southampton, England, there is a remarkable edifice known as Petersen's tower. The erection is all the more singular because It marks the burying place of a certain John Petersen, a wealthy tea planter. The man appears to have been rather an eccentric individual, and in order to prove to the world his belief In concrete as a building material set about the construction of this great tower. The building took many years to complete, but is entirely of concrete and by the time the final layers had been placed had reached an altitude of mere than 300 feet. It Is about forty years since the tower was erected, and its present condition is certainly a justification of the faith of the builder. As has been indicated. Petersen left instructions that his body should be placed under the tower, and this was accordingly carried out. Another desire that the chamber at the summit should contain a light was defeated by the firm stand which Trinity House, the lighthouse authority, took on the matfer. Such an illumination would have been visible for miles out to sea and would naturally have proved very misleading to sailors. Scientific American. ' .
