raster and rs traditions.

April was called Oster monah - the
month of the Ost-end wind wind from
the east) Easter is. therefore, the April
feast which lasted eight days. Our
Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after
the first full moon after March 81. II
may fall as early as March % or as late as
April 25. 1t was formerly common be-
lief that the sun danced ON Easter
day. Easter or pascha eggs are SYM
boicai of creation or the re-crea-
tion of spring. The practice of pre-
senting eggs TO our friends of Easter is
Magian or Persian, and bears allusion to
the mundane egg. for which Ormuzed
and Ahriman We're to contend till the
cobsummation of all things. 1t prevailed
also among the Jews, Egyptians and
Hindoos. Christians adopted the custom
to symbolize the resurrection, and they
color the eggs red in allusion TO the blood
of their redemption. There is a tradition,
also. that the world was created at Easter
tide.

TO SAVE THE STATE $500
A Bill That Proposes to Reduce the
Pay of the Militia.
specia, to the Jersey city Mems


TRENTON, March 26, 1890. Mr. Stull, at
the request of the Speaker, introduced a
bill in the House this morning which will
interest the militiamen throughout the
State, 1t is No. 456 and reduces the pay
of the officers and enlisted men in attend
ance at the State Encampment one-third.
The bill was prepared by the State
Military Board and was intended to re.
duce the cost of maintaining the militia.
When the matter was under discussion
at the recent meeting of the Board a
proposition was made to abolish the cam p
for year or two.
The Governor emphatically said no. and
declared that the benefit derived from
the camp amply compensated the State
for the outlay.
1t was pointed out that as New Jersey
lay between the two great cities of New
York and Philadelphia, it was absolutely
necessary to keep the National Guard up
to to the highest degree of proficiecy pos
sible
Other States were doing this through
the medium of annual encampments, and
1t was imperative that New Jersey should
keep pace with them. The proposition
was then made to reduce the pay of the
men. as contemplated by Mr.. StuIl's
bill. BY this measure about $500 will
be saved to the State annually.
The amount to which the pay of the
men VIII be reduced, 81 per day, is that
at which the pay was originally fixed
when the scheme of encampment was
first prepared.
When the measure came before the
Assembly Mr.. Youngblood, of Morris,
who was the Holman of that House, OBJ
jected to it upon the ground of expense.
In fit of sarcasm he moved to make the
pay 81. so per day, thinking thereby to kill
fhn m MnPh hic ri IN a
amendment was accepted and the bill
passed

Typographical Union No. "a had red
hot political convention Of its own in
Stier's Hall. The excitement among the
printers was due to proposal to send
delegate to the international Union con-
vention, to be held at Atlanta, Ga, in
June. Some opposition was raised to it
on the ground that local interests de-
manded the funds of the union at the
present time; but the majority voted in
favorof clecting delegate.
Jerry Carey, of the Journal, and
"Johnnien McKaig, of the Meas were
put in nomination. with the result that
-.Johnnie" was elected by good vote,
which came from his own chapel COM
rades and those Of the Hoboken Ncaos.
The Agita ton Committee for the city
printing and contract work generally for
union labor made an encouraging report,
and were instructed to send delegation
to wait on the Mayoralty candidates for
the purpose of ascertaining their views
on the matter.

ously sick netted $40, and the chairmen
of chapels will solicit subscriptions in the

I9HE GRANT In THE COVE
Shall the Police Fight to

After Mr.. Feeney Has Poked Sticks
at MIR. Benson on the Suspicion
That He Is the One "Good'
Commissioner.

The three members of the Polics
Board last night held conference at
Police Headquarters to determine upon
line Of action in reference to the protec-
tion of the city property from the en-
croachments of the Central Railroad at
the South Cove grant
As the members took their seats Presi-
dent Feeney, with magnificent attempt
at sarcasm, bitingly remarked
Il am glad. gentlemen, to see we are
working together in such harmony.
While there is only one good member OF
the Board harmony would scarcely be
expected"
Editor Benson, tri1e confused, at
tempted to relieve his embarrassment by
pitching headforemost into the subject
which brought the three great grand po-
lice moguls together.
"But l say" repeated Mr.. Feeney,
laughing, while there is only one good
member
"Now. now; let up,s interrupted Mr..
Benson, good naturedly; ''don' t hold me

to business. Mr.. Benson said he felt that
the Police Board should know its posi-
