UPON GIBBONS RETIREMENT.
The Army and Navy Journal is authority
for the statement that upon the retirement
of Brigadier-G General Gib6On in April it is
expected that the Division of the Pacific.
Department OF California and Department
of Columbia viii be merged into one large
department, to be called the Department of
the Pacific At least the Secretary is said
to be seriously considering the proposition.
The argument used in its support Is that
the number OF commands will thus conform
to the number of commanders and with the
least possible change from the present ar
rangement. Should this plan be carried
out the senior Brigadier-General would in
all probability be transferred t. the new de-
partment. The imp esSiOn is gaining ground
among War Department officials that

MISCELLANEOUS
Spring Fever

At this time of the year the blood changes,
its circulation is sluggish and the system
is not properly nourished. The result is
loss of appetite, weakness, an oppressive
feeling Of fullness, too hot, and Oh ! so
tired. To cure and prevent Spring Fever
take Simmons Liver Regulator. All nature
is now waking and everybody should
invigorate the liver, kidneys and bowels
with Simmons Liver Regulator and they
would not have so much biliousness, head
ache, dyspepsia and malaria all the rest of
the year. You would not expect plant
to work off winters decay and bloom as
good as ever without attention in the
Spring. Don't expect it of your system.

Week Services Their Significance.
Closing Days of Lent.

Yesterday. according to church calendars,
was Palm Sunday, the first day of the clos
ing week of Lent, known throughout
Christendom as Holy Week.
In the Roman Catholic communion the
day is characterized by the striking cere-
mony of the blessing of palms, which takes
place in all of Its churches Immediately
before the last or principal mass IF the day.
The branches of palm or olive used in the
ceremony are held to symbolic victory over
the prince of death and the coming of a
spiritual JUNCTION. They are distributed
among the clergy and laity after being
blessed. and. in Catholic countries, are
generally worn ON the dress during the re-
mainder of the day.
In the mass the most striking feature of
that sacred ceremony is what is popularity
termed the "lOng gospel" This is the
history of the Passion OF our Lord accord
ing to st. Matthew, during the recital OF
which the palms are held in the right hand
by the clergy and congregation.
HOLY WEEK SERVICES.
During the week the Passion, as related
by the other Evangelists. will be read in the
Holy Sacrifice, aud on Wednesday. Thurs

tenebT8 will be chanted in the principal
churches.

Blessed Sacrament will be COMMUNICATED
in all of the Catholic churches by very i'm
pressive services, and the Sepulchre or
repository in which the cOnsecrated ele-
ments are deposited until the following day
will be decorated with great splend0r. Tie
day is known as Maundy, or Holy Thurs
day.
GOOD FRIDAY.
Friday will be Good Friday" the most
solemn day of the year, upon which the
cruciiixon and death OF Christ is celebrated.
The mass of the pre-sanctified and the
alteration of the cross are the prominent
features of the services, in addition to which
the "Three Hours Agony is sometimes
preached in the churches of the religious
orders.
On Saturday the Easter-water is blessed
the baptisma-wa is c0nSecrated with
the holy oils, the lights are rekindled, and
NJ the GLORIA i'll Excelsio" the bells, which
had been hushed during the preceding
three days, ring out gladstone peal. The
lenten fast then comes to an end, and
preparations are at once begun for the cele-
bratiOn of Chris,'s resurrection on Easter
Sunday.

Exponents of nelsarte.

A delightful entertainment was given last
Thursday evening under the auspices of the
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church by Miss
Myrtle Ketcham and Miss Evelyn Allen, the
talented elecutionists OF this city, assisted by
fourteen charming Young ladies of Kountze
Place. The entertainment was Delsartean in
character, recitations by Misses Ketcham
anu Allen being interspersed by series OF at
titudes to depict the various emotions and
feelings of the soul. Tho young ladies made
pretty pictures, in their delicately tinted
gowns; as, at the call of the leader, they took
expressive poses or formed themselves in
groups of recon Citation, curiosity or lamen-
tation or glided through the pantomimes of
salutes and farewell. Miss Ketcham and
Miss Allen held their audience in rapt atten-
tion during their selections. There were
several hits that created considerable en-
thusiasm and won Tor them well merited en-
cores. THE Bells" by both young ladies
was unusual and charming, showing the
highest voice culture. The flight of Emily,
from David Copperfeld," proved Miss
Allen to be a young woman of fine dramatic
discrimination
Miss Ketcham's rendition of Lord Dun
dreary's Riddle" was keenly appreciated by
the audience and showed remarkable elocu-
tionary ability.
