Che ddhita Daily Eagle: Sunday gloruue, April 2, 1891

The name Easter is probably derived
from the Teutonic goddess of spring,
Ostera, or Os<tre. whose festival occurs
about the same time as the observance
of Easter. Lent is derived from the
Anglo-Saxon word lene.en, which means
''spring," and has no connection at all
with fasting, as some people imagine.
Itwas not until the fourth century
that there was any regularity about the
fixing the date of Easter Sunday. Those
of the early Christians who believed
the Christian Passover to be COM
memora ton of Christ's death adhered
to the custem of holding the Easter fes-
tival on the day prescribed for the jew
ish pasch, the fourteenth day OF the
first month: that is. the lunar month,
of which the fourteenth day either falls
on or next after the day of the vernal
equinox.
But most of the Christian churches,
attaching greater Importance to the day
Of Christ's resurrection, held to Easter
being celebrated on the Sunday which
followed the fourteenth day of the
moon of March, the day on which Christ
suffered.
This difference was finally settled by
the Council of Nice, in the year 325.
The rule then adopted is still in force.
Easter is always the Sunday after the
full moon which happens on or next
after March 21-the vernal equinox. By
this arrangement, Easter may come as
early as March % or as late as April %.

In Christian countries, from the
fourth century, the church prohibited
the use OF eggs during the forty days OF
Lent; but as the hens did not cease 10
lay, a large quantity of eggs were
found TO have accumulated al the end
of the period of abstinence These were
usually given To the children. and, in
order to render them more attractive,
they were dyed with gay colors or
otherwise ornamented- A tavorite game
was TO knock two eggs together, and
whichever broke became the properly
of him who had the other. OF course
this would not profit much If the eggs
were in fluid state, and thence came
the custom of boiling them hard

In northern Missouri, and Alf Garrett
married her. There had been so much
rivalry in this affair that the courtship
was referred to as ''hard fight" ALI
was an impressive fellow, and 1t was said
that he had mighty Enack' for MAX
ing living, and yet Mallie's surrender
to him was the cause of great surprise;
for the consensus of opinion was, "why,
she could have married anybody" 1t
was undoubtedly a fact that she could
have married Sol Bidney, and people
wondered why she didn't, for Sol had
considerable money and was much
handsomer man than Aft Garrett.
Where there has been much rivalry
during courtship, there is likely to be
discord after marriage. Recollection is
a splteful promoter of dissension-it
brings back rose-hued chances and pits
them against dull-colored possession.
In Alfrs nature there was but little of
the poetic, and yet the most delicate
nature could not have found him ohjec,

WASHINGTON HORROR.
A Verdict Arrived at by the Coroner's
Jury.
They Hold Colonel Ainsworth and Three
Others Responsible for the Killing
of LOTUS and Others.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-It was decided
by Coroner Patterson today that Colonel
Ainsworth should not be summoned to
appear as witness before the coroner
jury investigating the cause of the Ford g
theatre disaster. As Colonel Ainsworth
was not willing to appear as an ordinary
citizen he thought nothing could be
gained by calling him in an official ca
pacity.
The testimony this morning principally
had reference to the character OF the ma
terial used by Contractor Dant in doing
the work beneath the old theatre build
ing.
Witnesses testified to selling Dant the
best of materials, but when shown sam
pies taken from the debris, said they
were poor materials and not the same as
sold.
A builder named CIarkson, testified
that the building as it now stands was III
dangerous condition.
Captain Sharpe, chief of the supply
division of the war department, was
called and questioned as to the bond
given by Dant: "There is no bond, -
said Captain Thorpe, 1.-THE bond was
drawn up, but Dant came to him and said
the man who was going on the bond was
brick contractor, and that he ought moi
go on. Witness consulted with Colonel
Ainsworth and Dant had been told TO GO
on without bond. Witness said he
should certainly consider, as Superinten-
dent Covert should have reported, any
danger in connection with the building
! Colonel Ainsworth, said the witness, was
in charge of the building and responsible
| for it.
James A. Conner said Superintendent
| Covert told him that Colonel Ainswortt
was directly in charge of the work be-
meath the building. Five other witnesse,
testified and then the jury retired to con
slider its verdict. After being out two
hours the Jury returned q verdict setting
| forth:
.sThat Frederick B. Lotus came to hi
death by the disaster to Ford's theatr
building on June 9, 1893. They recite al
| the circumstances connected with the &C
cident and find Frederick G. Ainswortl
| in charge of this building, VIM. G. Cavert
superintendent, Francis Sasse, engineer
and George w. Dant, contractor, respon
sible for the killing of Lotus. The jul
rors further find that the failure of tn
government of the United States to pro
vide for skilled superintendent OF Worl
of repair and alteration in its building
in charge of the war department is mos
un-businesslike and freprehensible, an
are of opinion thatif such superintend
ents had been provided, the awful TRACE
dy would have been averted.
Coroner Patterson decided not to issu
warrants for the commitment of Colone
Ainsworth, Dant and Sass till tomorro,
morning, in order to give them opportu
nifty of obtaining bail. Colonel Aims
worth has already secured bondsmen

READY FOR JULY FOURTH.
An Elaborate Programme is Now Be-
ing Prepared.
Religious Societies VIII Not Be Allowed
to Remove Their Exhibits Until the
Fair Cioses-Nc Reduction in
Price of Admission Sunday.

CHICAGO, June 19.-In spite of the beat
today there was a refreshing breeze
around the fair buildings that made life
pleasant to the visitors in the White
City. The attendance was not large,
however.
The council of administration decided
today to keep the gates open hereafter
till IL O'Clock at night. Heretofore the
gates have been opened to visitors
Sunday, Thursday and Saturday
nights, some special feature being
prepared for each evening. This pro-
gTamme will be continued on the nights
named, but the fair will be opened other
nights as well. This decision was caused
by the clamor of business men and others
who had no opportunity to visit the
grounds during the day. 1t will be a
pleasant innovation, also permitting peo-
pie to view the wonders of the White
city in the cool of the evening.
An elaborate Fourth of July programme
is being prepared. 1t embraces civic and
military. parade, artillery salutes, mid
way plaisance parade, reading the Declara-
ton of Independence, grand concerts and

fireworks display as has not heretofore
| been seen.
The religious societies which threaten
| to remove their exhibits because the ex-
position will be opened Sunday will not
be allowed to do so as the director-generaI
holds that all exhibits were entered for
the whole period of the fair and must re-
main.
| Professor Gooch on Wednesday will
open summer school for the practical
study of the exposition. The enterprise
has received tie sanction of officials, and
competent corps of professors will be
selected to assist Professor GoOch.
| The twenty-one children given q trip
to the fair for securing prizes in the Cal
ifornia schools will attend exercises at
the children's building tomorrow. They
will be formally welcomed by Mrs.
Palmer and varied programme of music
and addresses has been prepared. Each
of the children will be presented with q
souvenir spoon.
The exposition officials do not favor re-
ducing the price for Sunday admission to
Is cents, feeling it will bring out an I'M
desirable crowd, which they desire TO
avoid. On Sundays there will be relI-
gious exercises sacred music and all else
calculated to make the Sabbath what it
should be.
Commissioner Rucker of North Dakota
returned from a trip through the north
west today, and says stockraisers in gen.
eral are preparing to send exhibits to the
fair.

BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS.
A Report That Two missionaries wer'
Imprisoned Causes Surprise.

A Report That Two Missionaries Were
Imprisoned Causes Surprise.
NEW YORK, June 19.-At the American
board of foreign missions in this city it
was learned that the outcome OF the trial
conducted in Augora against Armenians
charged with rioting in Cesarea and Mar
sovan last spring greatly surprised the
board. Rev. DR.. G. n. Daniels, district
secretary of the board, said today: GAN
the prisoners were natives and two pro-
lessons who were sentenced to death. Mr..
Thoumangan, who was senior profe ssor
of the college, and Professor Kuyayan
were innocent. They were arrested and
imprisoned on January % and every re-
was refused. Rev. DR.. G. G.. Tracy, presl-
dent of the college, who has just arrived
here, stated that there was3 no evidence
connecting them with issuing seditiods
placards. Yet the two native
professors Were not released. IL they
have now been declared guilty it must
have been done by forgery of alleged
documents and by perjured witnesses.
A telegram from Washington says ::
Secretary Gresham when shown cable
dispatch from Constantinople regarding
the matter, said: This is the first news [
have received of the result of the trials.
No official information on the subject has
! vet come to me and l therefore am I'M
prepared to say what if anything will be
done about it by our government.
While our government as a government
had no authority to interfere
| in the matter of the two professors con-
demned, neither OF them being American
citizens, it placed every facility at the
disposal of the American friends of the
accused. The American consul general
at Constantinople was instructed by the
secretary to retain the ablest counsel who
could be procured. tits not believed here
that anything further will be done.
