NEW YORK, April l3-Easter SUNDAY
in Jerusaleml Almost irresistibly these
words carry the thinker back more than
eighteen hundred years TO that little city
OF Palestine where the worlds greatest
tragedy was enacted. and where miracle
occurred which has no counterpart IN the
history OF the universe.
There is an indehnable something about
the Mace which takes hold OF the emotions
Of the visitor and fills him with awe as
he looks reverently at the objects which
witnessed His last walk to a cruel deatn'
and again, at the spot. marked as the
place of the glorious resurrection.
There are houses there more than two
thousand years old, and some OF their
walls of stone were passed by that awfui
procession struggling along to the Mount
OF Calvary. No art Of the word-palnter
can picture the halo of deep antiquity
hanging over the city. The solemnity OF
its age, the grandeur Of its associations
cut a niche in the memory which time
does not efface.
II is the ideal city OF all others for the
celebration OF the Easter festival Christ

ago. and looked down upon the town

THE CHURCHES OF FASHION.
The churches where modern fashiondom
worship will be glorious in their Easter
grandeur. ST. Bartholomew on Madison
avenue, the church Of the NanderDilts,
has not the architectural beauty or lhe
other structures. II has an air OF solidity
and richness. but lacks the imposing
beauty Of the Cathedral and Trinity.
The chancel will be a vertable flower

matter and keep their fingers out
Of army affairs there would be no
indignation expressed in the post.

This Morning.


This Morning.
Joe Cooley is again without a
saloon.
This morning about seven o'clock
the south wall of his place on Ala
mo plaza caved in.
The Dreiss building, south Of
Cooley's Register, is being enlarged
and cellar Is being excavated ad-
joining the wall OF the saloon. The
wall has no foundation. The heavy
rain last night softened the ground,
which gave way this morning.
Cooley's stock and fixtures are
damaged considerably and he esti-
mates the loss at about $500.
The only ones in the saloon at
the time were Andrew Washing
ton, colored, and the colored por.
ter, and both escaped unhurt.
Contractor Hollingsworth is in
charge Of the Dreiss building, and
the loss will fall upon him, it is
said. The Cooley building is owned
