Once during the schooldavs of the
president of the French republic his pro
fessor in geography asked him, "Perier,
give us the exact position and indicate
the latitude of the Gambler group. -
Casimir- Perier crossed his arms tightly
upon his chest, looking very perplexed.
One of his neighbors whispered to him
the wrong answer, whereupon the pro.
fessor gave him the exact position OF
this little group, which belongs to the
more important French establishment
OF Tahiti, and after a short pause, and
with little point of irony, said: You
ought to know that, Perier, because il
is thanks to your grandfather that
France acquired the ascendancy in these
parts of the world. 1t was through his
efforts and entreaties that the dusky
queen of these islands was induced to
come to France, and the men Of my
generation still remember the comical
songs which celebrated the event" Pc.
rier blushed considerably, but, holding
his head still higher, answered the pro

Cleveland and Secretary Gresham
seem to believe. This is the
greatest surprise they have given
the people yet. However, the atti,

this country, is not based on the
famous doctrine of Monroe, but
upon the more recent declaration
of the United States senate. L

rose, this aroma should be inhaled IN the

and stalk. He uses the tobacco at the right
temperature, but in the wrong form, and
puts it into his mouth.
The snuffer reduces the leaves and stalks

asses the tobacco at the right temperature

smoker gets the tobacco into the right

blends the filthy rags and other materials

AT THE EASTER SERVICES.
SPECIAL WORSHIP IN ALL OF The
CITY CHURCHES.
Music and Floral Decorations -- Large
Choirs Knights Templar at
Central Union.

Easter was observed with appro-
pirate services in all the churches
yesterday. Special sermons and
music were arranged for the day
and were heard by large congrega-
tons. At Central Union Church
Mr. Birnie preached morning and
evening.
This church was beautifully de-
corated with Easter lilies, other
gems from the flower beds and
evergreens. The music lent charms
to the service. Miss Burhans was
organist for the occasion and great
credit is due her for the train
ing of the choir. The
special choir consisted Of
the following well known vocalists:
Soprano-Miss Grace Richards,
first, Miss Benner and Miss West.
Alto-Miss Axtell, first, Mrs.
Damon and Mrs. Judd. Bass
Messrs. H. +. Wichman, L. Paris,
w. Dillingham; and Warmer.
Tenor-Messrs. w. w. Hall, w.
H. Hogs, John Waterhouse,
Fletcher and H. Tregloan.
) The first service at St. Andrews
Cathedral, Sunday morning opened
at $50 o'clock, with the Holy
Communion for the second con-
gregation. At 6:3o was the cele-
bration of the Holy Communion by
the Bishop assisted by Rev. V. H.
Kitcat. Services were held later a,

, congregations. Decorations and
music were beautiful and appro

Easter exercises consisting o
, Rotations, songs, addresses, etc.
were held at the Portuguese Mis-
sion Sunday. They were very in

To THOSE persons who honestly
believe that publication of the tax
list in the Chinese NevS was in a
measure justified on the grounds OF
economy, THE STAR willingly
gives attention. We submit that

than the kind chosen and that
the latter was secured on basis
differing vastly from the PROPOSE
tion made to the American papers.

THERE is something manifestly
mysterious about the affair in which

with so much prominence. 1t is
very seldom that the Washington

so much fire there must be some

And in brutal tones commanding,
Urges little boys to fight.

They're a pretty looking lot;

While they're boiling in the pot.
There they stand and talk in curses,
And complain about the blues;

Wades in spit above her shoes.

And their vulgar, rotten tongues,
