m and the evening services are con- ducted by the other priests.
 One of the events of the day in the arehbishop's palace is the dinner after the various high masses in the different churches. The vicar-generals and lead ing priests of the city are usually invited to this repast, and 1t becomes one of the few occasions where a large number of the priests can meet and discuss the af- fairs of the church.
 Responsibilities of the Archbishop.
 The diocese of New York is large one, and owing to the cosmopolitan character of the population it's management from a church standpoint Is replete with obsta- cles No other church dignitary in the country has the responsibilities and deli cate matters to deal with that form part of the work of the archbishop. There are countless affairs, small in themselves, but were he to blunder in dispoSing or any of them serious complications might be the result.
 Unsuccessful Reconci1iations.
 An effort has been made, but it was subsequently, abandoned as useless, to bring about a personal reconciliation be- tween Fathers McGlynn, Burtsell and Ducey and the archbishop I'll the after noon of Easter. Although these are offl- cially reconciled, as far as the church goes, mutual friends hoped to renew the old bonds of friendship which existed be- tween them, but 1t was found to be 1m- practicable.
 A few of the great Catholic laymen are usually admitted to the conferences on Easter afternoon. MT. Thomas Crim- mins, the aged father of John D. Grim mins, is one of these, and Joseph J. ODonohue, the city chamberlain, is an- other. Matters pertaining to the differ- ent parishes are informally discussed.
 School Question in Canada.
 One of the subjects which will engross the serious attention of the gathering this afternoon is the condition of the Catholic church on the public school question in Manitoba. Archbishop Cor rigan has always maintained the strict est possible ideas on the public school problem. He has always held that the children of Catholics should attend only Catholic schools, and it was this opinion which caused the breach between himself and Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul and Mgr. Satolli. The two latter concurred

THE BUDS AND BLOSSOMS OF TRINITY

The bulging coffers of the great churches of New York are thrown open at Easter time, and tens of thousands of dollars are spent upon the flowers which make the edifices beautiful for a day.
 This matter of decorating the nota- ble places of worship is one which means much to large number of people, Some are inclined to question the policy of a church which expends large sums for it's Identification, and claim that better use could be made of the money were it disposed of among the homes of the poor and in the good cause of charity.
 These people forget that the money is distributed among a wide number of working people. Were it withheld and used for some other purpose these work ing people would have to find other occu- pations. On Easter flowers alone more than $500, ,000 are spent in New York. and of this sum the churches spend fully one half.
 Of course the large florists are the principal gathers. But great army of people are employed by them, and the fruits of whole year of labor are shown on the alters of the large churches on Easter Sunday.
 The beautiful cathedral of St.Patrick, with it's two wonderful high spires of glistening white, is always visited on Easter morning by those in quest of the beautiful in church decoration. The wonderful music to be heard also brings many, as the ancient compositions of Palestrina are always rendered on that day; but it is the beauties of the artists work with flowers which cause thou sands Ito pause in their promenade along Fifth avenue, showing off their own and admiring another's Easter finery, and enter the huge cathedral.
 More than usual attention has been paid to the floral decorations this year. Today the wide area of the sanctuary will be one mass of white and green-the pure white of the lily and the green or it's stem. There will be much of the

NIGHT IN THE CITY.

There is not sound or a breath tonight, The streets lay broad and still. Even the breeze has taken flight The town Is bathed in the silvery light That the down-turned moon doth spill! In wonder house the dancing feet Have ceased to beat the floor; Hushd are the notes of the violin sweet The music and mirth that reigned complete The song and dance are OCT. In its mothers arms new life sleeps Down in the heart of the city; Tn another house woman WeepS. Watching couch to which death creeps-s That death which knows no pity. Iris a woman dying; her passionate life Is slowly ebbing away. It may be an ending to sin and strife So months and years, with reckless rife, She has lived through her butterfly day. So baby sleeps and a woman dies; Vain now is her beauty's might. What can avail her lovers signs, Quenched Is the light of her beautiful eyes, Death calls her his own tonight. One soul comes in through life's broad gate While another Is fleeing fast To that goal of souls, which early or late, Be they young or old whatever their state, All souls must reach at lasti And the world moves on and the moon
 shines down
 With the same old silvery light; Mirth sleeps, but there's birth and death
 in the town, And darkness no light of the morn can
 drown,
 In the star-lit hours of night

in the trial of school at Fairbault, Minn., conducted jointly by the towns people and the Catholic church, and for the use of Catholic and protestant chill dren alike. Archbishop Corrigan never took kindly to the innovation, and in lift ing up his voice against it as contrary to the doctrine of the Catholic church he brought down upon himself a storm of abuse.
 The school question in Manitoba is now such a serious one that many Catholic divines believe that it will materially hasten the annexation of Canada to the United States. The Catholics there are now demanding of the dominion govern ment the right of separate schools. For merly the Catholics were in great ma jority in that section of Canada, but the numerous settlements of recent years have placed them in a religious minority. Formerly the Catholics enjoyed the priv ilege of separate schools, but with the legislature depriving them of this right
 The Catholic hierarchy of Manitoba. which comes within the Jurisdiction of Mgr Satolli, appealed to the imperial privy council in England for settlement of the difficulty. Through the influence of Lord Russell of Killoven, brother of a Jesuit priest, and through the co-opera- tion of the Hon. Edward Blake, now a prominent member of the Irish party, and formerly leader of the liberal party in the pau ildineul or Cdnada, they were able to obtain partially favorable decision from the imperial privy council just at the pre- else time that the tory government of Canada had determined to appeal to the country at large for a vote upon the vexed question, which would have of course. meant protestant victory
 The Canadian Cabinet.
 The cabinet of Canada is ruled by A tory Orangeman, but there are five Cath olics in his cabinet, and so the hierarchy Of Quebec are able to bring influence upon the Orangeman premier and they have threatened to break up his ministry if he doesn't overrule the Manitoba pro- vincial legislature and restore to the Catholics their former rights under the constitution.
 The issue thus presented to Sir Mac Kenzle Bowell, the Orange premier, is just this: That he literally has to take in both hands hot poker. equally red at either end and at white heat in the mid dle. The prime minister appreciated the situation, and has put off the evil day by calling session, of the Canadian parlia- ment to dispose of the question
 Lord Satolli, whose sway in the Catho- lie church extends from Patagonia to Labrador has decided. it is said, that if the Catholics of Canada cannot obtain their rights. he will call upon the ecclesi- astics of Canada to help the movement

"WOMAN'S POWER" |"

To some few, the word is given, "Go ye forth' and build your own," But you need not stop to seek it-God him-s self will make it known; You cannot misunderstood it-it will come to you alone. It is grand to be woman, standing very. near to God, Seeing with her Heaven-born instinct every
 step that He has trod. z Searching in the darkest science till she
 finds it bright with God. Do you count her power as nothing? This

Easier Sunday means many different things to many diffrent people. To a large number 1t is given over for the pur- pose of unusual personal adornment,an by them might appropriately be called Vanity Day. It means much to the shop keepers who grow rich catering to the lovers of finery. It means much to the smaller number who fully appreciate the tender significance of the day and decor ously observe it.
 To no man, perhaps, in the great city does the serious import of this religious festival appeal more strongly than to Archbishop Michael Corrigan of St. Pat rick's cathedral. The archbishop is a deep thinker. As a student of religious matters he ranks second to none in the country. Easter time to him Is the great

The Dress of Men.

Among the many definitions of man is one which defines him as the only animal that wears clothes. Now, this would be correct if we added the word vertebrate; for several of the lower ami mals do wear clothes, and wear them, too, with a sense of their fitness and sensible use that puts the bimanous vertebrate to shame. Among these an imals who have solved the problem of rational dress are the hermit crab. the larva of the caddiS and certain cater pillars. These clothes are rational in so far as that they are fitting for whatever the wearers are doing (of course, the problem is simplfed when the days oc- cupation consists of little else than eat ing and sleping); but how far below these creatures in our use of dress are we?
 The lungs, as far as anatomy goes, ard exposed at the back almost more than at the front. Yet mans clothing over looks this fact A mans shirt is at least three times thicker in front than at the back; his waistcoat is always mere lining at the back, and if. as the major ity of men do, he does not button his coat his back is sure to be much ex- posed. Take again the change from morning to night. During the day man goes about with thick wooden clothes, thick socks. thick boots and shoes, with spats. At night he puts on very thin clothes, waistcoat which is no protection whatever. thin shoes, silk socks, without any spats. and sallies forth to dne,s after which, perhaps, a congratulates himself that he is not as those poor silly women, who go about with the upper part of their chests bare. We are certain however, that men catch cold from wearing evening dress far more than women do, and it behooves

 Towering palms. spreading their huge leaves like benediction over the other flowers, will range against the walls and form the center of miniature floral noun tains. No variety of flower obtainable Tn the city will be missing from that col lection, as the florist who was given the contract was also given carte blanche and instructions to do the best within the scope of his ability
 The Scene of Great Weddings.
 The Church of the Heavenly Rest on Fifth avenue and Forty-f1fth street, the scene of more fashionable weddings than any other church in town, will be place of beauty today. The church Is not a large one, but it's beauties are many, the most notable being it's range of stained glass windows, credited with being the most artistic and costly in the city.
 The church is so built and the win dows so placed that at about the noon hour the interior is filled with a vast volume of sunlight. radiant in every hue of the rainbow. These rays all point or end within the chancel rail, and the gorgeous array of Easter flowers will be bathed in a light of wonderfully soft brilliancy.
 There are more than 800 places of worship in New York where Easter will be observed with flowers and music. Looking at 1t this way 1t becomes an easy matter to estimate the sum in the aggregate expended by the churches in celebrating the day. Five hundred dollars is a conservative figure of the average expenditure. Of course great many spend considerably less, and a large number much more. But S250,000 Is fair estimate of the sum.

floral decorations of St. Francis will consist of the Easter lily, but additional color will be furnished by the liberal use of carnations, azaleas and roses of many hues. Giant palms scattered about the altar will break the monotony of the smaller plants and form luxuri- ous background for the holding lilies
 The Churches of Fashion.
 The churches where modern fashion, dom worship will be glorious in their Easter grandeur. St. Bartholomew's, on Madison avenue, the church of the Van derbilt's, has not the architectural beauty of the other structures. It has an air of solidity and richness, but lacks
