THE Fort Worth Gazette YES
terday morning devoted a couple
OF columns to Judge Kilgore. In
our opinion the Gazette fails to
disprove a single proposition of
the judge and certainly so far
leaves him with the long end of
the argument. The Gazette's 5
defense of mobocracy is weak. un-
becoming a great newspaper and is
an insult to the courts of Texas
that were created to punish all
offenses whether of high or low
degree, whether committees by one
man or a thousand men. When a
great paper like the Gazette openly
applauds the work of a mob. no
matter what the provocation, it is
falling in the scale of usefulness
and becomes dangerous factor
losing its potency for good.

EASTER SUNDAY.
The Traditions on which Il Is Estab-
tabllshed. and Its Meaning ms Ap-
piled by the Christian World.

Today is Easter, the day commem.
GRATED as the resurrection OF the
Savior of the world. Today "peace
on earth, good will to men" will be
sung by hundreds of thousands oi
christian people throughout the civ
ilized world. Truly it should be a
day of fruitful rejoicing, and as such
it will be observed in Ardmore.
From Chambers Encyclopedia the
following history of the day, its ori-
gin, etc., is taken:
The festival of the resurrection OF
Jesus Christ, derives its name from
the festival of the goddess Ostrara,
or Eastre, which the Saxons of old
were wont to celebrate about the
same season at which the christian
festival of Easter occurs.
Formerly it was the favorite time
for performing the rite of baptism.
The courts of justice were closed
and aims dispensed to the poor and
needy, who were feasted in the
churches. Slaves received their free
dom, and the people gave themselves
up to enjoyment; hence the day was
called the Sunday of joy"
On Easter day, the people saluted
each other with the Easter kiss, and
the exclamation, "He is risen" The
chief solemnity always consisted of
the celebration of the Lords supper,
The most characteristic Eastern
rite, and the one most widely diff
fused, is the use of Pasch Easter
eggs. They are usually stained of
various colors with dye wood or
herbs, and the people mutually make
presents of them. 1t used to be the
custom for young people to 90 out
early on "Pasch Sunday" and search
for wild fowls eggs for breakfast,
and it was thought lucky to find
them.
There can be little doubt that the
use of eggs at this season was orig
inally symbolized as the revivification
of nature-the springing forth of
life in spring. The practice Is not
confined to Christians; the Jews used
eggs in the feast of the Passover;
and we are told that the Persians,
when they keep the festival of the
solar new year lin March, mutually
present each other with colored eggs
From the Christian point of view,
this feast of eggs" has been usual
Il considered as emblematic of the
resurrection and of a future life.

Range
 Finder Insures Straight Shooting
 Lieutenant William c. Rafferty of the Sixth artillery, U. s. A, has in- vented marvellous range finder, which it is claimed completely removes all the difficulty heretofore met in accurate ly directing shots at vessels standing at distance out at sea. The importance of such an invention is appreciated when one realizes that the cost of sin gle shot fired from 8 modern gun is from $500 to $3, GOO. The secret of the dis covery is closely guarded
 The fortifieation board made test of the new finder at Fort Wadsworth a few days ago, and the results were so satisfactory that Major General Miles, president of the board, congratulated the inventor il the presence of the oth- CT officers. Two shots were fred at 8 barrel mounted by small flag at dis tance of three miles. The first shot struck the water 15 yards away from the target, while the second hit the bar rel and destroyed it.
 The operator of the finder is not re- Qll1tQ tO Dc ucStT lll0 guns. IIOu d prominence he sights the vessels and by means of telegraphic signals directs { the gunners.. The latter do not know where the projectiles or shells are to fall and are guided solely by the in- struetions of the operator. Instructions can be sent from the one man to all the forts about the harbor, and all of the guns in range could be directed to one point i'll the course of few seconds. The gunner does not at any time see the enemy's ship at which he is firing. His gun is mounted on carriage which is so arranged that the gun is below q masonry parapet The elevation of the muzzle for firing is directed by the range finder. In many instances the re- quired elevation is so great that the pro- jectile scars through the clouds Ill it's course it is greatly influenced by the at mospheric conditions, and it is in deal ing with these conditions that so much difficulty has been encountered.

Possible Amalgsmation of Two Big Labor
 Organizations.
 A movement is i'll progress which may lead to the amalgamation of two great bodies of organized labor known as the American Federation of Labor and the Knights of Labor They con- trol nearly all the trades unions in the country, but up to the present time & cutthroat rivalry has existed between them.
 At the meeting of the Central Labor union the other day letter from Presi- dent Gompers of the American Fedora tion of Labor was read. It stated that as the Central Labor union was not af- filiated with the A. r. of L., the writer would advise that body to sink all sec tional differences and join the federation.
 The federation has removed many obstacles to the Central Labor union joining it's ranks, the letter said. "The dues have been reduced and it is neces- sary that labor should be more closely united.
 The letter was q surprise to the Gen. tral Labor union, which is about equal ly divided between Knights of Labor and members of the A. F. of L. Dele gate Hoadley of Electrical Workers union said:
 II am d Knight of Labor, but say without hesitation that l am proud of this letter from Mr. Gompers. I wish General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor had the same kind of stuff i'll him that Samuel Gompers has, J
 Delegate Edwards of the Hexagon La bor club moved that the matter be re- ferred to the affiliated unions of the Central Labor union. The motion was carried. The Knights have combined membership of about 10000 work CTS
