though the magic eggs Of to-day are
merely receptacles for nendescript
medley of bon bons and biiouterie. they
are survival, or rather revival, OF one
of the quaintest of Old World customs.
This practical method Of disposing OF
Easter eggs suggests that much OF the
ceremony connected with them is due
to the celebration of the Easter Feast,
which succeeds the Lenten Fast. That
ian egg at Easter is very old proverb
in this country is sufficiently shown by
the fact that the Pope sent Henry VIII.
an easter egg in silver case; while an
exact schedule of the personal expe nses
of Edward 1. contains against Easter
Sunday, the suggestive item: -Four
hundred and half egge, Is. 3d." The
price is as noteworthy as the number.
But the most remarkable feature of
the ueage is its international character.
Thus in Russia, it is customary to ex-
change visits and eggs on Easter Day
and "to drink neal of brandy Again,
in Italy, dishes of eggs are sent to the
priests to be blessed, after which they
are carried home and placed in the &C n

AT EASTER TIME.

The little flowers came through the ground
At Easter time, at Easter time;
They raised their heads and looked arouno,
At happy Easter time.
And every pretty bud did say,
"Good people, bless this holy day.
For Christ is risen. the angels say,
At happy Easter time"
The pure white lily raised its cup,
At Easter time, at Easter timei
The crocus to the sky looked up,
At happy Easter time.
"Weql hear the song of heaven!' they say,
SITS glory shines out on us to-day;
O, may it shine on us Away,
At holy Easter tlme!"
Twas long and long and long ago,
That Easter time, that Easter time;
But still the pure white lilies blow
At happy Easter time.
And still each little flower do tn say.
"Good Christians, bless this holy DAY!
For Christ is risen, the angels say,
At blessed Easter time"

FOUND HIS WIFE DEAD.

David Finnie Returned From His Days
Work Only to View a Sad Scene.
When David Finnie returned to his
home at 1884 Nineteenth street at o'clock
yesterday evening he found his wife dead
in bed and his pretty little 2-year-old girl
lying wide awake by her mothers side.
Finnie had left the house at 6 o'clock in
the morning, after cooking his own early
breakfast, as was his custom. There was
no evidence when death had come, except
the presence of the child's clothing in the
bed showing that the mother had been
preparing to dress her little one. Mrs.
Mary Ellen Finnie was 81 years of age and
a native of California. For some time ste
had complained of pain about the heart,
but there had been no intimation of her
sudden death.
The neighbors had heard no sound, not
even a cry from the little child that had
remained by its dead mothers side all
through the day, amusing itself with its
Coll and waiting uncomplainingly until
It's papa should come home.
For nearly twenty years Finnie has been

Sheriff Whelan Sued to Recover the
Contents of Hairstore.
Mrs. E. L. Lewis is trying to get from
the grasp of the Sheriff miscellaneous
assortment of wigs, switches, curls, bangs
and toupees large enough to do away with
the prevailing feature OF every front row in
the City's theaters, give the Sheriff a new
frontpiece and put whiskers on eyerv one
of his deputies. The store of Mrs. Harriet
Nusworth. the plaintiffs mother, was at
tached just after Mrs. Nusworth failed,
about two weeks ago, and the Sheriff and
his more elderly deputies plunged greedily
into the stock and secured enough fine
warranted genuine tresses to last them a
lifetime.
Mrs. Nusworth has now brought suit to
recover the ringlets from the meshes of
the law, and she alleges that the Sheriff
has secured $85s4 45 worth of genuine
hair and has converted the entire lot to
his own use. What the Sheriff is going to
10 with 1T all is not suggested, but he may
explain in his answer. Anyway, he will
not give up lock, and she has been
forced to bring suit for the whole outfit.
Inc list covers two typewriter pages.
There are switches, loose, in bundles, in
drawers and in showcases; there are bangs
without number, enough for all Market
street and some to spare; a few cheap
toupees at $40 so for the lot are mentioned
and then there is one toupee, evidently

COMPETING ELECTRICITY
Franchise for the Peoples Mutual
Telephone Company Recon-.
mended.
A Promise Given to Reduce Rates to
Three Dollars a Month for
Each Machine.

The Street COMMITTEES Of the Board Of
Supervisors decided yesterday to recon-
mend that the franchise asked by the
Peoples Mutual Telephone Company be
granted.
The company was represented by Robert
A. Friedrich, who stated solicitors were
already out getting subscribers and that
several thousand had been obtained.
The company did not want to go any
further until the franchise was granted,
but as soon as it got a favorable answer
from the Supervisors work on the plant
would be begun at once. He thought that
the proposed competing system could be
finished IN about six months.
supervisor Benjamin asked an explana-
ton of the clause permitting the company
to charge So per phone, which is the same
figure now asked by the old company.
This was explained by Mr.. Friedrich,
by stating that sometimes people In out of
the way places wanted telephones, and in
order to accommodate them at profit the
company would be compelled to charge
them little more than the regular price
He assured the committee, however
that S. was the rate to be generally
charged, and said that the company could
not very well raise rates on their SUBJ
scribers after they had contracted to fur
nish phones at So a month.
The committee was unanimously in
favor of granting the franchise, and the
order will be presented on Monday next.
The company will be permitted to lay
conduits for the protection of wires to
transmit electricity for telephones and

indisposition to hazard surmise. This
much was learned, however, that the
hitch arose from one of three causes: One
or more of the roads east of Chicago had
failed to give its concurrence; one or more
of the trunk or New England lines had
failed to agree upon the division of the
through rates, or there had been a dis
TranscontinentaI Traffic Association roads
as to how the Panama route subsidy should
be apportioned.
It was also asserted yesterday by we'll
posted railroad man that one of the roads
east of the Missouri River, which is in the
hands of a receiver, may have Withheld its
concurrence under the apprehension that
its action in indorslng the work and plans
OF the association might not meet with the
approval of the courts, particularly that
feature involving the payment of a subsidy
to the Panama route lines in order to
stit1e competition.
One of the old time contentious between
the Western lines and the trunk lines
was the rate to be allowed the latter on
business destined for New York. The
trunk lines have insisted on % cents be-
ing the minimum they should receive,
and it Is believed that this old bogie may
have again caused serious trouble. On
some OF the lower grades of freight the
through rate Is rs cents from San Fran
cisco to New York, and were the trunk
from Chicago to New York it would leave
but so cents to be divided among the roads
between the Pacific Coast and Chicago,
which would not leave fair com mpensation,
it has been claimed, to these carriers.
Further and more definite news of the
situation is anXiously awaited from Chi
cago by merchants and railroad men alike.
