The New and Old Worlds
Celebrating Today
FASHIONS FINEST FEATHERS
CREATIONS OF MODISTE AND
MILLINER ON VIEW.
Song and Story in the Churches-The
Old and the New Observance.
The Easter Egg.

The season of penitence ended yes
terday. The season of song begins to-
day. Fashion smiles her prettiest and
dons her most charming gown. The
cloud that for forty days and forty nights
has rested like a pail over the religious
world, has been dissipated by the Eastef
sunlight. The world sings "Alleluia,"
and nature smilingly joins in the refrain.
Easter is actually here, with all the the
festival implies.
The celebration of Christmas is en-
1oyed by mankind everywhere, but as a
religious festival, it hardly compares
with Easter. The birth of Christ was
q wonderful event, of course, to the
world, but his resurrection means full as
much to mankind, if not more, in the
lesson it teaches to old and young. The
fact of the creation of being that was
to save the world is important in that it
impresses upon us the magnitude of the
events that surrounded the beginning
of the end of paganism. The resurec-
tion signifies that the soul. like the Son
of Man, never dies. 1t is like the begin
ming of a reform contrasted with the re-
suits thereof.
Years ago Easter was observed mainly
churches but in these later days every
denomination has Joined in what is now
the universal celebration. 1t is safe to
say that there is not a church in the
United States, or in the world for that
matter wherever flowers are obtain
able, that is not decorated with the
beauties of nature and breathes with
that cheeriest of sentiments which is
spoken in the flower language. 1t is
the greatest and at the same time the
most peculiar festival for which the
Christian religion stands as patron
There is no event other than this where
religion and fashion go hand in hand,
and the place of worship is also the the
ater for the display of fine raiment.
The present season. though the cry of
hard times is ringing in the ears of the
people, will be more than notable in
point of observance. The florists say
that never before have their orders been
SO numerous and so large. Churches as
religious bodies have combined to deco
rate in commemoration of the festival.
There is far less individualism apparent
in this regard. Ministers in many por-
tions of the country questioned concern
ing this fact, have stated that it is be-
cause Easter, 1897. marks wider de-
velopment, broader feeling and a more

OF FABULOUS RICHNESS
TIVE Occur d'Alene Men "Blast Gold
Out of a Mountain"

A staggering report comes from the
Coeur dAlene. If a little bit of it is
true, the gold politicians of the east will
have nothing to do but lay plans for the
complete annihilation of the gold stand
ard and climb into the silver wagon at
the earliest opportunity. Gold will be
cheaper than iron if the Occur d'Alene
find amounts to anything like what its
discoverers predict. Two men recently
arrived at Murray and gave it out that
they had been blasting pure gold out
of a mountain" The modern Aladdin
cave is said to be a mile from Murray.
This is the story that is given circula-
ton:
Three weeks ago Bell while doing
development work on the claim, noticed
gold in point of quartz jutting out from
the wall. He broke off a piece with
sledge, from which $50 was pounded out
that night. The next day he put up
shot in the quartz and filled his dinner
bucket with rock that evening. He
pounded out $3.50 that night. Since then
they have been following the streak,
which has grown richer continually, un-
til yesterday almost four inches of gold
showed up in the tunnel.
THE North Fork is wild over the dis
covery, which, so far as known, is with
out a parallel. The rock is carried in
sacks to the creek, crushed in hand
mortar washed in gold pan and the
gold run into bars on the spot. Old
miners are reminded of the days VIXEN
Uncle Billy King and his partners found
a gold plated rock in Prichard creek and
located the Mother lode. They feared to
do any development work, thinking that
one shot might blow off all the gold.
But Snyder and Bell are determined to
know the extent of their deposit as soon
as possible unless they get enough to
retire on in the meantime. Other Gains
in the camp have produced rich pockets,
but the Eureka is turning out moro sold
to the man than all the other pockets in
the camp could do.
Everybody is in fever Of excitement
over the pocket continuing so far as " ell
as being so rich. The first blast Satur
day showed rock richer than any even
before discovered in the camp, but the
limit was not reached, as the pay streak
kept growing richer with each shot

When in Disgrace

When in disgrace with fortune and mems

I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless

And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends
possessed,
Desiring this mans art and that mans
scope.
With what I most enjoy, contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost de-
spising.
HAPPY think on thee and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at

For thy sweet love remembered such
wealth brings
That then / scorn to change my state with

!: THE BEST TEN SHORT POEMS :
HAAA4&&AAAAAA&&&&A&A&&A&

There has recently been a great deal
of discussion in literary circles as to
which are the ten best short poems in
the English language. Selections have
been published in the newspapers, con-
sisting OF ten poems chosen from Amer
lean and English authors. These selec-
tions have varied, according to individ-
ual taste, and no two sets of poems pub
lished have been Identical, with the ex-
ception of Millions poem on his blind
ness, which is unanimously declared to
be one of the finest short poems in the
language.
To select the ten best short poems from
the great storehouse of English poetry
is, indeed, well-nigh impossible task,
particularly If American poets be in
cluded in the list. Some of the finest
short pnsns in thA language are the
work of living Americans, and to select
only ten out of all their work would be
a hard matter. Then there are hundreds
of exquisite gems in contemporary Brit
ish poetry. So, perhaps, 1t may render
the choice more easy, and certainly 1t
will make 1t more Just, to limit the selec-
tion to ten short poems by English poets
now dead. We give such a selection
below, commencing with the famous
sonnet of Shakespeare, beginning:
when in disgrace" The last of the ten
is Tennyson's Crossing the Bar" 1t
has been said of this little poem that, al
though written shortly before his death,
the poet never excelled 1t in his noblest
work composed during his prime. Its
simplicity, its majesty of thought and
the music of the short stanzas render it
unsurpassed in the English language.
Some of the ten are marked by per-
sonal preference and perhaps would not
be chosen by many of our readers. 1t
will also be observed that some are in
sonnet form, the poets considering this
the most perfect form of verse for the
short poem. The sonnet has been called
the pearl of poetry. The quatrain is an
other form we'll suited to the short poem,
but it will be noticed that very often
where this form is used the author is
apt to run to length, the comparative
ease of composing in this measure being
a temptation to linked sweetness long
drawn out"
Ten short poems by living English
poets ten by American contemporary
poets, and ten by American poets of a
past generation may be chosen for fu-
ture publication.

Standard OIL Stock Rises Nineteen
Millions in Four DaYe

| Standard oil is supplying Wall street
with the biggest boom" of the year.
Since a week ago Saturday it's certif-
| Gates have jumped in value no less than
nineteen points, and no one knows what
the top notch quotation will be.
| OF the secrets of Standard OIL the
street knows nothing. 1t makes no re-
ports, its profits are divided in it's own
way and all that the public is permitted
to know is that on irregular dates the
word goes forth that Standard Oil has
declared a dividend Of 10 or 15 per cent.
Wall street, with all its strategy, can
learn no more than this. 1t asks ques-
tions only to answer them itself. Stand
ard OIL is inaccessible.
Standard Oil last year paid 81 per
cent in dividends on a capitalization Of
| 500, 100000. This means that the enor-
nous profit of $27, 300, 900 was distribute
ed How much more of profit was in re-
serve? Wall street would give much
to know, but Standard OILS books are
closed.
So far this year 10 per cent has been
paid, on March Is. Another big divi-
dend will probably come in June.

The sudden appreciation in the value
of the certificates is not based alone
on a prospective increase in dividends.
There are rumors upon rumors of the

of the trusts doing this or accomplish

But it takes little to encourage an ad-

that the measure of trust prot is distrib-
uted to the public depends upon the
whim of the Rockefellers. With its
record for enormous dividends a report
of an increase, no matter how circulat-
ed or who the authority, at once causes
an advance.
The big jump il prices of the past
three days is based on rumors and re-
ports. But Wall street capitalists are
willing to take a chance that the trust

On Desire

Thou blind mans mark, thou FOOLS self
chosen snare,
Fond fancys scum and dregs Of scattered
thought:
Band of all evils, cradle Of causeless care;
Thou web of will whose end is never
wrought;
Desire! desire! have too dearly bought,
With price of mangled mind, thy worth
less ware;
Too long, too long, asleep thou hast me
brought,
Who should my mind to higher things
prepare.
But yet in vain thou hast my ruin sought;
In vain thou mad'st me to vain things
aspire;
In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire.
For Virtue hath this bettT lesson taught,
Within myself to seek my only hire,
Desiring naught but how to kill desire.
