LOVELY nAsfse SUNDAY


Easter Sunday opened crisp and vigofat'
ing, though cloudy. However, Old 5ol
soon asserted his authority and shons
brightly.
The celebration OF the festival was con
nned to the presentation Of Raster cards
and Easter eggs, the feasting on eggs, and
religious obssrvances In the churches,
many OF which were deliberately. decorat-
cd with flowers. In nearly ell OF them the
resurrection OF Christ was the leading
topic discussed from the pulpit. All day
long the streets were filled with church
goers on their way to and from the various
places OF worship, which were all well
filed. and the evidences Of the approach
OF spring and close OF Lent could be seen,
not only in the number and character OF
the audiences, but even In the brighter
colored dresses which succeeded the sombrs
shades Of the penitential period.
In the Catholic churches mass was
celebrated with great ceremony. In the
Episcopal, Methodist and other, churches,
the day was more than usually observed,
and appropriate sermons delivered.
Whether IL may be dus to the Imagina-
ton, the delightful sprlngtime, the ex-
hilerating effects Of . generally beautiful
day or heavenly influence pervading our
natures, II does nevertheless seem ~ II on
Easter Sunday everybody looked happier,
all things appeared Brighter, and that for
one day in the year at least, man-poor,
selfish man-had forgotten his disappoint-
ments and his anlmositIes. and that peace
and good will had taken full possession Of
all mems hearts. Hope IL renewed, charity
10 given Q fresh impulse, and every year.
as the anniversary of the day rolls around,
she buds and stems burst forth with won
derful beauty and purity, q fitting type Of
that glorious resurrection. Easter COM
bines just enough OF worldllnsss with Its
religious character 30 make Il the might
lest Of all the Sundays In the year. II It
appeals to the faith OF the dsvout, it calls
also upon the Imagination Of the unrsgen-
crate. 1t celebrates to the impenitent the
transition Of winter to spring. Il is . day
OF dress as well as devotion. 1t marks the
of flowers, and Of all the goodly
fruits OF the earth. Vanity shares che
day with virtue. Even the churches pay
tribute to the vanitiss. They decorate
them even to the point of display,
and in gorgeousnsss Of attire the chapcels
rival the church goers.

The next move 10 be made by the oc-

OF infected milk are sold each Gay. A list

ted, and the bold statement W ri be m ad e
that from all such places the mi sold is
bad. The Council will be asked TO make
severe law, by which the sale OF such
milk IS prohibited, and by which the cat
lie may be killed. The same kind OF a
law Will be presented to the Board of Su-
pervIsors, and they will be asked TO pass
i IN the interest of the people of the
whole county. This law is necessary for
the prote ction of the city of Oakland, fol

will be impossible for the purchaser to
say whether he is buying good or. bad

1t is likely that the same law which is
now IN force in San Jose will be passed al

When the matter has come up heretofore
there has often been a tie vote. 1t Is be-
iieved that the agitation OF the past few

Mr.. LYNCH HAS
A FEW SECRETS
Light Thrown on the Seizure
of Liquors Under Bogus i
Foreign Labels &.
Facts of Importance Concealed
by Him From the Public
for Reasons. -......... +.
he Surrendered the Liquors and Has
Persistently Kept the Matter
81 From the Press. -.

Early in October Internal Revenue Col
lector Lynch, on u complaint of imp port
ers and wholesale dealers in foreign spirits
and cordias, seized from the establish
ment of Lyons & Co. and from one or two
other places in this city whose identity,
for reasons, was concealed by the Col
lector, quantity of bottles of gin, brandy,
bitters and liqueurs whose labels repre-
sented them to be of foreign origin. The
seizure was made on the ground that the
placing of liquors made in the United
States under foreign labels tended to con-
fuse the revenue officers in the discharge
OF their duties.
The matter was reported TO the Internal
Revenue Com missioner at Washington,
and he consumer who had been paying a
biz price for California made gin because
it purported by It's label to have been
made IN Amsterdam, and the importer
who had paid heavy duties toward the
support of the Government, waited pa
tiently Tor decision, but it never came
Repeated inquiries at the Office of the
Collector elected the informs alton that the
matter was in the hands of the depart
ment at Washington, and that some dav
the truth would be made known some
where and somehow. As late as last Mon
the reporters whether there was anything
new or any decision in the matter of the
swindlng foreign labels. and Mr.. Lynch
responded that there was not and that The
matter was still undetermined By the de-
partmcnt at Washington. Yet it is fact
that two or three weeks ago the Collector
in person ordered the seized liquors with
the false labels returned to Lyon & Co. and
the rest. and the liquors were so returned.
Mr.. Lynch, Tor some occult and beyond
doubt sinister reason, Withheld this knowl-
edge from the press, and deceived the re-
poriers, probably for The same sinister
reasons, allowing them and the public
generally TO entertain the belief that the
matter was still undetermined by t. de-
partment.
Even TIE attorneys for the parties ag-
grleved were kept in the dark. Mr.. Cor

The Congregational Church
Extension Society Tells
It's Story. .
Says That DR.. Tubb Brought.
Too Few Additions to Beth
HIS. :. lehem Church. - +.
The Mortgage Likely to PoreClose
Any Moment Unless the Interest
F. =:.:..s : Is Paid

+ The Congregational Church Extension
Society saw now that its efforts to have
Rev. w. H. Tubb withdraw from Bethle-
hem Church was done with the kindIlest
feeling possible and to save him from
worse that might, and very likely would,
happen. Rev. Loyal Writ, secretary of
the society, said yesterday in an interview
on the subject that while he thought
great deal personally OF d.. Tubb the fac
still re mained that the gentleman was 8
far better pioneer in the forming Of a
church than pastor in bringing sous
into the church. He also said that while
Mr.. Tubb had built up and enlarged the
church building there had been but few
additions to the church.
"Then. too," said he, 1.-The ground on
which the church is built is mortgaged
for $1,000 and the interest, which is SIS a
month, has not been paid for almost a
year now, so the man who holds the mort
gage has said that this state of affairs
cannot GO on much longer, that the money
must be paid or the mortgage foreclosed.
Business Is business, you know, even in
the affairs OF III" churc' T., and We thought
that II Mr.. Tubb cou not bring enough
pc ople into the church to pay the interest
should have some one who could.
81 ara very sorry that this affair became
public; IL will only 10 Mr.. Tubb harm.
1t was said to-day that his congregation
sto cd with him. This is not entirely so,
for there are some in the church who wish
him to resign. l don't think they are in
the ma jority, but still there is some dis
satisfaction. No; it has not been decided
vet how we shall act in the matter; we
will know that after the committee meets
on next Monday morning. In. all pro ba-
biity We will accept his offer to bring
about the desired condition in SIX months
or year In that case we will also as
sumo the responsibility of the interest as
well as the other ebt for $780,
1t is understood that the mortgage is
