EASTER BREAD AND CHEESE.
Origin OF n Custom Still Main tain e d In
Quiet English Village.

Quiet English Village.
An old ceremony which links the pres
cnt with an epoch as nearly distant as
the Norman conquest has been duly OBJ
served in the quiet village Of Eiddcnden,
in Kent, near Ashford, England. Easter
was celebrated by the distributing by
the vicar and church wardcns of cakes
of gingerbread among visitors to the
place, while the residents were RECALLED
with hunks of bread and cheese. For
nearly 900 years these doles or gifts
have been dispensed, although now oil
idea of charity has practically disap-
peared, and the distribution is used
more for an occasion Of conviviality
and ale drinking than for the pious
commemoration Of the two maids Of
Biddenden who founded the feast.
These ladies were Eliza and Mary
Chulkhurst, who lived at the beginning
Of the twelfth century md were joined
together like the Siamese twins One
died day after the other, and they
left n bit of land, of which the rental
is about 5000 q year, to perpetuate a
fund for the distribution of bread and
cheese at Easter. The doles are oil
stamped with likeness of the two
maids, with their names and the dates
of their birth and demise. Many PEG.
pie go to Biddenden for the express
purpose of getting cake and preserv,
ing it as curiosity.

A DoR-Hnntsnr Fox.

A. R. Dodge, of Dexter, Me-. tells this
one: 1.-THE other day, coming down
Maple street, I saw a dog strike cross lots
from Park street. Soma animal was in
pursuit. At first thought it was an
other dog; then it looked like, q large
cat; ultimately saw that II Ngassa fox.
The dog was putting in his best 1icks,
yelping like mad, and the fox was hot
on his trail. With q FINAL long-drawn
howl the dog reached the piazza of his
masters house and from that vantage
ground sat down. to watch his pursuer.
The fox stationed himself about six or
eight feet away, and the two sat eytng
each other for some time. Finally the
door opened and 4he dog slipped inside.
Then the shed door was cautiously
opened, and by the aid OF, the neighbofs
the fox WINS driven into the shed ard is
now q captive"

JRp0n's Protest.

Following is the gist of the protest
Of Japan to the annexation Of Hawaii
TO tho United States:
@The acquisition of Hawaii by an
nexation to the United States would
deprive resident japanese in the
islands Of rights to which they are
entitled under the present treaty
with Hawaii. There are %. 900 Japan
csc in the islands, with large property
rights and under tho present con-
ditjons they are entitled to become
citizens OF Hawaii. In case Of an
nexation these Japanese could not
become citizens of the United States,
as decisions Of the United States Cir
cult Courts are to the effect that no
Asiatic can become citizen Of the
United States. By annexation Jap
anese. now residents of Hawaii,
would be be subjec. to any measure
that might be adopted by the United
States. They would lose the right TO
become citizens and vote, and large
interests owned by Japanese citizens
in the islands would be greatly jeo.
pardized. Therefore, the Japanese
goTel nment must firmly protest
against the proposed annexation"
Hawaiians in Washington insist
that the reason for the protest o:
japan against annexation is that ia
pan really desires to acquire the
islands herself.
The main point OF contention be-
tween Japan and Hawaii over the
treaty between the two countries, it
Is learned, is the wording of the
treaty, which Hawaii seeks to abro-
gate. This treaty has. provision
that it may be terminated at any
time by mutual consent" This is
construed by the Japanese govern
ment to mean that che treaty can
not be terminated without the con-
sent Of both governments, and as
long as Japan insists upon keeping it
in force it cannot be abrogated. The
Hawaiian contention is that the words
have no such meaning, and that any
agreement can be Dissolved by mutual
consent as a matter of course; that il
the claim Of Japan was valid the
treaty wonld be in effect permanent.
It ID understood that Japan insists
that her present claims must be ac-
knowledged and accepted by the
United States in case of annexation,
although protesting against annexa-
ton.

Friday night the watchman's atten-
ii on was called to some trouble IN front
of Franks saloon, and when he arrived
on the scene he found two lads of about
16 years of age, fighting for dear life. He
arrested the two combatants and they
were released on bail to appear before
the city recorder today.
A pugilistic combat occurred Saturday
night between couple of bloods who
seemed to have had too much Christ
mas. They were brought before Re-
corder Sinnott this morning and the one
who started the row was fined $10,while
the other, who it seems was rather
roughly handled, and who did nothing
more than defend himself to the best
of his ability, was discharged.
The Excelsior Dramatic Company will
give their last performance at Vogt

chosen for representation being the pop
ular and stirring melodrama, Ticket

under the supervision of P.J.Duggan, of
Morosco's grand opera house, San Fran
cisco, and we understand the company
is seen to better advantage in it than
any play in their repertoire.
John Duffey, an employe of the o. R.

with one of the waters at the Columbia

Harry Maltell's "south Before the
War" drew one of the largest houses of
any entertainment that has been in the
city for considerable time, and had it
been given on any other occasion than
Christmas Eve, there would not have
been standing room. Many who would
have gone on any other evening, did
not care to leave their homes and fami-
lies on the eve of Christmas to attend an
Entertainment. The musicians, singers
and comedians were masters in their re-
Vspective lines, while the contortionist
was simply marvellous and did every

A Serious Fall.

At about o'clock yesterday morning
James Lowery, an old man who chops
wood for a living. was walking over the
Mill creek trestle, when he fell off at a
point where it was about thirty feet
high and broke his hip bone, dislocating
the joint. After falling he lay about
three hours before he was discovered by
one of the railroad boys who was passing
that way.A He was taken to the Uma-
tilla House and DIR. Hollister called to
attend to his injuries. He found his
patient in a critical condition, as he is
about 20 years old, and the shock and
exposure proved almost fatal to him.
AS he has not sufficient money to pay
his expenses, he was taken to the poor
house today.
No one being on the spot at the time
of the accident, little can be said about
it more than that he was intoxicated
and probably wandered aimlessly across
the trestle to the place where he fell.

MRS. NOLAN DEAD.
She Passed Away Peacefully christmas
Morning.

Mrs. Margaret Nolan, widow of Rich
ard Nolan, passed peacefully away at
O'Clock Christmas morning. She came
to The Dalles in 1851, making this place
her home ever since, and must conse-
quently be recognized as one of our
carly pioneers. She had been failing for
some time, but did not seem to Ee suf-
fering from any malady, and her death
must be attributed principally to old
age.
She leaves one son, Lawrence, to
mourn her loss. She joined the Catholic
church and has been a faithful member
ever since.
Her funeral was conducted from the
Catholic church Sunday and was attend
ed by many friends and acquaintance
of the deceased, who payed their last
respects to kind mother, a charitable
friend and respected neighbor.
