How the Rich Young Girls of New
York Observe Easter.


York Observe Easter.
The fairest feature of Easter is not the
bright sunshine with which the world is
flooded. nor yet the verdure that follows
the sunshine; nor the glad awakening of
the birds, nor the first promise of fruits.
There is gladder sight than this. 1t is
the vision of the young girl who, having
tasted through Lent, goes out on Easter
Eve. carrying with her the fruits of her
self-denial and sacrifices. Her Easter
Offering is spent in bounty for the poor.
And she gives herself on Faster Saturday
the delight of distributing her gifts among
those who SO sorely need them. Her face
as she sets forth is q reflection of the Star
of Bethlehem, come down through many
ages and mirroring forth a likeness of the
Virgins own dear face.
All giving is sweet, but that those
whose training has brought no self-denial,
whose lives are spent far from squalid
scenes. should look through the brown
stone fronts of their own homes into the
houses o. the poor and perceive necessity.
speaks for the soul of woman that touch
of life which is 50 near God. In lovely
boudoir. curtained richly and hung with
tapcstries, there stands corner screen
ed with tall fixture that though six
feet high. is not big enough to hide what
is heaped behind it. This is the bondoir
of one of the wealthiest young women of
New York. and the articles behind the
mysterious screen are packets to be taken
out to the poor Easter Saturday.

ZOLA ESCAPES PRISON.
Court of Appeals Holds He Shall Not
Be Punished.

The French Court of Appeals. in the
case of the appeal of NJ Emile Zola against
the Judgment of the Paris assizes court,
condemning him to twelve months i'm
prisonment and to pay fine of 5000
francs, decided to sustain the finding of
the lower court, but also decided that Nj.
Zola shall not undergo any punishment.
In other words, the verdict and sentence
are affirmed, but they are not to be put
into effect.
1t was at first reported that the Court
of Appeals had quashed the verdict and
remitted the case for retrial to the Yer
sailles assizes. but this proved to be I'M
true. The general Interpretation of the
action of the Court of Appeals is taken to
mean an application of the Berenger law
remitting sentences imposed upon first
offenders in certain circumstances.

by Seismic Shocks.

by Seismic Shocks.
Residents of San Francisco and neigh
boring cities were much excited over the
earthquake which shook the city and Vi
cinity lust before midnight Wednesday.
The vibrations continued fifteen seconds
after the shock was felt and many per-
sons were thrown into panic. Buildings
trembled on their foundations, telegraph
and telephone wires were broken and
numberess panes of glass were broken
during the short space of time the shock
was felt. Several hours elapsed before
the fears of the panic-stricken populace
were uuieted and the streets cleared. Sc
we're shocks were felt at Sacramento. San
Jose, Merced. Stockton and Santa Cruz.
The shock was confined to northern Cal
ifornia. Vallejo and Mare Island suffer-
ed much damage. the loss at the navy
yard being estimated at not less than S2o,-
600. The naval hospital was wrecked and
the Government sawmill thrown down.
In the town of Vallejo. just across the
channel. the loss runs into the thousands.
At the University of California in Berke-
lev the seismograph at the students OBJ
servatory in Berkeley showed that the
shock lasted between thirty and forty sec
onds. The general direction of the vibra-
ton was from east to west. The instru-
mont showed that the shock was heavy

gives the origin of the motto, In God

appears the first suggestion of such a
motto came probably from W. r. Wat
kinson, of Ridleyville, Penn, who
signed himself minister of the gos-
pei" His letter to Secretary Chase on
the subject was dated November 13,
1861. The mOUtoeS suggested were
Our Country; Our God and God
Our Trust" In reply the Secretary
wrote: Il approve of your notices;
only suggesting that the first should
read, Our God and Our Country and
that the motto on the shield should be
changed so as to read, instead of God
Our Trust In God We Trust. In
accordance with an act passed April
%; 1864, the motto in God We Trust
was placed on the new bronze Two cent

1t seems apparent that the administra-
ton has been lenient in its dealings with
Spain. President Mckinley sought to
bring Spain and Cuba to some amicable
arrangement which would satisfy both,
and not be too humiliating to the Spanish
government, but Sagasta tempOrized and
deceived until at last the President had
to lay down the definite proposition that
the independence of Cuba was the only
satisfactory solution to the American peo-
pie and the United States Congress. Sa-
gasta sought for further delay, but, when
he could not secure that, his ministry sent
a reply which is an insult to the President.
The reply of Sagasta, when stripped of
its diplomatic verbiage, informs the Uni
ted States that it should attend to its
