course, to avoid it or defer it so long as

share of truth and harmonizes with the

the belief that accords with ones own
temperament. The notion that a man

heterodoxist must be bad has ceased to
carry weight Morals and theology have

WHEN EASTER SUNDAY COMES

TO many people the way i'll which
Easter Sunday is determined is not
known. and there is surmise why 1t
comes in March some years and on
others not until the second Sunday III
April. 1t il matter which has been
fixed and changed several times, dis
crepanc;es in the calculations making
the day come on different Sundays III
various localities. 1t was not until tue
last century that the present, and prob
ably final adjustment of the day was
adopted. The history of the event is
thus given in the April number of the
Ladies' Home Journal:
'|rhe observance of Easter dates back
to about the year 6S. at which time
there was much contention among the
Eastern and Western churches as to
what day the festival should be OBJ
served. 1t was finally ordained at the
Council of Nice in the year 325 that
il must he observed throughout the
Christian world on the same day. This
decision settled that Easter should be
kept upon the Sunday first after the
fourteenth day. of the first Jewish
month. but no general conclusion was
arrived at as to the cycle by which the
festival was to be regulated, and some
churches adopted one rule and some
another This diversity of usage was
put an end to, and the Roman rule
making Easter the first Sunday after
the fourteenth day of the calendar moon
was established in England in 669. At
ter nine centuries Il discrepancy in the
keeping of Easter was caused by the
authorities of the English church declin-
ing to adopt the reformation of the
Gregorian calendar in 1882 The differ
ence was settled in 1852 by the adoption
of the rule which makes Easter day al
ways the first Sunday after the full
moon which appears ON or next after the
twenty-frst day of March If the full
moon happens upon Sunday. Easter is

The beautiful woman and dainty little
miss. like mascot, seemed to bring luck
to the little flower girl, for no sooner had
they disappeared than another bunch of
yiolets was disposed of, then another, un-
til all were gone and the basket empty.
Then with comparatively light heart
sho sought a market place on the east side
and with the judiciousness of an old house
wife with very limited pocketbook filed
her basket with eatables and fastened
home, that their hunger might be ap-
peased.
Reaching the house, step after step she
climbed until she found herself with her
heavy load in the hall of the fifth story OF
a forlorn and shabby tenement Did she
knock for admittance at the door that led
to her home? No. The eager ears that
had listened long and anxiously caught
the sound of her footsteps on the stairs and
stood at the open door to welcome the lit
tie breadwnner, for such she was.
The father had been dead some time, and
the mother, a delicate woman, had broken
down in her struggle to provide for her de-
pendent little ones, so little Griselle had
taken the responsibility of breadwinner
upon her own narrow shoulders and had
borne the pressure like soldier.
II am glad you are back. i felt worried

| claimed the mother as she stepped to the
door to see that it was securely fastened.

OF THE AFFAIR.

New York, December 20.-A special
to the Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain has given another in
stance of her friendship for the United
States by suppressing filibustering
expedition organized in Hong Kong for
Aguinaldo and his followers. Consul
General Wildman, representative of
this government at,Hong Kong, eabled
information concerning the formation
and suppression of the expedition to
the State Department several days
ago, but the authorities have been
Keeping 1t secret. The information
wkas communicated to the President
before bis departure and determined
the orders which will be given to the
battleships Oregon and Iowa, now at
Valparaiso, to proceed to Manila via
Callao and Honolulu.
BY assembling large force at Man.
liza the administration believes it will
be able to avoid international disputes
and impress the insurgents with the fu-
tility of resisting such a strong naval
nation as the United States. Efforts
are being made to learn the sources of
the expedition fitted out for Aguinaldo.
The dispatch sent by the consul gener-
al gave no information on this point, it
being simply an announcement of the
organization of the expedition and the
action taken by the British authorities
in suppressing it.
In some quarters there is a DISPOSE
ton to believe that Germany is at the
bottom of the affair and is secretly
urging the insurgents to resist the
United States. 1t is due to. this belief
undoubtedly that the President pro-
poses to make Rear Admiral Dewey's
command superior to that which the
Berlin government has in Asiatic
waters. There is nothing, however, on
which the authorities can base the sus-
picion they entertain, though the sus-
picion is probably the result of Ger
many's action in maintaining such a
strong force at Manila during the war
and in her determination to send yes
sells to the islands during the winter.
1t is recalled in naval circles that
Spain gave Aguinaldo last winter
large sum of money to leave the is
lands, and that a Philippine junta was
established in Hong Kong. 1t may be
that the expedition was fitted out by
the junta by the direction of Aglin-
aldo. This being the case, it is evident
that the insurgent chief is trying to
place himself in a position to resist
the United States, though he may de-
termine when aware of the purposes
of this government respecting the is
lands, that it would not be good policy
to do so.

TUBERCULOSIS
In Man and Beast, Causing Alarm in
Great Britain.

London, December 20.-The Prince
of Wales presided at private meeting
at Marlborough House to-day, con-
vened by him 10 promote a war against
tuberculosis.
The Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl
of Roseberry and a number of noted
scientists and physicians spoke of the
urgent necessity OF educating the peo-
pie in the means of preventing con-
sumption and of checking the spread of
tuberculosis disease among cattle.
Special stress was laid upon the i'm
portance of erecting open air sanatar-
la.
The Prince of Wales, who promised
his heartiest support to the. movement,
said Great Britain ought TO follow the
good example set before her in the I'm
tied States, Germany and elsewhere, in
the effort to stamp out the disease. He
mentioned the fact that the Queen had
ordered the destruction of SO of her
dairy cows which had been found
tuberculosis. 1t was an example, he
urged, such as the farmers ought to
follow.

Americans.

Havana, December 20.-Captain Gen
eral Castellanos informed Brig. Gen.
Clous to-day that the evacuation OF
Havana would be complete on or be-
fore January 1 next Fourteen trans
ports are due to arrive from Spain dur
ing the next ten days. There are 49,
600 Spanish troops still in Havana and
its environs, but the last few thousand
will embark simultaneously.
This information was particularly
agreeable to the Americans, because
all Spanish troops who remain here
after January l will have to be pro-
tected.
The Eighth and Tenth regular in
fantry regiments have been ordered
by the United States evacuation COM
mission from QuemadOs, and they will
report here for duty tomorrow, under
the command of Gen. Greene. All the
seacoast batteries on the west, includ-
ing La Reina, will be occupied by the
American troops by Thursday.
The men will camp in tents, with
details to guard the forts. Commodore
B. J. Cromwell reported to the United
States evacuation commission to-day
IudL he WOulu Take oFtI Tic dl ooHoti
and naval property Of Spain in Havana

port.
The Spanish immovable property, &C
cording to the inventory, is estimated
to be worth about $5,000,000.
The inventory is a huge document
containing many hundred pages of
manuscript, and gives full details of
all the Spanish property in Cuba.
