sung so we'll, and the applause 1t won
was thoroughly deserved. The semi
chorus in the fair scene was especially
good, while Misses Savage and Fisher
and Messrs. Goddard, Spencer, Piper
and Campbell emphasized the hits pre-
viously made. 1t would be hard, in
deed to find six people in amateur
ranks who could BETTER sustain roles
like those in 1.-The Chimes" than the
half dozen named.

Next week will see the re-opening of
the Grand, and the real darkey will be
beautifully in evidence. The attraction
is Harry Martell's big southern pro-
duction, 1.-The South Before the War"
This play is entirely different from
anything of its kind that has been pro-
duced. The combination of darkieS< big
and little) numbers so people. The
performance embraces a great variety
of music, camp meeting scene, buck
and wing dancing, singing by four
quartettes, with a chorus of 40 voices;
a genuine cake walk, which creates
continuous laughter, and pickaninny
band of IL little darkies; a carload of
scenery, depicting a cotton field in full
bloom; Frog island, and the old Mis-
sissippi steamboat Robert E. Lee, will
all be shown, and to those of the
younger generation who have often
heard what a plantation was in ante
bellum days, this play will give a very
realistic idea.

"Oh. Easter bells. ring in the glad new
 days!
 Gods smile, the sunshine, lieth over
 alli"
 Nature in glorious accord with mans celebration of ringing bells and songs of joy and general gladness, to- day commentaries the rising from the grave of Christ to be forever af- ter the Light of the World"
 All creation today proclaims the res urrection upon which is crystall1zed the whole foundation of the Christian creed-a doctrine that brings sunshine into the lives of the toiling millions and gleams of gladness to a burdened world. As to the historical facts that determine the date of this festival of Easter, the Book of Common Prayer tells us that Easter always came the first Sunday of the full moon which appears on or after March 21st, and if the full moon comes on Sunday then Easter day is the Sunday following. This date was ordered by the council of Nice A. D. 325. It was unquestion- ably settled when, both the English and Roman churches having adopted the Gregorian calendar, there could be no more cause for dispute.
 The customs peculiar to Easter are many, and few know their origin or meaning. The most common is the presenting of eggs as gifts symbolic of the season. The use of eggs for Eas- ter can be traced to the theology and philosophy of Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Romans, among all of whom an egg was the symbol of the universe, the work of the supreme divinity.
 The Persians gave presents of eggs at the feast of the vernal equlnoX-ln honor of the renewal Of all things. But to get back to our "ain countrie. " one of my brightest recollections Of young life in Washington, D. C., is the rolling of eggs on the terraces at the White House Every year the chil- dren of all classes of people meet in the White house grounds and with the president and his family look ing on and great crowds of spectators in attendance proceed to roll eggs in all the colors known to humanity, and in such quantities that it would seem as if the hens of all the world had contributed This Is one of the sights of Washington on Easter Monday.
 The significance of Easter with us, here in America, is said by some to be simply new clothes and bonnets. but I think there is a higher element per- vading our American Easter than mere frivolous personal adornment which is realized if we only hark to the peals of the organ in the innumer able churches of every denomination, and peer through the cathedral panes at the heads bowed in prayer, and list to the happy blending of voices from hundreds of choir lofts

WATER FOR SCOTCH HILL.
The New Reservoir Will Soon Be
 Full on the Southern Heigh+s

The newly constructed reservoir on ion of the Southern Heights has been finished and the inlet supply pipe connected with the Spring Valleys mains has been let into the large basin. Out of this receptacle the entire southern portion of the city will be supplied with an abundance of fresh water just as soon as the Spring Valley Water Company can get the pipes laid through the streets of the Potrero sec ton. In this the company has met with the cooperation of the Potrero Land and Improvement Company through the exer- tiOnS of Contractor Whitley, who has had gang of men steadily employed for the past month In grading the streets leading to the reservoir and from there to the thickly settled portion of the heights, where the residents have in the past suffered because of the non-supply of water, other than what they could ob- tain from supply cart.
 With an abundance of water the dis trict will now be in a position to ask from the Supervisors the necessary fire protec- ton in the distribution of hydrants. Here tofore a fire in any portion of the South ern Heights meant the total destruction of the building attacked.
 The Potrero Land and Development Company, through Contractor whitley, has done considerable work on the heights within the past year in grading, sewering and macadamiZing streets that heretofore only existed on the official map.
 Henceforth the thousands of mechanics and laboring men who work at the many branches of industry in the busy Potrero district can find suitable homes within short distance of their places of employ ment, in which themselves and their fam flies will have superior sanitary surround ings to what they can get in the narrow streets and alleys in the more thickly set tied portion of the city, where they have been compelled to live because of the scar city of water and the difficulty of procur- ing gas or electric lights.
 With an abundant supply of water and the other necessaries of life brought to their doors the men much prefer to re- side close to their places of employment rather than in crowded portion of the Ci

occasions, and the first notion one gets IS that the assembly is without a presi- dent. The second is that it has three presidents. Of the three persons, how
 ever, who sit in a row at the table of the House, immediately below the Speakers chair-one of whom is some times in ordinary morning dress and sometimes in evening dress, while the other two are in wig and gown, like English Queens counSel-the first mentioned is the deputy speaker, or chairman of committees, who exercises all the powers of the Speaker when the House is sitting, not as a House, but fin committee" Next, everybody on such occasions who speaks at all seems to be allowed to speak as often as he likes, contrary to the usual practice when the Speaker is in the chair; and there are always half a dozen mem bers who exercise this right to an ex- tent that attracts general attention. A third circumstance, which is particular ly noticeable during the discussion of an Irish bill, is that nearly every part of the House is empty, except that oc- cupied by Irish members. The minis terial benches are deserted by their oc- cupantS who only troop into tbe House when the division bell rings and then vote as they are told by the Govern ment whips and, of course, in en-
  The opposition benches in this case are deserted almost entirely for the reason that the Liberals do not bother about the bill one way or the other. A few stray Liberals, however, remain, and they promise to develop into f1rst-class bores: Among them is Lord Edmund F'itzmaurice, brother of the Unionfst, Marquis of Langdorne. He apparently thinks himself called upon to intervene in the discussion on almost every amendment. Why he thinks so Is not particularly clear. The probability is that, being an off1ce-seeker and having a somewhat high opinion of his own powers, he wants to put himself 'in ev- idence" as much as possible. in view of the next distribution of offices in a Liberal Government. Another gentle man who seems to think that the bill Is seriously defective and cannot be mend ed, except by his aid is MT. Thomas Lough, an Irishman. who sits for a London constituency. There is at least some excuse for MT. Lough's action in the fact that he is Irish and knows comes to his loading the notice paper with unimportant or useless amend ments to every clause, and when one sees him popping up and down every five minutes to utter words of wisdom which might easily be dispensed with the ordinary man feels his patience sorely tried. Nevertheless. the Irish local government bill is forcing it's way ahead, despite the ''help'' of Lord Ed mund Fitzmaurice and MT. Lough, and when it passes into law a new epoch will have been opened in the history of Ireland.

ELECTION SCANDAL AT
 STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Faculty Committee Appointed to h. vestigate Charges of
 Fraud.

PALO ALTO. Nav 14.-Charges of H. legality in the student body election, which have been rumored about the Quad for a week took definite form yesterday in a mass meeting of students called for an investigation. Evidence was brought forward to show that a number who were no longer in college cast ballots, and others who did not come to the polls were marked off as having voted. The meeting resulted In a resolution to ap- point a committee of the faculty to look into the matter. Dr. Jordan tonight ap- fessors Green, Durand and Whittier as the committee.
 The close contest for treasurer of the student body brought about the agitation. A. B. Morgan won over Fickert and How ard by a majority of six votes. If the charges of fraud are proved a second bal lot will be necessary for choice of can didates. The faculty committee will re- port the results of it's investigation on Monday before the assembled students.

OCCUPATION
 OF BAYAMO One Story of a Victory by Cubans Told by
 Rowan.
The Lieutenant Gives the De- tails of the Capture of the
 Fortified Town.
Says Garcia Wants American Sol- diers as Well as Rifles and
 Ammunition.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 14.-As dispatch from Key West says: The story of the occupation of Bayamo by the victorious Cubans was brought to Key West by Lieutenant A. s. Rowan.
 'We had expected to find Garcia en- camped, somewhere in the fields or mountains,'' said the lieutenant. I'm agine our surprise to learn that his headquarters were in Bayamo. That 1 had always regarded as one of the strongest Spanish fortified towns. Bay amo had been in a state of partial siege for months. Garcia simply wor- ried the Spaniards out on April A, when flags were hoisted over every Spanish fort around Bayamo. General Garcia was correct in his suppositfon that the Spaniards did not intend an armistices but simply hoisted a flag of truce to cover some treacherous military ma neuver. That maneuver was the evac- uation of Bayamo.
 "The Cubans answered the flags of truce with a heavy artillery and rife fire The Spaniards retreated in two columns to little town called Embar- cadero, on the Cauto River. For dis tance of 200 yards on the St. Augustine road the Cubans planted dynamite tor pedoes that were exploded by an eiec- tric wire from the underbrush. From what have learned or the affair I be- lieve that three entire companies of Spaniards and three pieces of artillery were literally blown to pieces.
 General Garcia's headquarters are in one of the finest houses in Bayamo. He received me most kindly and gave me all the information that was in his power. The obtaining of information was my official errand, so that I am not at liberty to tell you what it was. But I believe that I shall be able to tell the State Department all that it desires to know about the eastern end of Cuba
 Garcia wants American soldiers, as we'll as rifles and ammunition. He is kindly disposed toward Americans per- sonally and his whole army is at the disposal of the Government in Wash ington. Cuban soldiers are not much to look at, but they are the best guides have ever seen. Their endurance ana resourcefulness are something wonder full. I don't believe in sending them Krag-J -Jorgensen rifles. The Remington is better adapted to their use than any other. It is simpler and is more easily repaired.''
