KLONDTKE THIEVES.

Washington, Jan. 22-The reports that
have been coming TO the war department
recently, indicating that there is no

have now taken another turn, and the

poets Of worse to come. The following
from private letter written by Rev. S.

the opinions generally expressed by per
sons recently arriving in the coast, both
as to food supply and good ordec:
The strife for something TO eat is al

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down "a
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and !
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire TO the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.

Saturday evening, January 30, a
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Islands on bicycles. The
list was made up of some of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them '97 Overland Special, which is
handled here by the HONOLULU 81
CYCLE COMPANY. The Overland was
the Only Wheel in the Lot which
made the round trip without trouble
of any kind. OVERLANDS are the
kind IF wheels that take you Away
from home and Bring You Back Again.
BY the last Australia we received a
few samples of the 90 OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '07
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without exception
the most beautiful models, and the
highest grade wheels ever shown here

shall sell them-S65. We defy all COM

a time when the Capitol grounds were changed and a big flight of stepS were built where the terrace used to be, and somebody objected to the children romping on the smooth grass of the big sward and rolling their eggs.
 General Hayes was President then, and he heard of 1t, and how disappoint ed the children were because they had no place to roll their eggs that year, and he said: Why let them roll their eggs on the White House grounds and enjoy themselves" And thus it has been ever since, from year to year.
 Easter service in Washington calls to the minds of some of the oldest inhabi- tants, the Easter Sundays before the war, when Sunday service was held in the National Hall of Congress.
 The Rev. w H. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the United States Senate, remembers the time we'll, for he has himself preached in that hall on Easter Sunday. Dr. Milburn's service in the Government dates back, perhaps, far ther than that of any man now occu- pying a public position. Before John sherman, now the venerable Secretary of State, came to Congress; before old Senator Morrill,, once leader in that body, but now bent and feeble, and be- fore hosts of others who have grown gray in the Government harness, en-
  Doctor Milburn opened the Senate each morning with his prayer of thanks to God and his plea for almighty pro- lection and guidance in the conduct of the affairs of the nation.
 F'ifty-tWo years ago 1t was when he made his first prayer on such an occa- sion. That was when the Capitol build ing presented a far different appear ance from the Capitol of to-day That was before the massive wings of white marble were added and when the Sen ate met in the room now occupied by the Supreme Court, and the House of Representatives in the Statuary Hall the old Hall of Representatives where Easter service was celebrated
 There were two chaplains. just as now, one for the Senate and one for the House, but they exchanged duties. so that each body of Congress had, at diff ferent times, the services of each chap lain. Then, too. in those old days the curious custom prevailed of keeping the Senate clock ten minutes ahead of the House clock. thereby enabling one chaplain to open both houses of Con- gress, first officiating at the House and then going to the Senate and making its opening prayer. Thus one chaplain could take a long vacation, and return ing, allow his colleague a like privilege.
 Yes, there have been great changes in the nation," said Doctor Milburn. shaking me by the hand and looking balls, great changes since the time when I first officiated as chaplain of the Senate of the United States. Tn those days, each Sunday in the Hall of Representatives, one of the chaplains held regular Christian service and no

minister preached to more distinguished congregations. Senators, members, heads of departments and even Presi- dents were frequent or regular attend ants. Many noted public man was found in his seat on Sunday morning as promptly and regularly as during the remaining six days of the week.
 l well remember that John Quincy Adams was always present. Great and distinguished ,and attentive were the congregations. This custom, however, of holding Sunday ser vice in the Capitol was discon- tinued during the War of the Rebellion. The new wings of the Capitol were completed at this time and the Sen ate and the House moved into their ele- gant and commodious quarters, and with the move the custom of Sunday service died
 T we'll remember, too, my first Easter service in the Capitol-over half a century ago; and half century such as the world has never before seen; a half century in which the nation has made greater progress in many ways than all the rest of her life. Let us hope the most of it has been for the good of the world and Christianity
 You wish me to say something about Easter. Well, there is much we know about it and much we do not The
 
 nected with it are involved in so many ancient traditions and legends that much Easter lore approaches very near to the domain of mythology and fairy tales. There are several events which are celebrated by the people of different lands at about the same time, and ob- servances have become somewhat mixed.
 Easter Sunday, commemorative of the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb is in many respects the most inn portant as it is the most beautiful .f the festivals of the Christian church. You will see by a prayer book that Easter is always celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon which happens next after March 21 If the full moon occurs on Sunday, Easter is the following Sunia The manner of thus g the time for the celebration was only settled after a long controversy in the early centuries, which caused great feeling.
 ''The celebrat on of the feast of the Passover and that of Easter have been practically merged into one It is only a coincidence that the Jewish Passover festival and the Christian Easter fall on or about the same date In the French 'Paques,' the Italian 'Pasuua' and the Spanish 'Pasena,' all meaning Easter we have an unbroken lineage to the Hebrew 'PeSach' or Passover We have the historical fact that Christ was crucified at the feast of the Pass over A. D. 32.
 Now came the first trouble in the observance of anniversaries. The first generation of Christians, having been members of the Jewish church, nat
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-10

uraIly continued to observe the Jewish festival although it now contained a new meaning for them, and they made 1t commemorate n actual event rather than a shadow or promise. In this somewhat changed and modified per petuation of the Jewish Pesach, or Passover, Easter was then called the Paschal Feast. The death and resurrec- tion of Christ were, of course settled points, ut the date upon which the event was to be observed was not final ly fixed without long and bitter struggle The Jewish Christians thought that the observance of Easter should be immediately following the anniversary of the exact date of the Passover, without regard to the date of the week or month. The Gentiles, however knew that Christ had risen on Sunday, and they held that, therefore, Sunday should be celebrated as the resurrection festival, without regard to the date of the month. The church of Rome, in 147 A. D.. decided in favor of holding the observance on Sunday.
 But there still remained the more difficult question as to what particular Sunday should be celebrated. and this point was not settled for several hun dred years. Easter is not fixed fes- tival like Christmas. Sometimes it comes in April and sometimes in March, depending on the date of the full moon following the vernal eQui- noX. It was necessary. In addition to securing it's general observance by all churches, to have it's time exactly ob- tainable, as upon it's occurrence de- pends all the movable church feast and fast days through the year. The nine Sundays previous and the eight Sundays following Easter are all de- pendent upon it.
 Like many other questions of creed and religion which were finally fixed and about which we do not now have to bother. it was the cause of great trouble and bitterness of feeling in the early centuries. 1 may not perhaps be very generally known that there are millions of people in Eastern Flu rc-7o and Asia and Africa who are de- vout .Christians-as devout as any in the Roman and Protestant Christians upon a point of creed which, though a comparatively minor consideration, separates them almost as widely as are Christians from pagans
 "These people of whom I speak in- clude the followers of the Greek Church. or the Eastern Church. In the early centuries. when the center of Christianity was first at Jerusalem, and. after the destruction of that city, at Alexandria, Egypt, there was but one Christian church. Later. however. a discussion arose as to the power of the Son of God. One faction contended that the Son and Father had equal power: the other that the Father was all-powerful. Over these two conten- tions ultimately arose strifes and struggles and finally -oat wars

N ASTER Monday in Washington
 is an event in the lives of the W children which Is ahead of any
 other day in the year excepting Christmas and Fourth of July.
 Why? Because Easter Monday means egg-rolling. For many years the little ones of Washington have congregated by hundreds of thousands to roll eggs Easter Monday in the beautiful grounds surrounding the home of the President of the nation. There is no sign to keep off the grass and there are no restrtc- tions. The children own the place. The green grass of the White House lawns Is covered with children, children in- numerable, rolling eggs on the grassy slopes.
 If the day is pleasant 1t is sight to be remembered. The children have been looking forward to the festival for days and weeks and gre~t has been their anticipation. But genuine is the sorrow and many the tears among the little ones if Easter Sunday should be cold and rainy with promise of bad Mon day. Yet no weather has ever been so bad as to Keep every one away from the White House grounds on egg-rolling day. There are many hardy little spirits who will not be daunted by snow or cold or rain when it comes to rolling eggs.
 But if the day is pleasant and the air ba!my and the turf warm and green, what time the children have. Such games as they invent to be played with their eggs-rames of infinite variation and containing infinite amusement. The grounds loO.. more like a juvenile fair than anything else-an egg fair and the biddy hens around Washington must needs have been very diligent for many days before. If the day is fair, too, the glorious Marine Band, the finest band in the country, plays sweet music and the children dance and gam bol to its strains. Truly it is children's day in Washington.
 By o'clock in the morning the grounds are actually taken possession of. by the youngsters, little kids with wicker baskets and vari-colored eggs. wonderful eggs of green and blue and red and purple and gold and then eggs full figures, uch as would make a wise hen cock her head on one side and wonder greatly what had happened to her plain white eggs.
 All sorts and conditions of children find their way to the Presidents grounds to enjoy an Easter Monday. Some of the children are beautifuliy dressed in silks and laceS and have French nurses to watch OCT them and carry their eggs for them, while other little ones are dressed in very shabby garments with elbows out and toes peeping from their little shoes. They perhaps have only three or four plainly colored eggs boiled in a piece of purple
