Edonard Remenji the famous Hunga-
rian violinist, dropped dead while playing
the violin in a theatre in San Francisco
Sunday evening. In response to an en-
core he began the pizz,. ITO from "Sil-
via,' when he fell on his face and died
close to the foOtlights. He was one of
the famous vioinists of the age and his
death will be regretted by the musical
world.
Let lis be honest in these matters. So
far we have got the worst of it in and
around Cuba. The idea of trying to land
700 rifles for the Insurgents by the aid
of little gunboat is worthy only of
some brain in a back room at Washing

the system Is flying along the track OF dis
ease at such a frightful pace that no ordinary
methods will prevent disaster. There are
plenty of medicines which act merely as
Srakes to "slow up" the disease and put

enough. What is needed is a medicine that
will instantly reverse the entire wasting,

HISTORICAL FACTS.

II IS interesting TO know something
about the historical facts that determine
the date Of the festival. The Book OF
Common Prayer tells us that Easter al
ways came the first Sunday Of the full
moon, which appears on or after March
Hst. and If the full moon comes on sun
day. then yesterday is the Sunday foi-
lowing. This, OF course. we accept, ana
keep the festival at that time from year
90 year Let us look u little more closely
into the matter and see how this was de-
tcrmined.
The French Paques. Italian Pasqua,
Swedish Pask and the names Of the res
uval IN several other languages come
from the Latin pascha, meaning pass
over. and originated with the belief that
Christ was typihed by the paschal lamp
slain al the Feast Of the Passover, Which
was ordained by Moses in remembrance
Or the passing over Of the Israeiites wheh

The early Christians continued 10 keep
the Jewish feast for only a short time
and then celebrated in its place the Chris
uan Passover. Instituted by Christ at me

fore His cruclhxlon. The Greek and Iatis
churches, however, did not agree as To
the exact time Of the Easter celebration
and while some were mourning IN COM

The Treaty Resting.

Washington, March 6.-For two
hours yesterday the Senate committee
on foreign relations discu sed the ad
Instability of abandoning the Hawaiian
annexation treaty in view Of the fact
that 80 votes, the necessary two thirds,
cannot be obtained for its ratification.
The members of the committee were
sworn to secrecy, and therefore no Of
fetal statement of the action taken is
obtainable, There is every reason to
believe, however, that Chairman Dav-
is was instructed to report to the Sen
ate joint resolution providing for an
nexation and to press it to vote at
this session.
The joint resolution agreed upon is
not the one introduced some time ago
by Senator Morgan, but is new prop
ostion, drawn so as to meet existing
conditions in the Senate. The Morgan
resolution contains the full text OF the
annexation treaty, yhile that TO be re-
ported by Senator Davis does not.
The subject matter Of the treaty is con.
tanned in it, of course, but The form Of
the joint resolution is changed SO that
the committee cannot be charged with
having abandoned one draft OF the
treaty only to bring in another. Sen
ator Davis has prepared speech to
accompany the introduction of the res
luton, in which he goes over much OF
the ground Of his able argument made
in executive session, eliminating such
portions as it would not be proper to
deliver while the doors Of the Senate
are open to the public.
1t will not be necessary for the for
eign relations committee formally to a.
bandon the treaty. 1t will simply be
allowed to lie on the table, while the
Joint resolution will be taken up aud
and pressed to vote as expeditlously
as possible. The opponents OF the
treaty will oppose the joint resolution
as we'll, but unless they should resort to
filibusterlng tactics. it is thought that
after a reasonable season of debate the
joint resolution can be passed by a good
sized majority. Its fate in the House of
Representatives is uncertain, as Speak
er Reed and some of his republican
leutenants are known to be opposed to
the annexation of Hawaii or any other
territory.
The joint resolution, it was said last
night, would not be reported until after
a vote had been taken on the treaty d. |
rect with view to determining the ex.
act strength Of the annexationists in the |
Senate.
