COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Houston Post: Ohio Republicans are
said to be tirlns of Hanna bossism. So

another thing 10 shake them of. The
shackles Hanna has on the Republican
party are double-plated and double
riveted.
/ Cleveland Plain Dealer: The wry-faced.
! hunchbacked, human monkey. otherwise
known as the scorcher, Is again at liberty.
4 The scorcher is a menace to every pedes-
I trian and to every decent bicyclist. He
should be suppressed. The police should
1 begin vigorous campaign against him
and he should be nabbed wherever found.
II is o. little concern that the scorcher
is unmindful of his own safety; the con-
Germ is that he has no regard for the
safety of others. A few days of solitary
confinement in the county jail would have
a salutary effect upon the scorcher.

unions take occasion to put the people of

federate veterans and people of the south
ask only that the uncolored truth shall
be told about that unfortunate struggle
between the states and the causes leading
up to il. They want no apologies from any
body for them or their conduct. God
knows they need none. They do MOI ask
that anybody write a so-called history
and give them all the glory OF the war
They would deSpise a book OF that sort
and its writer. They want to see equal
justice done to both sides to Ele civil war

the conflicting flags. Taking this stand
for fairness and the truth of history
they demand that all false accounts Of
what occurred in the war between the
states shall be properly branded.

Good Friday and
its Significance

Today, throughout Christendom, women and children are standing with bowed heads before the emblem of salvation which crowns the heights of Calvary.
 The cross, upon which hangs the blessed Savior, stands outlined against the blue skies, and, wherever the gospel is preached, the story of the crucifxion will be told by priest and people. In the temples there will be signs of mourning and distress, no sound of Te Deums or jubilates will tell of re- joicing, for the Christian world keeps in holy solemnity this day of the Savlors death. The noise and clamor of the marts of trade are lesseped and the law of na- tions makes this one of solemn worship. Pleasure and joy are silenced and only prayer and application find voice through out the whole of Christendom.
 There are in every human heart that is worth the saving, dark Good Fridays with heavy crosses, upon which crucified the souls sweetest, dearest hopes and as- pirations.
 In every soul there are cross-crowned Calvaries, where are offered up the ambi- tions of a lifetime. There come to all, days when the very veil of the hearts tenn pie is rent in twain; when the disappoint- ments and agones of a life creep out of their graves like long-buried corpse, and Hlock the soui Witn SiSHliesS eyes anu fieshless hands. There are Good Fridays in every existence, when darkness and de- spair, like pail, rests upon the face of nature. But, thank God, there are tombs, where the agony and suffering can be given rock-hewn sepulture like that in which the Christ was buried, to await the joyous awakening of the Easter morn. Today the agony of Calvary, tomorrow gentle sleep in the tomb of Joseph of Arithmethea, and then the glorious Easter Day, when Christ shall conquer. death.

The Bermuda Farms
 Of Easter Lilies

Just at this Easter tide one hears so much of the Easter lilly that condensed account of their cultivation from a recent exchange will prove interesting and instructive:
 The lily farmer in Bermuda devotes his attention exclusively to the cultivation of the bulb for purposes of export. The in- dustry has grown steadily since the intro duction of the flower, and the highest point ever attained in the market was reached in 1895, when in order to supply the Easter de- mand for last year, nearly three million bulbs were exported. Of these about two hundred and fifty thousand were forwarded to Europe, the majority to London, and the remainder to leading cities in Germany and France. Because of >the duty recently placed on bulbs, these intended for Euro- pean markets are shipped via Halifax, where, heretofore, they passed through New York.
 In order to become marketable bulb must measure at least five inches in cir conference and, starting from "scale," the technical name for one of the folds CT petals of a matured bulb, three years of training and care Is required before 1t att tains this size. The bulbs are cultivated in three special classes or sizes, viz. the five to sevens," g seven to hines" and mine to elevens," the numbers denoting the aver age size of circumference in inches. As the time required for the production of the larger bulbs Is much longer and for the reason that they bear a greater number of blooms, or blossoms, the price Is corre- spondingly higher.
 There are nearly two hundred farms in Bermuda which are devoted exclusively to the cultivation of the lily. Frost is un- known there, and because of the peculiar climate the lily will grow and thrive at any season. The bulbs are planted in October. and, with the exception of keeping the field clear of weeds, the farmer has little difficulty in raising his crop. He reies greatly upon the rain and sunshine for success. With a purely natural growth, the field bursts into blossom about the lat ter part of February or the first of April, and at Sunnylands, the largest of the big farms just outside of Hamilton, 1t is common sight to see 100000 or more Of the lilies in full bloom in single field.
 At this season of the year one enjoys much of the beauty of the lily farm long before it is reached, for the gentle breezes are heavy with the rich perfume, and at such periods when the whole island is virtually in bloom tho delicate odors are distinctly recognized on incoming steamers miles at sea.
 The field retains its beautiful erect or snow white purity for nearly month ana longer Then the stalk dries and the nour- ishment goes back into the bulb During the latter part of June the digging com menccs. and as the bulbs are taken from the ground they are assorted by the ex- merits and carefully packed in boxes, ready for shipment which begins in July, and is continued through August.

A Wonderful Art Collection
 Donated to the Government

Mrs. Gardiner Greene Hubbard has re- gently donated the magnificent collection of engravings and art books, the property of her late husband, to the library of con- gress, with the provision that 1t be made accessible to the public if accepted by con- gress.
 A resolution has been introduced in the house of representatives at Washington em- towering the librarian, MT. John Russell Young, to accept the gift
 This art collection is considered by ex- perts who are familiar with 1t as the most valuable and instructive in the country.
 Mr. Hubbard devoted many years and large sums of money in gathering these treasures together. The collection contains the best examples of the masters in the va rious modern and ancient schools. There are specimens of such Italian artists as Marc Antonio Raimondi, Carracci, Spagno- letto, and others equally famous. Germany Is represented by her best engravers; the French school by the ancient and modern masters; so with the English part of the collection, which includes the works of Delaram, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Strange and Turner.
 The United States is well represented, and that part of the collection contains the largest number of Rembrant's in this coun- try, many of great value.
 MT. Hubbard had preceived in this won- derful aggregation of rare specimens of the work of artists from all parts of the world one hundred portraits of Frederick, the Great, and three hundred of Napoleon, the First. If accepted a competent person will be detailed from the staff of the con- gressional library to take charge of this valuable collection, to have it properly an notated and catalogued, and to see that it is kept accessible to the people of the United States.

THE TELLTALE PEDOMETER.
n the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 A wife's unjust suspicious were the cause of very strained relations recently between a young couple living on Columbia avenue, near Twentieth street. She got the idea into her head that he was deceiving her when he said, as he frequently did, that The was going around the corner for the evening to see a friend" In an attempt to do a little detective work she bought a pocket pedometer, an instrument resemb- ling a watch, which registers the distance travelled by the person who carries 1t. The next time her husband went "around the corner'' she secretly slipped 1t into one of his pockets and awaited the result. When he returned that night she found the tell tale instrument registered nine miles. In vain he attempted to convince her that he had simply been playing billiards with his friend on the latters private table, which was really the case and the instrument had counted up the miles as he walked around the table. Her accusations led to a violent quarrel, which was settled only af- ter several days had elapsed.
