The Father Of the Philippines
wished his government to know he was
still on the earth and keeping up his

pened just as he desired. Otis reported
to Washington and then there came a
cablegram to Dewey directly from Sec

transports to Iloilo. Orders straight
from Washington to him rather than
from Otis were what Dewey wanted

Easter in Russia.
Big Easter candles burn in the palace
in Russia and the full ceremonial of the
+ Greek church is carried out except
that men and women do not kiss each
other upon the lips, the man kissing
the woman's hand at the same time she
Is touching her lips to his forehead, a
custom that cannot be performed grace
fully until 1t has been practiced many
times. In Russia the dinner also plays
an important part, and in the palaces
of the nobility the feasting is most ex-
travagant Wine flows freely every
where, sometimes even being given to
the horses.
In Hungary meat is not eaten during
the 40 days of Lent, but early during
holy week the preparation for the East
err feast begins. Hams are boiled, veal
and lamb are roasted, eggs are BOILED,
cakes are baked. and on Good Friday.
butter is churned. On Easter day all
the provisions for the big repast are
packed in baskets and taken to the
church, where they are placed before
the altar to be sprinkled with holy wa
ter.
Austria's Pomp.
In Austria Easter is celebrated much
in the same way as in Hungary AS
the Vienna court is the most elegant in
all Europe, however. the ceremonials
are more elaborate than at Budapest,
but the use of the cold water has never
prevailed. In Spain and Italy Easter IS
the day of PROFESSIONS
In the churches nothing that would
add to the grandeur Of the ceremonial
is omitted. and the music is finer than
at any other festival during the year.
Then there are professions and the gen.
eral merrymaking that includes elabor-
ate dinners and much wine. In Italy
the celebration in the private chapel of
the king is carried out almost as luXur-
iously as at ST. Peters.
Easter days are great holidays in Po-
land. For two weeks the celebration
absorbs the attention of the people. The
real holiday, however. begins on Good
Friday, when old and young rich and
poor. peasant and noble fast and pray
at the grave of Christ. an artificial
grave in which a waxen image lies. On
Friday night the entire court listens to
the singing of the Stabat Mater. The
infantry regiments turn out in force
and stand at attention during the SER
vice, some in the church. others on the
street just outside the door.
Sunday, of course. is the joyous day.
Mass is celebrated with all ceremonial,
and after the service the feas'ting be-
gins. Neighbor call on neighbor, enc
mics meet and forgive wrongs, real or
imaginary. Good things that have been
prepared during the week are served
cold. Bright colored eggs and boughs
of lockwood decorate hams, eausages,
wild boars' heads and innumerable
kinds of pastry, of all of which one may
eat without fear for. as in Hungary, it
has first been blessed.
Amber-colored Hungarian wine flows
freely, and if at an early hour those
who have participated in the feasting
are not ready to retire it is taken as
evidence that they have not done their
duty by the good things that have been
provided.

VIXEN Admiral Farragut, commanding

the flagship, determined to force the
passage of the forts and take New Or

most brilliant achievement in naval his

leled by Dewey's glorious victory at

and all manner of terrors were appre-
hended, but there was no Wavering.
D. the :orpedoes,' cried Farragut.
Go ahead!' And the robust language
of the old fire-eater took its place
among sentences historical.
Led by Hartford, from whose sides
there helched fire, smoke and metal in
a continuous stream, the squadron
passed the confederate forts jackson
and St Philip and took New Orleans on
the following day. Farragut then at
tackled and captured the principal gulf

task he had set for himself.

SOME SALIENT FACTS,

Portland Is almost TWICE AS NEAR

TWICE AS NEAR THE WHEAT

as ACTUAL DISTANCE,
Portland Is also 400 MILES NEARER
THE WHEAT MARKET. and her

competent authority, adds 10 per cent to

Yet strange TO tell. Povland's rail-

Stranger stnl the Portland railroad is

But stranger far than all is the fact
that. despite all these advantages. wheat

Why does the Portland railroad charge
so much more per ton per mile for freight
TO the farmers loss?
Why does Portiands railroad pay this
bonus out Of the farmers toll TO get
grain ships to Portlaad's wharyes?
Why do the farmers lose so much on
their products through the efforts Of
the o. R. & n. Company to make Port !
land an artificial seaport. and the re-
fusal OF that company to put Astoria and |
Tacoma on equal perms as to fright?
The answer is plain: Because Portland |
IS an inferior port where only the small
ships Of commerce can 60 Small ships
