A k0RAvlAN EASTER.
How the People of Lititz, Pa, Celebrated
the Hoiy Day.

the Hoiy Day.
From tie Philadelphia Press
Every Easter Sunday finds the towns
people Of LititZ, In Lancaster County, all
astir very early IN the morning. The re-
ligicus from the neighboring country side
nave poured into the little village the day
previous and most of them spend but lit
tie Of the night in bed
The fact is, they have to get I'D al a.
nj. 1t is then that the members OF the
Mcravlan ChJrchs ''trombc ne band" the
name OF which sufficiently explains Itself
assemble at the church building They
are the represe natives of an old tradi-
ton, ar Institution almost as old as their
sect. and from days prehistoric in the
denominations history their sonorous but
rather harsh instruments have performed
the awakening service. BY the light of
fiaring torches the band ascends to the
old belfry. high above the town, and
there on a sudden announces the advent
of another Eastertide to the waiting ears
below, announces its glad news in the
music of hymns as old as Christianity it.
self On the instant the whole town is
awake, darkened windows flash with
lights. barred doors are opened and the
silent streets again filled with worship
ers The bells peal forth a chorus and
a summons and soon the church Is filled
to the very doors.
For some time they must wait. Then,
Just as the first streaks of the red spring
dawn burst through the mullioned win
dows. there raises over the hushed audi
torium the anthem, He Is Risen" AT
the conclusion of the brief service pro-
cession of all present makes its Way 10
the burying ground The band. playing i
dirge, leads the way past the herald!e
tomb OF Sutter, the discoverer Of Calitor-
MAS gold, up among the curious fiat
tombstones of the Old Cemetery. On many
of these is the single word. 'Beata,' the
inscription placed over the body OF an ua-
christened infant. The graves are ar
ranged in rows, men on one side and wom-
en- on the other. No regard Is paid to
family ties, because they are all Of one
family of one fold. Here sleep the pio-
neers of the faitn, and here and in the
New Cemetery, where a more modern sys-
TEN prevails. another service is held.
1t is a fitting thing and a solemn. No
one who has seen il will ever forget it,
this levee of the dead who receive the liv-
ing upon the yellow resurrection day.
Quiet though ii is there is all the fervor
Of the celebration Of the sacred fire in
Jerusalem; humble as 1t is, there is all
the dignity of the service in the Sistine
Chapel al Rome.

CANNOT RETIRE UNDER FIRE.
rchbfshOp ChapeIIe Says That the
Philippines should Be Retained

Secretary Root received another call this
morning from Archbishop ChapelIe. the
apostolic delegate for the Philippines. Cuba
and Porto Rico, who was accompanied by
Father McKimmon. one of the American
priests who has seen much service In the
Philippines. The conference was for the
purpose OF discussing the archbshop's
forthcoming trip to the Philippines proba-
Oily by the transport Sherman, leaving San
francisco on the 10th ultimo.
The archbishop said today that the CON
troversy aroused by Gen. Funston con-
corning the priesthood in the Philippines
had now been closed. so far as he was
concerned. although he hardly thought that
Cen Funston had improved his position
by MS latest utterance, saying the DomfnI-
cans We're the ones at fault. as the arch
hlshop OF Manila, one of the ablest men in
the Islands and one who had done great
good IN cooperating with the Americans
was himself "a Dominican.
Nhen Archbishop Chapelle was asked if
ne would express an opinion as to whether
the United States should retain control
of the Philippines, he said il was eirnnIv
a question of whether the United States
ShouId retlre under fire." and he did not
peieFe IN any such doctrine. The anti
lmperaltSt element, the archbishop said
mad gone entirely too far in nronosing
mat we withdraw in the face of an armed
enemy There might have been some o1las-
Ioi even among Idlr-fnnded men. he said
as 10 the desirability of taking over the
Ihllppnes. But that question was a thing
OF the past, and, having taken over the
archipelago under the treaty of peace. the
present question was narrowed down TO
the maintenance of American authority in
accordance with the responsibilities we had
assumed under the treaty
Archbishop Chapelle, who was present at
Parls during the negotiations leading I'D to
the peace treaty, said that he was con-
WINGED that if the United States had not
taken over the Philippine Islands some
other country would have done So Ger
tainly Spain, after the experience she had
gone through, would not have retained
them. Moreover, the archbishop pointed
out that the Philippines We're the stepping
stones to China, with the vast traffic which
that empire was rapidly opening to the
world. He added that in reality there was
no such issue as the one of "imperalism"
for the question to be met was simply one
OF intelligent dealing with actual existing
conditions and not with theories
In referring to Cuba and Porto Rico the
archbishop spoke of the excellent work
accomplished by Gems. Brooke and Davis
the respective governor generals, and said
that the malignng of Gen. Brooke, which
appeared from time to time, was quite I'M
justified, in view of his conservative and
yet capable administ ration of affairs In
conclusion the archbishp said that in his
coming trip to the Philippines he was GO
ing with an earnest desire to assist both
church and state.

Remarkable Performance of the
DahIgren OF BnIh. Ne

A dispatch from Bath, Maine, yesterday
says: BY obtaining a speed of thirty-one
knots an hour during several hours trial
at sea today. the new torpedo boat Dahl
gren exceeded her contract requirements
and proved herself a very able boat
At the same time she made better time
over mile course than has ever been
reached by a torpedo boat of her size in
the world. Todays trial was made under
very favorable conditions.
The torpedo boat Stringham. built bv
the Harlan and Hollingsworth Company of
Wilmington, Del, was given a preliminary
trial on the Delaware river yesterday. ONLY
her boilers and engines were tested. and
no attempt was made at speed. First one
boiler was tested and then a second was
given a trial. After this the two boilers
were worked together. In a few days an
other test will be made, when the third
boiler of the boat will be given a trial
The builders expressed themselves as be-
ing entirely satisfied with the work of the
boat yesterday. The Stringham will prob
ably be given dozen trials before the Off
cial test is made on Chesapeake bay.

terrible suffering on a Schooner
From Cape Nome, AIasIa

SUFFERING On a schooner
From Cape Nome, Alaska.
After a voyage Of twenty-eight days from
Cape Nome, during which two men died
from starvation and others We're half
crazed from want of food and water, the
schooner Hera arrived at Seattle yesterday
with nearly 200 passengers on board.
News Of the wretched plight of the Hera 8
passengers was brought there Sunday night
by the steamer Lakme The revenue cut
ter Grant and the tug Sea Lion Immediately
started after the schooner. They succeeded
in finding her about fifty miles off Cape
Flattery.
The two deaths reported are those Of j.
s. RYAN, who came on board well man,
but through bad food and lack Of attention
gradually grew worse until ne died on Oc-
tober 49, The other case is much the same.
George Lamby, through want of nourish-
ment and confinement in ill-ventilated quar-
tiers, was taken with typhoid fever and died
on October q. While he was sick he had
absolutely no medical attention. Both men
were buried at sea.
From the statements Of other passengers
1t was learned that the agent Of the ship
at Nome guaranteed them plenty of good
provisions on the way down. They were
charged $50 for their passage. When they
were few days out, meat, sugar and but
ter ran out. The menu consisted of salt
pork and canned mutton There was q
little dried fruit on board, but only enough
to supply the table three times with dried
