The Church closes her long and sorrow

the glories of the Easter tide. The gay
world that loves to eat, drink, and be
merry will throw aside its Lenten purple
as lightly as though it were masquerade
domino, and once more QCsen Fashion will
touch the social wheel and bid the wheel
go round. Today, however, many promi-
nent representatives of Washington society

which are among the most beautifully i'm
pressive of the ceremonies solemnized
throughout Lent. At the beginning of
mass in the Catholic churches this morning
the affairs are bare apd the sanctuary
shrouded in purple gloom. For two days
the bells have been silent in their steeples
and the choir has given no sound. Sudden
iy lamentations change to peans of praise.
The bells chime out jubilantly and organ
and choir mingle in a triumphant out
burst of harmony that proclaims the advent
OF the soon to be risen King The purple
disappears. and the gracious white majesty
of the altar blooms with Easter lilies and
glows with hundreds of lights. The faith
fui devotee who has tasted and prayed and
humbly sought to follow in the way Of the
cross thrills with joyous thankfulness that
the long. sad journey has been made with
out faltering, and that Lent for this year
is thing of the past.

Holmes lectured last night at the Column

talk is of somewhat lighter nature than
are those that have preceded it, being a
breezy account of the travellers ramblings
through land richer in its historic lore
richer for the antiquarian and for the plain
sightseer-than any other on the globe. Mr..
Holmes view of the country is more from
the latter point than from the former.
and is so both interesting and amusing,
besides giving no small amount of instruc-
ton. The discourse was illustrated with

will speak on The Yellowstone National

1t is said that ample warning was

at the cottage at the crossing, but all
in vain. These strange events will
occur. 1t may be that the advanced
age of Mr.. Rupart, who is about 70,

lnstructs For Capt. W. J. Stone
For Governor,
And Ron. I'm B. Chenault, OF
Madison County, For
Auditor.

Mass Convention of this county
to instruct for State nominees was
called to order by Chairman of the
County Committc Robert Mar
shall, who appointed CORTLAND P.
Chenault Temporary Secretary.
The names of Hon. j. Davis Reid
and j, w. Henry were offered for
Permanent Chairman and when vote
was taken the chair being unable
to decide the crowd retired to the
yard. 1t appeared that the Stone
following was far in advance of
that of Hon. VIM. Goebel and on
motion of H. r. Prewitt Mr.. Reid
was unanimously elected Chair
man and CORTLAND p. Chenault
Secretary.
Mr.. Reid on taking chair said:
"Fellow citizens l thank you for
the honor conferred by selecting
me to preside over this body. We
are Democrats; this is Democrat
ic meeting and only Democrats are
expected to participate. If there
are Republicans here they are for
once in good company. l ask you
to aid me in maintaining order"
Judge Day was recognized by Chair
and offered a resolution declaring
in favor of of the Chicago platform
of 1896 and naming delegates and
instructing them for Capt. w. j.
Stone, of Lyon county. A substi-
tute was offered by C. p. Chenault
favoring the same platform, the
reconciliation of W. jennings
Bryan for President and opposing
organized capital in its efforts
against the interest of the masses
and asking that the same delegates
be instructed in addition to casting
their vote for Capt. w. j. Stone
that they also cast the vote of this
comfy for John B. Chenault for
Auditor. Chairman put question
and declared it carried. Then was
put the question to adjourn and
Chairman declared Convention adj
journed.
At this point parties behind the
Chairman crowded againt or push
ed him off the Court House steps.
Then came an alteration between
friends of the opposing candidates
in which Judge B. F, Day got a
slight scratch. 1t appeared at one
time that general fight was on
and that much blood shed would be
the result, but friends interferred
and prevented any serious trouble.
At this time we cannot give any
accurate account of the disturb
ance and therefore await develop
ments. The most we. can say is it
was characteristic political mass
meeting.
After the smoke, as it were had
cleared away, another convention
WAS held in which Joe r. Turner
Vas elected Chairman, and w. B.
OCOnnell, Secretary. The instruc-
tions were for Goebel for Governor,
Smith for Attorney General, Hager
for Treasurer, Hill, Secretary or
State and Chenault for Auditor.

STOLEN ART TREASURES.
Napoleon Not the Only vandal in Gal
leries.

leries.
Napoleon was not the only Vandal
who has endeavored to carry off fine
masterpieces of art. Many of the
worlds celebrated paintings could re-
late queer stories of their loss and
finding. Gainsborough's beautiful
duchess of Devonshire" was stolen
in 1876 from Agnew's picture gallery
in Bond street, London, and every eff
fort to trace its destiny proved fruit
less. Finally, after disappearance
of over 20 years, the beautiful duchess
in the Gainsborough hat emerged
from the CRIME and seclusion of Gel
lar. A vestry official was obliged in
the routine of his office to visit the
basement of an old house in Smith
street, Chelsea, where he found an old
soiled picture destitute Of frame. He
easily procured its possession for a
small sum and at once communicated
to the picture dealers the result Of his
find. Agnew at once recognized the
kidnapped duchess and was obliged to
pay its possessor almost 5000 for his
discovery.
A French expert was equally fortu-
nate in finding Rubens' masterpiece,
"The Visitation" which was believed
to have been burned in a fire in the
Antwerp cathedral. The expert
found the canvas in an old curiosity
shop at Rheims and got its possession
in exchange for two Louis XIV. arm
chairs and Golfer of the sixteenth
century. When the shopkeeper
learned the value of the picture he
had bartered for such insignificant
values he resorted to law to redress
his injuries, but the court sustained
the Frenchman. The picture with
the portrait of Cardinal Pole, now
owned by the Marquis d'Oyley, was
stolen from the English college at
Rheims at the date of its breaking
up in the seventeenth century and
found lodging place in an old for
saken house until fate threw it into
the hands of the shopkeeper.
A portrait of dashing Nell Gwynn
by Sir Peter Lely was found by ply
stefan called in to attend the illness
of poor medical student who resided
in a small tenement. The doctor no.
ticed the tattered canvas on the wall
and purchased it for an insignificant
sum, not realizing the worth of his
discovery. When he sent it to be
cleaned the authorship of the paint
ing was made clear. Many other re-
markable works of world-famous
artists have undergone similar curl
GUS disappearance, small REM
brandt being lately purchased for
mere sixpence in rag and bone shop
