PALM SUNDAY
A Holy Week of Widely Varying
 Significance.

This is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, or as it is called in the Roman. Passion Week. In the Latin and Greek churches, though, Passion Week precedes Palm Sunday and begins with Passion Sunday. This is the last week of Lent It is called holy be- cause it is commemorative of Christs death. It has beer given various names in different countries and diff ferent ages. In the middle ages it was called the authentic week. In Ger many, Denmark and Norway and Sweden it is known as Still week.
 A distinguishing feature of it's oh servance' is a rigorous fast. The early Christians took only one meal day, in the evening, of bread, salt and water Many abstained from food during the entire week. The greater number of Protestant churches do not observe the week, though many of them or some of the Phoenix churches hold special and significant services on this day.
 The distribution of the palms today, which constitutes the beginning of the ceremonies of the Roman and Greek cnuTcQ6S, IS SyuIDOlJC OI CuIISI , 61L1y into Jerusalem, preceded, as He was, by waving branches. The service IS changed daily in significance of the gloom and danger which was gather ing around Him. The doleful Miserere fills the darkened churches The if teen candles representing the light of Christ and the prophets who have foretold His coming are eXtinguished, all but one, a flickering beam in the darkness of the world. The lowest depth of despair is reached on Friday. The following is a description of the return of light and joy.
 'On Good Friday the altar is denuded to signify the desolatiOn of the church, the prophecies are sung which pertain to the story of Christ's suffering, the whole body of the faithful perform what is called the adoratiOn of the cross, the passion according to St. John is chanted, and all proceed in silence to the sepulcher whence the concentrated host is brought back in procession, offered in adOratiOn to the people and consumed by the celebrant.
 'On Saturday the services begin by the blessing of the new fire obtained from flint and steel, because cur true vital light and warmth come from Christ, our Rock; the blessing of the paschal candle, an emblem of Christ arisen; the chanting of all the prophetic passages of the Old Testa- then the benediction of the baptismal

NO SCHOOL SEGREGATION
Luhrs and Hill Overwhelmingly EIeC-
 cd 10 Inc High School Board.

The school election yesterday was a little the hottest moral and educational contest ever pulled off in Phoenix In the manifestatin of popular interest it more rcsembled a general election of a delegate to congress and county and precinct officers. Most of the hacks and carriages in town were impressed into service, decorated with banners and driven into the furthermOst corn CTS of the district for the encourage ment of voters, who needed very little encouragement, for they had gathered from The Republican yesterday morn ing that the election meant something more than q formal change Of school trustees The school system itself was threatened and segregation could be defeated only by activity. The interest naturally collected at the high school building and considerably more than half of the largest vote ever polled at Phoenix school election was cast be- fore noon.
 There was a good vote at the central building, considering the fact that there was no contest there, and it was known there would be none w. H. RODlnSOn, the only candidate for the vacancy on the grammar school board received 292 votes.
 IL was evident quite early in the day that segregation was again de- feated and that the symmetry of the school system was safe for at least an other year. The opponents of division did not permit themselves to be blind ed by the CTeager or anti-Creager issue. It did not matter to them who should be superintendent so much as that the integrity of the schools should Ec unshal1en. The polls closed at o'clock, while many voters under stood that they would be kept open un- til six. One installment Of nineteen voters came to the polling place after the count was begun and others kept dropping in until it was ended.
 On behalf of Messrs. Gillette and Scott, who it was currently reported were for segregation, the following hand bill in loud type was issued early and circulated widely. but it was evi- dently not read extensively:

 Do no believe the false stories cir culated about School Division. That is only election nonsense to deceive the voters.

A WOLF CALF
A Strange and Horrible ffonstrOsilY
 at o. II. ChristY'S Ranch.

Mir o. H. Christy has lately delib- erately destroyed what some men would have looked upon as a fortune. few days ago one of his COWS dropped 3 calf which was horrible monstros- ity. It was perfectly formed as to every part except the head, which was that of wolf. The ears were long, erect and sharp pointed. The jaws were long and sharp and the lower enc much the longer. The lower lip hung down about three inches and the jaws were filled with small secTated tseth On account of the conformation of the mouth this strange beast was unable to suck It had to be thrown dclWn and milk was poured down it's throat from a bottle. This kindly attention was resisted The canine resemblance was carried beyond the shape of the head. The noise made by the calf was at times precisely like ths Whimper Of a pup, and at others like the whining of one The sight of it was revo.ting at times, and Mir. Ghristy reviewed 1t each succeeding time with increased disgust Then he began regarding 1t with a sort of horror, which grew more pronounced as the animal seemed to tnflVe ana give PiolhISe O1 liFi Fi1i9, His aversion to it thriyed in equal ratio and at length he killed it. It's appearance dead was even more revclt- ing than when it was living. MT. ChTisty didn't want even it's dead body to have Judgment on his farm or under it. He built q big bonfire Over its car cass and kept it burning until nothing was left of this freak of nature, one of tho strangest On record. for there is nc. record of anything like it.
 This calf would have made the for tune of a dime mussum prop. ietor.

Nebraska Republicans.

OMAHA, NEB Sept, 81 The Re-

o of the most harmonious gatherings
ever held by the party in this State.
M. B. Reese was nominated for su-

Reese has served six years on the SUI

resume the practice of his profession.
A platform was adopted which heartily

Yellow Fever.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-The yellow
fever situation at Key West still causes
the gravest apprehension. Since the
first case reported about three weeks
ago the epidemic mas been steadily
growing until to-day there are almost
400 cases. New cases are appearing at
the rate of about thirty per day but the
mortality is low. Fifty-four cases and
two deaths are reported for Sunday
and Monday. Attendant Hall, one of
the marine hospital staff, developed
the disease last night and has been iso-
lated.
AS Key West is situated below the
frost line no hope of relief is held out
for cooler weather, and the epidemic
will have to run its course. The ma
rine hospital service has been directing
it's efforts to combining the epidemic to
the island and have been rewarded with
signal success.

reigned to-day in Mechanics hall. The
cause of the tumult, which ragged for
nearly three hours, was the question

Of the State committee in presenting a
list OF delegates to the national conven-
ton OF Democrats next June. 1t was
claimed by those who opposed the idea
that it was against all precedent and
robbed the various districts of their
constitutional rights.
The finale of all the confusion and
discord was the overwhelming passage
of every motion and report that was
made by the State committee, or that
portion of the party organization, which
is guided by Mr.. Williams, namely, the
adoption of the platform as presented,
the nomination of State ticket, headed
by Robert Treat Paine, Jr., candidate
for governor and John H. Mack for
Acknowledgements, and the election of
national convention delegates.
The delegates were finally elected.
They are Hon. George Fred Williams,

Grand Jury Rooms.

The Free Press publishes some COM
ments on the character of the accom-
modations provided for The grand jury
by Chittenden county, which apply
with equal force to Washington county.
OF the quarters occupied by this tri-
bunal in that county the Free Press
says:
We are not putting it too str ong when we
say that the present quarters OF the grand
jury are a reflection on the taxpayers of
Chittenden county. and if they could ex.
anime all parts of the court house for them
selves ninety-nine out of every one hun
dred would undoubtedly say the same
thing.
The quarters of the Washington
County grand jury are not in the attic
of the court house, as is the case in
Chittenden, but the size OF the room in
which eighteen men are compelled to
sit, sometimes for many weeks, in the
performance of their duties, the facil
tiles for light and ventilation, the &C.
commodations in the way of furniture,
are reproach to the county. The
deliberations of tribunal dealing with
the rights aud liberties of freemen
should be held in quarters approx-
mating at least, in matters pertaining
to health and comfort, those the coun-
ty provides for people charged with
offenses against the law. For this
class of unfortunates new and COM
modious Jail has been provided. This
other class of unfortnnates, the grand
jurors, are certainly entitled to similar
consideration at the hands of the
county, and they ought to receive it
without delay. Something of the pro.
vision made for the comfort OF the
court in trying cases ought to be pre-
pared for this coordinate branch of the
judicial machinery.

The Capitol Fence.

The State House fence will probably
be removed, Notwithstanding the OBJ
jections of many people, so forcibly
stated in Saturdays JOURNAL by a res
ident of fifty years, and one whose
Judgment in general affairs, and in
particular in matter of this kind, is
worthy of all consideration, and carries
conclusive weight when it is sustained
by its personal utterance. Said one
yesterday who has spent several years
abroad and is familiar with the public
buildings of Eur pc, proposal to re-
move such an Enclosure would be indig-
nantly resented there. The massive pill
lars of the entrance are an essential part
of the structure, harmonizing with the
whole plan of the Capitol and its out
living parts. AS soon think of tearing
away the steps ascending the terraces,
or the columns of the portico. Even if
the entrance posts are left standing,
the combination would be broken and
they would appear more like ruins some
vandal had spared from choice or ne
cessity, than appropriate parts of per-
feet structure. The hasty removal az

Dreyfus is pardoned, but he is not
indicated. France gives him free
dom but does not remove the brand
she has burned into the name of an in
nocent man. That may come later.
Meantime the smart of the burn is re-
lieved by the belief all the world has
expressed that he is innocent. There
is soothing in the ointment of sympathy
that comes to him from every nation.
France, not Dreyfus, is in need of re-
Mobilization in the ewes of the world.
This hideous juggling with innocence
and honor, condemnipg man for trea-

the baseness OF the charge and the
means by which it was sustained, then
pardoning the victim of the tragic
farce, for the time saves the army and
pacifies France. So deep and putrid

The TransyaaI.

LONDON, September 19-It is an.
nounced this evening from the war Of
fee that the British first class protect
ed cruisers Terrible and Powerful have
been ordered to the Cape. They have
reliefs on board capable of forming
naval brigade of a thousand men.
Summons were issued late this after
noon for a cabinet council which, it is
understood, will be held Friday. This
is regarded as the result of the visit of
the premier, Lord Salisbury, to Lon.
don, whence he came this afternoon.
The lack of all excitement in official
circles gives evidence of the deliberate
manner in which the highest officers
are handling the crisis. Nor is it by
any means certain that the cabinet
council will adopt extreme measures,
in spite of the uncompromisihg nature
of the Boer reply. This deliberation
on the part Of the government is inter-
preted not only in London but the
other European capitals as desire on
the part of Great Britain to gain time
while the transports are hurrying to
Cape Colony.
The Berliner Neustendcrichten says
today: "The present calm is only
meant to deceive the Beers. When
England feels equal TO facing the Beers
this pesceful tone will give way to a
blatant cry for war;" Even rumors of
movement of the Beers across the
Natal border apparently fail to excite
the military authorities here, who pro-
fess at least not to fear such contin-
gency for the present. In the mean
time the movement of troops con-
| tinues.

full settlement, but warns Miner that
the burghers may resent military pre-.
parations on the border. If unwished
for development arises therefrom, con .
tinues Steyn's reply, responsibility
lies not with this government"
The result of the meeting of the
Orange Free State Rad today is await
ed with intense interest. The Cape
Dutch sent strong telegram 10 Kru-

paihy and urging him to do his utmost
in behalf OF peace. Kruger replying
