BRIGANDs BUSY IN NAPLES.
Foreigners Boldly Robbed i'm the
Heart of the City.

ROME, April 6.-Americans who pro-
pose to visit Europe this year will do
well to give Naples a wide berth until the
NeapoIitan authorities concluded 10 set
their house in order. Brigandage has long
been rampant in that vicinity, but until
recently the city itself was not insecure.
Now. however. the streets OF Naples
abound with armed rufiians whose pecu-
liar quarry is foreigners. Englishmen and
Americans preferred. The American Con-

his hands. The latest is that of Henry

suppose q stranger would be safe from

American was hustled around and robbed
of a gold watch and chain in Marina

that a local paper. in order to move the

A wEsTERNER IN TROUBLE.
Held on the Charge of Shooting a
New York Politician.

NEW YORK, April 6--George Hill. a
Western miner who came here from
Council Bluffs a week ago, found himself
in police court today. Thomas F. Dolan,
a local politician, and his companion in a
social way, was unable TO appear because
of bullet wound in the breast, which six
witnesses said had been inflicted by the
Western man. Dolan was in Harlem Hos
pital, and it was said by the physician
there that his chances OF recovery were
none of the best.
Hill, when arraigned in the police court,
was held to await the result of Dolan' 5
injuries. The prisoner himself bore cvi-
dence that the encounter had not been
wholly one-sided. The police said that
some of the witnesses alsoiFwould have to
explain their part in the affair.
The place where the row. occurred was
The Golden Oar saloon az 1z2 East 18th
Street. a resort for politicians. What
caused the trouble neither the police nor

FIXING A DAY FOR EASTER
Old Controversies Over the Oh
sePvance of the Festival.
The PaschaI Dispute and the Edict
of Victor. Bishop of Rome - The
Canon OF the Ecumenicai Council
of Nice in the Fourth Century.

Next TO Christmas. Easter is the great
est festival OF the Christian world. In
primitive times it was usual for Christians
TO salute each other on the morning OF
this dav by exclaiming, Christ is risen,
TO which the person saluted replied: He
is risen. indeed" or else, And hath ap-
neared unto Simon custom still re-
tanned in the Greek Church.
The common name Of this festival IN
the East was the Paschal Feast, because
kent at the same time as the Pascha, or
Jewish Passover. and IN some measure
succeeding TO it. In the sixth OF the
Ancyran Canons 1t is called the Great
Dav." The term Easter is derived, as
some suppose from "EOstre,' the name
Of o Saxon deity, whose feast was cele-
brated every year in the spring, the
name being retained when the character
Of the feast was changed; or, as others
suppose. from "Oster' which signifies
rising. II the latter theory be correct,
Faster is in name, as well as reality, the
feast Of the resurrection.
Although there has never been any diff
ference Of opinion in the Christian
Church az to why Easter is kept. there
has been a good deal as 10 when IL ought
To be kept. II is one Of the movable
feasts: that is, il is not fixed 10 one par
ticuiar day-like Christmas Day, FOR in
stance which always falls on the 18th Of
December-but moves backwards or for
wards according as the fun moon next
after the vernaI equinox falls nearer or
further from the equinox. The accepted
rule for ascertalning the day upon which
Easter falls is as follows: Easter Day
is always the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens upon or next after
the 2lst day Of March; and If the fun
moon happens upon Sunday, Easter Day
Is the Sunday after.
The Paschal controversy. which for q
time divided Christendom, grew out Of
diversity Of custom. The churches Of
Asia Minor. including many JudaiZing

Passover. the 18th OF Nisan. the Jewish
month corresponding 70 our March or

tfvai on the Sunday following the 18th Of
Nisan. BY so doing they hoped not only

CURED, but also 20 distinguish themselves
more effectually from the Jews. For q
time this difference was borne with mu-
tual forbearance and charity And when
disputes began to arise, Polycarp, the
venerable Bishop of Smyrna, when on a
visit TO Rome. took the opportunity of
conferrfng with Anicetas. Bishop OF that
city, upon the question. Polycarp pleaded

LUCKY ACCIDENT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCILMAN,

Mayor and Mrs. Spicer and Coun-
Gilman and Mrs. Fred Tregoning had
a close call for their lives last Satur-
day afternoon. and it is a wonder to
them now how some of the party es-
capped without serious injury.
They were driving in a double-seated
vehicle, when the animal took fright
at a locomotive. 1t started to run
away, when one of the lines broke,
leaving the mayor, who was driving,
powerless to stop it.
The animal ran into a pile of rail,
road ties and tore itself loose from the
vehicle, leaving the two ladies abso,
lutely unhurt. Mayor Spicer was
thrown against the front of the carri-
age, Mr.. Tregoning had jumped in an
effort to catch the animals bride, but
was not seriously hurt.
The horse ran across the tracks at
Grand avenue, tearing up a switch as
it went.
