The branches of the Christian church,
which celebrate Easter, have made a rule
that Easter must be the first Sunday after
the full moon which falls on or next after
March 81 and if this full moon come on a
Sunday, Easter will the Sunday following.
In order to determine what date Easter comes
on, therefore it is necessary to know the
moon phases for March. As the moon phases
come back to the same dates every nineteen
years, Easter in 1901 will be on the same
day as in 1882, in 1902 Oh the same day as
in 1888 etc. Easter never earlier than March
% and never later than April 25.-Ex.

the maintenance of the cOnStltu,

economy in all public expenditures
and for the supremacy of the con-
stitution with all its guarantees
over every portion of our national
jurisdiction, and we should resist
by every honorable means III our
power the Republican efforts to
fasten upon our country the evils
of militarism, the wrongs involved
in the diversion of public moneys
III the shape Of Congressional sub
sides, the tendencies toward cen
trulization of power and the sub
stitution of imperialistic ideas for
the plain and simple theories of
Democratic government.
Upon all these issues the Dem
ocratic party is right, and sooner

Prayer Hats a Mob.

Two miners, IL negro anda white
man, quarrcled at Richmond, Mo-,
the other day and the negro shot
the white man. The negro was
captured by II mob and led to II
tree to be hung. When he saw
his doom he asked some one to
pray for him. This prayer was
volunteered, while those who stood
near waited in silence and removed
their hats:
"Oh, God, have mercy on the
soul of this poor, doomed man,
and, Oh, God, remember and have
pity ON the soul of the man he
murdered"
The rope was then drawn taut
and the negro strangled. The
quarrel originated over n discus
sion of the quarantine against the
negroes of Richmond on account
of the smallpox,

The MESSAGE hopes that Rhodes
Clay's bill requiring all equity
cases and those not triable by jury
to be docketed first by the circuit
clerks, will become law. 1t has
passed the Senate and should go
thru the House at once.
Under this law the petit jury
would not be summoned till it is
needed, the jury trials not to be
taken up till last. Under the pres
cnt regime the jury must report at
the opening of court and remain
during the term, when perhaps,
on an average, II third of the time
there is nothing for them to do.
1t is II needless expense to the
counties. Now that the remedy is
at hand let's have it ut once.

Compulsory Education.

Jefferson City, March 5.-The
House today passed the revised
Simmons bill for compulsory cdu-
cation. The title of the measure is :
An act to enforce the cousti.
tutional right of every child in the
State to an education, TO provide
for truant or parent schools and
attendance officers in cities OF
10000 population or more, and to
prohibit the employment of child
rem during school hours
This is the measure offered as Il
substitute by Representative Sim
mons for House bill 2lO, which was
earnestly opposed 10y the parish
school managers turnout the State
because it placed those schools I'M
der the jurisdiction of the public
school boards.
The present measure has the APP
proval of Superintendent of Edu-
cation Darlington. According to
Henning w. PrentisS, chairman of
the Compulsory Education Com
mittec of the Missouri State Teach
ers' Association, who has been in
Jefferson City for some time push
ing the measure, it has" the official
Endorsement of nearly POO labor
unions of st. Louis, besides many
of the local unions of Kansas City,
st. Joseph, Springfield, Sedalia,
Nevada, Columbia and other cities
in Missouri. 1t has been officially
indorscd by the boards of cduca-
ton of st. Louis, Kansas City and

covered last year in one OF the ancient
burying grounds of the prehistoric race
of Peru, near Lima. The urn weighs
about 100 grains. The metal of which
it is composed is similar to the "elec-
trum" mentioned by Pliny, OF the
