A DREARY EASTER.
It DrizzIed All Day in New York, and
the Usual Throng Did Not Appear.

New York. April SIT was SombeT
Easter-rain-co coated and much umbrel-
laed It did not rain enough to drive the
people straight from church to their
homes, nor did it shine enough to draw
them in the old-time throngs to Fifth
avenue. Altogether it was the dreariest
Easter in 20 years in New York city
In Fifth avenue, between 1890 and
z. m, the crowd was not great Many
e. winter Sunday sees more people abroad
there At no time during the day was
progress difficult. Society was absent
1t had gone out of town or had decided
% wait for a more propitious day.
AZ all the churches in the city elabor-
ate Eazter services were held, and the
weather seemed to have no appreciate
effect on the attendance. At old Trinity
church more than 900 people were un-
able to find even standing room within
The doors. The music in the church was
Of the finest character.
Many graves in both Trinity and st.
Pauls Eraveyards were decorated with
flowers in honor of the day In St. PauI's
the huge tomb of the Rhinelanders was
~air.y buried beneath hydrangeas, hya-
cinths and Easter lilies, and in Trinity
graveyard there was the same lavish dis
play of flowers
Archbishop Corrigan ofIiciated at ST.
Patricks cathedral,a and the great church
was more than filed with the crowds
that came, and at that only those who
were provided with tickets could gain
admittance.
The magnificent edifice of the Second
Church Of Christ. Scientist. at Sixty
eighth street and Central Park West was
dedicated, just two years after the cor
nerstone was laid There was a very
large attendance, for the great part
made up Of people from other cities.
There was no attempt at decoration with
the exception Of a few plants and flow
ers around the readers dais and desk

son, a seamstress living at PIG Vine
street. was run over by a south-bOund
Vine street electric car at $3.50 O'Clock

Little Louis was playing with some

street after dark and according to those
who witnessed the accideuN, ran in front
of the moving car in trying to q oSs
the street.
w. H. Wilson and NIotorman r. M
Helmns, and was going at full speed
when the child was run down. Vine
street, at TWenty-frst, is without street
lights entirely, and as the travel is not
heavy at any time, cars do not stop at
many OF the crossings So that when
sourh-bound car No 62S passed Twenty
first street last night it was going at
full speed.
The body Of the child was dragged 100
feet before tlle car could be stopped.
When it did stop it was directly in front
OF the AtchIson home
Upon examination, the head of the
child was found just in front OF the hind
truck and the body under the front
trucks
The right shoulder and upper part of
the body was mangled beyond recogni-
ton and one hand almost torn off
Mrs AtchlSOn, whose first husband
was a Mr.. Breden, said she had started
with Louis and one Of the younger chill
dren for a walk. She had forgotten her
gloves and sent Louis back home for
them AS he did not return she was on

INITIATION VERY ROUGH.
Students Joining Secret Societies at
Harvard Seriously Injured

New York, April "a special to the
Herald from Boston, Mass. says:
The cruelty practiced in the initiation
Of members into the exclusive secret
societies Of Harvard, made public
through the serious injuries sustained
by E,nos S. T. Richardson, OF New York,
and A. w. Mason of Boston, both Of
whom have been under the doctors care
for several weeks, is giving the members
of the faculty considerable concern.
Several professors said that no official
action would be taken by the college
authorities until the return Of Presi-
dent Eliot, who is expected home soon-
Richard Derby. president Of Delta
Kappa Epsilon society, by which the al
legged hazing was done, admits that in
the cases Of Richardson and Mason it
was severe, and that since they went
through the initiation the system has
been changed.
d. Walcott, who is acting president of
Harvard in the absence of DR.. Eliot,
were being practiced until he received
a very vigorous letter in regard to the
matter.
1.-THE question is, how to stop them
he said. About thirty years ago Har
ward assumed the position that she
could not be responsible for the way in
which the students spent their time.
The only way is for the students who
are asked to join the society to refuse
to submit to actions which are degTad-
ing not only to themselves but to the
college. The faculty has the power to
exercise discipline. and if it SO chose 1t
might rule that public limitations should
be discontinued"
DR.. Bartlett. the regent of the uni
versity. has charge of all the secret So
cieties at Harvard.
Il do not care. to say anything about
the recent injuries he said TT IS true
that at times have to get after some
Of rhe societies for rough treatment Of
their nOvitiates, but the men have al
ways made any changes which I have
suggested, and so far I am perfectly
satisfied with the actions of the men,

had happened to Mason or Richardson.

THE oRUELTx OF a JOKE.
How q Burning Shame Was Perpe-
trated Upon Sandy.

Sandy is the laconic title of a rud-
dy-haired youth who carries messages
and does errands between the Santa F'e
freight and passenger depots- Like most
boys Sandy has a certain pie-eating pro-
nensity which occasionally he is able to
satisfy at the depot lunch counter. a
Jew days ago the lad had an experience
that is likely to remain in his memory
for some time.
He had had a busy forenoon. Only a
chOrt time was left before No. I, the
big dinner train would arrive Sandy
crossed over from the freight house, his
mind intent upon replenishing his fea-
lures with a delicious bit Of pastry. He
sat down at the counter and carelessly
ordered his favorite kind Of pie The
waitress who took his order tarried lorg
enough before serving it to him to place
a quantity CT cayenne pepper in that
part upon which Mr.. Sandy would be
most likely to begin operations This
was all unknown to the lad. but some
now there were others who had an ink
ling as to what was to happen and ac-
cordingly watched proceedings with
much interest.
Attacking the piece so that most of the
cayenne pepper was contained in the first
installment, Sandy masticated it well be-
fore beginning to realize that a cruel
joke had been sprung. As the rest Of the
pie was quickly gulped down with evil
dent discomfort to the victim, depot and
lunch room attaches tourists and others
went or into fits Of laughter that lasted
several minutes until the west bound
train rolled into the depot and called
them to duty
Then the victimized Sandy. withoutS
word of complaint, disappeared for near
~ all the afternoon, making frequent
visits to the tanks Of ice water, in ii
vain attempt to extinguish an IN
ouenchable flame.
Since then he has recovered from the
effect Of the pepper, wiser but no sadder
than before the joke was perpetrated.

Now, as I have stated in previous let

locating the division at Clyde, while the

when the road IS extended TO Denver then
there will be about seven daily freight

DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTION.

The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton held their regular monthly meet
ing on Feb. %, at the home Of Mrs. A. II.
Wethey on West Granite street. One of
the main objects of this society is to per-
men and women who achieved American
independence, by the protection of his
torical spots and the erection of monu-
ments: to carry out the injunction of
Washington in his farewell address and
to foster true patriotism and love of
country. The subjects of the papers, talks
and discussions generally pertain to the
early history of our country and her he
roes, patriots, and statesmen. Friday be-
ing the twenty-second of the month
Washington was chosen as an appro-
pirate subject for the day. Some of the
ladies had collected number of pic
lures, copied from celebrated portraits
taken at different periods of his life,
these were passed around for inspection,
and very much enjoyed. Then followed a
lively discussion of his life as hero, pa
t,iot soldier and private citizen. Some
spoke of him as having faults and fail
ings like other people, others We're loath
to think of him except as hero. believ-
ing even the 'ihatchet story Each lady
present contributed some incident or an
ecdote that made an old subject seem in
teresting and new. The hostess served
delicious refreshments in rare old china
dishes that had been used in Washing
tons time and had been in the family
considerably over hundred years. Those
present We're: Mrs. Walter Tallant. Mrs.
