ODDITIES OF HOLY WEEK.

Some curious facts may be noted
in connection with holy week whose
observance dates as far back as the
Great Britain it is known as Gig Sun,
day" and Towering Sunday" The
latter term points to a custom analog-
Gus to our decoration day." while of
the former there is no satisfactory
explanation; but in certain localities
dish of figs or a fg-pie at dinner is
essential AS Towering Sunday, the
technical name of the feast was
'tpascha foridum" and on this day, in
1913, Florida was discovered and re
ceived it's name accordingly.
In the Catholic church palms were
blessed and distributed or Sunday.
But as they were not always to be pro-
cured, especially in poorer missions,
young willow shoots were substituted
in many places, but more frequently
twigs of yew 1t is curious fact
that pieces of blessed palm are eager
ly sought foS by non-Catholics in rural
England, especially by miners, who
look upon them as protection il
their perilous duties.
Wednesday just preceding Lent is
"spy Wednesday, SO called because
it was the day in which Judas made
his Infamous compact with the Sanhe-
drim, and the Jews were spying and
seeking to find our Lord and arrest
him. The Irish call it "dia aoine-a-
bhrath fasting day of the traitor
or spy. "Tenebrae" starts this day
and is again sung on Thursday and
Friday
Thursday is 'holy" Thursday the
term being frequently misapplied to
ascension day 1t is also maunday
Thursday, and on it the pope and
others, to whose office it pertains,
Kings and emperors we're once accus-
toned to do this same pious deed, but
their act of faith and piety has lately
taken more practical form, as for
instance large baskets of provisions,
called "maunds," are presented at
Whitehall in the name of the queen Of
England. This, it is said by some, is
the origin of the name. But "maunda-
tum'' Is the Latin for a command"
and more probably "maunday" is a
corruption of this word referring to
our Lords command to initiate his ex-
ample. 1t may further refer to an
other command, viz, to perpetuate
the celebration of the holy eucharist,
for on this day this mystery was in
stituted.
Good Friday, the penitential day of
the year par excellence, has in some
places lost much of it's solemn OBJ
servance. Where it is holiday it is
generally day of pleasure, on which
springtide excursions commence and
fairs and sports are held. Portuguese
sailors hang up an eff1gy, supposed to
represent Judas, and, while they fog
it, are served with grog by their cap

ough Invexiigation.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Secretary
Moody has begun a thorough investl-
cation to ascertain with nicely the
needs of our naval establishment, his
purpose being to collect the views of
officers Of all branches of the service
and draw from them his recommenda-
tons to be submitted to congress. He
has issued instructioSs to the naval
board on construction, headed by Rear
Admiral O'Neil, to look thoroughly
into not only the subject of new con-
structiOn, but also personnel, and make
him report on both subjects.
Mr.. Moody's general idea is to dis
cover with exactness what ships he
may consider "on hand" which onas
are apt to go out of active service and
how these now building will affect the
equation. If it then appears that the
navy still is behind its ships in the
matter of personnel, officers and men
will be given precedence over war YES
sells in the secretary's recommenda-
tions to congress.
Moreover, it is understood to be the
plan Of Secretary Moody, after he has
been provided with the views of the
naval service, to have a conference
with the leading members of the SEN
ate and house naval committees and

Mission Losses puid.

BOSTON, Sept. 19.-The officers Of
the American board have announced
the receipt of $57,233 through the state
department at Washington. The amount
is 25 per cent of the award made to the
board by the commission now in ses-
sion in China for losses on mission
property in the Boxer outrage Of 1900.
This money is said to come very oppor-
tunely to reimburse the treasury for
sums already expended in rebuilding
in north China and also to meet other
urgent calls of the same sort. The
award for the personal losses of mis-
sionaries has not yet been made but
will soon be forwarded from Peking
to Washington.

MARSHFIELD, Ore, Sept. 19.--
Alonzo Tucker negro, who assaulted
Mrs. Dennis near Libby Wednesday,
has been lynched. A body of coal min
ers, heavily armed, marched into town

take him from the Jail just as the
miners entered, and rush was made
for the negro. He managed to give his
custodian the slip and jumped under
the wharf into the mud flats and elud-
ed both officers and mob for several
hours. The miners stationed armed
guards at every point Of egress from
the city. Every corner Of the town
was searched, and finally two boys To-
Gated the fugitive under store. The
boys fired at him with air guns and
drove him from his hiding place. AS
he emerged ball from rifle caught
him in the right leg.
Tucker ran into store and was fol-
lowed by the miners, who started to
hang him in the store, but decided to
take him to the scene of the crime. A
start was made but the negro died
from his wounds, and the mob hanged
the body to beam on the South
Marshfield bridge. Not a masked man
was in the crowd, and everything was
done in broad daylight.

COLON, Colombia, Sept 19.-United
States blueiackets. with small quick
firing gun from the cruiser Cincinnati,
continue to accompany each passenger
and freight train across the isthmus,
notwithstanding the protests against
such measures which the Colombian
government has lodged with Oscar
Malmros, United States consul here.
There is no definite news Of the
whereabouts of the insurgent general
Herrera nor signs that insurgent forces
are approaching the isthmus.
General Ortiz is in command Of the
government troops which reached here
on the steamer La Plata.
The Panama officials declare that the
Colombian government had no inten-
ton Of fighting Nicaragua and that
Colombia, as soon as her present rev.
olution ended, desired a period of rest
from warfare.
The government has declared that
public order has been restored in the
departments of Boyaca and Cundina-
marca. This declaration is believed to
indicate the intention Of the govern
ment soon to call meeting of con.
gress to discuss the canal question.
When the steamer La Plata, which
brought 1000 government troops to
Colon, left Savanilla. there were nearly
1000 government soldiers at that port
awaiting transportation to Panama.
The arrival of re-enforcements on
the isthmus and the presence Of other
troops at Savanilla are believed to
have reduced General Herreras
chances of capturing Panama or Colon
to Il minimum.

from Bucharest, Roumana, dated Sun

yer among the Jews of Roumania still
continues and that within the last
three months 1900 Jews have left the
country.
The correspondent says that party
Of $50 have just left for Canada and
the United States. and small parties
Of Jews leave the larger towns of the
country almost daily. Although the
reason given By the emigrants for
leaving is their inability to obtain
work, the Jews steadily refuse to take
up farm labor. Proof of this is found
In the fact that within the last three
years Roumania has paid for outside
Bulgarian labor something like $1,000
600, which might have gone to the
Jews if they would only turn their
hands to the light labor of harvesting.
Bulgarian laborers, the correspond

Ccllently fed while working on Rou-

Serious Trouble Along the Hudson
Valley Railway.
SANDY HILL, N. Y, Sept. 19.-
There was trouble here yesterday
when the first car which the Hudson
Valley railway has attempted to move
this week through this town reached
here. The car was bound south and
was followed by repair car to be
used in replacing on the tracks the car
which was dcraiied Wednesday at Fort
Edward. The car was filed with dep
uties and soldiers carrying'guns.
When the courthouse at this place
was reached, crowd Of people who
are in sympathy with the strikers had
completely filled the street and spread
itself over the tracks. District Attor-
ney Pratt was at once summoned from
the courthouse and, taking a position
on the tracks, read the riot act. The
crowd jeered him.
Employees of the railway company
then moved the car forward to a posi-
tion in front of the Waite hosehouse,
where the hose cart had been placed
on the track to interrupt the passage of
the car. Those on the car. however,
sent it right along and knocked the
hose cart into kindling wood.
Earlier in the day Sheriff Austin of
Washington county, fearing his force
of deputies would be unable to cope
with the strike situation, called on
Captain Otis Dennis of Company l of
the national guard Of Whitehall for
assistance. The company arrived in
Sandy Hill eighty strong and are now
in camp near the power house of the
at this place. The militia Of
ficers were at first unable to move
their camp equipment from the Sandy
Hill station, as no teamster in the
town could be induced to carry it to
the power house. Finally local cart
man was impressed into service to do
the work.
State Labor Commissioner John Nc
Mackin and State Mediator Bernard
Stark have arrived in Glens Falls with
a view to bring about compromise
and ending of the strike. This plan
was tried week ago by Mr.. Stark,
but his effort failed.
