20 GEEAS'

Some one has just asked, What Is the origin Of
hot cross buns? Why do people eat them on Good
Friday?' The simplest explanation is that when
the religious Observances of Holy Week were far
more strict than now, only a certain amount OF
bread was allowed to be eaten on Holy Friday and
that was marked off in the dough TO show its
length and breadth. But the bakers continued to
cross their dough long after the occasion for meas
uring bread had passed. Whether this was due to
the force Of habit or from religious sentiment Is a
matter Of conjecture.
II is probable that the sign the cross originated
with the idea Of consecratng bread TO be eaten on
so holy day as Good Friday; and the small loaves
of bread which in early times sold to pilgrims
in the churches said be responsible for the
small bread, buns, of to-day.
To many the crossing of the dough is In remem-
brance Of the miracle Of the feeding Of the multi
tude, Christ signed the upon the bread
before He broke It. In one part Of Spain the cross
is symbolic Of charity bread All Ioaves intended
for distribution among the poor marked

The West End Women's Republican Association

missioner of Immigration, who gave an interesting
sketch Of the history OF emigration as il has af-

Coming down 10 the present period, Mr.. Nc
Sweeney said that the great danger the American
national character lies not in the emigration from
Southern Europe, but in that from China and
Japan. OF these two he regards the Japanese as
the more Objectionable, saying 1T is a fact not
generally understood that the Japanese in some
respects more real and serious danger than the
Chinese. for they have neither morals nor re-
hgion, and have had only fifty years OF civilization
The Chinese, on the contrary. have a lofty code OF
morals and five thousand years Of high civilization

quested should not be placed in the bank Why
this request was made cannot be learned.
City Chamberlain Gould has asked his as
sistants to make returns regularly every month
on all accounts. but in the case of the office
of The City Record" could not do so. owing
to the failure to take up the due bills.
James B. Reynolds, the Mayors secretary,
said the Mayor would not like To talk about the
case until the report had been made public
The Supervisor of The City Record" Philip
Cowen, denied that the investigation was begun
at the request of the Mayor. but said it was due

PARSONS TELLS OF CHANGES
THE NEARNESS TO HOUSE LINE IN
PARK-AVE. TO ALLOW FOR
BRANCH.

William Barclay Parsons chief engineer of the
Rapid Transit Commission. yesterday explained
the reason for dividing the tunnel in Park-ave.
and causing the east division TO run close to the
house line. 1t is to permit of the construction
of a branch of the underground road to go
through Forty seCond-st a short distance and
then north through of the avenues Such
branch doubtless will be constructed some day
although the route for it is not laid out yet
look ahead taken in making the plans for
the Park-ave tunnels. to provide room for
a double track extension of the underground
road and avoid grade crossings at Forty-sec-
ond-st
For distance of several blocks south Of For
ty-secOnd-st. the east division Of the tunnel in
Park-ave. is separated from the west division
far enough to permit of the construction of a
two-track railroad tunnel between them That
tunnel when constructed will descend gradually
from the junction in Park-ave., and dip under
the east division of the subway t Forty second
st An underground branch through Licking
ton-ave., therefore, could pass under the east
division of the present subway at Forty-second-
ST. avoiding grade crossings and joining the
main line by switches in Park-ave.
On account of the curve into FOrty-second-st.,
the west division Of the subway could not be
turned from the middle Of Park-ave.. and 1t was
necessary in providing for a future extension to
turn the east division under the sidewalk for
considerable distance The tunnel there goes
within about eight feet Of the house line, much
nearer. in fact. than the owners of houses in
that part of ParS-avc. expected. Some of the
owners have declared that there radical
change from the plans for the underground road
originally approved.
Mr.. Parsons said yesterday that there had
been radical changes. The plans first ap-
proved. he said. general plans. and were
subject to such alterations as the character OF

THE FIRST OF THE DENOMINATION TO
INTRODUCE A VESTED CHOIR

The Washington Heights Baptist Church. Con-

will introduce a vested choir at the morning
and evening services on Easter and at the Sun
day evening service thereafter. The choir is in
charge Of ". Andrew HemDhill. conductor and
tenor Of the church quartet and will consist of
sixty voices
The Rev. BOardman 3. BOsworth pastor Of
the church says of the vested choir: Il be-
lieve this is an innovation in the Baptist
churches, though / trust not unpIeasing or
improper one. The Metropolitan Temple has
the honor Of introducing the first vested choir
in the Methodist denomination in America and
its example has been followed by several Meth
odist churches in this city. So far as | am
aware. no Baptist church in the world has such
a choir
He adds that it is means Of securing church
attendance from children and those interested in
children.
The Rev Dr. r. NJ. Luther will preach on
Easter morning, and in the evening the ordi-
nances Of the Lords supper and Baptism will
be observed.
