The announcement was made to the
congregation attending the Christian
Science services yesterday that begin
ming with next Sunday, the morning
service Of the First Church of Christ.
Scientist, would be held IN the Garrick
Theatre. II was also stated that this
change was necessary because no other
suitable hall or church could be found
to meet the demand for a larger audi
torium.
When the permanent church site at
Park Place and Van Buren street was
purchased last November, it was ex-
pected that the congregation would be
able to worship at No. 917 Gilpin ave-
nue. until the new edifice was erected
and the building committee appointed
by the church was working to that end.
But the steadily increasing attendance
at the services has necess'tated that
the present change to the Garrick be
made. The Garrick was then secured
and the first service will be held there
Easter morning
The Wednesday evening testimonial
meetings win be continued at No 9l7
Gilpin avenue for the present. The
church was Incorporated two years ago
and has more than doubled its member
ship since then.

EDITORIAL OPINION
peath on the eaIIows.

From the Chicago Journal
Death on the gallows Is tho most igno-
minious fate which man can suffer. The
torrors OF the scaffold lie not so much in
death itself for death is the common lot
and most men meet It without nlnching
no matter in what form It comes. But
to die the death OF a felon-to have life
taken amid all the horrible associations OF
an execution--is what makes the chief
bitterness Of the condemned mans lot
Van Dine. Niedermier. and Marx must
die IN atonement Of their crimes. They
showed no mercy for others, and they can
expect little pity from the world. They
must die, leaving TO the world, as heri-
tage. names which viii live on in igno-
miny and dishonor. Fortunately for pos
terity. these three men have no wives and
children TO share the infamy Of their
names during the future years. The shad-
ows Of tho gallows. failing over inno-
cent little ones, IS the awfulest thing 10
contemplate in connection with capital
punishment. The carbern murderers will
have no postcrity to hide their heads In
shame. Tho mothers and brothers and
sisters. and other relatives however. must
bear the degradation.
Many young man, whose footsteps
are tending In the direction which Van
Dine. Niedermeier, and Marx trod. no
doubt viii pause before the spectacle or
such death.
Sometimes it is a glorious thing to die.
even by TIE rope. Nathan Hale's name
has come down 10 us honored in story
and verse. His last words before the
moose cut on his breath were: Il only re-
gret that have but one life 10 give for
my country" But to die the death OF a
murderer-to die the death which Is wait
ing for these three inhuman boys-is the
supreme punishment that can be inflicted
by the outraged law.
Let the lesson sink deeply into the
hearts OF the rising generation.

cnt there will be a lively time when the
Convention meets in ST. Louis The num-
Der OF candidates win be sufficiently en-
barrassing. but this Is the least OF the
difficulties that may be encountered.
Rhode Island. for instance. has eight dele
gates who have already been selected. SIX
Of them arc alleged TO be for Hearst and
two for somebody else. The majority
that is. the six-have adopted the unit
rule. That rule has plagued many a Dem
ocratic Convention. When State Convcn-
tion have imposed II It has been upheld,
but IN this case the State Convention did
nothing OF the kind, and II q majority Of
a delegation can thus bind the rest, II
IS easy 20 Imagine how the viii OF the
majority in a National Convention could
be defeated and minority candidate
chosen.
But this IS not the only difficulty that
will confront the Democratic Convention.
Large delegations will go there divided in
sentiment. They may be instructed to vote
as unit by n very narrow majority. and
the minority viii be in an ugly mood and
demand TO bo counted. II IS easy TO imag-
inc case where the vote OF n State may
seem to depend upon this. and yet II pre-
codents are followed the claim will be In
admissible.
Principles as well as men viii give
trouble. The committee on resolutions will
have no sinecure. The party has threshed
to death IT'S old platform. and. like tho
peers in "Iolanthe." has no principles IN
particular or its numerous candidates
there is not one who thinks or talks like
any Of the others. They sound the gamui
from straight-out socialism 70 hidebound
conservation. Each will, OF course. have
his adnerents IN the Convention and each
Will claim recognition on the Platform
Committee. II this IS granted there will
be Babel Of ideas as well as tongues

on Saturday the women representing
the special edition for the Wilmington
hospitals took the reins from our hands
and hade us so out and play being
careful not to get into any mischief.
Then thoy nlled the editorial page
with most interesting and vital mater
sal, and would doubtless have continued
20 this day had not 1t occurred to them
that page Of editorial for one day
was ample.
So they dropped the reins--or rather
their pens and this morning we come
faltorlngly and take them up. We
shall never have anything but praise
TO bestow upon women in the future,
or II we do It will be because we recog-
nize that we have unlimited space at
our command. while all the avenues for
for their counter assaults are held by
the enemy.
We shall not say that in capacity,
temperance. good judgment and en-
thusiasm women have grown In our
esteem, for that would show an i'm
proper conception to begin with, but
we do say that we have been deeply
impressed with the idea that should
these women establish and conduct a
regular newspaper, there are many
hands who now WELD the journalistic
pen in Wilmington that would be turn
ed to the plow or TO the handle of the
hod.
But what we started out TO say Is
this: The woman's Edition for the ben
eft OF the hospitals came out on time
Il is success. and sales win continu,
for some days until the edition is ex-
hausted. For much OF the matter IN
the extra sections is Of such peculiar
interest that It win keep fresh FOL
years.
And one thing more: Just as soon as
everything Is cleared up, all bills paid
and all moneys collected. a detailed
statement OF receipts and expenses will
be published In this paper so that all
may know what was done and how II
was done.

The correct time of the origin OF Palm
Sunday is unknown. 1t certainly could
not have been later than the tenth CEN
tury. though IT may have been as early
as he NTH. 1t has been so called and OBJ
served as the day of Christs entry into
Jerusalem, when the people cut down the
palm branches and strewed them in His
way.
A portion Of the palm branches conse-
Grated on Palm Sunday have always been
and stili are preserved to be burned for
holy ashes to lay on,the heads Of the peo-
pie on Ash Wednesday Of the following
year. Il
The Pax or Peace cake was distributed
I'm English churches on Palm Sunday inl
the long ago. The idea was that those who
had quarreled should break the cake TO-
gether, saying. Peace and goodwill
and thus make up AL differences in pre-
paration for the Easter Communion. In
one parish in Herefordshire there is sur
vival Of this ancient custom, the expense
Of which is betrayed by a rent charge on
a farm In the parish. At one time glass
OF ale was passed with the cakes.
Among the superstiuous crosses made Of
the blessed PAIN are supposed to protect
the Wedrer from lightning.
At Rome the palms are genuine palms.
not lockwood or olive branches, and from
the Pontihcate Of sixtus the little VII
lage Of San Reno near Genoa, has en-
joyed the prescriptive right of furnishing
all the palms used in St. Peters Church.
Perhaps in no other country Is the me-
dleval picturesqueness OF Palm Sunday
more faithfully preserved than in Spain.
All people take part in the ceremony, each
bearing real palm and olive branches.
little performance intended 10 represent
Christs entrance into Jerusalem Is a
prominent feature OF the celebration.
They leave the church by the side door,
make a tour around the building 70 the
main door, called the Door OF the Apostles
which is found closed. The priest knocks
three times, the door is flung wide, the
clergy enter. then the people bearing the
palms.
In servla the young girls gather togeth-
er upon hill on the eve OF Palm Sunday
and sing ballads Of the resurrection of
Lazarus. Before sunrise Sunday morning
they go to the well or fountain from which
they usually get water, dance in a ring
and sing In chorus songs Of the stag OF
his horHs disturbing the water while his
eyes make It pure and clear.
In London there is a pretty custom of
going into the country upon Palm. Sunday
and bringing home branches Of willow OF
sallow, with their gray, shining ve.vety
buds These they use as ornaments for
hat, bonnet OF breast, or carry branches
in their hands. This is probably in adapta-
ton Of the familiar May-day observance.
The Easter egg is very much thought OF
in Russia, and is an important part OF
their Easter celebration. On Easter morn
ing, just as soon as people appear on the
streets, the exchange of Easter eggs is
seen on every side. The donor says:
Christ is risen" and the recipient re-
plies. Christ Is risen, indeed"

WHERE DOES THE TRUTH LlEl

WHERE DOES The hOl LIE
The call for state convention OF
the Republican party Of Delaware opens
as follows:
"This committee having received
from the chairman Of the National
Committee OF the Republican party no
tice that a National Convention Of said
party win be held and a request that
the Republican Party of the State Of
Delaware send delegates thereto" etc.
Regarding this the state Sentinel,
edited by c. r. Layton, says
"This statement is not only false,
but deliberately used to create the i'm
preston that the boilers were officially
recognized, as well as the Union Re-
pubncans by the National Committee.
The truth Of the matter Is, that the
ofncial notice to Delaware came only
to the Union Republican State commit-
tee"
Now that Is positive and specific, and
according to the Sentinel. the con-
cluslon is inevitable that the Re
publican state Committee deliberate
ly. published lie. It remains for C.
n. Layton to substantiate his declara-
ton or confess that he Is given to
slander. and that he had as soon pub
lsh falsehood as the truth. We await
the PROCTOR even a particle Of evi-
dence to substantiate the crime.
