As with all the other great festivals
OF the church. the date when Easter
should be celebrated has been the
cause Of bitter controversy. The
Eastern church insisted that It should
be celebrated on the day Of the month

The matter finally came up for nd.

Eastern church refused to change its
custom and thus gave rise TO what is

SMCKElESS POWDER.
Burns Out the Lining of the Big
Guns in Comparatively
Short Time.

A serious trouble that contrOnts the
modern artillerists is the tendency Of
the smOkeleBs powders that are now ex-
clusiyely used to burn out the interior
lining of the guns, particularly near tho
powder chamber. The powder itself Is
the cause of more or less anxiety be-
cause Of its chemical instability. The
erosion or burning out Of the interior
tube of the gun which Is in immediate
contact with the powder gases. Is due
to the high pressure and intense heat Of
the gases

NO TROUSERS, STOPS TRAIN
Man Robbed in a Sleeper Holds Ur
Traffic at Denver Until
Clothed

Denver. = e. D. Hall, of Omaha, de-
layed passenger traffic half an hour the
other morning because his only pair of
trousers had been stolen from him in a
Pullman sleeper. He was in through
car and when an attempt was made to
get him out so the car could proceed
west he refused to bulge. The railroad
officials in despair finally rushed up
town and secured him makeshift pair
six inches too long.
The whole car full of passengers took
part in the search for Halls trousers
when the car was approaching Denver
in the morning.
The victim of the sneak thief yelled
directions to the porters and conduc-
tor from his closely curtained berth.
Hall admitted that he hung his trou-
sers on the floor, the same as he does
when home to keep the creases straight,
but declared in future he would sleep
with them under his pillow
