OF course. there are all sorts OF cheerful

with Easter apart from church services and

give to others something of the Joy that fills
the world at the coming of the spring. This

There are certain tIme-honored features
closely connected with Faster as holly
with Christmas and pop-crackers with Fourth
of July. We all say Eggs" with one breath
when we are asked what is the emblem OF
Easter. Some else says Rabbits" per-
haps, and some one else suggests ''Daffods''

to combine or arrange all these In a way to
bring about a novelty.

Armenian villages. Subsequently the
insurgents surrounded and attacked
Owlianoraschau. The Inhabitants of
the town repulsed the besiegers, kill

other troops stationed at the village of
Khouloundian also repulsed an attack
of the insurgents in that place, inf1ict-
ing enormous losses on them and cap
turing $40 prisoners, a quantity of
arms and black standard. The in
surgent chiefs and mullahs were exc
cuted. Proclamations were found ex-
horting the Sunnites and Shiites to
join in war against the common
enemy.
The agitation is spreading. A num-
ber of Armenian villages, containing
about 1000 inhabitants, have been sur
rounded and skirmishes between Tar
tars and Kurds and the Russian troops
are frequent. The villages OF Ouschi

Washington, June 23-No assist
ance is expected in Washington from
the London government in whatever
efforts the president may initiate to
bring about an immediate armistice or
to prevent a clash before the conven.
ing of the Washington conference.
While the London government as an
ally OF Jalan has shown itself in
hearty sympathy with the presidents
policy to bring the belligerents to-
gether it feels that it cannot under
take to suggest an armistice at this
time. The British officials believe, ac.
cording to advices reaching this gov
ernment, that Japan would be sacrific-
ing a great deal to consent to an ar
mistice at this time and that after a
great defeat on land the Russians will
be more ready to discuss peace. This,
however, is but an honest difference of
opinion between Washington and Lon
don. The belief here is that an
other defeat may inspire the Russians
to continue the war Indefinitely It is
understood, however, that London will
do nothing to hamper in any way the
presidents efforts, having expressed
its sympathy with his general pur-
pose,

NOT DUE TO HIGH SPEED.
Railroad Official Discusses the Lake
Shore Wreck.

otIOEC' VVICCN.
New York, June 23.-President New
man of the New York Central does not
regard as unsafe the rate of speed
which must be maintained by the
eighteen-hour Twentieth Century Linn
tied and he does not believe that the
accident at Mentor, O., was due in any
sense to that cause. He said, how
ever, that the future of the new train
would rest entirely upon the investiga-
tion of the disaster which is now in
progress
"lf we find the eighteen-hour train
unsafe" said he, I'VE will take it off
in ten seconds. We do not think that
speed unsafe now If or any of the
officials of the road had thought the
train unsafe it never would have been
put on. believe, however, with all
railway men, that all trains go a lit
tie too fast. felt from the beginning
that a slower train would be more
comfortable for the passengers. They
appeared to notice no difference in the
speed between the tWenty-hour and
eighteen hour trains, however, and
seemed to be very well satisfied. Any
change noW will depend entirely upon
the investigation which is being made
by Vice President Brown of the Lake
Shore road"
