Good Friday.

Today is Good Friday and services
we're held in the Catholic, Episcopal and
Lutheran churches according to the an
nouncements published yesterday. In
the Catholic churches it is the only day
in the year in which the conservation OF
the host does not form the essential part
of the celebration Of mass. The special
service for the day, known as the mass
of the ~presanctifisd, makes provision for
the communion of the celebrant from the
host consecrated on Holy Thursday and
reserved on the altar of repose. The
rites are sad and somber, the celebranI
aud his assistants are clothed in black
vestments and the sanctuary is without
lights or incense.

To Contest Removal.

For some time it has been reported
that Policeman Samuel TIGER will con-
test the validity of the action of the
Board of Police Commissioners who, about
six months ago, declared his position
as we'll as that of James Howson vacant
after May l, 1905. Officer TIGER has
consulted Mr.. l.. Ii. Machen as to the
ACCESSIBILITY OF bringing the matter be-
fore the Corporation Court. 1t is alleged
that the proceedings were Irregular, aud
also that Messrs. Fisher and Graham
were not residents Of the Third and
Fourth wards which they represent, at
the time the Police Board took action,
by reason of the change in the ward
lines, s.

Picture In Disguise.

Many and strange have been the vi
cissitudes OF some OF the worlds great
est pictures, and a fine painting which
now graces Lord L.eigh's residence in
Warwickshire has nm interesting his
tory. This remarkable picture, which
for some years consisted OF a painting
Of flowers, vas pronounced by an art
dealer to be merely a mask for some
other picture, and on his receiving per
mission he gradually cleaned of the
flowers, discovering underneath a very
fine portrait Of Charles l., by Vandyke
1t Is supposed that the portrait was
thus disguised In order To save 1t from
destruction by the Roundheads at the
time of the commonwealth.

In Fish Market.

The mellow sunshine and southeast
winds of spring time have caused no
material improvement in fishing cor,
ditious. Shad are becoming scarcer ana
higher daily. They sold for 500 a hund-
red today, with a rising tendency. There
has been a slight increase in the receipts
of herring. They were quoted at SAB
per thousand for small lots. Rock and
perch have practically disappeared from
the market. 4 bnnch of the latter, con-
tanning eight gOod.size specimens, were
put up at auction at Pishtown yesterday,
and brought $l.l5. There were no rocl
or perch in market this morning.

Damage to Fruit,

Capt. Henry Kim, the largest truck
raiser in the Norfolk section, estimates
that the losses Of farmers in Tidesater
Virginia will reach the vast sum OF
81, 600, 00C. He has individual losses
of several thousand dollars. Mr. kim,
in speaking of the matter yesterday,
said that until the frost Of a few nights
ago there had been none for four weeks,
and crops. particularly Strawberries, had
had favorable conditions; the blossoms
came early and the berries followed aud
were in fine condition. The frost that
came Monday night did great damage,
but The one of Tuesday night, MIR. Kim
thought, did even more, as there was no
wind and the frost covered every sec
ton. Strawberries we're ruined, pota-
toes cut down and beans destroyed.
The farmers expected to make c%onsidera-
BILE money on beans, but did not have
much hope for the potato.

The simple Lie Expen.,re.

And, really, the simple life Is fright
fully expensive. At d recent entertain
ment In this city a great luxury In the
serving OF the second supper was the
introduction OF country sausage and
buckwheat cakes with maple strip. But
the sausage came from the farm or the
host and represented a small fortune,
as the pigs from which the piece de re-
sistance was made were blooded ami
mails with pedigrees. The buckwheat
was grown in special fields which cost
ever 80 much q foot, and the maple sir
up was taken from trees In the most
expensive Adirondack preserve. And
thus can thousands Of dollars be spent
on the simple life, while t%ruffies, pate,
terrapin and such other rarebits OF a
former generation are left for the ia
bles Of the middle classes with moder-
ate means.-Town and Country.

War on Cocaine in India.

The drug cocaine has laid such a
hold on the natives of India that the
authorities are making strenuous eff
forts to prevent its unrestricted dis
tribution.
Within the last few years a ship
ment of cocaine worth a lac of rupees
S33.330) was shipped to Calcutta, and
the excise department interviewed, with
the result that the cocaine had to De
sent back to England.
The results of taking cocaine regu-
larly for any length of time are dread
full. The immediate effect is a de-
lightful feeling of languor, the ulti-
mate effect is the ruin of mind and
body.
In Europe and America the drug is
usually taken by injection, but the In
dian found another method. Pan SUI

feeling had changed to an affection OF q
different kind, and he hoped and longed
for the day when he would dare to ask
her to become his wife,
His attentions had become more mark
| ed. and Helene was glad of the oppor-
tunity to escape them. The excuse of
the journey to Richmond gave her time
to go to the federal camp, and return if
her mysterious guide mad protector could
so arrange. She, therefore, wrote note
as follows:
Il go with the colonel to Columbia the
day after tomorrow, and shall be free to
| meet you on Monday or Tuesday next at
any place you may appoint Kindly send
me your instructions, and 1 will implicit
ly follow them.'
She inclosed this little noae in an en-
velope, and sent Sue with it to the camp
to give it to Henri. The next morning
she received the following reply, brought
to her by Henri:
IF you can arrange to be at Ashland
on Tuesday evening next. the 9th in
slant, about seven o'clock, l will meet
you at Crockett's tavern, and l will then
comply with your wish. Will you also
do me the favor to ask the colonel fo1
a weeks leave for the bearer of this
note?"
Helene had no difficulty in obtaining
the requisite permit for Henri. She did
not even mention who the soldier was.
Adams was only too happy that she
should ask him for anything, no matter
what, and he granted her request with
out question Of why or who.
When the young Frenchman came ia
Quayle's rooms and brought him Helene's
reply, agreeing to meet him at the ap
pointed place, Quayle for the first time
felt a SILVER creep through him, and o
repugnance which he had not known be
fore chilled his blood.
BAH" he said to himself ut is mo-
nice job, but it has to be done. Be.

Quayle's plan was hendishly simple
After meeting Helene on Tuesday even
ing at Ashland, village about eighteen
miles to the northwest of RicbYond, he
would take her southeast, outside of the
pickets of both armies, to a ruined hui

gum. 1t consisted of a leaf smeared
with lime and utbed with areca nut
cloves and various aromatics. Then
the native added cocaine and found
pan supari' an excellent means OF
taking the drug.
The abuse of cocaine by the natives
grew to such an alarming extent that
two years ago a measure was intro
duced prohibiting the sale except by
licensed persons. Native offenders
against the law have been prosecuted
in large numbers.

the hunters were not killed, but your
Oklahoma marksman usually hits that
at which he aims, and there were no
human casualties in this case.
After all the wolves that were
caught in the corral were slaughtered
their pelts were taken by enterprising
dealers and the carcasses were left
strewn upon the plain to become food
for the thousands of their fellow crea-
lures whom the hunters had not
harmed.
BY the time the slaughtering was
completed it was late in the afternoon
and everybody was hungry for the
feast that awaited.

The preserve includes 100000 acres
but only a part of it could be covered
by the hunters. The scene of the
hunt was a fat grassy prairie, the
only trees being along streams that
run through it.
The "circle of death was over 1C
miles in circumference and nearly 4
miles in diameter. The hunters were
close enough together to guard the
spaces between them and to use their
shot guns effectively if any of the
hunted creatures should attempt to es-
cape.
At the word from the general the
division commanders passed the com
mand to move along the long line and
within five minutes the circle began to
close in on its prey. simultaneously
the dogs were unleashed AMI the work
Of death began.
The spectacle of the great round
line contracting slowly while the
wolves, seen on every hand, dashed
frantically about the encircled plain
looking vainly for place of exit was
sufficiently thrilling to satisfy any one
with the love of sport in his heart.
The order Of the general Of the hunt
was that no shots should be fired un-
til the roundup unless wolves should
try to escape through the Gordon

perate dash, but few got away Under

than 75 yards apart the slaughter be-

Chattanooga, o. T., recently, says a

Dispatch. The drive was not only the
greatest, but also the most successful.
Nearly so wolves were killed, and
countless rabbits and other small
game. There were many accidents,
but none of them was serious. Fully
200 hunters participated, with nearly
$50 dogs. The hunters and the dogs
came from the country towns in ra-
dius of so miles.
In addition, about 500 spectators.
chiefly women, witnessed the round
up. An old-time basket dinner fol-
lowed, and while the consumption of
food was enormous because of the ex-
traordinary appetites the hunt had
aroused, there was plenty for all, and
several baskets were filed from what
was left.
No other wolf hunt was ever so
thoroughly advertised, and by noon,
