offerings.
The money collected in Hollywood
is being deposited to the credit of the
relief fund in local banks, Though the
gifts so far have been most generous,
much more money is expected soon.
Provisions are also being rushed to
relief headquarters.

TRIPLETS' BABY
CLOTHES GIVEN
BY THEIR MOTHER

Among the pathetic sights seen at
Native Sons headquarters yesterday
when people came bringing clothing
that had been treasured for years, was
the Offering of baby clothes by Mrs. w.
w. Wilson of 1426 East Twenty-Ninth
street.
The dainty little articles belonged
to her triplets born in Chicago, all of
whom died, and Mrs. Wilson said with
sobs that she had always expected
to keep these clothes because of the
tender memories clinging about each
little garment, but the need in the
stricken northern city was too great
to be unheeded
The woman is very poor and during
her recent Illness, when she lost one

That these must be entertained is
certain and there will be considerable

given up, as thousands of dollars
have already been spent in preparing
for the festival, it is due the people
who want to come that they be given
the program laid down in the adver-
tising matter that was sent out ask
ing them to come. The resolutions
passed by the Fiesta committee are
along the same line that those passed
by the chamber of commerce include,
in fact all of the commercial bodies of
the city are in favor of the Fiesta.

Fiesta or no Fiesta was the question
discussed by the executive committee
of Fiesta yesterday morning, and reso-
lutions adopted were unanimous in de-
claring for the holding of the enter

thoroughly gone over by the commit

over and the fact that the entertain

laid down by the Fiesta committee
had been so thoroughly advertised that

performance and when they finish the
matinee only few minutes remain be-
fore it is time for the evening curtain,
which lasts until II o'clock.
In Little Christopher" there are
twenty-four musical numbers. In each
of these the chorus girls must do a
dance composed of from 700 to 300 steps.
The steps taken by the girls are about
two feet in length, which means that
each girl travels from a quarter to
three-eights of mile during each mu-
sical number.
The total distance travelled in the
entire program for one performance, is
thus a little over five miles. In the
rehearsal, which takes place in the
morning, the numbers are tried over
and over again. until the steps are
done to the satisfaction of the stage
manager.
The nervous strain undergone by the
girls is tremendous and is partially re-
sponsible for the early age at which
chorus girls die. The average life of
chorus girls, according to an authority,
is 30 years.
In What Do You Think of Your
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-19

Moses and the prophets their risen
Lord showed how his own sufferings,
death and resurrection We're foretold
as the distinguishing. features of the
Messiah. To them the resurrection
demonstrated that God hath made
him both Lord and Christ
Was Lord of Evil e, g.
"He was also lord of evil. He could
forgive sin. Think what it must have
been to the woman that had been a
sinner, who annointed his feet in
Simon's house when told of her Lords S
resurrection. On that momentous day
he had said thy sins are forgiven;
thy faith hath saved thee In the
strength OF that faith she had gone
forth to sin no more. No doubt others
would doubt her new life and when
scorned she might doubt whether Jesus
could really deliver her from the ter
rible past, but on the coming of the
word He is risen,' the conviction that
he has been lord over death would re-
assure her that he was no less lord of
evil and that her redemption was true.
So Peter, sad and conscience-stricken
would rejofce and out of that exper-
ience write of his Lord, who, accord

Papa," which is sung by Miss Kendall
and Mr.. Pitkin the chorus dances more
than 1000 feet.
The song of the tramp, Its Great to
Be Crazy" is just 700 feet long, as
measured by the standard of the chorus
and the other numbers are all as long
or longer.
The ideal of the chorus girl, as held
by the layman, is very wrong. The
ordinary man, when asked about his
impressions of chorus girl would
probably describe a woman of easy
virtue spending her days in mad auto
mobile rides and her nights in the con-
sumption of champagne. The real pic
ture is very different.
Most of the girls are paid very
small salary and with it help to sup
port their families, for most of them
are married. Many of them own homes,
paid for out of their earnings on the
stage. The rigorous demands made
upon their time at the theater where
they are employed would give them lit
tie time for dissipation were they in
clined that way, which most of them
are not.

"SIGNIFICANCE OF
JESUS RESURRECTION"
REV. WILLIAM H. DAY breaches
INSTRUCTIVE SERMON
"eeoause the Lord Had Risen,
Apostles Were Certain That He
Was the Lord of All Things" Says
Minister

Yesterday morning at the First Con-
gregational church, Rev. w. Horace
Day. the pastor, preached on THE
Significance of Jesus Resurrection
He said in part:
ITO the Apostles the resurrection
was the crowning attestation that God
had committed to Jesus the Lordship
of all things. Because he had risen
they were certain that he was Lord
of Death. The gospel of immortality
was the first one they felt and
reached. Peter. at Pentecost and Paul
at skeptical Athens announced the
same message. Prin Fairbairn has in
terpreted our need OF the resurrection
with deep insight. There was set under
the weak but wishful feet of hope not
alone an instinct of the human heart,
or inference of human reason, but the
strong rock of historical yet eternal
fact-the person of the risen Christ.
coupled with the Apostolic concep-
tion that the resurrection demonstrated
Jesus lordship over dead was the con-
viction that it attested his lordship
over Israel. The teaching of Jesus
after his reappearance opened the en-
tire scriptures In a new light. From
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-19
unto a living hope by the resurrec-

unto a living hope by the resurrec-
tion.
THE eliminating message of the
New Testament is that Jesus is lord
of lords. The book of Revelation is
in its right place because that is it's
crowning thought. The first short sec.
tion presents the vision of the glorious
Lord: the second section reveals him
winning his lordship over an imperfect
church.
"The last and longest section dis
closes him winning his lordship over
an apostate world. He is king of
kings and lord of lords. No less
marked is the evolution Of Paurs
thought. In his earliest epistles we
see that the resurrection has assured
him of Jesus lordship over death and
over Israel. In Roman and Corinthians
the central portion of his life he writes
Of justification by faith Of Jesus as
the lord over evil. During the later
period he rises still higher and unfolds
the risen Christ as lord of lords"
