EASTER IN CAIRO.
Observance of the Day Most Notable
Event of Year in the Egyp-
tan City.

At the Greek church in Cairo, the OBJ.
servance of Easter is the most notable
event of the year. A traveller who at
tended service there thus describes it:
"A goodly portion of the early serv-
Ice was conducted within the farther
depths of the altar behind the iconostas-
is. There was nothing in sight but
the magnificent screen, but we could
hear voices that seemed to come from
the recesses of cavern alternately
chanting and informing in strange, un-
familiar accents.
During this part of the service the
church was dimly lighted, and the curl
ously CARRIED figures moving through the
gloom in the body of the church seemed
singularly weird and uncanny. At a
given moment the lights were turned
up, and each person in the audience
lighted his candle. The great dome re-
fected the myriads of lights until our
eyes were almost blinded by the sudden
glare.
Eat this point the golden door in the
center OF the iconostasis opened, and
there came forth from the holy of holes,
into which no layman may enter, a
pageant of semibarbaric splendor. A
herald with staff in hand and wearing
the dress of the native Greek cleared the
way. His short, white kilt stood out
like the gauze skirts of ballet-dancer;
he wore coarse, white stockings, gar
tered above the knee, and richly-em-
broidered Zouave-j jacket.
Boys carrying incense burners pre-
coded the patriarch, who was followed
by acolytes, bishops, priests and other
ecclesiastical dignitaries all in full
canonicals and each carrying lighted
candle.
1.-THE vestments of the venerable
patriarch were gorgeous with gold EN-
broidery and precious stones. Some of
the dignitaries carried palm branches
in their hands. Of the two who were
near the end of the procession, one car
ried an icon-sacred picture-the frame
richly set in jewels, which he turned to
the audience for veneration, while the
other held in his hand large Bible set
with precious stones.
Forth from the royal door they
came through the center of the church,
and with slow and measured step made
their way into the courtyard-a mag
nificent spectacle. The dignitaries gath
cred about the reading desk, while the
patriarch recited the liturgy under the
starlit sky."-The Pilgrim.

EASTER ECC-ROLLINC.
Annual Carnival Enjoyed by Wash
ington Children on the White
House Lawn.

Ten thousand children, varied in age
and size and color, perhaps 100, 900 vivid
hued eggs, and upward of 10000 grown
folks watching this strange amalgama-
ton of color, is the essence of the Easter
egg-rolling carnival in the presidents
back yard. This monster egg-rolling
fete is custom which has been handed
down from one generation of children
to another. Where and when it origi-
able to determine, but all Washington
combines to guard it as a privilege in
violate. This great "play-time'' is not
devoted exclusively to the pastimes
wherein the colored eggs are an all-im-
portant adjunct, for many of the little
visitors who have come unprovided
with baskets of the fragile playthings
spend the entire day skipping the rope,
playing with dolls, sailing miniature
boats in the great fountain basins, or
indulging in some other diversion dear
to the childish heart. Of course, eggs,
decorated in many bright colors, en-
ployed in any one Of dozen ways, con-
stitute the reigning "fad." The older
children in the vast assemblage on the
White House lawn usually indulge in
games of "toss and CATCH" a pastime
which is likely to seriously deplete the
stock Of eggs, or egg picking" which
necessitates an even more prodigal use
of the delicate souvenirs of the day.
Picking" consists in the striking of
two eggs together until one or the other
is cracked, whereupon the owner of the
shell which has failed to stand the novel
test must surrender the damaged egg
to his victorious competitor.
Another game of the same order may
be played by two youngsters seated
upon the ground several feet apart.

OPERATORS HAVE A PLAN.
Will Reject OHer Made by Miners,
Bat VIII Present Another
In It's Place.

New York At the joint
conference of the subcommittee of
the anthracite coal mine owners and
their employees to be held here Tues
day, the operators will decline to
accept the arbitration plan as present
ed last week by the mine workers and
will in its stead present a counter pro-
position which, if agreed to by Pres
ident Mitchell and his men will bind
each side for more than two years.
The operators have been working on
the new plan ever since the adjourn
ment of the joint conference of last
Thursday and the inability of the
presidents of the hard coal carrying
railroads to complete minor details
caused postponement of twenty four
hours of the conference scheduled for
Monday.
President Mitchell announced Mon
day evening that the last of the btu
mlnous coal operators in the Pittsburg
district who had held out against the
1903 wage agreement signed the scale
Monday. This action, he said, clears
up the western Pennsylvania territory
and means that 10000 men in that ter
rltory who produce from 35 million to
40 million tons of soft coal a year will
receive an increase of 555 per cent
in wages.
All in Texas Have Signed.
Fort smith, Ark = Presi-
dent Hanrady, of this district of the
United Mines Workers. union, FRIDAY
evening wired Secretary Brackney
from Thurber, Kansas, that the Texas
Pacific had signed the scale. This
takes in all the coal mines in the
state of Texas. None of the opera.
tors of this state have yet signed, bu,
are expected to do so the coming
week.

ditional operators signed contracts

Each selects an egg from the basket at
her side and simultaneously they roll
forward the bright-colored ovals, with
the hope, of course, that collision will
result and the relative strength of the
two eggs be determined. Every year
finds dozens of new "egg games" in
vented
The features of this gala day at the
home of the president, however, which
are likely, after all, to most deeply i'm
press the casual spectator are. found in
the beautiful democracy of the fete and
the almost unfailing good-nature which
prevails among these acres of children.
The junior members of the families Of
cabinet ministers and senators, freed
for once from the sovereignty of nurses,
enthusiastically roll eggs to the grimiest
and raggedest little youngsters in all
Washington. Rich and poor, black and
white, mingle together for this one day
on terms of perfect equality; and,
strange as it may seem, seldom does
there creep to the surface any mani
festation of envy on the part of the
poorer children for the possessions of
their more fortunate playmates. 1t is
only the happy possessor of a goose
egg or turkey-egg who stands superior
to his fellows in this vast assemblage.
Mayhap he is a piccaninny in tattered
clothes, but as the champion "egg-pick.
err he is for the time being the idol of a
band of loyal satellites.-Woman'a

DECLARED. TO BE A TRUST.
Kansas Supreme Court So Holds
Regarding Kansas City Live
Stock Exchange.

Topeka, KANT was de-
cided by the Kansas supreme court
Saturday that the Kansas City Live
stock Exchange is a trust, and that
all cattle mortgages made through
members Of that exchange are IN
valid.
The far-reaching effects of this de-
cision are beyond estimation Nearly
all the cattle mortgages issued through
the members of the exchange contain
the provision that commission Of at
least so cents a head shall be charged.
Under the holding of the court, this
is sufficient to constitute a trust, and
all the notes and mortgages are abso-
lutely void and cannot be enforced.

Mayor Rose Ont of Race.

Topeka, Kansas. - William W.
Rose, ex-mayor of Kansas City, Kan,
was Saturday debarred by the Kan
sas supreme court from again hold
ing or having anything to do with the
the Office of mayor Of that city, until
the expiration of his present term of
Office, which will occur in April, 1907.
This puts Mr.. Rose out of the race
for reelection at the special election
to be called in a few days. The res.-
son that the limit is fixed at the
end of his present term, is because
the custer suit was brought to "oust
him from his term OF Office" as mayor.

In church he held her little hand.
