NEW YORK. Feb. 20.-The evi.
dence that urgent pressure to sell
was completed for the time being,
which made itself manifest in yestcr-
days stock market, was confirmed
by the early action of prices today.
There was some wavering during the
first hour OF the trading which carried
the level below last night for brief
tjmc.
Reading was the feature of the
day and its furious activity caused
by the enormous blocks absorbed on
the advance 0vershadowed the whole
market. The yielding tendency of
the market during the first hour in
which Reading fully shared was due
in large part to the deduction drawn
by speculative operators from the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court against
The Chesapeake and Ohio in the mat
Ter of transportation charges for coal

The furry in call loans to 8 per

EASTER IN
Quaint Customs Observed on the
Great BarOniaI Estates.

In Germany some quaint Easter Gus
toms are observed by the peasantry.
At sunrise on Easter morning one is
awakened by the servants OH the great
estates singing Easter anthems be-
meath the window to the ~accompani-
ment of a small but excellent orches-
ira maintained among them. Then the
baron and all his guests assemble in
the great hall of the castle while the
entire establishment passes in review
before them.
Each couple carry-for they march
two by tWo-something which indicates
to what department they belong and
is also emblematical of the life and
death of the Saviour or of something
connected Herewith. The washerwo-
man carries Il tub white as snow con-
tanning a large doll intended to rep
resent the infant Jesus; the woodmen
have n shining Ratchet. its bright blade
driven into a small cross of some black
wood; the gardeners Il large bouquet
surmounted by Il crown of t%lorns; the
cooks Il huge cake baked in the form
of a sepulcher; the housemaids Il
broom wrapped in white rag, emblem
atical of the Saviour's winding sheet;
the blacksmiths a great sledge ham
mel and spikes, to represent the nipple
ments which nailed him to the cross,
while the masons bring up the rear,
trowel in hand and carrying a large
stone to represent the one which was
rolled away from Christ's tomb.
As each pair pass the master of the
house they make Il profound obeisance
and receive from him II gift of money,
This quaint Easter custom has been
observed for many generations and is
universal on all the great estates of

A KANSAS
Handel's "Messiah" Sung Every Year
by Four Swedes.

AT Lindsborg. a quaint town, the cen
ter of a Swedish colony in Kansas,
the annual Easter event which the
sturdy farmers and their housewives
look forward to is the singing of Han
del's oratorio, 1.-The Messiah" by a
chorus of 400 trained voices, accompa-
MED by an orchestra and a three man.
ual pipe organ which cost $4,000.
The oratorio brings TO the little vii
lage of Lindsborg, with Il population of
1900, at least 10000 people during the
event. In this same little town Nine.
Lillia1 Nordica once gave Il recital to
al audience of 1900 people. All this
has been made possible md successful
by the perseverance and toll of the
colonists.
The Swedish colony was founded in
1867 by DR.. Olaf Olson, who had been
q minister in his native country and
who, with his friends, purchased 90
600 acres in the Smoky Hill valley to
found Il Swedish colony-a colony that
was to have no saloons and that should
be without vices. Today the Lindsborg
church has 1000 communicates.
DR.. Olson heard The Messiah" sung
In England. His people were a sing
ing race He returned to the colony
with the idea of making the singing
of the oratorio an annual event at
Eastertide in honor and glory of the
resurrection. 1t would be something
to inspire his people. He talked with
the settlers of the Smoky Hill valley.
They gave from their meager savings
to bear the expense. Mrs. Carl Swens-
son drilled the first chorus of forty
voices. The soloists came from Rock
Island. The first oratorio was Il sue
cess. Seven years ago an auditorium
was built with a seating capacity for
1000. 1t was predicted that not enough
people could be assembled to fill it,
but it has been crowded every year
since it vas built.
The days hat the oratorio is given
the visitors travel to Lindsborg by
train and by wagon. Farmers with
their families drive twenty and thirty
miles to hear the chorus. - Chicago
