Celebrations of Easter


parts Of peacock's feathers. signifi.
cant of the eternal vigilance of the
Church.
After officiating at mass the Pope
is borne back through the church tc
the sound of music, and ascends tc
the balcony over the great central
doorway. From that lofty point he
pronounces the papal benediction upon
the thousands who with bowed heads
or uplifted faces, according to wheth.
er they be of the faith or not, crowd
the vast church below.
The celebration of Easter at Rome
concludes with the illumination of
the great dome Of st. Peters, which
is crusted with thousands Of lights.
At dusk one by one they appear until
at last they all burn against the pur.
pie Italian sky--a gigantic ball OF
fire.
Easter Is the grand festival of the
Russian year; so for weeks before,
hand every one is busy with the sort
OF preparations which people in
America make before Christmas. A
gift, be 1t only gaily colored egg, is
almost obligatory, though all gifts are
known as eggs" The grand feature
of the day is, of course, the church
service. In fact, the church festivals
are also the national festivals Of Rus.
STA, and almost every function" in
court or private life begins with a re.
ligious service of some sort. About the
only exception to this rule are balls
and theatrical spectacles. The matin
begins at midnight and is followed by
the liturgy. The usual service in the
middle Of the morning is omitted, and
most people are in their beds recover,
ing from the open-eyed night. Natur
ally, the most magnificent celebration
Is at the cathedral of the Winter Pal
ace in st. Petersburg, where the pres.
ence of the emperor, empress and all
the court in full dress and uniforms
adds to the magnificence of the SER
vice as spectacle. There the begin.
ming of the service is the passing OF
the procession Of priests through the
long suites of rooms in the Palace in
their ceremonial search for the dead
Christ. On their return from their
fruitless search they find the doors
closed and fastened, but they open
swiftly at the announcement, Christ
Is risen!"-The Pilgrim.

explorers discovered that
the Alaskan Indians celebrated their
Easter in their own way, though, of
course, without the religious signifi-
canoe that attaches to ours as a
Christian festival. The Zulus have
an Easter, and since the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary, the
Hopi Indians of the Southwest have
celebrated the awakening" of nature
In the spring. Indeed, the general
celebration of an Easter is as notice
able in ones studies of primitive peo-
pie, as is the use of the cross among
them, and we find that with every
people the cross has a significance
which is more often religious that
otherwise. Among the Indians of the
Southwest, for instance, the cross sig
nifies the four directions of the COM
pass, and as their religion is compos-
ed of worship of the elements neces-
sary to the growing of their corn, the
cross idea has a place in it.
The Christian Easter, however, as
it Is celebrated among us to-day may
be traced back to the early days of
: the Christian era. Although there is
no data now in existence, the early
disciples doubtless observed the an
nlversary Of the resurrection in a way
fitting to themselves and the times in
which they lived. In any event, on
the principle that all ceremonies have
their foundation in a mere custom, it
was early in the Christian era that
Easter became an established holy
day In the church, and now In all
lands where knowledge of the life
and works Of Christ has penetrated it
Is observed as a day Of especial sa.
credness.
= Celebrating, as 1t does, an event
the event, indeed--upon which the
Christian, or rather. orthodox Christ
ian religion has been builded, 1t is
none the less a movable holy day.
Concerning this popularity of the fes-
fival, there has ever been a great
diversity of opinion among church
men. From the earliest times disputes
were held over the proper date of
Easter. In some localities the actual

BIG GALA DAY.
Formal Opening of the New
Observation-Disclosures Store.

Last Saturday the Alexander
Freidenrich Co. held their formal
opening and judging from the
thu ongs who visited the store dur
ing the day, the event was a sue
cess from every point of view.
The Alexander Freidenrich Co.
are successors to the old firm Of
Alexander & Freidenrich who have
been identified with Grangeville's
history, in commercial way, for
the past thirty years, coming here
in 1879 when this town was moth
ing but a cross roads settlement
and Camas Prairie pasture field
for Indian ponies. That the new
firm will meet with we'll merited
success Vas splendidly evidenced
by the throngs that gathered Sat-
urday to view the new store and
share the souvenir bargains that
were being distributed as memen-
tos Of the occasion.
The new store occupies the same
corner as did the old one but is
larger and more modernly equip.
ed, it being the purpose Of the new
firm to leave nothing undone that
would facilitate the transaction OF
business and add to the comfort
of patrons. A most important in
novation and our particular at
traction to the ladies is the rest or
waiting parlor, a cosy little spot
ON the balcony just at the head of
the stairs in the rear of the store.
This rest room should be highly
appreciated by people living at a
distance who, heretofore, have
had no convenient rest parlor.
Here one can spend leisure hours
comfortably and enjoyably. All
the latest magazines are at hand
and writing material is furnished
gratis. The new store is as per-
fectly equipped as the most modern
store in any metropolitan city.
Hundreds of feet of glass show
cases and counters have been in
stalled. 1t was the intention to
have these counters and cases for
the formal opening but delay in
transportation prevented their ar
rival on time. They came Monday,
however, and now are in position,
adding materially to the appear.
ance of the store. As an opening

urated a special sale which con-
tinues all week. We are glad to
welcome the new store and pre-
dict for it we'll merited success.

Aldrich and Foraker, who repre-

left the friends who had stood by
