I HAVE had many Easter bonnets and as
think over the numerous anniversaries they
nearly all conjure up pleasant anticipations
regarding the wearing of them. Indeed, only
once do l remember any disappointment con-
nected with my Easter headgear, and this
dates back to my first visit to New York.
That day / spent in unalloyed regret; or at
least part of the day passed in self con-
demnation. and then the finale was SO absurd
that l soon forgot my discontinue.

was gaudy with the show of brilliant plumage
do not know the name of the dazzling bird !;
but its feathers were iridescent with color
and l was quite satisfied with the artistic
effect on my black hair, as l set out for church
On the way l met friend that had often
asked me to dine with her, whom l had I'M
willingly offended by being obliged to send
my regrets. However, / decided to go home
with her to luncheon after the service, and
there my troubles began. She was a member
of the Audubon Society, and RECALLED me with
the future dearth of birds in our glorious land
and of the wicked vainglory in killing these
little creatures for the follies of fashion Of
course l felt like criminal expiating my
crimes, until certain course was served at
he luncheon by my charming hostess and
bird philanthropist The titbit of the luncheon
was the delicate morsel of reed birds.
Her inconsistency made smile, and the
rest of the day was not spent by me in doing
penance for my becoming hat.

7 DO not associate the festival of Eastertide
with the memory of Easter hats; for in
Germany very little attention is given to this
adornment for the celebration; but l do re-
member very pleasant anniversary of my
girlhood, an event that paved the way for
my present career. / was only eleven years
old, and while my teacher, Frau Schroeder
Chaloupka, had given me instructions for
several years, she had never permitted me to
sing in public. sang an aria from g Creation"
Nun bent die Finr dds frische Grnn?"
The cathedral was packed, and when had
finished my song everybody in the congre
CATION was crying. l too was crying when l
had finished. 1t was like an inspiration, and
have never been able to move an audience
like that since. This happened in Stettin,
Germany, and when, seven years later, made
my debut in opera, the public remembered
my first success and gave welcome.
Then there is another reason why | like to
remember Easter 1t was the announcement

THE greatest discomfort ! ever felt over an
Easter bonnet was in Chicago. 1t never
occurred to me that the wind would carry
my hat away without my knowledge; but It
did, and to this day it has kept its secret well.
for | never found it.
/ walked into church proudly conscious that
nv hat was all right, and was somewhat an
moved at the way an acquaintance stared at
me- / resented her unusual interest by hold
ing my head little higher. 1t is really
feminine pleasure to study the blooming pews
on Easter morning and | was soon lot in
admiration of one bonnet in all that nodding
mass which pleased me most of all.
After service one of the elders greeted NE
with a quotation from Paul's epistle to the
Corinthians lis it comedy that woman
pray unto God uncovered" l raised my
hand to my head, and was humbled beyond
expression.
Now the very funniest part OF my story is
this: The next day one OF the papers in
describing the Easter bonnets, put the very
bonnet that admired so much upon my own
head

7 HAVE never cared for the much coveted
Easter bonent, and have never made sac
rifices to that end but do associate Easter
tide with day by the sea. To me the festival
of Easter has always been the holiday of JOY

work nor religious service; but it does mean
unaduterated joy, and is always spent 1t

have religious feeling, it is true; but !
never discuss religion with anyone: | have
always felt that religion is an individual affair,
and that ones views should never be forced
upon another. Mine is simple and satisfies
me fully; but it might not satisfy Others nor
fit the conditions that surround other hives
Therefore from a religious viewpoint never
try to interfere with the standards OF Others,
which are God given and as much OF right
or as near right my own.
But the season of Easter above all Others
appeals to me for very JOY Of living Ispend the
day on the sands eating shrimps and walking

postmaster of this city, was shot down
and fatally wo/lded by Erie II.

near 146th street on Broadway, this
morning. The assassin then blew out
his own brains.
Mackey was a stenographer en-
ployed by the law firm of Hill, Hunt
& Bolts.
Morgan was about to enter a SUBJ
way with his daughter when Mackey
approached and asked, "Is this Nor
gan?' Getting an. answer in the af-
firmative, Mackey pressed a revolver

fired. The bullet went out the right
side. As a crowd gathered Mackey
suicided.
The reason for the deed is un-
known.
The body of the assassin was iden-
titled by notice for life insurance

A card of the law firm was found in
his clothes. On one side was written:

An empty envelope addressed, "An-
ME Mackey, care the training school,

An operation showed the bullet had
perforated the intestines and 1t is be-
lieved he has an excellent chance of

ago, before Morgan became pastmas-
ter. !
A dagger and a slug-shot were
found in Mackey's possession.

long enough to be taken to St. Mary's
hospital where he died about
o'clock.
Bunnell had been brooding over
the death Of his wife, and the break

that these reasons determined what
the authorities believe was his sui

Ing his act. and had in no way indi-
Gated his intention. but the cIrcum-
stances surrounding the incident give
every indication of a most horrible
method OF suicide.
The spot where the killing occurred
is one of the most desolate along the
line OF the railroad. No reason is
known for Bunnell's having been
there, as he had left Walla Walla
Sunday morning for the Fred Stein
ranch where he WIS employed and
had evidently gone out of his way
Ito get to Spofford. Having reached
that point he calmly laid down on the
track and waited for the coming OF
death.
At Spofford the train comes down
grade, going into Walla Walla. The
engineer OF No. 7 noticed a dark OBJ
ject on the track when he was some
distance from the man, but believed
II to be a pig. Under this impression
he whlstled, but II was not until very
near the man that he was able TO dis
tinguish Bunnell and applied his air.
The train was coming with such force
that II was impossible to prevent

the man received IT is evident that at
the last moment he raised himself
from the track and attempted to hurl
himself from under the wheels. In
doing so he seized the rail with his
right hand which was crushed into a.
shapeless mass, and saved himself
from decapitation. but was struck on
the head by The engines pilot, receiv-
ing a frightful hole in the top of his
head. while his chin was split and
the entire front of his mouth crushed

As soon as the train could be stop

The dead man was raised in the

MURDER BAND CLAIMS
SIXTEEN VICTIMS

Taft, Mont, Nov. 9.-The bodies OF
three unknown men were found near
here Wednesday, not far from the
mouth Of the tunnel, by Henry Klus-
man, in advanced stages of decompo-
sitlon. They were buried where they
lay by the men who found them Ap-
parently all three had been murder
ed. Examination showed that all
their skulls were crushed and the
clothing showed the pockets turned
inside out.
1t is believed here that they were
murdered and that their death is but
one small chapter in the tale of ira
gedies of the section. 1t Is declared
here that an organized band Of mur-
derers has been following the Chi
cago, Milwaukee G. st. Paul construc-
ton gangs. and that graders who had
a sufficient amount of money from
their checks were in incessant danger
of assassination.
1t is stated to be a fact that be-
tween Taft, Mont, and Grand Forks,
Idaho, many bodies have been found
under similar suspicious conditions.
Owing to the remoteness of the To-
cality and the great distance from
the authorities, as well as the uncer-
tainty in which state the bodies are
found, the discoverers have simply
buried the bodies where they were
found. No publicity has been given
to the finding of dead bodies along
the way.
When the snow melted last spring
l3 human bodies were found between
these two points. They were all VIC
Tins of violent deaths, and in every
case the skull was crushed. All of
the remains were buried where they
ay without investigation and without
ceremony.

him. John Mitchell, former presi-

also mentioned.
The convention was opened with
addresses Of welcome by Governor
Buchtell, and Mayor Speer. The ses-
sions will continue two weeks. The
real work begins tomorrow. This will
be very important convention.
Gompers refused to discuss Taft's
statement made during the campaign
that Taft laid the foundation for
prosperous and effective labor unions
while he was on the bench. He de-
clared such a statement was false on
the face of it.
