Gala Lily Popular.

A revival of the Gala lily popular
ity is among the incidents of the
Easter season worth mentioning.
There was a time, some years ago,
when this flower grew and blossomed
in every florists shop and in every
dwelling house where the raising of
plants was undertaken. Then it
passed from favor. Now it returns
to find SO many admirers that it is
said there will hardly be enough Gala
lilies to meet the demand. Florists
have not cultivated the Gala into
strange shapes. It has just the same
serene, stately, pure and unbending
presence that always characterized
it, and for this alone it receives a re-
newed admiration. - Boston Tran
script.

Good Friday Customs.


All through Christendom there pre-
vail many curious customs and be-
liefs in regard to Good Friday. In
Florida it is thought that if three
loaves of bread baked on that day
be placed in the corncrib mice will be
prevented from nibbling the corn, nor
will the crib be invaded by rats.
weasles or worms.
In many European countries on
Good Friday there are eaten cakes
marked with a cross. In England
they consist of a sort of spice cake,
with a sugared top, and are called
Hot Cross Buns.
Many charities take place on the
day. One of the most curious is, held
at the Church of St. Bartholomew
the Great, Smithfeld. After sermon
the rector places on a gravestone
t~wenty-one ~sixrences, which are to be
picked up by as many poor widows,
who have heard the sermon. The
custom originated in the will of a Ger
tain lady, who left funds to pay for
the ermon and provide the sixpences.
If any Of the widows have fingers too
stiff to pick up the money, they for
felt it. At the Church of All Hallows,
London, buns are distributed to the
children of the S~unday-school and the
ward school. In the Church of Glen
than, Lincolnshire, there used to
take place an odd performance known
as washing Molly Crimes" The
church contains an old stone image,
popularity spoken of as Molly Grimes,
and every Good Friday the figure
was washed by seven old maids of

Mobs Resist Collector
and Governor Will Use Militia,

Frankfort, KY. - On receipt of
word from Tax Collector J. w. Peck
that he has been prevented by mobs
and organizations from collecting
railroad taxes in the counties of Car
ter, Boyd and Elliott, Governor Will
son announced that he would use the
State militia to assist the official.
The railroad taxes, which a number
of the counties in the State owe, are
heavy, and have been unpaid for
many years. Trouble is anticipated
when the troops enter the mountains.

Hot Cross Bun Passing.

Only 100000 "hot cross buns"
were consumed in London on last
Good Friday, Indicating the dying out
of the custom. The cross bun is the
modern equivalent of the cakes eaten
in honor of the Saxon goddess Eostre,
from whose name the word Easter
comes. Her worshiperS became Chris
tians, but, unwilling to give up the
buns, compromised by making them
with q cross.

Symbols of the Resurrection

All the spring flowers are, fifty,
symbols of the Resurrection, the re-
newal of life after the killing frosts,
and commerce has made the Bermuda
lily a spring flower. There are
sweeter flowers and lovelier. The
lately developed Easter lily resembles
somewhat the blossom of the despised
jimson weed, though 1t seems not
nearly so beautiful to the artists eye.

ture this morning at an early hour.
C. Yansheta. a Japanese contractor

state Yesterday with a view TO hiring
some of his countrymen In the beet
fields, This morning he met with a
couple of confidence men who per
suaded him that they could help him
out In some way. They enuced him
to go with them and they led him
to a point Immediately back OF the
Tabernacle where they undertook to
talk him into playing a game Of cards.
Yansheta refused TO get into the game
and a warm discussion enSued. In
the meantime one of the fellows was
going through the foreigners pockets.
At this stage OF the game Officer
Crompton appeared on the scene and
placed the fellows under arrest They
were caught In the act and one of the
men had SIS Of Iansheta's money In

were brought 10 the station where they
gave their name as Charles j. Dwyer

of the fellows were discovered going

Wilson and Morris had a few dollars
with them, and just prior to their ar
rest they had purchased tickets for

that the money hey had stolen was
money with which they purchased
