EASTER.

Or. j. w. W0illng, the aOle
Methodist divine, who at one
time was pastor OF the Lancaster
church, afterwards spending a
number of years in Brazil as q
missionary, has an interesting
article in this weeks issue of the
Southern Christian Advocate on
the subject of Easter, which will
be celebrated throughout the
Christian world tomorrow, In
which he gives his views as to the
origin of the name of this great
annual church festival. We quote
from DR.. Wolling as follows:
The whole Christian world now
celebrates Easter, which is the
joyful festival in memory of the
resurrection of our Lord Christ.
This Is the great movable feast
of the Church and to many 1T is
perplexIng to tell just when it is
| due. 1t can never in any year
come earlier than March 22nd,
or later than April 25th, but the
rule by which Its coming is de-
termined is the following: 1t
must fall on the first Sunday af-
ter the first full moon following
the vernal equinox, which, of
course, gives us the 21st of March
as the fixed point.
The name of this feast, Easter,
ls by many supposed to come
! from the name OF the Saxon god
! dess, EasCre, whose festival among
those rade people was supposed
to come at this season, and as
some claim was transferred by
the Church into the Christian
calendar. This may have been.
However, it is a notable fact that
none OF its customs OF that wan
ton goddess are Joined to our
solemn, beautiful feast, and hence
tor this and other reasons / am
disposed to think fits origin as
another and very different. After
Xamlnlng many opinions my
thought is that the word East
ern" was by the AngIG-Saxons
changed by dropping one letter
from Eastern 20 our Easter. Ii
is reasonable thus to conclude,
for they looked to tue East for
our Lords coming, as the sun
| bursts forth in the east bringing
to life new day. "A resurrection
from the dark, cold night, ga His
rising was to them the Easter, or
the festival of the eastern light.

righteousness. And hence the
name. In all of Northern Eu-

to Make Big Improvements.

NEW YORK, May Sit was an
nounced yesterday that at the last
meeting of the board of directors of
the New York Central the outlook for
next year was so favorable that it was
decided to authorize improvements
and equipment involving an expendi-
ture of S5,700,00o.
On the same day the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern Railway, an
other Vanderbilt line. appropriated $5,-
100000 for improvements and equip
ment. The companies have the cash
to carry out the work.
President w. c. Brown said today
that loaded car movement on the New
York Central lines for April was the
heaviest in the history of these roads
since April, 1907. The companies NOV
ed 26O.S71 more loaded cars than they
did during April, 1908. The first five
days of May show an average increase
of between 5000 and 10000 loads day
and indicate the largest loaded cal

Steamer Shores, With Crew and

Reported to Have Found

ALL ON BOARD DROWNED
Boat Was Overdue at Duluth Six Days
Storm the Worst Ever Ex-
perIenced on Lake at
This Season.

DULUTH, Mimi, May s.-Advices
received here are to the effect that the
steamer Shores, six, days overdue at
Duluth, went down off White Fish
Point in Lake Superior with all on
board. Crew and passengers numeber-
ed twenty-one. Details have not yet
been received
The news of the destruction of the
steamer Shores was brought to Duluth
last night by the steamer Northland,
who says that as the latter was pass
ing White Fish Point, they discovered
wreckage all over the lake, and, in
their opinion, it belonged to the
Shores.
The Shores was upbound from Mich
igan with load of salt. The rumor
that her passengers and crew num-
bered twenty-one cannot be verified.
The gale in which the ship is be-
lieved to have foundered last week
and in which the Aurania, Russia and
Kestor went down, was one of the
fiercest in the history of Lake Superior
for this season Of the year.

Suspense Over Various Judgeship Ap-

nations of Senate.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Taft today
ended the suspense over the various
judgeship appointments by signing
the nominations of the senate to Will
liam /. Grubbs. of the northern district
OF Alabama, vice Huntley resigned;
George Donworth, for the western dis
trict of Washington; Charles A. Will
lard, for United States Judge of Min
nesota, vice Milton Purdy, resigned.
Taft is determined to divorce the
judiciary of the country from possible
politics. He wants the men whom he
appoints to the bench to be
the most capable avallable. On
high authority 1t is asserted
that the principle reason for
the presidents recent consultation
with members of the senate judiciary
committee, is his desire that after this
the appointments to the judiciary
shall not be considered at peculiarly
senatorial patronage. In several cases
the nominations of men eminently
fitted for judges, in the opinion of the
president, have been held up, or de-
feated by the senate, by the personal

instance of this sort is the case of

In recognition of his ability Milton
Purdy was appointed to this position
by Roosevelt. Senator Nelson, however
did not approve of the appointment,
| having a friend who desired the
place. He succeeded in preventing
the action of Purdys nomination and
Purdy went out with the Roosevelt
administration. Taft Immediately re-
appointed him but as the view OF
Nelson continued in the opposition
and Purdy resigned few Gays ago.

Jury Not Long in Reaching Verdict
Regarding Guilt Of "Mystcr-
ious Woman" Whose
Identity is Known.
BROTHER is IN COURT
Attorney Gordon Scored kidnapers in
His Closing Areument,and
Gives Credit Of Planning
Crime to Woman.

MERCER Pa, May Sat the open
ing of the court in the Boyle case to-
day William F. McDermott, OF Chica-
go, made an apparent open acknowl-
edgement of his relation with Mrs.
Boyle. He sat beside Mrs. Boyle and is
quoted as saying he would spend all
his money to keep his sister from TAX
ing the stand, denying the prosecution
chance to probe her past life. At
torney Miller, for Mrs. Boyle, again
this morning for the defense. The
prosecution announced it would not
ask conviction for kidnapping on the
first count in the indictment, but only
for aiding in kidnapping on a second
count Miller based his plea on the
fact that no overt act has been COM
mitteed in Mercer county.
Attorney Gordon began the argu-
meut for the prosecution about ten
o'clock He said:
Scores the BoyIes'
Compared to a kidnaper, a burglar
| is respectable. A kidnaper must be
marked as man without human
sympathy This is the sort of man
Boyle is admitted to be by the at
torneys. Keep in mind how detailed
and carefully planned the collection OF
the ransom money must be. Boyle
said in Cleveland She Is little frail
woman, who planned 1t ALL No one
Idenies the statement" He cited the
fact that the Bovles were in Sharon
previous to the kidnapping, and when
they left, they said. they we're going
to Denver. Mrs Boyle listened to the
argument with her chair tilted back
against the wall. When Gordon said
Boyle was not clever enough to form
the plan, Mrs Boyle dropped her eyes
modestly. At the completion Of the
arguments. the jury was charged and
retired shortly before noon.
Jury Out Five Minutes.
The Jury was out five minutes and
\ took but two ballots. 1t found Mrs
Boyle guilty of aiding and abettine
KIDNAPPING. Judge Williams announc
ed he will probably pass the sent

sible the sentence of Mrs. Boyle will
be 25 years.

ing. There was no demonstration or

and was sorry the woman had to be

day.
There will be no appeal for Boyle
