ference with the lines of the street carr.
the car was not taken to the front OF The
PaZzi Palace as usual, but into the new
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. where thefe
was more room.
The crowd was very dense when the
fireworks began to go OF. and. perhaps,
the people pressed closer than was wtee.
At any rate, there was louder expdo-
sion than usual, and something shot SUD
denly down and sidewise through the
crowd. Among them several persons were
fatally burned and afterward died, out
the most tragic occurrence was that o& the
instant death of a poor little girl, whose
head was Struck by the explosive. The
saddest part of il was that this c11id

and had been almost the only survivor OF
her family. They carried her to the a4e-
walk and laid her gently down In the
spring sunshine, while they waited 1nr

the child was killed was kept covered
with flowers, and nearly every passerby

there. The city gave her as honorabole Q

This ceremony OF the Saturday preced-
ing Easter is of ancient origin. The story
gnes that at the time of the crusade
under Godfrey Of Bouillon there was a
certain noble Florentine. called Pazzlno
de- Paz1i. who was the fret to plant the
Christian flag on the walls of Jerusalem.
For this act Godfrey gave him his own
armcria1 bearings, and he was allowed to
bring away with him from the Holy
Lana three stones from the hoiy sepu'-
cher.
On his return to Florence these stones
were placed in the Church of st. Biaglo.
whence they were afterward re-
moved to another church. that Of st.
Apcstoli. To this church goes on the
morning Of Holy Saturday the arch
bishop. attended by all his clergy, and
strikes fire from these stones. Then ne
lights taper and, carrying it in process
sion, they all go to the baptistery. after
which uney cross the square to the du-
ONO, where the fire Ia blessed, and those
of the devout who wish may light their
own candles at 1t.
There is also another version Of the
origin of this custom, which is that
years ago. when 1T was the proper thing
for all devout FlOrentines to light q
taper at the cathedral the morning OF
Holy Saturday and to carry 1t each one
to his own house, there was a man OF
the Pazzi family so strong and tall that

than any one else. He was, therefore. the
first to take the holy fire and he dis
tributed it to others. When he died, they
say, q car was made to carry the can
dies, and, the real origin Of the car
being forgotten, 1t was transformed into
a trophy and the tapers into fireworks.
But all these things were q long time
ago, and the modern spectators Of the

with the present performance than with

is ridiculous to say that they had plan
of campaign mapped out from the start.
They had no intention of going to
British Columbia when they began their
march. But the Crows over there had
helped them in the inter-tribal fighting.
and they were just foolish enough to
imagine that the Crows would fly to arms
to help them against the whites: II ever
there was crafty. level-headed Indian,
1t was the Crow. He did not help them
and they had to surrender.

eyes twinklins, sit is history that the
three young braves who started that war
by killing white men. were all killed dur

surrendered Gen. Miles asked. Where is

Mr.. Curtis speaks with most enthusiasm.
