An Easter Fragment.

Faith, hope and charity
And love should blossom to-day
Into sordid, caloused hearts,
Whose greed is gold, gold
It should open the cells long closed
To peaceful happy thoughts.
A tiny child in manager brought
The gift from God the father
To the Scarlet World.
Let love chase SANDER from your lips
Let love live with you for day
Open wide the portal of your heart
And love and love the lowly
On their way.
For as the stars go out on Easter morn
And the pearl of mist too fades,
So sure must the heart forgive
Each erring one ere we may clasp
The nail-scarred hands OF Christ
Who wrote once upon the sands.

cox AN IN AND OUTER
WHEN 1T COMES TO JAIL
Surrendered by His Bondsman for
Third Incarceration Within
Five Weeks.

When James J. Fletcher, bondsman.
surrendered Robert W. Cox, accused of
obtaining s25 from the st. James Hotel
by false pretenses, to the Police Court
authorities today on a bail piece pro-
cured few days ago, that individual had
the unique distinction OF having been in
on the same charge within period of
five weeks. The bail piece on which Cox
was surrendered today was secured with
the idea of having him committed to the
psycopatfic ward of the Washington Asy-
lum Hospital for examination by alien
lists.
The offense charged against Cox was
committed May - last. Several days
later Willard H. Turner, an employee of
the hotel, complained to the detective Of
flee and warrant was secured for Cox S
arrest. June 8 he was taken into the
Police Court and subsequently liberated
on a 500 bond offered by James j.
Fletcher, the trial being continued from
time to time at the instance of counsel
for the defense. About the oath of June
CoX's bondsman heard rumors that he
was preparing to leave the city to escape
trial and promptly secured bail price
for his surrender A day or so later the
defendant was taken into the Police
Court by Fletcher and turned over to the
marshal.
He was in custody for day or so, I'M
til he succeeded in persuading Fletcher
that the rumors he had heard We're with
out foundation. The latter subsequently
agreed to go on a new bond of $500 and
Cox was given his liberty again. Recent
" he has been acting strangely, accord
ing to his bondsman and attorney, and
it was thought best to send him to the

Private Frank Bloom of the 18th
Cavalry, the young Jewish soldier
whose attempt to gain a commission
resulted in a strong denunciation by
the President of the officer who in

been examined for admission to the

The examination took place at Fort

and transmitted to the War Depart

weeks.
1t is now learned that Bloom made
satisfactory showing in his first ex-

concerned. but was rejected because
of lack of aptitude" with respect to
general appearance, soldierly aspect
and pleasing address. In the present
case the reviewing authorities in the

how 1t could get back to old customs of
debate. Senator Bacon's proposed rule,

yoked wide comment. New senators are
inclined to think that the charges of
mixing too freely in the debate are
aimed at them.

obstructive of deliberate consideration

form it's methods or become the laugh

Amount Not Sufficient.

According 20 Ernest L. Thurston, act
ing superintendent Of schools, TINS
amount was not sufficient by any means
for the grounds. Only sixteen of the
thirty grounds have been opened this
year because of lack of money with
which to maintain them. 1t is thought
that the money raised by the children
Will enable the sixteen open plays rounds
to remain open for q fair length of time.
The fact that the children have been
forced to maintain the grounds them
selves; that they have found it necessary
to give entertainments, luncheons and
plays to raise the money needed, has
ca led forth not Little comment. Many
parents have objected to their children
carrying tickets about, selling them 10
friends and relatives. ut is no less than
begging said one of the officials of the

out that in many instances children have
lost much time from school preparing for
entertainments and plays at the end OF
