EASTER
HOLIDAY
Many Conditions Conducive L
Large Measure Of National
Gratitude at Present.
RECORD BREAKING YEAR.
In all Lines Of Industry -Cele-
brations in Many Water
town Churches.

At no other period in its eventflll
history has the American nation ap-
preached the Easter holiday under
conditions conducive to SO large a
measure of national gratitude as ut
present. Just now more than ever
the United States is emphatically the
"good will nation of the world, the
nation that stands far more distinct
ly than any other for international
peace, amity and worldwide fratern3
ity
In almost every department of ha.
man industry, in almost every avenue
of trade and commerce, at home aud
abroad, the year has witnessed ad-
cement and enlargement such as
has not been known before. 1t has
been a record breaking year in the
volume of our exports, in the produc-
ton of our mines, in the extension of
our banking interests, in the develop
ment of our railroads and the settle
ment of our public lands. 1t has been
an ever memorable year also in the
history Of American philanthropy and
beneicence, with gifts for educational
purposes.
These things should cause us 10
turn with renewed hope, energy and
enthusiasm to the great task of MAX
ing the American republic more ir.usy
than ever the exponent of popular
rights and liberties and the leader OF
the world in the better ways of
peace and all the nobIer achievements
of the highest civilization.

W ]. Baskerville and Mrs. Marie
Cook are Oyerhauled II
Mankato, Minn.
AFFINITY IS TO q S !. i 4 d N @
In Former Years Both Had Met
and Woed, but Were Finally
Estranged d

There was considerable comment
and not 4 little surprise when 1t was
learned here that aA II. Baskerville
and Mrs. Mary Cook OF Watertown
had eioped on Friday, one leaving
young bride OF few months, the 9TH
|er young bridegroom They were
arrested in Mankato. Mimi, Monday
afternoon BY Sheriff osten and Dep,l.
ty Sheriff I'D i}Ario in a bank. where
they had called for money that the
bride had telegraphed home for and
with which they expected to leave for
the east. The sheriff had instruc-
tions from the county attorney Of
Watertown to hold Baskerville. AS /
yet there We're no charges against
Mrs. Cook.
Their First Meeting.
Baskerville is 90 years old and Mrs.
Cook 1S. From the stories they tell I.
it appears that Baskerville was sery-
ing in Company i, Sixteenth United
States infantry at Fort Crook, and \
was ordered to Watertown, nearly
three years ago for target practice.
While there he met the future Mrs.
Cook and fney fell deeply In love with
each other. baskerville soon after
ward purchased his discharge and
went to yyatertown and took aitia-
lItion on the farasfii Of ne father
md they soon became engaged.
There was no trouble till one evening
last June when Baskerville took an
other girl ID a dance Then Ills af.
fanced broke the engagement Last
| August Baskerville wooed and won
another young Watertown woman and
1.-THE marriage took, place In October,
The following month the other young
woman was married to Charles Cook,
"a worthy young farmer.
/ Were Not Happy. i
IS Neither wedding proved happy
4 one, and Mrs. Cook and her husband
lived together but a few weeks. Bases
keryille and his wife lived together
4 until February when he left her and
went to Omaha. There he cores
4 ponded with his first love and soon.
i went to Mobridge, S. D., where he Sc
q cured a situation. Learning Of this
Mrs. Cook went there on Friday, and
i they quickly made up their minds 10
i elope.
4 The young couple say they planned
on going east, Mrs. Cook to relatives
lin Indiana. Each expected that the
i divorce courts would later release
them SO that they could marry.
j Are Released.
On Tuesday sheriff osten received
instructions to release Baskerville
1 and Mrs. Cook, saying the alleged
crime was committed in another caun
ty. out of his jurisdiction. The sher-
iff released the couple. Mrs. Cooks
mother arrived Tuesday and left later
with her for visit to Chicago.
The sheriff and county officials Of
! Mankato could find no evidences of
a crime having been committed there.
Both parties are well and favorabty
known here. The young woman is
one OF the estimable persons Of this
place and the occurrences within the
past few days are only another dem.
onstration Of the old adage that true
lore never runs smoothly.

called. They studied and they drilled They learned to handle ropes, shift sales, and use carpenters tools. They darned their own socks and mended their own clothes. If they got into a quarrel (which. I fancy, was not very often), they were left to fight it out themselves. In cricket and other sports they learned to play the game and to take a beating man. fully. They worked hard enough to find a real zest in holidays, and lived so plainly that when they went on shore they often spent some of their pocket money, like the other boys, on tarts and cakes.

intent were it's rulers on transforming their inheritance that the historic Ja- pan which Lafcadio Hearn idealized threatened to pass out of sight, if not altogether out of mind. It was in the field of secular things that the tide of foreign influence was first felt, and
 the earliest waves of it naturally spent
 themselves on the bis centers of popu-
 lation. With the western spirit fairly
 established in city architecture, city
 costumes and city ideas, the reform CTS addressed themselves to the moder
 nization of the ethnic faiths, always
 strongly entrenched in the country
 districts Buddhism soon fell from
 the grace of privilege. the possessions
 of its wCrshipers were secularized, its
 priests turned from the ruin of their
 temples to wander about in poverty.
 The action taken to dispossess the
 shrines that remained began about
 two years ago. It was the aim of the
 government to recover the land occu-
 pied, and have it brought under culti-
 vatior and otherwise utilized.
 But the Japanese have discovered that the civilization which they em- braced with such eaGerneSS has some of the defects of its qualities. The re- cent anarchistic plots aroused them as from q dream. To nation buttressed in loyalty, it's opposite is almost in And as religion and loy- alty for the Japanese are convertible terms, the authorities have taken counsel together in the interest of na- tional safety. Not only has the word gone forth to leave the menaced shrines alone but the ministers for | home affairs and education have in | all officials under them ito urge greater reverence for the tenn ples and Shrines, and to do what they | can toward strengthening faith, not only in the native religions, but in all religions obtaining among the peo- pie" The policy or non-interference with any faith, first entered upon in 1890, is thus expanded into an en- oi all faiths.

NEW DAY IN IRELAND,

The depopulation of Ireland, which
 has been on since 1S4I, appears at
 last to have met d decided check. The
 British decennial census of this year
 shows a population for this island of
 4,3Sl,95l, which is only 76,S24 under
 the figures of ten years ago. This IS much the smallest loss that the island has suffered in any decade from the 70 years ago when famine swept away thousands of the people and great emigration began which still continues, but in steadily declin- ing volume. Compared with the loss Of I6,S24 in the past ten years, Ireland lost, besides its natural population in creases, some 246,00O between 1891 and 1901. 470,00 in the previous de- cade, 237, 540 from 1871 to 1881, 2S6,000 from 1861 to 1871, 723,S21 from 1851 to 1861, and no less than 1,622,7 ,740 from 1S4l to 1S51-much of this last being due to starvation from the failure of the crops. The island now has a pop ulation less by 3,000O00 than it had in 1901. and less by 3,S00,000 than in 1S41, when the high record was established; and the latter figure just about meas ures the volume of emigration, chiefly to the United States, since 1853.
 This long suffering country is evil dently at last falling upon better days. The land purchase acts of recent years on the basis of government as sistance are doing much for the re- generation of the land. and the great cooperative production and distribu ton undertakings under the leader ship of Sir Horace Plunkett is prov ing exceedingly effective for agricul- | ture improvement and economy in | distribution. Ireland is now taking to ! itself a large share of the English | markets for dairy products, eggs and | DCHltry. Experiments in tobacco cul- ! turc are giving most promising re- | suits. There is also a noteworthy re | vival of the fisheries industry, with | Londonderry as it's center. It is d 1 new industrial era which has set in and we may fairly believe it will notf be long in reducing the emigration below the natural rate of population increase and starting the figures in the other direction. There is no good reason why so fertile a land as Ireland should have a population density so low as 135 to the square mile, as is now the case-Springfield (Mass) Republican.

PESTlLENCE VANQUISHED ON
 THE ISTHMUS.

For centuries all civilized nations have been building canals and dams, though the Gatun dam breaks the record for bigness; the locks, too, at Panama are larger and longer and more elaborate and imposing than any yet designed. All this is true, and yet it failed deeply to impress me After all it was a mere question of bigness- and something more or something less; and as a result of organized energy and systematic cooperation of forces for rapid daily accomplishment, I still think the construction of the Pacific railroads fifty years ago at the rate of half dozen miles day, every material even water, having to be hauled to the moving camp which constituted the ad- vanCing front-this was by far a more dramatic display than anything now to , be seen on the isthmus. Again, the Gatun dam is a great conception; but as such the recent tunneling of the Hudson and the subterranean honey- combing of Manhattan island, combined with the bridging of the East river. impress me more. Finally the locks at the entrance and outlet of the pro-
 
 lures; but to my mind the terminal sta tions built or now in process of build ing in the heart of New York City are more imposing. As I have said, all this is mere question of degree, and time out of mind the world has been building roads and waterways More over, behind this particular waterway IS the treasury of the United States But when it comes to the sanitation which made all that is now going on at Panama humanity and humanely' pOssi- pestilence. and, while harnessing the Chagres, also making 1t innocuOus to those both working and dwelling on it's banks-this is new, and the like of it the world had not before seen.-Charles Francis Adams in Pro- ceedings of Massachusetts, Historical Society.
