Easter. q season of rejoicing after
forty days Of fasting and prayer.
dawns this morning. and all the world
wherever the gospel of Christ has
been taught. and where his divine
word has been given will celebrate the
DAY with hymnal praise and prayer
full devotion.
The story itself Is simple and we'll
known. Christ went to his crucifixion
and death. and in three days--on the
first Easter-was resurrected and as
cended into the home Of his Father.
All denominations observe the DC.
casion. and all give prais. for the
resurrection Of the great and divine
teacher.
Not unlike Christmas, the Day of
Nativity, Easter LIS season when one
remembers his friends. and when the
first blossoms of early spring are
given in remembrance of the sacred
day. Worldly Customs have made the
day to correspond with the advent of
irpring, for spring is a changeful visi-
tor. and it's advent is not fully as
sured until the flowers begin to bloom
and the first blossoms appear In the
greening orchard. 1t Is. too. the day
when man changes his heavy gar
ments OF winter for the lighter raj
ment Of spring, and when woman.
decks herself In glory and blossoms
as Sharon's rose.

OF flowers this year there is the
greatest profusion. Both the First
and the Second Markets were haunt
ed by buyers yesterday and last night.
There were some who could buy but
a single stem; there were others who
carried arms full of blossoms away.
But each did II with the-sa me-paF-
pose and thought. and the single lit
tie lily bought by the woman who
could not buy more will receive as
great a blessing as the shower OF bios

The strangling Of pretty 1s-year.
old Matte Hackett near the door OF

one OF the most mystifying crimes that

100000 men. women and boy work
ers Idle. the national coal strike was
called of today by the ofiicials Of the
Federated Miners Union.
Tho decision to call of tho strike
WAS reached after a long conference
this afternoon In Westminster. where
minerI delegates. representing every
coal field In Great Britain. gathered.
The resolution to end the struggle
was carried by \ vote Of 40 to l3S.
After the meeting Secretary Thomas
Ashton said that he did not antici-
pate any trouble from the extremist
element, who wanted to keep up tho
fight.
Before today's meeting 1t had been
seen that the strike spirit had weak
ened in Scotland and Wales. where
the vote had been either In favor Of
the minimum wage bill and return Of
work or else had been very close.
It II now believed that by the mid
ole Of next week the coal industry
viii again be in full blast. although
miners in the fields Of northern Eng
land are protesting against going
back to work.
Nearly $4,000 men had returned to
work before the miners officials de.
cided on ending the strike.
The next step will be to appoint
Joint boards throughout the various
mining districts to fix a minimum
wage. ~ provided for In the mini

Break Helps Memphis.
Memphis proper has protited by the
breaking of the st. Francis levee.
The first break occurred at about 5
O'Clock in the evening. and by 9
o'clock the river had fallen from "A
stage of 4o.3 to 44.10 feet at Mem
phis, and the fall was increasing as
the crevices In the levee grew wider.
Conditions in North Memphis have
been rapIaiy growing more acute as
the river rose even beyond the Wild

Laborers Conscripted.
Laborers. both negroes and whites,
have been conscripted and taken to

fight against the Father OF Waters.
North Memphis has been practically
cut off from the rest OF the city, the
last car line on Popular avenue be-
Ing compelled to stop running this
morning.
Force Doubled.
Owing to steady fail OF rain and
the high wind from the Mississippi
side OF the river. the force of levee
workers was doubled at Cairo to-
night. and every foot of the great
levee system is being given heavy in
spection. Nearly 100000 sandbags
were scattered around the levees TO
be in most convenient places in case
they were needed.
The ievees were all reported sub
stantial tonight. The river reached
81 feet at Proctor, with a rising ten
dency. 1t is now one foot and eight
tenths higher than all previous rec
ords.
Gap Thousand Feet Wide.
Hickman, KY. reports tonight that
the break in the government levee
there is now at least IA thousand feet
wide. The water Is pouring through
at very rapid rate. The depth on
best information obtainahie. is about
fifteen feet. One of the best informe ed
men down there says il will take Ave
or six days before the Reelfoot and
Obian basin will be filled.
The lesee AZ HoIiyoush broke at 3
O'Clock this afternoon. and efforts to
save the levee at Hurlburt, Ind, were
abandoned today.

tween Hannibal. Mo-, and Grafton,
Ill. The Missouri will continue rising
for thirty-six hours between Boons-
vile. Mo-. and Hermann, Mo-, but
from Kansas City to Boonsville it will
fall tomorrow.
The river at st. Louis remained sta
tionary today. registering 30.7 feet
on the gauge at; 6s4P. NJ. !. It is sx-
pected to rise to 81 feet and remain
at that point several days.

and with rain threatened during the
next twenty-four hours the outlook ia
