PEACE REIGNSI.

CHARLESTON, Aug. 1s.-Yester.
terday was the first Sunday for long
time that meetings Of the miners
were not held in the strike section.
The miners 1t appears understood the
proclamation OF Governor Glasscock
to mean that they could not hold such
meetings in the strike zone without
violating the provisions OF the procla.
nation prohibiting assemblage OF per
sons for rlotous purposes. AS far as
the military authorities have been
able to investigate the governors
proclamation issued commanding all
persons TO lay aside their arms, has
been obeyed with. Here and there a
person who failed to act promptly
and he was relieved Of his weapon
by the mIlItiamen.
Governor Glasscock ordered foui
companies to return home, reducing
the number in the strike district tc
ten companies. Those to return are
the Ctarksburg, Spencer. Fayetteville
and Company G.. OF Huntington. Thu

his city? Sentim?ntalists at least
will undoubtedly answer promptly in
the negative, and in this case they
have good deal on their side OF the
argument. To help criminal who
wants to reform Is the bounden duty
of society. AS Bernard Shaw says, to
shake n mans confidence In himself
iH devilishly easy and a devllish
thing to do. When that self.confdence
l.. as hard earned as In Burke's case,
it is doubly devilisI.
The chances are thousand to one
that at this juncture Burke will slop
back II he Is not helped; and that II
he is helped he will live up to and go
beyond the record OF an honest. use.
full citizen on which he was elected to
the council.
A good deal more than the mere
question Of Burke's rehabilitation
hangs In the balance. His case Is be.
ing given wide publicity. and his out.
come will be noted by countless mel
and women who are trying TO outlive
and make others forget their past.
Philadelphia has a rare chance to
demonstrate that Once society's en-.
envy, always society's victim" Is a
fulse proverb.

Good Husband.

Mrs. Mary Brennan. mother.lnlaw
OF William Burke, declared today that
Burke was good son,ln,law. She
said he was kind TO his wife and
stcp-chiid, was a gentleman and that
he became councilman because the
men In his district would not have Il
any other way. The Brennans say
they knew nothing about his criminal
career and did not know that the sto
ry of his life was to be made public.
Burke married a widowed daughter
of Mrs. Brennan about four ycart
ago. 1t was said at the Brennan
home that Burke went away saying
he was EoiHug to find a position and
that they had no word from him
since.

The message of Easter is identical with the
truth that each Lords day proclaims to men
the resurrection of Jesus Christ The central
thought OF the apostles ministry was the
resurrection OF their Lord and Saviour II has
been the dominant theme OF every gospel mes
sage. The risen Chrlst's first communication
was sent to his discouraged disciples that they
might rejoice because he was risen from the
dead
Does Easter find you discouraged Have
you made bad investment Of your life and
labor? Are you disturbed as to the future?
Has death terror for you? Then let us rejoice.
for Christ has won victory for us. Let us
give thanks because he is risen. His Tesurrec
tion contains the promise Of our endless lie.
It is also prophetic Of the Christians resurrec-
ton when Jesus shall come again. The hopes
Of eternal life should inspire us with dynamic
force by which We can through the presence
and power OF our risen Lord. rise above the
difficulties, discouragements and defeats OF this
present age. His resurrection has solved our
problem, removed sin and burdens that have
filled us with despair and turned our apparent
defeats into one glorious triumph. The gospel
of the resurrection proclotms Victory OF re-
generation over degeneration. o; construction
over reformation, OF HE over death, that
Christ has secured for every creature that Will
believe on him as their risen Saviour.
To the disciple that denied him early on
Easter morn Christ sent message that re-
called Peter to his service Have you been
following Christ afar off? Has your life been
marred by sin? Have you denied your Lord?
n So Easter has a message for you Repent,
return to your Lord and then you will rejoice
that he is risen and he will restore unto yoi
the Joy Of your salvation.

Easter but her pride in her new nnery can
usually be relied upon to help her combat the
icy winds
A movement was started some years ago to
induce the women OF the United States to unite
In robbing Easter Sunday OF It's significance as
a field day" for the new fashions According
to the new mandate II was not to be consid
cred good form" for n woman to appear on
Easter Respondent In fresh additions to her
wardrobe. She might display her new treas
ures-for, OF what use would nice clothes be
to a woman II she could not show them-on
the Sunday preceding Easter or on the Sunday
following Easter or at any other time but the
custom was to be decried OF turning Easter in
to a grand review Tor marshaling the newest
products Of the dressmakers, the bootmakers
and the miiliners
The new plan all very well in theory
but the persons who suggested it evidently did
not figure on the persstency with which the
daughters OF the republic can cling to cher
ished prerogatve. The American women sim
ply declined to abandon their Easter fashion
parade and consequently the seasons surprises
in new raiment continue to be as indispensable
adjuncts to a regulation Easter observance as
are the Easter lilies and the Easter eggs. The
credit for the preservation OF the traditions OF
the Easter fashion parade is given to the
women because It ia the members OF the fair
are the most numerous and most enthusiastic
supporters of the junction. At the same time
Ii would be idle to insinuate that many OF the
opposite sex have not succumbed TO the iniu
ence OF the Easter dress parade. Among the
male contingent there is brave representa-
ton of spring oyerCoats and spring Guts that
make their appearance for the first time but
the one pre.cminent touch which procaims the
occasion is the array OF new collars and ties
Some men there may be, who, because or
prejudice or pockcthook will not indulge them
selves I'm the new ConCeits OF the taors on
Easter, but there are none who need forego
the indispensable OF a novelty In neCkwcar.
As has been said fashions parade on Easter
marches up and down the entire land. There
are some famous Easter fashion parades in the
United States, notably the one on Fifth ave
nue., New York. and the one on the boardwalk
at Atlantic City. but there is scarce city or
town or village from Maine TO California or
from Michigan to Texas that does not enjoy It's
own Easter panorama particularly II the com
munity is not so small that there are no church
services to act as an incentive to draw forth
the birds OF plumage. And Just here II may
be noted in wonder. that such is the perfection
of our modern system of fashion distribution
that the Easter parade in the most remote
town affords proof that her feminine residents
are little behind New York and even Paris In
the main essentials OF the new styles"
While on this phase OF the subject it may
be remarked that very few OF the fashionable
paraders in the Easter throngs realize how far
reaching have been the preparations for this
