Robbed OF $3.50 And
Fined $500 For
Revolver

NEWARK, N. j., March IL.
While two highwaymen were
rifling the pockets of Andrew
Ryk, restaurant proprietor, un-
der a railroad bridge in Miller
street early yesterday, woman
who saw the hold-up screamed
and frightened the robbers
away.
The scream was more expen-
sive than the hold-up. The
bandits got $3.50, but ran off
before they removed Ryk's re-
volver, and when police arrived
and found he had no permit
for the weapon they locked him
up and he was fined $500.
Ryk explained that he car
ried the revolver to protect the
nights cash receipts. He was
too frightened to use it, how
ever, when the men leaped at

merry imaginable to heather religion.
but as the centuries passed and the
Christians came, it became a purely
religious festival. The meaning of
the rites were lost, but the people OBJ
served them just the same. Surely
none of US feel that we are performing
a heather rite when we give Easter
eggs to our friends.
In the early days of the Christian re-
ligion no festivals were observed, not
even Easter. '"The whole of time is a
festival unto Christians because of the
excellency of the good things which
have been given" explained st. Chry-
session.
Gradually, however, Easter became
the biggest festival in the calendar Of
the church. Everyone who professed
the religion of Christ was supposed to
take communion on that day. If he re-
fused his name was to be excommuni-
Gated and at death his body to be
denied Christian burial.
How Date Was Fixed.
The dispute over the true time to
hold Easter was one of the quarrels
that shook the early Christian world.
Those who had been Jewish wanted to
celebrate 1t on the 14th of the old Jew
ish month Of Nisank-the beginning of
the Jewish festival Of the passover.
Those who had been Gentiles said that

chal lamb Of the Hebrews became the
lamb Of Christ. The casting Of an
effigy of winter into a fire that repre-
scented spring was changed into sym
bolism of Judas and the fires Of hell.
The lighting of the Easter fires on
the sacred mountains was said to cor
respond to the pillar of fire that led the
Hebrews out Of the wilderness into the
Promised Land.
Played Ball in Streets.
Many of the customs or Observ-
ances one time, had had religious
meaning, but by the Middle ages this
symbolism had been partly forgotten.
They merely represented the spirit and
joviality Of the day. So there was the
custom Of playing ball in the streets.
The ball represented the sun, which
was popularity supposed to give three
hops when rising Easter morning. This
sport was engaged in by everyone, even
by the priests, bishops, monks and
mayors and corporations of cities.
Another popular custom that grew
out of the egg symbol for Easter was
egg chipping and egg rolling. Both Of
these games were to test the thickness
Of the shells. We still have survival
of this custom in the egg-rolling con-
test held annually for children on the
White House grounds.
The word Easter itself means April
and is the name Of the Anglo-Saxon
Goddess Of Spring. AT first 1t was

Easter Splendid
Festival i'm the
Early Centuries

Easter Sunday! What picture the
words suggest! A beautiful, sunny
day, church-going and the display Of
in the afternoon. A day much like any
other Sunday, for in these prosaic
times Easter is not the brilliant, joyous
festival it once was.
Suppose we were to turn back the
pages Of history to the Middle ages.
What a festival Easter was in those
days! The old pagan Anglo-Saxon
festival of Easter was not merely re-
membrance and its strange mummery
not forgotten. Everything was light
hearted and colorful and vibrant. Even
those who had to wear the long faces
during the rest of the year forgot their
seriousness to play and dance and per-
form strange tricks upon one another
In the streets.
The priests, along with the laymen,
imbibed the spirit of Easter and
laughed and played with the care-free
spirit of scho0lboys. Instead of preach
ing serious sermons or exhorting the
people to consider the wickedness of
their ways, they told humorous stories
Of how the devil tried to keep the
Spirit Of Christ from ascending out of
hell into Heaven. Their stories were
very droll and made the people laugh
exceedingly. Imagine minister these
days getting up before his congregation
and telling funny stories Easter morn
Ing!
The people. were very happy and
greeted one another cheerfully upon
the streets. Christ is risen," they
would say. Yea, Christ is truly risen,"
would come the answer. Then the
mummery and the leaping and caper-
ing and trick playing upon the streets !!
The modern French festival of the
Lenten season, with its joyous abandon,
more accurately resembles the Easter
festivals Of the Middle ages.
Tho Pascal Candle.
The great sight of the day was the
Pascal candle burned in the principal
church or cathedral in the city. How
the people rushed and thronged
through the streets to see it Often
times the candles were huge affairs,
rising as high as rs feet in the air and
weighing as much as rs pounds. What
was left of the candle at Whitsunday
was made into candles for the poor

thought that was in the minds Of every
one. Then, after the impressive chant

Easter should be observed on the fol-
lowing Sunday.
For years this dispute waxed warm
~, until it was finally settled by the
great church council held at Nicea in
325. It was decreed that Easter should
come on a Sunday and that the date
should be the first Sunday following
the full moon after the vernal equinox

then famed for it's skill In astronomical
affairs, was given the duty Of fixing
the date.
It was pagan custom to regard the
egg and the rabbit as symbols Of pro.
creativeness. This is about the only
Easter observance that has survived to
modern times. Our custom of filling
our homes with lilies and early flowers
seems to be custom of recent origin.
Dozens Of Easter observances, no
less picturesque, have been forgotten
or overwhelmed in the seriousness OF
these latter days. So on Easter Mon
day husbands struck their wives, but
on Tuesday the wives struck back. In
Germany the men and maid servants
observed the same custom, but used
switches in doing so. 1t was, also, the
custom for parents and children to try
and surprise each other in bed early
Easter morning. The tardy one would
receive a rough switching to remind
him or her Of remissness.
Much Liberty Permitted.
In every way Easter day was a day
Of special privilege. In Russia every
one who wished was allowed to go into
the churches and ring the bells as long
as he desired. Thousands of people
availed themselves Of this opportunity.
In England the men ran joyfully about
the streets lifting the women from the
ground three times. The one so favored
had to give the male either silver
sixpence or a good hearty kiss. This
custom was observed in some parts OF
the country almost down to the present
day. In Puy in France, from time i'm

him with water. If the canon was
found asleep he was obliged to furnish
his fellows with breakfast.
Easter Day Varied.
In ancient times Easter day fell on
different dates in different climates, so
cycles of years with dates fixed had to
be drawn up. There was a dispute
over the correctness of the cycles, and
there was great confusion. Finally,
however, Easter date was based on the
Gergorian correction of the calendar,
but that threw the Eastern church out
Of line. Consequently Easter has only
once been celebrated universally by all
| Christians. This was in 1865, when
all the reckonings fell on the same
day.
One Of the pious observances of the
Middle ages that marked the closing OF
Lent and the opening Of Easter time
was the blessing Of the foods which
had been denied so long. Many were
the tales Of the eager ones who were
struck down for eating Of them before
they had been blessed.

Lord Curzon Sees No Trouble
Over Booze Seizures on
Liners at New York.

By UntteG Press
LONDON, June 29.-The British
American dispute over enforcement
OF prohibition on the seas has been
thrown into the field Of open
diplomacy after extensive secret
negotiations.
Lord Curzon, secretary OF State for
foreign AFFAIRS, announced in the
House of Lords that friendly dis
cussion" with the United States over
this question had been ia progress
for about year.
Curzon, in response to an interroga-
ton, stated "there Is no chance Of our
agreeing. under any circumstances
whatever, to the American proposal
for a twelve-mile limit to replace the
three mile limit"
America asked for this extension
of the zone Of territorial waters in
order to give more latitude for the
chasing of rum ships.
Curzon said a committee, consider
ing the question raised by seizure of
liquor aboard British liners at New
cYrk. He indicated belief that the
American action in boarding foreign
ships and conf1scating liquor was not
a violation Of international law, but
constituted an infraction Of the code
Of inteEnational practice or custom.
Undue Importance should not be
attached to the breaking Of British
seals by American officials in order
to get at the liquor, he said, since
these seals have no standing outside
British territorial waters.
