It had -not been Chief of Police Lupton's in tention to r1ace him in the cells but -to allow 1 im to remain in the court voom until he wa3 sufficiently quieted down or sobered up, to go home. However, h suddenly rose from tie chair and cursed the Chief i in the -vilest language. This was too mu.h and Chief L ipton tcld him that he intended placing him in jail.

Memorial Of the -Atonement Wrought By Cbrlsfs Death ; -1 ' - On tha frnaa. : "- Today is Easter Sunday and it will be'; observed, la tluVcityby special services at all the churches including especially arrahge musical programs. Many' of the houses of worship have been decorated with flowers and foliage in .honor of the occasion and wul pre- sent a very impessive scene." .' The .occasion is commemorative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the land Latin words Pascha, Pasch, etc., from the. Chaldean word, Pascha,, the equivalent of the Hebrew word Pesach and that name recalls -the act' of the Detroying Angel in. ' passing over' the households of the Hebrews when he smote the Egyptians. In languages of Gernamic origin the festival has the name, Ostara,, de- rived from goddess the of spring, in Teutonic mythology.- Besides being commemorative ot tne resurrection oi Jesus Christ; the Easter festival is a memorial oi tne nristtan passover oi the atonement wrought by the death At first the Christian passover was celebrated on the same day as the HebreW, . tKe fourteenth day of the month Nisan. But before long in the Church of Rome and,, other churches of the Latin world, the observance was transerred 4o the Suhday next, after the fourteenth Nisan; this doubtless, primarliy, to make the difference be- Uween Judaism and Christianity. . The manner in which Easter is now determined is that of the first Sunday after the paschal full moon (fourteenth dayot the calendar mbon, or the lull moon, moon which happens jipon or next after the 21 of March, If the full mobn happens upon a Sunday taen taster day is tne toiiowing sun day. , " .- . Of late years Easter has also marked another Tepoch in the usual routine of life. In every city, village and hamlet in the United States and its possessions, spring garment's which have been pur- chased during the previous weeks will be brought out, donned and displayed to the admiring: publici This is an incidental feature but one which win proba1lir;liveJorever.
