Stop Playing Tyrant With the Americun Flag Wrapped Hound Our Body. From the Philadelphia City aud State. Wo assume that it is right to have a national conscience. If this is true, such a conscience can only bo formed and made operative by the individual members of the nation expressing their opinions on national affairs. The more , critical and important the affair, the j more necessary is expression of the sober opinion of citizens. The reverse j makes of the American democracy s nothing but an immense chained mob. Once forced into any line of policy, and the man at the helm becomes an auto crat. He. cither actively does what he I wants unimpeded, since criticism of his j acts is impossible, or he gets what he | wants done, or what he is afraid to have stopped, by the drift of destiny. What are American arms doing in the ; Philippines, wherein is being incurred the slaughter of hundreds, possibly thousands of natives, and scores, pnssi- 1 bly hundreds, of bravo, valuable Ameri- 1 can lives? Wo are seeking to effect a conquest j over people who do not belong to us; a conquest as vulgar, as indefensible mor ally in its basis, as those which Na poleon effected on European soil in the early part of the century. We have demanded submission of a people over whom we had such rights as came from a purchase from Spain, their confessed oppressor—that and no more. With insolence and mendacity we cull them ! ''rebels" and shoot them down —men who, as Senator Mason truly says, swore j no allegiance to us, and who, judged in ' any court of ethics known among men, j owe us no allegiance. This is precisely , what we Americans—who revere Lex- j ington and Hunker Ilill. and other bat- I tie-grounds of freedom—are doing in : March, 1899. It is not bullying John ! Hull, or glory-loving Johnny Crapeaud. j or the brutal Russian Bear that is doing j this, but we ourselves. We arc "the | man," and no other. We have to rub our eyes and slap ourselves to be sure ; we are awake and in our senses, so [ totally un-American is this tiling. The Filipinos have right on their side, j and their climate—and every honest man, in his heart of hearts, knows it; ! and wo have wrong on our side, and a love of the main chance—aud we ail know that, too. Men have determina- ; tion —desperation—when they are fight' ing for freedom. Mean, treacherous ! '•rebels" like the Filipinos prefer that even to a beautiful gilded American cage. It is to put them in that cage, and to have them hop up and down gratefully like timid birds, that we arc destroying good American lives; no prin ciple in it, no glory; just the fun of making men who thought they were about to be free crawl—and then that beckoning main chance later on! We may succeed; we may take, shoot, or exilo the "rebel" Aguinaldo; we may hem in and crush his army. Hut this ugly truth will remain pre cisely the same, indestructable whether we succeed or fail: We are playing the tyrant with the beautiful, free American Hag wrapped round our body. This is what history will see, and what we may now see If we cool our heads and look straight at it. President McKinley said, at the Hus ton Homo Market Club dinner, that he left the question in the hands of congress to settle it. Then why not call an extra session of that body, and let it settle il? Why not command our forces to stay withit) their army lines, stopping the conquest programme until congress determines what action the true honor of the country requires? If Gladstone was man enough to hold Great Hrif.au after defeat back from an unjust war with the Hoers, why should not our president at least give congress the chanco to do the right and magnanimous act after repeated victories?

I IT HAS BEEN BURNING FOR A 1 QUARTER OF A CENTURY. Forty Acre, of Anthracite on Fire at Wilkenburre Which HUH Entailed a laOtts on the Delaware and Hudson j Company of $3,000,000. The Wilkesbarre correspondent of 1 the New York Evening Pout had the I following Interesting story from that city in the above paper, recently: Twenty-five years ago, on the Gth of ! January, 1874, there was ignited what j proved to be the biggest and most ex- j pensive mine fire in the coal mining ; history of the world, a fire that has i destroyed forty acres of coal, twenty | feet in thickness on the average, has ' I cost over 83,000,000, and is still burning. It is estimated that it will last another ! j quarter of a century, and may cost some thousands of dollars more before | | it has burned itself out. This remarkable lire, whose proper- | tions and importance few who are not | mining experts realize, is in the No. 2 colliery of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, in the East End district of that city, and is one of the most note worthy features of the mining region of i northeastern Pennsylvania. Despite | its unusual extent it is under the watch | ful care of but two men, one during the : day and the other at night. Two men i have in the last twenty-four years been its sole guardians, yet upon their vigi lance depends many thousand dollars ! worth of property. The Haltimore vein is famous through j out the anthracite region as being the , J most valuable coal in northeastern Pennsylvania, for it is free from slate! | or rock, and averages from sixteen to i j twenty-four feet in thickness. There 1 1 are bigger veins, notably the the Mum- j moth of the Lehigh region, which | ' reaches a thickness of forty feet, but | | the coal from none of them sells for so j I high a price. When the Delaware and Hudson Com- ! pany "tapped" this vein in the early ' seventies the officials looked forward to | a rich harvest, for it was easy of ac- j ! cess and was readily mined. It was reached by an interior slope, starting ! near the foot of the No 2 shaft, and j the cars were hoisted up by this slope ' by engines placed at the foot of it, the • steam being generated in boilers close ! !to the engines. This was the custom , : in the early seventies, and it was nut j j changed until the disaster at No. 2 j ! demonstrated the danger. Nowadays | the steam is carried to the interior en- j , gines through bore holes from tiie sur- [ j face. The vein had been worked but a com- i paratively short time when, on January I | fi, 1 874, the working in the vicinity of | I the engines caved in, the boilers were j j demolished by the mass of coal and rock falling on them, and the boiler fires j ignited the coal. Thus in a moment ! occurred the disaster which has cost 1 enough money to buy several mines, i | Gangs of men working in short shifts 1 ; cleared up the fallen rock and slate as : quickly as possible, but when the boilers | 1 were reached the lire had eaten well in- j I to the big vein and was spreading rapid- , 'y j The difficulty of fighting a big mine : lire is great. The intense heat, thecon ! find space, the suffocating gases, all make it well-nigh impossible to get within striking distance of it by ordin- | ary means. Hut a miner can endure j much, and for weeks a gang of 300 ! j stout-hearted and strong-limbed men wagged a ceasolesss battle with this lire. 1 1 Each could labor but a few moments before being overcome, and a constant ! stream of workmen were advancing on the "face" of the lire, and being carried !, back again to revive, where the air was j comparatively pure and the heat less intense. Hut the fire gained steadily and soon the plan of fighting it wus i changed. Water had no appreciable effect upon it, and the next course pursued was that which was called "suffocating it." Fire must have air. So all the openings and channels, by which air could reach the blaze, were hermetically sealed with andsof tons of clay. This work, though immense walls of masonry, and thous pushed with the utmost vigor and the largest available force, was also a failure, for, after months of waiting for the fire to be suffocated, the air tight compartments were tapped and the lire was found to be of greater extent and fiercer than before. The work of the first month alone ! cost the company 8100,000, and in the following months more hundreds of thou sands had been spent* in unsuccessful efforts. Then, every method known to the American mining engineer having failed, the company engaged Robert Brown, an English mine lire export. Still the lire raged, until, at last, after ; years of work, the effort to subdue it was abandoned. The officials, anxious to save as much ' 1 as possible, cut off the burning work ings, making them practically an island 1 of fire in an oasis of coal, for there are other rich veins in close proximity to 1 the Haltimore. Had the fire boon to- ' tally neglected, It would, in time, have spread to these other veins. A great 1 gangway was built around the mass of j coal the experts considered beyond sav- ]' 1 ing, enclosing forty acres of the richest! anthracite in the world, which was left j slowly to hum itself out. Some idea of the extent of forty acres : of coal can bo obtained from the fact | that the fire haa been burning steadily ' for twenty'-five years, and It is estimated j that it will last, for another quarter of a ' century. TUr value of this mass of con I i 1 is placed at §1,500,000, and the cost of' j fighting it and caring for it has amount ed to the same sum. | The work of watching this great fire |is interesting. As soon as the big j gangway circulating the fire was put j through, water pipes were placed along I its entire course, and every hour in j all the years that have intervened a ; strong force of water is kept in them. |At convenient distances are taps. All i this is made necessary by another fea | ture of the fire. As the coal burns away it fulls in smothering ashes, un til the roof of rock that confines it is j visible twenty feet overhead. As soon I as there is a fall of several feet, expos ing the roof, one of the watchmen, whose duty it is to tramp unceasing , around the circuit of the lire, watching for just such a thing, taps the water pipe, and plays water upon it until the great smouldering mass is cold. I Then gangs of men are sent in to set up massive timbers. These big props, | some of them twenty inches in diam ; eter, support the roof, in place of the j coal, which lias been burned away, j The surface of the ground over this big fire is populated; there are several houses on it, and much valuable prop erty. If the roof was allowed to re main unsupported, as the coal burns upwards it would cave in, with possible loss of life. This is what the company lias to guard against constantly, for not only would the surface be affected, but there is every possibility that the "drag" in the cave-in would affect other portions of the mine. AN ENDLESS CHAIN. A Business Man Tangled Up With a Gen eral Utility Citl/.en. "I suppose we till get caught at ; times," remarked a well-known' busi | ness fnan, "but I have had an ex perience that was particularly morti fying to one wlio has been in business I for forty years. i *1 received, some time ago, a letter from a party living in a little town in the west, who wanted a small bill of j goods. | "Not finding his mime in either Dun's or Bradstreet's, I wrote the postmaster for the man's standing. I received a very flattering letter in return, saying that the party 1 inquired about was ! one of the town's solid citizens and good for any amount. 1 "This allayed any suspicion that I had, and I forwarded the goods j ordered. "I sent three bills before I received an answer, and then it was not satis ! factory. I allowed the matter to run lor some time, aud, at last, getting a saucy answer in reply to a letter of mine asking for a settlement. I lost my | temper aiul wrote the postmaster a | letter, telling him to hand the matter over to the leading attorney in town . for collection, no matter what the cost I would be. j "It wasn't long before I received an answer from the postmaster saying lie had followed my instructions and handed the matter to an attorney, who I liad succeeded in collecting the am ount, but at a considerable expense. In fact, the attorney had a bill against me for .$2") more than lie had collected, and that he (the postmaster) had paid lit and would look to me for the | amount.. j "Here was a situation. I hadn't | instructed the postmaster to act as my I cashier, but thinking that was the | western way of it, and not caring to ! have the fool postmaster lose the amount, 1 sent him a check, aud con sidered the matter closed. "But the other day 1 chanced to meet a party who formerly lived in that j town, and I asked him if he knew the | party who had beaten me out of a bill of goods. lie said he did. He was a general utility man for the whole neighborhood. Kan a general store, ' kept the post office, and, when he could get nothing else to do, took what business ue com . get as a lawyer. He added that he appeared to be making money, but it was a mystery to every one how he managed it. i "But it was no mystery to me. 1 had seen a great ligh . He has an end less chain arrangement that will make him a fortune if some one doesn't get j mud and go out there and kill him." THE LITTLE ENCYCLOPEDIA. There are 4,500 women printers in England. Americans pay $8,000,000 a year for looking glasses. The Chinese have a special god for every disease. World's annual coffee production is 1,000,000,000 pounds. There are 600,00u people employed in Italy in rearing silkworms. The number of medical periodicals published in the United States is 275. ; Among the 780,000 persons employed in Russia's factories about 200,000 are women. London enjoys a greater area of open spaces than any other capital in the world. No fewer than 2,401 patents have been taken out on processes for making sugar and salt,. The University of Oxford has type j and appliances for printing in 150 dif ferent languages. It is said that the peasant of the i south of France spends on food for a family of five an average of 2 pence a day. Thirty years ago there were only two dozen explosive compounds known to chemists; now thefe are over 1,000. It is computed that at the present time the diamonds bought for Ameri can beauties living in the United States arc worth no less than $5,000,000.

I Technically, it means the anniversary commemorative of the resurrection j Really, it is an annual reminder t I mankind of all the term religion im | plies, and of lie d ties that really de j volve upon every p rson. i The resurrection is the ostensible to- I pic of the majority of sermons prca.h ed on Easter Sundry, but it is not only that which is meant. The deep religi ous significance of the occasion is illus trated iu lite most attractive and beautiful form iu the churches, as a lesson to lite eye and through that to the heart, (ireatest of till, however, are the joyful features of Easter, the upsprlnging of hope and the miracle ot returning life. All these inspire a condi tion of joy and happinos in the lives of .voting and old and the most insensi ble object becomes a part of lite carni val of joy. In a word. Easter is a con tinual pledge to mankind that life is eternal. It was not until the fifth or sixthcen tury tiiat Easter was kept its a festival The first day of each week was kept ■ holy by the apostles themselves iu honor of Christ's resurrection, ami with this weekly observance there came the ; great annual commemoration. In ] early days there was much diversity as to the date of keeping the festival, j Some persons observed it annually on ! the same day of the year. Others ob served lite fourteen'lt day of the first lttoon in the new year, regardless of what that day might lie. Still others celebrated the first Sunday after the first full moon . and these persons dif • feted widely as to exactly what fun day that was. Nothing was definitely settled in the way of a universal agreement until the question was taken up by the council of Nice. That body settled lite date as the first Sunday following the 14th day of the calendar moon which happened upon or next after the "Ist of March, so that If this 14th day he a Sunday, Easter was not to be on tiiat date, but on the next following Sunday. Easter, therefore, may lie any date within five Weeks. Inclusive of March 22 and April 25th. It cannot happen earlier or later than these two days. In 1883 Easter occurred March 25th and again on the same date in 18114. Itwnsafterkeeplng the passoverwith 11 is disciples that Christ's crucifix ion took place, yet the Christian Easter and the Jewish I'i ssovcr seldom fall on the same day. The last time they did so was in 1825. on the 3d of April, and they will concur again in 1!)08, on the 12th of April. Easter is, therefore, called a movable festival and on its date depends the time of keeping Lent, being forty days before, and also the ascension, forty days attar Easter. He sides this. Easter fixes the date of the feast of I'entecost with the remaining special Sundays that go to make up the church year. German mythology pictures Ostara as lite goddess of Easter and makes her -t most attractive personage. This goddess, says the mythologist, lias given her name to one of tlie greatest events in the Christian era. The name is a form of the modern German "Os orn." and of the English "Easter." The early church found it wise to adapt to Christian purposes many In stitutions and customs of a pagan na ture, which had become established in the affections of tie people. So the observance which in heathen times | honored the advent of Ostara, the god dess of spring, sur ived, to a certain i extent, 111 the Christian celebration of the resurrection. Apart from the religious services, I those observances w itli which the ; heathen people honored Ostara still linger iu their primitive form in many parts of Germany and possibly of Eng ' land. In New York and other centers | of Anglo-Saxon civilization, they have j assumed a more complex character. German mythology always said that the German rustic feasting at Easter time represents the ancient sacrifice of the goddess. Sacrifice is also or dered by the urban American in these days, in the form of tine raiment and a bonnet. . Ostaru is represented In mythologi cal art as a dazzling creature, clad with simplicity but exceeding beauty. She Is surrounded by winged babies] birds, flowers, rabbits and other tilings emblematical of Easter and the springtime. The sun. mythology lias it, used to leap with joy three times when Ostara appeared on Easter da v. Easter eggs are supposed to he laid l!y no common hens. The goddess Ostara j was especlaly favorable to liens, I which are usually to be seen in her pictures, surrounded by many eggs. Easter eggs should he red. because ! red was the favorite color of tla tliun j der god, and the first thunder stonu of spring was sacred to Ostara. J The custom of coloring Easter eggs | is as old as the use of the egg as a | symbol. Long ago the tender blades ! of wheat, which at the Easter season had just peeped above the earth's sur face, were used for coloring. A liand j ful of the wheat blades thrown into a pot with the eggs turned the color of the shells to a dark green. Soon after | colors were obtained from mulberry J leaves and the Persians used their J dyes with great effect. The people [ then learned to write upon the boiled i eggs with a greased stick. This latter custom is still observed by the Indian papulation of the United States. DR.

Protty Fingers Thi Keys That Cause Them to lllng Out. Just a narrow little instrument, look | lug lor all the world like the half of an old-fashioned melodeon. It Is in a tiny i qucerly shaped room—almost a closet, j i in fact—tlie entrance to which is a ' small door at the right of the great j I portals of Grace Church, New York. \ j At the keyboard sat a young and i p.etty woman. Quickly and deftly her > d< ft tiugers pressed the keys. An in- j stunt after came the distant sound of melodious chimes from the belfry far i away. The girl played lightly, care- I lessly, It seemed, upon a noiseless organ which nevertheless set in motion ami harmonious ringing the great bells overhead. No force was exerted other than the organist always uses in play ing. The performer sat comfortably iu her little room, j The bells pealed out a cheerful invl : tat ion to tlie passer- jy. It was a 1 familiar tune—an old hymn which J most of the busy throng had learned in childhood. Men half paused, looked up and re membered tiiat a Lenten service was ! about to begin. A few turned their j steps toward tlie church and silently j passed in. Busy women, their arms tilled with parcels, stopped their spring i shopping for a few moments and en- j tered the quiet, restful sanctuary. Still the bells rang entreatiugly. The girl kept her eyes fastened on a clock. I At a certain minute the chimes ceased, ; and the slow, warning tolling of the bells was heard. The player was pres- J sing one note over and over again and i at regular intervals. Finally that, too, ceased, the roll of | the great organ overhead was heard I I and the service had begun, j Miss Bertha Thomas has been the j I assistant organist and player of the j | chimes in Grace Church for a number | | of years. I Miss Thomas is a New York girl of | German parentage, and is in every es i sential a finished musician. Nearly all ! her time Is devoted to her work in Grace Church, although she manages | to give a few lessons during spare mo : meats on the organ and piano. I Miss Thomas has exclusive control iof the chimes. She looked a modern | St. Cecelia as she sat in the dimly : lighted chime-room, her lingers on the I keys and her hair forming a golden halo about her head. "The s(i£nd of my chimes," said Miss Thomas, "has gone all over the world. Mr. Ldwin Clarence came here one day and received the music of the bells lii his phonograph. 1 believe that he has taken it all over, and that Grace Church chimes have been listened to and admired in England, Japan and Australia." Miss Thomas evidently loves her bells. During the Lenten season there are so many services that the chimes are rung a number of times during the day, and Miss Thomas is constant ly found at her post. "You see," said the young musician , ns she prepared to play the chimes again, "you can hoar the bells per- 1 feotly well here. There is a tube run | niug from the belfry to this room. At ; the end of this funnel or tube, you see, j there Is a diaphragm, to which are at- j I taelied rubber receiving tubes such as ! are used on phonographs. By placing ; these in the ears you will notice that | the sound is intense. One might al most be in the belfry itself. I never use that apparatus unless at a wedding i for instance, when the chimes must j peal out at the same time that the I organ is playing overhead. When the I ] organ is sounding the music of the | bells is confused, and I use the tele- i I phone attachement. ! "I want you to notice a great advan -1 tage of this electrical arrangement," ! continued Miss Thomas. I "One of tln chief faults of ordinary : chime music has been the discordance j due to the resonance of the bells; but you will observe that I can regulate that difficulty by the use of these danipeners. which, you see, I manage I with my feet. I "If a long uote at the end of a tunc. for example, is desired, 1 simply hold J the key a little longer and take the Jampenet* off. The clapper is then held next to the bell and the resonance is j prolonged. I "It is quite possible, you know, to not only play a tune with the chimes, 1 but to play it with expression." Miss Thomas went on to say that In time she supposed tlie electric "ttach ] nieiit could be made from bells it any distance. A FEW BRIGHT SAYINGS. Loneliness is the greatest foe a wo man has to fight. Every field of labor seems more fer tile than our own. I The hardest thing in the world is to endeavor to be brilliant to order. The fragrance of fresh flowers is the nearest thing in nature to a caress. | The very thing that we wish to see most in the newspapers is the item we are apt to overlook. The person most suspicious regarding J another's actions is generally the one most in need of watching. The longest day is generally the one when you get ready in the morning for something that doesn't occur until night. It isn't always the girl who wears the I biggest hunch of roses a.nd violets to the game who knows the most about football. There may be some people so im- i bued with anglomania that they can see something beautiful in a fog, but their name is not legion. The fragrance of a flower or a long forgotten strain of music has the power to paint a mental picture for us that we thought had faded into oblivion. Enfttnr Morning. When happy brooks are running races I Down from hills with laugh and leap,' IV lie are these lit wpodlniiil places That up from moss and dead leaves creep?
