('. Americans to Pass Easter CHAMBERS, Anonymity, not vainglory, wan and is" a fundamental principle of the Moham medan creed. At the tombs of thj va tJer you wl seek in! fie t6lngle has re. llevo or statue to identify the resting Places of the mighty conquerors and rulers of the Egyptian world- InUhlS irace the Buddhistic in fiuence-a preference for earthly, as well as eternal, oblivion. In the tomb' of the last Khedive will be found a solitary custodian, seated upon a green rug.

mumbling the Koran and keeping alight a single lamp; but even that small reverence ends as soon as the next Khedive is buried. Silence and forgetfulness of the dcarl is the Mohammedan thought! American travelers, if well advised, w.ll avoid Jerusalem on Easter Sunday. Rome is a much better place in which to pass Holy Week. One who never has been in the East fails ta realize to what uncleanly conditions pilgrims can The only place known to me that rivals Jerusalem on a holy dav is Lourdes, in southwestern France, where about 100,000 pilgrims go every year. Many of them walk and beg.

their from distant parts of Europe, especial-' ly Austria, not having a change of clothing during the weeks or months in which they are on their long journeys. It Is not difficult to imagine the unpleasantness of necessarily close association with such holy men. But a majority o( Europeans are cleanly in person. compared with the Armenian and South of Russia upholders of Christianity. As Kipling says, "East is East," and that conditions of 'several thousand of the) good people crowding and jostling for vantage points in the immense throng before the doors of the Church ot the Nativity and of the Holy Sepulchre) this resplendent morning is Indescribable to Americans.

Whatever may be said about the Mo hammedan, one must admit he is always clean. He attends to his body mucU more strictly than to the cleansing of his mind! Never passes a day wlthouS five ablutions. I have been told by Englishmen, who have made caravan trips across the Lyblgn desert, thai! their camel drivers would suffer pangs of Intolerable thirst by using thel? scanty daily supply, of water for thelp ablutions. A Christian never Would do) this. I had a French-Canadian gulda for a five weeks journey through thai wilderness of the Northwest, and ha never took a bath during the- entire time, although river and lakes were our travel routes.

In religious matters he was very devout and went over his beads regularly. He Insisted that the only way to keep clean, in the forest was not to wash, and could not understand why I would wa(le Into the cold stream or lake) every morning. Ho pronounced my con duct absurd. Ho would pick the wood-ticks from my back, while he discouraged bathing. He did all the cooking for myself and carriers, but I could not Impress him with the necessity of wash- ing his hands.

He ought to have lived in Asia Minor; I am sure he would have) been a typical pilgrim to Jerusalem. Mecca Is a filthy city only because thai Arab never had any ideas of sanitation. Individually, he Is cleanly. The Span lards are like him in that respect showing the Influence of 700 years of Arab) domination on the Iberian peninsula, Every American who visited Havana un der Spanish rule and has returned since! American engineers and physicians cleaned it, will comprehend exactly whafl I mean. Havana is a better Christian city.

The for American Christians to celebrate thU holy day is at home, eurc rounded by relatives and neighbors. The) wandering wing does not conduce to sober serious thoughtfulness. Life is exactly what each individual man and woman makes of it. Easter 13 the day of awakening; In every household there should be an Introspection. Travel will enlighten; often will guide! and warn.

But home Is the place for true happiness, if It can be made such; it It be not found there, something is! radically wrong with the two organizers of the scheme and they would best employ this sacred occasion In seeking the) cause ot their discontent. dolph, Mr. and Mrs. C. T.

ALGER AND D0HAN TO MEET IN RING AGAIN- Georee Aleer of Boston Is training faithfully for the return fight with John ny Dohan, which takes place next 'luei-dav night at the Clermont Avenue Rink, Brooklyn, before the Royale A. C. Al ger Is already down to the requirea weieht and will enter the ring weighing about 140 pounds. The men have agreed to weigh in at 138 pounds at clocK, at which weight they fought ten fierce rounds a week ago with honors even all the close.

Alger's manager is authority for tho) statement that the Bostonian can maka 135 pounds, and if he succeeds in defeat ing Dohan decisively Intends to have Al ger seek recognition from K. O. Brown, Young Erne, Leach Cross, or Tommy! Murphy. Alger gave Battling Nelson the) toughest argument he ever had In a) twelve round fight at Augusta, during which the Battler was the receiver of enough hard blows to send any ordinary, mortal Into oblivion. Louis In England, has invented a process for the artificial' production of wood from straw or dried grass.

It is proposed to use the wood only in that manufacture of matches, for which purpose It is said to be cheaper than natural wood. The straw is passed through crushing rolls and then through cylindrical cutters, which divide it into strips. Afterward, supplied with adhesive, the strips, inclosed on top and bottom witli lavers of paper, are paa3ed between other rolls, and through linked moulds in to form of a chain, where they subjected to pressure and heat, from which t-jey issue in the form of round splints. vaUh are then rut. into the proper lcii'jta lf passed and all restrictions are removed from the amateur actors, big things are expected of them during the few remaining -weeks of the Beason.

Although very few performances have been staged during the last seven weeks, the followers of the amateur stage have not been Idle- by any means. The prompt book, has been thumbed over Innumerable times and the coaches have been particularly busy preparing their charges for a final stand In the limelight before the curtain rings down on this winter pastime. The annual high school plays have long since been selected and the Oasts have been rehearsing earnestly for some weeks past. The combined dramatic societies of Boys. High School and Girls High School are busy learning the finer points of the dramatic art under the tutelage of Miss Almeda Sprague, the O.

H. S. teacher of elocution. "The Btrange Adventures of MIbs Brown." an English comedy, will furnish ample op portunity for a display of dramatic ability. As a special feature In the minstrel entertainment to be presented by the young men of St.

Stanislaus Church on Tuesday, April 16, Timothy F. O'Keefe, a student of St. Francis College and a ell-known figure In church and dramatic circles, will render solos between the other numbers. This young song artist has a clear, pleasing baritone voice, which always commands attention wher ever he appears, and a treat will be in store for those who are present at Prospect Hall on the evening of the entertainment. Mr.

O'Keefe is a protege of Madam Farrell, the opera singer, and has appeared at several functions where she took up the task of furnishing entertain ment. Besides this, he has performed from male to time at Knights of Columbus af- iWIrs and has occupied a place on the programme at all St. Francis College entertainments and commencements for Timothy F.

those of his friendB who were within range of his voice. The Crescent Dramatic Company, recently reorganized by John It. Ullrich, will be composed of capable players, with exceptional experience In dramatic art. Many of the members have been seen in Brooklyn entertainments, and In uniting they mean to present the best plays pos-rlble. It Is the ambition of the members to make this organization one of the largest of Its kind.

The society's plays will be under the direction of a coach who Is well known in both professional and amateur theatricals. The Crescent's business address is 943 Wllloughby avenue. The Clarendon Dramatic Society will present Dion Bouclcault's famous Southern play, "The Octoroon," on Monday evening, April 22, at the Palm Garden, Hamburg and Greene avenues. Depicting the lite and habits of our Southern cousins In that period just preceding the Civil War, this play arouses Interest whenever produced. The pathetic and tragic role of Zoe, "The Octoroon" will be played by Miss Lucretla Klingler.

The heir to the ruins of the Southern estate of Terrebonne, George Peyton, falls to the lot of Edward Dienst. The philosophical and honest Yankee overseer, Salem Seudder, will be capably handled by Leo Gabel. The scheming and unprincipled overseer, Jacob McClosUey, has been carefully studied by Henry Klingler. Miss Augusta Schwarze will have the pretty part of Dora Sunnyside, a Southern belle. Wahno-tee, the Indian, one of the most striking and dramatio parts ever written In a play, a part that uses no word, but depends' entirely upon Its dramatic action, will be taken care of by Roman Scholl.

Wah-liotee's companion, Paul, a yalier boy. Who's Who on the Albert D. Lyons. Albert D. Lyons Is again to resume his old role of "leading lady" in the Cathedral Club's dramatic production this year.

He is to have the feminine lead of Helen Ormsbee in "Going Some," which is to be produced at the Montauk Theater by the club this coming spring. Mr. Lyons has taken prominent parts in the club's shows In the past when they produced "My Friend From India," "College Widow," "County Chairman" and 'The Boys of Company He has also played with the Visitation Alumnae in "Two Fools There Were." and is also a member of the "Booth Dramatic Society." Miss Agnes V. Burke Is another of the premier nmateur actresses whoso popularity in this borough has been brought about by her untiring efforts in the first points of the dramatic art. Those who have witnessed Miss Burke's characterization while in the casts of the St.

In St. Peter's, the tomb of that saint is shown, and a short drive into the subr urbs brings one to the time Quo Vadls Church, on the site of St. Paul's encounter with the burning bush and the Voice. Nowhere at Rome Is there a footprint of Christ! The Saviour was not a great traveller.

As his wonderful work was ac complished when he was thirty-one years old, there was little time for travel. The Journey into Egypt, when an Infant, was the only extended trip He ever made. It is quite the fashion for Christians especially those who today are as Ignorant as were the two millions or more of devout believers who joined In the Cru sades, to denounce the Mohammedans for revering their prophet instead of Jesus; but were not Moslem guards, this day standing over the two great shrines of Christendom, the Birthplace and the Tomb of Christ, the warring sects of Christianity would destroy the shrines, carry off the last stone In the two churches that surmount them and commit acts of vandalism that would forever disgrace the worthy name. I confess to a feeling of humiliation, on entering the Grotto of the Nativity, ad Bethlehem, to have found three Turkish soldiers, armed with muskets; but when I learned of the disgraceful scenes that have occurred between Russian, Armenian and Greek Christians In front of the sacred grotto In which the Saviour is 'believed to have been born, I could well understand that the Sultan of Turkey was performing a creditable service in preventing their repetition. The Romans, Armenians, Greeks and Russians maintain altars in the great church of the Holy Sepulchre, at Jerusalem; but on a day like this It would be almost worth your life or mine to kneel at the wrong shrine.

There will be a thousand Moslem troops In and around the Churh of the Holy Sepulchre on this glorious Sunday morning to prevent Christians from killing one another. Monks of the vorlous branches of the faith have no more reverence for the shrine than tradesmen have for their shops. They beat each other with sticks and brooms. They quarrel from one year's end to another. Bitter hatred Is shown.

It is openly charged and general ly believed to be true that the guardian monks who receive diamond rings, necklaces and other valuable gifts from visitors, have the precious stones removed and glass Imitations substituted, using the money realized therefrom for debauchery and drunkenness. There is another fact that Christians overlook: The Moslems do not guard the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, because it is in Turkish territory there are many holy places they do not protect, merely because they do not credit their gen uineness but for the reason that It is a shrine of one of the great prophets of Islem, Jesus. Mohammed taught that there were three under which God's teachings were imparted to mankind. Moses was the first, Jesus was the second and he, himself, was the last the true Interpreter. Such errors as his predecessors had made, unwittingly, may be, he corrected.

Such was the modest form In which Mohammed stated his case. The Invasion of Spain and other parts of Europe was not directed at the Chris tian faith, as the Crusaders mistakenly assumed. The Moslems repelled the inva sion of Palestine, exactly as the Ham-Iukes tried to drive Napoleon out of Egypt. Islam had no grievance against Chris tianity until Peter the Hermit, a fanatic, preached a Crusade against the followers of Mohammed. The prophet founded a religion of the sword! Conquest was a basic principle of the faith.

Its hardest blows were struck at idolatry! Kathryn Buckter, Miss Elizabeth Buck-ter, Walter WolskJ, Walter Ferguson, Miss Marie McNulty, Miss Mabele Glea- son, Miss Marie L.
