When the Komun Catholle church ceases to make laws for the poor man and sev aside the same laws for the rich mun, then honest minded people may become Catholics and not skeptics, as the majority of American Catholies now are. J. The Sun learned, by inquiry at the Masonic temple, that the statement that Barrett was 8 Mason was true, the records showing that he was a Royal Arch Mason, A copy of the above letter was shown to Fathor Sherman, the priest who administered the last rites of the Catholic church to the tragedian, He read it through and said : “It is true that a Catholic who bocomes a Mason is excommunicated from the church, but the circumstances in this cuse wero ns follows: Ihad heard Mr, Barrett say, in our house, that he was an Irish Catholic and I never knew that he was & Mason until near the lust moment. As ho was a dear friend of mine I went to Archbishop Corrigan and asked for permission to administer the lasi sacraments. 1 had to ask permission because 1am not connected with the parish in wnich the W indsor hotel is. The archbishop con- sented and then I told him that Mr. Barrett was a Mason. He said: “Ah! But there will bono Masonic rites? I assured bim that there would not be. Mr. Barrett had expressed a wish tobo buried from a Catho- lle_ church. Knowing as I do the are bishop's views on the Masonic question, did not ask for permission for a church burial or to administer the full rites of the church after death, That can only be done when the dying person renounces all his evil dispositions. When I began to ad- ministor the sacrament to Mr. Barvott. ho was unconsclous. In the middle of it he oponed his eyes and recognized me. I told him that 1 was anointing him, and_he said, ‘Thank you.'

From his willinguess to receive tho sacrament 1 inferred that he wished to die a member of the Catholie church, 1 would nave administered this sacrament to any Christian who was unconscious and dying. taking for granted his good dispositions. | had 10 time to ask Mr. Barrett to renounce Masonry. 1 cannot say that hewould have done s0'if I had asked nim.

Whother the priest at tho place where the body will be futerred will hold a requiem inass and porform the last rites, I am unablo to say. The remains of the great tragedian were interred in the family lot in the Cohasset, Mass., comotery beside his fatherand mother, The services were held in St Anthony's chureh, where the requiem mass was sung. ‘The Catholic burial ritual was performed at the grave.

The members of the order in Milwaukee are greatly stirred up over the organization in that city of a lodge of colored Knights of Pythias, The Pythian Age of Milwuukeo takes the stand that the supreme laws of the order provide that a candidate for member- ship must ho “‘a white male, at leas: twenty- one years of pge,” and tnerefore any lodge of other than white males isillegal. The question has caused considerable discussion ou the question of drawing the color line, and the Pythian Knight pertinently asks where the color line is to be drawn. It says: ‘‘At what shade of blackness, brownness, redness or yellowness shall the prohibition bave force!” And if a negro, who is almost white, is to be debarred, why should not an Italian, Spaniard, Mexican, Portuguese and many of our southorn brethren, whose skins are tanned, also be debarred? 'These people are all colored, as indeed most peoplo in the Pythian order today are, Some are sallow, some are bronzed, some have red noses and cheeks; and, alas! some have chegks of brass, and hearts not well attuned to Triend- ship, charity and benevolence. By the way, how about these virtues in_connection with a consideration of this subject! Snall we kick them on one side while we settle the question, or shall we allow them to sway us in our ° judgment! The Pythian Knight believes that pythianism is so broad in its scope that all mankind can find shelter under its procecting wings. It believes” that an organization which_professes to work for the betterment of the human race and draws the line at the point when a man’s skin gets yellow, red or black, is not founded upon a asting basis. Churches may draw color lines because their creels are multifarious, and the bible enables a man to show suthor: ity for almost anything from polygamy to hu- man slavery; but pythianism is all-embracing in its teachings, and its fundamental princi- ples are based upon charity aud benevolence, For Pythias to deny fellowship with men on account of color is a stultification of the worst kind, Where in heaven's name 18 the charity of sueh a proceeding! whero is the friendship! where the benevolonce! Instead, is not there aisplayed in this prohibiting measure, pride, hostility and seltishness ¢ Omaha division No. 12 will glve its fourth annual party at the armory of the Omaha guards on Capitol avenue tomorrow evening. ‘The division will give au_exhibition drill at 8:30 o'clock, to be followed by danciog.

On the evening of the 18th inst. the shrin- ers of Kansas City dedicated a new temple for tbe use of the order there with imposing ceremonies, and conducted & great caravan of unfortunato wanderers across the desert.

The seventy-second anniversary ot the es- lishment of Oddfellowship in this country will oceur .n April 2, and Grand Sire Bus- beo has issued a proclamation calling upon tho members of the order to fittingly observe tho occasion. Owing to the fact that the date falls on Sunday the grand sire directs that the event be celebrated on the 25th or the 27th, - Oddfeilowshipwas introduced in this coun- try April 26, 1819, Unsuccessfui efforts to establish lodgeshad been made at New York and Brooklyn during the period between 1306 and 1819, In 1817 Thomas Wildey, a nstive of London, arrived in Baltimore, Md. Honad been mado a member of the order in England, and conceived the idea of forming a lodge in his adopted country. Accordingly a meeting was held the night of April 26, 1819, in the ‘'Seven Stars tavern,” on Second street in Baltimore, at which were present. Thomas Wildey, Johin Weloh, John Duncan, -John Cheatham and Richard Rushworth. Ac- cording to the custom of self-institution, they formed Washington lodge No. 1. Thomas Wildey was installed as noble grand and John Welch as vice grand. From this humble start the order has grown to its present mag- nitude, The colonel commanding the department of Nebraska has issued a call for tho annual re- view and parade of the Patriarchs Militant ofthe 1.

PO E Thesixth aunual reunion and grand lodge meeting of the Benevolent Protective Order of Eiks will occur at Loulsville, Ky., May 17, 18and 19. The lodge at Louisville has been busy for some time making arrangements for suitably entertaining the large number who will be'in attendance, aad the programme is- sued by the lodge and the executive commit- tee having eharge of the. reumiom shows that all former efforts will be l\lvw. On Sunday, the fisst day, Lousville lodge, assisted by visiting lodges, will dedicate a plot in the cemetery for the interment of de- ceased members. - At 11.4. m. on louday the reunion proper will be opeped with un ad- dress of welcome by Mayor H. 8. Tyler, Hon, Heowy Watterson and the president of the the session. The guestion of miking an ag- nearance in the spectacular parade was left open for further considertion. ‘Omahalodge No. 39 held its annual election of officers Thursday evening in its lodze rooms in the Continental block. The election rosulted in tho cholce of the following: Ex- alted ruler, Dr.H.W.Hyde; esteomed leading knight, C. 8. Whitney; esteemed loyal knigbt, C. F.

Theannual session of the grand lodge will be held at Grand Island May 12. The session will probably be an-interosting one, as sev- eral important matters will comeup for con- sideration. Among other things thero will be considered a proposal to reduce the ex- penses of the grand lodge by lessening vhe number of delegates. The plan proposed is to have the basis of representation remain as at present, ely, one delegato for every fifty members or major fraction thereof, but it is proposed to have only one delegate from each lodge attend the grand lodge, that dele- gate carrying tho proxies of the remaining elegates from his lodge. This is strongl objected to by the lodges in this city, whicl have a large number of delegates. It s stated that while one man might have six or more votes, he would only be able to do the work of one mag, and a small lodge, repre- sonted by an actave man, would have the ad- vantage over the civy lodges. Numerous otier objections.arg urged, and it is probable that the propasitign will be opposed by all the delegates faogm fhis city. Another matf come up for considera- tion is a propositiogto publish all notices ot assessments in the 'Workman, & paper pub- lished in the igtergsts of the order at Lin- coln, by private. parties. The publisher agrees to furnish the paper to every member of the order in the afate for 35 cents per year for one copy, the spbscriptions to be paid for by the wrand lodge: The expeuse, as com- pared with tuy:vmmhofl. is practically the same but t| much opposition to the plan and it wil 0 much discussion, The same plan . has tried in eastern states and is reportedo have worked successfully, At the regulag-meeting of Union Pacifio lodge No. 17 lagh/Mquday evening, an invita- tion to be presant’ at the entertainment of North Omaha laggo at Goodrich hall tomor- Tow night, was aceepted.

Magaaene and Mary, the mother of James and Solome, had bought sweet -spices, that they might come and anoint him. ““And very early in the morning the first day of the week they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. “Ana they said among themselves, who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? “And when they looked they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was -very groat, *And enteringinto the sepulchre they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in long white garments, and they were affrighted. “And he saith unto them: Be not af- frighted, ye seck Jesns of Nazareth, which was crucified ; he is risen, he is not here, be- hold tho place where they laid him.’—St. Mark, chapter 16, verses 1 to 6 inclusive. The above plain, simple narrative, written about eighteen hundred and fifty years ago is an account of the wonderful event which became the origin of the great Easter festi- val—now unquestionably the greatest festi- val known to Christendom. ~While some of the ceremonies and festivities partici- ated in by people who observe aster may not be strictly 1 accord with the teaching of the meek and lowly Nazarene, and whilo many who foin 1. the festivities even doubt the supernatural character and the actual resurrection of the Savior, yet tho fact remains thathis own prophetic ~words have gone around the world and seem dos- tined to accomplish the work he predicted : *If 1 be lifted up I will draw all men to me.” On account of the fact that the cruci- fixion occured just at the close of the Jewish feast of the passover, it became quite nat- ural for the foliowers of Christ to celebrate His resurrection instead of the feast of the passover. ‘i feast of the passover is held on the 14ch day of the’first month of the Jewish year, and the Jewish year is measured by c..anges of the moon as @ basis, Some of the carly Christians held that the celebration of the resurrection should simply take the place of the Jewish feast of the passover and be held on the same day, but others maintained that it should bo held on the first day of the week following the passover. This dispute created two divisions of resurrection ob- servers, the first holding the day of the Jewish passover, being called the Jewdeizing Christians. This dis pate continued up to the year 325 A.D., whoh & councll was called at Nice 10 settle the dispute. At that council it was decided that the resurrection should be cole- brated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 21. This arrangement has continued up to the present. It leaves scope for o wide variance m time from year to ear, Easter may come anywhere between arch 22 and April 25, depending of course upon the lunar month, Tho word Easter undoubtedly comes from the word Eostre, the name of a Teutonic,god- dess of spring, formorly worshiped by the early Saxons 1n_April, but which festival vanished when Christianity gained . foot- hold in western Europe. The German word for iaster is ostern, meaning rising. The Greeks call the festival Pasga, the Lating Pascha, these coming ftom the Hobrew word meaning passage or passover. In the Dutoh the day 18 called Pascher, the Daues call it Paaske and the Swedes Pask. The entire Christian church recognizes the two fold nature of the festival—the crucifix- fon and the resurrection—and however wide. the creed and theologies of the various socts. very high order aud specially prepared for the occasion, The Lutheran church is notea for its special Raster services also, and the houses of worship of this deuomination are usually filled to overflowing by earnest wor- shipers on that day. early all ecclesiastical bodies hold special Caster services, but some make it only an occasion for special meditation, prayer and m}oiclug. n_successful modern society Easter timo is the breaking of a dreary season of in- activity and social lassitude. It is tho signal for the renewal of social pleasure and fash- ionable festivities, . There are some peculiar superstitions and customs still in vogue in Europe with regard to Enster, Insomo parts of Ireland the peo- ple believe that the sun dances and turns threo timos around just as it comes peeping over tho hills on Easter nocn. The people of all ages and conditions of lite are in the habit of climbing to the WY of the nearest high hill and watching the rising sun with cager eyes and bated breath. As the first bright rays of Sol came shoot- ing across the glades and glens from behind some distant hilltop or mountain the expect- ant people imagine that the miraculous solar sommersaulthas been accomplished and with glad hearts and light steps they return home 10 eat Easter eggs and join in the general festivities of the day. In some counties of northern England the men parado the streets and claim the right to lift every woman they meet threo times from the ground and receive @ Kiss as @ re- ward for the effort. By referring to the long list of Easter ser- vie the Omaha churche: ed in today’s BEE it may be seen tha of & religious nature in Omaha today bo fully up with those of any and the devout worshipp their homes after the chy completed feeling a dee story of the resurrection and & more found respect and love for tho sublime char- acter of Jesus Christ. Rishop Newman on Methodist Politics, Speaking of the articles collected by Dr. Parkhurst, editor of Zion's Herald of Boston, upon the subject of ‘‘Ecclesiastical Politics fn the Methodist Kpiscopal Chureb,” and published in book forw, Bishop Newman said: It is my opinion that thero is much ex- aggeration in the articles collected by Dr. Parkburst. I o not believe that there is one half so much political trickery pructiced in church affairs as these writers have en- deavored to maiutain, “Somo years ago atone of the elections there were u few that inaulged in that were wholly out of place iu the trausaction of church business, but & succeeding general coutest rebuked it so sharply that the hike has not been kuown since. “In church appointments and elections, as in other matters, people have their p ences, and I cannot understand how it can wrong for gentlemen to make an honest ef- fort 1o secure the election of ‘those men they naturally prefer. Suppose now that you ace & minister and have & friond who fs iTkely to be apponted or elected to some position for which you be- lieve he is well suited. - What could bo more natural than for you to speak a good word for your friend and do all you could, honora- bly, to secure nis appointment or eloction !
