It is very true that many thousands of people will take but little interest in Easter. Eiia i an ago In which materialism aud selfishness have too much sway. For many Easter has no interest. The world is with them ‘“late and soon,” and ‘getting and spending” absorbs their powers. The factory bell is more than Chrisimas chimes, clangor of the wheels of commorce rowns all welody of Easter belis. Yet not- thstanding the materialism which has such 8 old upon the peeple, today will witness turoughout the world a festival, not that of demonstration, but of hope, The earth, just praking from its wiater sldep, throbe with a Jarger promise than thatof buds and blos- Boms, of flowers and fruit, It 'is & morning of a thousand gracious events.

Complete stagnation has marked the do- inn of the fashionable world, due prob to the very briliant pre-Lenten oft, and like one young woman said: “Lenthas beén dreaafully stupid.

It was the lecturer’s nope that before many ;:‘nmh country would posess some of the 1 aud most valuable private collections, and that New York would be looked upon by all nations as the great art center of the ‘world. She then described some of the {amous paiutings in this country g # short biography of the artists who' pain thewm. Her vivid description of some of our wauction sales was very realistic. ‘The tendency of Americans to imitate and purchase pictures of artists who have be- ocome celebrated, iostead of searching for the works of younger artists who have not be- come famous 4s yet, but who, never theiess, paint works which stions, was _very much She related several avecdotes llrllxhl 0 the point, wmong others the fol- lowin, A young lady richly dressed, l-l.- ingly a person of refinement and “““““‘x standng before f{he famous painting Tho Angolus.” Tursing to her eompanion, she asked, ‘What does “The lus' moan!

SIXTEENTH AND FARNAM 8T8, MAX MEYER & BRO. CO. OMAXAIXA, ESTABLISHED 18686. Death of Mrs. Frank E. Ritchie. Communicated. Perhaps the most cruel blow dealt by the dngel of death, so far, during the prevalence of la grippe and pneumonia was aimed with fearful precision at the five children of Mr. Frank E. Ritchie of the Woodman linseed oil works. True—he is bereft of anoble helpmeet who encouraged and supported him: who cheered Dim as be went forth to his labors and who grected him with asmile and affectionate embrace *when the evening sun was low:" who shared with him the summer zephyr and the winury blast. But they have lost a mother—yes, 3 1 the most complete significance of d term. gnificently equipped mentally shewas to thets 3 meator of thé rarest type. Tt was ber constant aim to drill their minds tenderly, carefully and firmly. Her life and comlfort. were ever subordinate to their imme- diate happiness and destiny. No power can measure the love she bore them. But sheis gone—her life work finished—she nas well and fully earned the rest into which she has now entered. Farewell! Dear mother! Truest friend! Thou knowest how deeply we entered wmto thy pleasures and sorrows! How tenderly, how truly we loved thee! Farewell! We will ever hold sacred the memory of. thy example and sacrifices! Rest thee i peace! Farewell ! D. E. PRIVATE European Parties, Uader the Patronage of Mrs. M. D.
