SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 1909. THE MQRNING ASTOUIAN, AbTOltl A, OREGON. DIED ON THE CROSS Superstitious Fanatics in Trinidad Imitate the Saviour VICTIMS MADE OWN CROSSES Mexican Penitents Accustomed to Carrying Out Crucifixion Select One Member for a Sacrifice and the Scenes Are Reacted. Trinidad, Cd, April On the cross, Just as the Savior died enturles ago, fanatical members of the Pent tentes, to reported to have died yes terday at Torre, Laa Animas county, Col Several Trinidad people claim to nave been among the eyj-witnses, but they agreed among themselves not to talk tor publication, so the details sur not yet known. According to the report current here, however, the vic tim was nailed to a cross of his own formation and died in agony that he did not seem to feel, wrought as he was to a delirium of religious fervor. The trtory of the crucifixion is vouched foi by Henry D. Rpblnson of this city, an automobile agent, who saw a crowd of Mexicans who bad been eye-witnesses and were discussing the tragic scenes In the old days, so it is sal 4. the carry ing out of an actual crucifixion was not uncommon among the penitents, but it was supposed to have been abandoned long ago. Although it is known that the practice of self- torture is still carried out among the members of the order during holy week. the Count and Tatrlck Jones.

There was a large attendance at the meeting of the Seaside lodge, A. O. U. W. last night at their hall, every one being interested in devising some scheme whereby the organization v would be maintained, notwithstanding the actions of the grand lodge In In creasing the assessment- Nothing was ..done at the lodge meeting, but imme diately after adjournment, a meeting of citizens was held and a committee appointed to formulate a plan for or ganizing a separate insurance company and withdrawing from the grand lodge, If such a plan, in their Judgment was feasable From the sentimental ex pressed it is very probable that the local lodge will withdraw from the jurisdiction and Incorporate a local Insurance company, although this is problematical Seaside Lodge. The steamer Elmore arrived m latt evening from THIannok. Among the cargo of freight was a fine cow, prob ably all that there Is left from the Elmore stock farm, and it was brought to Astoria for safe keeping. Several years ago Mr. Elmore bought a fin farm and stocked it with thoroughbred cattle. There ought to be an Incrtise In the stock, but every time Waiter Rldhalgh went down to take an In voice, there seemed to be no increase. What is necessary on a stock farm is a manager that can report an IncrecM of at least one bull calf a year. There is no question as to tfc adaptability of the farm or the quality of the stock but there has always been a large sized discrepancy in the increase. He Needed the Money. "I have decidod," said the digni fied Astoria gentleman, "t let you have that young man after all, if you are positive that you can't be happy without him." "Oh, father!" the beautiful girl cried, "you don't know how happy you have made me. Now I can see the gates of Paradise opening on the beautiful Easter morn. Dear, good, kind papa. Let me kiss you' for those sweet words. Oh, I can hardly wait to fly to him ana tell him the glorious news. He will be so glad. We shall be so happy now. It seems almost like a lovely dream. I can hardly believe I am awake. But tell me, what made you change youi mind? Yesterday when I tried to plead for him you said you would never per mit us to see each other again. And It you bad known how these words bruised my heart. What has hap pened father, to make you relent? He kissed her fondly, and then, with tears in his eyes, replied: "I sat In a little game of poker where he happened to have a hand, last night, and if we don't get that money back in the family some way, my busi ness is going to suffer."

COLONIZING SCHEME Wild Cat Speculators Unload Some Worthless Property BIO PROFITS IN TOWN LOTS Invest Five Thousand Dollars and Clean Up Nearly Four Hundred Thousand Dollars by Deception and Wilful Misrepresentation. Baby Enjoyed It A laughable Incident occurred yes terday on Eleventh street A party of ladies were going from Bond to Commercial street and one of the young ladies had one of these two wheeled go-carts, in which was a baby strapped in. Aa is fashionable, the lady was pulling the cart behind her and evidently much annlmated In a conversation over Easter bats and the prevailing styles. So interested was she In the conversation that she did not notice that the strap broke and the baby slipped out on the sidewalk. A gentleman who had noticed the kid as he slipped out of the cart went up to her and said: 'Madam, I guess you have droppel something." The Ineident created conslJerabl merriment, even among the ladles, who went back with her and picked up the baby, who seemed to enjoy the fun. A Musical Event. The fine vocal work of J. Adrian Epping Is a delight to his audiences. He possesses a baritone voice of great range and beauty. His repertoire cov ers a broad field; from the romantic to the tragic, from the delicate to the forte passages he meets every re quirement. His dainty Interpretation make a pleasing contract to the heavier dramatic work. Among other selections Mr. Epping will render The Prolojju from 'Pagllacci" and the Aria from La Jolle Fille de Perth," by Bizet. The advent of Mr. Epping is the most not able event of the musical season. Fishers' Opera House, A comfortably filled house greeted L. R. Stockwell and Charles E. Verner and their company last evening In their latest political comedy success, "The Hon. John North." The story Is very amusing and the sltlatlons are such that the audience' was kept In con stant good humor 11 through the four acts. R. R, Stockwell is & comedian of the old school, of which there are very few left. His impersonation of the candidate, John North, is one of his best characters. Charles Erin Verner does some very clever work as A. 0. U. W. Meeting. Astoria, Ore., April 17, 1905. Each and every member of Seaside lodge.
