Dispatches yesterday morning give an account of what seems to have been a genuine ‘‘sporty” time during a recent visit of members* of the legis­ lature to the Ohio Soldiers’ a.nd Sail­ ors’ Orphans’ Home in Xenia. The whole matter has been keptamotbeml and-did not leak out until the board received some knowledge of the con duct of the state officials, The following members were in the parly: Representatives W .

To the Editor ol the Herald, We have just passed the Holy Week, I t seemed like « combination of an Easter with the Fourth of Ju ly aqd Decoration Day. Business was suspended from Wednesday till Mon­ day, altho President Diaz opened con-, grass Friday night.. This fact goes to show that church and state are separ­ ated in Mexico. * This year the military display was added to the Usual Easter observances because the second of April happened to fall in H o ly Week and that date is the anniversary of the great victory of Diaz over the revolutionist in 1867, since which time the Czar of Russia has been no .more autocratic than Porfirio Diaz. There were sajd' to be 15,000 soldiers ou parade in honor the President. , All feast days in Mexico are ac­ companied by special church.services if it,is nothing more than the inter­ minable clanging and hanging of bells; besides there is always more, or less of the boom of canon-crackers and the swish o f ’sky-rockets whether the celebration is for the Mexican Inde­ pendence Day, September 16, or*dur­ ing Passion.Week. During the whole of Thursday of this week and till late a t night - the streets of the city,1 (Mexico) were .crowded with people frying to visit as many churches' as possible. I t seems to be a rule of Gatholocism here that if a t this time anyone visits seven, churches he- has earned certain indulgences for the whole' year, “ Visits” describes the form very well, for, as far as I could see, the people-rapidly repeated some words once or maily times either standing or kneeling and then passed on to some other church to go through the same/ fbrrn there. The women wore black and walked as a rule itjf stead of using the ever present carriage ICandles by the hundreds were lump,ur?nt., .In ftimlmrcft there were about 200 bn the chandel­ iers besides those that lit up the altar from floor to dome in such profusion that one could scarcely see the altar for the trembling flames. In the cen­ ter of it all was a small coffin contain­ ing an imago of Christ. Notwith­ standing all these candles, the ■im­ mense columns and vaulting ceiling a t a little distance from the altar were only dimly lighted* I t was a kind of “ light that makes darkness visible," This, added to the smoke of the in­ cense and the foul air squeezed thru so many lungs, makes i t easy to imagine the churches temporary tombs, During all these religious services | the rateros, or thieves get in closer :touch with the people than do the priests; watches, packets* cameras, sombreros, anything is, likely to be stolen from Englishman -or Indian, r The visiting was kept up Friday, [the faithful being privileged to ki® “ the hands and feet of the Savior.’’ | On Saturday, the bells, which ha te been silent since Holy Thursday (and Hint is a long* long time for them to keep still) again begin to ring. Dur­ ing the “ silence",of these three days* matracas, ft kind of horse-fiddle* of the most Varied fashions grind out their music, wnether twirled in the hand or fastened to little wagons that children may draw along the streets, or Up in the church towers instead of the balls* A t about 10 a, m.
