Temperance Fla-fet.'Waxea Warm,
Another busy day was spent by the ad
vocates of a no-snloon town today and at
practically all of the churches speakers
denounced the liquor traffic or advocated
the'dayllght saloon. Tha fight started
out as a clear-cut proposition of saloons
or no saloons, ' but tinder the constant
hammering of a local newspaper and a
few others tha exclsa board adopted ail
order that It would license only daylight
saloons should the prohibition movement
be defeated. Thla has complicated tha
situation considerably and has somewhat
divided the temperance1 element and at
tha same- time disappointed soma of those
who favored aoloonst The new 1 leans
year begin May" 10.' and the election Is
swt for two day "bo-fore.' and from now an-
til tha .AU Uiwj.UWA.wlU be torn up
owr the question. t Mayor Urown, a, mem
bar, of. the, exvls .board, was Jn favor
of submitting the. prohibition question
flat and . If .tho. town went dry to close
tha saloons, but Members Harpham and
Powell, the otner two members, elected
by what calls Itself the conservative or
temperance element, finally decided to
adopt the daylight saloon policy In case
prohibition lost. Consequently, whether
prohibition carries or not, Lincoln wilk
have no more night saloons for at least
a year from May. '

One of the commonest traits of human
nature Is the desire to keep souvenirs and
relics of objects or events that deeply

the old silk flag of tho First? City troop
of Philadelphia, which ta said to be the
prototype of the Stars and Stripes; the old
cracked bell of th state house, which pro
claimed liberty to ail the world; the faded
and decaying parchment on which was
written the Declaration of Independence:
the sword, shoulder straps, coat, stomacher
and even the silk stockings and shirt of
Washington, "the father of his coantry."
Hence, It was the most natural thing tn
the world for th early Christians to keep
many souvenirs and relics of Christ, the
founder of their religion, whom they be
lieved to be not only man, but God; such,
for instance, as the handkerchief loaned
Him by Veronica, which afterwards re
tained the bloody impression of His
countenance; the "seamless robe," woven
by HI mother, for which the "soldiers
east lots;" the spear with which' Lonulnus
pierced His side, letting out "blood and
water;" the crown of thorns which en
circled His head; Pilate's placard In He
brew, Greek and Latin, proclaiming Him
"King of the Jews," and, above all, the
crosa or gibbet on which He died.
The Interesting details of the finding of
the true cross, A. D. 828, by Empress
Helena, mother of Constantlne, after much
searching and excavating, are too well
known to need repeating here. What
wonder that, after the cross was brought
out from its long hiding place, popes and
emperors, patriarchs and monarch, pri
mates and princes, bishops and nobles.
convents and monasteries, and even devout
laymen, begged for small particles of the
precious -wood; until, , In tbo course of
centuries, the original cross was dismem
bered, divided and subdivided, and scattered
all over Christendom. Indeed, so numerous
ar th alleged relics of the true cross that
a widespread popular Impression exists
that they cannot all be genuine, or the
sum total of tha pieces would be sufficient
In bulk to construct a dosen crosses the
sis of Christ's.
Recent exhaustive researches by M.
Combes (not the ex-premler) and M. Ro-
hault do Fleury, who, some forty years ago,
carefully collected, studied, sifted, weighed
and compared every shred of historical
evidence that he could find on the sub
ject and personally visited, examined and
measured many of the principal relics
of the cross, show some surprising re
sults. Assuming the original cross to
have been fifteen feet high, the cross-,
beam seven and a half feet and the cross
seven and a half Inches wide by lx
Inches thick, which are about the dimen
sions required by the gospel narrative.
th original cross would contain about
six and five-eighths cubic feet of timber,
or 11,448 cubic Inches. But as the or
dinary relic, which Is usually bestowed
as a high favor on a bishop, is of mi
croscopic dimensions, M. de Fleury uses
th smallest French measure, the milli
meter, of which there are l,2J to the
cubic inch and no less than 27,009,000 to
tn cubic foot. Then, adding th sum
total of all tha known existing and lost
relics, gives us a volume of 10,835,055
cubic milllemters, or about (61 cubic
Inchea, which Is considerably less than
half a cubic foot, leaving more than six
cubic feet of the original cross unac
counted for after the most exhaustive
research and careful investigation. The
wonder then Is, not that there should be
so maay relics of th cross existing, but
so very few. These relics are found
chiefly In the following places: Jerusalem,
ona-thlrd cubic Inches; Rome, thirty-four
and two-fifths; Venice, twenty-eight and
one-half; the rest of Italy, seven and
one-tenth; Belgium, sixty-one and two
thirds; Mount Athos. fifty-six; Germany,
Holland, etc., sixty-two; Paris, fifteen and
one-fourth; the rest of France, twenty
three, and England, two.
