A moment as mysterious as the sacred idea it celebrates - the crucified Christ's decent into Hades before his resurrection - arrived Saturday morning at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in a cascade of rose petals and a cacophony of bells, hands drumming on wood pews and a church elder chanting in his ancestral tongue. It was a rich, even raucous moment affirming belief in Christ's conquest of evil and heralding the arrival of the church's most significant holiday. This year, the Eastern Orthodox Church - the faith of an estimated 300 million people from the United States through Eastern Europe and the Middle East - celebrates Easter a month after the Western Christian observance, capping 40 days of fasting and a week of services marking different stages of the paschal narrative.

CLEVELAND -- The Orioles claimed Albert Belle was going to alter their personality, make them intense, make them mean.Spin again.Frank Robinson transformed the Orioles when he arrived in 1966. But Belle is not that type of player, never has been, never will be.If anything, he represents everything that club officials supposedly wanted to change after last season's disappointing 79-83 finish.He's about numbers. He's about money. And if the Orioles win, then all right, what the heck, he's about winning, too.Funny, that was the criticism of Rafael Palmeiro, but general manager Frank Wren seemed comfortable with losing him, at least after he signed with Texas.

An article in the April 19, 1913, edition of The Argus announced the return of familiar face on the rail cars . Not content with sitting on a slow-moving auto truck, Charles Bujac of Catonsville, one of the oldest motormen in the employ of the United Railways, is back again on the cars and will probably remain in that position for the rest of his active days. The lure of the old "Speeders" proved too strong for "Uncle Charlie," as he is known by all the men on the line, and so, to the great delight of his many co-laborers and friends, he may be seen traveling to and from Towson to Catonsville Junction on the back of a United States mail car. He is no longer guardian of the brakes which he so greatly loved, but rides on the back of the car in charge of the bell.

July 6, 1943 Robert Mack Bell born in Rocky Mount, N.C.; family moves to Baltimore about 11/2 years later. June 17, 1960 Bell and 11 students try to get seated at Hooper's Restaurant at Charles and Fayette streets in Baltimore. A hostess says the restaurant policy is not to "serve Negroes," and they sit down nonetheless, prompting a call to police that leads to their arrest and conviction for trespassing. Case becomes known as Bell v. Maryland because Bell's name came first alphabetically.

Maryland's highest-ranking judge, Robert M. Bell, likes that his courthouse is dedicated to his predecessor, pointing out that the letters etching Robert C. Murphy's name on the building's exterior are filled in gold paint to make sure even nighttime drivers can see it. As Bell approaches retirement, mandatory when he turns 70 in July, he scoffs at the notion that his name might someday grace a building as well. But then, his name is forever etched in legal history by virtue of the Supreme Court case Bell v. Maryland.

A few weeks ago, I spent a few quiet minutes in Green Mount Cemetery, where its higher ground offers unexpected views of Baltimore. As I looked to the southeast, something curious caught my eye. What was going on in the nearby Oliver neighborhood? What was that thing attached to the mighty bell tower of St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church? This parish — the oldest African-American Roman Catholic congregation in the United States officially founded for people of color — has just begun to celebrate its 150th anniversary.

In 1936, Clare Booth Luce surprised theatergoers with “The Women,” a snappy - and snapping - play about catty New York socialities and wannabes, performed by an all-female cast. Three decades later, Canadian playwright Michel Tremblay delivered a kind of flip side. Tremblay's “Les Belles Soeurs” (“The Sisters-in-Law”), which has been given an intriguing production at Fells Point Corner Theatre, consists solely of female characters. These Montreal ladies are on a much lower socio-economic level than Luce's rhymes-with-”itchy” types, but just as prone to gossip, prejudgments and back-stabbing - and likewise capable of being awfully amusing.

No longer does he throw balls at fans or chase pitchers to the outfield. He's channeling his fury, and unleashing it on opponents.Thomas never would have beaten the Orioles the way Belle did Tuesday night.

Regarding your article on how many birds are killed each year by ordinary house cats, when our cat was alive we put a tiny bell on her collar so she could explore the outdoors while giving birds plenty of warning that she was close by ("The destructive invasive species purring on your lap," Feb. 26). It was extremely effective at preventing her from killing birds. While I'm sure a leash would have been more effective, the practice seems unlikely to take hold any time soon. Bells are easy to use and are found at local pet stores.
