Two young ladies Of Reading accom-
panied the excursion to Lititz on Thurs
day. While visiting friends they were de-
tanned and missed the only train for home
that evening. Not Wishing to remain over
night, and the distance being too great to
walk they waited at the station until q
freight train came along. They stated
their case to the conductor and he kindly
invited them to take seat in the "mon-
key box" They gladly accepted the invi-
tation, and after shaking up of four
hours, they arrived home at midnight,
vowin. never to miss train again.

TIE CATHULlC JUBILEE.
Solemn Services Mt ~. Mary's.

The exercises attendant ON the jubilee
promulgated by Pope Leo XIII. to the
Roman Catholic world on the 18th of
March last. were formally begun last
evening in St. Mary's church, this city.
The encyclical letter announcing the
event was read at the morning masses and
recites the rapid march of infidelity even
within tho walls of the Eternal City. the
spoliation of ofchurches. the many Obstruc-
tiOns placed in the way of religious educa-
tiOn, and the numberless indignities offered
the Holy See. II view of these facts and
following the example of his predecessors
in the pontifical chair, His Holiness Ordains
that from the 10Th of March last until the
3Oth of next November inclusive, the
faithful shall gather together at the call of
the bishops of their respective dioccscs, to
pray God to avert the calamities threaten
ing the church and to prosper the cause Of
sectariin education. The regulations to
be observed for the gaining of the plenary
indulgence granted to those who perform
properly the conditions of the jubilee arc
about rs follows: Two visits arc to be
paid to each of the three Catholic churches
of the city, an important feature Of
which is the giving of aims one day is
set apart for 4 strict fast and
the whole is rounded off by ths perform
ancc of the most solemn duties Of the
ritual.
The institution of the Jubilee is attri-
buted to Pope Sylvester H.. who, at the
close of the tenth century, took that means
CT rOusing the world to the reality Of the
Mussulman persecution in the Holy Land.
Since that time, with unimportant changes,
it has been used by successive popes on
occasions both Of joy and sorrow. The
services last evening were deeply interest
ing and closed with powerful sermon
on the danger of delaying repentance,
from the Rev. Father McC ALLAN, of Balti-
more, who will preach at the morning and
evening exercises during the present week.

Philadelphia Times, Ed.
Even in Lancaster the hip pocket looms
up as a foe to public order and the seren-
ity Of Sunday. Mr.. Gundaker, who
seems not to have been sufficiently urged
to join picnic party where his wife and
mother in-law enjoyed the society of a
commercial tourist from New York, laid
in wait for the unsuspectins escort. and on
his return shot him ut sight. A
jealous husband who wears hip pocket
embodies large material for tragedy,
and on Sunday. when he is not distracted
by the cares of business and can give un-
divided attention to any domestic infelici-
ties, he should be cordially welcomed to
all family festivities or else thoushtfully
avoided. Mr.. Gundaker's name in itself
should have furnished suggestion of
danger to the young man who sought his
wife's society, and the whole episode is
practical warning against semi-detached
wives, Sunday picnics and especially hip
pockets.
