Captain Stapleton Pleased-Doings of the
Amateur League.
Edward Stapleton, the captain of the new
Sacramento baseball club, who arrived here
from the East Saturday, spent most of bis
time yesterday in company with Manager
Zeigler, seeing the points of interest of his
neT home. He says he likes Sacramento's

vels at the predominance of pretty girls.
At meeting of the Stockton baseball
club last week the designations of Direc-
tors West and McDougall were received,

it seemed to be the prevailing opinion that
knit shirts should be selected of a slate or
kindred color, with light trousers The
players will be ordered to report to Mike
DePaDgher, from the 10th of March to the
sd, and their practicing will be under his
supervision.
There was meeting at Woodland yes-

AN OLD-TIMER.
James Ivey, the Ancient Criminal, Again

James Ivey, the Ancient Criminal, Again
in the Hands of the Law.
About two weeks ago Elliott's notion
store at Stockton was entered by burglar
or burglars and quantity of reyolvers,
cutlery, watches, jewelry, postage stamps.
and other articles were taken.
Sheriff Cunningham suspected James
Ivey, a notorious all-round crook, had
something to do with the matter, as Ivey
had been hanging around the town for
some time evidently loo king for Job"
When the Sheriff looked about for his man
he was astonished to find that Ivey had
fed. kilograms were Immediately sent to
various places, including Sacramento, call
ing upon the police to arrest Ivey on sight.
The local police were, in accordance with
the Stockton Sheriff's telegram, instructed
by Chief Lee to keep their eyes open, as it
was thought likely that Ivey would make
for Sacramento.
Sergeant Rowland ran into Ivey on Sec
ond and K streets as the latter was going
confident of his ability to handle the slip
perry ex-convict alone, hurried over to the
police station, snd, securing the assistance
of another officer, went back to the restau-
rant and placed Ivey under arrest.
Sheriff Cunningham was informed by
telegraph, and he came up from Stockton
last evening and took charge of the pris-
oner.
Ivey stoutly denied all knowledge of the
burglary, and says he can prove an abb.
Some plated jewelry was found on his per-
son, which it is believed is some of the
stolen property. The prisoner also had q
a set of burglars tools with him when ar
rested.
"Old jim" Ivey is one of the Oldest
criminals in the State, snd has served more
than half of his life in Jail. He is now
sixty years of age, and though he appears
to be a harmless, decrepid old man, the
police consider him most dangerous evil
doer. He has served nearly twenty years
IN the peRitentiaries of this State alone.
He has seldom ventured off the Pacific
coast, however, and has spent much Of
his Time, when he was not in jail,
in and about Stockton. When police
officer Scott was murdered in this city,
something like ten years ago, Iyey sub.
sequently became associated with two of
the murderers, and being old friends
having dome time together in prison
they told him of the murderer. The police
learned of Iyey's knowledge of the affair,
and induced him to divulge the identity
and whereabouts of the murderers. 1t was
in this way that they were caught

NOT SUSPENDED HERE.
The Lenten Regulations of the Catholic
Church Are in Force.

The Lenten Regulations of the Catholic
Church Are in Force.
A st. Louis dispatch to the Associated
Press, published yesterday, stated that a
prominent Catholic journal of that city
had on Friday published a letter from
its Rome correspondent in which he says
the Congregation Universal of the Inquisi.
ton issues a decree signed by Cardinal
Monaco and published in the official organ
of the Vatican, abolishing the Lenten fast
and abstinence this year.
The letter went on to state that the de-
cree was to embrace the whole world,
wherever the ordinaries shall judge the
dispensation necessary. The reason for
setting aside the Lenten obligation, it is
claimed, is the prevailing influenza which
is making such ravages in all parts OF
Europe and also in the United States.
Rev. Father Grace, pastor of this parish,
was asked yesterday whether the clergy
men here had received any official intorma-
ton on the subject, and if not, whether il
was likely that any such decree had been
issued.
He replied that no instructions had been
received setting aside the Lenten fast here
nor was there likely to be, under the cir
cumstances.
The Lenten regulations themselves make
provision for dispensations under certain
conditions, such as illness, delicacy OF con.
stitution, etc. Hence it would hardly
seem necessary for decree suspending the
regulations, at least on this continent.
