Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 22.-The Rev
Henry Duncan, a white minister of the
Free Will Baptist denomina tiou, was
hanged at Ozark, Ala, yesterday.
Duncan poisoned his wife. The Grim G
was actuated by Duncsn's uzholy love for
Miss George Baldree, handsome young
xomsn, with whom he elopsd the day
after his wifs's death. He admitted that
ne was guilty of his wife's death,
but charged Baldree and his daugh
ter with being accomplices. They were
arrested but we're discharged, there being
no evidence against them besides the state
ment of Duncan. He commended to the
last that he was sxpiating crime of which
he Was not alone guilty. He thought II
very hard that he was compelled to be the
only sufferer.

burglar in his house few nights ago.
Hand me my revolver" cried MIR.
Hill in stentorian tones to bis wife.
The burglar fed at once. This report
of pistol in the house was too much
for his nerves. OF conrse 1t may be
argued that indirectly he told false
hood. But his method of procedure
is worthy of high praise on utilitarian
grounds. 1t is economical and safe.
The man who refers to revolver
which exists only in his Imagination is
apt to scare the burglar and is in no
danger of shooting a member of his own
family.

Now that the date of the demo.
cratic city primaries has been fixed,
the taxpayers and substantial men OF
the party should determine in adj
vance to attend the primaries. 1t is
their duty. 1t is the only way to put
good men on the ticket and the only
way to elect any of their candidates.
Unless they turn out at the primaries
and put up none but good men, their
ticket is doomed to defeat. Good
men have too long neglected to at
tend primaries.

Cardinal Monaco, ami published in
the Official organ of The Vatican, abo,.
ishing the Lenten fast and abstinence
of this year. This is extended 10 The
whole world. wherever the ordioaries
shall judge the dispensation necessary.
The ressou for setting aside The Len.
ten obligations, it is claimed, is the
prevailing influenza, which Is making
such ravages iu all paris of Europe,
and is thought to be prevalent in the
United States, This decree will, ne
doubt, be quite surprise to the
Roman Catholic community, as
1t is the first decree of the kind ever
ssued In the history of the Church.
In the Catholic Church the Lenten
abstinence and fast, when there is no
lawful exemption or excuse, is Obliga'
tory under moral sin. When any
doubt existed In the MINDS of Catho
lies as to whether they were excused
from feasting and abstaining, they
were required to explain to their con-
fessor any reason they might have for
not being able to comply with the
Lenten obligations, and he would de-
eide whether the excuse was sufficient
for dispensation. According to the
general rules for lent, the use of meat
is allowed at any time on Sunday,
and one principal meal on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
excepting Ember Week and Holy
Saturday. The former viii be
next Saturday. Meat and fish are
not allowed at the same meal. Eggs
and butter, cheese and milk are al
lowed on abstinence days at dinner
and at The euAnIng rnIlatinn- In tho
morning, coffee, tea, chocolate, etc. !,
may be taken with small piece of
bread, but nothing more is sllowed at
this meal on any day during Lent.
Persons who are lawfully exempt
from fasting may use meat more than
once a day when meat is allowed.
The evening collation. is limited to
what would be the fourth part of an
ordinary dinner, or at most 8 ounces
of food. All persons who are over 81
years old, and not older than so, are
obliged to strict observance of Lent.
