Those who imagine that everything OF
a social nature stops during the prescrib-
ed forty days of Lentsn fast and rest.are
most egregiously mistaken in these lat
ter days of general degencracy. Out
wardly social gaieties are at dead stand
still. but beneath the home chandelier
the worldlings rule, and easily sccceed
in drawing into the vortex of pleasure
scores of those who would shudder at
the thought Of attending public ball or
reception. There is always a sweetness
about forbidden fruit. and the individ-
uals who pretend to keep Lent and do
not, are just now surreptitiously engag-
ed in slipping delicious honey from the
comely flowers of deception.

FOUND SERIOUS fAULT.
Foundations of the Government Worlds Fair
Building Poorly Constructed.

CHICAGO. Oct. 29.-Architect w. j. Ed
brooke, of the Treasury Department, who
arrived in the city yesterday to look after
the construction of the government build
ing. accompanied by Superintendent of
Construction III. L. Bell. visited the
grounds and found serious fanlt with what
had thus far been accomplished OF the gov
ernment building. Twenty -One piles for
the foundation of the dOme had been
driven. According to Mr.. Edbrooke they
were neither large enough nor driven
properly, and he ordered all of them pulled
out. The contractor was at the same time
shown the necessity for complying abso-
lutely with specifications In government
work. About 2SS piles must be driven to
support the foundations for the dome, and
the contractor was told that each one of
them hereafter must be officially approved
by NJ. f. Bell. Mr.. Edbrooke found twenty
men at work driving piles and laying
foundations He &C once informed tho
contractor that his force was not half
large enough. and that he would nave to
increase it. This the contractor agreed to
do. The latter was reminded at the same
time that his work must be completed by
the middle of July next. Mr.. Edbrooke
decided that the grade of the building
should be raised one foot. to coincide with
tho established grade of the remainin Y
