about this is that, while the burden Of

1T Is Iyaged by the Nobility Walters
Who Wear nIasta clles.
A Vienna dispatch to & London paper
says: "A curious wager is at present oc-
cupying the attention of such widely
separated classes as our young nob.emen
and the Association of Hotel and Res
| taurant Walters in this capital. Several
Of the young scions of the highest Aus
trian aristocracy, who were accustomed
| to dine in an old hotel Of high repute in
| the Karnthner Strasse, took exception
| to the practice of the walters, most OF
| whom have seen twenty or thirty years
service. in dressing their mustaches in
Just the same fashion as the 'noble
swells:' they had to serve. One of the
| high-born customers accordingly laid a
wager, which was Immediately accept
ed, that within a given time the OBJ
| iectionable adornIncnt should disap-
ear from the upper lips OF the wait
ers in all the fashionable hotels and
restaurants in Vienna, otherwise the
proposer himself was to shave off his
own embellishments for a given period.
In order to effect his purpose, the latter
commenced by trying to persuade the
hotel-lxeeper in the Karnthner Strasse to
forbid all his servants wearing MUS
taches. on penalty Of losing his aristo
cratic customers. In this case he Sue
ceeded, but the walters, who were
mostly married men, one after another
gave notice to leave their places. They
were at once replaced by younger
men who, for a consideration, submit
ted to the imposed humiliation. The
same thing happened in a number of
other hotels and restaurants, and the
wager was nearly won by the layer,
when the proprietor of the Hotel Impe~
rial, the first hotel in Vienna fatty re-
fused to comply with the within Of the
! Vienna jeunesse doree, whom he told
outright that if they deserted his house
he should readily find better customers.
The case was also taken up s'as matter
of right and HONOR by the Association
of Walters, which threatened to expel
from the society any member degrad-
ing himself by humoring aristQcratic
caprice in this matter. Thus the matter
stands at the present moment. The bet
appears likely to be lost, and then will
come the triumph Of the walters, who
expect soon to have the satisfaction Of
seeing their would-be dictators, instead
OF themselves, going about with shaver

Church, and ia Rome they are not eaten
when meat IS allowed, but dispensa-
ton to eat them on certain days is
granted. AL this is for the spiritual
good Of the members Of the Church, and
when Pope Benedict XIV, saw the ease
with which the people excused them-
selves from fasting in every part Of the
world, he renewed the ancient customs
of the Church by forbidding meat and
fish at the same meal when meat was
allowed in Lent.
This life is continual battle against
temptation, and the Church made up
Of the clergy and of the people, is like
great and powerful army in ceaseless
battle array against our enemies. For
that reason, Lent is called the fighting
time of the Church. For that reason, in
the offices of the breviary we say the
psalms, wherein is recalled that battle Of
the christian against the old enemies
the powers of hell.
We are coming near to the sad sight
of the death of our Lord. We are to gee
that rage of the Jews against Him
which ended by his death on the cross
Tie church prepares us before hand, by
celebrating certain feasts on each of the
Fridays before Lent, which are like sc
many preparations for the tragedy OF
Good Friday. The Friday following the
first Sunday in Lent We celebrate the
memory of the holy Lance and Naile
which pierced His sacred fl esh; or, in
some cases, the feast OF the Crown O.
Thorns He wore upon his Head. The
Friday of the second week we say the
office of the Linens, which Joseph and
Nicodemus wrapped around His body
when dead and laid Him in the tomb
On the third Friday we commemorate
the memory of the five Wounds of GU,
Lord; while the Offices Of the fourth
Friday are devoted to the memory of the
most precious Blood shed for our re-.
demption.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
while a big block of stone was being
swung into place at the north end OF
the Main street stone bridge, it slipped
from the hooks and fell into the water,
which was about five or six feet deep at
that point. This made Fishing job

hours in an unsuccessful effort TO get

condemned by the inspector, as large
piece was broken off. Work at that end
Of the bridge was delayed good deal
because OF the accident.

to do this we condemn their action"
After few more points of little in
terest were discussed, the convention
