NO FASTING THIS LENT.

Bishop wigser Gives His Diocese the
Benefit of the Dispensation.
AT all the Cath Ollie churches in this
city yesterday the following letter from
Bishop Wigger was read at every
mass:-
"In consequence of the prevalence
throughout many portions of the world
of the sickness known as influenza or
grip, the Holy Father, being soltcitous
also for the bodily health of his children,
has granted all the bishops of the world
in whose diocese this sickness has ap-
peared, full authority to dispense from
the laws of abstinence aud of fasting.
In virtue OF these faculties | hereby dis
pense the faithful of this d1socese from
the laws of abstinence and of fasting SO
long as l shall judge it necessary to do SO
and until further notice.
"Please announce this di~spensation TO
your people, and in accordance with the
wishes of the Holy Father, earnestly ex-
hort them while profiting by this indul
gence to be more assiduous In attending
divine service, receiving the sacrameuts,
Offering up earnest and devout prayers TO
Almighty God, and in giving aims to the
poor and for other charitable purposes.
"By this means they may placate the
anger of God, justly aroused against
mankind on account of the general cor
ruption of morals and numberless crimes
committed daily against Him throughout
the whole world.

urday during which Prosecutor jenkins
asked for information relative TO the case
of a person who has been convicted Of
murder and whose case had been carried

the refusal of the Supreme Court to grant
Lingo a new trial, and from the fact that

the convicted negro. Justice Garrison
stated that in lei cases the Supreme
Court sentences the convicted parties,
aud that the trial Court has nothing to
do with it after the cases are once taken
to the higher court.
