Her Husband Was a Spectator to the Game, But is Caught And Severely Beaten by His
 Better Half.

At that hour it is said that about fifteen people were sitting in the gambling room watching six handed game of poker The play CTS were deeply interested in study ing the faces of their crads, trying to see palrs, "threes, "straights" or 'fushes, when suddenly there was tremendous crash against one of the doors leading into the room. The door had been locked; it was strong and heavy, and it success fully withstood the first attack upon it;Ia second crash came a moment later, and it sounded as if a batter ing ram was at work. No lock or door could withstand such a shock, and it was burst wide open, and in rushed woman, whom the onlook- CTS declared was the very picture of the devil, so furious was her face.
 The woman's husband was one of the spectators in the poker room, and as soon as the first shock struck the door his face became ashy pale and he started for another outlet crying for Gods sake let me out of hereP The other door to the room was locked and the frightened man was unable to open it; someone un- locked the door, and the terrified husband started on a swift run to reach the hall leading down stairs. The woman pursuing, was as swift as he, and just before he reached the stairway the poor man, probably through weakness, caused by fright, lost his footing aHd fell flat on his back His wife caught him and ad- ministered to him an unmerciful beating and kicking She showed and knocked him until he reached the pavement, and there the man got another hard fall, Fit is said the woman knocked him down. She gave him another pummeling, and t..en walked away.
 A half hour later the poker play. CTS who had rushed out of the room, with the hair standing up like bristles on their heads, again enter ed the room, and were discussing the remarkable affair when mes senger entered the room and called for one of the game keepers, saying that man wished to sec him in the alley in the rear of the building The game-keeper followed the mes, senger and on reaching the alley ht found the poor husband. who was suffering with broken shoulder The fall he received, when knock ed down, had broken or dislocatet one of his shoulder blades, and h

An announcement to the congre- gation of the Trinity Church. Dear Bretheren:
 The season of Lent begins on We'd nesday. What does this season mean?

And remember always Shat 1t is through our lives we are taught to interpret Christ to eur fellow men. In order thatthis season may bring blessings to ourselves and to our neighbors. it is necessary that we should have clearly defined ideas about the work i VIC era era Ye to accomplish in our own lives, and for those round about us, 1 We want to make lent real. We can made itreal by having in mind and heart.
 First.-Repentenee. This does not mean only being sorry for sin. but ra tiier resolving. by the help of God, to do right.
 Second -Sclf-examination. Think lof self and not of others. Strive to

 G. Gordon Smeade.

The usual Lenten season for the year 1897 will commence in the city on Wednesday, morning, which is called "Wednesday, with solemn high mass at the Ga tholic church.
 The Lenten season as a usual rule is pretty well observed in this part of the country, by the Catholics and Episcopalians, and there are but few society events while it lasts.
 There will be services held on Ash Wednesday at the Episcopal and Catholic churches at which services the ashes will be blessed and the proper distribution made amongst the members. There will be high mass at St. Joseph's Catholic church at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. Divine services and Holy Commun- ion at the Episcopal church at II o'clock.
 Palm Sunday will be on the 11th of April, and palms will be blessed and distributed. The lenten season will close with Easter Sunday, April IS.
 There are a great many people who possibly have not read the reg ulations for Lent, and we publish beiow an exact copy of same sent out from Louisville by the Bishop of that diocese, the Rt Rev. William George McCloskey.
 REGULATIONS FOR LENT.
