Lenten PASTORAL.

BELovED-Once again, in the
course of the revolving Christian
year, the Church calls you, as she
does all of her children, to the OBJ
servance of a blessed and holy Lent,
The Church does this for your spirit
ual welfare, that you may continually
grow IN grace aud in the knowledge
OF our Lord and Savior, Jesus Chaist.''
Grace is plentiful if you will avail
yourselves of the Church's sacred
privileges. While it is true that God
is ever waiting to be gracious, ever
ready to give you His blessing, if you
God" in the appointed services of the
Church, most assuredly will He
draw nigh to you.n To the perform
ance of what duties are you called?
To sincere repentance for sins: to SOL
emn humiliation and earnest prayer
for forgiveness; to stated attend
ance, so far as possible. on all of the
Lenten services of the Church; and
to the exercise of the largest charity
to your, fellow men, that you may
grant that forgiveness to others
which you seek for yourself.
The ends to be sought:
1. To get nearer to Christ in mind
and heart and life; to know Him bet
ter, and to love him more sincerely,
and to obey Him more perfectly.
2. To conqner the sins of selfish
ness and Indifference, that we NAV be
more spiritually minded.
The means to be Employed:
1. The study of the scriptures SO
far as possible.
! 2. Public worship, private PRAYER,
withdrawal from the world, and in.
creased activity in the Church's SER
vices.
8. Make some definite rule for your
guidance during Lent, but do not
bind yourself to it by any stringent
VOWS, lest they become burdensome
and you keep them for the sake of
the promise rather than for Jesus
sake. Keep your Christian liberty
that each act of self denial NAV be
offered as willing sacrifice to 'tHim
who loved US and gave Himself for
j u.s.
The Easter joy will be deepened by
the companionship of souls who NAV
now be unconscious of the love Of
Him who waiteth to be gracious.
Dear Brethren, may it be deeper in
your hearts than you ever felt it be-
fore. All this a real Lent will give
you.

The Jubilee Anniversary OF Italy's
Constitution Causes RcioiclnEs.
Rome, March 5.-The jubilee ami
versary of the italian constitution was
celebrated yesterday with general re-
joicings. The city was filled with Wis
itors, who thronged the handsomely
decorated streets. King Humbert, on

suite, rode to the San Marco esplanade.
where he reviewed 5000 troops Of the
garrison.
Subsequently King Humbert address,

from the throne. In concluding his
speech he said
"As at the dawn of our resurrection
all classes of citizens were welded to-
gether to secure the country's freedom
SC today they are united and mutually
aiding one another. The indissolublo
union of my house with the destinies of
the people based on concord of idea,
and strengthened by past misfortunes
and glories, will be the most secure
bulwark of Italian fatherland."
His majesty met with the most en-
thusiastic greetings from the people
while on his way from the Quirnal tC
the capitol through the troop lined
streets. on returning to the Quirina
he received another vociferous ovation
from the immense crowds of people il
the streets. the balconies and on the
house tops. After the King entered the

balcony in response to the cheering OF
the people.
Similar demonstrations took place

DO IT YOURSELF.

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way to do is TO take bottle or glass tum-
bier, and fill it with urine. If there is a
sediment-a powder-like substance-at the
bottom after standing day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is "a desire to urinate
often, and still another sign is pam in the
back. If urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys liver,
bladder and Of the urinary passages and CON
stipation of the bowels are cured by DR.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. There
is no question about its being the best and
surest medicine in the world for such troubles.
Ii quickly relieves and cures inability to hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up a number of
times during the night. For putting an end
to that scalding pain experienced in passing
urine, nothing is so good as DR.. David Ken
ned's Favorite Remedy. 1t corrects the bad
effects of whiskey and beer is pleasant to
the taste, aud does not seem to be medicine
at all. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder
often require the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can be
voided. In such cases Favorite Remedy
should be taken without further delay or the
disease may prove fatal 1t is sold for one

In a recent address Hon Carroll ID.
Wright, United States Commissioner
of Labor, put into brief compass two
or three truths bearing upon the
widespread unrest, prevalent especl-
ally in the industrial world Of the
present time, that are worthy Of being
carefully considered. Instead of
being alarmed at this unrest and
filed with forebodings on account OF
it, as many are, in his view there is
ample reason for an encouraging,
distinctively hopeful outlook. In a
word or two he gave the ground of
his faith. He said "Out of all this
agitation and discussion is growing a
new political economy. 1t is produc-
ing the coordinate man, who recog-
nizes and claims his rights and privi-
Ieges. The demand of workingmen
to-day is not for wages that will
barely keep the workers soul and
body together, but for wages that
will give him the things he has been
taught to expect lt Is only reason
able, right, and just that he should
have these things, and a margin
should exist above the iron law o
wages which would allow him to en-
ioy them. The margin has alread!
been raised from ten 10 fifteen PEI
cent. Labor troubles are not pro
dueed through ignorance, but through
intelligence, and the intelligence
which leads the workingman int
labor disturbances is one which lead
to a higher intelligence that will ulti
mately prevent these conflicts. Th'
true remedy, if there is one, for TIN
labor question lies in the practiea
application Of religious principles
and in nothing else"

The contest for the Republican
nomination for Governor is becoming
interesting. John Wanamaker has
deferred his reply to the BOurse com
mittee, and it is now generally be-
lieved he will decline to become a
candidate. In that event the contest
may be Stone VS.. Stone. There is no
doubt that William A. Stone, of
Allegheny county, whose principal
supporters are the Quay leaders, will
remain in the field and fight it out in
the convention. Should Wanamaker
decline, his supporters, including
those opposed to the leadership of
Senator Quay, will probably turn to
Congressman Charles w. Stone, OF
Warren county, as their candidate
The latter has held himself alooi
from faction fights, and has main
tained friendly relations with all the
leaders of the party.

TO HUNT BAKERS lYNCHERS.
WIN Run Down the Coll

Government VIII Run Down the Coll
ored Postmaster's Assassins.
Washington, March 5.--An hour or
more of the cabinet session yesterday
was occupied in the reading of a long
report from the special agent of the
postotIice department. on the killing of
Baker the colored postmaster at Lake
City, S. c. In view of the peculiar cir
cumstances connected with the murder
and the enormity of the crime, it was
decided to increase the governments
reward to 1880 in each case. Every
effort will be made by the federal au-
thorities to bring the guilty parties to
justice.
The action taken by the cabinet in
the offering of rewards for the appre-
hension and conviction Of the guilty
persons is said to be the most energetic
ever agreed on by any administration
in a similar case. 1t is said that At
torney General Griggs holds to the
opinion that the federal government
will have jurisdiction over the murder
ers when captured, unless they are first
taken by the state authorities. Baker
it is held was an officer of the govern
ment in the discharge of his duty, and
the attack on him was similar to an
attack on a deputy marshal or other
government official.
