Wednesday next Cash Wednesday,
ushers in the Lenten season, which is
universally observed as obligatory by
the Orthodox Greek, Roman Catholic,
Anglican or Episcopalian and Luther
an churches, and as a profitable eXer-
else by many members of other
churches. With it begins a series Of
fasts self imposed by the conscientious
members of the congregations, and
special services in the different
churches, of these several sects.
In this city, with the beginning OF
Lent, the period of the winter social
season closes. The pre-Lenten season
is usually the season of the gayest and
most brilliant social events through
out the whole year. Prior to the PEN
itental season social entertainments
among the different classes of society
follow one another in quick succession
and society seems to reach a climax.
With the coming of the season numer-
GUS clubs disband for the time being.
Ardent whistler and confirmed eueSuu
rists deny themselves their favol
| entertainment and side by side seek.
throughout the penitential season To-
prepare themselves for the joys OF
Easter.
Easter this year comes on April I'd,
and as the intervening Sundays are
not counted part Of Lent, being al
I ways feast days, the period from Feb
ruary 18th to April I'd, constitute the
forty days fast.
With the beginning of Lent the So
ciety belle instead of attending social
functions denies herself many deleca-
cies, which can be really dispensed
with. She does not dance. play cards,
or even perhaps attend the Opera.
But on the other hand, she faithfully
attends all Lenten services at her own
church. In the evening she is 'at-
home" to any of her friends, but
farther than this her social entertainA
ment does not go.
And so after tomorrow all society
will go into retirement, and enter up
on period of HASTINGS by which 10
will be greatly benefited. and with tho
coming of Easter it will be born anew
to better enjoy itself after the period
Of retirement.

story brick building at the northwest
corner of Wabash avenue and Madison

$4,000, chiefly from water their base
ment being flooded, Other losses,
consisting of broken plate glass and
damage by smoke and water, will
probably amount to $4,000.
McClurg's stock was insured for
about 100000.

Trouble WITH TROOPS.

Suez, February 12.-The United
States transport Grant has arrived
here.
Gen. Lawton had telegraphed the
United States consular agent, A. w.
Hayden, that fifty members of the ex-
petition had deserted at Port Said and
would be brought to Suez by train. A
guard of Egyptian soldiers was mar
shaled in the depot to prevent their
escape. But only two men appeared.
These said that neither they nor any
of the others wished to desert the ex-
petition. They had gone ashore and
got drunk, but were willing to return.
The transport will wait for them here.

To the Sporting Editor of the Register
Sir:-In the Wheeling Register of
yesterday we note a challenge to our
team to roll series of games on the
Musee alleys for $25' a side, and since
our team is known to be an accommo-
dating set of bowlers, we will accom-
modate them by accepting their chal-
lenge, and ask for $50 side instead of
s25; only that the match must be
bowled with half the games on Fette's
alleys, which we claim as our home
alleys" If the Crescents will agree to
the above, they have only to telephone
to No. 628, or answer through these
columns, to secure pow wow

Attempted Jail Break.

There was an attempted Jail
break at Canon City Sunday, but
Sheriff Hawkins discovered the
plot before it was consummated.
The prisoners were working with
two files and two saws, and suspi-
cion was directed to P. c. DeMoss
as the man who furnished the tools.
Under Sheriff Simous at once fol-
lowed the fellow up and "pinched"
him at Cripple Creek. He was
brought back and yesterday was
bound over to the district court,
and not being able to procure
bonds, was placed in Jail.
DeMoss Is a young man sent up
from Florence for petty larceny,
and who was released last Wednes-
day. The facts of the attempted
jail break were not made public
until DeMoss was again in the
custody of the sheriff.

well-behaved player and the man he
fought is an incompetent umpire, what
protection will the good umpire have
against the badly behaved player? And
if one player with good reputation
is allowed to attack one of the leagues
representatives, why can't whole
team convince him that he is rotten?
Another point of view is, what right
has player, who is partisan and sees
everything from his teams standpoint,
to decide that the umpire is wrong in
his rulings? There is no angle from
which Criger's conduct is eXcusable. If,
as he claims, Latham applied foul
names to him within the hearing Of his
fellow players, why did he not make
affidavit to that effect and forward 1t
to President Young? He did not act
on the impulse Of the moment, but
carried out carefully devised plan.

most successful season financially and
otherwise that the Interstate league
has had. and the credit for pulling
things through belongs to Mr.. Power
Last season, you remember, the finish
of the two leaders was close. This
year it was closer and was not decided
until recently. Newcastle will get the
pennant Mansfield is making a
groundless kick about Newcastle win
ming it. The game that was played at
Dayton on Aug. 20, and which was
done so under the national agreement
rules, which state that no game other
than scheduled game can be played
during the playing season. AS ten
scheduled games had been played 1t
Dayton between the two clubs the last
game could not have been scheduled
for that city, and, consequently, Mr..
Power could not do otherwise than
throw it out. Mansfield has been a
long time in making its protest. At
the time the game was played Mans
field had no thought Of winning the
pennant, so did not then protest"

Organized labor has reached such q

1t is exactly the same way with differ

hard, eat too much, drink too much, eX-

any way, and the liver quits work.
Then the bowels become constipated and
the stomach goes on strike. The heart Is
affected, the brain follows suit, and every
part in the body is dragged into the
trouble
The only way out of It is to go at the
source of all this-the liver Square your
self with the liver and all will get back to
regular natural work.

right with the liver. They perfume the
