ambition is not one beyond the reach
of city the size and fame of this,
nor is the endeavor to attain the dis
tinction one to be secuted at. The
practice adopted by this government
in the christening of vessels of war is
to name the battleships after the
states. and the cruisers, likewise bat
tleships, in fact, but not technically so
in name, after cities. Now the naval
committee of the house has recon-
mended the building of n number of
additions to the fighting strength of
the navy, both in battleships and in
cruisers, armored and otherwise. Fol-
lowing the recommendations of the
secretary of the navy, the committee
has passed favorably upon the addi-
ton of three seagoing battleships,
three first-class armored cruisers and
six smaller vessels.
Let the Effort BE Made.
The city of st. Louis has already
applied for the name of one of the
armored cruisers. Rock Island would
like to come in for recognition some
where on the list of new ships. With
a systematic effort through the coun-
ell and the Rock Island Club at home
and Congressman Prince in Washing
ton the city might attain the honor
she seeks. At all events there is no
harm in making the effort. Let that
effort be made.

lENTEN SEASON Is NIGH
Worldly Pleasures to BE Renowned for
Forty Days.


The Lenten season will begin
next Wednesday, and for the
following 40 days social pleasures
and terpsichsrean pastimes will be
| frowned upon by those who are ac-
customed to observe this rigidly SOL
emn period with it's injunction to alb
stain from the fleeting joys of life.
With the passing of the years the OBJ
servance of Lent has gradually re-
Taxed in its rigidity, and nowaday.
the prolonged fasts and austere GUS
toms of the ancients are comparative
lv unknown. However, those who
observe the Lenten season in this mod
ern age refrain from many of the
pleasures in which they find so much
enjoyment at other times.
There are fewer balls and parties
and more services in the churches,
especially the Catholic and Episcopal.
which make prominent the lesson
that mankind is mortal and must re-
turn to the dust whence it came with
the resurrection in the world to come.
This is the keynote of the Lenten sea-
son, and the lesson constantly taught
is that all should be prepared for the
final summons when it comes.
In the Catholic churches there are
services Wednesday and Friday even
ings during Lent, and all are of a
somber character unit. Easter comes,
with its gladstone story of the Savior
risen, when the chant of sorrow gives
way to the song of Joy over the prom
Use that mankind shall rise again.
As is customary, the bishops have
ra1 har los Nd 1,@, &C.,
the various dioceses during Lent, and
these will DO read in all the churches
the Sunday preceding Ash Wednes-
day, which marks the first day of the
penitential period. These do not diff
fer greatly from those promulgated
in recent years, and are as follows:
l. Ash Wednesday falls on the 10Th
day of February.
2. All the DAYS of Lent are fasting
except the Sundays.
3. All persons who have completed
their 21st year, unless legitimately
dispensed, are obliged to keep the
fast. Custom allows cup of tea,
coffee or chocolate, with a small
piece of bread to be taken in the morn
ing. In the evening q collation. not
exceeding the forth part of an ordi-
nary meal is allowed.
4. BY dispensation, the use of
fresh meat is allowed at the principal
meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays, except the Sat-
urday in Ember week and the Satur-
day in Holy week.
5. The use of fish and flesh meat is
not allowed ut the same meal during
Lent.
8. All under 81 years of age, who
are not engaged in hard work, the
sick and convalescent, and persons
who cannot fast without serious in
jury to health, are exempt from the
fast. Persons excused from fasting
on account of tender age, hard labor
or sickness, are not restricted to the
use of flesh meat at only one meal on
the days on which it is allowed.
Those who entertain any reasonable
doubt about their obligation to fast
or abstain ought to apply to their
pastors for advice or dispensation.
