LENT OBSERvANCES.

The following observances ofLent were
read in all Catholic Churches last Sum
day.
All the weekdays of Lent from Ash
Wednesday to Easter Sunday are fast
days of precept; on one meal, with the
allowance of a moderate collation. in the
evening.
The Church excuses from the obligation
of fasting (but not of abstinence from
fesh-meat except in special cases of sick
ness) the inirm; those who are attaining
their growth, those whose duties are of
of exhausting or laborious character,
women in pregnancy or those nursing in
fants, and all who are enfeebled by old
age.
The following dispensations are grant
ed to this diocese by the authority OF the
Holy See for this year.
The use of fiesh-meat is allowed at
every meal on the Sundays of Lent, and
at the principal meal on Monday, Tues
day; Thursday and Saturday. Ember
Saturday and Holy Saturday excepted)
The use of eggs and white meats is
allowed every day at the principal meal,
as also at the collation..
A small piece of bread, with a cup of
coffee, tea or chocolate, may be taken In
the morning.
When it is not convenient to take the
principal meal at noon, is is lawful to in
vert the order and take a collation. in
the morning and dinner in the evening.
Dripping and lard may be used in pre-
pairing food.
On Sundays:there is neither fast nor
abstinence, but fish and flesh may not be
used at the same meal.
Those who are exempt from the precept
of fasting may eat meat at the three
meals on meat days.
By a special Indult granted to the
Bishop of the United States for ten years,
dating from March 18th, 1895; working
people who cannot easily observe the
common law of the Church, are dispensed
from the obligation of abstinence on all
days of the year, except Fridays, Ash
Wednesdays, Holy Week and Christmas
eve. This dispensation does not exempt
from the additional obligation of fasting
where such exists; nor does it authorize
the use of fish and flesh at the same meal.
1t includes, however, not only the indi-
vidual workmen In whose favor 1t is
granted, but all the members of their
families as we'll In return it is expected
that those who avail themselves of this
Indult will endeavor to enter into the
spirit of the holy season of Lent by
voluntary acts of aims giving, mortifica-
ton and penance. A most useful and
commendable custom Is that of abstain
ing during Lent from stimulants,
in honor of the Sacred Thirst of Our
Divine Saviour.
The time for fulfilling the Easter pre-
cept of Communion in the archdiocese -
tends from the first Sunday in Lent to
Trinity sunday inclusive.

DAVID HARUM.

Charles Frohman will present William
H. Crane, the comedian, and one of the
best-known actors on The American stage,
in the dramatization of Edward Noyes
Westcott's extraordinarily successful
book, David Harum," at the Academy
of Music next week. The work of dram
atizing the book fell to K. and NJ. w.
Hitchcock andthey are credited with hav-
ing taken but few liberties with the story
Since its production the comedy has had
a tremendous vogue. Inpoint ofconcrete
success none of the book-made plays Of
the past few seasons can approach it.
For sixteen weeks it ran in New York to
the capacity of the Garrick Theatre, and
last week in Washington its takings
amounted to over $4,000. People who
have seen the comedy are loud in their
praise of it, and it is confidently asserted
that the work will live and be popular
for many years to come. There is much
to commend the work and to give it long
life. 1t is clear and wholesome, it's humor
is quaint, it's philosophy delightful, its
story interesting andits characters, types
of people everyone who has ever spent a
few weeks in a country town are familiar
with.
Mr.. Cranes individual hit in the play
is very marked. He makes an ideal
Harum and shows the different sides OF
| the old banker-horse-tr traders character
with rare skill. He suits his individuality
entirely and he is Harum in the life.
The play is divided into three acts, and
there is nothing of Importance in the
book that is not retained in the comedy.
All of the scenes are laid in bonneville, N
Y, and the first shows David bank with
Aunt Polly's home across the road and
the barn in the background. The second
act is laid in the office adj dining the coun
try room of the bank, and the third act is
laid in the sitting room of Aunt Polly:
home on Christmas morning. Everyone
who has read the book will readily re
member the e-trade with Deacon Per
kins. 1t was one of the best things in it
This trade is shown in the play, the hors'
"that will stand without hitchin'" being
brought into evidence. Another capita
scene is the one wherein David tells of hi
visit to the circus.
Mr.. Frohman has surrounded MI
J Crane with capital company of charac
) ter actors, among whom are William
Sampson, Charles Jackson, Sheridan TuI
: per, Homer Granville, William Dean, w
H. Dupont. Charles Avery, George F. D
We're, Frank Burbeck and George S. Pre-
, bert. Among the women are Miss Grac
Heyer, Miss Kate Meek and Miss Lol
Frances Clarke.
Scenically the settings are very tasteful
and the production will undoubtedly fin
:, as much favor here as has been lavishe
j upon it in other cities in which it has bee
D seen.

proud. One COW from his herd was sold

EDUCATION IN PORTO RICO.

The expense OF maintaining schools in
Porto Rico is very high, if we consider
the amount spent for the small number
of pupils enrolled, but as that country is
gradually brought in closer touch with
our own, their system will evidently be
changed, until it reaches our present
state of perfection. In this country the
people are being educated to the fact,
that there is sure cure for dyspepsia,
indigestion, constipation, liver and kid
ney troubles, and that medicine is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t should be
taken at the very first symptom, if you
| would avoid unnecessary suffering. 1t
will give prompt relief and eventually
cure, as hundreds of people, including
many prominent physicians, have testi,
fed during the past fifty years.
