a card party or a round of pleasure
of any kind might not break the law.
1t would be no wrong when the funer-
al services were ended to go to the
theatre or another card party. No
sin in it, but it would look like fury
and violate all decency, and there are
some ol~d-fashioned people who would
say that it should not be done.
This is Lent, the day of our Savior's
sorrows. His sorrows were the price
of our redemption-paying for u
sinful liberties with Gods law. The
day of his sorrows and humiliation
ends in death, not unavoidable but
freely suffered for our ransom. These
forty days commemorate the agony of
the garden. They bring us with him
before Herod and PLATE. They COM
memorate His falling on the rough
road, jeered and spit upon, meeting
His beloved Mother-and Calvary!
1t is not forbidden tt organize card
parties during Lent or join them, nor
wrong to curtail our customary pleas
ures to any other time. 1t may be
all right to let the Man of Sorrows
tread the wine press alone, suffer
alone and die alone. 1t may be all
right to sit by the wayside and play
games of chance while the Savior of
men is crushed under the weight OF
u sins. 1t may be all right, but to
those who remember what Lent COM
nemorates and how much penance
and self-denial are in keeping with it,
going to card parties and rounds of
pleasure during the dark night of our
Savior's long vigil of sorrow and
shame seem out of place-are Sout Of
place.
Those who know so we'll how to
obey the law of decency with regard
to setting aside some time to COM
passionate the suffering and mourn
the dead, and whose own hearts in
stinctively feel the justice of it, will
find no difficulty in answering 0for
themselves whether or not it is the
proper thing to go to card parties and
balls and theaters during the time
when the church commentaries the
suffering and death Of Christ.-Catho-
lie Universe.

Card Parties In Lent.

Are card parties allowed during
Lent? Someone wants to know. vi
course they are. So are dancing par
ties and theatre parties and socials
generally. 1t is no fault of ours that
the ten commandments do not forbid
them, and in>this advanced age some
of our up-to-date Catholics accept
nothing but the law of Sinai and they
keep one eye shut on that. No, card
parties are not forbidden, but-well,
they look bad.
Let us illustrate: Death is always
an unwelcome visitor when he takes
those we love. When he comes and
goes we feel that his passage leaves
us heart-sore and sad, unit for the
pleasures and gaieties of the world.
1t might mean father or a mother,
an only child, a wife or cherished
friend-death's harvest. The vigil OF
his coming, however prolonged,
would seem too short, and when the
day of sorrow dawned the agony
would almost overwhelm. During
the long days of sickness it would be
no wrong to pass our evenings in
pleasure while our friend was in pain.

WOUNDED ARE SERIOUSLY HURT
Avalanche No. 2 Comes Down On Thost
Working for Rescue.

Avalanche No. 2 Comes Down On Those
Working for Rescue.
The snow and debris piled in the
bottom of the canon. is % feet deep.
Those who escaped the slide at once
began the work of rescuing their less
fortunate companions. A dozen or
more were taken out alive, some of
them badly injured, however. The
most seriously hurt are: Jacob Golden,
arm cut off and serious internal in
iuries: James GOnlOn, ribs broken and
arm badly, cut; John ~Isaacson, leg
fractured; Henry Pauer, leg broken
and serious internal injuries. Word
was sent to Telluride"a and a number of
citizens left for the scene of the dis
aster to aid in the rescue Of the VIC
tins.
Shortly after noon, while the work
of digging out bodies was going on,
the second slide came down almost in
the track Of the first. The mountain
side is very steep, and the descent of
the snow mass was so swift that
twenty-four of the. rescuers were
caught, two being killed. They were
Harry A. Chase and l.. d. Stanley.
The others were more or less injured,
but none is fatally hurt.
At S:3Oo'clock Superintendent Chase,
of the Liberty Bell mine, ordered the
work Of rescue suspended, declaring
that it was useless to endanger life
further while slides were running,
Several parties started at once for
Telluride. Two of these parties were
overtaken by slides. In one Gus o
Fontel, John r. Powell and Paul Dali
phres were killed, and in the other
George Rowher and w. S. Gregory lost
their lives.
A large number of men are missing,
and it is thought probable that the
death list will be swelled to twenty,
and possibly thirty, when the bodies
are taken from the 10Y mass. Sew
eral other slides are reported in this
vicinity. One at the Camp Bird mine,
in the Sneffels district, resulted in the
death of one man and the probable
fatal injury of three others.

Telluride, Colo, March 1.-The most
terrible snOwslide accident ever known
in Colorado caused the deaths of pos
sibly thirty men employed at the Lib
arty Bell mine, on Smuggler noun
tain, yesterday. Although the scene OF
the disaster is scarcely two miles from
this town, information. is difficult to
obtain on account of the precipitous
character of the roads n the vast
amount of snow. Nearly all the build
ings of the Liberty Bell mine were
carried down by the slide, all the books
which show the number and names OF
the men employed being lost, so that
the death list can hardly be known for
many hours, possibly not before the
rescuers have removed the immense
quantity of snow, rocks and logs from
the canyon where the victims lie
buried.
Names of the Known Lost.
No less than four distinct slides &C.
Cured, each n claiming two or more
victims. Several bodies have been re-
covered, but quite a number of the
known dead are still buried under the
tons of snow, rocks and timberS by
which they were carried down. The
death list of the first slide, so far as
known, follows: Gus Swanson, crush
er feeder; H. S. Summerland, tram
brakeman; Harry Golden, waiter in
boarding house; Gus Kraul, miner; j.
r. Clemmer, steward; Wade Grove
and r. Bishop, miners.
The victims of the second slide were
Harry A. Chase, assayer, and l.. ID.
Stanley, carpenter.
Those who met death in the third
slide were Gus Won Fintel, carpenter:
John r. Powell, surveyor, and Paul
Dalphrese, miner.
In the fourth slide the following
were killed: George Rowher and w. S.
Gregory. i,
There Was Luck in Absence.
The first slide occurred at 1870 a. m.
and carried away the boarding and
bunk houses and the tram house or
the mine. About 250 men are regularly
employed in the mines and mills or
the Liberty Bell mine, but a large
number of men from the night shifts
had come to Telluride n were pre-
vented from returning to the mine by
the terrible storm which was raging,
The day shift had just gone to work,
leaving but comparatively few under
ground workmen at the bunk house.
The slide came without warning. The
three large buildings were carried
down the steep mountain side a dis
lance Of about 1000 feet and literally
ground to splinters, not a board being
left intact.

An Enjoyable Event.

Feb. 25, 1902, the day that Prince
Henry of Prussia was received at
Washington by President Roosevelt,
was an eventful day for the American
History club of Lancaster. Special
preparations had been made for the
observance of Nv ashington's birthday
at the hospitable home of Mrs. A. e.
Morse. One of the parlors was most
artistically decorated with white flags,
pictures of colonial times and curios
of the Civil, Mexican and Revolution
airy wars. There were also ancient
~tea-caddies, a mirror owe n hum
dred years old, souvenirs from Mt.
Vernon and other places of note IN
America. The most beautiful of all
was a fine silk apron richly embroid-
cred, which was brought from Mexico
in 1S4S by Sam Woodhouse, deceased,
father of Mrs. John Wright, Jr. The
Club ladies represented in their at
tire the most noted women of Wash
ington's time.
The following invited guests were
most royalty entertained by Mrs.
| Morse and the other Club ladies':
Mesdames Geo. Rockwell, l.. L. Clark,
E. M. Bracket, T. F. Orion, Froth-
ingham, Geo. Angus, Belle d. Smith,
Florence Bradley, Jay Nathan, Miss
Helen Reed and Master Fred Godfrey.
The meeting opened by the singing
of america" by all, then came read
ings, selections and most interesting
talks on Washington's life. "a
Young Girls Scheme" was beautifully
rendered by Miss Helen Reed and M.
A. Reed gave in an equally effective
manner two readings, which by their
tenderness and pathos touched many
responsive chords. Mrs. Budd's rem
der1ng of 'sThe Little Rebel" and
Mrs. Gamers "Liberty Bell" met
also with an a%ppreciative feeling. If
time and space were allowed we
would be pleased to note specially
each performance.
Miss Maude Carthew was rendered
a vote of thanks for efficient help in
preparing the program and for assis-
lance in other ways.
A tea-test came next and after an
enjoyable competition the judges
awarded the prize to Mrs. Belle D.
Smith. Then came the repast, con-
sisting of sandwiches, pickles, hon.
inv and baked beans, stewed peas,
cake and coffee. While the company
was at supper The American History
Orchestra discoursed sweet music.
Each guest received as a souvenir,
a reversible card with pink ribbons
attached, bearing pictures in life-like
colors CT George and Martha Wash
ington. After five o'clock the invited
guests retired and the husbands of
the CT ub ladies came in and refresh
ments were served to them.
The entertainment closed with the
singing of Long, Long Ago" The
event will pass onto the records of
the American History club as a nota-
BILE affair, while with the genial host
ess will linger long the gratifying
memory of sharing with many friends
the hospitalties of a lovely home.
