Court House Was Not Safe.

Mr.. Ray, the wrecker OF the old
court house, informed representative
of the Herald Monday that in razing
the building he had discovered that
the old structure was absolutely un-
safe and is confident that had it been
property of railroad company or
some other organization that is care
full in it's inspection of property that
the same would have been condemned
long ago.
Especially was this true of the west
portion of the building proper or the
old part. The tim bers supporting the
roof were entirely rotted apart and
any unusual weight upon the roof
would have caused it to collapse.
Even fall of snow to the depth of a
foot upon the surface would have been
sufficient to bring about dire results,
Mr.. Ray states.
The razing of the building is going
on rapidly and thus far has been at
tended with no mishap. Nothing but
the bare walls now remain. the entire
interior having been torn away and
has been hauled to the asylum as fast
as the wreck rs have thrown it from
the structure.
Eight men are employed in the
work of tearing the building down
including Mr.. Ray himself and he is
confident that unless something I'M
forseen prevents that not a vestat,e
of the building will remain on the
old site by Saturday of next week.

LENTEN SEASON
COMES EARLY
Commences on Feb. II; Easter
Falls on March Goth.
MANNER OF FIXING DATE
Rules For Observance of This Denial Sea-
son Are Not as Severe as In
Former Years.

The Lenten season begins much
earlier this year than usual, as Ash
Wednesday falls on February 18th.
which will bring Easter Sunday on
March 80. So before the month of
April opens the season of fast will be
over.
The forty days of Lent, as is well
known, mark the season which many
churches keep in commemoration OF
the fasting period of our Lord. The
seven SUNDAYS of this time are not
counted as they are looked upon as
feast days and thus the Lenten period
is really forty-seven days. The Epis-
copalian and Catholic churches keep
Lent more than any of the churches
in this country, while in Europe the
Greek churches observe the fast much
more rigidly than the Americans.
The Lenten fast is an apostolic in
stitution and is in imitation of that
of the Lord, though it is not observed
at the period when the gospel places
it. The faithful in all ages have
looken upon the observance as a most
sacred duty. The fast was more
rigid in the earlier days of the church
than at present. The early Chris
tians ate little but herbs or bread and
water during the season. Later, a
little wine was permitted and in
northern countries where vegetation
was late and herbivorous food scarce,
milk was allowed. Later still butter
was admitted to the list of permiss-
ible foods and one of the towers of
RHEIMS cathedral is called the "But-
ter Tower to this day because it
was built from the offerings of the in
habitants in return for the permission
granted them by the archbi 20
use butter during Lent.
The first Sunday in Lent is called
Brand Sunday from the custom preva-
lent in the tenth century of those
who had to fill during the carnival of
presenting themselves before the
church with brand or torch in their
hands to receive the penance imposed
upon them through Lent. s.a,
The three Sundays preceding Lent
are respectively termed Septuagesima
Sexagesima and Quinquagesima as
the seventh, sixth all fifth Sundays
preceding Passion Sunday, These
Sundays are supposed to be prepare
ton for the Lenten fast. The Greeks
kept the entire seven weeks as fast,
with the exception that each Satur-
day was was not fast day.
The origin of the Easter festival
was in the second century. There
was no calendar as yet, but as the
most able astronomers of the day
lived at Alexandria, Egypt, they set
the date of Easter year by year and
it was according to their tables the
day was kept.

When on next Tuesday at the
City Opera house, the Isl Perkins >
symphony orchestra receives it's cue
from the leader, playgoers will listen
to one of the best musical organiza-
tons which has visited La ncaster in
several years. The play itself is said
to be intensely interesting, and with
the addition of artistic music a most
enjoyable evening is promised to
those who secure seats. II is seldom
that dramatic company carries two
distinct sets of musicians. The band
which gives laughable burlesque
street parade, is a decided novelty,
and is carried for the sole purpose of
creating stir among lovers OF the
play. Judging from the business
which Isl Perkins" has done in other
cities, it would not be amiss to say:
Secure your seats in advance.
