TODAY, ST. VALENTINES.
How the Custom Originated and His
tory of St. Valentine.

There is no doubt but what the in
coming and outgoing mails of this
city will be loaded today with miSsives
decorated with pictures of young men
dressed rather lightly for Maine
weather at this time of the year, but
carrying with them messages that
cannot be so well spoken at other sea-
sons of the year.
The custom of sending valentines
can, without doubt, be traced in origin
to a practice among the ancient Ro-
mans At the feast of the Lupercalia
which was held on the 18th of Febru-
airy. in honor of the great god. Pan,
the names of all the virgin daughters
of Rome were put in a box and drawn
therefrom by the young men. Each
youth was bound to offer gift to the
maiden who fell to his lot and to make
her his partner during the time Of the
feast.
This custom became allied to the
name Of St. Valentine, probably, only
through a coincidence of dates. ST.
Valentine was a bishop of Rome dur
ing the third century. He was Of most
amiable nature. it is said. and pos
sessed remarkable gifts of eloquence
and was so successful In converting
Pagan Romans to Christianity that ne
incurred the displeasure Of the En-
peror and was martyred by his order.
Feb. IA, A. d. go. When the saint
came to be placed on the calendar his
name was given to the day of his
death and this was made festival 20
offset that of Lupcrcalia. An effort
was made to substitute the names of
saints for those of girls in the lottery,
but naturally without success.
4 pleasant time is anticipated at
North AucUSta Wednesday evening
Feb II. when Brother Josiah. n
comedy in three acts, will be presented
at Grange hall by tic Belgrade Grange
Dramatic Club. This mirth making
little play was given at Belgrade
Tuesday evening Of this week with
such great success, that Il repetition
was requested by the members of the
North Augusta Grange. a large party
of young people of this city are plan
ming to attend and enjoy the grand
bail which will conclude the evening $
entertainment.

MANY DISAPPOINTED FANS.

Yesterdays scheduled game between
the Sox and the Detroit Tigers was
called off for two reasons-first, a gale
hung with icicles blew across the south
side yard all the afternoon, and second,
Managers Jones and Jennings agreed
that they had made enough runs on the
opening day to last until this after
noon, when the two clubs will go at 1t
again with undated fury.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
no game sign was posted as early az
1880 o'clock stragglers besieged the box
Office up to the time for the gong and
seemed greatly disappointed at not be-
ing allowed to shiver through the after
noon in weather which would have
made clean play impossible. It was too
cold even for the Sox to practice, which
is proof positive that 1t was impos-
sibly cold, for Manager Jones would
have had the men working out If there
had been any chance
