Walla Walla, Wash, May 19.--
Peter Augusta. French sheep herd

the city Jail today, suspected of be-
ing insane as a result of worry over
the approach of Halley's comet.
The man was brought to Walla
Walla several days ago from the
Snake river district
Since being placed in the cell, he
has. talked insistently in his own
tongue about the comet, and showed
every evidence of terror on account
of its approach.
Frenchman who heard Augusta S

indicate that he has been close
student of literature printed about
the comet.

Havana, May 19.--The streets OF
Plnar del Rio today are filed with
praying people who believe that the
explosion which destroyed the garri-
son here was caused by Halley's
comet.
The bodies OF &c members of the
garrison had been recovered at noon
today.
A strong force of picked "rurales"
reached Pinar del Rio today to pre-
vent any attempt by the revolutions
lists to take advantage OF the excite
men caused by the explosion.
More than 100 men we're killed
and 500 injured, according to esti-
mates today.
The authorities fear that an up
rising may follow. The explosion is
believed to have been an accident,
but the temper Of the revolutionary
societies makes the authorities ap-
prehensive.
The men of the garrison, which
was totally destroyed, we're transfer
ring explosives when the accident oc-
CURED. All these men we're killed,
and there is little likelihood that any
of the details of the explosion will be
learned.

under way Many Of the wounded

rector Carnegie observatory.
DR.. Ha. his assistants spent
the night ,hg observations and
watching fol effects of the comet
that might be registered by the del

servatory.
The comets tail was distinctly

O'Clock this morning, Prof Hale de-
clares. 1t curved through a great
arc in the sky. To this curve he at
tributes the fallacy of the general
scientific prediction that the earth
would pass through the tail yester-
day. At dawn today the tail extend
ed from a position near the star
alpha in the constellation of aries
over one corner of the square of pc
gasus to the milky way.
No attempt was made to compute
its length.
Prof. Hale says further, accurate
observations of the comet will be
impossible until tomorrow morning
after the moon has set. Even then
it is extremely doubtful that good
results will be secured.
The observations on Mount Will
son today will be confined almost
entirely to study of the sun spots
that have puzzled the scientists dur
ing the last few days.

ity." Let US remember "if we live in
the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit
and glory in nothing save in the cross
of our Lord, Jesus Christ; bearing one
another's burdens, and so fulfill the law
of Christ" Let all dissensions cease
from among us. that we may be worthy
of our vocation as Catholics, laboring
in the apostolate of Christ, that in ev-
cry word and every deed We may
strive toward the restoration of all
things In Christ.
The holy season of Lent, then, comes
to us as the time of earnest prayer and
sorrow for sin. It reminds us of the
Passion of our divine Savior and urges
us to correspond with his love and thus
show our gratitude for what he has
done for us.
The good Catholic during Lent rigid
ly abstains from public amusements,
which while not sinful in themselves,
are permitted at other times of the
year. No good Catholic will entangle
himself during Lent in social festivities
nor attend balls and dances, nor will
he be seen at the theater. He also will
give serious thought to the poor and
make almsgiving one Of the practices
of the Lenten time. Lent is the time
of sacrifice. Every day something spe-
cial should be done for God.
Begging Gods blessing on the priests
and people of the diocese and praying
that the holy Lenten time may be
abundant in its graces for us all,
remain, yours very sincerely in Christ,

NEGRO LOSES $50 BY
LATEST BUNKO GAME
New FIim=Flam Pocketbook SWindle
Is Worked on Prize Fight En-
thusiast, Who Says
"Never Aeain!"

A new flim-fam game was worked on
]. Hartman, a negro living at 1902
West Ninth street, last night and as
result he is minus $50.
Hartman was walking along Spring
street between Third and Fourth when
he stopped to discuss the Langforo-
Flynn fight with stranger.
While discussing the battle, Hart
mans new formed acquaintance no
ticed a pocketbook in the street and
Immediately an argument arose as TO
who should have the contents. Hart
man insisted he should have a share
when the wallet was opened and 500
bill was found.
Another negro appeared at the same
time and demanded a "rake-off." 1t
was decided Hartman should have $40
and the remainder should be divided
between his two friends"
The stranger who first accosted Hart
man gave him a $50 bill and told him
to get the change. Hartman did not
have the change but went to friend
and borrowed $50 and was given the
$50 bill
The friends then departed and Hart
man found that the $50 bill was bogus
money and that he had been a victim
of a new bunco game. He also learned
that the pocketbook contained $lOo
bogus bill and had been dropped pur-
posely
'Never again." was his parting re-
mark after relating his experience at
