EASTER TO COME
LATE THIS YEAR
LENT BEGINS MARCH 1-RULES
LAID DOWN BY CATHOLIC
AND ScoPAL
CHURCHES.

Lent will begin this year on March /.
How Ash Wednesday and the Lent
season are reckoned seems to be a
mystery 10 many people" said Ro-
man Catholic clergyman today. Lent
is always reckoned from Easter sun
day. but to many people this is equally
mysterious.
Easter Sunday always is the first
Sunday after the first full moon after
the spring equinox. March II. If the
full moon is on Sunday Easter is the
Sunday following, Easter comes April
l6 this year.
Lent is generally forty days before
Easter. There are usually six Sun
days intervening but they are not
counted in the forty days. This
makes Lent always begin on Ash Wed
nesday. 1t is always preceded by
Shrove Tuesday which is the last day
before Lent"
Another clergyman discussed the OBJ
servance of Lent as follows: Lent
is the Christian season of observing
the forty days fast of our Savior in
the desert and consequently the church
expects its members to follow the C.
ample of Christ, in small way at
least. All dances and other forms OF
amusement are foresworn. on W2d-
nesdays and Fridays the members of
the church eat no flesh of animals
and on all other days in Lent flesh is
eaten only once a day. Eggs and fish
can be used at any time and to any ex-
tent except that fish cannot be used
| at the same meal as meat. From these
observations of Lent some aged or in
firm persons are exempt"
The Episcopal church observes Lent
also. but it does not dictate any meth
cd of observance other than various
religious services which are held al
intervals i'm the forty days of Lent
The observance of Lent is left by the
church to the mood and tempermen
of the communicate. The rules say
1.-THE church orders such a measure o
abstinence as is more especial,
adapted to extraordinary acts and eX
ercises of devotion" This means tina
there should be no formal psrties o.
social functions but that the churcl
does not place a ban on the so-calle'
innocent amusements. The Observance
of Lent is left to the dictates of tn
communicates conscience

WOMEN DOCTORS NOT NEW
In the Eighteenth Century There was
a Lady Student at Hospital
In Florence.

Women as doctors is not, Paris
contemporary observes, a product or
modern "feminisme." 1t seems that IN
the eighteenth century there was
lady student at Florence. She came
from Malta under the patronage OF
the knights Of the Malta. The ad-
ministrator of the Majeur hospital
was somewhat embarrassed with his
new pupil, but he found means out
of the difficulty.
The chief of the Order of the
Knights of Malta in introducing his
lady protege to the professors of the
Florence School Of Medicine wrote:
'It seems to me that the matter
could be arranged without any great
inconvenience if the young lady were
boarded during the period she was
studying at your medical school with
the nuns in neighboring convent, for
which we would pay five crowns a
week. In regard to her instruction
she should assist in operations at the
women's hospital. notably those per

After their long neglect the bodies
of the unfortunate seamen, who went
to their death on that February night
13 years ago, will find a resting place
in the Arlington National cemetery

which now thrusts its top above the

The cause of the explosion remains
unknown; in the wreck itself the en-
gineers hope to find evidence which
will explain the mystery. All their
plans, accordingly, were laid with a
view to leaving such evidence as
might exist undisturbed.
Briefly and non-technically, the plan
being used to raise the vessel is as
follows: A series Of cylinders-20 In
understanding a cofferdam, are be-
ing sunk in the water, silt and mud
around the wreck. These cylinders,
when completed, will form an egg

Co., who were agents for the Harri-
man road. had underwritten some
$30,000,000 of the Missouri Pacific
bonds.
1t was in 1909 that another of the
Gould properties passed out of the
control of that family. This was oc-
casioned when the American Tele-
graph & Telephone Co. took over the
Western Union.
An inkling as to the railroad situa-
ton was given during last summer
when the Pearson Farquhar Syndi-
cate, which had been organized for
the purpose of gaining control of the
transcontinental road, went to smash.
Among the many securities which
they held were large blocks Of Mis-
souri, Pacific and Wabash. These &c
curities were taken off their hands by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. With such a large
interest in the Gould roads it became
very evident that this banking house
would desire voice in the control of
the affairs of so valuable a property
as the Missouri Pacific. George
Gould's methods of railroad manage
ment had been discredited for many
years and when the demand was
made a few weeks ago for the list of
stockholders 1t became known at
once that the fight to GUST George
Gould was on.
Gould, however, realized the weak
ness Of his position and agreed to
present his resignation at the an,
nual meeting of the stockholders.

made a hard fight to GUST Gould, but

By his decision to build the West
ern Pacific he again incurred the dis
pleasure of Hartman, who believed
that it would injure the interests of
the Southern Pacific.
About this time considerable legis-
lakion adverse to the railroads was
enacted in several of the western
states, and on account of his lack Of
railroad training Gould was not equal
to the situation. The stocks Of his
various companies were boycotted in
Wall street on account of the meth
DDS which had characterized that end
of his business. Gould was now hard
pressed for money. His Wabash

into Texas, went into the hands of
receivers within period of one year.
He did not give up, however, but on
the contrary began a new scheme to
recuperate his properties. His first
step was to patch up his differences
with Hartman, which was accom-
plished by the arrangements of the
Western Pacific to be operated on
amicable relations with the Southern
Pacific. Another plan adopted for
raising funds was to cut off the divi-
dends from the Missouri-Pacif1c and
turn back all earnings into the COM
pany. Gould himself was not adverse

lowed was a just retribution for so
dastardly an act, if the Spaniards &C
tually committed the deed.
One feels kind Of personal inter
est in the vessel that carried the flag
for years, that figured in the national
drama so tragically. that must forever
appear in the annals OF our country
Whether or not the Spaniards were
guilty of the vessels destruction Is ex-
pected to be developed when the hulk
is uncovered.
The battleShip Maine was sunk in
Havana harbor Is years ago. The
wreck of the Maine could have been
blown up and thus disposed of at q
cost of $4,000. The Cuban govern
ment wanted to do that In order to
clear the harbor. But Uncle Sam
would not have it, and so for years a
mass of twisted iron, sentineled by a
lone turret, has grinned, skull-like, at
the passing world. Congress, aroused
finally to acton by public sentiment,
appropriated 100000 to be expended
in raising the Maine.
The Maine at the time of the explo-
sion WAS swinging with her nose to-
ward the Havana shore, and the wreck
lies in a line almost west and east,
bow and stern. The buoy to which she
was moored was about three-eighths
of mile from the west shore of the
bay. The wreck lies in about the cen
ter of the harbor.
On the 18th Of February each year
the Americans in Havana have visit
ed the wreck and decorated 1t with
