St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-02-24

By order Of Archbishop Blenk,
the Very Rev. Peter Scott,
chancellor of the diocese, has
issued the customary notice OF
Ienten regulations. These gov
ern the number of meals and
abstinence from the eating OF
flesh meat and worldly amuse-
ments during the season which
begins with Ash Wednesday and
ends with Easter.
The regulations follow:
The holy season of Lent begins
on the 21st day of February,
which is Ash Wednesday.
The obligation Of fasting dur
ing Lent is binding on all the
faithful who have completed
their twenty-first year, unless
they are dispensed from it, or
otherwise excused for some legi-
innate cause.
Only one full meal a day is
allowed, with the exception OF
Sundays.
1t is permitted to take a little
lunch, commonly called collation.,
] in the evening.
The church exempts the fol-
lowing persons from fasting:
Those who are not yet twenty
one years Of age, the sick and
those who are so weak that they
can not fast without injury to
their health, women nursing
children, and all those who are
engaged in hard labor.
The church imposes upon her
children the obligation Of fast
and abstinence during the holy
season of Lent, but would also
remind them that it is a time
when they should, in an especial
manner, practice works of piety
and charity by penance for their
sins, abstaining from worldly
amusements and by the giving
Of aims.

INTERNAL MACHINE
In EXPRESS OFFICE
Manager Busbee, at High Point,
N. c., Fatally Injured
in Explosion.

GREENSBORO. N. c., Aug. 11.-w.
NJ. Busbee, manager Of the High Point
office of the Southern Express Com
pany, was fatally injured, and his cash
Ter, L. c. Norton, badly hurt yesterday
when a package which they were hand
ling exploded with terrific force. The
package. which was about to be con-
signed to the "old hoss" heap. proved
to be an Internal machine of rather
crude, though ingenious, construction.
The package is described as an ordi-
nary looking box, bronzed with copper,
fifteen inches square. and set inside a
heavy green-painted wooden box. To
the inner box a small door was attach
ed, this being secured by a leather
hinge. When the expressmen opened
the inside door a match was lighted,
this lighting a fuse, which set OF the
explosive.
The package has been in the office for
several months. 1t was addressed to
Charles Hoover, High Point, N. c., and
was shipped from Thomasville, about
eight miles distant. No one by that
yesterday Manager Busbee started to
examine the queer package.
At Thomasville, Charles Hoover Ii
postmaster, a manufacturer, and in
nuential as a politician and business
man. The theory of the police Is that
the sender at Thomasville believed the
package would be returned to Thomas
vile from High Point and ultimately
delivered to Mr.. Hoover. Mr.. Hoover Is
said to have given valuable clue to
the police.

in Atlanta.

ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. n.-A Jack
the Ripper" whose victims, twenty IN
number during the past eighteen
months, have all been mulatto girls, Is
believed to have been captured in the
arrest of Harry Brown.
Brown, who Is a married man. con-
fessed yesterday to having killed Eva
Green aid Sarah White, two mulatto
girls. His wife gave the detectives the
information which led to his arrest.
The colUred population has been kept
in a state of terror here for the past
year ana a. half by these mysterious
murders, and Mrs. Brown told the de-
tectives that on every night on which
q girl was killed her husband came
home late. and invariably burned some
portion OF his clothing. In one or two
instances she thought she saw blood
on his clothing. She began to fear Tor
her own life. and warned the authori-
ties.
Although Brown has confessed tc
only two murders. he says. he Is famll-
lar with every murder committed re-
Gently among the colored por ulation.
and says he saw several or them. but
merely as a spectator. Holding an tin-
aginary knife. IN his hand he showed
how the girls were stabbed, and re-
called the peculiar circumstances which
marked the death of each girl. These
incidents have led the police to believe
the same person.
Physicians who have talked with
Brown say that he Is filled with a con-
suming hatred Dor mulatto girls, ELL
gendered by some wrong which one or
them is supposed to have done him.

WANTS CONGRESS
TOPROTECT CALVES
FROM EARLY DEATH
Tender-Hearted Woman Be-
lieves They Should Be AL
lowed to Grow.

Is An original and simple method for re-
ducing the high cost of living, that has
puzzled legislators and economists for
80 long, has been brought to the atten-
ton Of The Times. 1t comes from a
woman. one of the original members of
the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals, who would have
Congress enact a law prohibiting the
killing of young calves.
IF you will walk along the market
any morning." said the woman, 'you
will see any number of little calves,
only a few months old, being sold to the
butchers. There is not much more meat
sized chicken. Now, II they were al
lowed to grow a couple of years they
would be worth ten times their present
value, and the country would be sup
piled with more than ten times the
amount of meat now on the market"
IL think 1t should be law" she con-
tinued," that calves under a certain age
must not be butchered. Not only would
such a plan greatly reduce the price OF
manitarian standpoint to kill such small
calves as are now being sold to the
butchers"
She said she had not yet brought the
matter before the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, but she
expects 10 do so at an early date. prob
ably at the next meeting of the soci-
ETY.. When she gets the society behind
the movement, and she thinks that will
be easy to do, she hopes to bring the
matter before Congress and believes II
II Is properly presented that nobody
cannot fail to see the wisdom of such
an enactment.

harvest conditions and reviving industry
are held to be favorable to President
Tart, on the theory that one should

iority OF persona regard him as horo-
lessly outclassed in the race.
Strong Points In the Situation.
II Wall Street had nothing but the
harvests and the betterment of indus
trial conditions to consider. there can
be no little doubt that the stock market
would be booming. As It is, however.
prices are well maintained and in view
of political uncertainties and what the
financial district chooses to call social
istic and anarchistic tendencies, the un-
derlying strength must be regarded an
a considerable accomplishment. 1t ii
quite true that the output OF pig iron
for July fell to the lowest total since
March, and that the surplus supplies
OF copper for the same interval In
creased nearly 100000 pounds, but
these can scarcely be regarded as fore
shadowing industrial reaction, for OF =
ders for finished steel products are well
maintained and prices are destined
for further advances, and the copper
surplus resulted from heavy increased
production, not decreased consumption.
Untitled orders for steel of 5,957, ,07s tons
standing on the books Of the United
states Steel Corporation on July 81, ss
reported saturday, show an increase of
l49, 1888 tons for the month, which indi-
cate no setback.

the favorable condition OF cereals and

crops urquestionably are the great sus-

on Trust Affairs.

The House has concluded for this ses-
sion its discussion Of the Stanley steel
report, and the antitrust bills proposed
by the members of the committee will
go over until next session.
Congressman Gardner, McGilIicuddy,
and Jackson OF Kansas discussed the
report Of the Stanley committee at a
three-hour session Friday night, and the
former voiced demand that Colonel
Roosevelt explain definitely where he
stood on the trust question.
Mr.. Gardner said he was unable 70
tell whether the colonel favored recog.
milton or dissolution, as he had mad.
connecting utterances on the question.
Claims Two Views Held.
Congressman Gardner. who is chiei
spokesman for the minority, said:
THE Progressive platform Is inter-
preted by dissolutionIsts as calling for
dissolution. and by recognitionists as
calling for recognition OF the trusts"
Before Congressman McGillicuddy, e
Democratic, member OF the committee,
obtained the floor and roundly de-
nounced the Steel trust, Mr.. Gardner
spoke for more than an hour in ex-
position of the views of the minority
Of the Stanley steel investigating com
mittee.
For twenty years. he said, the country
has been marking time on the question
of the trusts. neither dissolving them
nor yet recognizing them. The time had

the city of Washington, is given III

served in the Revolutionary war, and
at its close he became Interested IN the
engineering plans of the new govern

plan for laying out the new city. I'm
fortunately he was the victim Of petty

Digges, of Prince George County,
Maryland, and accepted his protection
till death opened it's doors to him.
Several years ago, insistent voices OF
men who love the city of Washington
succeeded in having Congress pay LIN
fant belated honor, though the day
for Justice had passed, and his body
was brought to the rotunda Of the
Capitol. Great men, from President
Taft to Ambassador Jusserand of
France, and an immense gathering OF
American and French citizens, went
there to pay their respects to the mem
ory of l. 'Enfant.
Republics may be ungrateful, but not
forever. Though they may neglect
their living great men in the short pc,

surely come when they will tender the
"immortal crown of cypress diamond
studded with tears of repentance. So
we remembered l. 'Enfant. After the
high tribute paid to him under the
dome of the Capitol, his remains were
conveyed to Arlington, and given the
place of supreme honor in that ceme-
terry where our greatest are honored.

there to witness the unveiling of his
tomb, on the table-like top of which is
engraved his design of the city of
