February 28 is Ash Wednesday, and
Easter falls on the 15th of April. Reg
ulatiotus for Lenten observance will not
differ materially from those read from
the pulpits on former years. The rules
prescribe fast and abstinence. Sun
days are privileged days except that
fish and flesh may not appear at the
same meal. Meat or fish is allowed at
the principal meal except on Wednes.
days and Fridays, the Saturday ;of Em.
ber week, March 10, and the Saturday
of Holy week, April 14.
. On other days one square meal is al.
lowed, but without mneat, either at
noon or at night, a chocolate or tea
with a bit of bread, not more than
two ounces of solid food, for breakfast,
and not more than one-fourth of a real
t meal at noon or evening collation,
From the duty of fasting, however,
are exempted young persons and the
aged, tomen nourishing children and
invalids, and in the United States
workingmen and such others as the
t purish priests or confessors may deem
exempt by special conditions. Where
the rule of fasting is relaxed some
equivalent self-denial is urged, partio.
ularly the giving up of intoxicants.
These are the general rules laid down
by the Catholic church and are ob
served by the oonmmunicants of the par
ish in this community. The religious
duty of fasting is urged upon all faith
fuI and the duty of keeping the church
in respect of all other obligations is es
pecially urged.
A FIRE IN CITY JAIL.
Colored Prisoner Nets Fire to lied Clothes
and is NeaIrly Sufflocated.
..Oeas. Cartwright is the name of a
a colored man, woo but for the timely
a arrival of the officers would be a dead
o, tan today, and as it is he is what one
e might term a "smoked coon." He was
i- arrested Sunday evening by Policeman
r Corle for drunkenness and s~ortly after
9 being co ned in the cit oil set fire to

e thick smoke. Another attempt was
it made and the negro was found on the
a floor unconscious from the effects of in
haling the smoke. Had the officers
a been two minutes later it would hove
a been too late for his relief, and as it
was it took several minutes to revive
a him.
S OCartwright was taken before Justice
a Fraser yesterday to answer to a charge
r of destroying jail property, to which he
if pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
.ixty, days in the county jail. He is
still feeling bad effects from his folly
y of Sunday evening with a pair of very
d more lungs.

TO STOP ANTELOPE KILLING.
Lgislatures Are Asked to Pass a Law to
This Effect.
A dispatch from New York, dated
Feb. 14, says: Officers of the League
of American Sportsmen met in this city
today. There were twenty-two mem
bers present and ten states were repre
sented. A resolution was adopted pe.
titioning the legislatures of Montana,
Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah
to pass a law prohibiting for ten years
the killing of the prong-horned an
telope. The resolution sets forth that
the slaughter of these animals will
soon exterminate them, and extols the
beauty of the antelope and the need of
a stringent law to prevent further kill
ing. Copies of the resolution will be
sent to all the states mentioned.
CLARA THROPP COMING. *
Will Again Visit Billings in "A Remedy
for Divorce."
On Friday evening, that dainty little
actress Clara Thropp, supported by a
strong company, will produce Victorien
Sardou's refined comedy, "A Remedy
for Divorce." Miss Thropp will be
well remembered as the central figure
in "A Doll's House," which was given
here last year, and of her capabilities
as an artist little is needed to be said to
those who saw her in her former visit
to Billings. Sardou's fame as a plr'y
wright is world wide, and in this di
version from tragedy he has proved his
versatility of imagination and shown a
delicate sense of humor that has made
his comedy a decided hit. It is clean
and wholesome and Miss Thropp gets
all the finest shades of meaning from
the lines without offense to the most
sensitive ears. The play as given by
Miss Thropp has been one of the notable *
stage successes, and it is safe to believe
that she will meet with a good and
ience in Billings.
