GAznrrs‘s BUREAU, :-
709 EAST CAPITOL STREET,
WASHINGTON, MARCH, 2. )
DEAR GAZETTE: — To-day dawned
bright and sunny and the gaily decora-
ted city is already becoming crowded
with inaugural visitors. The several
railroads give out an estimate of 225,000
strangers as likely to be here by Thurs-
day. Yesterday the roads began pour-
ing this tremendous multitude into
town, and with the holiday appearance
of the streets and buildings,the city be-
came fairly alive to the fact that a great
event is at hand. President-elect Mc-
Kinley reached the city this noon. and
a few hours later Vice President-elect
Hobart, and from this time on, special
trains will pour soldiers, clubs,and pri-
vate citizens into the National Capital
t very hour of the day and night until
noon of March 4.
o o o
Troop A of Cleveland, arrived this
morning with its four hundred superb
black horses and is to serve as the
President’s body guard. All trains in-
to the city arrive in sections. The
trains from New York and New Eng-
land are especially crowded.
o o
This evening President Cleveland
and Mrs. Cleveland will entertain Ma-
jor McKinley and his wife at dinner.
It is purely a private function, and
there will be no other guests.
0 o o
' The Pension building has been deco:
rated with unprecedented elaboration
and magnificence for the Inaugural
ball. Mr. Bright J. Moses, the hus-
band of Miss Minno Hoyt of Arch street
and well known in Norwalk, is to be
one. of the ticket sellers at the ball.
0 o o '
President Cleveland is and has been
intensely busy the past few days, never-
theless he found time to veto two wid-
ow’s pensions. He had an attack of
rheumatism yesterday, but stuck to
his work with stubborn fortitude. He
expects to sail with Mr. Benedict on
the latter’s yacht to the Bermudas as
soon as released from ofice.
o o o .4
Retiring Secretary Thurber and the
incoming secretary, J. Addison Porter,
are busy together at the White House
over books and accounts. A new set of
books to start with have been obtained,
and the Government Printing Office
has sent down such new blanks for com-
missions of new office-holders and the
likens need the namevof William Mc-
Kinley substituted for that of Grover
Cleveland.

' LENT BEGINS T0-DAY.

Bishop Tierney Prescribes How it Should
. Be Observed by Catholics.

Bishop Tierney has issued a circular
to the priests of his diocese, containing
the following regulations for the ob
servance of Lent.

(1.) All the week days of Lent are
fasting days of obligation on one meal
only; custom, however, has authorized
the use of a slight collation in the even-
ing and a cup of tea or cofi'ee,etc.,in the
morning. 'l‘nough the fast also implies
abstinence. yet by dispensation the use
of flesh meat is allowed at all times on
Sundays, and at the principal meal on
Mondays, Tuesday, '1 oursdaj s, and
Saturdays, except the second and last
Saturdays of Lent.

(2.) A long-established custom has
tolerated the use of eggs, butter and
cheese at the collation, provided the
laws of quantity be observed.

(3) Besides lard, the fat rendered
from any kind of meat may be used on
any day in Lent, and this dispensation
is extended to the days of abstinence
and fast days throughout the year.

’ (4.) Flesh and fish are not allowed at
the some meal, even on Sundays.

(5.) Women, pregnant or nursing,
the sick, the aged and feeble, children
under 21 years of age whose; work is of
a laborious or exhausting character, are
excused from the obligations of fasting,
and may use flesh meat more than once
on the days when it is allowed, but
must abstain on Wednesdays, Fridays,
and the second and last Saturdays.

(6 ) By virtue of a late Indult of the
Holy See, working maple and their
families are permitted the use of flesh
meat on all the days of Lent, except
Fridays, Ash Wednesdayand Wednes-
day and Saturday of Holy Week. This
dispensaton, however, allows the use of
meat but once a day to those who are
obliged to fast.

(7;) The faithful should be reminded
that they enjoy these dispensations by
the favor of the Holy See, and that even
the use of meat on Saturdays through-
out the year is not according to the
common law of the church, but a re-
laxation of its rigor demanding on their
part a corresponding increase of "zeal
and charity. .

The usual evening exercises of Lent,
consisting of the Rosary of the Blessed
Virgin or Stations of the Cross, Sermon,
and Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment, are recommended.

You will exert every effort to inspire
your people with a penitential spirit,
urging them to fly from sin and its oc-
casion, particularly to abstain from in-
toxicating drink, and to consecrate this
holy season to prayer, charity, works of
piety, and the frr quentation of the sac-
raments. without which the observance
of the fast would be of little profit.

“Cock Robin.”

' Everybody knows that poor Cock
Robin was killed by the Sparrow. In
Palmer Cox’s new book “Coon ROBIN”
he asksthe question—“Who will be the
parson, with faith and trust?” and is
answered by one of Cock Robin’s
mourners. who said:

”I,” said the rock, “will read
from my book.
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.”

The’ rest of the sad tale of Cock Rob-
in’s death and burial, and the punish-
ment of the sparrow who shothim with
his bow and arrow. is told in “COCK
ROBIN.” This book and three others,
“BUSY BROWNIES,” “FUNNY Foxes,”
and “BIBD’s WEDDING,” mailed free
on receipt of 10c. See advertisment in

Released on a Cash Bond.

Robert Cronk was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Miller of Stamford yesterday,
and brought to Norwalk this morning
where he is wanted on the charge of
obtaining $10 from Minor D. Randall

programme of exercises other than culi.
nary were presented including club
swinging by Miss Mamie Dunn and
dancing by nearly all. Those in at-
tendance speak of the affair as a grand
sucress. -

 

Compiling a History.

“John Rodemeyer,Jr.,is compiling a
history of Canaan. ”—Danbury Dispatch.

What John don’t know about the
town of his birth and its wealthy widows
isn’t worth the knowing. Like Dan-
bury. Canaan is a beautiful place in
summer, and has a history that will be
perpetuated by the facile pen of Mr.
Rodemeyer provided he sets the facile
pen in motion.

 

 

Sense About Circulation.

Mere volumn of circulation is no cri‘
terion of value for advertising purposes.
It is the influence which the paper
wields, and. the social strata in which it
consequently circulates, or, in‘ other
words, the character of its circulation,
which is the true test of usefulness so
far as advertisers are concerned—New
York Sun. ' .

 

AFTER THE muaosnsas.

 

chief Vollmer Goes to Albihy wuh‘a Re-

' quisition from Gov‘.‘,Ccokc.

AMUSEHENTS.

Fields and Hanson.

Foremost in the list of road attrzz -
tions is Fields and Hanson’s “Drawing
Cards,” which is the magnet Manager
Hoyt offers to draw a large attendence
to Hoyt’s Theatre, next Saturday, mati-
nee and night. This company is said
to have no equal as far as collective
merit goes, as the individual artists’
varied abilities are too well known to
need‘lengthy mention. Matinee prices
10 and 25 cents.

The Twelve Temptations.

Charles H. Yale’s magnificent pro-
duction, “The Twelve Temptations,”
which will be seen atHoyt’s Theatre on
Monday, March 8, is thus described by
the Boston Herald:

“Charles H. Yale’s entirely new pro-
duction of a spectacle made famous
many years ago, was presented at the
Columbia last night in its new dress
and before an audience that literally
packed this beautiful theatre. It is
really, in point of ballets, scenery and
specialties, well Worth the stage of a
Boston Theatre. The scenery was not
only effective, .but magnificently paint-
ed, of which there is at least one dozen
different sets. The ballets were not
only novel and magnificently costumed,
but were in the hands of a corps of
dancers who knew how to dance. The
dramatic company was far above the
usual class of dramatic people that are
found in such productions, while the
specialties,with which the piece abounds
were morethan out of the ordinary.
Taking the performance as a whole, it
can truthfully be said that it is one of
the strongest spectacular productions
that Mr. Yale has yet given Boston,
and will rank as the largest and costli-
est thing seen upon the Columbia
stage.”

John L. Sullivan.

A fairly good audience attended the
perfbrmance of Sullivan’s Extravaganza
company, at Hoyi’s Theatre last night.
The old veteran was received with
rounds of applause upon making his
appearance, showing that the champion
of champions still has a warm place in
the hearts of his admirers. His com-
pany was an excellent one, the special-
ties being of a high order, especially
the trapeze performance of the Orvilles.
The ex-champion has gafliered about
him some excellent musicians and spec-
ialty performers, but the course re-
marks of one of the “Knockabouts,”
both in the drawing-room scene and
while doing his turn, could be omitted
to advantage. All in all it was a most
enjoyable entertainment and will prove
a money maker for John L.

Cuban flea-dare to Meet.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3.——An impor-
tant conference of the Cuban leaders in
this country will be held within a few
days after the inauguration of President

a policy to be conducted toward the new

ings with Cu),an affairs. The date of the

has the place of meeting been decided up-
on. It is likely that it will be held in this

Chicago and other points west, from Bes-
ton, New York, Washington and from the
Florida towns. Minister Estrada Palms.
will be present and preside over the pro-

faires of the Cuban legation at Washing-
ton, and General [Julio Sanguilly, a few
days ago released from Morro castle.

 

May Take? Lee’s Place.
CHICAGO, March 3.-—The Rev. B. S.
Martin, pastor of the Western Avenue
Methodist church here, who has some

teams as a “fighting person,” will, his

friends say, be appointed to succeed Gen-
eral Fitz Hugh Lee as consul general at
Havana.

W. E. Mann, a member of the Western
Avenue church, said today that he knew
the position had been offered to Mr. Mar-
tin, who had the letter making the offer
in his pocket. Mann says Martin told him
he would go.

The Rev. Mr. Martin is" a. personal
friend of Major McKinley and visited him
three weeks ago. He has positive views on
the Cuban question and favors giving the
Cubans independence. Mr. Martin re-
fused to say anything about the offer of
the consulship. ’
