LENTEN SEASON Begins Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday Rules Governing Same as Given by Bishop Alerding of This Diocese. The Lenten season begins tomorrow and will be observed by the ' members of the St. Marys Catholic ; church: The regulations issued by Bishop j Alerding for the Fort Wanye diocese I are as follows: “In accordance with faoultes granted by the Holy See, dated August 3, 1887 the following are the regulations |for L nt for the diocese of Fort Wayne: 1. All the faithful over twenty one and under sixty years of age, ) are unless legitimately dispensed, bound to observe the fast of Lent. 2. They are to take only one full meal a day, Sundays excepted, i 3. The full meal allowed on fast; days should be taken about noon. , But if for any good reason, the principal meal cannot be taken at noon, it is permitted to take the eolation in the morning, and to! put off the full meal till evening. 4. Both tish and flesh are not to be used at the same time, not even I on Sundays. 5. A refreshment, commonly! called a collation is allowed in the evening. No general rule as to the quantity of food permitted at this ' time is or can be made: but the j practice of the most regular Chris ' tian is never to let it exceed one . fourth of an ordinary meal.

6. On account of the existence' lof such custom, the church tullerates the use of I read, butter, eggs, | ! cheese, milk and all kinds of fruits, salads vegetables and fish at a collation. 7. For the same reason it is permitted to take in the mornng some I warm liquid as tea. coffee, or thin chocolate, wiith a little milk, and a cracker or a small piece of bread. 8. Neeessty and custom have' ' authorized the use of lard instead 'of butter in preparng tish, vegetables, etc. 9. By dispensation the use of flesh meat is allowed at anj- time , jon Sundays, and once a day on 1 Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and j ! Saturdays, excepting the second and last Saturdays of Lent. 10. The following are exempt for j the obligation of fasting: Those under twenty one and those over sixty years of age, the sick, preg ’ nant and nursing women, those who are obliged to labor hard, and all those who, through weakness, can 1 fast without injury to their health. 11. Persuns dispensed from the ' obligation of fastng are not bound • by the restriction of using meat at only one meal on days on which its use is grant<-d by dispensation. 12. By virtue of an indult of the i Holy See. dated March 15, 1895, for I a period of ten years, to the bishops of the Uniitod States, we grant to all laborers, and their families, who find it really difficult to oliserve the

laws of abstinence.*, the permission to use flesh meat on all days of abstinence throughout the year, with the exception of all Fridays, i Ash Wednesday, Wednesday and Saturday of Holy Week and Christ mas eve. Those who are bound to I fast may use meat at one meal only. The prohibition of using fish and flesh meat at the same, time also remains in force. Those., however, who avail themselves of this dispensation should do some i □♦her initial’ work such as reciting additional prayers. The Rosary., for example., abstaining from intoxicating drinks, from the use of I tobacco, foregoing pleasures,amusements etc. We recommend that the faithful if at all possible, observe the rigorous fast at least on , Good Friday. The Paschal time. during which every jaacticul Oathis oblighed to confess his -ins anil receive Roly communion, exonds from the first Bunday in Lent to Trinity Bunday, both iDnltxlod. "In thi» >h.j<ese the Fri-

I days as Advent aie no fast days. The annual collection for the Indiana and Negro missions is to be taken up on the first Sunday in lent A plenary indulgence is granted by the holy father to all who contribute if they receive worthily the Sacraments of Pennance and the Blessed Eucharist, on the Sunday on which the collection is made, and offer prayers accord- | ing to his intention.

A GOOD OMEN, THIS Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Make a Most Creditable Showing. NEW YORK, Feb. 12—In the I face of the general depression in ) financial circles and the shrinkage in industrial and other securities no better evidence of the general ' prosperity of the country and the thrift of the people could he given jt : 'an is contained in the recent statement of the Metropolitan Life ■ j insurance company. Ths company shows a great gain in assets and I notwithstanding market depression , a handsome gain in surplus. It | issued in 1903, <398,889,074 of new insurances—a larger amount than, that issued by any company in the i 'world. It has done this for the. last ten years. It has 7,523,915 ‘ policies in force which is a larger number than is held by all the I other regular life insurance companies in America put together,) less one; equivalent to policies on j one tenth of the total population jof the United States, greater than I the combined population of twenty nine states and territories, for, as the reports puts it, greater than ) the combined population of Greater I New York. Chicago, Philadelphia, I Boston and St. Louis. When one I realizes that an average of one I out of every ten human beings, men, women and children one passes on the street is insured in the Metropolitan Life, the wide spread beneficence of this great company can be appreciated. The I income of the Metropolitan Life in 1903 was <49,887,804.11, and it paid , out to policy holders and added to its reserve fund <985,82.76, every ) business day of the past year. The company now holds assets of <105,-' 65t5.311.60 for the benefit of its policy holders and a reserve fund consisting of capital and surplus over and above liabilityof <106,918,00. The success of the Metropolitan has been so great that it recently announced a special dividend which will amount to about <600,000, in addition to over four and a half millions paid in the past seven ) years, to certain classes of policy i holdres who had continued with the company, a dividend not nominated in the insurance contract and which is a windfall of the policy holders. The growth of this oom- , pany form <63.000,000, in 1883 to <1,342.381,457 of insurance in force in 1903 is one of the wonders of the i. - , insurance world.

A HOUSE SENSATION Unseating of Mr. Shafroth Marked by Striking Scene. I " Washington. Feb. 16.— Involuntarily relinquishing his seat as a inerber of the house of representatives. Mr. > Shafroth. of the First district of Colorado, furnished a profound sensation. The manly and earnest words ot the Colorado member fairly took the breath of the house as he proceeded o CONGRESSMAN SHAFROTH. to put the first case on record in that i body where a member gave up his seat, acknowledging that his election had been tainted by fraud. For this fraud, Mr. Shafroth declared he was not in any way responsible nor was he aware that it had been perpetrated until the evidence had been adduced before the elections committee of the house, it was not done, he said, for the purpose of causing his elec- ' tion. As he announced the conclusion of eight years service in this manner, most unsatisfactory to himself, his voice betokened the emotion he felt. The hush which spread over the floor and galleries when the purport of his . remarks was realized became almost painful. But when he sat down with words of thanks on his lips for the treatement he had received from his | colleagues on both sides of the chatnj her. applause burst forth and contin--1 ued long and heartily. Following the I suggestion of Mr. Shafroth in his i speech to the house, the proper resolution for his unseating and the seating of Mr. Bonynge was drawn up and this was agreed to with silent assent.

THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. RELY ON HYOMEI Cares Colds, Coughs, Catarrh and Grip. —Just Breathe It. Hyomei is nature’s own method for curing catarrh, colds, coughs and disei.s *s of the respiratory organs. It is the only natural treatment fur the ! cure of these troubles. Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, the air that passes into the throat and lungs, is identical with that on the mountains, where it is laden with healing and health giving balsams. It searches out and kills disease germs in the most remote and mii nute air cells of the head, throat and lungs, it soothes and heals all irrita . tion of the mucous membrane. Hyomei is prescribed by physicians generally. Many of them use it themselves to break up a cold and prevent pneumonia. The complete Hyomei outfit consists of a neat inhaler, that is so small and convenient that it can be carried in the pocket or purse, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. This costs but <l, and it will cure any ordinary case of catarrh. In chronic and deep seated conditions, longer use is necessary and extra Ixittles of Hyomei can be i obtained for 50c , making it a most ; economical treatment for this dis I ease. Holthouse Drug Company have Iso much confidence in the jiower of Hyomei to cure catarrh and other diseases of the throat and lungs that they sell it under their personal guar , antee to refund the money to any purchaser in case it fails to give satisi faction. They take all the risk themj selves, and Hyomei costs you abso | lately nothing unless it does vou good
