Postmaster General Hitchcock has announced that the government will discontinue the printing of 'stamped envelopes and recomnicndz that the same be done by the local newspapers and by special permit for the towns nearest the newspaper where a town has no paper of its own. ito large town will have a monopoly on the printing of the envelopes to the detri­ ment of the smaller newspapers. A uniform scale of prices will be prepared by the po6toffice department and insisted upon or the newspaper will not be sold stamped envelopes for printing. The scale of prices will be such that a reasonable profit can b© made by the office printing them. The department will also soon make a rul­ ing that no first class mail will be allowed transmission thru the mails until it has a return card written or printed thereon. The above means that the envelope printing business will take a big boom soon, which is sure to continue. The order relating to the printing of envelopes is a correction for an evil of long standing and against which the newspapers thruout the country have fought for many years,' for the reason that the price charged for envelopes was less than the stock could be pur­ chased by the printers and the rate charged was such that a profit on the printing could not have been made by the government. Hundreds of millions of stamped envelopes printed by the government are used annually th XI1 UUUll the country and the contemplated change will be greeted with pleasure by every printer and publisher.

"A Romance of Missouri" by the Empire Stock Co. of McHenry is the next attraction at the Central Satur­ day and Sunday, Feb. 25 and 20. Pastors of the various Catholic churches in McHenry and vicinity and thruout the diocese have received the Lenten regulations prepared by Bishop Quigley for guidance of his people dur­ ing the season of fasting and abstinence commencing March 1, and continuing until Easter Sunday, April 16. The rules and regulations as pro­ mulgated will be read in all the churches of the diocese next Sunday. They lOuuw* Rev. Dear Father--Please announce to your people on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday the following Lenten regulations: All days of Lent from Ash Wednes­ day to Easter Sunday, Sundays except­ ed, are fast days of obligation for all the faithful who have attained their 21st year and are not otherwise law­ fully dispensed. The sick, the very poor, pregnant women and those nursing infants and in general all who, because of old age, weakly constitutions or hard labor, cannot fast without detriment to their health are exempt from fasting. Those exempted from fasting are not restrict­ ed in the use of meat on days when it is allowed by dispensation at the prin­ cipal meal. Those obligated to fast are restricted to one full me£l in the day, which should not- ordinarily be taken before noon, and to a collation not exceeding the fourth part of an ordinary meal in the evening, tho the use of some warm drink such as tea, coffee or chocolate, with a small piece of bread in the morning, is authorized. Abstinence from flesh meat implied in the precept of fasting is, in this diocese, dispensed with on Sunday without restriction and at principal meals on all other days except Wed­ nesdays, Fridays and Saturdays in Em­ ber week and Holy week. The use of fish with flesh meat is forbidden at the sftme meal, even on Sundays in Lent. Lard, the fat rendered from any kind of meat, may be used in prepar­ ing food on all days during Lent and on all days of fast and abstinence thru­ out the year. The above dispensations from the general laws were granted by an in- dult of-the Apostolic see, Aug. 3, 1887, and subsequently renewed. You will also please explain to your people the dispensations also from the law of abstinence, in favor of working- men, granted in an indult of the Holy see, March 15, 1895, and renewed Feb. 25, 1905. By virtue of this indult workingmen and their families are permitted to use flesh meat once a day on all fast and abstinence days thruout the year ex­ cept Friday, Ash Wednesday, Wednes­ day and Saturday in Holy week and the Vigil of Christ. Those availing themselves of this in­ dult are not allowed to use fish and flesh meat at the same time. It is the earnest desire of the Holy see and ours as well, that they perform some other act of mortification, such as abstaining from intoxicating liquors, or making a visit to the Blessed sacrament. You will please announce to your congregation the collection for the negro and Indian missions and the propagation of the faith which will be taken up the first Sunday in Lent. The collection for the Holy Places in Palestine will be taken up at the services on Good Friday. Lent begins next Wednesday. On this day the people come to the churches for the ceremonies of the blessed ashes. Particles of the dust from burned palms are blessed and applied to the heads of the faithful with the words reminding them of the origin of their bodies from dust and the final return to the earthly state after death. Lent extends thru the forty days be­ tween Ash Wednesday and Easter Sun­ day. Sundays that fall within that time are not properly called days of Lent. The time is set apart as the Christian observation of the forty days' fast of Christ in the desert. The faith­ ful are expected to deny themselves of all forms of amusement for this period out of respect for the fast of their Mas­ ter and in preparation for the coming observation of the agony and death of Christ. Fasting and prayers form the principal acts of piety. RESOLUTIONS.

' The sacred concerts at St. Mary's Saturday and Sunday evenings were fairly well attended, altho they de­ served much larger audiences. The concerts were the first of the kind ever given in this village and considering the material that the church choir had to work with the entertainments were exceptionally good, each and eVery number being in perfect harmony with the nature of the event and well re­ ceived by those present.
