LENT. Forty Day Period to be Observed by Many Churchmen Is a Period of Penance and Fasting For Episco? palians and Catliollcs. On laid Wcdn?cday, March 4, kpown in religious circles, as Ash Wednesday the time of penance and preparation known as Lent began and the day was obstrved with Atting and appro? priate service in the Episcopal and Catholic churches. Lent continues for a period of forty days and it is observed as a time when the devout abstain from the worldly pleasures. Good Friday falls on April 17th and Easter Sunday on April 19th. A well known churchman in dis? cussing Lent recently said: 'I And there Is a good deal of ig? norance you might say, in regard to the real meaning of certain feast and sacred days in connection with Lent. As this period is near at hand I have heard many questions which prove that I am right in my assertion. For instance, the observance of Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. What is really meant by shrove, shriven rather, is confessing and is the com? mencement of time for confession ex? tending over tho period of forty days before Easter. "In England ths day was observed by cook fighting, hall playing, bull bating, and In some countries it is a time for pancakes and frltaers, which gavs It the name of Pancake Tues? day. Tho carnival is observed on that day known to be nothing more than the continuation of a heathon feast observed by Old Romans, which the church unable to eliminate, was forced to preserve in connection with the observance of Lent. The idea of feasting and reveling to such an extent before the sudden cessation of worldly pleasures has never been approved by the beat churchmen, but custom has brought it down through the centuries. It is gradually and surely being eliminat? ed, however, for tho Christian world, and the time will come, I believe, when there will be no more Mardl Ores celebrations m the United Ststes. ??Ash Wednesday derives Its name from the custom of ths Catholic cer? emony in strewing ashes on ths head as an act of penitence. The present custom is for ths priest to sprinkle sshes on the hsad of each penitent while he says m Latin, 'Remember, man, thou art dust and shall return to dust.' This observance is not used In the Episcopal church which, how? ever, regards it as a soared day. Many people cannot understand when Easter should come. The 40 days of Lent is patterned after the fast ob? served by Christ before His crucifix? ion and it was observed by Moses and Elijah In their fasting. "Ash Wednesday comes on the 4th of March this year and Easter, April l Ith, Just 47 days later, which, ex? cluding tho Sundays, makes It 40 days. Perm Sunday cornea tho Sun? day before Lent and it la the com? memoration of Christ's triumphal en? try into Jerusalem when the peopla spread pal mi in His path and shout? ed 'Hoeenna.' During that week crimes good Friday, the the day of Christ's crucifixion, the most sacred day In church observance and then comes the dsy of resurrection, when all tho world came from its gloom and Christ rose from thA dead trium? phs nt over death and oln. "With the exception of the CathVlo and Episcopal churches, these days are not observed as the other church? es claim that here Is no direction given In Script?ire for such celebra? tions, the only . ..e being the positive command to observe the Sabbath day and to thorn everv Sunday is Easter, or the celebration of the resurrec? tion."

Proposition to Cut Wages of Em? ployes Reported Withdrawn. Florence, March 5.?It is reported here, and the News and Courier cor? respondent has been reliably inform? ed, that the proposed reduction in wages of all employes on the At? lantic Coast Line railroad, whereb) the former scale of wages, In etlet en co about one year ago, vould be reestablished owing to the great fall? ing off In business has be-in recalled and th?re will oe no cut ot all. It will he remembered that in re arouse to a request from Third Vice Presiden: John A Kenly re presents lives of the various labor organiza? tions on this system were summoned to Wilmington ?ome two week* ago to me?* Mr. KeroV for the purpose of discussing the matter in regard to the ve:;erdl depression and falling off ot business on the Coast Line wilt a vitw of cuttir.g wag<?s to the extent of reestablishing the scales of pay that existed about one year ago, which meant a cut of about 10 per cent In all wages. The various oom mitteemen went to Wilmlng.on and af? ter disc'using the, matter with Mr. Kenly returned tb their hordes and took up the matter with their re? spective divisions, but nothing defi? nite had come of their work, and tho matter was still hanging Are in all branches. The order Issued from Wilmington this week informs the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi? neers and the Order of Railway Con? ductors that the entire matter at re? duction in wages was called oft. and things Would remain as they are. Th other labor organisations, it Is stated, will be not!led at once so that there will be no further action necessary. White there will be no reduction in wages of the men employeJ in the various rhops throughout the Const Line system, yet there has been a re? duction in hours for them which prac? tically makes s cut of ahnu: 10 per cent or nr.ore. Up to December 1 the men were working ten hours per day. They were thru cut, in nine hours per day. Beginning .vesterday they were cut to eight hour i per day, and it is stated that they will not be allowed to make any over time Men who were making M P?*r day before the cut uro only making $2.40 now and others are cut in the same manner.

Assailant Killed After Wounding ihe Official and Two Others. Chicago, March 2.?Chief of Police George M. Shippy, attached ins his home, 31 Lincoln place, early today by Lazarus Averbuch, a P.uisian stu? dent, shot and killed the latter, but not until his assailant had stabbed the chief in the arm, had .-hot and seriosuly wourded Harry Shippy. a son, and had wounded James Foley, a member of the police department, detailed as driver for Chief Shippy. The younger Shippy, who was believ? ed at fiffct tc have been mortally Injured by two bullet wounds in thJ breast, was said at a late hour to? night to have a good chance of re? covery. Neither of the other men were seriously hurt. The Identity of the assassin, who was killed by a shot through the head, was learned late tonight from his sister Olga, with whom he had lived for three weeks at the home of Mrs, Harry Pine, 218 Wash burn avenue, in the western portion of the city. Averbuch had been in America only three months, having come from Australia, whither he fled from Kfclney two years ago to escape the persecution of the Jews in that city. Through Information received from his alster and from a fellow employe in a produce commission house whore Averbuch had been recently employ? ed, the police were able to trace Av exbuch's movements and learned the views he held. It was learned that Chief Shippy's interference several weeks ago with a parade of unemployed men. headed by "Dr." Ben. L. Reitman, coupled with the more recent announcement that Emma Goldman will net be al? lowed to speak in public in Chicago, lead thd man to take tho chief's life in terrorist fashion. The attack i* believed to have been the result of a conspiracy to harm officials who have been active in sup? pressing manifestations of anarchy in this community. Other city officials are said to have /been threatened und a' police spy who recognised the corpse of the man who invaded Ship? py's home as that of a, person who regularly attended anarchist meetings, asserted that the man was chosen by lot to do away with not only the chief of police, but Mayor Busse as well. The ramifications of the plot are said to extend to other cities and to be closely connected with the kill? ing of the Rev. Leo Heinrich, a Ro? man Catholic priest who wns shot down at the altar of his church m Denver. ? i Harry Shippy was shot through the breast twice. His father was stabbed In the arm, while Foley received a bullet In tho wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked by the desperado, but her hurts are slight. / DESIRES INFORMATION.

Senator A Id rich suggested that there were other places besides New York where st?ck gambling is prac? ticed. Mr. Tillman said he would be glad to hava the same Information from all places where there are stock ex? changes. "I am willing to let it go over," he added, "to see what s-pecial inteivsts are jeopardized." Consideration of the resolution was postponed.
