SERYJB HISTORY RITES Trinity Church Seat of Greatest Leu. ten Celebration in Country. V New York, March 1 .Today, Asn Wednesday, marks the beginning: or Lent, when social gaTties give place to a season of fasting and prayer ror forty days. . Lent had its prefiguring in the forty days of temptation of Christ in the wilderness, as well as In the fasts of Moses and Ellas. It is a season of great antiquity Ash Wednesday 1b so called because In the Roman Catholic church It be gins with the solemn .ceremony that has1 given the day its name. After a supplicatory s;rvlce, the devout ap proach the altar rail and the priest places ashes on the head of each, re citing in Latin, "Remember, man, that thou art dist, and shalt return to dust." The aahes are customarily ob tained by burning thr palms of the previous year. The Lenten season is strictly ob bcivcu in ui u.(jiocopai uuu uiiiet' m uallstlc churches as well as In the Roman Catholic church. Special ser vices ar- designated for Ash Wednes day, Holy Week, Good Friday, Palm Sunday, and ending with the grand triumphant service on Easter Sunday. Lent Is also the season of the con firmation classes, when those wno Boon propose to take th?ir format stand as church members attend class es of instruction and prepare for the visitation of the bishop. It is also a season of giving, especially in the Sunday schoolB. Trinity Church, at the head of Wail Stre:t, in this city, seats 900, but dur ing the forty days of Lent, and In cluding 'Easter Day, the attendance usually exceeds 50,000, the largest number,, by fap, attending any Ameri can churcH during a similar' period. The unusually large attendance Is at tributed to the extraordinarily suc cessful noonday services, which pac the church to its door's during the Lenten period. Preachers for tncso services this year are Bishop Gallor. of Tennessee, Bishop McCormlck, a Michigan, Bishop Tuttle, of Missouri. Rev. Dr. S. S. Marquis, of Detroit, ano Rev. J. O. S.

True, their wlnfra are outstretched, but even ' through glasses not the slightest motion is per ceptible. They remain In this position for many minutes, sometimes for an hour, making a careful scrutiny of ev erything below them In their search for prey. Then, with a slight tilting of the wings, they flap slowly away, or, having found what they were seek ing, dart like a bullet toward It. The eagle, hawk and other species have this same faculty of poising apparent ly on nothing. , STEWARD'S OPERA HOUSE One Night, Wednesday, March 1 AMERICA'S GREATEST PLAY ( THE Two Years at the SAVOY THEATRE New York flftM I Six Months at the TREMONT THEATRE Boston Five Months at the ' : ILLINOIS THEATRE Chicago nm u la uu Four Months at the OF THE A Ui THEAIKt By George Biodhurst J Philadelphia "The Best Play I Have Ever Seen."-CoIonel Roosevelt ' ' ' ' in . 11 Given here with a special cast of players, which musters. a roll of the best artists on the American stage.
