SERVICES IN
CHURCHES.
Ash WednesdayIMarkS the Be-
ginning Of the Lenten
Season.
THE SEASON OF DENIAL.
Members of Catholic and Episcopal Church.
es and People of Other Denominations
VIII Refrain from Some Worldly Affairs
Which they Have Enjoyed all Win
ter.

Today, Ash Wednesday. MARKS the
opening of the Lenten season. The
annual fast of forty days observed
from very early times in the Christian
Church, in commemoration of Christ's
forty days fast, continues until East.
er, for which feast the fast serves
also as season of special penitence
and preparation.
The Lenten fast is now observed as
obligatory by the Orthodox, Greek and
Oriental churches, as well as by the
Roman Catholic, Anglican the Luth-
eran.
The festival of Easter corresponds
with the Passover of the Jews, and is
the Sunday which follows that four
teenth day of the calendar moon
which falls on or next to March 81.
This morning at O'Clock mass was
said in ST. Mary's, st. Stephens and
the Holy Gross Roman Catholic
churches. At 8 clock q special mass
for the school children will be said.
At 7.30 O'Clock tonight those who
were unable to attend mass this morn
ing will go to church. Every We'd
nesday and Friday morning from now
on until Easter Sunday there will be
services at o'clock in the morning
and at 7.30 O'Clock in the evening at
St. Mary's.
Rev. J. l.. Lancaster was in charge
of the services at St. Peters Episcopal
church at TO- 80 O'Clock this morning.
Mr.. Lancaster, in his commentaries
on the observance of Lent, touched on
the servant girl question. He said
that if people observed Sunday in lent
as they ought to, they would have less
trouble with their servant girls. He
also said that he approved of fasting
through lent, from physiological
standpoint if from no other and told
the congregation what, in his mind,
fasting really meant.

EVENING NEWS WILL SEND TWO
PERSONS TO THE ST. LOUIS FAIR
AND GIVE TWO SCHOLARSHIPS

Do you want to take ten-days trip
to the great Worlds Fair at st. Louis
without costing gou a cent either for
railroad fare, hotel accommodations
or admission to the grounds? If you
do, read the conditions offered by the
Evening News as published on another
page, and you will zee how easy it
can be done. The whole scheme in a
nutshell is this: The Evening News
has arranged for the accommodation of
the two most popular members of any
society in this city or vicinity at st.
Louis during the fair. including the
railroad transportation, and today
the contest opens. Who the most
popular members are, will he deter
mined by the number of votes sent in
to this office under the conditions set
forth elsewhere in today's paper.
The Evening News goes further
than this. 1t has arranged the con-
test so that success will not be con-
fined entirely to one or two persons.
There are four prizes offered and the
four most popular members of any
society within the limits of the con-
dltions, who get the most votes will
he rewarded. The two getting the
greatest number of votes will be given
their choice Of spending week each
at the st. Louis Worlds Fair, with
out cost to them, or of having free
scholarship in the international Corre-
spondence School. The third person
gets third choice and the fourth high
est gets the remaining prize Either
the trip to st. Louis or the sch olar-
ships are we'll worth trying for and
the great advantage is, it is all with

Must Remain Closed for Month

Scholars Must Buy Supplies.
APPROPRIATION CUT.
Asked for $44, $50 and Got But $32, 800
Superintendent ShulI Tells the Board
that tho Present System Cannot be
Maintained with that Money and Gives
Three Alternatives.

Hereafter, until such time as finances
may warrant a change, the public
school pupils of this city will have to
buy their own supplies, independent
of books, such as paper, pencils, pens,
blank books, rulers, penholders and
the like. In addition they will be re-
quired to attend school for only nine
months of the year, instead of ten, as
formerly.
This condition of affairs was brought
about by the cut in the appropriation
asked for the public schools made by
the Board of Estimate. City Super
intendent S. e. Shull sounded note
of warning in his monthly report TO
the Board of Education last night.
He said: 81 do not wish to pose as a
pessimist, but lack Of funds has
brought this board face hto face with
three alternatives: 1st, IA seven.
months school wear; 2nd, to compel
the pupils to buy their own books !;
3rd, to compel them to purchase their
own supplies. One of these alterna-
tives must be adopted. +"
A compromise was effected and n
resolution passed to close the schools
for month longer than usual in the
summer and to have the pupils pay
for their supplies, not including books.
1t was practically impossible for the
board to adopt the first plan, that of
having months term, as they
would lose the State appropriation by
making the school year less than nins
months.
A few figures for comparison may
be interesting. The per capita rate
in this city for supplies is 80 cents.
In New Brunswick it is $l47 and in
South Amboy S1.7O The average for
the county is 50 cents, and for the
State, $l.25 The annual cost per
child in this city is $l3.2 20, for the
county it is $l7.22. For the cities of
the State it is SI8 SO. On the average
attendance for this city it is $l8.33
and for the cities of tho State, $26 32.
