LENTEN SERVICES YESTERDAY.
Season Ushered in With Due Solemnity
The T,iturOioa1 Churches

The Liturgical Churches.
The Lenten season was ushered in yes
terday by solemn and impressive Ash
Wednesday services in the liturgical
churches. AT the ceremonies in the Roman
Catholic churches, in conformity with the
custom which gives the day it's name and
significance, the celebrants imprinted ashes
upon the foreheads of the faithful as a re-
minder of the brevity of life and the neees-
sity for repentance, the officiating clergy
uttering at the same time the solemn re-
minder, Remember, man, that thou art
dust and shalt return to dust
The custom dates back to the twelfth
century, when it was first sanctioned by
Pope Celestin. The ashes used are those
made by burning of the palms consecrated
on Palm Sunday. The day is one of deep
devotion. prayer, self-examination and fast
ing.
During Lent, in addition to the daily
services there will be special evening serv-
ices in the Catholic churches twice a week,
Tuesday or Wednesday and Friday even
ngs being the nights selected. Special ad-
dresses on themes appropriate to the sea-
son are arranged for the service at the be-
ginning of the week, with benediction and
the stations of the cross on Friday even
ings.
Each season is accompanied by a more
general observance of the penitential peri
Cd in the non-liturgical as well as the ritu-
alistic churches in the Protestant denomi-
nations, and many special series of services
have been arranged for the next few weeks
The usual midday services of the Church
of the Messiah were begun at Old st. Paul s
yesterday and will be continued there
throughout the Lenten season.

COWBOYS A HAPPY BUNCH.
Received by President Roosevelt at the
White House.


Probably the happiest lot of men who
have been visitors in Washington inaugural
week are the cowboys from Wyoming and
the Black Hills, S. Oak. AS one of their
number remarked to a Star reporter last
evening, I'VE haven't missed anything"
The eliminating climax of their sojourn at
the capital was accomplished last evening
when, to the number of about forty, the
balance of the original party having start
ed for the west the first part of the week,
they visited the White House upon the
special invitation of the President. They
were headed by Col. Seth A. Bullock and
were received in a very cordial manner.
Mr.. Roosevelt made short speech in
which he said that no occasion during the
inaugural period had given him such genu-
inc pleasure as to meet the boys of the
plains and talk over old times in that sec
ton. The President then presented Mrs.
Roosevelt and Miss Roosevelt, and later on
the company was served with refresh
ments. The Presidently entered fully into
the spirit of the reunion and mingled with
the boys, exchanging stories and remini-
SCIENCES of his earlier years in the far
west. The majority of the cowboys hail
from Wyoming, where the President was
SO enthusiastically entertained during his
travels through the state some years ago.
In his talks with the boys he demon
strated again his wonderful memory of
events and places and recalled names and
incidents that some of the boys had almost
forgotten. The party remained at the
White House for almost an hour and re-
turned to the hotel more delighted than
ever with Washington. its cosmopolitan
life, and more particularly the President
whom one of them declared is the same
good leather as when he rode a broncho
on the plains.

ON socIALIsTIc LINES.
Estimate by Labor Leader Of Proposed
Chicago Gathering.

Washington workingmen are discussing
the forthcoming socialistic national meet
ing to be held in Chicago. Referring to
this matter, local labor leader said to a
Star reporter today:
THE call for a convention to meet at
Chicago June q next for the purpose of
forming an economic organization of the
working class is being widely circulated,
and all local, national and international or
CARNATIONS are invited to send representa-
tives. The scheme is regarded by the of
ficials of the American Federation of Labor
and trades unionists generally as move
ment to form national labor organiza-
ton based upon the principles of social
ISM antagonistic to the federation. This
is plainly stated in the manifesto of the
promoters, which is denunciation of the
prevailing system of trades organizations
as fostered and maintained by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and which is
declared to be "a worn and corrupt sys-
tenn which promises no improvement and
adaptation. The system, it is stated. of
fers only a perpetual struggle for slight
relief within wage slavery. 1t is blind to
the possibility of establishing an indus
trial democracy wherein there shall be no
wage slavery, but where the workers shall
own the tools they operate, and the prod
ucts of which they alone will enjoy
1T is said that in the past several sim
liar attempts have been made to form a
national trades organization which would
be auxiliary to socialism. In 1894
congress was called at Chicago for the
purpose of extending the jurisdiction of
the American Railway Union, as the Amer
lean Labor Union, to all organizations of
labor. In 1895 those prominent in the So
cialist party organized the Socialist Trade
and Labor Alliance, which, it is said, has
perSistently opposed trades unionism, or as
they derisively termed it, pure and SIM
pie trades unionism.' Then followed the
organization of the Western Federation of
Labor which was confined exclusively to
the farther western states. This organiza-
ton was the output of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, which had withdrawn from
the American Federation of Labor and
declared it's hostility to that body. But a
short time after the formation of the West
ern Federation of Labor that body was
recognized as the American Labor Union,
which two years ago, in convention at
Denver, Endorsed the socialist propaganda.
The sgners of the call are: Eugene V.
Debs w. j. Pinkerton, A. M Simons,
Thomas ]. Hagerty, William E, Trautman.
Charles H. Meyer, George Estes, William
d. Haywood, w. Shurtleff, M e. White,

D. Hennion, Mother Jones. Frank M. Nc

Mcdonald, John Guild, Joseph Schmidt, w.
Frank Kraft, A. ]. Swing, ]. E. Fitzgerald,
Clarence Smith.
Mr.. Samuel Gompers, in the current issue
of the American Federationist, says of the
sgners: Scanning the list, one will look
in vain to find the name of one man who
has not for years been engaged in the de-
lectable work of trying to divert, pervert
and disrupt the labor movement of the
country.

EXPRESSES HIS THANKS.
Commissioner Macfarland Compliments
the Fire Department.

Commissioner Macfarland, upon receiving
the reports of Chief Belt on the services of
the firemen at the pension office and on
Pennsylvania avenue during the inaugural
ceremonies requested the chief to convey
to the fremen his thanks and appreciation.
Commissioner Macfarland wrote Chief Belt
as follows:
Il have received your reports, setting
forth the good work of the members of the
fire department during the inaugural period,
with special reference to the services OF
those who We're detailed at the pension
office and on Pennsylvania avenue. APP
preciate highly the preventive work wnlch
was thus admirably done and the sacrlhce
made by the men in doing it, since they
had to remain continuously on duty and no
member of the department was allowed the
customary day Off inauguration day.
please convey to all the members of the
department, but especially to those who
were duty at the pension office and on
Pennsylvania avenue, my thanks and the
assurance of my appreciation for what they
have done. In this, as in every other case
the preventive work, while lacking the dra-
matte interest of the remedial work of the
department, is of more value to the COM
munity. 1t has been my desire to Increase
the inspection by the fire department and
the electrical department, which will stead
lily reduce the probability of dangerous
fires. The work done during the inaugural
period illustrates the value of preventive
measures"
Chief Belt of the fire department today
received a letter from Major Sylvester of
the police department thanking the former
for the valuable cooperation of the firemen
detailed on the avenue during the inaugur-
alton to keep the sidewalks clear of OBJ
structions.
TT was a great day says Major Sylves-
ter, land 1t pleasing to note that the
officials of the department were alive to
the interests which required protection"

WANTS NEGROES TO MOVE.
Address of Rev. D. r. Babbitt Last
NIGHT

Rev Dean Richmond Babbitt, DID,, rec
tor of the Church of the Epiphany. Brook
lyn, N. Y, made an address last evening at
the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, this
city. Or. Babbitt is president of the COM
mission on the race problem, and advocated
the exodus of the negro from the fields
of the south to the middle states and the
northwest. He declared that If the negroes
would heed this advice they would soon
determine the race question, and by scat
tering throughout the country would eff
feet its solution.
He said that by this course the political
rights of the negro would be protected he
would obtain industrial recognition and IN
all other ways advance along the lines OF
civilized enlightenment. In the congested
south, he declared, it is impossible for the
negro to achieve these results, and so long
as he remained there the conditions which
now exist would be factor in his depriva-
ton from that development which he could
make his own by leaving the section where,
according to Dr. Babbitt, he IS evidently
not wanted.
Referring to wha- has been called the
white peril of the south, he said that
he believed it to be the eventual salvation
of the negro in that the immigration OF
Italians, Austrans and other foreign ele-
ments to the southern states would drive nv.
the negro to other fields to secure that ltv-
ing which was denied him by their COM
petition. The larger opportunities OF the
north and west, he said, are open to the
negro, and it behooyes him to grasp them
before it is too late. He also advocated
the creation of a commission by Congress
which might have power to deal with the
facts of the case and formulate plans
whereby the negro might have larger
opportunity to advance in order that ne
might himself be a principal in the ulti-
mate obliteration of the race lines, which
are now drawn so tightly about him in his
present environment.
Former Senator Stewart of Nevada had
been expected to make a brief address, but
was prevented from attending.

briefly along the same lines as DR.. Bah
