Rabbi Stern's Address at the Eighth Street Mebtrew Teaspie. @UR CONDITIONS CONTRASTED WITH THORE PRE- VAILING IX RUROPE—A LAND OF FREEDOM AND TOLERANCE—HE ANSWERS THE QUESTION, “WHAT ls THY couxtny?” Thankrgiviog services wero held yesterday afternoun by the Washington Hebrew congre- gation in the Eighth Street Tempie. A feature f the service was the masic, which was cspe- cially well rendered. Rev. Louis Stern, the rabbi, delivered an interesting and eloquent address. “You all have heard,” ssid Rev. Mr. Stern, “of the man in Holy Writ who lay fast asleep ine ship while a furious storm was raging, and all the crew frantic with fear, cried aloud, every tun unto his God. And the shipmaster came to him, saying: “What meanest thou, 0! thine occupation and whence cafest thou? What is thy country and of what people art thou?” ‘This question formed the text of the en. He referres to the Iittle part the question “What is thy occupatio: in the estimate of a man's worth and character in this country, and he eloquently summarized the great for which the nation should be thankful and he spoke of the different con- ditions in Europe. “Whence comest thou?" he said. “The cradle of the inhabitants of this wide land or of their ancestors in European lands. Europe, with its numerous empires, kingdoms and crowned tates, its manifold conflict- ing interests and constantly ‘burning ques- tions," may bo likened to a living volcano. Terrible upheavals sooner or later must occur, and when occurring cannot fail to be of the most disastrons consequence. ‘The vory air is freighted with dread anticipations as to the fature, and this fecling of anxiety and uncer- tainty exerts ite depressing influence upon all classes, from the royal palace down to the poor t behind plough and the mechanic in his work shop. Fally realizing the dreadful calamity which a general European war would imply the people of Europe for peace, but pence can only be maintained at immense sacrifices. Enor- mous is the numerical strength of the standing armies of Europe, made up of the flower of Europe's manhood, depriving usefal labor and industry of millioas of stardy arms and skillful hands. Appalling aro the sums eon- sumed annually by the maintenance of such colossal armies, and next to intolerable tho consequent burden of taxation and poverty and starvation stare thousands in the fuce. it is to be wondered at that such a stateof affairs, aggravated by more or less _ illiteral, oppressive measures peculiar to a monarchial form of government, as existing in most all the principal European countries, should produce & feeling of unrest and discontent, dee and lasting, eating especially the’ hard- toiling laboring classes, far surpassing in bit- terness and intensity anything of the kind that may have come under our own obrervation. Is it to be wondered at if the patience of a much- abused populace ceasing to be @ virtue ever and anon gives way to acts of violence, to frantic efforts to shake off the heavy yoke placed upon their necks by the tyranny’ of au- tocrats or the pressure of peculiarly unfortu- nate circumstances, which, it appears, in the natural order of things cannot be removed? Is it to be wondered at that certain countries of Europe are veritable hotbeds for the worst forms of socialism, nibilism and communism— natural outgrowths of misrule and a diseased body politic? WHAT IS THY COUNTRY? * “And now let us turn to abappy contrast by considering the question: “What is thy coun- try?” the country thou dwellest in, whether by choice as an adopted citizen, or to the manor born! A country blessed abundantly through the goodness of the Creator like no other country on the face of the globe, a coun- try of amazing wealth and boundless resources, great and formidable in vastness and strength, fair and beautiful—but blessed by even more!

And conscious of this strength, under the protection of Almighty God, Amer- ica may view with calmness and composure any national or international difficulties, as they have arisen and may arise in the course of history. True also America is more or less affected by the disturbed social conditions of society abroad, the social question and ite solu- tion, the various complaints of our own wage earners and their demands for a proper adjust- ment of their grievances are earnes! in- telligently considered by the people.

Rallreads and Sewers—A Farmer ‘CRarged With (ncendiarism Correspondence of The Evening Star. Haorustown, Nov. 26, 1891 Hagerstown isa city in many particulare— ém peptiation, in industrics and maay other adjuncts—but it lacks two very important cs- sentials—-proper drainage and street railroad facilities. For the latter company was formed some time ago and the town anthori- ties applied to for a franchise. Ono was granted, but it provjded fora fint rail, while the company wanted to lay aT rail. A lengthy discussion through the papers and before the city council ensued and much time was lost. Finally the company conceded the T rail. Another obstacle then arose, and one which has brought negotiations to a close for the Present, and greatly to the disappointment of our people. The authorities demanded that the streets be paved by the com- pany on either side of the tracks for a distance of two feet. ‘The streets are macadam, and the authorities claim paving as demaided would be necessary to preserve the strects and make them passable for vehicles. ‘This the company | denies and refuses to accept the franchise. AS to the drainage matter lignt is dawning upon Hagerstown. “A Philadelphia company has sub- mitted to the council a franchise, which pro- vides fora completo sewerage system for the city. ‘The sewers are to be of hard brick or terra cotta pipes, and the company wants tho exclusive right to constroet and maintain the sewers, the city to have an option of purchase at the expiration of ten years, the company te charge for the privilege of connecting with the sewers, the charges being at fixed rates run- ning from $5 to #10, or in accordance with the number of rooms in the dwelling.

A BOY BADLY INJURED. Another boy was yesterday injured near the New Cut road shaft by the rolling on his feet ti some of the huge stones blasted from the underground tunnel during its construction. Charles Hoskins is his name and he was out gunning. Desiring to make a short cut over the branch that runs beneath the culvert he attempted to climb over the great pile, but had gotten only half the way up when the stones beneath his feet became displaced and he rol ed down to the bottom, his gun, a loaded breech- Ir, hands. Luckily it did not go off. but the unfortunate boy had his feet crushed so badly that it was with the greatest difficulty his companion, who was some distance off at the time of the accident, assisted him to the road, where a gentleman’ in» buggy lent his hand-nd “fx” and bronght him to his home in an alley back of Water street. AN INTERESTING THANESGIVING SERVICE. Yesterday at the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church, Rev. J. E. Amos, pastor, the platform was decorated and overflowing with good things, which the congregation generously sent. There were several barrels and bags of potatoes, flour and apples, besides hams, sugar, canned goods and a quantity of smaller pack- ages of tea, coffee, Ac. An interesting and Fofitable sermon from the pastor was atten- ely listened to, appropriate music was ren- dered by the choir and the congregation filled the body of the church. In the afternoon the decorative committee .met and arranged for the distribution of the good things. SoTER.

Commander-in-Chief Palmer Suggests Some | To What an Extent It ts Looked After—For- | The Tale ‘Ways of Teaching Loyalty. Capt. John Palmer, commander-in-chie? AR, in recent orders says: ‘The twenty-fifth national encampment éi- Yeeted the appointment of a committes to pre- pare » plan forthe systematic teaching of loyalty to our country: this committee bas been appointed and will no donbt formulate snch plan and bring the same before the next encampment. Meanwhile every comrade of the order hne it in his power to further this object by his exampte. ‘The national fing, when carried by Poste, troops or other orxanized bodies, when b on the flag staff ip acamp or garriron or aboard & vessel, reproseiite the people of this republic; it represents our country and our goverament; it reminds us that during the 400,000 lives were given up and innumerable sacrifices made that it should continue to wave over us, and when we stand in the presence of that dag it is most proper that all, young and old, men and women, should saluto it with love und pride, thanking God that we are permitted to ive under it, the emblem of liberty. the hope of humanity.’ Let, therefore, overy member of the Grand Army of the Ropublic pay the r salute by uncovering to our glorious flag the same is carried past him or he is passing thus ketting the best example to teach loyalty to the rising generation. ‘The commander-in-chicf also deems the cus- tom of rising and uncovering, as observed in some localities, when the national hymn, ‘The Star Spangled Banner,” is being sung or played, worthy of general observation by the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, and is greatly calculated to impress patriotiam on the hearts of all. ods Whenever a post is in session it is eminently proper that the national color at least shoul prominently be displayed in the post room, Rnd that it should be placed in position in att impressive manner. ‘This is already practiced by some posts, and while the commander-in- ef does uot order it to be done he believes it will be for the best interests of the posts. prop- erly to excort, receive and salute the fing of our country ‘before proceeding to business. It is not desirable that the ceremony should be Jong and tedious, yet it should not be hurried, but executed with the dignity becoming tho cccasion The following, adopted from the United Statee tactics, is suggested as appropri ate, but posta nced not follow it exactly, still the general outline should be retained. When the post is about to open, the officer of the day will place the colors in the ante-room. When the commander has declared the open, he will direct the adjutant to make a detail to escort the color. ‘This detail will con- sist of a color bearer and three comrades, who, as their namer aro called, will form in one rank, facing the commander, having the altar between them and the former, the color bearer being the second from the ‘right; the detail having been made and formed, the adjutant roports the fact to the commander, who directs the officer of the day to escort the color. The officer of the day takes charge of the escort, marches it to the ante-room, \ds the color to the bearer, who steps forward to receive it: the latter then faces about, the officer of the day brings the escort to present, foilowed by carry arms; he then marches it in an orderly man- ner to the post room, conducting his march #o that the escort will be brought toahalt in front of tho commander's chair andefacing the altar, when the color bearer will step upon the com- mander's platform and face toward the com- rades. When the officer of the day marches the escort off to receive the color the com- manuder calls the post to attention (three raps), and the comrades as far as practicable will then take position in the space between the senior vice commander and the altar, facing toward the commander's position; the comrades being inorder the commander will take position be- tween them and the altar, opposite and facing toward his ordinary position. The officer of the guard, the escort being ready to enter and the post in order, calls out: “Turn out the post for the color.” The color and escort being in position the commander faces about. gives the command “salute,” which will be executed by the comrades and the escort; he then faces about and also sulutes, whereupon the color bearer returns the salute with the color. This having been done the commander gives the command “break ranks, march,” when all the comrades drop their hands and take their seats, except the color bearer, who places the color in proper position to the right and front of the commander's desk, or drooping over the back of his chair or over the altar. If the escort be armed the officer of the day will bring it to carry arms, arms port and break ranks. it is desirable that only the national color should be used, but if a post desire to use also the post color, two color bearers will be needed, the post color will be on the left of the national color, and the escort will consist of but two comrades; if it be desired to have the escort larger, i.e. in double ranks, seven or six com- rades will be needed accordingly as there will be one or two colors. ——— ANACOSTIA. AID FOR THE POOR. The Thanksgiving donation party for the benefit of the poor of Anacostia called together a large and liberal assemblage last night. Cash and groceries, raiment and fuel were donated in quantities.’ Several large orders on local wood and coal dealers were handed in. Rev. Dr. E. Richardson, pastor of the M. E. Church, presided. Remarks on the subject of the para- mount worthiness of home charity were made by Dr. Richardson, Mr. James H. Bony and Mr. H. A.

A Thankegiving musical and literary festival was given last nigkt at Bethlehem Colored Baptist Church of Nichols avenue, Hillsdale. Despite inclement weather a large audience attended. The program was carefully arranged and all the participants acquitted themselves creditably. Sunday School Superintendent C. W.

She Proposes to Leave Money to Her Town Under Novel Restrictions. ‘The town fathers of Wilmington, Mass, are wondering what they shall do with « gift from ® benevolent old lady of seventy years, Miss Sabra Carter, who has tmposed such novel re- strictions as to make the gift a white elephant on their hands. Miss Carter proposes to give the town fifty sharos of stock, paying about 10 per cent interest, she to have the interest on the stock while she lives, and after her decease the interest to be oxpended as follows: ‘The income of ten shares purchased of the Lombard Investment Company, for which she id $1,030, is to be used for “the painting of jouses in Wilmington for those who shall ap- ly for it,” one or two each year, “who do not Boop a dog and have not kept one for two years, and who have been members of a tem- perance society for the same period of time, and are notin the personal use of tobacco." If there are no applications for a coat of paint gratis the income may be used one-half for ornamenting the common and the other to benutify the cemetery. ‘The income of twenty shares in the Denver Electric Lighting Com- ny, which were bought for $2,178, is to be levoted to two purposes, one-half the income to go toward the purchase for the public library of scientific books, works of travel, &c., an the remainder to be devoted to lectures on similar subjects. These lectures must be given on Wednesday afternoons, when the traveling in good condition and ‘school children can conveniently attend. If there is sufficient ac- commodation people from neighboring towns may be invited. é Miss Carter makes soveral provisions with twenty shares in the Howard State Bank of Kansas, which shares, she says, may be worth about $220. One-fourth of the income of these shares she sets apart for renovating marbles in the cemetery, a fourth to be tsed in keeping the family lot in good order, a fourth to be ex- pended in planting trees by the wayside and the remaining fourth for furnishing settees to be placed by the highways where travelers may rest. ROMANCE OF A POOR YOUNG GIRL. A Story From Real Life Which Surpasses Fiction, From the Chicago Tribune. “+A young woman wae married last week to man who is known favorably allover this coun- try, and who has something of a fortune andtwo homes, and who is in all respects a man of the world,” said another of the world to the writer, after general talk about the pranks of the whirligig of time. “In her case "(was the continuation), “I will venture to say that there was a time in her life when the flicker of the flame of hope was as sickly and fitfal as any that ever threw ghostly shadews on the wall, Not to go into details which would make her known, her mother had separated from her husband. The mother and daughter were left not only homeless, but tically penniless. Their prior station had beon such as to enable them to enjoy some social priv- ileges, When the separation came the mother npved out of the fashionsble quarters where she ad lived, and with her daughter took lodging in one of the cheapest boarding houses ou an anfrequented street, In spite of effort to some livelihood none came. Then they to give up the baek room in the back street boarding house. Their purse money was so smali that they were forced into smaller room in » squalid section of Chicago. Ido not know that the word squalid is the one to be used, The section is one even now where few men or women who have any self-respect care to be seen. To the credit of the mother in this story I will say that she did not know this. They bought their own food. They did not Ko out to any restaurant or cafe, means did not permit this. One day the mother, Boovlly:veiledy would go to some little grocery store with o ‘tin pail and purchase 10 cente’ worth of oysters, a tew cents’ worth of and a bit of cheese. The next day the daughter, heayily veiled, would do tne marketing at some other family grocery.
