Stern delivered a lecture after the regular Friday evening serv- ice. His subject was “The Hebrew, Israelite or Jew.” It is not an unfrequent occurrence that I am asked which of the three appellations given to our people—“Hel ” “Israelite” or “Jew”. be the more correet or acceptable. I have no doubt that one or the other among you have had similar questions to answer, nor that you experienced some difficulty in shaping your re- In books, periodicals and daily papers, in public meetings and private conversations these words are used either indiscriminately or with an apparent doubt as to whether or not one or the other would be preferable, or pe haps objectionable. In order to form » co rect opinion it would appear necessary to have some knowledge of the etymology, origin an former usage of these terms. Hebrew—ini our sacred tongue called “avar, tren It wav first applied by the ancient abitants of Palestine to the family of our ancestor, Abraham, who, migrating from Meso- potamia to Palestine, had to cross or pasy over the river Euphrates. It was the name by which the Jews were known to foreigners in ancient days. ‘Thus Joseph is spoken of by the Egyptians, and introduced himeelf to them as an “Ibri” or “Hebrew.” Miriam asks Pharaol daughter whether she should go and call » Hebrew” woman. Mores speaks to Pharao of je God of the Hebrews,” and the prophet Jonah tells the heathen ‘mariners, “I am a Hebrew!” THE TERM ISRAELITE. The second term, “Israel,” “Israelite,” in to be traced to the story of Jacob wrestling with a mysterious being at “Peniel,” when he was told: “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel;” that is, “striving with God, victorious in God,” or, as Gesendus translates, “soldier (or champion) of God.” Thus the term Israel or Israelite points to the mission of the children of our rac to wrestle with or battle agninst any forces hostile to their sacred trust,at the same time foreshadow- ing thetr final triumph and vietory. he name “Israel” became the national name of the twelve tribes, collectively. Later, after the of the kingdom under Jeroboam, the name applied only tothe ten seceding tribes formiug the northern kingdom, known as the kingdom of Israel, in contradistinction to the southern kingdom, consisting chiefly of the tribes of Judab, Benjamin and Levi. After the destruction of the ten-tribe kingdom we find the old name, Israel. again used to desig- nate the people of the kingdom of Judah and the name “Israel,” collectively, and “Israelite,” individually, has to this day remained in com- mon usage. ‘THE ORIOIK OF sew. The third appellation, “Jehudi” or “Jew,” originates in the name given by Jacob's wife Leah to her fourth son, “Judah” or ‘‘Jehudab,” meaning praise or thanks to God. For at his birth the mother exclaimed: “This time I will give thanks unto the Lord! name was worthil It Whitens the Teeth. It Hardens tae Gums. It Sweetens the Breath. The Best Tooth Wash Made.

The tradi- tional standard of the tribe was a lion’s whel with the words: “Arise, O Lord, and let Thii enemies tiered.” Later’ the name “Je- hudi” or was applied to a member of the kingdom of Judah (after the separation of the kingdom of Isracl) even to those not of the tribe of Judah—proof of which we find in the fact that in the book of Esther Mordecai, f is called mb26-+. tu, a turn from the Babylonian captivity all the mbers of the new state were called Jehudim, the name being extended to the remnants of the people scattered through- out the nations, HEBREW THE MOST ANCIENT. So much as to the etymology and historical significance of the names “Hebrew,” “Isr ite” and “Jew.” From it itappears that among the three the first, “Hebrew, ancient aud remote. And as in ancient da; by it the Jew was distinguished from foreigners, so today it would appear that in order to point out anything distinctively Jewish the word Hebrew is more properly applied. Thus we speak of a Hebrew ianguage, Hebrew literature, Hebrew melodies, &c. Otherwise the appe tions Israelite and Jew, or Israclitish and Jewish, are more frequently employed as more expressive and characteristic in their meaning and important in history. Of the two the former isa name of honorable distinction, re- ferring tothe divine calling of Israel, the tual combat of truth against falsehood, of light against darkness, in which our people were enlisted ag@ nation, in which they were still engaged when, with the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, they ceased to be a nation, and which will not terminate until, in the fullness of time, God's light and trath will finally trrumpb. ae o And with the name “Jew” the children of our race will ever proudly bear and cherish. They trace its origin to a noble ancestor and brave and dis i tribe, whose name was perpetuated in the kingdom of Judab, loyal and true to its ancestral faith and traditions. ‘And when the autonomy of Israel at a nation was destroyed its fragments — though scattered broadcast over the earth—were still closely united by the strange spell of that ancient name Jehudi or Jew, by which, indi- igually, we were and still are wont to calleach other, and by which weare chiefly recognized by the world. THE RESULT OF PREJUDICE. Hi E ii i Pil THE EVENING’ STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, APR Undoubtedly Mr. Stoddard in his admirable lecture on “Jerusalem and the Holy Land” ‘touched upon the chief cause ‘when referring to the New Testament account of the crucifix- ion. For eighteen centuries the reh has taught that the “Jews” crucified the Savior. Consciously or unconsciously the church was led to look upon the supposed murderers and their nts with a dislike akin to hatred. ‘True, in our days the church does no longer sanction iy vengeance as meted out during the middle ages against the hapless Jew with so much cruelty and fury. Religious persecution in civilized countries today isa thing of the st! Christianity, a8 understood and taught ita best exponents, now beholde as its true mission the exercise of love and good will toull mankind. Christian men and women who, like Mr. Stoddard, strive to condone for the wrongs inflicted upon the Jews by vindicating before the world the name of “Jew” act in that true Christian spirit. Scholars have long clearly shown that the Romans, not the Jews, crucified Jesus; that the Jews had no reason for putting Him to death; that crucifixion was nota Jew- ish mode of capital punishment, and that at that time Jewish courts had lost ail jurisdiction in pronouncing the death peualty. And again and again the injustice has been pointed out of ho.ding future genera- tions responsible for any supposed crime commitied by a fow men ‘many uondrods of years ago. Mr. Stoddard, in manfully and elo- quently voicing these truths before crowded houses in all the larger cities of the Union, is engaged in a truly Christian mission of justice and love. Justly and properly does he meet the prejudice aud hatred against the Jew, or the aversion against their name, with the fu 80 known, yet deliberately overlooked— that He whom’ the Christian world worships was born a Jew and lived asa Jew. Mr. Stod- dard’s departure, in cunnection with, other signs of the times pointing in the sume direc- tion, justify us in the hope that the Christian world will more and more free itself from ac- customed prejudices against the Jew—removo the stigma which former ages fastened upon a name associated wifh what is dearest and holiest to both Jew and Christian—and yet learn to regard the Jew axa worthy co-laborer in the cause of religion and humanity, » brother and a friend. STRIVE TO LIVE DOWN PREJUDICE. And as for us, instead of frowning down pre- judice, let us rather strive to live it down wherever we may meet it! Let us show by our lives that certain unfavorable traits ascribed to the Jew do not exist in reality, and that, if they ever did exist, we can rid ourselves of them. Let us prove to the world that the virtues with which we are credited are the Jew's today as ever! Let.us, above all, be true to ourselves, tras and loyal to our country, true and loyal to our Judaism—as Hebrews, us Israclites or as Jews. And as faithful mother will cling to her child with a love the more intense and ten- der the more others may dislike or chide or malign it, 80 will we love the name of “Jew” and strive to reflect honor upon it and cherish itas we cherish the grand and poble history which that name, as with a magic wand, con- {res up within our memories and within our arts! And surely the day will come when the name “Jew” will be fully and completely vindicated and when we joyfully may repeut the words in which ulmost 4,000 years ago that name was conceived: “This time will I give thank Soy maals nto the Lord."

A. D. Spangler, 0. W. Goodwin and J. D. Wolverson, took the affirmative side, while the Baltimoreans, Messrs. B. B. Shreeves, R. Brent Walling and A. 8. Goldsborough, took the negative.

Blind prejudice, not nd strength- ened by ignorance and superstition, cast an odium upon a name borne by the wisest and best of the human race. The nineteenth cen- eral enlightenment, is rapidly nearing and, toall appearances, the sun of the twentieth century will rise while the stigma fastened in ages upon the name “Jew” is still tenaciously clinging toit. The foul, pestMerous marshes breeding the mous miasma of religious prejudice seem to become but slowly absorbed, and the effects of their pernicious influences, so long and coustantly at work, but gradually obliterated. And so it will take time to eradicate the traditional prejudices which be associated with the appellation meaning that prejudice still pre- vails.

As details of the recent cyclone in the west ‘are learned a more distressing state of affairs is disclosod than was intimated in the dis- patches to lant evening's Stan. The tornado entirely destroyed Towanda, Kan., killing twenty people; wrecked’ Augusta, killing four, and seriously injuring many others; did great damage at Wellington, kill- ing several, and demolished several buildings at Kiowa. Not a house or building was left standing in Towanda. The town was asleep when the storm swept down, rased everything in its path, and left dead bodies lying in ite wake. Four dead bodies have been re- govered from the ruins already searched. Twenty persons are fatally hurt and forty more sericusly injured, peaked a large number more of les maimed. ‘MOURMING IN TOWANDA Towanda is a village of 1,300 inhi uated ten miles west of Eldorado. The storm laid the whole town flat with the earth, and left not a single house standing. Or the eighty fam- ilies comprising the population there is not one that is not either mourning for a dead or dying member oF sorrowing with the suffering. Four Persons were killed outright, and several are 80 dls injured thet they cannot live. ‘The killed are Herchild Cupp, William Bartley, Dr. D. D. Godfrey, infant ena of John Blake.

Many others were jess seriously hurt. Physicians are attending the wounded. ‘They came from Eidorado on the first train, and but for their timely assistance many more of those injured must have died. At Strong City the storm raged furiousl The house of Joseph Glarze was completely de- molished. The house of James Glassen was completely demolished. His wife, son and child were killed outright. Several others were injured, but none tatully, OTHER PLACES IN KANSAS. At Augusta three were killed outright —Har- mon Hoskins, James Barnes and the infant child of Wil Rhodes, who was blown out of his mother's arms and dashed against a brick wall, Rhodes himself is fatally injared, as is also the wife of Harmon Hoskius. Fifteen others wore hurt more or less seriously, according to pres- ent reports, but ail wires are down and it is im- possible to get any detailed account from either place. Apparently, the same storm touched at Kiowa and Wellington. In Kiowa the Mis- souri Pacific depot and a number of dwellings and buildings wore demolisied, and, though no loss of lile is known, several minor miships are reported.

PATH OF THE STORM. The storm, as far as can be deternfined. awept across the country from the Indian territory, in the southwest part of Barber county, sas, taking the little town of Kiowa in its path. In a northeasterly direction, it passed through Frazier county and through the center of Sum- ner county. Bending as a bow, it passed almost directly north, through ¢he remainder of Sumner county and along the western part of Butler county Villages and farm houses wore carried away as it swept slong. ‘Ihe tor- nado continued in Kansas aud the northwestern part of Missouri yesterday, but was less de- structive. A dispatch from Fort Scott states that sor*h- eastern Kansas was visited ‘Ihursday nigh, by one of the strongest wind storms for years. No reports of injuries to persons have been re- ceived, though many country barns and their outbuildings and haystacks and occasionally well-constructed residence were destroy. ‘The wind at Leavenworthatnoon had become a hurricane end blew away part of the roof of the great Western stove works, and work was suspended for the day.

At the factory of Tootle, Hosea & Co. there was astampede of the several hundred girls. About 10 o'clock a vio- lent gust of wind tore a portion of the roof off the factory. No one was injured, however. BLOWING EIGHTY-FOUR MILES AN HOUR. A dispatch from Lawrence, Kan., saya: “The wind has been blowing a gale here since mid- night. Observations taken by Chancellor Snow of the State University showed that the wind at times attained a velocity of eighty-four miles an hour. Many buildings were unrvofed and outhouses demolished. ‘The roof of the Haskell Hospital was blown away and it was necessary toanchor the building with cables to prevent théir blowing over. No one was injured, and the patients at tho hospital are being cared for elsewhere In Kansas City the wind reached a velocity of sixty-four miles. The damage consisted principally of roofs blown away and plate glass windows broken. The roof the high. school at Locust and 12th streets was blown off. There was no panic, but school was dismissed, it being feared that the building was unsafe. There has bean no loss of life. ‘The greatest damage was suffered by the telegraph companies. ‘The Western Union reports no communication whatever with points west of the center of tho ate of Kansas and has but a few workable wires east, IN THE CYCLONE's TRACK. At Olathe, Kan., the general store of Mariner & Marvin was partially wrecked.

At about 6:30 last evening the sky, which had been threatening all afternoon, became black as night, and in another minute a terrible gloudburst occurred at Chicago. The wind blew at a hurricane rate and drove the rain in sheets along the streets, sweeping every mova- ble object before it. The wind was of evelonic force, and at the corner of Haistead and Pearce streets tore down a house and killed thr Serious damage is reported in parts of the city. The building at Halstead and Pearce strvcts was a seven-story brick structure. It was surrounded by one and two- story frame and brick Luillings, the homes of humbie laborers, and crashing upon them in- stantly crushed out the lives of three unfortu- nates and fataliy or seriously injured many others.

After long and careful trial of others, I prefer Cleveland’s ‘Baking Powder for several reasons that seem to me good and sufficient. Cleveland's is a pure cream of tartar and soda mixture, not com- taining alum or ammonia or any other substance deleterious to the human stomach. Cakes, nruffins, biscuits, &c., in which Cleveland’s Baking Powder is used, keep better. They do not crumble into saw- dusty consistency or harden into flintiness as they do when raised by other powders that I have tried. A like quantity of Cleveland's Baking Powder goes further and does better work than any other of which I have knowledge. It is therefore cheaper. 1 am thus frank in giving the causes of my “ change of base” upon an important question because I have been annoyed by comments upon what is surely my affair and that of no other person or parties, and I am not averse to settling this matter, once for all. On this account you are at liberty to make whatever use you like of this statement. l, 5 4 Pompton, N.
