It is Being Celebrated in Hebrew Cir-" cles Today—lts Orig! In Hebrew circles the feast of Purim ts celebrated today. Locally, in honor of the | | event, short services will be held at 8 p. m. jin the Eighth Street Synagogue, and at the hold their first grand prize masquerade | ball at National Rifles’ armory, the pro- ceeds to be devoted to the benefit of the | Door. | The feast of Purim is a season of rejoic- ing among the Hebrews. The day preceding | the event is observed by the orthodox as a | fast. The evening is devoted to merry- making, confined largely to children, who | get up mask parties and visit Jewish | homes, where the visit is usually rewarded by contributions of money and other ar- tucles for the funmakers. The observance | of the feast is based on the deliverance of | the Jews from their enemies, as related in | the Book of Esther. During a great feast given by King Ahasuerus, “when the heart | of the king was merry with wine,” he or-/| dered that Vashti,the queen, be brought be- fore him, in order to display her beauty to his guests. The result was that Vashti was cast aside. The king selected Esther) as queen from among a number of beauti- | ful virgins who were brought to him by his | servants. Haman, who had “a seat above all the princes that were with him” at the | court, received the reverence of all who | were within the king’s gate. Mordecai, an uncle of Queen Esther, but who was not known as such, walked daily before the court, but refused to bow to Haman, who | | became full of wrath and decided to de-| | Stroy all the Jews for this act of Mordecai. | | Through diplomatic reasoning Haman ob- tained an edict to kill the Jews, and there was fasting and wailing among them | Esther heard of the commandment for the | destruction of her people, the Jews, and | interceded with the king, and the result was that the Jews were saved, and Haman and his sons were hanged on the gallows he had erected for the destruction of Mor- decal. Mordecal was advanced to the post- tion which had been held by Haman. The enemies of the Jews re vanquished, and it was ordered that “the fourteenth’ and fifteenth 4: of Adar should be made days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor, be- cause the days had been turned from sor- | row to Joy, and from mourning into a good | lay.” | —.——__ NEARLY ALL THE PLAY rE.

The regular game between the two teams was started at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. A visit was paid to a photographic estab- Ushment yesterday and a large group pic ture of the club, with the exception of Ab-} bey, was taken. | Everybody on the team, from the ma down, claims that the first day next, will be as game! of the championship and undoubtedly every Will be on hand to se sor ‘lec: fought as a ets to take place, rank" in the city what the boys can do. | —— Criminal Co In the Criminal Court, Division 2, Jus- | tice Cole, yesterday three colored men, | James H.
