RABBISTERN’S ADDRESS ‘The annual ceremony of confirmation was observed yesterday by the Washington He- brew Congregation at Eighth Street Syna- gogue. Thirteen confirmants received their religious corsecration, They proved their worthiness in the understanding of their religion by public examination; accepted the blessing of their rabbi and their parents, announced their declaration of faith, took the vow plighting themselves to be right- eous children of Israel and were given their certificates of confirmation. The signifi- cance attached to the number of the con- firmation class by superstitious persons was negatived by Master Irwin Strasburger, confirmant, in his essay on “Superstition,” who held that superstitious awe found no lodgement in Judaism, and the alleged un- luckiness of the number thirteen was also discountenanced by Rabbi Stern in his ad- dress, The temple was thronged with a greater crowd than commonly worships there, Lecause of the solmen interest in the impressive event felt by all the Hebrews of Washington. The altar was a bower of spring bloom. Festoons of ferns, brightened at close intervals with clusters of rosea and carnations, drooped from the chandelier to the platfrom; the pillars of the tempie were entwined with garlands of blossom; the pulpit was hedged with baskets of palms, and from other points of vantage floral o} ferings shed light and fragrance on the scene. Almost before the echoes of the regular morning service had died away the choir broke forth in a march, which heralded the approach of the confirmants. Down the central aisle they came, with slow tread and bowed heads. Preceding the procession were Mr. Henry King, president, and Mr. Max Goldsmith, vice president of the con- gregation. Close behind came the children, in column of twos, with the ttle girls in the position of honor, The oldes! poe on lest of these was They were dressed in s purest white, girl-like fashion and carried loose bunch of white roses, Following the little girls came the four male confirmants, clad in dark hues and wearing black derbies, which by permission of their creed, they retained on their heads during the procession. Ar- riving at the altar they formed a semi- circle around Rabbi Stern. Hymn No, 146 Was sung by the choir, the children making response. This concluded, Rabbt Stern ad dressed some remarks of welcome to the congregation and to the candidates for ad- mission to it. He reminded all of the ancientness of their religion, He admon- ished the confirmants that they had come to join the congregation as co-workers in the cause of humanity and truth. While, as yet, they had not uttered a word, yet their hearts had gtven expression ‘to thelr gratitude in the tributes of flowers which they had sacrificed upon the altar, They should offer up in unison of voice and heart @ praye- to God that His blessing might rest upon them. The chi'dren responded in chorus and the choir answere] them. After an amen, the choir burst into a song, and while the congregation stood, Rabbi Stern praised God for His blessings, and again the children made answer in their sweet, fresh voices. The Torah was produced, and the boys of the class read passages from it in Hebrew. After the great roll of parch- ment had been replaced in Its repository, Rabbi Stern made a fervent prayer. An Impre Prayer. On the part of the class, the opening prayer was rendered by Miss Rosa Stern, a dark-haired litde girl of fourteen years, and daughter to the rabbi. She asked God to grant them sincerity of spirit and purity of heart. She asked that the light and truth of God might make their pathway clear, and that the memory of the hour of their consecration might be ever with them, She made a touching request of the Lord of Hosts that he might help them in their ef- forts to be worthy sons and daughters of Israel, and prayed feelingly for their par- ents. She asked divine help in becoming worthy members of society. It was a prayer made in a natural voice and with a sincerity which made an impress on all who heard it. After music by the choir, Rabbi Stern propounded questions of creed to the children, and a set of questions was between each of the eleven brief essays h followed. ese questions and responses evinced the jummer textiles of | dignity and ideality of the Jewish belief in the unity and eternity of God. “The Mis- sion of Israel,” was the theme which Miss y She dwelt on the vastness of the historical period covered by Judaism, and of the intensity and relent- lessness of the persecution which they had been made to bear. The decalogue was re- cited in class, and Miss Fanny Woog de- livered her essay, “ etice, Not Theory,” in German. “The Legend of the Sabbath, Was the subject assigned Miss Laura Beh- rend. The tenor of her remarks was that the | bad angel might never gain the ascendancy over them, and that their ways might be ever pleasing in the eyes of God, and thus be in conformity with their religion. Mas- ter Ross Strassburger spoke of “The ways of Providence’ and maintained that what- ever God does is for our good, “Supersti- tion” was the (opie of Master Irwin Stra: burger. The physical flight of the Jews from Egypt was also a mental emancipa- tion. People were superstitious because they were ignorant. ‘The Israelite feared nothing but God, and to fear Him was to of latter-day people, who trembled for safety of the conlirmants, because there ed to be thirteen in the class. 7 lah” was told of by Miss Rosa ‘They did not regard the Me: between God and man. T Stern. jah as a link They did not think of him as one who was to bless the Jews | with the boon of national independence. To the Hebrews of today the coming of the Messiah was when justice, righteousness, love, charity and kindness should be uni- versal. At this point a devout prayer was made by Miss Clara Bernheimer. The bur- den of this was that their hearts might be invested with due gratitude for their par- ents who had cared for them from their earliest hour. was effectively discussed by Miss Helen Bernheimer, A True Citizen, Master Moses Herzog talked of “The Jew as a Citize In some European countries he was treated as an alien, and more un- justly than he should be, were he such. ven in this country of broad ideas, the foolish question of this patriotism was ever ond anoa raised. Inside the synagague the Jew worshipped his God after the dictates of his heart, and in accord with the teach- ings of Lis fathers, but outside he was a itizen in all that the word implies. He proved that the blessings of heaven might continue to be showered on our beloved country, and that all attempts to disturb her peace might prove futile. “Our Atti- to Other Creeds” was the theme chosen by Miss Della Fishel. She said that the duty to do justice to others was first made known to the world through the medium of their creed, but that now this teaching had been incorporated in and formed the corner stone of all other re- ligions. Some creeds held that their views vere the only way to heaven. Judaism taught tolerance and their rabbis held that the righteous of all religions should inherit spiritual happiness. Thanks to our present civilization, the burning and torturing of Je for being Jews was not tolerated, but stil to a large extent, the spirit which these _barbarities survived. “4 al Religion” was, as Miss Mabel Hoffenmaier declared, the religion which taught that loving kindness is greater than wore their dark tresses in| =" law, and that the charities of life are greater than all things else. Master Syl- van Luchs “In Behalf of the Class,” spoke “of the pleasant duty ed him of thanking those who had contributed to their spiritual education.” He told of the grati- tude of the crew for ee ee that they could best reward him by follow- ing as he had pointed. He thanked the Sunday school teachers for their good and faithful services, and also the gentlemen of the school committee. Prayer was offered by Miss Irene Solomon, and the closing prayer of the service by Miss Della Fishel. The Closing Address. Rabbi Stern, in his address, said that this occasion was a refreshing spot in the arid desert of life. It spoke to them of the high- er and nobler things which were, and it lfted them from the drudgery of their daily being to the realms of the ideal, the true, the beautiful, the sublime. It was an occa- sion which turned the heart of the parent toward the child, and that of the child to- ward the parent. Where was the heart that did not turn toward these children? 1t turned our own memories back to child- hood, the sweet memories of which had never deserted them; turned their memories back to the time when fond mothers guided their footsteps with loving care. Was not the experience of the parents also to be the experience of the children? The lives of these little ones could not always be sun- shine; they would have their trials and troubles and cares, and all that the parent cculd do was to pray that a merciful Provi- dence might defend them. solemn oc- casion was eminently appropriate to turn the hearts of the children to their God. No other Jewish service throughout the year had so strong an influence on their religious life, The truths of Judaism had lost nome of their luster in the light of modern civili- zation. Rabbi Stern referred hopefully to the recent efforts made toward effecting a unity of religions. He declared that Juda- ism was the noblest and best of religions. The impress of this confirmation service would be lasting and would lift the con- firmants to a higher plane of life. He ap- pealed to the parents to uphold the contir- mation service, which was a comparatively new ceremony with the Jews, but which, despite this, had taken deep hold on the race. He addreased some kindly and well- meant advice to the children, referred to the day as the turning point in their lives and indicated many of the things which they should avoid. Above all, they should not neglect their secular education. The Jew had always been a student and a think- er, they must also be Jews in this par- ticular, The solemnity of the occasion had been increasing at each moment as the ceremonial and hundreds of eyes were wet with tears as Rabbi Stern turned directly to the little ones and said: “Draw near to your parents with a prayer on your lips that their lives may be pre- served, and with a deep sense of regret for any sin of omission which you may have committed, and with a solemn vow always to devote to them your filial love and to re- flect honor and credit-on them, on your selves and on your religion. Prove your- selves worthy of their blessing, and God's | blessing shall be your reward.” The choir chimed in with a soft melody, and the chil- dfen retired from the platform, found their | Parents in the vast audience, and, with | tears and sobs, kissed them and their kin- dred and were lovingly kissed in return. At the proper time the class and reascended the platform. They faced the temple, and in chorus, to the accompani- ment of music, recited their confession of faith. Rabbi Stern prayed: “May He keep and preserve you in your going out and in your coming home, now and _ forever. Amen.” The certificates of con! nm were handed the candidates, who thus be- came members of the Washington Hebrew Congregation. Benediction and muste closed the solemnities and the congregation filed out. The choir sang as few choirs in Wash- ington do, and-the work of Organist Walter, Mr. Nolan (basso), Mrs, Nolan Mar- tin (soprano) and Miss prano) was artistic. —____ FREDERICK. The movement to erecet a monument in Frederick to the memory of Francis Scott Key, author of “The Star Spangled Ban- ner,” who lies buried in Mt. Olivet ceme- tery here, has assumed definite shape by the appointment of a committee to formu- late plans for raising funds and report at a public meeting to be held in the city Opera House at an early date. There is already a fund of $400 available for the monument, and it is thought that severai thousand dol- Jars will be raised in a short time. The Rev. Dr. E. R. Ershbach preached a sermon in the Evangelical Reformed Church here Sunday, reviewing his twenty years’ pastorate of the charge, which was com- pleted @ week ago. in the evening Dr. | Srshbach preached the annual sermon to the students of the Woman's College, the | annual commencement: exercises of which begin on Monday. ‘ihe college being in its firs: year, there will be no graduates this time, but an art exhibition, concerts and elocutionary contests will be held.

THE CINCINNATI 10 GO IN COMMISSION The Portsmouth to Leave for a Cru CRAFT OF MODERN TYPE —_——_e—_—. NAVY YARD, BROOKLYN, June 9, 1894. The new 2,000-ton cruiser Marblehead has left the yard for Newport, where she will pared their gift with becoming patriotism, and, as “beggars should not be choosers,” the ship's people should be just as thank- ful. After this the Marblehead is to go to Bluefields. The old sailing frigate Portsmouth, with &@ hundred years of active service in almost every part of the globe, is still in commis- sion and will soon start on a summer cruise to Europe, with a crew composed mostly of apprentice boys. She has been under- going repairs to her masts rigging here. She is one of a class of ships which @ century ago were the pride of all Amer- ieans, and their long line of service shows that the pride was well f With her black hull lying low in the water, and the jong lines of square gunports for her old- style broadside battery, and the high masts whose rigging seems like a tangle, she is @ marked contrast oF wpe Cincinnati lying near her. Yet, tho she has no such latter-day improvements as electric lights, and must trust to luck wind and tide to get from port to port, service on her as a training ship is not unpleasant, for in the winter the time is spent in the West Indies and in the summer along the European coast, while twice a year there . a certainty of getting back to the United tates. Then in warm weather her decks are cooler than those of a steamer, with all the “old navy” was not without its comforts. ‘The Portsmouth is almost the last of her Une left in active service. The Constellation, that has served for many years as a prac- tice ship for the naval cadets on their summer cruises, has at last gone to New- port for a receiving ship, where the high ™masts that made her the fastest sailing warship in the for years will come the first rudiments of sea- And another — ship, ee Jamestown, dismasted and ismant! serves as a floating quarantine hospital at Hampton Roads, where she went when the cholera scare was in force last year. Yet another relic of the “old navy” is the hull of the old Vermont, now housed over and used as a receiving ship here, though her active service has been very smail. Laid down in the yeats just preceding the war of 1812, she was not launched for nearly twenty years, and then only went to sea a few times. The iast time was during the late war, when she left port for the gulf coast, loaded with supplies, but she lost her rudder and drifted hundreds of miles out of her course, so she had to be towed back into port. The Miantonomoh, which is here for a few minor repairs, is the only one of the re- modeled monitors now in commission, and her two years’ service has shown much of what may be expected from her class. In a moderate seaway her low deck is washed fore and aft, and the apertures around the revolving turrets have to be fitted with some contrivance to keep the water out. Thus fitted, the turrets will not turn easily, which results in limiting the moni- tor’s usefulness as a battleship to very smooth water. The Vesuvius has arrived at the yard. As every one knows, she is the only vessel in the world fitted with “dynamite guns,” so called. The idea of using a gun that will fire enough explosive material to destroy any vessel afloat with one shot ts certainly a fascinating one to a naval ordnance offi- cer. Though the difficulties to be overcome in the use of the pneumatic tubes which project the “dynamite shells” or cylindrical cases of explosive gelatine are many, the experts who have seen the Vesuvius at tar- get practice are hopeful and enthusiastic; but for general use the “dynamite gun” has few supporters. After all, the vessel is only a torpedo boat, firing her torpedoes through the air instead of through the water. She is built on very fine lines, and Is probably, next to the torpedo boat Cushing, the fast- est vessel in the navy. Putting the Cine ti in Commission On the 14th of this month Admiral Gher- ardi will formally put the new cruiser Cin- cinnatl In commission, and as soon there- after as all the little attachments that al- Ways seem necessary after a ship seems completed are in place she will go on her trial trip, which is expected to show that as good engines can be built in the govern- ment shops at the navy yard here as in the great private ship-bullding works. On the same day the people of Dobb's Ferry, N. Y¥., will celebrate the centennial of that place, and they feel that the occa- sion is important enough to demand the presence of a fleet; so the New York and Miantonomoh may take part. Though so loudly decried by many newspapers as a perverted use of war vessels and excur- | sions for their officers, the sending of ves- sels to take part in large celebrations is a good thing in one way, for it allows the people to see the new navy and appreciate it, and in a republic where the votes of the people are needed to build a navy it is not unwise to thus humor them. The New York is expected here soon from the West Indies. Much has been said in criticism of the big cruiser, but many nayy people think that mountains have been made of mole hills, for there are always many things about a ship of new design that require changing after a short trial in service, and the enthusiastic friends of the New York still claim she is the finest vessel of the cruiser type afloat. When she was at the yard before starting for Brezil the visitors amounted to several hundreds each day, sometimes almost a thousand people came to see the new ship, and it is probable that many will wish to see her now. The Lancaster has arrived from the Asi- atic station. She will be-put out of com- mission after many years of useful service. Twenty years ago the Lancaster was con- sidered one of the finest cruisers in the world, and her twelve-knot steaming was considered exceptional, for the liners took twelve days to cross the Atlantic then where now they take six. A comparison with the New York, which has almost dou- ble the speed and over twice the tonnage of the Lancaster, will show twenty years’ progress in naval architecture. Machias and Castine. The new gunboats, Machias and Castine, which are being lengthened in the drydock here, are well under way, and the frames and plates of the fourteen-foot midship sections which are being put in are nearly all in place, so that In a few weeks more they will be out of the dock, and, accord. ing to the preseut designs, free from their former serious fault of excessive “‘cranki- ness” or a tendency to be topheavy and roll too easil; The recent of exorbitant ture of money made by Foreman Mitchell against A.

A contest will be made over the estate off Mrs. Cetherine M. Shacklett, whose body. wes buried Saturday in the old Cathedral cemetery, at Philadelphia. She le*t about $40,000. On Friday the court had issued o writ of habeas corpus, and J. Ross Landers, upon whose application the writ was se- cured, visited the Presbyterian Hospital for the purpose of serving it, only to find that the woman was dead, as stated in Saturday's Star. In the morning Mr. Landers consulted with his attorneys about securing possession. of the body. They advised him that it would be unwise to engage in such litiga- tion, as it was likely to be protracted, ang that he had done his whole duty when he had demanded the . Landers ac- quiesced, but made up his mind to attend the funeral. Miss Carrigan, the dead wo- man’s half sister, had evidently expected Something of this sort, so early in the morning a coffin was procured, and the bedy was quietly taken from the Presby- terian Hospital to the nearby cemetery. Lawyer McCullen, for the sister and nieces, at once began the legal batile for the possession of the property. The first step was to file a caveat protesting aguinst the filing of any paper or papers purport- ing to be a will or granting of letters of administration or letters of any kind to any person, particularly to J. Ross Landers, claiming to have been the husband of the decedent. He then applied for letters of administration on behalf of those who claim to be the legal heirs. No sooner was this caveat fikd than Arundel & Moon filed for Landers a coun- ter protest. Landers, it is said, anticipated that there might have been a will made since the woman had been removed to the Presbyterian Hospital. The will that she made in his favor was placed in the safe of the Hotel Hanover, but after his arrest it was taken by those who were or the dead woman's sister. What became of this will Is told by Lawyer McCullen, who said: “After Mrs, Shacklett was removed to the hospital she directed that the i be canceled. She drew a line through her name, and then the will itself was destroyed. As to our future course my clients rest on their rights, not upon any will. There has been @ libel in divorce filed, and that telis her story. We will claim that there never was @ legal marriage, Mrs. Shacklett not being competent at the time to contract such legal obligation. As soon as we got her into the hospital she personally imstructed the superintendent not to permit to see her under any circumstances.” Lawyer Moon is of the opinion that his client has decidedly the best of the whole matter. The application for a divorce, he said, is, of course, now’ a nullity. Landers is now her widower beyond a doubt, and under the law is entitled to all her property, absolutely, and a life interest in her real property. The former is much more than the latter. Another proceeding is ended by the wo- man’s death. Landers was arrested for the larceny of her diamonds and indicted. The case has hung fire waiting for her re covery, but now falls. ———_-+e- TO HONOR A REFORMER. Monument in Memory of George Wile Mam Curtis, The Civil Service Reform Association, af- ter sounding the sentiment of many public- spirited cluzeas of America, have appointed & committee for the purpose of erecting a suitable memorial to the late George Will- jam Curtis. Interest in the movement seemed to be Widespread, and much affection was dis- played, not only for Mr. Curtis, but for his work, and those who designated the “Cur- Us memorial committee” include the names of poets and prose writers, presidents of colieges, painters, sculptors, divines, law- yers, bankers and pubiic men. This com- mittee, of which Seth Low is chairman, William Potts, secretary, and William L, Trenholm,’ treasurer, have unanimously voted to raise a fund of $25,000, to be de- voted in part to the procurement and erec- tion of an appropriate artistic monument, in the city of New York, as a permanent record of the outward presence of Mr. Cur- tis, and in part to the foundation and en- dowment of an annual course of lectures upon the duties of American citizenship and kindred subjects, under the title of the “Curtis Lectureship” or some similar desig- nation, the lectures delivered in such course to be annually published for distribution. This testimonial is believed to be due to future generations, that the unwearying courtesy, the genius for friendship, the lit- erary accomplishment, the oratorical power, the high ideal of citizenship, the devotion to duty, the purity of life and the nobility of character of the late George William Cure tis should be preserved by such memorial. The committee urge a popular subscrip- tion to this end, and the following names of the body will inspire confidence as to the care of and proper expenditure of the funds contributed, and even justify contributions: The committee consists of Henry M.Alden, Edward Cary, John W. Chadwick, Joseph H. Choate, Robert Collyer, Richard Watson Gilder, Parke Godw Henry E> Jcseph W. Harper, Eastman Johnson, Seth Low, A_R. MacDonough, Oswaid Otten- dorfer, John E.

Loss by Burning of Factories an@ Lumber 8600,000, The most destructive fire that ever vie- ited Dubuque, Iowa, was started about 6 o'clock Saturday night, it is supposed by a locomotive spark, in the Lesure’s lumber - yards. Within half an hour the fire had gained such headway that it swept through the lumber district with resistless force, and the fire department was helpless to stay its progress. Fully 10,000,000 feet of lumber were burned, besides the mills, warehouses and factories, causing a total loss of about $600,003, upon which there is an insurance ageregating $350,000. The principal losers are: Knapp, Stout & Co., $250,000; Lesure Lumber Company, $200,000; Standard Lumber Company, $30,- 000; Buggy Top Company, $10,000; ‘paper ) mills, $7,000; vinegar factory, $6,000.’ Stout's insurance amounts to $19,000; Lesure’s, $160,000. Other insigances range from $3,000 to $7,500 In each case. Several men were seriously injured, but there were ro fatalities. Three hundred men are thrown out of employment by the fire.
