NEW HEBREW TEMPLE Handsome Structure to Replace the Eighth Street Synagogue. —— ELABORATE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN The Probable Cost of the Edifice Placed at $120,000. RABBIS) SILVEK JUBILEE The new temple of the Hebrew Reform Congregation, which is to be erected on the site of the structure used by them for a@ generation past, on 8th street near H, will, it is intended, be such an edifice as will reflect credit upon the enterprise of the members, and worthy to be ranked with any house of worship in Washington. While the contract price for the building was about $60,000, The Star ts informed that the architects, Messrs. Stutz and Pease, will be authorized to spend nearly or quite as much more in furnishings and in interior decorations, the organ alone to cost not less than $8,000. The entire ex- penditure to be incurred will, it is ex- pected, be from $100,000 to $120,000, and, so far as it will be possible to do so, all the material will be purchased from and work executed by residents of the District of Columbia. As above stated, the new temple will be lecated on the site of the present struc- ture, so far as that will admit, but addi- tional ground has been secured to allow the building to have a frontage of 90 feet and a depth of 100 feet. Architectural Design. The building will be monumental, pos- sessing the characteristic dignity and rich- ness of the eastern style of architecture, and suggestive of the ancient traditions of the Jewish faith, arranged and adapted to conform to modern requirements. The two towers, with belvederes 135 feet above the sidewalk, and the semi-circular window, 35 feet in diameter, in the center portion of the facade, filled with stone tracery and the Shield of David, with the broad treatment of lines and proportions, wiil render the whole attractive and beau- tiful, an ornament to the city, of which the Hebrew congregation may well be proud. The front and towers will be faced with granite and Berea sandstone, with granite base course, entrance steps and platforms. The entrance story will be devoted to school rooms, assembly hall, library, jani- tors and toilet rooms. Fire-proof vaults will also be constructed to insure the safety of records and vestments. The school rooms will be so arranged and divided by folding glazed partitions that they may all be converted into cne large room. The main entrance vesti- bules will have tiled floors, and two fire- proof staircases will lead to the auditorium vesibule and to the galleries. Fire-proot staircases at rear will lead from the en- trance story to the auditorium and choir gallery. From the vestibule four large entrances will open into the auditorium, which is lighted by large circular windows on the four sides, and from the spacious dome forty-five feet in diameter, which is the “chef de ouvre’ of a temple, and is sup- ported by four columns, arched between, and all producing a grained arch effec Around three sides will be spacious gal- leries, and at the sides of the altar, organ and choir galleries. Stained Glass for Lighting. The auditorium will be lighted by staincd glass of ornamental and appropriate de- sign in windows and dome, the whole rro- ducing a subdued and uniform illumina- tion. At night the entire temple may be lighted by a combination of gas and elec- tricity. Adjacent to the auditorium will be the rabbl's room, easily accessible, and rooms for the accommodation of the officers, with toflet rooms adjacent. ‘The interfor of. the temple will be high- ly finished in hardwood and plaster, cr- namented and enriched, and susceptible of fine decoration in color. The done roof and roofs of towers will be covered -with copper, gilded, and the finials will be bur- nished. in the cellar the steam heating and ven- tilating apparatus will be placed, with am- ple facilities for storage of coal. ‘The temple will provide seating for about 1,500 persons. The accepted design is the result of com- petition entered into by several local. ar- chitects. Messrs. Lewis F. Stutz and Frank W. Pease won the prize purely on the merits of their design, and the numer- ous favorable commendations received by the building committee of the congrega- tion is assurance of earnest support in carrying out the details of fitting the tem- ple ready for service. The Congregation. The Hebrew congregation was chartered under fhe laws of Congress in 1854, but it was not until some months later that an organization was fully accomplished. At this time there were sixty male mem- bers, among whom were I. L. Blout, H. King, jr., S. Fishman, 8S. Heller, L. Rosen- berg, M. Hoffa, H. Hoffa, 8S. Herman, J. P. Herman, H. Franc, G. Lansburgh, W. Gersdorf, W. Wolf, H. Strasberger, Strasberger, M. Cohen, L. Barr, H. Blout, W. Nordlinger, 8. N. Meyer, M. Op- penheimer and Adolf Adler, A. 8. Solo- mons, 8. Samstag, N. Siegel of New Yo B, Kaufman of Chicago and E. ‘Kaufman of Baltimore. Until 1863, when the building which is about to be torn down was purchased from the society met portion the Southern Methodist: in various halls in the central of the city. In 1870 the majority of the so- ciety voted to have pews, a choir and an organ, in consequence of which a number of those who held extreme orthodox views on those subjects withdrew, and formed the congregation- which now worships Until the new temple is it 1s expected will require | the congregation will occupy Carroll In- stitute Hall. Rabbi Stern’s Silver Jubilee. The silver jubilee of Rabbi L. Stern as pastor of the congregation was celebrated last evening in the temporary place of worship, in the presence of an immense audience, a portion of whom had to stand during the entire ceremonies. After the usual religious services, which were conducted by Dr Stern, Mr. Henty King, jr., president of the congregation, arose, and, addressing ihe minister, said: “Rev. Stern: At the last annual meeting of our congregation it was unanimously resolved that a fitting recognition be ten- dered to you for the twenty-five years of valuable services so conscientiously ren- dered by you to our congregation, and that a committee be empowered to carry out the It was our original intention to carry out this object and to tender our gratitude during the farewell service in our temple, where we have worshiped for so many years, in which you have so earn- estly, conscientiously and so ab'y adminis- tered to our spiritual wanis and worked so zealously for our spiritual welfare, as well as for the elevation of Judaism. “Your voice has ever gone forth in trum- pet tones in defense of our holy cause. It has ever been your highest ambiticn to lead our congregation in the precepts of our glorious religion, to plant in the hearts of young and old the seeds of our faith, to foster and to perpetuate it. You can look back on your twenty-five years of service in our congregation with just pride for what you have accomplished. History will accord to you the distinction of having been the most potent factor in all that has led to our present prospcrity. No Saerifice Too Great. “In your sacred calling as our minister no work or sacrifice has been too great for you in administering to the needs of our congregation and in leading us onward in the path of duty as true Israelites. It must be a great gratification to you that your labors have not been in vain. You are enshrined in our hearts in reverence, love and esteem. You have by your nobil- Ity of character, gentle disposition and kindness of heart endeared yourself to all who have come within the circle of your influence. “Yours has been a life of devotion to your sacred calling, to humanity, to char- ity and in all that is sublime and noble. No one can judge you better and appre- ciate your qualities more than I, who have come in close contact with you as presi- dent of the Washington Hebrew congrega- tion during the last thirteen years. “May heaven, grant us the blessing tnat you may be permitted for many years to ccntinue in your noble mission, to lead us cnward in our path of duty. In conclusion, permit me to carry out the most pleasant duty assigned to me, which it is my great privilege to discharge, to tender this testi- monial as a token of our regard, love and esteem, as well. The resolutions express- ive of all that we feel, and how highly you are appreciated and cherished by one and ail of the members of our beloved congre- gation, have already been tendered to you by our esteemed brother, Simon Wolf, at the farewell service in our temple. Once more, I thank you, and may God bless you.” Mr. King then handed Dr. Stern a check or one of the Washington banks for $450, a gift from the members of the congrega- tion. The Response. In reply to President King’s address, Dr. Stern said, in part, that there were times in a man’s life when words failed to ex- press the feelings of his heart; such an occasion was the present. After expressing his deep gratitude to the members for their kindness to him, and to the president for his highly eulogistic words, Dr. Stern con- trasted the Washington of twenty-five years ago with that of today. In 1872, he said, there was no Washing- ton monument, no public library building, no fine streets such as exist today; while the congregation of the temple has in- greased from a membership of 60 to about 275. At the conclusion of Dr. Stern’s address he held an informal reception, and most of those present went forward and extended their congratulations. The officers of the congregation are: President, Henry King, jr.; vice president, Ph. Peyser; treasurer, J. Eisenmann; re- cording secretary, A. ‘Adier; financial’ sec- retary, S. V. Meyer. The board of direc- tors are the president, vice president, treasurer and Messrs. Meyer Loeb, L. Heil- brun, Julius Sondheimer and Ben. Solo- mon. The building committee in charge of the construction of the new temple is com- pcsed of Messrs. Wm. Hahn, chairman; A. Behrend, secretary; Julius Sondheimer, Meyer Loeb, I. Luchs and M. Kaufman. ee ones Saturday and Sunday Excursions to the Country.

What is probably one of the finest coun- try homes of its kind in this section has just been completed, under the supervision of Messrs. Hornblower & Marshall, archi- tects, for the orphan asylum of St. John’s Protestant Episcopal-Church. The build- ing is located on the heights overlooking the city, near Arlington, and has been erected to replace the old home, severely damaged by the storm of last October. The home is now being fitted up with fur- niture, and when fully furnished, which will be within the next few days, will not only be an ideal edifice of its kind, but also the only one supported by Washington people which was built expressly for the purpose for which it is being used. Sister Sarah of St. John’s Orphanage will have charge of the home this ‘summer, and is preparing to remove her little charges to their summer quarters. : The building is of brick, two stories in height, and presents the appearance from the outside, which is sustained by observa- tion of the ingerior, of being an airy and roomy structure. There are about a hun- dre@ rooms in all on the two floors. Around @ portion of the lower floor there is a wide veranda, and several doors give access from all sides. A covered passageway con- nects the new buildirg with the old wooden frame hone, which has been restored and strengthened. Modern conveniences of every description, as well as a complete fireproof system, serve to complete the building. The total cost, inclusive of everything, the money to meet which has all been raised in cash from among St. John's congregation, is in the neighborhood of $10,000. In addition to the home, St. John’s parish is also adding a vestibule and stairway to the gallery of the church, to insure better exit facilities, The rector, Rev. Dr. Alexander Mackay- Smith, has joined his family in Europe, leaving the assistant minister, Rev. R. 8. W. Wood, to conduct the services through the summer, EXCURSIONS. Marshall Hall, “where the cool breeszeg blow,” will be the Mecca of any number of Persons tomorrow if the thermometer ‘should make up its mind to retain its pres- ent elevated position. .The Hall is always Pleasant and inviting, and on a hot, sultry day is absolutely a haven of rest for those who cannot get out of the city for an ex- tended stay. The cuisine at the Hall is as good as can be found at an excursion resort in this vicinity. The Macalester will make her regular trips. Schroeder's Orchestra will give its usual Sunday after- moon concert on the lawn and will other- wise add by its music to the general en- joyment of the day. The Macalester will make her regular trip to. Marshall Hall aut Indian Head at 6:30 o'clock this even- ing. A reunion of the Odd Fellows of Mary- land and the District of Columbia will take place at Bay Ridge next Wednesday. An interesting program has been arranged, in- cluding addresses by prominent members of the order of national reputation. Trains ‘will leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 9:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and It is ex- pected that a large number of Odd Fellows of the District, with their families, will make the trip. One of the largest excursions each year is that of the Boston House Employes’ Re- lief Association to Marshall Hall, and this Season's outing promises to be the largest that has been given for some time. The outing this year will be given Tuesday evening next on the steamer Macalester, which will leave at-6:30 o'clock. The tickets, however, which may be purchased at the Boston House, will be good on any of the day trips of the boat. Schroeder's Orches- tra will be on hand and dancing will be the chief feature. Washingtonians who desire to spend an evening or all day at an excursion resort need not go far from the city, for they can be accommodated at Chevy Chase. It is easy of access and may be reached at almost any minute of the day or evening. Donch's Band is in attendance every even- irg and furnishes excellent music for dancing in the pavilion. Besides this at- traction there are a shooting gallery,a mer- ry-go-round, a bowling alley, a’ coon’s head, at which hard balls may be throw and the hydrocycles on the lake.

REVIEW OF CONDITIONS If you ask a real estate dealer what is the condition of business he will tell you it is dull as the back of a case knife; if you ask a builder who puts up the structures that increase the value of real estate. the same question, he will tell you-it is better than he had expected it to be when the season began. So it all depends upon the way the condition is regarded. Ever in what were known as boom years the sum- mers were dull, when the sales of prop- erty were considered, so the present apathy in that branch of the business is only natural. There is a large amount of build- ing going on, however, as any one with half an eye can observe. Four months ago no one had the most remote idea that this summer would show any material signs of activity in realty improvement, but as the weeks wore on there were steady evidences given that the summer would see con- siderable liveliness, and consequently a much better time has been enjoyed by the buiiding trades than was expected. ‘The character of many of the buildings now in course of erection is important in the effect that will probably result.

W.; a bicycle polo con- test between the Blue Grass and Eclipse polo teams for the championship of the District; fancy bicycle riding, prize danc- ing and the usual games and prizes for children. There will also be dancing dur- ing the entire day and evening. The bi- cycle polo game will be very interesting, and will in all probability be an entirely novel sight to the greater part of those who see it. The Pentz will make her usual trips, and tickets will be good on any one of them. Sundays are always very popular at River View, and every week hundreds of persons whose business keeps them closely confined on working days take advantage of the Sunday holiday to spend the day on the View's cool and shady lawns, free from the heat and noises of the city.

Pentz will leave her wharf at 11 a.m., 2:45 and 6 p.m., and, re- turning, will leave River View at 1, 5, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Besides the “chute,” which will be ready to afford amusement to all, the dozens of other amusements will be working, and there will be the usual con- certs on the steamer and grounds by the River View Band and Orchestra, under the leadership of Chris.
