Class of Ten Little Girls Received Into Fellowship—Address by. Rabbi Stern," In the presence of a congregation which completely filled the magnificent new He- brew temple on 8th street, and with an impressive service of song and pratse to God, ten pretty little girls, daintily gowned in pure white, were this morning confirmed as children of Israel, and brought into the religion of their fathers. This was the first class to be confirmed in the new sacred edifice, and Rabbi Stern, who led the ceremonies, admonished the children to be proud of such distinction and honor. The confirmation exercises were preceded by the regular service of the day, toward the close of which the candidates for di- vine blessing entered the auditorium through the two main doors, half of the number marching up either aisle, and each child carrying a pretty bouquet of flowers. Upon taking their seats in the chancel the girls deposited the floral tributes on the already profusely deecorated altar. The candidates for confirmation were: Misses Irma Stern, daughter of the rabbi; Mabel Blumenthal, Cecelia Lowenthal, Edna Dreyfuss, Miriam Prince, Jennie San- ger, Bertha Lowenthal, Ray Hahn, Carrie Baer and Savina Goldsmith. Little Miss Bertha Lowenthal made the opening prayer, invoking the ald of God in the endeavors of His children to lead up- right, religious and virtuous lives, and praying that He might receive them into His holy congregation. Tested by Rabbi Stern, The class was then put through a cate- chism on the subject of the fundamental principles of Judaism, Rabbi Stern acting as interrogator. The children by their an- swers proved themselves to be thoroughly familiar with their religious belief, the his- tory of their church and their duty upon entering it. This ceremony was followed by brief remarks from the children on vari- ous religious topics. Miss Irma Stern spoke on the subject of “The Unity of God,” say- ing that the belief in one universal ruler is the Hebrew’s standard and his comfort. Miss Mabel Blumenthal spoke on “immor- tality." She declared that immortality of the soul is the sweetest thought of the truly religious; the thought and belief that after the night of death there comes a rosy dawn and a bright day whose sun never sets—a life everlasting. ‘The Messianic Idea’ was discussed by Miss Cecelia Lowenthal. When all persons dwell in unity, when there is universal peace and fellowship among all men, when all are united in the worship of one God, she declared, then would be the time of the Messiah. And to such a glori- ous time the Hebrew looks forward with earnestness and devotion. Miss Miriam Prince chose as her subject hich Is the True Religion?” “We are all brothers and sisters,” she declared, “and the children of on» Heavenly Father. Our deeds must attest our faith.” She was pre- ceded by Miss Bdna Dreyfuss, who spoke of “The Mission of the Propkets,” declaring that they were the uncompromising ex- Penents of justice and righteousness. “Sac- rifice and Prayer” was Miss Jennie San- gers theme. She urged devotion in pray- ing, saying that prayer without devotion is like the body without thé soul. Miss Ber- tha Lowenthal spoke on “A Lesson of the Seventh Month,” Miss Ray Hahn on “Edu- cation,” Miss Carrie Bae? on “Reverence” and Miss Savina Goldsmith 6h “The Jew ard His Country.” Miss Hahn said that the Jew has always loved and fostered edu- cation. Miss Goldsmith said that she re- jciced in the citizenship of a country that has never questioned the rights and liber- ty of its people in their réligious belief, Addresn to the Class, Rabbi Stern then addressed the class, de- ciaring that on the religfous education of the children depends th: safety of the Union. “Who can complete the work we leave incomplete and finish the tasks w leave unfinished,” said he, “if not our chil- dren? They ar to aid in-building our great tabernacle of religious faith on the princi- ples of the unity of Our Father and the brotherhood of man. To imbu2 them with a sense of their duty and to impress upon them the importance of their future woric are the objects of confirmation. “Not only the girls, but the boys as well stould be filled with the spirit of the church and imbued with its principles. It Is a matter of deep regret that of late years the boys have rarely entered our confirma- tion classes. The neglect in preparin, them for the church and for a better life is a sin that I hope will soon be rectified. An Exhortation. “Never forget,” concluded the rabbi, in addressing the class, “that you are daugh- ters of Isracl—a distinction and a title of hcror. Remember your sacred promises, and do not beccme a stranger in the church. Never hesitate to identify yourself with ary movement that may have for its ob- ject the promotion of Judaism and thy ad- Vancement of religion. May the blessings of your parents be realized and fulfilled. Pray children that you may not disappoint them in any of their hopes or reasonable expectations. In being blessed may you become a blessing to yourselves, to the world around you—a blessing in every sense of the word.” Leaving their seats on tae chancel ele- vation the children passed down into the congregation, where they received their parents’ blessing, the choir singing the blessed hymn. ‘The children again ascended the platform, made their confession of the faith and were blessed again by the min- ister. The service was most impressive through- out. The closing prayer was offered up by Miss Jennie Sanger, and the services were concluded. a ee A WORN-OUT SONG NOW.” Auditor Castle's View of Free Silver in Minnesota. Auditor Henry A. Castle of the Post Of- fice Department has just returned from a trip through Minnesota. During his stay he acquainted himself with the political situation. In conversation with a reporter of The Star today, he said: “The republicans in Minnesota will turn out in force this year and give a good big jority for its candidates. All of the ven representatives will be returned with handsome majorities. In the Duluth dis- trict there will be somewhat of a fight. Judge Page Morris is running for re-elec- tion and his predecessor, Charles A. Towne, is opposed to him. Mr. Towne was a re- publican up to the time of the free silver agitation when he became a democrat. The democrats in Minnesota have combined with the populists and are. making the fight for free silver. Byt that is an old Worh-out song now and th? republicans will have no trouble in sweeping the state. You know We have never ‘had!a democratic governor since 1850 and. donst want any. Ex-Congressman John Lynn ds the demo- cratic nominee for governor, The repub- licans have William H. Eustis, ex-mayor of 1 Minneapolis. He is an exceptfonally bright man and magnificent orator. The cam- paign has already opened im:earnest und Senator Nelscn is on the stump. Before Senator Davis left for Paris, he made one specch and did considerable in the way of organizing the party. By the way, the term of Senator Davis expires this year, but he wiil be promptly returned. The people throughout the state heartily in- dorse the administration and believe in Senator Davis’ plan of, holding at least the Island of Luzon in the-Phiippines. The progress of the war was entirely satisfac- tory to the people.” : WESTE RN PRESBYTERIAN CHU SPIRITUALISM. ested are invited to examine the maps and plats.

The President notified the American military commissions in Porto Rico and Cuba thai the evacuation of those islands must be ac- complished by October 18 and December 1, respectively. The peace commission held several sessions at Paris and the American demands concerning the Philippines were made known to the Spanish representatives; many Tumors to the effect that Spain would decline to accede to these demands, but later accounts indicated a more pacific frame of mind on the part of the Spanish authorities; Maj. Gen. Merritt arrived in ?aris from Manila and consulted with the American commissioners concerning the future of the islands, being strongly of the opinion that the United States should re- tain possession of them; he reported the natives as desiring an American protector- ate; Agoncillo, representative of the Phil- ippine insurgents, left Washington, where -he was unable to obtain an audience with the President or the Secretary of State, end Went to Paris, where, he was told, the peace commissioners would grant him a hearing. Much suffering was reported from Cuba as existing among the poor classes and the Cuban soldiery; a sentiment in favor of the election of Maximo Gomez as president of the Cuban republic was spread through the island. Robert P. Porter, sent to Cuba to Investigate the financial question, re- turned with the recommendation that the present tariff rates be reduced one-half. The president appointed Dr. DavidJ. Hill of Rochester, N. Y., first assistant secre- tary of state to succeed Prof. J. B. Moore. It was asserted that this government had determined to press vigorously the Ameri- can demand upon Turkey for indemnit growing out of the damages suffered by American missionaries in Armenia at the time of the massacres and riots in that country; Minister Straus, recently appoint- ed, arrived at Constantinople.

Foreign Affairs. Owing to recent rioting in Pekin, in which Europeans were assaulted, armed forces were dispatched by the powers at the re- quest of the foreign representatives; the Chinese officials demurred, but finally yield- ed and the troops were permitted to enter the capital; various rumors concerning the emperor were in circulation and denied, it being asserted at the close of the week that he had committed suicide and that the dowager empress had chosen her illegit!- mate son as his successor. A strike occur- red in Paris among the workmen engaged in the building trades and threatened to grow into serious proportions, especially in view of the disturbed state of the public mind over the Dreyfus case. A joint de- mand was made by the powers upon the sultan for the withdrawal of the Turkish troops from Crete and at last accounts he had decided to yleld to the demand. It was reported that owing to American pro- tests all negotiations for the transfer of Delagoa bay to British control had been postponed for the present. It was reported from Jamaica that many colonists were leaving the island because of the industrial depression; some rioting by negroes occur- red and police and troops were dispatched to the scenes of trouble.

Grosvenor Ridicules Complaints of Suffering by the Troops. Representatives Grosvenor of Ohio and Curtis of Iowa, who have been making campaign speeches in ths west, are in the ety. Gen. Grosvenor says that the old soldiers throughout the country are laugh- ing at the talk that there was any severe suffering among the soldiers in the Spaa- ish-American war. “I recently addressed an audience of vet- erans,” said Gen. Grosvenor, “and read to them a letter which had been received by an Ohio mother from her son at Santiago. The lettor ran: ‘My dear mother, I want to tell you how sham=fully cur government is treating us. We were in the trenches at Santiago four days and did not have any- thing to eat but bread, meat, canned goods, stgar and coffee.’ The old soldiers fairly roared with laughter,” said Gen. Grosv2nor. “That letter is an illustration of much of the complaint which has come to the front. I have known federal soldiers to go eleven days on rations f6r four.” —_—————\§*> 0 +—______ If you are in the habit of doing much sewing, do not bite off the thread. Use a pair of scissors.
