THE OMAHA DAILY BEEIl FBIDAY , APRIL 8 , 1808. OBSERVING THE PASSOVER Deliverance of Itracl from Egyptian Bondage Symbolically Recalled. JEWS ENJOY THE FEAST OF FREEDOM Vennon Sot the Solemn Affair of I'ontilnr lU-llcf , lint IlcnJIr n. Glad 1'lme for Family > nrjolclncr. The members ot the different Jewish con gregations of ( ho city arc at present engaged In tlio observance of the IMfoovcr , or "The Feast of Freedom. " The festival opened on Wednesday night nnd will contltnue for one week. Itabbl Leo M. Franklin remarked last night that there Is a mistaken Impres sion In regard to ( din season. "I often hear the belief expressed , " said t > r. Franklin , "that during thla ueascn Jews confine them- eolvai to a diet of unleavened bread. While It Is true that matzco or Easter ccackcra arc substituted for the usual wheat bread , It does not by any means form the only article ot food Uficd. The ( significance of the un leavened bread of cour&o dateB from ttic departure of the Israelites from Egypt. All tlio first born In the land ot Egypt had been mitten by ( do hand of ( he Lord eavc only the leraelltes who were preserved by tfoo blood of the lamb on their llutcl poats. Then Pharaoh called for Mosc and Aaron on that very night and urged them to take their people out of Egypt , and such was their fear of a greater vengeance coming upon them that they compelled the Is raelites In ttie early morning tu take the dough before It was leavened , and also their kneading trougtia bound up In their clothed upon their fdouldcrs. " The I'apsovcr Is celebrated between the 15th and 21st days of the Jewish month , NUan , and Is at present celebrated more 88 a hallowed family fcact among the Jews. Those In this city who ore the most careful of form observe the prlnclp.il fesnt of the festival by reciting the story of Israel's de liverance at the dead of the table lined with their family and friends. As the dcatti and resurrection of Ctirlst coincide with the cele bration of the Pucsover , many of the sym bols and cercmonlea of this Jewish feast have passed Into the Christian Easter feast , receiving a broader and more Ideal sig nificance. In his lecture tonight on "Resurrection and Emancipation : A Comparison , " Dr. Franklin will point out the similarity of the two seasons and trace the probable origin of both to an old pagan festival In recog nition of the tossing of winter and the approach preach of spring- .

Nearly 200 High echool tui1enta met In the assembly room at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to listen to a very Interesting talk by W. 91. Gregg , a graduate of the Nebraska Institute for the ( Blind. The speaker dis cussed Borne ot the Inconveniences and ad vantages of the Ices of sight , drawing from his own experiences to show that the afflic tion was not without Us mitigations. He contended that until a pcreon IB deprived ol sight ho cannot appreciate the value ot the senses that remain to htm. He ! i a traveled over much of this country and has visited most ot Ita most magnificent scenery. In lilc condition of never-ending darkness ho cancel have any Idea of the grandeur around him , The brilliant effulgence of the starry hcavcne docs not exist for him. He can hear the songs of the birds , but cin > iot sre thcli plumage. A man must be In thli rendition bef/re ho can know what U meant to hear and emcll and feel. Mr. Gregg then showed to what extent the remaining senses may be cultivated tosupplj the place of the one that Is gone. He de clared that when riding la a carriage he ran tell when ho passes a tree or a post , anJ hov , far It Is away by the reverberations of the sound ot the carriage wheels. He can plane ! In the center of a room and by clapping hit hands or stamping his foot can tell how , fat away the walls are In each direction. If he wanted to go Into a downtowu business house ho can walk Into the door unerringly because - cause the door Is usually set a little bacl < from the main wall , nnd ho can apprehend the break In the wall by the sound waves which come back to him from a greatci distance. These are some of the Incident by which ho Illustrated the extent to whlcl the senses may be cultivated and his con < elusion Is that no one should be discouraged by an nflltctlon , but set to work to succeed In spite ot < t. He has 'found ' that hs ! blind ness Is even a greater advantage from nr Intellectual standpoint , as It enables him tc concentrate his attention on the effort ot the moment without the liability to dlstractlor by surrouadlng objects. His discourse on education was praptlca In Its thought , showing deep reflection anJ mature consideration. His Ideas are endorsed - dorsed < by Superintendent Pearso and Prln clpal Lcvlston.

Upon thi manner In which the miner has observn or neglected i\s \ precaution more than upoi a-ay othe- one thing will his success or fall uro depend.

LOCAL AGENTS IN ARMS AGAINST EASTERN Individual t/mlertrrltem' .Inundation , the MI > > < | M nnd Otlii-r For m of Mil tun I * Hunched Together fin thtt Enemy. As fierce a professional fight as has been waged In Nebraska In many a day Is now on , * and the contestants of both sides an nounce that It IB to be a fight to a finish. The resident agents of fire Insurance com panies have taken up arms against com panies list represented nor licensed to do neug in this state. Thousands of dollars In premiums , they maintain , arc going to New York and Chicago brokers to be placed In companies not legally entitled to dj busi ness In Nebraska On the other hand , the bulk ol ! the great wholesale firms of Omaha and many of the other leading houses of this city and state are Insured , partly or wholly , In the individual Underwriters' association and are well prepared to repulse any attack made on their right to enjoy the benefits of mutual tnmimnce. Hon. John F. Cornell , auditor of the state , who Is by virtue of his office the head and front of the state's In surance department , has'also taken a hand In the fight. The bone of contention Is burled la 'tho ' body of the laws of the commonwealth. Scc- tlcci 23 of the state laws on Insurance nets out that It shall not be lawful for any In surance company to take risks In the"stato or transact any business except In compli ance with certain qualifications. It Is pro vided that the paid Up captltal shall bo $200,000 , end that there shall be an attorney for the company resident In each county of the state. Section 20 of the same laws pro vides that an officer or person doing business or attempting to do business In the state for any Insurance company organized with out tlio state , falling to comply with any of the requirements ot the u'tate law , shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be Imprisoned In the county Jail for a period between thirty days sad six months and be fined not more than Jl.OOO. LEADING FIRMS AFFECTED. As there Is considerably over $3,000,000 worth of fire Insurance on Omaha property handled through outside agents , the local Insurance men are endeavoring to tiring the laws to work against the firms doing bust- ness with what they Insist are nonresldeat companies. Among the wholesale firms of this city who are members In the Individual Underwriters' association are : Rector Wll- helmy Hardware company ; Parlln , Oren- dcvff & Martin ; Blake , Bruce & Co. ; Mc- Cord-Brady company ; Cudahy Packing com pany ; Omaha Packing company ; F. P. Kirk- endall & Co. ; Lee Clarke , Andreesen Hard ware company. Because these and other prominent firms are subscribers to ths Individual Underwriters' association , the principal office of which Is located In New York , the Insurance agents maintain that they are violating the state's Insurance laws. la response to a statement for the other side of the controversy , one ot the leading merchants of-Omaha , a leader In 'the Indi vidual Underwriters , yesterday gave the following statement to The Bee : "State laws for the regulation of fire ln > sui'anco cannot control Uicic subscribers , foi the reason that they are not Incorporated they do not even form a partnership or an association , as they have no Joint furids , capital or stock , but each subscriber standt by himself. As all transactions are executed In New York they are subject to constiuc- tton and Interpretation under the laws ol that state , and not under the law : of any other state. The fact thai the prop erty which IB subject of inter-Insurance ma > be situated In some other state docs no change this position. "Subscribers as individual underwriter * have the same right to exchange Indemnity against the contingency of loss by fire as tc sell merchandise to each other. They art not In the fire Insurance business In an ] sense contemplated by the statutes of anj state , for no subscriber Insures anybody wh < does not In turn Insure him , the object belni the exchange of indemnity and not the male Ing of profit , which differentiates their opei atlons from those of fire Insurance eifllcet ; They do not eel ! or1 offer to eell Insurant ! to the public , but simply agree t'j indemnlf ; each other In cass of loss by fire , Mid thel transactions are confined to thU reci.roca ; guarantee for their own protection In thi course of their regular business , and Is m moio a pitoper object for state supervision control or Interference than would be th private affairs of a merchant who conclude ! to Insure himself Instead of buying poltclo from Insurance companies. "Proceedings of state officials against an ; of the subscribers or their attorneys ar usuaUy initiated at the Instigation ol irt-ur unco agents In Ignorance of the true statu and abandoned when explanation is n add but it persisted In would be contested on th ground that statutes do not contemplate thi case , and if they do they abridge the rlgh ot private contract and are therefore uncon etltutlonal. " LOCAL UNDERWRITERS COMBINE. The fire Insurance companies of Omah have recently entered Into an agreement t resign the agency of any company In thel agency that writes a policy over their head on any property In this city where the valu exceeds $200,000. They insist that the bOl of the local business la being carried on b the Individual Underwriters , through Lloyds mutuals and other companies that do not pa a cent of taxation to Nebraska. Under a re cent date all the agents In Omaha signed th following letter , which was addressed t Auditor Cornell and which has been keji quiet until this time : The undersigned , all locn.1 fire Insuranc igents In the city of Omaha , and rcprcsen ng as agents only such tire Insurance con- panles na have beeji legally licensed by you ollleo and companies that pay taxes to tli tnte , do- most respectfully peUtlon yoi > tllco to take some action to prelect N ( > rai ka fire Insurance agents * nnd the Insu' r.g public the same asi th ?

One of the oldest schemes in business is tlio odd penny Bchemo. When you go into a store nnd see an article marked at an odd figure like 1.87 or 1.00 or 1.98 you can make up your mind in nine cases out of ten that it paya a bigger profit than an article that is marked at a straight price. The man who invented the odd price trick did so to make money. Ho made it. Ho died nearly twenty years ago worth four million dollars , and some stores con tinue to charge heavy royalties for the use of his patent ever since. We don't use the odd-penny scheme. We don't like schemes. We want all of your time nncUyour attention for the quality of the goods wo sell you instead of bothering you to figure out how much you save on a 1. BO suit when you get it for 1.89. Today we open up for Easter a new lot of fancy little Junior suits at 1.00 , 1.25 , 1.50 , 1.75 and so on by quarters up to 8.75. That's as high as they go. You can find stores where they will allow you to pay 4.67 or 4.98 for the same suits. Unless you have some decided objection to saving money on your Easter purchases for the boys you will come and see the grand suits at 2.00 and 2.50 and the exquisite suits at 8.00 , 8.50 and 4.00. These last are new arrivals in Serges , Tricots and fancy Worsteds and they are bettor than any we have ever shown for the same prices.
