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- .

During Hie Lenten season Holy ThuroJay ,
which occurred yesterday , In the Catholic

swinging censers , and the priest and 1th
ministers , clothed In black vcs'tmenta , enter
and prostrate themselves at the foot ot the
altar. WlUlo they are praying the acolytes
cover It with one linen cloth. Then the
priest , with his minister , goes up to the
altar , which ho kisses In the middle , and a
reader begins the lessons. Two prophecies

Uien follows the reading of the passion ac
cording to St. John , after which a numbei

This Is followed by the unveiling and th <

nl I lie- Hitch School.
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.

To TliONC Comliin to AlaxUn or the
Klondike Hold KIclilN.
One thing should ba Impressed upon everj
miner , prospector or trader coming to Alaska
to the Klondike , or the Yukon country , am
that Is the necessity for providing an adequate
quato and proper food supply. Whether pro >
cured In the states , In the Dominion , or a
the supply stores here or further on , thli
must be his primary concern. 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.
These supplies must be healthful am
should bo concentrated , but the most carefu
attention In the selection of foods that wll
keep unimpaired Indefinitely under all th' '
conditions which they will have to encounte
Is Imperative. For Instance , as 'bread ' ralsci
with baking powder must be relied upon fo
the- chief part of every meal , Imaglao th >
helplessness ot a miner with a can of spollei
baking powder. 'Buy ' only the 'best flour ; I
Is the cheapest In the end. Experience ha
shown the Hoyal Uaklng Powder to be th' '
most reliable and the trading companies no\
uniformly supply this brand , as others wll
not keep In this climate. Be sure that th
bacon Is sweet , sound and thoroughly cured
Tlicao are the absolute necessities upo :
which all must place a chief reliance an
can under no clrcumstancr-a be neglected
They may , of course , be supplemented by a
many comforts or delicacies as the pros
pector may b"o able to pack or desire to pa
for. From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kiids of cookorj
which Is specially valuable for use upo

Royal Baking Powder Company , of No1
York. The receipts are thoroughly practlca
and the methois are carefully explained , s
that the Inexperienced may , with Its all

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

Saster Suits.
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. Bettor
said b-e-t-t-e-r.
