KOSH HASHONA IS A TRUMPET CALL
(4s to Awake Men to Their Doty
Toward th Creator, Marking;
Man's laabllltr and God's
Endnrancc.
Before n altar surrounded with bunked
Bower and palms and to a congregation
Biting every seat. Rabbi Blmon preached
yesterday evening In the Harney Street
temple the sermon of Rosh Hashona, the
fewlsh New Tear. He said In part:
"Generations may corn and generations
Biay go, but the world goes on forever.
Dnce more It Is my privilege, under Qod's
tare, to greet you, in good old fashion, all
if you who have come here under the fer
ror and the strength of the New Tear.
There Is something of magic In this Rosh
Hashona, something given to no other
flay. Tou compare It with January 1, but
the significance of January 1 fades Into
nothing beside the feelings roused by
Rosh Hashona.
"There Is a spell In this year not so
much because it marks the passage of 32
flays, not so much because It puts you In
thought of your fathers through the thou
sands of years; but there 'Is besides all
this a certain aspect that makes It strictly
personal. It compels you to bring before
your mental vision the past. Try as you
may to call up other visions, It cannot be-
up come the memories of things which
have brought you sadness through the
year, of visions that have brought you Joy,
Eternity and Temporal Chanae.
"We change, but the earth goes on for-
ver. Not only so far as you and I are
concerned, but nations, religions; there Is
a constant ebb and flow. Everything
seems In motion; flowering, budding and
decaying. But the earth stands forth for
ever.
"The old rabbis divided their prayer Into
three parts king, memorial and trumpet.
God la King. Changes may come; the
earth, the planets, human life; God Is
eternal Master and Lord of all. What
ever Is In the universe Is only a memorial
of God. Everything is an expression of
God the King. Life comes from God
matter comes from God, all heart aches,
all triumphs. These are worthless, Hlegl
ble, unappreclable for us unless marked
In tones of God. Therefore the trumpet
that. Is to fall a halt to old manner of
living and Introduce new Ideals.
"Friends, this year will be nothing to
you unless you take It In this way.
might take up my time In bringing tears
to your eye, but the holiday Is too se
rlous and the need of the lesson I preach
tonight Is the most Imperative. We are
going on too carelessly, all forgetfulness.
We need a trumpet call to wake us to a
conception. We need this lesBon. This
holiday brings back the Jew to his herl
tage; It tells the Jew that If he would
be honest with himself, he must come
bach to the old conception. 80 If you
ask me for a word, a greeting for this
day, I will 'Generations may come
and generations may go, but the solid
things of this earth are In the hands of
"God, the One unchanging, immutable.'"
SCIENCE SETTLES IT.
Daairal la Caused by a Germ that
t . Baps the Hair's Vitality.
It la now a settled fact that dandruff Is
caused by a germ. Falling hair and bald
ties are the result of dandruff. , Dr. .E. J,

th new hair preparation, Newbro's Herpl
dde the only one that kills the dandruff
germ. Ha says: - "I used Herplclde for my
dandruff and falling hair, and am welt
satisfied with the result." Dr. J. I. Fu
gate of Crbana, 111., says: "I have used
Herplclde for dandruff with excellent re

Capitol avenue, fell from the wall of the
Poor Clare convent. Twenty-ninth and

o'clock and sustained a fracture at tho
base of the skull which It I thought will

hospital In a very critical condition.
Goodman was employed by the sister at
tb convent to move a stove. The stove
had to be lifted over the wall, and he was
upon the wall attempting to lower the
stove to the ground, when he lost his
footing and fell. He was found by some
of the inmates of the convent a few min
ute after the accident occurred. In ad
dition to the fracture he also had a sever
cut on th back of his head.

Tenth street, took charge of the team of
the Injured man.

A Deserted Bride" at the Boyd.
Another of those stories In which a
worthless father seeks to live without
working at the expense of a beautiful
daughter Is told In "A Inserted BrlJe." It
Involves a lover with a heart of gold, a
factory foreman whose moral code Is
warped to his eelflsh desire and a girl who
has been deceived, but finds It out and
Anally rebels. Miss Rosabel Morrison Is
the girl, and she bears her lot of misery
and drudgery with much fortitude and a
degree of histrionic ability . not, often ded
icated to eurh purposes to the end, where
all la set right. Miss Morrison 1 really a
clever actresa and la supported by a com
pany fairly well adapted for the play. A
comedy element relieves the dark pictures
of the piece and this is well handled. "The
Deserted Bride" will continue at the Boyd
until after Wednesday night, with a mat
inee on Wednesday.
BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
'Alpha" Fire Farewell Shot at Do
fenders of Jsdge Salllvan's
Straddle.
OMAHA, Bept. 21. To the Editor of The
Ecc: The number of complete rf plica that
Mr. Rush's criticism of Judge Sullivan's
decision has evoked would Indicate that
the shot did some damage to the target.
The recent letter of tho writer was called
forth by the fact that Mr. Rush Is not at
home and cannot well notice the complete
replies.
The writer would Ilk to have the op
portunity to explain for good the position
of Mr. Rush and himself on this question.
Wo never pretended or professed to be
able to show any mere verbal variation in
the decision with the constitution of the
state. We never questioned the fact that
as a mere verbal expression, or congeries
of words. It was or was not good law.
The counsel for the defenss tries to shift
tho issue. While we were trying to prove
one thing, he In reply wa proving another
thing. He attacked some of Mr. Rush's
points In detail, but with disastrous re
sults to himself. Whenever he looked out
of the legal rathole In which ha took ref
uge he had reason to regret th action.
In addition to his declaration of the law
In the cape the judge said things that In
view of the situation whloh he krows ex
ists In this state convinced us that h wa
straddling, that while he was closing one
door he was opening another, that he was
blowing hot and cold at one and the same
time. We are not alone In considering the
supreme court of Nebraska capable ot Just
such an Inconsistency. Indeed w have
heard eastern lawyers say that when the
Nebraska supreme court Is mentioned In
legal circle back east the auditors just
laugh. People do not forget the treatment
by the Nebraska supreme court of the
Boyd-Thayer case and the fire and police
commission cases, not to mention some
other Interesting matters. Without doubt
the popular mind has Its misgiving "a
priori" concerning the reliability of the
supreme court when a case of public and
critical Importance comes before It.
And now to return to our mutton: The
New Tork Independent, Presbyterian, In
an article already quoted by The Bee dep
recates the attempt to Introduce the Bible
Into the public schools disguised as a mere
literary work. This religious organ Insist
that uch an attempt would be dishonest,
as we all know It would be. Shortly after
the Issue of the decision In the Beatrice
case there was a convention here In Omsha
of tho evangelical churches. At the open
Ing of that convention appeared Mayor
Moorcs and Si la Holcomb. In his ad
drtss Mayor Moore deplored the exclusion
of th Bible from the public school and
oolnted to Silas Holcomb a one of th
judges who did not approve of the decision.
Now come Judge Sullivan with another de
cision and, whll professing to adhere lo
tho first decision, tells the people who
were contending for the religious use of the
Bible In th schools that they may law
fully use It therein as a work of litera
ture. He says this while he knows, aa we
all know, that It Is simply Impossible to
treat the Bible as a mere literary work in
view of Its character and th faith and
sentiments regarding It of the people or
this state. He say thl whlla he knows.
If he ha any sense left, that the secular
isation of th Bible would destroy In many
whatever reverence Is yet felt for It lead
to Infidelity and even Indecency. He say
this while h know that the Christian
people of this state would not permit the
desecration of their ho!y book In the man
ner described. When, therefore, th Judge
suKB-ested the use of the Bible aa a lit
erary work In the schools he wa simply
throwing a tub to a whale. HI decision
wa In reality a op to Cerberu. In ad
dition to these considerations we now get
th Information that even Sila Holcomb
agree with the second decision. Our con
clusion, therefore, that If Mr. Holcomb
was satisfied with this second decision the
advocates of Bible reading In the school
are satisfied. If the camel can only get
his head under the tent he will be satis
fied. HI head may be labelled "Litera
ture." but his hump the Judge knows as
well as we do what that will be.
We have to bear In mind also the sus
picious handling of the term "sectarian
Ism." Neither th Beatrice teacher nor
any other teacher who read the Bible to
the pupil will admit for a moment that
uch reading 1 sectarian. No, perish ths
thought! Aa ther Is a dlsput amongst
Christians as to what sectarianism Is It I
certainly a subterfuge to tell us that th
Blbl may be used In. th school, but not
In a sectarian manner.
These ere the consideration that render
Judge Bulllvan's decision misleading and
dishonest. If to say so be treason, make
the moat of It.
W hope Mr. Estabrook never said, ex
cept as a Joke, what the counsel for the
defense ascribes to him. We fear that the
counsel for the defense Is too phlegmatlo
to understand Mr. Estabrook thoroughly.
He la a very bright and genial gentleman,
but If he said In a serious mood that
ethics doa not supply a premise he cer
tainly was not coruscating Just at that
particular moment. Supposing him to havs
been serious at the moment, all we ahall
asy Is that even Homer used to nod some
time. We prefer to think that he was
jokirg. As ths poet has said. "A little
nonsense now and then Is relished by th
best ct men."
Much obliged, Mr. Editor, for your cour-
tesy.

BOULEVARDS AND THE PARKS
Commissioner Cornish Toll the Or
chard Hill Improvement Club
of 'Plans.
"The Missouri river, with Its great force
and grandeur, with its broad sweep of blue
water and with Ms sand and mud. I grant
you is distinctly Omaha's chiefest feature
in the matter of boulevard and park.' It
1 an unique feature, the force and maj
esty of which has never been appreciated."
in these words Park Commissioner E. J.
Cornish responded to an Invitation to speak
of the parks of the city from the standpoint
of one In a position to know, before the
Orchard Hill Improvement club at Its hall
last evening. Mr. Cornish's talk waa full
of salient points and suggestions. He spoke
of the future of the park system In Omaha,
saying in part: "Th Idea of the park
board la to give Omaha a connected system
of boulevards, utilizing the low ground, the
vale and property which would, If not
beautified by the city, become the abode of
objectionable people and thus depreciate
the valu of the surrounding property.
'Th Idea of th park board 1 simply to
extend tb Bemls park system; to give the
city a grand connected central boulevard
from Rlvervlew to Cut OS Lak."
Mr. Cornish spoke at length of tb advan
tage that would accrue from making Cut
Off Lake the terminus of tha proposed
boulevard. It would become th "Lincoln
park" of Omaha, tha place where resident
could gather for sports in summer and win
ter. All tha park of th city are noted for
the grandeur and number of their hill. Cut
Off Lak would be the on level spot and
therefor most desirable. The park board
la not decided a to which of three route
for th extension of the central boulevard
system to the north would be adopted and
he came to tell th various clubs of the
north end to get together and devise the
most feasible plan to tnak tha boulevard a
tangible reality.
The club wa well represented to hear
Mr. Cornish, and a newly constructed ad
dition to the audience room. Increasing Its
seaUng capacity to double what It formerly
had been, was the subject of much favora
ble comment.
A number of Prospect Hill "Improvers"
wer present on Invitation to hear Mr. Cor
nish and several spoke In reference to the
proposed boulevard plan, each and all of
them Indorsing It in the most unqualified
terms.
W. II. Green, chairman of the Southwest
ern Improvement club, also one of the
speakers of the evening, told how to man
age the affairs of an Improvement club In
order to accomplish the most good. II also
made an eloquent appeal for a "Greater
Omaha," and cited the fact that the park
extension theory now being agitated, was
only the precursor of another and inevita
ble period of activity In real estate and Im
provements of all sorts which It realisa
tion would Inspire.

the colored women:
One phase of work outside of the uni
versity Mrs. Washington spoke of espe
cially. A graduate of Flak university, she
went directly to Tuskegee and there real
ized as never before the condition of the
mass of the colored people and especlal'y
of the colored women. She used to go on
the streets tu watch them and was ashamed
and annoyed at their behavior when she
saw them sitting around unkempt, eating
and drinking. She felt a great desire to
help the women and began mothers' meet
ings. She secured a room up a flight of the
most rickety stairs she ever saw and told
a boy to go on the streets and tell every
colored woman he sow that there was a
woman up In that room that had something
for her. Six women came to the first meet
ing, expecting a bundle of some sort, tied
up with a ribbon. Mrs. Washington had no
bundles for them, but she had something In
her heart. The meetings have grown lu
these half dozen years until now 500 women
belong to this gathering, and a weekly
meeting is never missed from October lo
May. One woman comes twenty miles and
bring her baby because she can't leave It
at home. There have never been any offi
cers or constitution. Mrs. Washington
began by talking to these women on some
very simple and practical subjects, now 10
dress slid care for their children, then
about their own personal appearance ana
manners on the streets; how to have their
home conditions clean and pure physically,
then morally; the cure of girls that a
mother should give. Then the women be
gan to bring their daughters, and pres
ently a class of about seventy-five girls
was rormea. tracucai matters were lanen
up. lessons In cooking, sewing and other
domestic duties were given Next ram &
boys' class in uhlch topics of citizenship
were discussed, conduct, courtesy, honesty,
thrift. The women from these classes go
out and act as centers of other classes.
The results are Interesting. As an example
