APPOINTED BY PROVIDENCE, SAYS RABBI HIRSCH, CHICAGO “With uncounted others, I ask for the privilege of laying my modest wreath of admiration on the bier of Booker T. Washington. He will be remembered for all time as one of the greatest sons of America. He was appointed by Providence in his own person to refute the erroneous yet far-spread dogma that intelli gence, high sense of duty, affection for one’s fellow, patriotism, are vir tues and capacities reserved exclu sively for the children of the white race. A slave by birth, he rose to be a liberator not only of his own near er kinsfolk, but of the people of our land and the dwellers of earth, of whatever hue of skin or dialect of tongue. His educational venture is a remarkable contribution not only to the training of the Negro, but to edu cational science and art without qual ifying adjectives and restricted ap plication. What he did for his own nearer people shows what can and should be done for all in America. Intelligence and skill of hand, the consciousness of the nobility of serv ice, of the glory of efficiency and de voted industry, regardless of the range and the rank assigned by false standards to the occupation and the task selected, his system aimed at de veloping. While disciplining the hand and stimulating the head, he never neglected the soul and the Heart. They who went forth to their life’s avocation from his school were more than artisans or farmers; they were men and women consecrated to serv ing their family and thus contribut ing to the welfare of the community and the advancement of the nation. His place will be difficult to fill. Yet the blessing of his life will abide and prevail.”—Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch. _ EVIDENTLY BELONGS IN UTAH. Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 30.—Ten wives called in one day at the Thomas county jail to see Malachi Jenkins, I the husband to all of them. He con ! fesses to twenty-two essays into the | matrimonial state. He did not bother to secure the severance of any of the ties. His latest wife lives in Lowndes county, and it was there he was ar rested and brought back here. He will probably be in durance vile for some time to come. r -- • j G.
