Hebrew School Exercises.

1t was the good fortune of your CORES
! pOndent to be present at the annual exam
nation and exercises held, during the
present week. in the commodious building
Of the Hebrew Educational Society.
This school was founded in 1868, 6y an
association, which has given It's name to
the institution. Under the control Of an
able directory, and an efficient faculty, it
has overcome every disadvantage attending
it's early efforts, and now stands forth one
of the first of our city educational enter
prises.
Too much praise can not be accorded the
| present corps of teachers, as the recent
examinations attest. Mr.. Uric Bettison,
the polite and accomplished principal. has
long been identified with the school in
terests of this city, and his name. with
numbers of our youth, is a synonym of
perseverance, and devotion to duty.
DR.. Baar, the earned professor of He
brew, is an ex rabbi from London. Being
incapacitated Tor the duties of the pulpit,
because Of the failing condition of his voice,
he resigned his charge in the metropolis,
and upon reaching our city accepted the
honorable position of instructing its youth.
Mrs. A. Dalsheimer presides over the
female grammar department.; and, judging
from the readiness with which her pupils
answered the brief exact, and difficult
questions propounded by herself, she is an
ornament to the school, and thorough
instructress.
There are other teachers that your cor
respondent would like to mention, but it
was not his pleasure to be present when
their classes were being examined
In the female grammar department.
Misses Cecilia Calm, Adeline Tranrman and
Lizzie Ruth, by the rapid and easy manner
in which they solved problems under the
Binomial formula, and the effective, modest
recitation of their pieces, elicited much COM
mendatiOn.
In the first male department Messrs.
Charles Titche, Joseph Collins, Chester
Chamberlain, William Railey. Alonzo Bell,
Max. Samson and Arthur Palfrey passed
excellent examinations in both geometry
and algebra. Some of them, evidently Ow-
ing to embarrassment, were a little con-
fused, but showed clearly they understood
what was required of them. "BuzfuZ," re-
cited by Master Palfrey. set every one
laughing and reflected great credit on his
conception of the pompous sergeants speech
DR.. l. L. Leucht closed the exercises by
a we'll timed address, complimenting the
teachers and scholars. He also, in forci-
BILE manner, called the attention of his
auditors to the non-sectarian character of
the Hebrew Educational Society; adding,
that it was the earnest desire of the direc.
tory to promote the cause of learning, and
cultivate feeling of amity between the
children of the Israelte and those of other
parentage which would grow and
strengthen in manhood.
DR.. Alexander Dimitry, the veteran pre-
ceptOr, in response to call from DR..
Leucht, paid a glowing tribute to the Doc
tor, teachers and scholars, when, with
shout, which only schoolboys can raise, the
exercises for the session Of 1873 and 1874
closed. VISITOR.

How to Find the Comet.
1909 A. o,,-:lIo n<y.,.,

Scientific men are now on the lookout tor
glimpse of a certain comet that is at this
time wandering about in the universe, and
which has 80 far descended as to allow
Louisville and other portions of this insig-
nitcant atom of the grand system, an or
portunity to observe its movements and
admire its proportions. This, we say, is
exciting some interest and we know of
some glasses that are already being bright
ened up for use.
The comet is now in the left ear of Crsa
Major 1.-THE Great Bear, and is visible with
the aid of field glass. 1t may be found by
forming curved line through the two
stars in the rim of the Dipper. and the one
next to them near the root of the tail OF the
Great Bear. On that line eastwardly OF
the Dipper. and about twice the distance
therefrom as the width of the Dipper, will
be found this traveller of the star realm.
Its head is barely visible to the naked
eye, but its size will increase till about the
third of August, when its brightness will De

THE SCHOONER TEXAS RANG Err RAISED
Captain M. w. Francis, the we'll known
submarine diver and wrecker, has sue
ceeded IN raising the schooner Texas Ranger.
TAls new and beautifully modelled schooner,
It VIII be remembered. ran afoul, few
weeks ago. OF the old wreck Of the steam
ship DeSotO, about twenty-five miles below
this city, and immediately sank in over
forty feet of water. She was loaded with
molasses at the time, nearly all of which
was saved. The schooner is now on the
ways at Algiers and shortly will float upon
ou- waters as staunch and strOng "a ever.
We regret to learn that Captain Francis
after successfully accomplishing this diff
cult JOB, was taken down with fever, and
for several days suffered severely; he is
now. however, rapidly recovering, although
as yet quite weak.
