at Their Hal sunday Night.
The entertainment given by the
Young Mems Hebrew Association at
their hall Sunday night was pro-
nounced by all present as decidedly
superior in variety and general excel
lence to any that they have yet given.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Cohen, lately returned
from college, delivered an address on
Inherited Prejudice and its Info
ence," which was. replete with
thoughtful suggestions neatly ex-
pressed. Mr.. Cohen has an easy,
graceful delivery, and promises to be-
come valuable nc QUESTION to the force
OF speakers in the Y. NJ. II. A. After
Mr., Cohen's Lecture had been
concluded, Mr.. B. w. Hirsh advanced
to the froht OF the stage, acc ompanied
by Mr.. l.. g. Pape, president Of the
Young Mems Hebrew Association,
and in an eloquent speech presented
him with gold-headed cane, the gift
Of his brother members, who desired
to testify in that way their apprecia-
ton OF President Pape's energetic and
able administration OF his office. Mr..
Pape, though taken by surprise, spoke
ieelingly in reply, and declared that
he would keep tie recollection Of that
hour green in his memory.
The "Song Of the Wanderer," bafs
solo, by ]. II. Griffith, accompanied
by chorus Of male voices (Riopelle,
Hutton, Refs, Anders'n), was 30 ad.
mirably done az 10 merit and receive a
hearty encore.
Miss Sadie Bejach, a ten-year-old lit.
tie miss, recited "Dusty's Christmas
in a way that made her audience
shout with laughter. In spite of heI
extreme youth, Miss Bejach gives evi
dence OF the possession OF dramatic
talents of the highest order, and II il
safe to predict that she will, il circum'
stances favor, reap abundant laurelt
on the historic stage. As mimic and
a comic elocutionist she has no super
ior in local amateur circles even now
The feature OF the evening was {
vocal solo by Miss Tillie Fuld Of st
Louis. The selection was judith,
by Gounod. Somewhat difficult o.
Interpretation, but rendered by Mis-
Fuld in a manner to leave no room
for criticism. This lady is possessed
OF voice OF marvellous compass anC
power, coupled with a method thai
makes her singing continuous de
light. In its lowest register her voice
excels in depth and richness OF tone
any voice heard here in recen
years, while the rich volume
cf her higher notes have no
been equaled by any OF thC
alleged prima donnas who have ap
pesred here this reason. Miss FulC
will sing agai at the entertainment
to be given Thursday night by the
Young Ladies' Aid Society, and or
next Sunday night at the Strangers
Church. Lovers OF good music should
not fail to hear her. Miss Brightit
Hexter read an essay On cold Maids,
which proved her TO be gifted Of pleas
antly humorous style aud wealth o
information from which she drew
literally to illustIats her subject. A
better essay than hers OF last nigh
has not up 10 this period in its hittery
been read before the Young Mem
Hebrew Association. A vocal walt
was the next number Of the pre-
gramme, rend cred by Messrs, Riopelle
Anderson, Refs and Huttson in ex
cellent style. The programme wa
also interspersed with orchestral mu I'll
by Arnold's Band.
