Not long ago Colonel Dick Winter
smith of Kentucky went to John Cham
berlin's hotel for breakfast. He INDUCED
in beefsteak and onions. The steak was
succulent and the onions were crisp and
not greasy. The Colonel enjoyed the meal
hugely. After swallowing an extra cup of
coffee he called for his check. 1t amounted
to 50. He protested strenuously, saw
ing that it was an outrageous price. John
Chamberlin laughed at him and offered to
"chalk his hat" The Colonel, however.
with true Kentucky hauteur, refused the
favor. He paid the bill. Not long after
ward an acquaintance entered. Turning
to the Colonel, he said:
"My appetite is a little off this morn
ing. | hardly know what to order for
breakfast"
The Colonel advised him to try beef
steak and onions.
"There is nothing more palatable," his
friend responded, "and nothing that
would satisfy my appetite SO we'll, but 1
have to attend several receptions this af-
ternoon, and am afraid that the onions

replied. Sit down and order your steak

SOME TIME ago movement was put on
foot among the Hebrew congregations in
this country to have Sunday observed as a
day of worship and rest With a view of
ascertaining the opinions of the Jewish
people on the question, the Jewish IGdiags
solicited votes from the members of the
congregations, in the form of brief letters
on the subject. To this date the invita-
ton has been widely accepted, and ma
Jority of the writers vote affirmatively.
The strictly orthodox, as a rule, oppose
the innovation. 1t must not be supposed
that change would mean departure from
any material tenet of the Hebraic religion.
as We understand it. 1t would be nom
formity with the ceremonial of the church,
but could hardly be said to be apostasy.
1t certainly would not be violating any
command to the church people to hold
public worship on Sunday, nor prevent
them from observing the Seventh day as
they now do. Mr.. Fucker, of Cleveland
holds that to have public worship in syna-
gogues on the Christian Sabbath would be
TO strike blow at vital part of the
Jewish religion. We had thought that
religion far more liberal; we had sup
posed that to open the church on any day
of the week could do no possible harm to
religion.

THE National Mary Washington Asso-
citation has incorporated, and is now in a
position as legal body to go on with the
work of rescuing the grave of the mother
of Washington from neglect, and to pro-
coed with the scheme of erecting monu-
ment to last for thousand years, or more.
The purpose of the association is to raise
sufficient money, so that after the monu-
ment is erected and the grounds inclosed,
there will be fund left sufficiently large
to insure, by its interest, the care of the
grounds in perpetuity. President Harri-
son, Chief Justice Fuller and Governor
Mckinney, of Virginia, are made Trus-

the President as Chairman, Mrs. Margaret
Hetzel as Secretary and E. F. Riggs as

raising the needed funds should be ener-
getically pushed. 1t is burning shame
that the nation has SO long neglected the
historic spot where repose the remains
of the mother Of Washington. The monu-
ment that private philanthropy once be-
gan was but partially erected, its chief
stones have fallen over, and the plat of
ground is in such state of neglect that it is
reproach to the American people. 1t is
eminently proper that the women of
America should be the movers in the
effort to correct this state Of affairs, and to
rescue the burial place from its present
condition. 1t is understood that branch
associations will be formed in the several
States. If SO, the women of California
will assuredly be found prompt to respond
to the call of the parent institution.
