Kind Words.

9TH JEWISH SOUTH comes to us each week.
It has the right spirit about it, and in time
will bee ,me valuable champion of Judaism
Rabbi E. N Cali Oh is liberal contributor, and
it is such help which makes any Jewish paper
popular. We hope THE JEWISH SOUTH will he

We would thank our friend for his kind
words, assuring him at the same time that he
speaks truly. Well do we know bnt that for
the valuable assistance of Rabbi Calisch The
JEWISH SOUTH would not be where it is to-
day.
During the course Of drunken broil several
days since, one monk killed another in mon
astery in Bethlehem, which it is claimed en-
closes the birthplace of Christ. This was hard
" demonstration Of peace and good will.

opinions of its own, we would say from mere
casual glance, that the idea appears to us to be
an excellent one. 1t might do much good, and
could certainly accomplish no harm.
Daring our brief editorial career we have
been more than once impressed (unfavorably
we might say by the numerous petty bicker
ipgs and bitter personalities in which some of
our contemporaries engage. We conscientious-
~ believe that il grand gathering Of all the
Jewish editors could be had, where they could
take each other by the hands and look into one
another's eyes and there read that each was
advocating true Judaism as he saw it, that q
quietus NO lid be put on all this unseemly
warfare. For motto we would suggest that

and control of the chief of the fire
department. would also call
your attention to the fact that one
of the reasons given for abOlishing
said office, is the saving of expense
to the city. | fully concur with
the council in any measure that
they may enact, whereby expenses
may be reduced, but | would call
your attention TO the fact that the
preamble to the resolution,
abOlishfng the office of city eleQtri-
clan, reciteS the fact that it is es-
sential or necessary that the chief
of the fire department should be an
electrician. In view of the case, if
the fire chief is or should become
a person not skilled in the duties
of an electrician, it would become
impossible to execute the various
ordinances now in fOrce> relative to
the construction and keeping in re-
pair of the various systems of cleo
trio wires now in operation in the
city, such as telephone, telegraph,
electric light and electric car wires,
as well as the duties of seeing that
all wires conducted into private
residences, are properly insulated
and placed so that danger from the
same may be avoided.
No provision is made in the resO-
luton referred, to consolidate the
office of electrician and linemen, or
to make it the duty of any one, to
supervise the construction or keep
ing in repair, of any of the wires
above referred to. To my mind it
would be hazardous in the extreme
to entrust the supervision of the
systems mentioned to any persons
not skilled in the duties of an cleo
trician, and until your honorable
body makes provision for such a
person, either by consolidating the
offices or otherwise, | respectfully
disapprove of abolishing the office
of city electrician, until such pro-
vision shall be made.
GEORGE PASCHAL, Mayor.
Alderman French made a motion
to reconsider the action of the
council in aboliShing the office of
city electrician. Alderman Mackey
stated that when he first offered a
resolution to have the offices COM
bined, he was of the opinion that
City Electrician Ryan was to be
appointed as fire chief. The mayor
called for a vote on the subject,
and it resulted in s yeas and /
nays, in favor of rccOnsidering the
action of the council. Alderman
Hoetling then objected and gave
his reasons for voting in favor Of
aboliShing the office Of city electri-
clan.
Alderman French then made a
motion to the effect that the re-
port of the special committee,
which recommended the abolish
ing of these offices, and which was
reported at the last meeting be
sustained. The motion was with
drawn. Alderman HOehing made

The hangings Of this dainty retreat. in
which the handsome widow spent Iaoat If
her leisure time, were worthy of the eve

CHAPTER XVII.

There were two reasons for Haran's
temporary forgetfulness of Rhoda Barr
after the receipt of her crafty letter. Ee
had just been admitted to the bar and his
wife had presented him with a daughter.
The excitement pertaining to these i'm
portant events had driven for the time be-
ing all other topics from his mind.
The novel sensations attending his first
case before a jury had pleased him hugely
and had overcome for awhile his literary
inclinations. After all, he thought, the
life Of a lawyer may not be so disagreeable
as | had imagined.
Furthermore, the birth Of their child had
drawn him closer to Alice. A great pity
for his wife at the crisis had swept over
him and, as the days went by and she grew
stronger he had treated her with gentle
solicitude that she had not received from
him since the first month Of their married
