After the singing of hymn, 'Israeps
Duty" by the Sabbath-school, Alice Raas
delivered an address Of welcome in a
very clear and pie asant voice. Recitations
followed, all of them being given by little
rls. who quite distinguished themselves.
Gertrude Nathan gave "The Heavenly
Light" Freda Berg recited "a Legend"

The performers did not confiue them
selves to Rotations, however,; indeed,
they also launched out successfully int
the drama. Ria GreeDebaum and Victor

arTayed in purple aud fine linen in the
style Of the last century, gave the famous

advantage of him. However, the little
performers knew their lines and acted
their parts with spirit that won them
warm applause.

There was not much music on the pro-

good. Lazarus Landsburg played two
flute solos in very pleasing manner. the
second one being an encore, and Mrs. l.

all the applause it received. 1t is TO be

At the Mincha service a candle stick

responses being made by the Sabbath
school. The tapers on the candlestick

Mae Reiss, the former child giving an
account of the festival in English and the
latter using the Hebrew tongue. The
school then sang the Chanuka song.

COINED PLATINUM.
A Monetary Experiment That Was
Made In Russia.

Once upon a time" said C. o. Baker
jr.. OF New York, who Is connected With
ne only platinum refnjng plant in the
reporter. Russia concluded TO try the
experiment of using platinum as a
money metal. There Is really little Of
globe except In the Ural Mountains. in
the Cars dominions, and, having a
monopoly of the precious stuff the idea
OF using IL as a coin seemed plausible.
But II didn't prove glittering sue
cess, and ! have never seen any coin
made Of platinum by that Government
dated later than 1874.
Here is one of the samples OF the
Russian experiment" said Mr.. Baker,
taking from his pocket piece about
the size of a silver quarter. IL bore
the date 1880, and had some Russian
characters on It, signifying II TO be of
the value OF six rubles, or about N.7d
I'm American money.

Baker, land its intrinsic value Is worth
nearly that amount. OF course, no
other alton would 10 in with Russia
and take platinum for money seeing
that no other country produced any of

some OF our silver friends. Platinum
Is lower than II was two years ago,
being worth now 5000 an ounce, though
a while back IL was worth SIT an ounce.
At Its present price II Is just about

terday.
Rabbi Solomon N. Neichin, of Osborn
street, near Downey, and Rabbi Man
del, of New York City, who likewise
practises in Brownsville, were the COM
batants.
1t appears that Rabbi Neichin was
called in to bless a child, which was
about to receive a name. This dis
pleased Rabbi Mandel, who visited some
of the orthodox Hebrews and asserted
that his rival was not competent to per-
form the ceremony.
Neichin heard of 1t and vowed vsn-
geance. The rabbis met on Belmont
avenue. between Osborn street and
Thatford avenue, yesterday. and began
to abuse each other. They cooled off
a bit and adjourned to a saloon, where
they drank several glasses OF beer.
Then the quarrel was renewed. Sud-
denly Rabbi Mandel seized Rabbi Mel
chin by his patriarchal gray beard and
struck him with his disepgaged hand.
Rabbi Neichin jumped back, but left a
generous handful of his beard In the
hand of his rival.
Rabbi Neichin appeared In the Gates
