TRIBUNE LOCAL OBSERVATIONS
The morning call., 1894-03-22
FEAST OF PURIM.
A Hebrew Festival Celebrated at
the SVnagocueS.

the SynagogueS.
The commemOration of the feast OF
Purim began last evening in the Jewish
svnagogues and will be continued to-day.
With the exception of the Temple Emanu-
Ell all Hebrew places of worship were open
last night, orthodox and conservative
congregations entering into the spirit of
the festival, and celebrating according to
Old-esta nlshed customs and traditions
The reformed congregation, which COM
prises all the Hebrew people who attend
services at the splendid temple on Suffer
street. do not observe Purim. however.
AS religious feast this anniversary has
a comparatively small significance. The
rabbis do not take part liz the ceremonies,
and yet the faithful followers Of Judaism
attach much importance to it for many
time-honored reasons. In the temples
cantors read the Meghiloh. that is. the
book of Esther in its entirety, last night
and will read it again this morning TO
large congregations. At the evening ser
vice collection was taken and distributed
among the Door, and another collection
for the same worthy purpose will be made
to-day. This fact is merely one instance
taken out of many TO indicate a very i'm.
pOrtant characteristic o. the feast. Charity
is most prominently associated with Pu-
rim.
Then, too, there is social aspect to
the festival. Many Hebrew people will
keep open house and entertain all visitors
Receptions and feasts will be held to-day
as mark of honor to the occasion. and
the poor will be received and treated with
true charity.
The feast of Purim recites an historical
event in the Hebrew religion which is thus
forcibly recalled once year through all
the centuries.
The morning call., 1894-03-22
A VALUABLE LOT TO LAPSE.
Located on Van Ness Avenue and
Sutter Street.
COLONEL c. F. CRocKER's GAIN.
The Masonic Temple Association Will
Petition the Court to Dis
incorporate.

The Masonic Temple Ass ociation has
decided to disincorporate. A meeting of
the stockholders was held at sos Mont
gomery street yesterday afternoon and a
resolution was unanimously voted to ask
permission of the court 10 disincorporate
and return to the stockholders the amounts
sub>crioed, as sum sufficient to pay all
the expense of the new association.
The association has lot on Suffer street
and Van Vess avenue, which will be
turned over TO Colonel c. f. Crocker, who
now holds 1t as trustee and vino will reim-
burse the association.
The property originally came into pos
session of the association by purchase
from f. l.. Castle. A portion of the pur-
chase price was paid by the corporation
and Castle took mortgage on the property
for the balance due. Then C. F. Crocker
took up the mortgage. He will return to
the corporation the amount paid in with
interest on the same, from which will be
deducted the interest on the mortgage.
The Masonic Temple Association was
formed in the latter part of 1890. The
proposition was to erect a magnifi ent
Masonic temple to cost more than a million
dollars. Much enthusiasm was manifested
at first When the hard times came some
of the subscribers had not the money to
meet their subseri tons. Others who had
paid up a portion could not pay the balance
due.
Those who kept up their payments had
paid in Sc on each share. They will re-
ceive when the disincUrporation s effected
a little more than S4, as nearly 81 on each
share has gone for expenses, the biggest
part of which has been for interest.
The lot which G. F. Crocker will secure
by reimbursing the association is fine
one. 1t has frontage of 100 feet by 2O7
feet in depth. The purchase price was
$50. 600, of which the association had paid
$50. coo.
After'the court has been petitioned to
allow the dsincorporatou, the petition
will have to be advertised for thirty days,
so that it will take probably two months
before the whole matter will be settled.
The Masonic Temple Association had in
its membership many of the most promi-
nent MaSons Of this city. B. P. Flint is
the president and Hiram L. Graves the
secre tary. About 800 stock holders remain
in the association. Many who made the
first subscription could not meet the sub
| seQuent one and were dropped. There
were three assessments OF So each. making
| Sc paid in on each share. The three as
sessments were paid on 6762 shares.
Altogether it was provided that $4,000
shares should be issued al $50 each, making
| the capital stock 81, 500. 900.

days in the County Jail on the charge of
petty larceny. The defendants ran the
"plaie game" in the dime museum. 9O3
Kearny street, and swindled Louis Your
nick and JOHN Miller, two unsophistieated
strangers, out of $50. The Judge remarked
that the legality or illegaiity of tie game
had nothing TO 10 with bis decision, W hich
was based upon the fact that the defend
ants got the money from the two men by
fraud and deceit. He also did moi believe
that the defendants stole any portion of
the money out of the mems pockets. The
defend ants gave notice of appeal.
