WAS A SOLOMON'S DECISION
Justics Hagnsr Decides a Legal
Point to Everyone's Satisfaction.
II Came Up In the Now Famous Carr
Lambert CaSe-PrOfninent At
tOrneys Engaged.

Justice Hagner, sitting in probate court.
had solomon's task this morning when
the quartet t of a attorne vs. In the Carr Lambert
litigation lined up before him and argued
for three-quarters of an hour on u legal
point that would have probably been lost
sight of entirely In a less distinguished
case or between lawyers of less ability.
The attorneys were Judge Jere Wilson
and Harry T.. Davis for Wilton j. Lambert,
and his brother and sisters, and X. Ross
Perry and A. S. Worthinglon on Mrs. Mar
tina Cars side. The apparently unm-
pOrtant question before them was which
side should be recognized in the court $
order as having filed the petition for hay
ing an issue framed in the case.
Mrs. Carr, through her counsel. several
days ago filed caveat to her mothers will
and asked in 1t that issues be framed be-
tween the parties. Young Lambert an
swered the cayeat, but said nothing about
the issues.
1--WE waited for a final formal petition
from the cayeator after our answer was
filed" said Mr.. Davis. land, as it did not
come on the oath instant, the last day on
which we could file similar petition, we
went ahead and did 1t. Therefore We
want to be recognized as having the issues
framed on Our request
But we asked for it in the caveat,"
interposed Mr.. Perry, who had made APP
plication for the favor from the court be-
fore Mr.. Davis spoke.
We'll, we wouldn't have pressed for
it," exclaimed Mr.. Davis, good-na turediy.
''if you folks hadn't come in here and in
sisted SO on the request. Now, you have
us aroused
well, it seems TO me we are disputing
over a mere feather" Judge Wilson sug-
gestcd. and the court agreed with him.
why not recognize both parties as max
ing the request when direct that issues be
joined?' inquired Judge Hagner.
At first both sides objected to this, but
finally both consented and the order Will be
dra WI up as though both the cayeator and
the caveatec had been first in the request
to bring the case to trial.
Mr.. Perry aud Mr.. Worthington Were in
trusted with the duty OF having the case
calendared immediately, and il Will come
to trial during the April term OF court.
The legal giants then withdrew from the
court room.

TOBACCO HELD UP THE MARKET.
This Stock Exceptionally Strong in
the Dealings Today.

New York. March 27.-The break in min
ing stocks in London, because OF the serious
condition of affa irs in the Transyaal. led to
moderate selling Of st. Paul, Louisville and
Nashville and other International favor
ties in the local market, and this, with the
talk bout gold shipments ne xt week brought
about decline of lisa per cent in the lead
ing ISSUES during the first hour of business.
There was very little pressure from local
sources, and even the professional opera
tors who are bearishly inclined, were dis
posed to go slow. Sugar, Louisville and
Nashville. st. Paul, Pacific Mail and Man
haitian were particularly weak.
Sugar sold down TO 1i3 rs; Louisville
and Nashville rs TO 4S rs; st. Paul 5-S
TO "a; P acific Mail "a to &c, and Manhat ttan
1-2 TO 1O4. Tobacco was exceptionally
strong, and rose from SO l-2 10 81 1-S On
covering of short contracts put cut earlier
in the week.
The advance in this speciality had good
effect on the general list, and at 1 / O'Clock
the market was firm in tone.
American Tobacco was the feature of
the stock market after II O'Clock. and
rose TO Sc Is, gain OF nearly per
cent as compared with yesterdays closing.
The rise was due 10 rumors that the com
pany intended to resume dividends shortly.
The gene raj market was Gull and inclined
TO weakness AT noon speculation was
quiet.

FEAST OF THE PASSOVER
Hebrews Will Begin Celebrating
This Event Tomorrow.
SERVICES IN THE SYNAGOGUE
This Festival Commentaries the De-
livery of the Children Of Israel
From the bondage Of the Egyptians.
The Time-HonOred Seder to he OBJ
served-Some Food Forbidden.

The Jewish festival of the Passover.
which begins tomorrow, will be appro-
priately observed ut both the Hebrew
synagogues in this city. The Passover
will last Until next week, Saturday.
TIE observance differs slightly among
the reform ana orthodox Hebrews. The
former, whose synagogue is situated on
Eighth street, between II and streets, will
hold services on the first evening and
second morning and sixth evening and
seventh morning, while tie latter, whose
synagogue is located at Sixth and q streets,
observe the seventh evening and eighth
morning.
The services tomorrow evening will
begin at $50 O'Clock and on Sunday NOM
ing at $50 O'Clock. A different arrange
ment OF the music is about the only change
from the regular services.
WHAT IT COMMEMORATES
This festival, one OF the most important
in the Jewish calendar. commentaries the
miraculous delivery OF the children of Is
rael from the bondage OF the Egyptians,
through the divine Intervention OF the ten
plaques. Under stress OF the last and most
terrible OF these plaques, when the first
born OF all the Egyptians were slain by an
angel of the Lord, the children OF Israel
marched triumphantly from Egypt under
their leader. Moses, and began their po-
litical existence.
Those who still adhere to the mandates of
the Old Testament and to ancient Jewish
customs celebrate this delivery on the first
and second nights of the feast by the time
honored Seder. The family reunites around
the festive board. while the ancient history
of the slavery is repeated and hymns OF
praise, many of which are centuries old.
are sung, and the blessing of God is in
voked for the whole world.
.- FEATURES OF THE SEDER.
The four features of. Seder are the
bone OF tie paSchal lamb, the 'matzos,'
or uHleayeEed bread, the bitter herbs and
the wine OF sanCtfiCation. The lamb bone
synbolizes tie paschai lamb of the Old
Testament; the bitter herbs are tasted as
a reminder of the slavery of the past; and
the wine. made usually from the juice OF
boiled raisins, typifics the sanctity with
which the Lord invested his children.
The most distinctive feature is the un-
leavened, bread, eaten for seven dlys by
ordinance of the Old Testament, to COM
mcmorate tn. haste with which the Jews
left Egypt. wien the dough in their bread
pots did not have time to leaven.
During the Passover allleavencd material
is kept from the house, and food which
has been Ieavened or which ferments in
the cooking. is forbidden to be eaten.
