We also gratefully appreciate the
work done by the architect, Mr.. A. NJ
Edelman, who carried out the plans to a
perfection. We also owe thanks to the
builders and contractors, Messrs. Mills

each and all have, I believe. honestly
performed their work.
Members of the congregation B'nai

THE DEDICATORY PRAYER
With due earnestness Rabbi Solomon

following is a synopsis: 20 Lord, we
have gathered to dedicate this house to
the worship of thee and we pray that
thou wilt bless this sanctuary. May
the power Of thy divine love abide under
this roof and may the prayers offered
bring peace to troubled spirits and to
troubled consciences coming in peni-
tence and faith. And may strength be
given to those In doubt to fulfill the
manifold duties Of life. May the day of
narrowness be cut short and the father
hood of God and the brotherhood Of
man be universally accepted, and man
grow to his perfect stature. May this

ALL to live and to work together in

In this threefold sense and signif-
canoe do we now consecrate this temple
to Thy service and for Thy glory, o God
of Israel.
When in solemn prayer we shall ap-
proach this sacred shrine of Thine, o
aloft to the summit Of Thy holy noun

high above our surroundings, the noise
and hustle of common life, far removed
from all things that are earthly and

Thy spirit and breathe the breath Of
Thy holiness.
When we shall come hither to search
and seek for knowledge and under

God let us find the spiritual food we are
craving for; let us reap an abundant
harvest, rich and varied.
Above all, we pray Thee, our Father
in heaven, let this be house Of gath

purest of sentiments and the holiest Of
impulses, and the noblest of influences
shall emanate, and rebound to the ele-
walton and perpetuation of Judaism and
the salvation Of mankind. Within these

A YOUNG NEGRO STABBED
dashed Twice With . Pocketknlfst BY Z
Compauion

Shortly after 10 o'clock last night, a tall,
awkward negro boy, accompanied by his
mother, appeared in the police station and
the woman asked for a doctor, as her son
had been stabbed how seriously she did
not know. The youth gave his name as
Whit Brown, and said that he had been cut
by friend and companion named Charlie
Ford.
He and Ford were together nearly all day
and were passing along Buena Vista street
near the corner of Bellevue avenue. when
his companion became engaged in quarrel
with an italian. Brown walked on and did
not offer to help Ford in his fight, at which
the latter became enraged and when he had
finished with the Italian came up and
cursed him for deserting, finally slashing
Brown twice with small pocket knife he
had in his hand.
Two cuts were inflicted, one in the right
breast over the nipple and the other in the
cheek Neither was deep or dangerous
and Brown went home after the cuts had
been bandaged up. Detectives immediate
ly went out in search of Ford. but were un-
able to locate him at night. He will proba-
bly, be captured early this morning. 1t Is
said that there Is already warrant out for
his arrest on a charge of disturbing the
peace and that he is quarrelsome fellow
who is continually in fights and other dis
turbances. A complaint will this morning
be sworn to charging him with assault with
a deadly weapon.

INTERESTED REPUBLICANS.
Big Meet at Calera Teday-Vaughn and Mo-
 Kiniey in the Seventh District.

Every aspiring republican-and the ad- jective embraces nearly the entire party has huckleberry hump on him just now.
 They are all lining up for Vaughan or Moseley for the chairmanship of the ex- ecutive committee of the state and for Mckinley or Reed for president.
 Today there will be a Fourth district powwow and ghost dance at Calera preliminary to the district convention to nominate a successor to the present con gressional standard bearer of the party, w. F. Aldrich There will be the usual racket over the question of fusion, to say nothing of a decisive scrap over Vaughan and Moseley and Reed and Me- Kinley. The two yearning aspirants, William Vaughan and Dr. R. A. Nose ley, with a number of adherents in the cause of their respective presidential preferences, have gone down to the gath ering.
 R. M. Walker a prominent young re- publican of Cullman, who was in Bir- mingham. yesterday told a State Herald reporter that the Seventh district was for Vaughan and Mckinley Mr. Wal ker's business is such as carries him over the district and he appears familiar with political sentiment throughout the terri tory.
 Cullman's convention was held last Saturday and instructed for Mckinley Vaughn's candidate, and elected the fol- lowing delegates:
 District convention-E. Hayes, Sam Sheets, E. M. Parker, G. W. Hanlin
 State convention-John Sutter B. Bru- ner, w. K. Smith, P. A. Schaufer
 Cullman had been hitherto claimed by Moseley. Marshall St. Clair and Chero- kee have also instructed for Mckinley Winston and Franklin, while not in structed, are said to be decidedly for the Ohio candidate.
 DeKalb and Etowah, MT Walker says, will be mixed. Mckinley is preferred by these Alabama republicans chiefly be- cause of his protective tariff doctrine.

WHY DID WILLIAMS REsIGNp
It Is Secret Carefully Guarded at the State
 Department.


 Washington, March 3.-The report that Ramon O. Williams had rendered his resignation as United States consul gen. eral at Havana cannot be affirmed of- fieially, but it is understood on excellent authority that it is true and that the let ter of resignation was delivered at the state department within the past three days. The desire of MT. Williams to with draw from the consular service at this critical aspect of the relations of Spain and the United States is somewhat sur prising. particularly as he returned to Cuba not many months ago with the un- dersta nding, as it was supposed here, that he would remain until the insurrec- tion reached some definite settlement. MT. Williams had been in continuous service in consular capacity at Havana since 1874. He of course speaks Spanish fiuAntly and has discharged the duties of ehs position with marked ability though alternately charged with fayoring first one side and then the other in the in- surrectionary troubles on the island. The precise reason for his es.gnation at this time a secret carefully guarded at the state department.
