THE FAIR IN FEBRU AIRY

The announcement that the Washington
Hebrew Congregation is to hold a man.
rnoth bazaar during the month Of February
has aroused a good deal of interest, not on
ly among the members OF the congregation
and their friends, but among the people of
the community generally. The committees
which have charge of the arrangements
for the fair have met every encouragement
at the hands of the business men of the
city, who approve of it's object and are
ready and willing to aid it in the direction
Of complete success.
The purpose of the fair Is to raise as
large sum as possible as nucleus for a
building fund for the erection Of new tenn
pie, to take the place of the present home
of the congregation. which was long since
outgrown. The general feeling is that here
in the capital of the nation the Jewish peo-
pie should have a temple which would be
in every way commensurate with the
wealth and prominence Of the congrega-
ton and credit to the race.
The present synagogue Is one of the land
marks of the city. Prior to the war 1t was
used as a Congregational church, and dur
ing the earlier years of the war it was

that the present building was good enough
and answered every purpose, but recently
whatever opposition there may have been
has disappeared altogether, and now all are
Unanimous in favor of the project.
Realizing that the present building would
have to be abandoned before very long
10th to make any improvements and little
has been done to 1t beyond keeping 1t in
decent repair. Visitors to the city often
express themselves as surprised that such
q prominent and influential congregation
should not be more handsomely housed.
This will not be so for long, however, for
the intention is to erect a synagogue that
shall be a credit to the city.
The rabbi of the congregation, Rev. Louis
Stern, is a native Of Germany, where he
received a thorough education. He came
has been at the head of the Washington
congregation ever since, that In point
of long and continuous service there are
few ministers in any denomination who
outrank him. Like many others of his
countrynien he emigrated from his native
land to make his home for the rest Of his
life in this country, and shortly after his
arrival in New York he heard that there
was vacancy at the head of the WASH
ington congregation. He at once came to
this city. and partly through the influence
through the favorable impr resston made by
his character and personality, he was Sc
lected as rabbi. Today he is one Of the
most popular and influential ministers In
the city. In matters Ike the present move
to secure an improvement in the marriage

Board of Trade Meeting.

Now that the holiday season is over and
things are assuming their ordinary aspect
in the business world, the board of trade
Is about to commence active operations for
the new year. A meeting Of that body has
been ordered for the evening of Friday
next in the hall of the Builders Exchange
The principal topics to be considered at
this time are the rec )mmendations con-
tanned in the reports of the committees on
sewerage and streets and avenues, which
were submitted to the board at the annual
meeting. These recommendations are, in
subst Ince, that the sewerage sy stem of the
District be extended and completed in ac-
cordancs with the report made by the
board of sanitary engineers in 1890, at the
earliest possible day, ard that compre-
hensive system Of street extension be pur-
sued 20 completion without further loss Of
time. 1t is also urged that the necessary
appropriation should be made by Congress
to pay for the land taken by condemna-
ton proceedings. The meeting will be in
charge of the committees named, who have
taken steps to provide competent and IN
teresting speakers. In addition to the other
business before the meeting, proposed
amendment to the bylaws, submitted by
the committee on finance at the last meet
ing, increasing members dues from five to

Prof. Gflman's Lecture Before the

+ DR.: d. c Gilman. president Of the Johns
Hopkins University. and lately appointed a
member OF the Venezuelan &C cemmissfon by
President Cleveland, lectured On 1.-THE Geo
graphic Development Of Universities'' be-
| fore the National Geographic Society at
Metzerotts Hall last evening The hall was
| well filled. The lecture was scholarly ef-
fort and was exceedingly interesting.
The lecturer said the spread of ideas was
as remarkable as the dissemination Of va
| rious plant seed over the world. OF the
! three great universities that had their birth
| in the twelfth century-Bologna, Paris and
Oxford-n"ne had been endowed by a
prince, chartered by state or founded by an
ecclesiastical order. They ere the result
| Of the efforts of men seeking knowledge.
| Referring to the universities of the new
world, he said Canada had adopted the
forms of the English universities, while in
the United States the higher educational
institutions took the form of English col
| leges. and so remained until Thomas Jeffer-
son brought the idea of the university to
| this country, and the University of Vir-
gina was founded, since which time here
had been rapid growth Of university
work. There Is little danger he said, of a
university deteriorating, except by the loss
of it's strong and able men. The buildings
always remain, the endowment is seldom
| lost, hut there Is always q danger of hav-
ing the strong men of a university move on
to other localities, and with them will go
the students. Closing his remarks DR..
Gilman said:
we have now in Washington a great
university, one of the greatest of our coun-
try. ole OF tine greatest in the world, with
| out seeming to know it, ~
This great university was the Smithson-
ian Institution, founded fifty years ago by
James Smithson5 for the advancement and
dissemination acknowledge among men.

Buried Today.

The Owner of ParthenOn.. Heights
Buried Today.
DR.. James Webb Rogers died yesterday at
'Parthenon Heights" his residence In Bla-
densburg. He had been in bad health for
some time DIR. Rogers was born at Hills
boro, N. c., in 1922, ard graduated at
Princeton College in the same class with
the late Francis P. Blair. After leaving
college he studied law, but abandoned it to
enter course of theology. He was an
Episcopal minister for over twenty years,
having charge of various parishes in the
| south, and built seven churches, including
one at Holly Springs, Miss, and one at
Somerville, Tenn. Afterward he went to
Europe, and there became convert to Ro-
| lGan Catholicism. From 1870 to 1874 he
lived in New York city, and the next two
years of his life were spent in indianapolis,
Ind, and Memphis, Tenn. While residing
at indianapolis he edited paper. In 1877
he came tt Washington, where he .practiced
law and remained a number of years. About
the year 1852 he purchased the old Kennedy
place in Bladensburg, and shortly after
ward made it his home While in GBladens-
burg he was engaged in the pan-electric
telephone enterprise, in correction with his
son Harris, and in the practice of law. He
was also the president of company con-
trolling some telegraph inventions of his
son. When Coxey came to Washington and
was arrested for attempting to- make a
speech on tne Capltol steps, Mr.s Rogers
was retained as his oul.sel and after the
commcnwsal 11eader and his men were

There will be about forty pictures in the

The paintings show serious study, and will
prove revelation to the many friends OF
the artist, who has progressed steadily in
the right direction. Particularly are the
Gloucester scenes and Rock creek studies
true to nature. and show that American
subjects are those which an American ar

utilized as a hospital for wounded soldiers,
and when no longer needed for such pur-
poses it was bought by the Jewish people,
and has ever since then been used as their
religious home. It has been twice recon-
structed and enlarged, once in 1877 and
again in 1886. Each time fair was held
for the purpose Of raising building fund,
but neither time. on any such scale as is
outlined for the coming bazaar The Jews
are always looked upon as generous givers.
and it has been the experience of many
who have interested themselves in any
form Of charitable work that they are
among the first to answer to any appeals
for aid. They were liberal contributors to
the recent teachers bazaar and to the c..
A. c. fair, ard the list of contributors to
the fund raised last winter for the relief of
suffering among the poor contained the
names of very many members of the Wash
ipgton Hebrew Congrega ton. For reasons
like these, If for no other it is a foregone
conclusion that the people of Washington
will not let their forthcoming fair fail for
lack of their support.
The synagogue is located on Sth street
between H and streets. The location was
| a sufficiently central one q quarter of a
century ago, but now there Is a general
feeling that it would be a good plan to
move somewhat more toward the north
west section of the city, where many of the
most influential members now reside. Even
SO. however, 1t is not definitely decided that
a move will be made from the present site.
and it may be that the new building will be
erected on the same lot as the present one.
The lot on which it stands IS about 100 feet
square. The frontage is regarded rs large
enough, but 1t is thought that a hand
somer and more convenient building could
be put up on lot twenty-five or fifty feet
deeper. The present site Is valued at about
$4,000, and if it were sold the proceeds
would make a good beginning for the new
fund. The plans are, of course, not fully
matured, in fact, they are rather in en-
bryo yet. but it is hoped that work on
the new building can be begun early in the
spring. as soon as possible after the fair is
over and the question of a site is settled.
The committees in charge of the matter
have set the sum Of $4,000 as the figure to
which they must aim a building fund,
but the chances are that building to cost
even more than that will in the near fu-
ture be the home of the Washington He
brew Congregation. -.... ,.l
The congregation has grown very rapidly
In recent years until the seating capacity
termost. The very fact that the accom-
modat.ons were not adequate Las probably
kept the membership from growing even
mere rapidly than 1t has. 1t is generally
agreed that if suitable building were put
up there would be an immediate increase
of at least fifty members. This means an
addition of several hundred individuals, as
membership in the congregation is limited
to the heads of families. The congrega-
ton now comprises go families, which
probably means in the neighborhoOd of
200 persons.
In years gone by there was some oppo-
sition in the congregation to the plan OF
