The Baron De Hirsch Fund Trustees
Celebrate MI. SOlOmOns' Birthday.
Mr.. Adolphus s. Solomons of this city,
who is the general agent Of the Baron de
Hirsch Fund. and whose duties in connec-
ton with the important work of charity
and philanthropy demand his almost con-
slant residence In New York city, was the
recipient of beautiful gift on the occasion
of his SEVENTEEN birthday. which occurred
Monday, October g. The trustees OF the
fund surprised him at an informal luncheon
and presented him with handsome loving
cup of exquisite workmanship, inscribed:
1.-THE Trustees Of the Baron de Hirsch
Fund to Adolphus s. Solomons. on the
SEVENTEEN anniversary Of his birthday, Oc-
tober 26. 1886"
AS significant decoration the cup was
adorned with an etching Of Ezekiers statue
of Religious Liberty"
The presentation was made in behalf of
the trustees by Judge Isaacs. who alluded
to Mr. Solomons long and honorable career
and his indefatigab1e labors for Judaism
and in aid Of his oppressed brethren. Judge
Isaacs said that from 1852 when Mr.. Solo
mons assisted in securing congressional
recognition OF a Jewish army chaplain and
a reversal OF "Order No. H." excluding
Jews from the department of the Missis-
sippI. down to the present, Mr.. Solomons
was always doing good-and he was the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-11-10

natural and unanimous choice of the Baron
de Hirsch Fund for general agent at the
organization in 1889. His characteristic pa
triotism, religious fidelity and unselfishness
entitled him TO the deep respect and warm
affection which his associates entertained.
Mr.. Solomons responded with his usual
modesty and much feeling, disclaiming his
title to so much courtesy. He felt ii is his
duty to do all in his power for Judaism and
religious liberty, and was more than recon-
pensed by the consciousness of having done
his best and by the gratifying evidence of
his associates esteem. Mr.. Schiff made
happy address, wishing Mr.. Solomons
continuance of his present vigor, and hoped
that he would see in his good old age every
happiness, and that his children would be
like him, beloved for their virtues, their
purity and their simplicity of heart.
Mr.. Solomons, since the creation of the
Baron de Hirsch Fund, has been its gen.
eral manager, and as such has enjoyed the
complete confidence of the trustees having
1t in charge. He has made this his life
work and spends the greater part of his
time in New York, coming to his home in
this city only during the holidays or on
special occasions. His vast experience in
philanthropic and charitable work no less
than his practical business ability and his
great knowledge of men gathered abroad
fit him peculiarly for his post, and his views
of affairs are largely deferred to by the
men in whose hands the late Baron de
Hirsch placed the control OF his benefac-
ton of s., .asb000.
The widow of the baron also places COM
plete reliance upon his judgment and
avails herself of his knowledge of local af-
fairs before responding to the numerous APP
peals for assistance that sent to her
from the United States.
During his long residence in Washington,
and until he went to New York, Mr.. Solo
mons was identified with every movement
that looked to the progress and advance
ment of the capital city, while in all works
of charity he was foremost. To his efforts
and exert!ons more than to those of any

STEMS FOR DECORATION.


The Picturesque Aspect of the German
Beer Mug.
The stein, or German earthenware
beer mug, is enjoying full measure OF
popular favor Just at present as an ar
ticle both for decoration and for use.
The gathering up Of as many unique
and interesting varieties of these mugs
as they can find has become fad with
many people, aud it is followed up with
r1e same devoted zeal which always
rLs the collecting mania, whatever
.-u it may chance 70 take. III stu
dents rooms, clubs and bachelor apart
mants it is to be presumed that the
stems are intended for at least occasion
al use, although it must be confessed
that ornamentation is the chief idea.
But there are many purchasers Of the
German beer mugs who would never
dream of filling them with that fluid or
any other. Thoy are meant solely to DO
looked alto b handled, if at all, with
the utmost respect-and high place
amid the more old fashioned and conse-
quently less interesting bric-a.brGc Of
the room is awarded them. Women
form large portion Of the class which
regards the stein as decorative object
pure and simple. Some importers in the
city have rooms reserved especially for
their women customers, who drop i'll
frequently to inquire whether there are
any novelties il the designs or in the
ware itself.
All the stems in this country are i'm
ported from Germany, and nearly all Of
them from tho Rhine provinces. The
Oldest and best known manufactures,
some of which have been in existence
for y centuries, are in Rhuuish Prus-
sia, the duchy Of LuXomburg and in
Lorraine. Certain kinds Of ware CharaC-
teriAe the different places, but the proc
esses to which the clay and stone are
subjected in the making are kept care

photograph Holders.

Some pretty photo holders are made
OF inch ribbon and crochet rings.
The plainest may DO made i times as
long as a cabinet photo. The lower end
is finished with plush balls matching
the ribbon, and the upper end is fastcn-
ed to a gilt rod with chain for sus-
pending the holder. The photo is held
in place by chain Of crochet rings.
These are covered with crochet silk and
Ornamcnted with narrow. scallopnd
edge around the ring. Pretty frames are
OF pale blue, with bows of narrow pink
ribbon at the corners of the ring chains.
A bow of wider ribbon is fastened in
the center of the space above the pic
ture. A writer in Good Housekeeping,
who calls attention to the foregoing, is
also authority for the following:
Another pair of holders was made
from Il piece of pink ribbon 90 inches
long. The corners of the lower end were
turned back to form point. The upper
corners We're turned forward to form a
similar point, and each end was finished
with three plush balls. A chain Of GRO
Chef rings formed frame for the photo,
which was placed about four inches
above the lower point. The rings woro
covered with victoria crochet silk and
had crochet edge as described for tho
first pair. The upper end Of tho ribbon
was folded forward, so that tho plush
ball suspened from the point nearly
reached the top Of the photo. A spray
of forgetmenot was embroidered with
Asiatic tlloabove the upper point. Bows
Of narrow blue ribbon were placed at
the corners of the ring frame. A gilt
rod and chain were used to suspend tho
holder.

SLAVERY.

-Four sultans or caliphs were once slaves.
The fugitive slave laws were passed in
1850.
The bred Scott decision was delivered in
1857.
After n Roman victory slaves were often
sold on or near the battlefield in great
numbers for q few cents each.
Over 20 centuries before the Christian
era slavery existed as an institution in
Arabin, Mesopotamia n Egypt.
in 1879 an English convention with
Egypt was made to suppress the slave trade
and mitigate the horrors of slavery.
1t has been estimated by competent au-
thorities that % per cent of the African
slaves started to America died during the
yoyage.
Every wealthy Greek and Roman had
slaves who did his copying. Nearly all
the manuscripts of antiquity We're copied
by slaves.
In 1874 a large gathering of South Afri-
can chiefs was held at Cape Coast Castle,
at which they formally agreed to give up
the slave traffic.
In 1888 the supreme court of Massachu-
sets declared that the clause in the con-
stitution, "all men are created free and
equal" was a bar to the existence of slav-
cry in that commonwealth.
In 1870 serf liberation came in Rou-
mania. The boyars, or country landlords,
were allowed the option of giving half
their farms to their former serfs or of sell
ing the whole Mt 20 shillings per acre.
