TEMPLE EMANUEL CROWDED

Stephen S. Wise the brilliant young
rabbi of New York, charmed large
congregation with his eloquence in the
Temple Emanuel yesterday morning.
The initial public appearance in this
city of one of the leaders of the Zion
istic movement was the means of filing
the synagogue to its utmost capacity.
That his auditors We're impressed with
his ability was evidenced by the rapt
attention they accorded him during the
delivery of the sermon. DR.. Wise
stamped himself as an orator of
marked ability before he had half fin
ished his discourse. His melodious
voice, clear enunciation and dramatic
delivery added charm to the sermon,
which was noted for its strength and
simplicity. Whenever the speaker re-
sorted to imagery he rounded out his
metaphors and SMILES with faultIess
English.
The distinguished visitor was intro
duced to the congregation by Rabbi
Voorsanger, who paid a high tribute to
his learning and told Of the splendid
work he has already performed. DR.
Wise then arose, and taking position
and acknowledged the kind words of
his brother rabbi. At first his intona-
ton was calm and deliberate, but as
he evolved his subject his delivery was
more impressive. He said:

BY BERTHA BARTLETT.

People generally in Pottsville pitied
the new Mrs. Washane that was to be.
Not that Pottsville people were ac-
quainted with her and allowed their
acquaintanceship to run riot with their
sympathies; not SO, they knew of her
by hearsay only, as a widow, Widow
Douglas, they believed, of Green Mead
ows.
But they did know John Washane.
That was enough to know. John
Washane who had placed less than a
year ago the plain yet touchingly in
scribed stone to the fifth Mrs. Wash
ane. The first Mrs. Washane's stone
testified that "None knew her but TO
love her." the second, Her price was
above rubies." Mrs. Washane, third,
was lamented as one who Had done
what she could" the fourth, as one
whom the heart of her husband could
safely trust in" while number five's
epitaph was 'She always made home
happy" And now number six was
about to be offered at the connubial
altar-to said Pottsviilians.
1t was talked over at the various
sewing circles, and suggestions We're
offered. motions made and carried as
to the best way in which to apprise the
new Mrs Washane-to-be of her unen-
vlable prospect; and one day-as it
happened only week prior to the
marriage-an anonymous epistle found
its way TO the Widow Douglas of Green

felt that, compared with the late
George Douglas, he. John Washane,
was an outcast and a villain. No
longer did he refer to Susan, Matilda,

THE SIXTH MRS. WASHANE.

The Widow Douglas read the letter,
a curious little frown, which was half
a smile, showing itself as she perused
the anonymous missive.
