How Rabbi HIrSCh'S Speech Two Years Ago Captured New York.

Rabbi Hirsch, who has declined to | leave Chicago for the f1attering offer | Of fifteen years contract with one of 1 New 1ork's richest Synagogues at S15,- l 000 year and pension for life was l not known in the metropolis prior to Lincoln's birthday anniversary. 1897. On that occasion the New York Repub- lican club, which had been largely in strumental in securing the law mak- ing this day a public holiday in New
 York state, gave a banquet in hcnor
 of the martyred president Elihu Root
 presided, and the speakers included
 some of the best known orators in the
 country
 The diners were TO less conspicuous
 than the. guests. On the dais at the
 left of the chairman sat Chauncey NJ.
 DePew, and on the right was Senator Foraker of Ohio. Next to the senator came the rabbi a small man who sat so low in his chair that his head bare ly showed above the table decorations
 The large banquet hall was divided into groups Cf diners surrounding nearly hundred small tables Near the toastmaster's dais sat William Dean Howells, Augustus D. SheIard. several politicians of note and a rail road president. The favor of the evening W1as silk American flag. half as large as the napkins
 The speakers were unusually eio- quent. Senatcr Foral1er was fiery ir his patriotism. MT. Depew made by far the strongest Of his many orations of the past dozen years, and then the chairman introduced the Rev. Dr. Emil Hirsch of Chicago. The rabbi arose and rubbed his chubby hands to- gether.
 After the brilliant address of the statesman from Ohio,'' he said after the masterpiece of New York's most eloquent orator, I can say little worth your while to heed. My only excuse for Icing here is, that I come from H. Ilnois. Illinois gave Lincoln to the nation; Illinois holds his remains and reVefes his memory as that of her most distinguished son.
 Five minutes later came his first climax. In another five minutes came the second, and the cheering lasted fully mlnute. The rabbi haid grown almost foot in stature, apparently, and his voice had broadened and until it filled the hall. Within ten minutes more he arrived at his peToratiOn. That ended. he into his chair and shrank in to his former dimensions.
 The audience! MT. Horwe1.s was on his chair waving a napkin In one hand and flag in the other. So was NIT. Shepard. So were the poli- icians and also the railroad president Presently MT. Depew stepped around to the rabbi, and. taking his hand whispered his congratulations This ed to more cheering and still mcre.
 The next morning Rabbi Hirsch's 1ration was the feature of the morn ng newspaper reports, and New York lad heard q new orator-Philadelph Evening Pest.
