ding The head is then covered with high erection
made of wool or silk called "sheitel."
The observance Of the ssheite has it's root in the
Talmud. 1t is in accordance with the Oriental code
of ethics which considers it immodest for women,
whether married or single to appear in public with
their hair exposed Maimonides, centuries after
wards, classified the law as follows: Jewish
men, married unmarried, must not walk in the
street with their hair uncovered Still later the
law confirmed by the Shulchan Aruch, which is
the standard authority for Jewishritua and ceremo
NAL law It is binding upon all Jews Sephardic and
Ashkenaizic alike.
Finally, however, distinction made between
married and unmarried women, owing to the tradi-
tional custom and the true meaning of the law. In
married women were obliged to cover their hair in
public places only, and any Fl RIM of headgear, from
hat to handkerchief, was allowable. But the Law
was more strict in regard to married women. They
were commanded to their HAIR at all times, in
private as well public and to the 'sheitel" for
the purpose Thus the ''sheite" itself is sign of
wfehood, while the covering Of the hair is not.
In different countries and in differ ent ages, chan
GEES have taken place in the form of the .sheitel'
There is prevalent belief that the pa pose of the
sheite is to prevent its wearer from being attract
i've to other than her husband. For this reason,
among the Polish and Russian Jews, the most con-
scentous observers of the law the sheite' appears
large wig, parted smoothly in the middle, and
drawn down tightly the ears. Needless to say,
it is very unbecoming In northern Africa the "shei-
tel" frequently becomes silk handkerchief, draped
around the head In other countries it is arranged
as fashionable couture. Sometimes it appears
merely 'bang" or a switch met, in
which instances the natural hair is not cut short.
But whatever shape it may assume even though
it's spirit be dim and it's form distorted, it still re-
mains the "sheite" She subteruges taken to make
it appear appendagc Of fashionable hair-dress-
ing, and to disguise it tile symbol of aceremonia
law, may seem irreverent To abandon the custom
altogether would be- perhaps, wiser proceeding
than to pervert it.
The why such course of action is not
adopted is found in wellknown principle in the Tai
mud, and shows how great is the need of a Synod

OUTLAW MOORE
SLEEPS IN COURT
Utterly Indifferent as to
His Fate.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEVADA CITY, June 4.-Edward
Moore went sound asleep this morning
during the progress of his trial for the
murder of officer Kilroy. His face was
as placid as that of an infant. He slept
about three minutes. then awoke with
such a start that he almost tumbled off
his chair. If he has any realization of the
seriousness of his position he does not
manifest 1t. He is either inhumanly in
different to his fate or is a consummate
actor
The impaneing of a jury was not com
pleted till late this afternoon. score of
freeholders who were examined as to their
qualifications swore that they were so
firm in their conviction as to Moore s
guilt, because of what they had read of
his crime in the papers, that not enough
testimony on the lines of insanity or self
defense could be piled up by his lawyer to
cause them to change their minds. One
of these when asked if he could not give
Moore a fair trial, said nothing could be
more to his taste than to sit on.the case in
Judge Lynch s court. Others declared that
if they were kept on the jury and the plea
of insanity were interposed they would
treat il as a sham and a subterfuge.
In his opening statement the District
Attorney said he would prove that Moore
had on various occasions warned Kilroy
not to attempt his arrest if he did not
want to die, and that he had told others
he would kill the policeman the first time
he caught him alone
DR.. A. H. Tickell described the three
powder burned wounds in the dead man,
any one of which would have been fatal
County Surveyor Waggoner showed dia-
gram of the scene of the killing, and E.
A. Moore, a photographer. identified the
pictures he had taken of the wounds the
morning they were inflicted.
While the wounds were being described

ENCYCLICAL LETTER
ARRIVES TOO LATE

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE encyclical
letter of Pope Leo XIII dedicating the en-
tire world to the sacred heart of Jesus
and designating June 9, 10 and II to be
set apart throughout the Christian world
for special devotion, has just reached this
country.
Owing to some unaccountable delay on
the part of the authorities at Rome it
failed to reached Monslgnor Martinelli in
time for the Archbishops and Bishops of
the United States to act in accordance
with it's stipulations. 1t was designed to
be read in parishes throughout the coun-
make the conservation of widespread in
terest and a public demonstration not un-
like that at Vienna last Sunday, when the
Emperor solemnly dedicated himself,
family and court to the sacred heart.
The encyclical appeared first In the
Observatory Romano. the official organ
of the Vatican, May 26, and made Its way
time for due observance. Archbishop Cor
rigan has been waiting its receipt and
upon it's non-arrival he issued a pastoral
letter to the clergy of this diocese, and on
the feast of the sacred heart, June 9, in
lieu of the act of conservation specially
recommended by the Pope in his encycli-
CAL the Archbishop recited the act that
century.
The encyclical is vet news to a large
part of the Bishops of the United States.
When His Holiness learns of the delay he
will in all probability give an extension of
time for cansecration. Since the feast of
the blessed Margaret Mary, with whom
the devotion originated, falls on October
II, it is possible the Holy Father will set
that day part for the dedication of this
country
