THE FEAST OF PURIM.
Services Were Held Last Night at
the Linden Street Temple-Book
Of Esther Read.

"Purim, or the Feast of Lots" was
celebrated by divine services at the
temple last evening by the members Of
the congregation of the Linden street
synagogue. This festival, commemor-
ating as 1t does the wonderful escape
from death Of the Jews, dwelling in
marks a great and momentous epoch
In Jewish history.
Last evenings services. as conducted
by Rev. DR.. f. NJ. Chapman, were most
interesting, and impressive. The regu-
lar Purim service was first gone
through and then the reading Of the
story of the incidents leading up to
and causing the festival was conducted.
The full history Is told elaborately in
the Book Of Esther. and the different
sections of the wonderful story were
read by members of the congrega tiona,
Sabbath school.
All of the marvellous events. begin
ming with the crowning of the young
Jewish girl Esther as queen, up to her
foiling Of the designs of Haman, the
arch enemy of the Jews. to extermin-
ate the race. were read in detail.
The narrative abounds in striking
features. the saving Of the kings life
by Mordechai. guardian Of Esther. his
lack of reverence to Haman and the
latter's aroused animosity. which re-
suits in his hoodwinking the king into
signing an order for wholesale mas.

stitute one of the greatest dramas
known to history. and brought to a
conclusion by the intervention Of Queen
Esther and her obtaining from the king
protection for her maligned people, to-
gether with the death of Haman and
the hanging of him on the very gallows
he had constructed for Mordechai.
The name "Purim" itself is trans
lated as meaning lots. on account OF
the drawing of lots by Haman to de-
eide on the day of the massacre. the
18th day of Adar. the last month in
the Jewish calendar being the one
drawn. Last nights services were very
interesting and impressive. the read,

His Source Of Information

Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Our sources of information re-
garding our statement to the board OF
control as to number of children be-
tween and 16 years of age In Scranton
school district were the certified copies
of registration for 1899, furnished to the
secretary of the beard of control by the
county commissioners, and also from the
enrollments In schools Of such children
as were not registered. These certified
copies were made In conformity with the
compulsory education law. while the
copies from which the county commits
sioners have made their statement were
the work of the "couEty ASSESSORS" and
evidently the county commissioners are
not to blame for the discrepancy, and as
both registrations should agree as to ages
of children between and Is years. in
number.
Certainly the assessors were in error.
Such was my view of the matter when
7 stated my communication to the board
that there was "a discrepancy some-
where" These errors should be corrected.

suffer. Martin Joyce.

LEGISLATURE IN SESSION

The Legislature convenes in adj
journed session at noon today. Some
of the leaders have been here several
days getting ready certain changes
in the Constitutional Amendment and
the election law. Last night there
were so many about the lObbies that
we take it the whole body of legisla-
tors will answer to their names at
noon today.
These gentlemen pay their own eN-
penses and are here, many of them at
the sacrifice of their private business.
They are a body of State-loving citi-
zens, ready to do whatever is neces-
sary for the States welfare. They
will take up the duty that has called
them together, pass the necessary leg
islation, and return to their homes
with the gratitude of all good citi-
zens who wish Good Government and
White Supremacy-one and insepa-
rable, now and forever, in every south
