TO INVITE THE PRESIDENT.
Question Will Be Taken Up By the
 Commercial Club.

The question of inviting President Mo Kinley to stop in Birmingham on his trip through the south win be taken up at a meeting of the Commercial Club Friday afternoon, and it is probable that formal action will be taken looking to such an invitation.
 It is urged that Birmingham cannot af- ford to let the opportunity pass, as other cities are preparing to invite and enter tain him, and further, that if an invita- ton is not extended that it will be a re- flection on the patriotism and enterprise of the community.
 Some weeks ago the Age-Herald sug- gested that an invitation be extended. which was heartily endorsed by many leading citizens.

PASSOVER WILL
 BE CELEBRATED
lsraeIites Will Observe First ot
 the Three Annual z Festivals

At o'clock this evening the Israelites of Birmingham, in common with their scattered brethren throughout the civil ized world, will begin the celebration of the Festival of Passover. one of the most important and impressive in the Jewish calander.
 Pesach, or Passover, is the first and greatest of the three annual festivals Of the Israelites, and was instituted by Moses, in commemoratlon of the deliver ance of that people from Egyptian bondage. It is celebrated from the 18th to the Fist day of the Hebrew month of Nissan, corresponding this year to April 3-9 of Gregorian calander, at the time of the first full moon in the spring. The first and the last days of the festival are kept holy and observed by abstaining from work, by prayer. hymns, thanksgiyings, and other ceremonies, and during the whole period. matzos, or unleaven bread. is eaten, whence the name of the Feast of unleaven Bread.
 During ancient times the festival was celebrated by killing the pascal lamb and with full ceremonials, which have given way, however, to symbolisms. An i'm pressive part of the celebration is the Sedar service or Passover feast, which is a hallowed family gathered where the lessons of the festival are symbolized with beautiful ritual service.
 Short services will be held at Temple Emanuel corner Fifth avenue and Sev- enteenth street, and at the Synagogue in Twenty-second street, this evening and again tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
 After the services at the Temple to- night the Sedar service will be celebrated by many of the Jewish families of the city.

 Interviews the Leader.

Manila, April 2-Constancia Problete, daughter of the former chief of the Ka- tipunan Society. who is president of the Woman's Peace League, was permitted to have long interview with Aguinaldo. She reports having found him in auan- dary. professedly desirous of peace yet reluctant to abandon the idea of Filipino independence.
 "He seemed unable to make up his mind regarding the oath of allegiance to the United States" she said, but he has sworn eternal fealty to the Filipino flag, and had been elected leader of the revo- lution. He showed a disinclination to assist in ending the insurrection, though he bowed somewhat to public sentiment. He wanted a conference in order to ascer- tain the wishes of the Filipino people, and
