"Render Unto Caesar the Things That
are CnSar's.'

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:-A
good. deal has been said in your paper
about smoking and its offensiveness, but
can show you some worse evils tolerated.
Society, how many have you! and how
many technical excuses for them! A
sixty-onc-ycars old Confederate soldier
can't tell YOU, but I think the smell of no
X corn whiskcy Oh that dudes breath is
not only offensive to ladies, but is an as
sault on their character A man who
goes in the company of ladies smelling
like broken jug of corn whiskcy has
the audacity of the devil himself. A
bloated- checked, red-cyed bloOdy-noscd
old gambler takes the back ways and
annoyed not only with smoking, but also
with the dude fellow and his offensive
| breath, laden with the smell of no X corn
whiskcy. He is everywhere; sits in the
choir and sings big, throwing the poison
Gus fumes from his breath over the con
gresation. Finally the devil will intro
duce him into the church in full fellow
ship. o, what destructive blizzard is
this to society and church. Winning
your confidence, he makes love to your
daughter, and she is so easily fooled.
You had better mind or he may yet be
your sonin-law.
Now, Mr.. Editor, am not going to
pouncc down on that small boy over
there for doing what he sees is fashion
able, but | am yoingto let the little fellow
have his package of cheroots and his
pistol until society takes that blue steel
pistol from their preachers and from
their deacons and from their class leaders
and from the Sunday-school superinten-
dent and from the teachers. Then I will
vouch for that little boy that he will leave
his sling shot and pistol and cheroots at
home. That will be rendering Unto

Cigarette Smoking Again.

| EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:-A
few weeks ago an article appeared III
your paper on cigarette smoking, which
caused me to think about the subject and
prepare this article for publication. And
now, kind editor, please allow me space
in your valuable columns to express my
views upon the abominable habit.
In the article from Hartzog the scribe
seemed to lay great stress on the lact
that boys from the age of sixteen to
eighteen years old smoked cigarettes. Let
me proclaim right here that boys OF the
age spoken of are not the only ones who
indulge in cigarette smoking. Almost
every week you can pick up newspapers
and see editorials on cigarettes, rcbuklng
and scandaliZing boys for smoking them,
and vet editors and their employees have
been seen by this scribe putting away on
cigarette Physicians indulge freely
in the habit; lawyers smoke cigarettes; and
men of almost every profession are slaves
to the habit Yes, all except Methodist
preachers; they think too much of their
dainty fingers and are afraid they will
get the odor in their chicken pie. Even
girls, some of them, smoke cigarettes, and
vet after all this is a known fact the boys
from sixteen to eighteen have to bear all
the brunt and submit to the ridiculc OF so
many who are not competent judges and
really don't know the reason why cigar
cite smoking is injurious. Some think 1t
is just simply disgraceful and disgusting
habit among the boys, but there is no
better time for the ignorant to learn
better. The reason why men of eloqucncc
and authority condemn the habit is be-
cause it is injurious to our physical and
mental development and not because 1t
is disgusting habit. 1t is true that the
cigarette habit is hard to control, but
Notwithstanding the tendency that the in
gradients have on us boys, let us form
league against cigarette smoking and en-
nance ourselves to a standpoint where we
will not have all the credit for the rushing
of the abominable habit. We know that
it is injurious to us in many ways. First,
public sentiment seems to establish the
opinion that boys are the only class of
people who smoke cigarettes, and we
must prove this falsehood, which is an
injury to us. Second, cigarettes are in
furious to our mental and physical de-
velopment and this enough for us to
know. TO itemize different parts of the
human body and mind that cigarettes af-
feet, would require dissection, but we
know the evil of the habit, and a word to
the wise is sufficient. b. u. j.

FESTIVAL OF PASSOVER,
Services Were Held in All the Syna-
gogues Last Evening-Will Be
Continued This Morning.

Services We're begun in all the city
synagogucs last evening in cclebra
tion Of the Festival of Passover. and
the observance of the holiday will be
continued this morning. At the Lin
den Street temple, Rev. a. S. Ans.
pacher was in charge of the services
which We're begun at . o'clock.
Passover Is one of the red letter
epochs in the Jewish calendar. 1t is
of eight days duration and is com.
memorative of the exodus from Egypt
when the millions of liberated Hebrew
serfs led by Moses departed from the
land of bondage. after their release had
been wrung from Pharaoh, the ruling
monarch.
The holiday derives its name from,
the poetic legend which tells of the
last of the ten plaques sent upon Egypt
to force Pharaoh to give his consent
to the lsraelites' departure. The angel
of death visited the home Of every
Egyptian and there slew the first born,
But the houses of the Hebrews he
passed over and spared. Hence the
name.
peculiar fact connected with the
observance of the eight days is that
no bread may be eaten. or anything
in which Yeast has been used. The
''matZOth.' Il large fiat cracker, is sub
stituted for the usual specimen OF the

stein by Jumping in River,

The story Of how a prisoner named
Albert Price escaped one day last week
from Deputy Constable Max Firestein,
of the Ninth ward, got out yesterday.
Price was arrested on a warrant Is
sued by Alderman kasson at the In
stance of his wife, who charges him
with surety of the peace.
Firestein had quite a job locating
his man, but finally found him in a
pretty good state of intoxication in a
saloon on Penn avenue. Price no
sooner saw the constable than he
dashed past him and out the front
door. He ran up Penn avenue as far
as Vine street and turned down that
thoroughfarc towards the Lackawan-
ma river, with Firestein in full pursuit.
When he reached the river he hesi-
tated for just a moment and then
plunged In. striking out bodily for the
other shore. The stream was swollen
by the spring rains and was running
pretty swiftly. Price was carried down
about scventy-iive feet before he man.
aged to reach the other side. and when
he did he quickly got out of sight.
The constable was obliged to go up
to the Carbon street bridge to get
across. not desiring a cold plunge.
When he got over Price was nowhere
