Tuesday evening at S o'clock The dis
tlnguished rabbi, who is the spiritual guide
Of the largest Jewish congregation on the
Pacific coast, has numerous friends in
Houston. His address this evening will be
followed by an Informal reception.
Discussing the question of Sabbath OBJ
scryance Rabbi Barnsten said
NO motion or even suggestion to change
the Jewish sabbath from Saturday To sun
day was ever before the house. The dis
cussion hinged on the question Of how e
increase the observance of the Sabbath,
and the tone OF the arguments was dis
tinctly conservative. The misrepresenta,
tion OF the rabbs standpoint was due TO
mistake on the part of the Associated
Press, which was however, promptly cor.

 Tic chemical engina was called thls morning 10 the residence of A. q. Jennings on Prospect street where fire had been discovered in the chim- ney. There was no damage.
 Superintendent Kelley of the street department performed valuable ser vices for church goers yesterday. He had the snow plough out early and made walking good in places where people would have been shut ill for the day if left to themselves. What was done yesterday in a few hours shows how easily the city could take care of the walks if the Jaw were changed so that private individuals would have nothing to do with them, no more than they have with the streets. Two men with q horse and snow plough would put more sidewalks in walk able condition in half a day than hundred men would in a week.

Winter Brings Trouble

To the poor ''cops.'' When the side walk is icy or not passable on account of snow, etc the blue coats must look for the comfort of the travelling pub lice. The limb of the law notifies the tenant to do his duty. Of course he isn't obliged to notify, but he wants to make himself too busy. Nine hundred and ninety-nine times out of 1000 it's the lady of the house he speaks to. and he often gets sharp answer. Of. course she thinks he's got cheek to tell her to do such work, and who'd blame her? She doesn't own the side walk, but that cuts no figure with his royal highness; he's simply doing his duty. Say. a certain tscop'' notified a certain lady four days ago to clean off her walk. She told him she wasn't able. ssBut, madam. you can get q kid to do it for dime, responded the brass buttoned gentleman. In a sec ond she said, Here's dollar and you do the job. I'll give dollar to see q scop' work ten minutes.'' Well. it's needless to say this lady doesn't drink our tea and coffee. because the kind we sell is a good brain tonic. and in such a case IT she drank our tea she would thank the policeman for giving her a chance to do her duty before asking her to walk up to the chief smogul's'' desk with two dollars. Remember, our coffee is always the best quality and fresh roasted, at
