MOST PREcoclous OF BOYS
William Pitt Becomes Prime Minister

Probably the most talented boy
whose name has come down to us in
history WAS William Pitt. the eminent
English statesman. At : years of age
he WAS remarkable for his learning
and CloQucnce and when he reached
the ase of twent,four he became prime
minister of The realm Al thirteen he
wrote tragedy which he called "l.au.
rentine, King of Clarinium. :
Al this age, too. he was able to read
Greek and Latin almost as well as he
could English He also was we'll in
formed on the politics OF the day and
on a variety of subjects about which
only men of learning are supposed to
know anything At IA he was able to
take the words of Thucydides, written
i'll Greek. and read page after page,
turning it into excellent English as he
read, and this off ff-hand translation OF
his is said to have been almost with
out a flaw.

that he had to be accompanied by a

pose of making arrangements to partlcl-
pate in the reception to Cardinal Glib
bons upon his arrival in Baltimore from
Rome next Thursday, the controversy
between the Marine Band and American
Federation of Labor cropped out anew.
A motion had been made to employ that
band when it was suggested but 1t was
not affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and it was suggested that
trouble would result if the band was en-
pIoyed as an escort A sharp debate en-
sued between Father Stafford and Mr.
Hannah, the latter having withdrawn
his second to the motion to procure the
Marine Band. Mr.. Hannah said that 1t
was not a wise plan TO have the Marine
Band because of the objection that would
come from organized labor. DR.. Stafford
retorted: "Talk about the tyranny OF
capital; the tyranny Of labor is Just as
bad" Z. decision was reached finally to
leave the matter of the selection OF
band in the hands of the committee OF
arrangements. Mr.. John I, Callahan

Jewish New Year.

Services in connection with the Jewish
New Year will be held at the Synagogue
on Washington street at 1880 O'Clock
this evening. They will be conducted
b. Rev. Nj touch, of Cincinnati. The
seventh month is Tishri, and the first OF
the month this year comes tomorrow.
Like all Jewish festivals, the celebration
begins on the previous evening, hence
the festivals will be inaugurated tonight.
The orthodox Jews continue the celebra-
ton tomorrow and Wednesday. but
among those of the faith who have ac-
cepted the new dispensation, and who
are known among their co-religionists as
reform Jews, only the first day of the
festival is observed as a holy day. Among
the orthodox Jews it is held that the day
was instituted to commemorate the crea-
ton of the world, and it was taught by
the ancient rabbis that on Rosh Hash
onah the Lord sits in judgment upon the
people of the earth for their deeds of the
past year. melting out rewards and pun
ishments, according to their deserts.
Therefore, it was ordained as season for
repentance and prayer to appease the
wrath of the Almighty and to avert the
execution of judgments for misdeeds as
we'll as for giving praise and thanks to
the God of Israel for favOrs and mercles
during the wear Just ended.
