REJOICE AT ESCAPE
FROM WICKED PLOT
OF HANNAH
Jewish People Throughout
World Will on Friday Gel
citrate Deliverance Of Ma.
ton From Destruction in
the Reign of Ahasuerus Of
Persia.

'"The Jews ordained, and took upon
them, and upon their seed, and upon
all such as joined themselves to them,
so as it should not fail, that they
would keep these two days according
to their writing, and according to their
appointed time every year. And that
these days should be remembered and
kept through every generation, every
family, every province and every city;
and that these days of Purim should
not fail from among the Jews, nor the
memorial of them perish from their
ed."-Esther TX.
According to the resolution voiced in
these excerpts from the romantic book
of the Old Testament, the Jews have
observed annually since that remote
period, the reign of Ahasuerus of Per-
STA, the feast Of Purim. 1t was writ.
ten in the laws, which altered not, that
the Jews should observe the day with
feasting and rejoicing on account of
the deliverance of the nation from the
vile plot of Haman, which involved
himself instead of the Jews in ruin.
Observed All Over the World.
Every year since that ancient day
the memory of the deliverance of the
Jewish nation has been observed as a

semi-religious and secular holiday. 1t
is in the nature of a national holiday.
and is generally observed in Palestine
and among the Jewish people through
out the world as one of the great days
of the year, and joy is given no bounds.
The holidays fall on the thirteenth
and fourteenth days of the month
Adar, which corresponds to the month
of March. The Jews aim to follow as
closely as possible the directions con-
tanned in the Book of Esther for the
celebration of this great day. They
aim to fulfill the words in the Old
Testament: "As the days wherein the
Jews rested from their enemies, and
the month which was turned from
sorrow into JOY, and from mourning
into a good day; that they should
make them days of feasting and joy,
and of sending portions one to an
other"
The days among the Jews of this
country are not recognized particular
ly as religious holidays, and business is
not inhibited, though all recognize 1t as
a holiday and indulge in gayety. Gifts
are exchanged and they are generally
flowers and the like.
Fasting, Joy and Feasting.
The Reformed Jews, who maintain,
according to the theories of higher
criticism, that the Book of Esther is
apocryphal, do not observe the day
with religious rites. But the orthodox
Jews still retain the old customs and
usages that cling to the day.
The day before the feast is devoted
generally to fasting. On the eve pre-
ceding the feast the congregations as
semble in the synagogues, and, among
other simple services, the Book of
Esther is read through. On the morn
ing of the feast the congregations
again gather in the synagogues and
the book Is again read. After the
| morning services are closed the peo-
pie disband and the day is devoted to
feasting, amusements and all forms
of gayety.
The holiday will be observed in st.
Paul this year, as usual. among the
Jewish people. Among the orthodox
Jews the holiday will commence
| Thursday, and In the evening the
usual services, including the reading
of the Book of Esther, will be held.
There will be no especial celebration
| among those belonging to the Reform
| ed sect.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The drills held by the st. Paul COM
panies during the coming week will
probably be the last held in the pres
ent st. Paul armory. Within ten days
the work Of tearing down will COM
mence, and 1T will probably be late in
the fall before the new structure is
completed. It has not been decided yet
where the companies will be located.
The price demanded by the Auditorium
management was a bar to their occu-
plying that building. and Maj. George
c. Lambert has called meeting Of the
officers Of the st. Paul battalion to
meet in the armory this afternoon at
o'clock to decide on temporary quar-
tiers, several places being in view. The
principal thing will be to secure rooms
for the company property. while the
hall does not make So much difference,
as summer is coming on, and. if neces-
sary. the companies can drill on the

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature. but few real
lie its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you

and intestines, and carries them out of
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartfc.
It absorbs the injurious gases which coll

fects the stomach and bowels; It disin-
fects the mouth and throat from The poi

All druggists sell charcoal In one forr,
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large. pleasant tasting lozenges. the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these Iozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion sweet

of it Is that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the con
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking Of the
benefits of charcoal, says: 81 advise Stu

ARTISTIC WAR RELIC
TO BE GIVEN TO STATE
Will Be Presented to Governor In
Trust Until Relic Room Is Ready.

About twenty years ago a st. Paul
woman, Miss Lillian 2. Hoblit, painted
a picture of the First Minnesota regi-
ment as it lay in camp at Camp Stone.
Poolesville, Md. 1t was never her in
tention to part with it, for two of her
brothers were in the regiment at the
time, and one of them was buried at
the scene of the picture.
But circumstances have forced her
to sell the relic, and, that 1t might be
certain to fill worthy place, the La
dies Of the G. A. R. have purchased
the picture and will present 1t to Gov.
Van SAINT, in trust, until the relic room
Of the new capitol is finished. where it
will find an honorable place.
This presentation will take place
next Thursday afternoon, in Central
hall, Seventh and Sixth streets, at the
state convention of the Ladies of the

RANDOLPH PEOPLE
ARE IN DILEMMA
Failing to Get Car Line Re-
stored They Will Storm
Board Of Aldermen.


Randolph street property owners
who have been yearly agitating the
rebuilding of the street car line On
that street since it was discontinued
are in a dilemma.
Six months ago their representative,
Aid. Rohland introduced in the board
of aldermen an ordinance calling for
the construction of the line as far as
Pascal avenue the sewer limit. Pend
ing an opinion from the legal depart
ment as to the city's right to order
the construction of the line, the meas
ure was sent to the committee on
streets, where it laid for a month. The
opinion was satisfactory, but a ma
jortty of the committee demurred
A delegation of the property own
ers called upon the officials of the
street car company, but the confer
ence was not satisfactory. The COM
mittee on streets was again appealed
to, but it suggested a conference with
President Lowry and more delay was
occasioned. To add to the annoyance,
Aid. Elder introduced another resolu-
ton calling upon the legal department
to enforce any ordinance calling for an
extension and now with the two in eX-
istence a deadlock exists.
At the last meeting Of the board Of
aldermen, Aid. Rohland came armed
with an ordinance designed to remove
all distractions and to bring the mat
ter to a speedy conclusion, but met
with such opposition that he was COM
PEELED to withdraw 1t.
The board, or at least majority o.
the members, are said to be opposed
to any legislation that will force the
street car company to rebuild the Ran
dolph street car line and until this is
removed little hope is held out for the
improvement.
The property owners, who say they
have parted with nearly 100000 so far
in an effort to get and retain the line,
now threaten to organize and come
down en- masse to the board meetings
until their demands are satisfied.
