FEAST OF PASSOV Err
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR
CELEBRATION.
Local Hebrews to Have Domestic and
Temple Services Tomorrow-
Hospitality Feature,

Tomorrow evening. when the sun sets in
the west, there will begin one of the most
joyous feasts of the Israelites, the feast Of
the Passover, the great Hebrew festival in
stituted by Moses In commemoration of the
families of the Israelites remaining intact
the night of the destruction of the first
born in Egypt Immediately preceding the
exodus of the Jews from that country.
In every Hebrew household in Washing
ton and throughout this broad land there
will be celebrated joyous domestic service
called the Sader, at which there will be
feast of song and flow of hospitality and
good feeling. The story of the passover
will be told and the joy of the redemption
from Egypt will be the keynote of the cele-
bration, in fact, as Rabbi Simon expressed
it to a reporter for The Star today, 1t is the
Fourth of July of the Hebrews COM
memoration of freedom from bondage.
For the first time locally there will be
public celebration of the Passover at the
Eighth Street Temple Thursday evening at
o'clock by the Hebrew children of the
Sabbath school, at which the ritual will be
read. largely in English, in order that all
may understand. There will also be the
Passover songs and the Passover meal of
unleavened bread, etc.
Temple Services.
There will be service in the temple
Wednesday evening and again on Thurs
day morning, with appropriate music in
charge of Rabbi Stern, and at which Rabbi
Simon will preach a sermon on the Cos
pei of Freedom" These services will be
patriotic, and the keynote will be liberty
and freedom from the bondage of Egypt.
Friday night there will be lecture In the
Sth street temple on the Legend of the
Wandering Jew The Passover festival
lasts a week and will close with appropri-
ate services next Wednesday morning
In the olden days the feast of the Pass
over was celebrated by sacrificing lambs
toward the evening of the Nth of the first
Hebrew spring month, and eating them on
the following night, as we'll as by exclude
ing all leaven from the meals OF tnat even
ing and of the following seven days, the
first and last of which were observed as
holy. Since the final destruction of the
temple at Jerusalem the Passover has been
celebrated by eating unleavened bread dur
ing the seven days and by the observance
on the first evening Of various domestic
rites commemorative of the deliverance
from Egyptian bondage, including the re-
cital of scriptural and legendary narra-
same national event and the chanting OF
psalms.
In strictly orthodox Hebrew households
today Dishes cooking utensils and crock
ery that have been used during the year
must be replaced by new ones that have
not been touched by food in which there Is
leaven.
Hebrew housekeepers and bakers for He,
brew families have been busy for several
days prepa ing matsoth, or ,unteaVened
bread for use at the Passover feasts.
The Passover is a merry, happy time Ior
the Hebrews, and they make the most of 1t
while it lasts.

Misunderstanding Night.

The Unique, Minneapolis latest new
theater, was formally opened last night,
in the presence Of two large audiences.
From the time, one appears at the en-
trance where the large creeping electric
sign spells out the word ''Unique,' until
one Is ushered into the theater by the
bewigged and bepcw6ered usher In colo
NAL costume Of red, everything IS unique.
From all architectural and artistic point
Of view the theater is a model playhouse
and the "ah's'' and "ohs' that came
from the feminine three-fourths Of last
nights audience showed the favor with
which the house was: received.
Mayor j.. c. Haynes delivered short
address In which, he viewed the Mime
apolis theatrical situation in retrospect.
He said that twenty-five years ago there
were one legitimate theater and one dis
reputable playhouse. Now there are six
reputable places and one disreputable
place, which enjoys but a precarious ex-
istence. This, he considered, indicates
that the ratio Of moral people has in
creased.
The bill that is given at the new thea
ter this week is a good one. The three
Keltons in their musical specially prove
entertaining. ThetDe Monicos are won
derful manipulators of seven silver cir
cles. Carlton Case sings an illustrated
song, and the Misses Pearl Burmeistel
and Mary Haggerty give some grano
opera selections. MIR. and Mrs. Sam Ba.
lille provide fifteen minutes Of nonsense
and music and John H. w. Byrne tells
Of his matrimonial experiences In an en-
! Pertaining monologue. The Freeze broth
| ers give an exhibition Of tambourine jug
| Cling that is marvellous. The moving pic
lures make a hit. .:.:

Roswell E. Field in Chicago Post.
The social season at Minneapolis
reached the climax Of gaiety the other
night when one Of the guests at a ladies'
tea party suddenly discovered. that she
had lost $40 When a superficial search
failed to reveal the culprit the ladies
agreed to have their shoes and stockings
examined, provided the examination was
conducted by "a disinterested party" and
the husband Of the hostess was unani-
mously selected as ably filling the re-
quirements. Congratulations should be
proffered to Mr.. Brown, the gentleman in
question, whose reputation for 'disinter-
estedness'' is so firmly established as to
permit him to examine the shoes and
stockings of ladies under conditions some
what unusual even in Minneapolis. That
Mr.. Brown discharged his duties with dig
nifty and decorum has been duly deposed
| in court by some of the very foremost
representatives Of the very best people
of the Minnesota metropolis. The Incl
dent tends to demonstrate the variety OF
obligations resting upon q man who
moves in society and who does not shrinl
from the imperative commands of no.
| blesse oblige.

Still Standing by His Friends.

The ease with which R. G. Dunn will
sacrifice his friends for his own advance
ment was illustrated again last night
in the Lind-Peterson debate.
Ex-Secretary Verify says he can pro-
duce the agreement in black and white,
if necessary, by which Dunn pledged his
support to Heatwole for the United
States senate in place of Clapp.' se,.. .7szss- i
Last night Governor Lind showed up
the scandalous state Of affairs in the
state land office during Dunn 8 admin
istration. He brought out in such clear
and unmistakable form the real charac-
ter Of the transactions by the ex-audit-
or's clerks in mineral leases and state
lands that when he suddenly stopped
and asked the audience what they would
call that kind Of business if it had been
done under an Ames administration the
response from a multitude Of voices was
HGraft!' One of these clerks was on
the platform, present for the purpose of
coaching Mr.. Peterson in his speech. He
was Inundated to the last degree, altho
it was apparent enough that what he
had done which met with such severe
! condemnation by the audience could not
have been done without the auditor Is
consent. It was expected, Of course,
that when Mr.. Peterson arose to speak
he would have something to say in de-
tense of the ex-auditor in connection
with the mineral leases, and would have
the manliness to include his land clerks
in that defense. But not word Of de-
Tense of the ex-auditor, while the whole
miserable business was dismissed with q
lot of fippant remarks, the purpose OF
which was to throw the whole blame, fol
transactions, which Peterson did not
dare to excuse before that audience
upon the land clerks and make them 6
scapegoat for their chief. It was the cold
est and most selfish abandonment Of
one's friends that could be conceived
But it is of piece with the throwing
down Of Heatwole and illustrates agai1
the readiness with which Dunn will
cast his friends overheard, if it seem
that thereby he can keep himself iron
, sinking. The incident has been tn
subject of much remark since. Posi-
bly, MIR. Dunn may repudiate Mr.. Peter
son s action. We shall see.' Il. -.
