THE UNION OF AMERICAN HEBREW
CONGREGATIONS.

The large vote which elected Theodore
Roosevelt to the presidency Of the
United States may be safely attributed
to the fact that the people believe him
to be man who "does things'' It is
in human nature to admire men who are
not merely theorists, but practice what
they preach. TO this is unquestionably
due the success that has attended the ef-
forts Of those who have been at the helm
OF The Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregatiOns for almost generation DR..
Wise, of immortal memory, and those
who worked with him, were men of ac-
ton who were not satisfied to merely an
nounce principles, but who were deter
mined that these principles should be-
come a part Of the active life of those
whom they were intended to influence,
and the union has been fortunate in hav-
ing constantly had such men to guide it's
affairs
The Hebrew Union College, with it's
list OF graduates, the board Of delegates
on civil rights, the activities of those
who are engaged in organizing congre-
cations and starting Sabbath schools
through the land, all evidence that the
spirit which animated the founders of
The Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations is still alive and active.
The representatives Of the congrega-
tions who in a few days will assemble in
council in Chicago owe it to their con-
stituents- AYE, to the Jews of the United
States s-to do all that lies in their power
to support by their advice and their
means, the able men who are charged
with the management Of the affairs of
this great union, so that their activities
shall continue to the end that nothing be
left undone for the promotion and well
fare OF Judaism in the United States

JEWISH WIDOWS AND ORPHANS HOME
The Golden Jubilee of the Institution to
Take Place January 9th in New
Orleans,


sary of the Jewish Widows and Or
phans' Home on January Sth will have
many interesting features. 1t will re-
call the personality of many distin-
guished Jewish citizens who have lived
and worked in the city and many of
whom have passed to their rest Of all
the members who participated in the Or
ganizatiOn and whose names appeared
as charter members there are now but
three remaining. They are Joseph ST.
mon, Joseph Marx and Joseph Magner.
"A coincidence in the first names of all
three is quite remarkable one, and it is
rather singular that these three men who
worked to relieve the sufferings of their
fellows and survived all the others who
started with them should have the same
name.
The dedication of the Isidore Newman
Manual Training School on January Sth
will begin with an overture by a band OF

will be delivered by Rabbi NJ. P. Jacob
son of Shreveport, David Marx of At

James A. Addicott, principal of the
training school, will deliver an address,

glowing ball Of fire, and like an invert-
ed pinwheel. or a venomous snake 1t
began to circle downward around the
pole with frightful rapidity.
Twenty feet from the ground band
of iron circled the pole. Until the
thunderbolt reached the circlet 1t held
Its firm, round shape, shedding only
a brilliant shower Of sparks, thrown off
like radium particles In It's descent.
Strikes Group Of People.
AS 1t reached tho iron bolt there
was a sharp report, like the discharge
OF a machine gun, and on the instant
the ball was shattered into a score of
zig gag darting tongues, which, quicker
than it takes to tell, spread off in all
directions into the budding people.
Then followed succession of sharp
reports like the rapid firing of pis-
tol, and swiftly, silently five dead men
were strewn upon the wet sand, al
most a hundred more men, women
and children were stunned and thrown
down, scorched and burned, deprived
of speech and left unconscious In the
violent downpour Of rain.
One after another the tongues of
light disappeared into the sand and
within five seconds after the giant ball
had crashed through the rift In the
clouds and descended upon the flag
pole it had done It's work of destruc-
ton and passed away.

BALL c A N E
EsTELL PAXTON, 10 YEAR OLD
BOY. DIES FROM EFFECT OF
INJURY.

Highland Center, July 31.-(Special)
|-Estell Payton, the 16 year old son of
Charles Payton Of Highland Center,
was instantly killed while playing
ball Sunday afternoon at Naseby's
Corners, seven miles south Of High
land Center. Young Payton was
catcher on the boys team from this
town, which was playing against the
boys team from Dahlonega. Payton
was standing close behind the batter
and was struck by a foul tip" The
ball hit him directly over the heart,
and he died without a word.
1t is not unusual for a catcher to be
struck by ball in this manner but 1t
is seldom that the effects are fatal.
The players and spectators suspected
nothing out of the ordinary when
young Payton was struck. He stopped
and picked up the ball, throwing 1t
back to the pitcher, but Just .as he
erouched to catch the next one, he fell
over and befcsE anyone could reach
him he was dead. $s
The body was brought to Highland
Center at once and taken to the home
of the boys father Estell was an
only son. His mother died about
three years ago.
Funeral services will be held at
4:30 o'clock this afternoon from the
Payton residence, conducted by Rev.
G, e. Petit and the remains will be
taken to Delta for burial. Services
will be neld at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow

of Professor W. A. Davis, superintend-

schools at Unalaska, Alaska.
In a letter to ST. Louis friend the
professor tells how he has been at
work since 1893, when he went to
Alaska, to eradicate the evil, but de-
clares that he has been unable to get
the United States authorities inter

freed two little girls from slavery and
sent them to their homes, while he
worked without avail to procure the
release of six other white girls in I'm

exist in other towns
