NEW YORK, Jaf. 16.-Levi Rouss OF
Passaic, N. j., has celebrated what he
claims as his 115th birthday. Rouss
hos resided in Passaic for twelve years.
having been taken there from New
York by local Hebrew leaders.
The latter had secured ground ON the
outskirts of Passaic for a new ceme-
terry and, to follow out an ancient tra-
dItion, wanted to find an old man to be
the first to lie in the new cemetery.
Rouss was found on the cast side
and it was thought that he could live
only short time. His fellow Hebrews
promised him money, a home and
plenty of food. The one consideration
was that he be buried in the new
cemetery.
1t took Rousa one week to get back
his health and since then, except for
about two weeks last spring, he was
walked about unaided.
Several members of the committee
VINO took him to Passaic, expecting
that he would soon be buried in the
now cemetery, are now resting there
themselves.

also perform many daring and difficult
feats on the rings. Harry Lorraine, a
pleasing baritone is singing Sweet

Rance Smith, colored comedian of
ability, is duplicating his success of
last week. Flora st. Ives, "a pretty girl
and a brillian musician, wins applause
with her novel musical act. Nellie
Montgomery, local favorite, deserves
to be elassed with the best soubrettes
in vaudeville. She received rousing
reception last night and made a tre-
mendous hit with her clever singing of

The Huegel brothers, comedy acrobats,
