NeInSVIlie Man Died of Poisoning,
Says Coroner's Jury.
Neillsville, Wis, March 9.-The
mystery of the death of William Dodte
has been only partly cleared up by
the coroner's jury, whose verdict is
that the man died of arsenic poison
ing, administered by unknown hands"
DOdte died after being i'll a week at
the hospital here. 1t was suspected
that he had been poisoned and an
analysis of his stomach showed traces
of arsenic.
Last year DOdte and his wife separ-
ated, she applying for a divorce. The
case was dropped, however, and the
couple continued to live under the
same roof, the husband in one end
and the wife in the other of the house.
They worked the farm together. Dodte
recently broke his arm and he became
seriously i'll. Then he was trans
ferred to the hospital, where he died.
Samples of food from the DOdte
home were examined by an Eau Claire
chemist, who says he found traces of
arsenic 1t is said that Dodte had
threatened to commit suicide several
times. The police are now investi-
eating.

AIgeciras, Mar. 9.-The success on

Delegates of the neutral powers
generally regard the Austrian police

The Jewish outlook., 1906-12-14
EDITORIAL

What is the meaning OF
uannuA' 'Hannukkah is asked in the
Nan Talmud And the answer
is In the fifteen chapters of the Shul-
chan Aruch we are informed minutely
and most accurately about the very I'M
portant facts, how, where and when the
lights must be lit, what kind of oil may
be used, as to the quality of the wick,
and other trifes But regarding the his
torical and ethical meaning Of the fes-
tival we hear nothing, for, the story that
at the dedication Of the purified temple
in Jerusalem only one small cruise Of con-
secrated oil was found, which was hardly
sufficient to furnish light for one night,
but my a miracle lasted for eight nights
(Taanith- 23) is no better explanation
than nothing. -
'Hannu}Slkaf; literally means dedica-
ton; it is celebrated eight days, begin
ming the twenty fifth day of Kisley, as
the ''Feast of the Maccabees," and fes-
tival of lights 1t was instituted by Ju-
das Maccabeus, 165 B. c., as memorial

prayer) because it is not true, that God
ever enjoined us to kindle the Han
nlkkah lamp, just as little as he en-
Joined us to 'wash our hands," (NeZ-
thilath Jadajim).
The "Jewsh Exponent Of December
7th made editorially the false statement
that the increased attention paid to the
observation of 'Hannukkah in this coun-
try dates from the renewal OF the perse-
cution of the Jews Of Russia a quarter OF
century ago. For a long period prior
to 1881 the celebration of the Feast OF
the Dedication was confined almost en-
tirely to the orthodox synagogues and
households. In other circles the ancient
festival with its wealth of poetry and
beautiful symbolism was almost forgot
ten.
Such woeful and deplorable ignorance
can only emanate from neo-orthodox Ro-
mantaclsts and latter day saints, who
write about things of which they know
nothing, for the very contrary is the
case Orthodoxy, which through its SUI
perstition, blind worship of the dead let
ter and dry legalism had made even the
most beautiful Jewish ceremonies unat-
tractive to educated people, has killed
the 'Hannukkah celebration. 1t is due
only to Reform Judaism that in the last
four decades 'Hannukkah has again been
revived in Germany and in this country.
This is an irrefutable historical fact.
Certain unscrupulous falsifiers of history
should bear this in mind, that people are
getting sick and tired of the tendency to
extol the Russian Jew beyond every
merit. This will prove a boomerang.
Suppose somebody would say that not
the increased attention paid to the OBJ
servance of 'Hannukkah, but the in
creased antisemitism in the United States
is due to the large immigration of Rus
sian Jews? Beware of Chauvanism, be-
fore it is too late. Discite month
The modern 'Hannukkah celebration
in Germany and in this country has be-
come more or less a festival Of charity
and children s festival, with the praise
worthy object in view to counteract the
Christmas celebration in Jewish homes.
In this respect our Sabbath schools have
been doing most excellent work. 1t is
an open secret that in the so-called or
thOdoX Ghettos Of our large cities Christ
mas celebrations in Jewish homes are rap
idly increasing.
1t has been the fashion among ortho-
dox scribblers to style the Reform rab
bis the modern Hellenists. They copy
Graetz in this-and compare the or
thodox with the old Maccabees. Since
Zionism has made it's bow, it's frantic
champions every honest Zionist is
