MORE ID SAY 0F
 MARRIAGE RITES Monsignor J. M. Lucey Writes Another Communi- cation to the Graphic On the Subject.
ACTION IS ENDORSED.
He Says-Public Amusements Are Al. right But They Should Remain Within The Bounds of Propriety, Says the Writer.

Monsignor J. M. Lucey, of St. Jos eph's Catholic Church, today address, ed another letter to the Graphic in which he explains his position in denouncing the recent rink marriage. He also has something further to say on the subject of marriage rites. His letter follows:
 Editor Graphic:
 I write a few words to thank the Graphic for printing my card about the skating ring marriage. A sub- stantially similar communication was sent to the Commercial. A nasty glance over it's columns failed to bring it to view and no doubt the waste basket has received it along with the other articles not up to the standard.
 I am aware that the marriage cere- mony is in the eyes of many in fact of all non-Catholic Christians, civil rite. In the Catholic Church it is a
 
 as the church recognizes the valid ity of almost all the marriages of those outside her pale, her ministry naturally feel an interest in the mar riage rite by Whomsoever or where soeyer performed. Moreover, there is growing sentiment among all Chris tians that marriage should be made an exclusively religious rite. This is the sentiment, so far as I can in- terpret it, of the Protestants of our community. Very few families wish anything but a church marriage. It is felt that the young couple will find people enough after their marriage to drag them down to the low levels and that it is the part of their best friends to surround them with the highest and holiest associations at the moment when they are standing on the threshold of life and on the point of stepping forward to take their place in the ranks of the busy and tumul- tuous world around them. Such cir cumstances exercise an inspiring in- fluence on their inexperienced lives. But to make a mockery of marriage is to destroy their faith in any nor ality- whatever.
 Il am heartily in, favor of athletics and amusements, provided everything is clean and decent. Places of public amusement should limit their per-, formances to what is strictly within the bounds of recognized proprie- ty and what is within their sphere. By so doing they will receive reasonable patronage from a community that professes to follow i the principles of Christian morality. I have letters of commendation of the article that appeared in the Graph ic from the Secretary of the Y. M. c. A. and from others whose judgment I value very highly.

But there is but one state I love to , represent, and that is the imperial state of Texas: I have served her in the Senate six years and I shall serve her twelve years longer.

Next election we will line up from the governor down, not including the l governor, but beginning with the lieutenant governor and on down. We will line these matters up and teach them lesson They need it and we will attend to their case. A man who would give a minority of the Senate a majority of the com mittee ought to be attended to. The men who are opposing me are men who are nothing, while those who are with me are the living, breath ing, active Democracy of this state. l am going to publish history of this campaign, and some of the things in it will make interesting reading.
 Every grafter in the state is lined up against me. Jesus had Peter to deny Him and Judas to betray Him, and for my life I can not see but that Peters crime was not as grave as that of Judas. had nearly as soon betray friend las deny him in the time of need"

Bv Jewish Citizens of This * fity-Mask Ball at Club 6night Begins the Festi-
 Vities.
THE BEAUTIFUL STORY
Of sEsther, Recalled-How The HOli-
 day Is Observed Elsewhere and the Different Manner In Which the Re.
 formed and Orthodox Jews Observe

It is the general custom among professors of the Jewish faith to this week celebrate the Feast of Purim, and in all families to relate the beautiful story of Esther. The Feast of Purim is to be given to- night in many Pine Bluff homes. A grand mask ball will inaugurate the weeks festivities at the Bluff City club. In various cities over the cQfntry elaborate ceremonies, some of Nlem mammoth in detail are announced in celebration of the an- cient merry festival.
 Twenty-three hundred and nine ty years have elapsed since Esther, Ia Jewish maiden, consort of < %Ahasuerus, regarded among stud Aents of ancient history as identical Swith Xerxes, preserved the Jews, Presidents of his domain, from ex- Termination.
 8 The second Temple of Jerusalem shad been destroyed and the Jews Again dispersed Mordecai and Es-
 her had emigrated to the Kingdom fpled by Ahaseurus.
 H Darius Hytaspes, the father of
 Ahasuerus, had suffered terrible &efeat in his war with the Greeks sSA the famous battle of Marathon;
 End Ahasuerus had determined to '8 Finnish the Athenians for this, and sIas accordingly planning great
 Expedition for this purpose, and pos S1tbly this assemblage of nobles of N lie empire was to consult about this lhportant undertaking.
 In the midst of the feast the gkin sent for Queen Vashti to come aint& the banqueting hall that the Apnnces might see her beauty. This, Very naturally, with true womanly amodesty, she refused to do, and the s ling was so angry that he deposed
 hr from being queen. Then the srest maidens in the kingdom S1ere gathered together in the pal y1e that Ahasuerus might select one
 be his queen.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-02-28

And the king chose a beautiful young Jewess named Esther, who was an orphan and had been adopt ed by her cousin Mordecai, who was one of those who had remained in exile in the kingdom of Persia in- stead of returning to Judea, and had become a prominent servant of Ahasuerus. He had told Esther, whose moral character seemed to have been as great as her physical beauty, not to reveal her national ity.
 Haman, an arrogant noble, in- censed because Mordecai refused to kneel before him, obtained the per- mission of the king to exterminate "a people scattered yet separate" from the rest of his subjects. Esther gained audience with the king and outwitted Haman and since that incident, as written in the Book of Esther:
 ''Therefore the Jews made the 14th day Of Adar a day of gladness andfeasting and a good day, and of sending presents to one another and aims to the poor"
 The manner in which Purim is observed, even in this country, de- bends altogether upon the way in which the parents of the celebrant: were reared. Judging from the de- scriptions and narratives depicting the merrymaking on Purim, in ev- cry nook and corner in odd places of Mother Earth where Jews have their own habitats, they have their own style in arranging for the eel. ebration.
 The ''Megillath Esther is read in the orthodox synagogs. In some of them the name of Hamal is received by hoots and groans, the children as rule contributing noises of every character. Tn con- servative and reform congregations the Purim service is made the oc- casion for taking up collections for charitable purposes, the Alliance Israelite themselves receiving alona from this collection thousands of dollars annually.

THE COMMITTEE WAS OFF
Fargo Alderman Says Fargo Pays
Double Grand Forks Rate for
Street Lights.

Alderman William Mills, of Fargo, is
a visitor in the city today, delegate
to tho Loyal American conclave.
While here, Mr.. Mills took the pains to
look into the municipal lighting plant,
and in conversation with an Evening
Times representative he stated that
his investigation resulted in the dis
covery that Grand Forks pays about
SAG for each street light per annum.
while Rargo lights cost $50. Last
spring here was considerable agitation
in the city up the Red for municipal
plant and a committee was appointed
to look into the matter. This commit
tee reported at later date that
Grand Forks paid much more than
Fargo's present scale and the matter
was dropped. Mr.. Mills promises to
makes few disclosures when he hits
the burg up the river.

PLATH SUSTAINED
BAD INJURIES
IN FALL
Great Northern Carpenter Gets
Broken Wrist and Bad Cut
on Face.

A broken wrist. bad cut above the
left eye, and a badly bruised up nose
are the extent Of the injuries sustain
ed by Charles Plath, head carpenter
of the carpenters employed on the
new Great NORTHERN coal chute being
erected west Of the city, when he
fell distance of fifteen feet, landing
on a pile of timbers. He is now in
the Deaconess hospital, resting easily.
Wednesday evening, shortly before
6 o'clock. while engaged in hauling
a heavy timber to the upper portion
of the coal chute. the rope broke.
Five men were working on the rope
from the ground, while Mr. Flath was
stationed on some cross timbers about
fifteen feet above ground. When the
rope broke, he lost his balance and
tumbled to the pile of timbers below.
The men on the ground had narrow
escape from injury when the timber
fell, they being obliged to make a
fast run for safety.
The injured man lives at Delano,
Mimi, a small town about thirty miles
from Minneapolis. He is married, and
has three children. They have been
notified of the accident. but insomuch
as Mr.. Plath's condition is not seri-
GUS. it is not probable that Mrs. Plath
will come to this city.

STRANDED WITHOUT A Penny
Minot Woman Finds Herself in Sad
Plight-Ass't G. N. Agent Taylor
Advanced Ticket to Fargo.

In strange city and without
penny is the sad dilemma in which
Miss Bertha Stewart, a young lady
residing in Minot. found herself last
evening. Miss Stewart boarded a train
yesterday morning at Minot bound for
Fargo where she has accepted a posi-
ton. When she got off the train in
Grand Forks she missed her pocket
book containing about SIS. She re-
turned to her seat but a thorough
search of the seat and the entire car
was fruitless and she found herself
face to face with serious question.
Miss Stewart borrowed enough
money from fellow passengers to pay
for her lodging and Assistant Great
Northern Agent Taylor this morning
advanced her enough money to pay
fare to the city up the Red.
