Jehoash-.The Yiddish
Bard Of the Rockies
Continued from Page 4.)


uate course there, where he remained
only during one scholastic term. This
was his only experience of school life.
At that time he commenced to give his
thoughts a poetical garb One of his pro-
ductions fell into the hands of that
greatest master of the Yiddish, |. L..
PeretZ, who, with his eagle eye, discerned
in JehOash the divine spark of the true
poet. ''.
Notwithstanding the fact that PeretZ
encouraged the youthful poet to go on
with his work and published in the first
issue of the Yiddishe Bibliotheca which
he edited, one of his poems. JehOaSh
wrote but seldom. Family affairs soon
compelled him to come to the United
States and here he forsOok his muse al
together, and devoted his nergies to
commercial pursuits. The same cause
which brought Helen Hunt Jackson to
Colorado and made this state the
haven Of refuge of many an illustri-
Gus person. brought also Jehoash to
Denver in 1897. Not until after he
had breathed the invigorating air OF
the Rocky Mountains for five years
did he again lift his voice in song.
The two hundred and fourteen poems
contained in his first volume OF verse
represent, therefore, the native product
of Colorado.
| have warned the readers that L am
not critic and therefore no one will
expect me to use the technical nomencla-
ture of critics. | do not know whether
.Jehoash's S poetry should be classed as
lyric, epic or dramatic; whether he be
longs to the romantic, naturalistic mys-
tic or symbolistic school; whether he is
superior to Frug, Vinchewsky, Rosen-
field, MarinOff and Lyesin, the Yiddish
poets, or that he is one or more rungs
lower or higher than Shelly, Byron or
Whitman This task leave to him who
is equal to it, l will content myself with
the humble office of herald.
The poems in the volume just issued
are classified under the following heads:
"From Bible and Talmud'; "Jewish
Legends' "Lyric Songs; "Flowers
and Thorns'' "Lights and Shadows
"Natonal Songs and ''Latter-Day
Poems.'
The first two divisions are really one
and the same thing. The poems based
upon the events of the Bible and Talmud
are just as much of a legendary char
acter as those based upon the legends
The Jewish outlook., 1907-09-06

current among the Jews of the present
day, and are treated in the same mas
terly way Jehoash is essentially a bal
lad writer The past as revealed in le-
gend and folk lore is not represented to
his mind in hazy and faded colors. 1t
stands out in bold relief like steel en-
craving. With the 'siX hundred thou
sand slaves without God and without
faith-without bond which would
unite them into a nation with their
backs accustomed to the mater S lash
accustomed only to bear burdens, Je
hoash lives with these, his ancestors the
night before the Ten COMMANDMENTS
were given to them (Die Nacht for Ma
tan Torah p. 4O.) Any reader can see
King David play his harp and hear him
wish he were again a shepherd, so well
does Jehoash depict David in a poem of
but few lines. (David's Harp, p. 49,
The pathos is intense in the poem where
the Rabbi Mathia curses his beautiful
daughter that she may no more tempt
men into sinful ways and she dies The
bride that was kidnapped by an amorous
devil on the eve of her marriage; the
soul of one who died childless and was
transmigrated into a dog that kept up a
howl near the Synagogue until someone
offered up the prayer of Kaddish "a con-
gregation composed of dead worshippers,
are themes as wonderful and fearful as
Poe's 'The Raven.''
All his legends are of dismal and
gloomy nature. There is not ray Of
sunshine in them, not the slightest streak
of cheer. He shows his master hand in
not betraying by a single word that he
tells a legend. He hides his identity COM
pletely and narrates the story with such
an earnest mien that the reader is trans
ported into the world Of the past and
the dead. Surely the ancient bards who
fully believed what they sang could not
have done any better than Jehoash. Once
in while Jehoash introduces humor-
Gus situation, but it is done in such
way as if the narrator never intended
it as a mirth producer. Here is one
where Jehoash shows his ability in han
ding such material. For the sake OF those
who are not familiar with this custom we
will state that according to an ancient
custom observed by some orthodox Jew
ish communities, suicides are buried at a
little distance from the regular burial
grounds.
The pine trees are rustling in the old grave
yard,
The moon looks on pensve and cold;
From under the ground now the dead come
a-running
Their nightly reunion to hold.

Veterans Of Gen. Lees Army March to
White House to visit President.

Washington, June 4.-President
Roosevelt today received about fifty
Confederate veterans from Tennessee
who are on the way home from the
Richmond reunion. They included
infantry companies A from Memphis
and from Nashville and troop B of
Nashville cavalry. They marched to
the White House, the infantrymen
with their rifles and the cavalrymen
with their sabres, the first time in the
history of Washington, it is said, that
armed Confederate veterans have
paraded the streets of Washington.
The cavalrymen were some of General
Nathaniel B. Forests troopers. Many
of the veterans were attired in the uni
form they wore during the civil war;
At the head of the procession they bore
the United States flag while that of the
Confederacy was kept furled. Briga-
der General G. w. Gordon, of the de-
partment commanders of the United
Confederate Veterans, and Representa-
tive j. Wesley Gaines, marched with
the men. The President gave each of
his callers a hearty shake of the hand
and told them he was glad to see them.
The old soldiers were highly pleased
with their reception. During the
presentation Hamilton Parks, of Nash
vile, presented on behalf of the various
business organizations of Nashville an
invitation to the President to stop there
on his way home from Memphis in Octo-
Der. The veterans promised to escort
the President from Memphis to Nash
vile if he would honor the city with a
visit. Mr.. Gaines says the President
was non-committal as to whether he
would come, but that he would try his
best to do so.

FULTON FOUND GUILTY.
Murderer Of Johnson Is Guilty OF Murder
In the First Degree.

Noah Fulton, who killed John John
johnson, near Greendale, this county,
on April 9th, was convicted in the cir
cult court at Abingdon yesterday, the
jury returning verdict of murder in
the first degree, which is punishable
with death.
The crime of which Fulton is charged
is one of the most cold-blooded in the
annals of crime ever perpetrated in
Washington county.
Fulton shot and killed Johnson through
malice.
Both men had been employed in lum-
Der camp in West Virginia where they
had had some difficulty, and upon John
sons return home near Greendale he
told several of his friends that in the
alteration he made Fulton "back down"
from fight. Fulton took exceptions
to the story as told by johnson, and go
ing to the home of a Mrs. Murray's
where johnson had to have his pictures
taken, called him out in the yard and
shot johnson, killing him almost instant
y- Fulton make his escape and was la
ter caught on train near johnson City
and brought back to Abingdon.
Fulton escaped Immediately after
committing the crime, as he still wore
his overalls when captured, not taking
time to change his clothing.
Fulton is about twenty-five years old,
and an intelligent man. He never seem
ed to realize the enormity of his crime,
when the verdict of the jury was read.
Fulton apparently accepted it in a cool
and deliberate manner.
The attorneys for Fulton will ask the
court to set aside the verdict and grant
their client new trial, should the court
refuse to grant a new hearing, Judge
Hutton will pass on the sentence and fix
the day for the execution. Bristol

Seamen Will Return to Work.

Paris, June 3.-The extended strike
of the seamen has virtually come to an
end with the capitulation of the strikers,
who are expected to resume work at
the home and colonial ports tomorrow
morning.
Captain Lapeyre, one of the strikers
delegates, conveyed this information to
Minister of Marine Thompson at late
hour this evening. He informed NJ.
Thompson that the strikers committee
assembled in Paris had sent the follow
ing message to the ports:
'"The delegates have been in confer
ence with the minister of marine and
the naval committee of the chamber of
deputies. The minister has abandoned
the prosecution of deserters, and he
has requested the navigation companies
to reinstate all officers and men. The
members of the naval committee as
sured the delegates that NJ. Thomson s
proposition in the matter of the pen
sions would be improved. The delegates
therefore unanimously propose that the
strike cease"
The firm attitude Of the minister, and
his promise that no penalties would be
inflicted, apparently convinced the
strikers that it would be wiser to accept
the governments proposal to increase
the pensions of the seamen from$40. sc
to $72, and of officers from $156 to $2O(
a year than to continue to paralyze com.
