Great Lovers Of Water.

The Siamese are more devoted to the
water than any other nation In the
world. They are nearly always bath
ing, generally with their clothes on,
and they never 60 anywhere by land
If they can possibly go by water. The
streets of Bangkok are IKE those of
Venice, and the inhabitants say that
their idea OF paradise would be a town
with canals where there were currents
In both directions, 50 that they might
be spared the effort Of rowing.

REMAINS OF SOLOMON KAHN IN
TERED THIS AFTERNOON.

The funeral of Solomon Eanh of the
firm of S. Kann, Sons & Co.. who died
las- Saturday in Baltimore was held at
3 o'clock this afternoon from his late resi-
dence. The services were conducted by
Rev. DR.. William Rosenau. The inter-
ment was in the Baltimore Hebrew ceme-
terry.
MI kannS career was regarded as
notable from the fact that on coming to
this country he was without means or
resources Solely by his efforts he built
up successful business in Baltimore and
this city. He saw early tie possibilities
of the department store and bent all his
energies to make success of the inter-
ests in which he was engaged. 1t was
his delight that unaided he had built up
his stores and amassed fortune.
Born in Germany in 1895, his first en-
ployment was obtained in Baltimore IN
1854 as clerk. After settling on South
Broadway, Baltimore, he was compelled
several times to enlarge his quarters. and
about twenty years ago his sons entered
their fathers firm under the new name
of S. kann Sons & Co. Ten years ago
Mr. Kann retired from active business,
and more recently he sold out his inter
ests in the Baltimore store, retaining
those in this city. Three sons OF Mf
Kann-.dessrs. Louis. Simon and Slgmund

Leslie Harris, Second Recital,

An appreciative audience listened to
Mr. Leslie Harris the English enter
tainer. in his second recital at the Column
bia Theater last evening. Mr.. Harris
again proved his ability a monologist,
with distinctive talent as an impersonator
and at piano improvisement. His pro-
gram. in three parts. was as comprehen-
sive as his unique talent required. Prob
ably the signal feature of his work was
the burlesque of a rhapsodie Longroisa
and his adaptation OF 'The Merry
widow waltz TO movements such as
Mozart. Mendelssohn. Chopin and Sousa
might have written. The latter offering
prompted spontaneous recognition from
the audience. His impression OF Chevalier
in the representation of an old Somerset
shire farmer was very good.

Address on Personality and Power


personality and Power was the sub
ject of an address in the gymnasium OF
the Y. M. c. A. building yesterday after
noon by DIR. w. P. Thrkield. president OF
Howard University. He said in part
1T is one thing to know about Jesus
Christ, and it is another thing to know
Him. DR.. Thirkield said. cit is one thing
to know about the springtime. and 1t is
another thing to go out and battle your
soul in the rapture of a spring day.
LAS we toss in our fevered lives, with
temptations near US and all around us
we may not see the presence of God bu,
we can feel Him nigh The one thing In
life is to know Him in the power and fact
of His resurrection.
Life is not worth living unless we
realize His resurrection. If the resur-
rection is not true, we cannot fight the
beast of Ephesus. Life is not worth the
candle.
Jesus is still rising. He did not cease
to rise 1900-odd years ago. The only way
to get right with God is to have faith in
the rising and know Him and His res
direction as power within us
