AT THE PRINCESS.

At the Princess theater this
week are number of clever acts,
including futile and May in a
sketch, "The Pipe Dream" which
is meeting with the enthusiastic
approval of the audiences.
Thompson, the vocalist, is pleas
ing with his ballads; Amick and
Marez have a singing and talk
ing act; Dolly Malone is clever
vocalist, and Arthur Best is one
of the most popular comedians
who has yet appeared at this
house. :.
The coziness of the Princess
attracts crowds at all times dur
ing the day. Several reels of
moving pictures add to the gen.
eral enjoyment of the perform
ance.

that some few days later the
named brother was afflicted
with a serious illness that threat
ened his very life. After being
laid up in bed for a number of
weeks the attending physicians
held out little hope for his recov-
cry. And when science had laid
down her hands in despair and
medicine had proved ineffective,
the old method of 'benevolence
and prayer was resorted to.
And, wonderful to relate, this
method worked like magic. In
a very few days afterward the
brother was able to rise from his
bed of sickness, and he finally
grew to be as hale and hearty as
ever. Needless to tell that his
contribution to the cause we had
espoused was among the most
generous.-The Zionist.

in trying to reform it. He adap-
ted himself to a number of quaint
Jewish Orthodox customs and
adhered to them strictly all his
life. He said that ever since he
was a boy at school he felt pc
culiarly attracted toward the
Jews. He used to like the Jew
ish boys and for this was called
by some of his companions "Jew
mad"
All this, however, is not as i'm
portant as is the fact that he was
ready and fervent defender of
the Jews whenever they were at
tackled by anti-Semites. Father
Ignatius was a man of peace, but
he knew how to fight when fight
ing was necessary and he employ
ed his knowledge in behalf of
the Jews very often. In his death
therefore the Jews of Europe
particularly feel that they have
lost a true friend.-St. Louis
Star.

Genuine surprise is being
manifested by the patrons of the
Cozy theater this week, and just
ly so, for the present perform
ance is really one of the most ex-
cellent since the opening of the
theater.
Marie Dixie Warfield is in the
lead in the race for popular IA
vor, and is winning many friends
with her charming personality.

Father Ignatius Dies.

Father Ignatius, one of the
best friends the Jews ever had
in England died and he is mourn
ed wherever Jews live. He was
perhaps the most CONSPICUOUS non
Jew who was an ardent Zionist.
He appeared often on the pub
lie platform to speak for Zionism
and all Jews to enter the ranks
of those who desire to see the
Jews in Palestine again, as in
the days of yore.
He was the only priest who
was permitted to address au-
diences in synagogue of the Or
thodox Jews. While he always
wore a large cross on his chest,
he never neglected to take it off
when entering a synagogue in
order not to hurt the feeling of
those in whose house of worship
he entered.
Father Ignatius liked the Or
thodox Jews better than the Re
formed. 1t seemed to him tina
the latter were leaving out thu
best part of their ancestral faitl

but in 1887 he returned to New
Orleans as Superintendent Of the
institution. Since that time he
has been continuously at it's head,
but his activity has extended al
so in other directions. He has
been one of the most prominent
workers in all charitable and
philanthropic undertakings, be-
ing especially prominent in pris-
on reform work. He was one of
the pioneers in kindergarten
work in this city and has always
been identified with this charac-
ter of educational training. He
has on several occasions been a
delegate to the international Pri-
son Reform Congress, and has
read important papers on vital
subjects before bodies of this
kind. Locally he is an active
member of the Prisons and Asy-
lums Commission, Prison Re
form Association, Board of Cha
rites and Corrections, and he
is a member of the Touro mfr
airy Association, of B'nai Birth
and of the Masonic order.
Mr.. Heymann's resignation is
due to i'll health, resulting from
an attack from which he suffered
last September in Chicago. He is
now regaining his strength, and
his physician believes he will
shortly be himself again, but has
cautioned him not to do any more
work than necessary.

twenty-one years Superintendent

phans' Home, on St. Charles and
Peters Avenue, has resigned that
position, and within the next few

of Mr.. Heymann's present staff
of workers. Mr.. Teller, the new
/ Neglected Superintendent, is said
to be one of the most scholarly
i young men in the country, anC
has been trained especially fo1
this kind of work. He is 27 years
old and will shortly be married

DR.. SURGEONS FAREWELL.
Reverend Objects To American style of
Chewing and Delivering Papers.

Rev. DR.. William Spurgeon closed his
revival services and lectures in this
city last night, with lecture in the
Central Christian church. The speaker
gave special attention to gum chewing
women and tobacco chewing men, stat
ing that If American women would
agree that no man should kiss them
who chewed tobacco. they would put a
stop TO the filthy practise in II months
II was an appalling thought to DR..
Sturgeon that this country should
spend s11.000,000 in one year on chewing
gum and $l,0OOO00 on heather redeem
ing missionaries He was caustic on
the rush of the average American to
capture the almighty dollar, and said
there is a danger here OF letting free
dom run away, and degenerating into
license. DR.. Surgeons description of
a courtroom scene in Mississippi, and
the loose style OF ethics obtaining
there, was entertaining. He also stated
his objection to having his daily paper
fired at him by the news carrier, claim
ing that the proper way was for the
carrier to take it into the house and lay
IL IN his table drawer.

INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
To Determine the Cause OF Death OF
Five Months Old Baby.

Yesterday morning Rosine Felmano,
the 5-months-old daughter of Tony
Felmano. of 564 west Fourth North
street, died quite suddenly, prcsuma-
bly, from some internal trouble. DR.. l..
w. Waite was summoned by the par
ents. and arrived AT the house about
three hours after the death of the
child. The physician declined to issue
death certificate In the usual form
tor the reason that he did not arrive
until three hours after death, but he
finally signed q certificate with the
written statement that he was called
after the infant died and would not
therefore specify the cause of death.
The matter was called to the atten-
ton of Justice of the Peace Dana 4.
Smith this morning. IL had been ar
ranged to hold the funeral this after
noon and the body was prepared for
burial at O'Donnel's undertaking par
lors, Justice Smith ordered that the
funeral be postponed until an Investiga-
ton Is made. 1t Is not the purpose of
the authorities to hold an inquest. but
merely an investigation TO determine II
possible the cause OF death.
