"The Final Settlement" Company
played to rather small business last
Tuesday night, but it will rank consid-
erably over an average in the quality of
attractions appearing at Reynolds Opera
House this season. 1t was a good play
and we'll presented. There were no spec
ialties, and that is usually a good rec
ommendation. A play which depends
largely upon its specialties for support
hardly ever reaches the expectations of
regular theatre goers. The points of
merit in the show Tuesday night were a
good play and we'll balanced company
There were no stars, but each player
was selected for his particular adapta-
bility to the part, and the play was as
conscientiously presented, or apparently
so, as if the house was packed. One of
the best performances ever seen on any
stage was the original 'Trilby" com
pany, headed by Wilton Lackaye,
Blanche Walsh Burr Mcintosh and Ig-
nacio Martinetti. Neither of these peo-
pie had ever starred until after that per-
Torrance. So faithful was the portra-
ture and accurate to DuMaurier's ideals,
it seemed that the entire cast must have
inspired the author of the book. So it |
must be with any play that is well done.
A great many authors or playwrights
build drama specially suited to the
star, but it is not often that the novel
lists imagination or fancy can be duph-
Gated in an entire cast.
The Final Settlement" deals with
the doings of great trust and the
which often prevail, sacrificing
honor, ideals, happiness and individual
fortunes in its ponderous undertakings.
Union City could well afford to see the
olay by the same company again.

Killed Brother Accidentally

The two young sons of Mr.. Stevens,
aged IA and 16 years, who live about
four or five miles west of Union City,
were out in the woods squirrel hunting
Saturday when the younger boy shot
and instantly killed his brother. The
boy, when asked how it happened, said
that he and his brother were scuffiing
over the one gun that he had. His
brother attempted to take the gun out
of his hands when it was accidentally
discharged, the ball passing through the
upper portion of the heart, killing him
instantly. The mother andfather were

IN A PpoL ROOM
Chas. Norris Has Throat Gut by
Chas. Robertson

Dyersburg, Tenn, Oct. l0.-Charley
Norris, son of Capt. Jack Norris, living
five miles west Of Dyersburg, was al
most instantly killed by Charlie Robert
son last night in Ohio Fowlkes' pool
room on the south side of the public
square.
Robertson cut young Norris throa t
from ear to ear without any cause what
ever. The trouble seemed to be be-
tween Robertson and Fowlzes and Nor
IT'S was a bystander, and if any connec-
ton can be given him whatever he was
trying to keep Robertson from comm Q
into the store, as Fowlles had requested
HIM to stay outside, for he was drink
ing, and was in the way and prevented
trade from going on and Fowlkes sim
ply wanted him to behave himself.
Robertson was drinking and has al
ways been regarded as a dangerous
man.
Charlie Norris simply motioned to
Robertson not to come in the place as
Fowlkes was standing with his pistol
in his hand and all knew that he would
shoot Robertson if he came in the house
after he was told not to. After Norris
had raised his arm in the act of motion
ing Robertson not to come in, Robert
son grabbed him and cut his throat from
ear to ear, and Norris was dead by the
time he sank to the floor.
Norris was well known by all of
Dyersburg and owned several log teams,
and has made success in the logging
business.
Some talk of lynching Robertson was
heard, but Sheriff Dawson says he will
protect the prisoner and he is safely
landed in the Dyer county jail.

Written Expressly for The Jewish

Philadelphia, Pa.
Long through the night, while the
bright stars are shining,
Or the gold-tinted skies tell the
break of the day,
Sad is my heart filed with grief and
repining
Life is so lonely since you've gone
Alone | am wandering, the song-birds
are calling,
Their sweet notes ascend through
the calm Silly air;
Far cross the hill tops twilight is
falling,
Nature seems free from all sorrow
and care.
A sweet melancholy pervades my
whole being
My heart is oerflowing and plaintive
my song
Shadows fantastic before me are flee
ing,
Waters of memory glide swiftly
along.
And now as the sun slowly sinks in
the west,
| lay down my burdens and cares
of the day,
Awaiting the summons to come
home and rest
And join you, dear heart, in that
land far away. 49,:

JEWISH STORIES.

For some reason or other stories of
Jewish life seem to sell better in Eu-
rope than in this country Several
years ago a number of American pub
fishers stated that the publication of
Jewish stories or of any books appeal
ing primarily to Jews was risky I'M
dertaking. This was of course sur
prising, for Jews are known as the
People of the Book" If they are what
they are called they certainly should
read books by Jewish writer's or
about Jews. In Europe this seems to
be the case. More books appealing to
Jewish people are published in Ger
many alone every year than are is
sued in this country. The latest of
these ventures is one undertaken by
the Hermann Seeman Verlag of Berlin.
They have begun the publication of a
set of Jewish works, the entire edition
of which will be known as Judischer
Novellenschatz.
The ten volumes of this edition will
contain stories and novels of Jewish
life written by leading Jewish writer's
of many countries. The first volume
is called Prinzessin Sabbath. 1t con-
tains a well selected collection of sto-
ries from Jewish life. The outhors
whose works are contained in this
volume are: Herman Blumenthal,

A CHAZAN REVENGE.

Often the Chazan is heard outside of
the Synagogue.
The story is told in European Jew
ish newspaper of peculiar trial which
a cantor had with his congregation in
Pashmisel, Galicia. Shortly before the
high holidays the Chazan asked for
a raise" The gabai made the usual
plea that while the members of the
congregation were wealthy the treasury
was almost empty. No raise was
granted But the Chazan remained at
his post and officiated during the holt
days.
Simchas Torah arrived and while re-
citing the Hakofoth "the Chazan took
the opportunity OF rubbing it in to
the congregation by making a slight

of these writer's have made names for
themselves. They know the Jew and
are able to describe him sympathetic

a country like Germany. where anti

should be undertaken. In this conn.
try the few sketches from Jewish life
that lind their way into the non-Jew-
lsh magazine or attain the honor of
DOCK covers are usually caricatures
OF the Jew rather than true pictures
of him or of his life.
This of course may, in measure
account for the fact that American
publishers have not been successful in
their undertakings of publishing books
which they thought should appeal to
the Jews. Perhaps if they collected
stories by good Jewish writer's which
would appeal to the Jewish people,
they would meet with success. In a
short time Prinzessin Sabbath reached
a second edition, which means that
Jewish people do read books in which
they are described, but these books
must appeal to them.
