FEAST OF WEEKS TODAY
SPECIAL SERVICES HELD IN
ALL SYNAGOGUES.
Twelve Boys and Girls Impressively
Confirmed at the Eighth
Street Temple.

Throughout the country today Hebrews
are observing the Feast of the Weeks
and telling their children of the time
when Moses went up on Mount Sinai and
received from the Most High the tablets
of stone giving the rules OF conduct for
the chosen people. In all the cynagogues
the worshipers today sent up songs of
praise to the King of Kings for the guar
dian hand He has thrown about them.
The services in the Eighth Street Tenn
pie were largely attended. They began
at $50 O'Clock, when the solemn OBJ
servance of the feast was held. This
was participated in by both abbis Stern
and Simon. Then, at 1915 o'clock. came
the confirmation service. when class
of twelve boys and girls took this sacred
rite.
They were David and Nathan Blum.
Hazel Bornheim, Ida Wolf. Minnie Well.
Pauline Cohen, Lolita Karpeles, Julia
Kohner, NJ. Eugene Powdermaker. Esther

At the opening the professional was

by her gentle and cheerful spirit. At the
celebration of Children's day yesterday
morning by the Sunday school she was
chosen as its Sunday school missionary
to the mountain whites. near Highlands.
n. c., where she and DR.. Thompson ex-
pect hereafter to make their home. A
pleasant feature of this reception was the
presentation. in compact and beautiful
speech by John NJ. Foster, one OF the
elders of the church. OF silver platter
containing over five hundred dollars IN
gold coins as a testimonial from the con-
gregation of its love for the pastor and
his devoted wife. Dr. Thompson, to whom
the gift was complete surprise, was
deeply moved. but his reply was none the
less graceful and complete, notwithstand-
ing the unexpectedness of the present.
The Sunday school house. in which the
reception was held, was beautifully deco
rated with a profusion of palms and cut
flowers, provided by the ladies of the Aid
Society. The church orchestra furnished
the music during the evening. and Mrs.
August T. Hanson gave several charming
and witty Rotations.
A successor to DIR. Thompson has not
yet been chosen, although a committee of
five persons. chosen by the congregation
to select one, subject to its ratification,
has several names under consideration.

In Good Form.
the Ohio State Journal

From the Ohio State Journal.
The etiquette editor of an exchange is
asked the question, rs there any polite
way of expediting the departure of a
caller who has not learned the art of
saying good-bye?" Surely. an inquirer
who can put the question so delicately
as that should not lack the ability to
promote the departure without seeming
to. But he is given no rule to go by.
and there is none that does not involve
a touch of rudeness, perhaps.
The only real answer is that the
hostess must not be SO entertaining and
interesting. This is the trouble in most
cases. She makes it so happy for the
caller that the latter stays and stays.
and is actually made to feel that. after
all, her presence Is highly appreciated.
OF course. the hostess Is too much of
a lady to seem otherwise. and her at
traction never loses anything, if candor
is made a part of 1T, which intelligence
will always discern and admire And
if the hostess has bread a-baking or a
call at the milliner's due at that hour.
and does not say SO. she discredits her
caller and puts a discount on her good
sense.

Storks Leaving Alsace.
From the London Globe.

FROM the l.huuou "toDf.
One of the objects of interest in Lu-
cerne is the storks' nest of the Water
Tower, but the curious visitor becomes
a sadder if wiser man when he learns the
nest Is dummy" Long ago the storks
forsook Lucerne. and now it appears that
Colmar in Alsace, is likely to suffer the
same way.
Twenty-Five years ago thirty-two
storks nests could be seen on the high
buildings of Colmar. This year there
are only five nests occupied. 1t may be
observed that the nucleus of the nest
is provided by the town in the form of a
kind of iron basket. The birds do their
own furnishing, which to begin with con-
sists Of dry leaves. but the storks are
collectors of curiosities. After the nests
have served their purpose they are clear
ed out. and then is found heterogeneous
collection--cloth caps. old stockings. but
tons handkerchiefs, etc. The explanation
of the birds forsaking the town is that
the marshes disappear before the builder.
and the storks draw their sustenance
from marsh lands. Soon the storks of
Alsace will be only memory.

Association of Georgetown, entered into
its final stages today before Justice STAFF

government and the defense finished the
presentation of evidence, and at 11:3O
o'clock Assistant District Attorney Proc
tor began the first of the concluding ar
guments to the jury.
Almost from the beginning of his review
of the case Mr.. Proctor severely hayed
the alleged methods pursued by J. Bar
ton Miller in conducting the affairs of the
building association. He declared that
the associations always was prosperous
until it came under the direction and
control of j. Barton Miller, and he
quoted from the last financial statement
prepared by Miller. which assumed to
show that the association had $4,000 in
assets and $4,000 surplus. land at this
very time Mr.. Proctor declared I'VE

How to Keep Cut Flowers.

From Gardening Illustrated.
Choose flowers that are not quite fully
out and cut them early In the morning
with long stems. Arrange them not too
close together in a.vase deep enough to
immense two-thirds of the stems By
previously putting some pieces of char
coal in the vase the water can be kept
sweet, but In any case 1t should be
changed every five or six days. Keep the
vase always full of water. Keep the
flowers in q cool but not draughty place.

scented Retiring Pastor at Re-
ception Held Friday.

Dr. w. Taliaferro Thompson. for over
nine years pastor of the lexington Pres
byterian Church Of this city. preached
his farewell sermon last evening. At its
close the members of the congregation
which has grown during his passionate
from about $50 to over $50. crowded
about him and fos half an hour he was
busy giving parting handshakes and
words of cheer and receiving the hearty
good wishes of his flock.
He stated in his sermon that he had
never loved q congregation as he does
the one he was forced to leave. and that
nothing but his inability to care for the
large and growing membership could have
induced him to surrender the charge;
and he commended the congregation for
its unity and brotherly kindness, and
predicted future of great influence and
usefulness.

A Plague of Ants.
From the London Globe.

from the LOnu0n GI0ue.
A singular state of things. and at the
same time serious, exists in the commune
of Gonfaron in Var. The fruit trees and
all other products of the garden and even
the fields bear an unmistakable odor of
iormic acid. The people are much con-
cerned lest their produce be rendered use
less. and application has been made to
the ministry Of finance for a grant of
10000 francs to rid the district OF the
pests. which 1t is scarcely necessary to say
consists of myriads of ants. The place
of origin Of these undesirable aliens is
Africa, and 1t is considered that they
have been brought over with bales of
cork.

PRAYERS of the Defense.

For the defense Justice Stafford grant
ed in the form in which it was written
the usual prayer that the presumption of
innocence clings to the defendant until
he is proved. beyond any reasonable
doubt, to be guilty.
In substance also the court granted the
prayers of the defense that 1.-The jury
may not find the defendant guilty unless
it is found that he actually converted to
his own uses the moneys of the associa-
ton enumerated in the indictment, and
that the mere absence of any explanation
Of the use to which the money was ap-
piled by him could not be found to be
embezzlement."
The court also agreed that the jury
should be instructed on behalf of the de-
Tense that in order to find Miller guilty
Of embezzlement of any Of the money de-
scribed in the Indictment the jury must
find from the evidence that he converted
it to his own use, and that it would not
suffice to find merely that the defendant
may have failed to account for other and
different moneys of the association named
in the indictment as having been received
by him.

Accuses Miller's Brother.

Mr.. Proctor accused G. Donald Miller,
brother of the defendant, of deliberate
Justification and Misrepresentation. And
he argued that Donald Miller's evidence
should therefore be entirely disregarGed.
The attorney cited a number of cases,
from the counts in the indictment, in
which he claimed the evidence showed
that j. Barton Miller had received diff
ferent specific amounts of money.
Mr. Proctor was in the midst of his
argument when the usual noon recess
was taken. He finished his review Of
the evidence shortly after o'clock.
OF the closing witnesses for the de-
tense. Martha krumke. stenographer for
the Miler-Shoemaker Real Estate Com
pany and stenographer for j. Barton
Miller. testified that she had often re-
ceived money for the building associa-
ton. and placed it in the cash drawer.
Paul B. Graham. r. A. Casilear. NJ. M.
Merrill AM A. n. Quigley stated they had
had checks cashed in the Office of the as
ISOLATION. the defense thus seeking to
establish it's claim that proper dispos-
ition was made by Miller of much of the
money which passed through his hands.

Defendant Does Not Testify

The defendant, J. Barton Miller did not
take the stand to testify in his own be-
half.
After the government concluded its re-
buttal evidence through the WITNESSES
w. A. Cunningham, Daniel johnson and
Jesse II. Wilson, jr., the defense present
ed only the defendants brother, &. DON
aid Miller, in sur-rebuttal. The latter
simply identified some of the entries in
the cash book of the building association.
made in June, 1908, as being in his hand
writing. With the conclusion of Donald
Millers testimony at 11:15 o'clock, the
defense announced the completion of its
case and a conference between the at
tornyS and Justice Stafford was held at
the bench, preceding the arguments con-
corning the prayers for instructions to be
given TO the jury.
1t was decided that each side should
have three hours for it's final arguments
to the jury, SO that the case VIII De
submitted to the jury probably by noon
tomorrow.
OF the prayer for instructions to the
jury the court granted the following for
the government:
THAT the jury may disregard entirely
the testimony of any witness who, they
believe, made fake statement as to any
material fact in the case.
THAT the jury should find the defend
ant guilty if they find that he at any
time a1ter January L, 1871, cohf leu ~
his own use any of the sums OF money
set out in the indictment
Hb-
That if the jury finds it was the de-
PENDANTS duty to keep accurate records
in the cash book of all moneys received
by the association, and that he willfully
failed to do so or fabricated said records,
it tends to prove that he did embezzle the
funds as charged.
That if the jury is satisfied from the
evidence that the defendant destroyed or
concealed any books or records of the
association, then it may assume in the
absence of explanation of such destruc-
ton or concealment. that the books con-
| tanned evidence of the defendants wrong
doing"
