RoME'S INFAMOUS PERIOD
Time When the Ancient clty's Illus.
trous Personages Were Nearly
All VIGOROUSLY Vicious.

1t is well-known that there Is In
Roman history period which, from
the reputation that 1t bears, may well
be called Infamous. This extends
from the death of Sulla to the death
of Nero, including the end of the Re.
public and the early years of the en-
pire. This period has very bad
reputation; not only was It full of
disorder, civil war, scandalous law
suits, but nearly all of it's most illus
trious personages were VIGOROUSLY
vicious, beginning with the most II.
lustrious of them all, julius Caesar.
All were deep In debt, drunkards,
gluttons, spendthrifts they were dis
solute. when not accused outright of
giving themselves up to the most de-
grading pollution. There is no in.
fanny that has not been attributed to
them. Only a very few have os-
capped from this universal censure;
and, with the exception of Pompey
and Agrippa, those who did escape
were of minor importance. The 9th,
ers were either odious in the extreme
or else depraved like Lucullus, Cras-
sus, Antony, Augustus, Maecenas, III
berius, Nero-to say nothing of the
women of the Claudian line. who,
when they were not prisoners out.
whom historians tell every kind OF
horror.-Guglielmo Ferrero in At

Wedding Music Wanted.

Has it ever occurred to young com
posers that the shortest road to fame
and fortune lies in writing good we'd
ding music? In no other department
of the art does the supply fall so la
mentally short OF the demand There
are hundreds of thousands of weddings
in America and Europe every year,
and at nearly all of them appropriate
music is wanted, yet there are barely
half a dozen that have been universal
ly accepted as suitable. In nine cases
out of ten the Mendelssohn wedding
march is played or the bridal chorus
from "Lohengrin," or both. Here are
two great models of what Is wanted;
music which is simple, tuneful senti-
mental, stirring, eXultant. The ex-
ultant strain Is missing in the Lob
engrin" bridal chorus, but it is all the
more conspicuous in the Introduction
to the third act, which expresses the
wedding festivities within, and which
should be played more frequently at
marriages.-Ne York Evening Post

slon--U. A. n. c.
Oden, Mlch.-Our summer colony at
Oden was visited some time ago by
Rabbi George Zepin of the synagog
Extension Department Through the
assistance of Mr. l. j. Friedlander, a
committee OF Ave was secured to take
charge of a Summer Congregation.
Messrs Ben Rice, Samuel Meyer, Her
bert Gettinger, M. Marcus and |. j.
Friedlander, chairman, constituted the
committee, which Immediately pro-
ceeded to obtain permission to meet
in the one church in town, and also
to organize choir.
Although we have only one church
in town. we are fortunate in having
two ministers summering here, Rabbi
David I.efkowtz of Dayton, OHIO, and
Rabbi Solomon l.. Kory of Vicksburg,
Miss Rabbi Kory took charge of the
first meeting. The absence of ade-
uuate lights in the house of worship
furnished the rabbi with the theme of
his discourse. AS a result Of his sug-
eestion, the Jewish colony has wired
the building and installed electric
lights as a mark of its appreciation
for use of the building.
Rabbi I.efkowitz held the services
last week and spoke very interestingly
Of his impressions of the recent
Chautauqua meeting in Detroit
Our services are most effectively as
sisted by an excellent volunteer choir
consisting of Miss Gene Mayer, n
cinnati; Miss Theresa Louis Rice, Gin
cInnatl, both of whom have also con-
tributed inspiring solo work; Mrs.
Sinsheimer, of Cincinnati; Mrs. Schart
of ST. Louis, chairman OF the choir
committee, and Mrs. Lefkowitz, and
IRIS. Kory.
The universal interest that this has
aroused among us is attested by the
fact that we have not yet held SER
vices with less than 175 in attendance.

Ball Team Reorganized

Jackson's baseball team has dis
banded. This decision was reached
last week. The last few games under
the old regime were frosts both in
the character of the play and attend
ance. so manager and players came
to the conclusion that the team s
usefulness as an attraction was at an
end, and dissolution was the result.
Jackson. however, will not be with
out team. Other local lovers of the
sport have consented to take hold of
the players-men of business ability
and grit. The ball team was i'm
mediately reorganized, and j. A. Pic
cardo elected to manage the new club.
He needs no praise for his enthusiasm
in all local enterprises that tend to
boost our city. His affable and bust
ness like methods are known by all
who have had the pleasure of meeting
him. He is usually selected as floor
director, when a notable ball is given,
and under his directions success is
always assured. He has built up a
host of friends, and good business
with his associate, George Vela
through fair business methods, ana we
feel safe IN saying he can give Jack
son such base ball as will be well
worth seeing for the remainder of the
season.
The old players will hold together to
a man, and that means Jackson will
have the strongest team in the foot
hills. Valley Springs and Sacramen-
to, two victorious teams, will be
played this season, and we are positive
the close of the season will be stronger
than the opening.
