was presented last night at the Rushyille
Opera House, and the show proved to
be the best Western drama ever played
here.
Miss Daisy Hazleton, who Is starring
in the part Of Scissors, gave beauti-
full and picturesque creation OF true
Western girl. The lights and shades Of
the untutored girl were handled with
great care, and her devotion to her
weak minded father received much mer-
tied applause.
Miss Lillian Douglas, who plays the
part OF Helen Denver, the school marin,
gave strong dramatic portrayal OF her
part Her scenes with the Mexican,
her divorced husband, were particularly
strong, and worked the audience to
high pitch Of excitement.
Mr.. William Leroy, who plays the
part OF George Washington Augusta
Nibbs, is certainly the best black face
comedian that has appeared here for
many years.

to say the supporting company

THE NEW HEBREW SCHOOL.

THE NEW HEBREW SS7OOG'
Z Congregation Adath Yeshurun did
the right thing. The study is conduc-
tive to a study of our literoture and
customs and observances. Not only
the orthodox to whom Hebrew is in
dispensible as the language of prayer,
but also the reform Jew should read
The sources of our faith in the orig
mal We do not detract from the
original value of private tuition when
we say that an organized public school
system is necessity in a community
as ours, because there are always
children who require separate care,
but when a city has developed as has
Houston, it is time that organization
take the place of haphazard unmeth-
odcal and often misleading teachings
The old Chedar, with it's disorder,
past even in old Russia, and should
never have been tolerated in America.
1t stands to reason that with modern,
time.saving methods much better
work can be done in much less time
than was formerly possible. Start a
child to Hebrew school when it is
seven years old, have a good curri-
culum, good modern teachers, and
good modern appliances, and by the
time the boy is Bar Mitswah he
should know his Bible, and read He
brew without vowelpoints tluently,
and be fully familiar not only with all
Jewish observances, but also with the
why's and wherefores.
1t now devolves on Houston Jewry
to make the school a success. Every
Jew should contribute to the utmost
of his ability toward the equipment
and maintenance of the school, this is
at this NON ent the most necessary
call, and we may rely on our co-relig-
ionsts to do the right thing by the
new Hebrew school. Again we con.

credit that he worked his way through
Yale after having the misfortune OF
losing his father while mere child.
He was born in New York City, Jan

received his education in the public

Sam Katbenstein, of Alliance, never
comes to Cleveland without new
story.
Two years ago on Rosh Hashonah,
the orthodox Jews of Alliance OBJ
served the Tashlich ceremony on the
river bank. 1t happened to be a sea-
son of great scarcity of rain. The
earth was parched, the grass was dry
and the crops suffered.
"The Jews are praying for rain,
said the natives, as they noticed them
on the river bank casting bread
crumbs into the water.
And the next day, and the day after
and the day after that it rained hard
and everybody rejoiced and credited
the Jews with opening the noodgates
of heaven.
because of lack of rain. Churches had
special water meetings, but Mr.. Rain
god positively refused to accommodate.
Some two weeks ago the local paper
of Alliance contained an article recall
ing the miracle of two years ago, when
the Jews prayed for rain and their
prayers were answered. at was no.
ticed at that time" said the article,
"of the number assembled was a Jew
ish rabbi and the prayers were so I'M
usual as to attract notice. But the
prayers ayailed and the rains came
and the parched earth was revived.
Why not again send the petitions for
rain, for the drouth is with u.s."
Next day an influential citizen
stopped in Katzensten's store.
Sam" said he, "why don't you
Jews pray for rain again as you did
two years ago? viii you do it?"
Sure" said Katzenstein, anything
to oblige."
And the next day it rained.
The drouth In Alliance and vicinity
is a thing of the past and the Jews
are again given credit for it,--Jewish
Independent.
