PASSOVER RITES

Hebrews will celebrate this week
the feast of the Passover, the ancient
festival concentrating the exodus
from Egypt. In ancient Jewish life it
was the first of the three pilgrim fes-
rivals upon which every male Jew was
expected to come to the central sane
tuary at Jerusalem. 1t is the great
independence day of the race COM
memorating an event which became
fundamental in Hebrew thinking.
The festival is ushered in by a
family service, called the Seder, at
which certain symbolic ceremonials
are observed. Each participant is
privileged to sit at the table and is
required to drink four cups of wine
in memory to the four promises made
by Jehovah to redeem Israel from
bondage. On the table are the un-
leavened cakes the shin bone of a
lamb, roasted on the Goals and SYM
bolic Of the Paschal sacrifice. roast
ed egg. mixture of apples and nuts
to symbolic the mortar Of the Egyp-
tians, and the bitter herbs, reminis-
cent of the unhappy life in Egypt.
The service is interrupted by the
family dinner and closes with folk
songs. During the festival unleavened
bread is eaten and in all orthodox
households great care is taken that
all traces of leaven be removed be-
fore the beginning of the festival.

NO REDUCTION
IN ICE PRICES
To SMALL TRADE
Flat Rate of Is Cents a Hundred
Affects Only Those Taking
Ton or More a Day

Marketmen and other large con-
sumers of ice are beneftting by a
fiat rate of 10 cents a hundred
pounds recently instituted by the To-
cal ice companies; but this price will
not supply to household trade, ac-
cording to the unanimous statement
of the men at the head of the Ice
firms. To the small trade, the price
will remain about the same as last
summer.
cit isn't the cost of the ice that
makes the difference in the house
hold trade,' explained Earl %.
Sprague, manager of the Sprague Ice
and Coal company; its the cost OF
delivering it that counts,-the teams
a hundred applies only to the large
consumers who take ton or more
a day."
An official of the Naugatuck Val
ley Ice company explained to The
Farmer that the prices for the large
one to eight tons daily, have hitherto
been Is, II and one half, and 20
cents a hundred, the price varying
inversely with the quantity taken
In order to avoid complaint of un-
fairness, the companies have made it
a fiat rate of Is cents on all who
take as much as ton per day.
I'VE would like to reduce the price
of ice as much as possible to the
general public" said The Farmer :
informant "and we are keeping it
as low as we possibly can, to leave a
small margin of profit for us. There
is no danger of a raise in price this
summer, as all the companies have
plenty on hand.
There is a great commotion every
year about the ice business in this
city, and as a matter of fact it is
the least important of the necessities
of life, in its total cost for a year. ]
don't believe that all the companies
put together sell ice to the amount
of $4,000 a year in Bridgeport,
whereas, butter and eggs would come
to more than a million-probably
considerably more. Yet everyone
seems to take great delight in COM
ing down on the ice man, for no rea-

PARK THEATRE
MARGARET ANGLIN
IN HER NEW PLAY

Messrs. Liebler & Co. will introduce
the popular favorite, Margaret Anglin,
at the Park Theatre, Wednesday, April
IL. in a new comedy, entitled Green
stockings, written by A. E. w. Ma
son and George Fleming. Happily,
Miss Anglin is announced as having
completely recovered from her recent
severe and alarming illness. Her
voice. while at one time threatened
With partial disablement is now COM
pletely restored, and altogether the
distinguished actress is reported to be
as we'll as ever.
1t will be remembered that when she
was here last season, Miss Anglin for
mally announced that the next play
she would appear in would be a COM
edy. and 'Green Stockings" was the
medium chosen by Messrs. Liebler &
Co. as the first one in which she would
appear under their direction. Here
tofore, it has been customary to as
sociate Margaret Anglin with fearful
and emotional roles, but, holding to
the opinion that an actress should be
qualified to play comedy roles equally
as well as tragic, she exercises her
right and desire now to present her
art in its lighter and brighter side.
Green Stockings seems to offer to
her special opportunity for her initial
venture as a. Coincidence, since its fun

"deavor of a high-spirited and witty
girl to emancipate herself from the

trail figure in the comedy. Miss Ang-
Inns role Is stated to afford her all
the opportunity needed to demonstrate
her quality. The play is in four acts
and the scenes are laid at Lumley
Park, in England, where William Far
aday, Esq, a widower, has brought up
his family Of four daughters, two Of
whom are already married, one is
about to become engaged, while the
fourth, Celia, Miss Anglin's part, yet
remains a spinster. In the acts that
ensue, Celia finds herself face to face

witty and the story delicately treated,
affording a delightful entertainment
and a good deal Of fun.
Assisting Miss Anglin in the repre-
sentation of the comedy is a capable
company which includes Fl. Reeves
Smith. George Woodward, Maude
Granger, Ruth Rose. Ruth Holt Bouci-
cault, and several others. Miss Ang-
lin, whose appearance here last season
in THE Awakening of Helena Richie
left such a delightful memory, may be
sure of a warm welcome on her re-
turn. Her engagement is limited to
one night.

the early days of monument construction
from states. foreign governments. So
cieties and individuals. They even tried
to chip pieces out Of the wall Of the
monument itself. The destructive tend
encies Of the collector Of tri1es have been
also shown In the damage done to the
bronze doors at the Capitol. Even George
Washington's great toe has not been
immune. AT Mount Vernon and at Christ
Church. in Alexandria, souvenirs OF the
home and place Of worship of the first
President have been. taken without the
least consideration for their significance,
and with ruthless disregard for the prop
erty rights Of others.
In most of such cases, however. the
motive has been that of the collector,
whose desire is to get something that he
can show afterward as evidence OF his
travels or his malevolent enterprise. The
destruction Of painting is inspired by
quite a different thought. The man who
cut a strip from the Battle OF Lake
Erie" was simply intent upon running it
SO that IT would be no longer an attrac-
ton. This is the meanest Of all forms Of
vandalism and deserves the severest
punishment.

The DISPOSAL of the Maine.

The best possible decision has been
reached as regards the disposal OF the
hulk of the battieship Maine. 1t would
have been outrageous to sell the ship for
exhibition purposes. and yet such prop
osition was seriously advanced and was
even advocated on the floor OF the House
of REPRESENTATIVES when the urgent de-
acsency bill was under consideration.
Had that measure carried any sort Of
authorization for such an act of vandal-
ism IL would have been denounced from
one end of the country to the other. 1t
would have been monstrous for the
United States to go into the show busi-
ness. or to allow others to do SO. with

identified in the minds Of the American
people with an unspeakable act OF treach-
cry and a shocking disaster. AT the same
