Tacomans yesterday watched
the thermometer break the rec
ord for heat for this year. They
wondered when 1t was going to
stop and then, when 1t was dis
covered that the mercury was
only up to 80 with all its record
breaking they contemplated the
los temperature of the east with
complacency and smiled a broad
Puget Sound smile of satisfaction.
But 1t was hot for Tacoma.

Jewish Confirmation Services.

Divine services in honor of the great
Jewish feast of Shebuoth, or Pentecost,
were held at Biknr Cholim Synagogue last
evening, with Rabbi H. Rosenwasser, of
Baton Rouge, officiating, assisted by
Raphael Singer. A large congregation
was in attendance, and the services were
Of an unusually impressive and interesting
character. Rabbi RosenWasser delivered
an eloquent lecture On The Book of Ruth"
and vocal solos were exquisitely rendered
by Mrs. Walter Lemann and Miss Sophia
Mielke. The choir was composed of Miss
Essye Stern, organist Mrs Clerville Hi1nel,
Mrs. Walter Lemann, Miss Ora Dalferes
Miss Margaret BoWden. Miss Sophia
Mielke, Miss Marie Hemke, and Terrier
Blanchard.
This morning at $50 o'clock class of

with elaborate ceremonies in the presence
of a congregation which taxed the Syna-
gogue to its utmost capacity. The confirm
ants were Misses Helene Kahn, Rosina
Singer, Hilda Sternfels and Carrie Schuster.
and Master Samuel Klotz. A most at
tractive program was carried out in honor
of the notable occasion, and added solem-
nifty was lent to the beautiful services by
the superb musical selections rendered by
the choir, including solos by Misses Bow
den, Mielke and Dalferes, and MIR. Blan-
chard. A pleasant feature of the occasion
was the presentation of a handsome signet
ring to Rabbi Rosenwasser by the confirm
ants, the presentation being made by
Miss Rosina Singer in Well-worded and
happy little address. The surprised recip-
lent of the pretty token expressed his
gratitude and appreciation with character
istic gracefulness and eloquence, and the
incident ELECTED cordial expressions of con-
graduation and good wishes on the part of
therabbi to the confrmants and of the con-
frmants and congregation to their Jealous
spiritual preceptor.
