HEBREWS TO DESERVE PuRlM
Feast of Lots Next Sunday viii Gel
citrate Victory of Aordecai.

Purim, tthe feast Of lots, haif-hol
iday in the Jewish calendar, win be
celebrated next Sunday. The syna
eogal service for this festival is lin
tied 10 the reading Of the Book Of
Esther, upon the story of which the
celebration IS based.
Purim celebrates the victory oil
Mordecla, the faithful jew over Ha
man, the grand vizier Of the Kins
Ahasuerus, who plotted to destroy
the jew. Queen Esther, it viii be
remembered, had been elevated to
the throne to succeed Vashi who
had dfspleased the king. Esther was
a most beautiful and virtuous maiden
and il was through her Intervention
with the king that the herosm Of
Mordecai ana the villainy Of ii&nan
was disclosed 10 him.
The story of the Book of Esther
reads like a novel and may or may
not have real historical value. Pur
i'm means tlots7 and the festival Is
called because the day on which the
destruction Of the Jews was deereod
was chosen by lot.
Purim is time Of general festhi
ty among the Jews, and Ike mos
festivals Of the Jewish calendar 4
is time for the giving OF gifts &c
the poor.

THE LOBSTER INDUSTRY.
Opposition to Proposed Change in The
Law.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 16-Strenuous opposi-
ton to any change in the Maine lobster
law has developed. This became mani
tested this afternoon when a party of
leading lobster dealers of Maine arrived
at the State House by auto from Rock
land. There were six Rockland men and
one Portland man, W. S. Trefethen, in
the party. According to their attitude
in the matter they say that a change in
the law that would make nine-inch
lobster legal would threaten the indus
try of the State. They admit it would
help the business for two years or So,
but they are looking beyond that. They
are looking to the future. and they
maintain that two years catch of
nine-inch Holsters would deplete the
supply so greatly that Name could never
regain its prestige. Not only that, but
they oppose any close time for any ex-
tended period. They declare that a
small army of fishermen would be de-
prived of their means of livelihood, and
they point to reports which show that
$4,000 people of Maine are dependent
for their existence on the lobster catch
ing industry. Should any measure to
change the present lobster law be pre-
scented, then there will be a powerful
