DIR. PARKHURsT 74 TO-DAY

Dr. Charles Henry Parkhurst is a powerful preacher. an able writer and the possessor of a wide range of learn-i ing and lore, and his reputation has girdled the globe, but it is as a phy- sical phenomenon that the eminent New York clergyman is most marvel ous. He stands today at the threshold of his seventy-ffth year, having been born on April IT, 1642, in Framing ham, Mass. ,and yet he has not sacri- feed to the demands of hungry Daddy Time one whit of his pulpit nor lost a, fraction of his punch with the pen.
 In describing pr. Parkhurst as a physical phenomenon, it is not to be inferred by those who have not seen him that he is a, Jess Willard. On the contrary, and judging from Ger ceitfu1 outward appearances, the most strenuous of American c1ergymen. is and has always been a physical wreck, who should have died of tuberculosis and a complication of other diseases about so years ago. For years he has been generating about a hundred horsepower with a physical engine that looks to have a capacity measur- ed in mouse power. He is little, sawed of, thin, frail, sa1Iow man, and by rights he ought to be afflicted with a hacking cough and spend his time in a chimney corner bundled up in blankets, talking of his symptoms. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Reverend Doctor does nothing of the sort. Although he looks like 9. dried up college professor. he talks like a per-Roosevelt. He has few of the arts of the orator. He is no Beecher nor Ingerso1l, to play upon the human emotions and make his hearers laugh or weep at will, but his booming voice carries conviction. Every human problem interests him, and he ex- presses his convictions in pulpit and press in a. style that is clear and usually convincing.
 The famous minister got his start in life on a Massachusetts farm, and later worked in a Clinton dry goods store at a wage of $500 per week. Commerce didn't appeal to him and. with the aid of his brother, he enter ed Amherst College, from which he received his A. B. just half a, century ago. After several years as principal of Amherst High school he went to Germany and studied theology and was ordained to the Presbyterian min istfy in 1872. His first pulpit was in Lenox. Mass, but in 1880 he was called to the Madison Square Presby- terian church in New York. He first attained wide prominence quarter of century ago by taking the lead in the reform movement which result ed in the famous police investigation

HEBREWS
 CELEBRATE PASSOVER

Hebrews of this city, as in all parts
 of the world. will begin at sunset this evening the observance of the Jewish the deliverance of the Jews from
 Egyptian bondage. During the week of the festival of Pesach the Jews
 will abstain from leavened bread, and
 matzothS will take it's place. While the Passover celebration does not be- gin until sundoWn, today is Frey Pesach, or the Five of the Passover
 when it is duty of all first born male Jews above the age of IS to fast, in remembrance of the fact that when
 Jehovah slew all the first born of Egypt he spared the children of the
 Israe1ites. This Fast of the First
 Born is still strictly observed by orthodox Jews, although often disre- garded by the more liberal adherents
 of the faith of Judaism.
 The Russian Jews in this country. as well as in their native land, leave their front doors open during Pass- over While it is often explained that this is done to admit the prophet
 Elijah. it has another significance.
 The Russian peasants have hoary superstition that Jews celebrate Pass over by killing Christian children and using their blood in the preparation of Matzoths. It was to combat this insane idea that the Russian Jews in
 augurated the practice of keeping open house during the Feast of Un- leavened Bread, in order that all
 might see what passed within their homes The custom is still observed by many American Jews whof came from Russia Austria or Hungary,
 where the spirit of anti-Semitism is
 strong and unreasoning.
 The Scriptural basis of the Feast of
 Unleavened Bread is found in the fol- lowing passage from Exodus:
 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to ye and to thy sons forever And it shall come to pass
 when your children shall say unto ye, what mean ye by this service, that ye shall say, it is the sacrifice of the Lords passover, who passed over the houses of the children sNof Israel in
 Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delfvereh our houses"
 The feast will be inaugurated to- night by the serving of a ceremonial meal known as the Sedar, following the synagogue services In addition 1 to the matzoths or unleavened bread, ed shank bone of a lamb, commemor- ative of the sacrifice of the Pascal lamb, and bitter herbs, which serve as reminder of the bitterness of the lot of the Jews in Egyptian bondage. This years observance. coming at a
 time when war has plunged vast nun bers of European Jews into the depths
 of misery and privation, has been l characterized by many appeals to the charitable instincts of the Hebrews on this side of the Atlantic. They are asked to share their good fortune with their stricken brethren of Europe and Palestine

THE GAY GRAND DUCHESS

Clad in the plain costume of a nurs- ing sister, the Grand Duchess Marie
 of Russia, divorced wife of Prince
 Wilhelm of Sweden and first cousin of
 the Car, is now atoning for the frivol- ities which marked her career in Pet rograd, Stockh o1rns Paris and Monte
 Carlo. The loveliest of European princesses as, she has been called and not without excellent reason, will be 26 years old tomorrow, having been
 born on April IS, 1890. She is the daughter of the Grand Duke Paul,
 cess Alexandra of Greece. She died in 1891, leaving a son, the Grand Duke Dimitri, who has been mention ed as a possible successor of Szar Nicholas IT.. and daughter, the
 beautiful Marie. King Constantine of
 Greece is the uncle of Marie, as her mother was his sister. Grand Duke
 Paul was driven from the court by the Car and Czarina soon after the death of his wife, because of his pub lie attentions to the wife of an army officer, and settled in Paris, Where
 he contracted a morgantic marriage with Olga VaIerianovna, now the Countess FIohenfelsen. Grand Duchess
 Marie and her brother were placed in charge of the Czarina's sister, the Grand Duchess Sergius, and the girl was strictly reared. Her marriage to Prince We1helrn, the second son of
 King Gustaf of Sweden. was designed to improve the relations between the
 Russian and Swedish governme eElts, but it did not have that effect. Freed from the restraints imposed by her aunt pretty Marie plunged deeply into all the dissipations of the most
 fashionable society. About year af- ter her marriage, which took place in 1908, she gave birth to 8 son, Prince Jennar+ After that she led such a gay life in Paris and Monte Carlo that the Swedish people were outraged, and in 1914 her husband divorced her. The Russian imperial family cast her off, but her devoted work as nurse 1 in Russian military hospitals has re- stored her to the good graces of the Czar and Czarina.
