Celebration of First Festival Of
Education in History is to
Be Held by the Jews.

The Pesach or Passover. Jewish
religious period. will begin Monday
evening. 1t will be observed seven
days by the reform and eight days
by the orthodox congregations.
It Is the first festival of emanci-
patton in the history of civilization.
Its commemoration is based on the
Biblical narrative which tells how
the people of Israel enslaved in Egypt
were led from bondage to freedom
by the great leader Moses.
The Passover festival speaks for
the, sancity Of the home as we'll. as
for self-respect and liberty. The
Jews accordingly assemble In their
homes on this festival, and sIgnalize
1t by solemn service in which the
story Of the ancient struggle for
emancipation is recounted with pioIs
fervor. This seder, as 1t is called, is
unique in spirit and form. 1t is earn
est and yet happy, and its ritual,
though archaic, symbolizes the facts
of human experience in all conditions
of life. The roasted bone reminis-
cent OF the paschal lamb Of the first
Passover; the bitter. herbs calling to
mind the hard labor OF the Isra-
Ielitish slaves; the unleavened bread,
known as the bread OF afiiiction, y
symbolizing the hasty departure
from Egypt; the roasted egg, recall

TO BREAK Wild.
Is the Object of a Suit Brought
in the Circuit Court of
Ohio County.

WHEELING April 1.-THE fight
for millions Of Henry Schmulbach,
the late brewer, has been; begun in
the circuit court here, The action in
the case was brought by Miss Annie
Fellers "a young st. Mafy's girl, who
is second cousin of the deceased,
but 1t is said that back of the case
are a number of employees of the
late brewer who were disappointed
in the small bequests left them.
Schmulbach's estate is estimated
at between SIS. 100000 and. SlO,0O0.-
600 and the bulk Of 1t went to his
widow, former dressmaker, whom
he married short time before his
death. Former employees of the late
brewer claim that during his life they
had been told by Schmulbach that
they would be left large sums in his
will and they expect, 1t Is said, 10
bring forth previous will, made be-
fore Schmulbach's marriage. in
which they receive large beauests.
Attorneys John A. Howard and
James A. Ritz appear for Miss Eel
lers and Judge Frank w. Nesbitt and
Nelson Hubbard for the proponents.
The contestant alleges undue influ-
ences and mental incapacity. The
hearing is expected to continue at
least ten days. Schmulbach's last
will was dated about three months
before his death last August.

Reports Are Current That Bat
tie Has Been Fought with.
Villa Bands.
BUT LITTLE APPREHENSION.
Dodd's Men Can Fight Them
selves Out of Any Uncon-
Portable Position.

Ell PASo, Tex, April i1:-The
southwark rush Of the American cav
airy forces pursuing Francisco villa
has been so rapid that It has carried
Colonel Dodd and his troops far be-
yond all lines OF communication.
oficials Of the Carranza govern
today to gain information over Il
Mexican land lines In regard to the
advanced position Of the American
troops. No Official word Of the where
abouts OF the advance guard has been
received for days.
Army officers ut Fort Bliss believe
that when the expeditlonary com
manders get in touch with Major
General Funston they will report
that the American troops have en-
gagged the Villa forces in battle. Re.
ports that q battle has been fought
with villa bands south of Satevo
were current today. but there was
nothing to confirm these reports.
While the American cavalry Is
combing the country at the far end
OF the attentuated line OF communi-
cation, there was little apprehension
over their position, for II was felt at
Fort Bliss that Dodd's men could
fight themselves out Of any uncon-
Portable position.

FORT Bliss THINKS DODD
HAS ENGAGED VILLA FORCES
PEOPLE FLOCK TO
HEAR EVANGELIST
lat the St. Paul's Great ReMvaI
Meetings Tell How to
Stay Married.

A great congregation assembled nj
the st. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
church, South, last evening to hear
tile Rev. Mr.. Jackson deliver his ia
nous lecture on "How to Stay Mar
reid" After n short. but very inter-
esting. song service, the opening
prayer was led by the Rev. DR.. King,
pastor OF the First Methodist Episco-
pal church.
The people came in great droves
until every available space was filled
with chairs and the aisles were lined
with interested listeners and many
were turned away.
The Rev. Mr.. Jackson began in his
usual pleasant way to discuss one of
the greatest subjects which confronts
the American people today. He
spoke In part as follows:
"The home life has stood for
many generations MS Gods greatest
institution for character building.
Most Of US to this day could join in
spirit and truth John Howard
Payne's Home, Sweet Home: but
the old-fashioned home is being as
saulted today in all sorts Of new
fashioned manners. Zeppelins from
above. submarines from beneath and
n dangerous fleet all around US. n
we stay married right, II will be be-
cause we recognize the fact that the
home Is grounded In our deepcyt ma
ture. and is essential to all our high
est interests"
Then the preacher plunged into
his subject as one who had mos
sage and was impeiied by the high
est motives to deliver II. The. sub
ject, was discussed under the follow
ing divisions, namely: First. Married
Life is No ,Joke.'' Here the evangel-
list assailed the light way in which
some people entered this sacred re-
lation. Second. Married Life Is Not
heartless dolls who drift into this re-
lationship never find a happy married
life. Getting married is serious
business"
Third. Some Hindrances to a
Happy Home Life" Under this head
were discussed, fault finding" "in-
difference" and the "sacredness OF
personality"
Then Mr.. jackson closed with a
discussion OF Helps to Live the Hap
by Home Life" First, conform your
life to realities. It is better for
newly-married couple having money
to pay for but one chair to use that
one chair and sit the closer. hold
the tighter and the whole world will
grow the brighter. No woman can
love an old 'skinhint. Anybody can
love noble soul" Then the speak
er closed with an earnest appeal to
live the beautiful life. This does not
mean beautiful furnishings, but the
beautiful spirit In which we live out
these relations. II
Following the sermon the congre-
CATION was dismissed by the pastor,
but the way 1t fingered indicated that
an intense interest was being felt in
the service.
The great crowds which were
turned away last night indicates fur
ther the imperative need Of the new
church building the st. Paul's con-
gregation contemplate building, The
church has increased exactly one
hundred per cent in membership in
the last two and half years.
A meeting for women only ID to be
held at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
in the church. All women Of the city
are cordially invited.
