lovable by Miss Pickford that the
sympathies are gripped until one

HEBREW CHILDREN GIVE

The play given at Bnei Zion Insti-
tllte last night by the children of Bnei

first Of it's kind to ever be given in
this city. The play was spoken in
the original Hebrew, as it is spoken
today in Palestine, and is far different
from the popular Yiddish spoken
daily by the greater part of the Jew
ish race.
The play was given in comm en- ora
tion Of Hannukah, the Jewish feast
of the independence, and portrayed
the conditions and battle between the
Syrians and Judeans which took
place hundreds of years ago on the
battlefield just fought over by the
British in their recent battle with the
Turks and the capture of the Holy
Land.
There were fourteen scholars in the
play, the principal characters being
portrayed by Miss Esther Levine and
Max Scott. Miss Levine portrayed tire
character of king Mainondies" The
coaching for the play was done by
Principal Kruma and Assistant Prin-
cipal Lyons. and showed the great
amount of time and patience required
to stage a play OF this kind Music
was furnished by the Y. NJ. FL. A. or

owned by William Helies, took fire,
and the local department responded
and put out the blaze in short order.
But later they were again called to the
scene, when the fire broke out anew,
and this time the hotel was razed. and
utterly destroyed. "A part of the loss
h covered by insurance.
When the first alarm was sounded
the Lincoln Hose Company responded
and later general alarm was sent
in, which brought out all of the ap-
paratus. The blaze was plainly WIS.,
ible for some distance around and at
tracted a large crowd to the scene, de-
spite the cold. The damage is esti-
mated at several Thousand dollars
At the first alarm it was believed
that the fire was entirely extinguished
and the companies retired to their
houses, only to be called out a short
time after when the blaze broke out
anew in several places and in a short
time destroyed the frame building.
The owner and several guests made
their way ont of the hotel without
