Three Horses Burned

On Friday of last week the small
barn of Thomas Bullock, on west Gar
field avenue, was burned, and three
horses aud a dog met death in the
flames. Mr.. Bullock is a colored man,
and used his teams hauling rubbish for
the city. Friday noon he put his
horses in the barn and went into the
house for dinner. Shortly afterward a
colored boy gave the alarm, but &c quick
Iy did the flames spread that the horses
were not gotten out. Bullock gave
chase to the boy and charged him with
setting the barn on fire. The boy is a
stranger here, and had come down a
few days ago to visit his uncle, Henry
Wright. The boy vas placed under
arrest, but has since been released
The loss falls heavily upon Bullock,
who is an industrious man. One white
man has extended aid to him in the
shape Of $40 cash and materials to
build a new stable, and suggests that
any one wanting to assist leave con.
tributions at the JOURNAL Office.

Raid ON AHgleSea and
Wildwood Saloons

Federal Prohibition officers of the
law suddenly appeared in Wildwood
on Friday, September Sd, 1920, and
raided several saloons. They took
charge of liquor found at the Inlet
hotel, Hotel Royal, Bishops cafe and
Hotel Germantown at Anglesea. The
Hotel Ruric in Wildwood was search
ed, but it is said no liquor was found.
1t was reported that the confiscated
liquor was stored in the Wildwood
post office, but Postmaster George n.
Smith states that such was not the
case, that it was stored In the Wild
wood city hall. No arrests were made,
1t is said that somebody tipped the
hotels off early in the morning, but
some of the hotels took 1t as a joke
The Philadelphia reporters were right
on the job and one of them phoued
the story up from Seidel's barber shop.

Closing Concerts at the
Wildwood Casino

Last Sunday night q double bill was
presented at the Casino Auditorium,
when the local favorites, Kathryn Nc
Ginley and Alice Hendee were fea-
tured as soloists. The first number
san by the former was an aria from
the opera Of Carmen by Bizet. This
was rendered admirably and in response
TO vigorous calls for an encore Miss
Mckinley aroused intense enthusiasm
by singing that famous strain from the
bohemian Grip ~ dreamt thai L
dwelt in Marble Halls" By special
request Miss Hendee played as her
first piano solo the Concerto IN A.
Minor, by Grieg, with orchestra ccom
paniment. This is a difficult compost
ton to render, but Miss Hendee came
off with flying colors. Her fingers
fairly flew over the keys, and the rap
turous plaudits that followed the finish
attested more than words can do to the
degree Of skill and perfection to which
she has attained in her art.
Last night another double concert
bill was offered, the soioists being Mile.
Marie Galezows and Miss Grace
Wade, both soprano singers. The hrst
named performer sang a medley OF
French songs, including the inspiring
"Marseillaise." The latter sang "The
Summer" by Chaminade, followed by
several other popular renditions, In.
Guiding the quaint Scottish air"Comln'
Through the Rye"
The farewell concert Of the season Of
1920 will be given next Sunday night,
September 18th. A specialmusical has
been prepared by the leader OF the
orchestra, Walter Pfeiffer, in which a
number OF his players feature as
soIoists. Earl Waldo Marshall MAR
ziali) the we'll known and popular
tenor will be with US again to aid IN
making this closing concert a rousing
one. The community singing, which
is to be q prominent part of the enter
tainment, will be under direction OF
Rev. 1. H. Fisher, pastor of the Baptist
church. 1t is to be hoped that all
Wildwood will turn out to make this
final concert a crowning success. There
will be no admission fee.

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-10-01
The Jewish Element in German
Literature
By Jacob Mestel.
Copyright, 1920, by l. ]. P. b.

Yiddish poet, who has recently arriv-
ed in the United States. He is a native
of Austria, and has served as First
Lieutenant in the Austrian Army dur
ing the World War. This is one of a
series of articles which should be Of
interest to our readers, as they are
written by a thorough scholar who
has established reputation both as
an artist and critic.-The Editor
do not propose to present on these
pages story Of the development of
aesthetics in literature. To do so
would require work of great magni-
tude. merely desire to call the at
tention Of the American reader to a
well-known fact, at least sufficiently
well-known in Germany and to the
German reading public, that the Jews
in German literature as well as in the
other branches Of aesthetics and art,
form some sort of group of their own,
a Jewish branch or division which
bears a proportion to the rest Of Ger
man literature, not unlike a fresh
source or branch to a well-filled river.
And even though the branch or tribu-
tary of the river mingles with the
general body of the water in which
and of which it forms a part, it yet
retains its natural color and does not
lose its identity for even an instant.
To be sure, such admixture cannot
possibly result in total submersion
and there remains, what the critics
Of German literature are prone to cal
the Semitic by-taste," term applied
not only to that branch Of literature
which depicts Jewish life and customs,
but to any and all works written by
Jews.
OF course, we are fully aware of the
facts that insofar as real art is con-
cerned, it will always be the artist
rather than his subject which will de-
termine the character of the work.
Should Rabindranath Tagore depict a
Polish rebellion or Carl Hauptmann a
Japanese dance-girl, it will be the per-
sonality Of the author that will cause
the former to have a Hindu and the
latter q German character. After all
is said and done, it is the creative
power Of the artist and his own per-
sonality that impress his work with its
peculiar character. And since we are
unconsciously and irrespective Of our
own desires, products Of our environ
ment, the work of Jewish masters Of
the German literature will always con-
tinue to have what we have just stat
ed as being the term applied by Ger
man literary critics,-the Semitic
by-taste."
It goes without saying that many
are the themes taken up by the Ger
man-Jewish authors in recent years,
quite irrespective Of the fact that a
great number Of them, like Wasser-
man, Kraus and others draw their in
spiration from general German en-
vironment, or a still greater number
have undertaken to depict only condi-
tons of the nearest and best known
environment and to make their work
a strictly "local" affair. We thus see
Schnitzler draw his principal charac-
ters in "Reigen," "Anatol," and even
in "Der Junge Medardus" from his
