A few minutes before the gangplank

see the skipper or the purser, or some
one who could give him a lob.
He had picked the most inopportunc

Death Comes
To Sllonlus in
Vigil at Bier
Manner Who Puts Shroud on
Albert Rosenblatt Found
Stretched Lifeless ON Body
in Attitude of Prayer
Victim of Heart Disease
Pickering Candles He Light
ed Reveal Stricken Man to
Friend Sent to Relieve Him

Albert Rosenhlatt is dead, and the
.honus who came to shroud the body is
a,.d also. They will be buried to-day
IN Washington Cemetery.
Mr.. Rosenblatt died at 9 o'clock yes
.srday morning. He was seventy five
YEARS old. There was no illness upon
htm. The period of his years was ac-
.omplished.
The house at S59 East Eighth Street
in which he died was in mourning. His
,slatives came and cried and the women
vailed and beat their breasts. The
Undertaking establishment of Hirsch
Schwartz was notified, for he was to
be buried before the close of another
dsy, according to custom.
Shomus Called to Vigil
Thus it came to pass that Mr.. Schwartz
called 8 shomus, Abraham Berger,
man of sixty years, and one who
bore them as if they rested easily on
his shoulders. He said to this shomus:
Albert Rosenblatt is dead. Go and do
for him those things which remain to
be done, and | will relieve you at sun
down.
So Abraham Berger went to the
house of death and laid the body in it's
shroud and sat down to read those
passages which are most suitable. The
Iirht of day waned. Evening came and
Berger lit candles. He was alone with
the dead.
1t was about this time that Mr..
Schwartz bethought himself of the
shomus, Berger, and he summoned an
other shomus, one Moses Greber, of 81
Sheriff Street, and he said to him:
"Albert Rosenblatt is dead. The sho-
mus Berger is with him. Go and tell
the shomus Berger that his task is done
and that you have come to relieve him.
The shomus Greber did as he was bid
BE entered the house and came into
the room where death was. Candles
we're burning beside the dead man, and
by their fickering light the shomus
saw the one whom he had been sent to
relieve. This one had cast himself across
the body of the dead man and appeared
to be absorbed in prayer. Therefore
the shomus Greber said nothing and
waited.
Death Discovered With Death
He waited for some time. Still the
shomus Berger did not move. Greber
tip-toed to his side and touched him on
the shoulder. The shomus Berger gave
no answering sign. Greber shook him
and he sank to the floor.
The police of the East Fifth Street
station were notified. They in
turn acquainted the medical exam
lner of what had happened. The
shomus Berger was dead. He is be-
lleved to have died of heart disease.
When his wife came from $3.50 East
Houston Street she collapsed. ~
{. The body of the shomus was re-
Moved to his own home. And there,
too, last night, were to be heard
sounds Of lamentation.
The shomus Greber sat himself down
in the place of the one whom he had
relieved and proceeded to read those
passages which are most suitable.

AT THE PARTHENON

Hone Hampton one of the leveliest
wemcn acting for the screen. has new
or made a happier choice of roles than
that of Janis Clayton in Loves Pom
atty which opened yesterday at the
FaFthenen theatre. II gives her OPP
portun!ty for every emotion from the
sunnlest sort of happiness to the very
deepest depths of hatred; and never
have we seen dramatic role more
splendidIy done.
With Miss Hampton as star the pi o.
duction ranks as one of the most en-
PERTAINING Of the present year. The
story is an especially dramatic one.
but it is doubtful II anyone lacking
the hlstrionic ability of Miss Hamp-
ton could have made II give the su-
preme entertainment which IL offers
with this wlnsome girls personality
pervadins every scene.
Janis Clayton loses her younger sis

en- heart as consequence and Janis
lie alone in the world. borne down by
the weight of sadness. and swears to
make Saunders suffer some Of the ag-
ony her mother and sister have endur-
cd The revenge she plans is one
that will strip him of everything he
holds dear-his social position. his
sanctimonious reputation. >and the love
OF his wife and son--but 1t will also
moan ruin for Janis The tenmness
OF the situation when the opportunity
arrives for the elimination of her plot

motion picture production. But fate
intervenes and demands the penalty
due her for his transeres and ia
mis- is saved her sacrifice Later she
comes into the happiness of the true
love she has forsaken for revenge
