(1750-184S).
In Hanover 150 years ago there was born
into the Herschel family a little girl named
Caroline. The youngest of many children,

flock, often whipped her If she did not wait
deftly upon him at table; but William, the '
second brother, always protected her and I
was her good comrade whenever she could J
be spared from her duties as scullerymaio. I
Isaac Herschel, Caroline's father, was '
bandmaster of the Royal Regiment of
Hanover, a musician of considerable abil- j
lty, -who carefully educated his sons and
would have extended the same privilege
to his daughter had he not been so bitterly-
opposed In this by his wife. Frau
Herschel adhered with even more than tho
t .
Caroline Herschel.
usual Teutonic tenacity to the theory that
a girl should have no more education than
would enable her to become a competent
family drudge who could minister to the
men of the household. In Caroline's me
moirs she speaks of knitting her first
stocking eo long that as she stood up to
finish It it Just touched the floor. Knitting,
string plaiting, bugle stringing were her
accomplishments, drudgery her profession.
Her reading, writing, the rudiments of
music, and an occasional lesson on the
violin, she learned from her father when
her mother was away or in an unusually
good humor. The fact that Caroline Her;
echel gained what little education she pos
sessed under such discouraging circum
stances, oftentimes when worn out with
her duties as a Cinderella of the family,
shows that she must have possessed a
naturally good mind and great versatility,
as well as great perpcverance.
England was, at th'a time, under the
rule of the Hanoverian Kings, and the
Herschel boys Journeyed thither as mem
bers of the band of which their father
was master. These professional visits
ended In William Herschel's establishing
himself as organist and music master at
Bath. This was a severe blow to the
little Caroline, who found the tedium of
household duties almost insufferable with
out the companionship of her Idol and
hero, whom she frankly called her "dear
est brother." Upon his return Ave years
later, Caroline was in a tremor of antici
pation and more than ever begrudged the
daily routine which deprived her of so
much of this v'slt.
Shortly after William's return to Bath,
where he followed the trade of musician
merely to obtain the moans of studying his
beloved astronomy, his father died, leav
ing the family In greatlv straitened cir
cumstances. For the next five years moth
er and daughter slaved to keep the oldest
brother, Jacob, In his former luxury- Then
William bethought himself to secure the
valuable services of hib younger sister,
and sent for her to Join him in England.
Her training in Germany formed an ex
cellent basis for her self-effacement in
England. Here the work was quite as
heavy, but varied by scientific tasks in
which she proved an apt apprentice. Tin
apprenticeship was sweetened by her
brother's approbation and the increasing
consciousness that she could give him
more Invaluable help than any one else
in the world.
At William's bidding she first took up
music, developing a remarkable talent for
singing whfch would have Justified her
career as a prima donna had she not. at
her greatest proficiency, been obliged to
stifle all longings for individuality nnd
identify herself still more intimately with
&&
Sir William Herschel.
her. brother's specialty. When not em
ployed In seconding his inventions or in
defatlgably polishing the mirrors for his
great telcecopes. she copied the scores
of "The Messiah" and "Judas Maccabeus"
into parts for an orchestra of nearly 108
pieces drilled the singers for the Lenten
oratorios In which she was the soloist,
and sang frequently in concert. She was
invited to take part Jn the Birmingham
festival, but declined to sing publicly
where her brother was not the conductor.
Her last public appearance was in 17S2,
in an anthom composed by William. Her
schel. She combined music with house
keeping and science solely that she might
eke out her brother's earnings and lift him
out of the bread-winning stage Into the
realm of pure science It was, therefore,
a keen disappointment to her to lay aside
her one accomplishment In order to con
centrate her power upon mature scientific
work.
It is a noteworthy fact that the Her
schels arrived at science by the road of
music: for the kindred exactness in the
two branches appealed to their mental pre
cision. William Herechel's fame as a musician
and composer was soon exchanged for
that of astronomical discoverer and in
ventor. His wonderful 40-foot telescope,
the discovery of the planet Georglum
Sldus, In 1781, and of a volcanic mountain
in the moon in 1783, made h'.m the lead
ing authority In Europe and caused hia ap
pointment as astronomer royal In 17S3.
The modest salary of 300 allowed him by
George III was much less than he had
earned from his 40 weekly music lessons
and. position as organist, but he welcomed
the change, for he gained in uninterrupted
time what he lost in money.
The brother and sister now removed to
Datchet. and there their life was even
busier than before. In recognition of his
sister's devotion, William Herschel now
delighted her by presenting her with a
telescope, a "seven-foot Newtonian sweep
er." With this Instrument she faitifclly
swept the heavens during her broflrer's
enforced absence at court, bringing herselt,
JpP
y.
after some rebellion of eplrit, to spend
night after night on dewy or frosted graes
plot with no one within calL She sooi
overcame her repugnance to the loneli
ness of this work by reflecting that not far
away her beloved brother was at the same
time making observations upon double
stars or planets, nnd this sense of near
ness encouraged her to work away on the
nebulae or star clusters which she In
tended to catalogue. Once, upon discover
ing a comet, she had the pleasure of writ
ing this fact to her brother, her letter
crossing tho following diary-letter from
him
"Dear Llna: Aug. 1. I counted 100 nebulae
today, and this evening- I saw an object which
I believe will prove tomorrow night to be
comet. 2J. Tonight I calculated 150 nebulae.
I fear it will not be clear tonight. One o'clock.
The object of last night in a comet."
It seems, however, from several congrat
ulatory letters received from noted as
tronomers, that to Caroline belonged the
priority of observing this, the first of the
eight comets which she discovered.
Until William Herschel's day six or eight
Inches was considered the regulation size
for the mirror of an astronomical tele
scope. He and his sister polished many 10
and 7-foot mirrors "from rouzh to fin
ing down," a process tedious beyond de
scription. William once became so ab
sorbed in polishing a seven-foot mirror
that he never took his hand off it for 1G
hours, his distressed and devoted sister
meanwhile literally keeping him alive by
drjpplng bits of food into nls mouth while
he worked.
With this enthusiastic brother, Caroline
Herschel braved th roughest weath...
noting tho right ascensions and polar dis
tances of the objects observed while the
ink froze In the bottle, helping regularly
in his numerical calculations and reduc
tions and only during his absence using
the prized Newtonian sweeper, and getting
through an amount of Independent, orig
inal work that caused amazement among
tho admiring astronomers of all coun
tries. By this time her self-abnegation was so
complete that the Joys of youth, the draw
backs of age, were alike unnoted, because
of her absorption in her brother's life
work. She resented fiercely all praise of
herself which might detract from her
brother's fame, and writes with all sincer
ity: "I have done nothing; all I am, all
I know. I owe to my brother. I am only
a tool which he shaped to bis use a well
trained puppy dog would have done as
much."
The many distinguished visitors who
came to the house after the discover' of
tho Georgian satellites 17SG-S7 did not
agree with Caroline's modest estimate of
herself. So that when. In 17S7, the salary
of the astronomer royal was doubled, the
modest sum of 50 annually was settled
upon Caroline as assistant astronomer.
Her Joy, however, over this unprecedented
action in the history of science and the
possession of the first money, most Irreg
ularly paid, which she had ever been able
to spend to her liking, was soon clouded
by the first real trial of her life.
That Spring her brother William mar
ried; although his wife became Caroline's
life-lor.2 friend, it was a great blow to a
woman whose SS years had been so lived
in her brother's life to be thus -relegated
to a secondary place. Although bitterly
lonely In her lodgings, she neverthelesi
worked untiringly, not for the sake of
science, but for the sake of the brother
who had trained her to believe that as
tronomy was the only branch of science
worth studying. She but thinly veils her
contempt of other studies when she writes
of her brother Dietrich: "He amuses him.
self with insects; It is well he does not
see the word 'amuses for whenever he
catches a fly with a leg more than usual
he says it Is as good as catching a comet."
Caroline Herschel discovered the major
ity of her comets after her brother's mar
riage. Nevertheless, she still spent many
nights star-gazing with him, roughly Jot
ting down bis observations, and at dawn
hastening 1o her cottage, where she
worked until breakfast, in order to send
her brother a fair copy of the night's
work, .together with the working plan fcT
the following evening. Sometimes, when
Mrs. Herschel would be absent for a
month with her only son, to whom Caro
line was always devoted, the sister wculd
come to her brother's home, working night
after night with him In the dear old way.
Indeed, had It not been for the frequent
cloudy evenings, these laborers by day
and night would not have been able to
stand the unresting strain of so many
years. As It was, Sir William Herschel's
Iron frame succumbed prematurely to the
outrageous treatment which it constantly
received, and he died In 1822. England
was no lonrer England now that the
brother who brought her thitheT was gone,
and the broken-hearted sister returned, at
the ago of 72. to Hanover, where she lived
20 years. Still faithful to her task o:
"minding the heavens" for her brother,
she completed some of his most important
works in her native land. The reduction
and arrangement in the form of a cata
logue In zones of all the star clusters and
nebulae observed by Sir W. Herschel In
his sweeps won for her. In 1S2S, at the nge
of 78. the gold medal of the Royal As
tronomical Society. She also wrote many
other catalogues and Indexes lnvaluab'e
to astronomers, who can but appreciate
the unremitting intellectual activity which
produced them. She worked slowly, aa
though she had nearly a century in which
to bo painstaking.
The pleasures of her latter years were
found In music, and she retained to the
last her enthusiasm for great musical per
formers and composers. Her life was so

simple that it was with great difficulty
that she could spend one-half of the an

left her. Her dearest Joy was in the
achievements of her Illustrious nephew,
the beloved brother's only child.

MOUNT TABOR WATER RATE
Iovrered .to
Subscribers Bart
Affair.
Side
By signing' contracts tho customers of
the Mount Tabor Water Company have
Just received a considerable reduction in
their water rates. The reduction amounts
In most instances to 60 per cent, and
brings the cost to the Mount Tabor con
sumer on the average but little above the
cost to residents of the city. These con
tracts are for long time, and seemed to
have been framed with a view of Bull
Run water some time In the future being
Introduced Into the Mount Tabor district
One provision In the contracts is that all
things being equal the consumers will con
tinue to take water of the Mount Tabor
Water Company even should Bull Run bo
Introduced, it being stipulated that the
rates shall be the some. The water sys
tem at Mount Tabor extends over a wide
district, and Includes both the west- and
east sides of the slope. The plant is the
outgrowth of several smaller ones that
were started in Montavllla and elsewhere
nnd united together. by absorption- as one
plant. Water is obtained from Paradise
Springs on Hawthorne avonue. There is
no immedlato likelihood of Bull Run being
Introduced Into the Mount Tabor district,
as that will not be even thought of until
the people shall have come Into the city.
There is strong opposition to annexation
and It may be several years before It
will be accomplished, but It is bound to
come in the course of time. Just before
the meeting of tho Legislature there is al
ways an agitation for annexation, and the
Company seems to have anticipated tho
future somewhat In lowering the water
rates and cutting the ground from under
one argument for annexation.
Annual Confrrcprntlonal Meeting:.
The annual congregational meeting of the
Mlzpah Presbyterian church, Powell and
East Thirteenth streets, took place Thurs
day evening. At this meeting it was
noted that all debts had been paid off, pro
visions were made for raising a J1000 build
ing fund and the Rev. W. T. Wardle was
re-elected pastor for the ensuing year.
There was a large attendance of tho
members of the church, and the first busi
ness was the reading of reports from all
the departments of the church. Thesa
were all encouraging, especially concern
ing the work of the Ladies' Aid and Mis
sionary Societies. The church has two
buildings, one being on Powell street and
one at Kenllworth. At the latter place
Sunday school Is held Sunday afternoon
by the pastor, and at the Powell-street
church tegular services are held. After
the reports had been read and adopted R
W. KIrkham was elected elder, and 'Clar
ence Pugh and F. Blank trustees. Rev.
Mr. Wardle was the re-elected pastor for
tho ensuing year unanimously. He was
served six years. The pleasant feature of
the annual meeting was that the church no
longer has to carry the burden of debt,
and at this gathering steps wero taken
to raise $1000 for the building fund. Tho
congregations and work of the church
nave grown so much that the present
building is no longer adequate for the re
quirements. It is the Intention to recon
struct the building so that it will have
double the seating capacity. The plans
for these changes have not matured, but
It is hoped to bring them about this
year. The movement may also result in
changing the location of the church by
moving It back to make room for an an
nex. In early days the edifice was built
in its present location, and the city has
spread all around it, necessitating the
erection of a larger building.

Death of Rabbi Isaac 31. Wise.
The memorial service held bv Congre
gation Beth.Israel, at the Synagogue last
evening, In honor of Rabbi Isaac M. .WJse,
of Cincinnati, was largely attended. Rab
bi J. Bloch, delivered an address in eu
logy of the great Jewish loader and teach
er, sketching his life from the time of
his birth In Bohemia to the day of his
death, exhorting his hearers to take to
heart the lessons of courage and fidelity
to truth exemplified In his career.
The anthems, "Tho King of Love My
Shepherd Is," When Power Divine," and
"Tho Good Shepherd," were rendered by
a choir of 20 voices In an artistic manner,
the solo parts being taken by Mrs. Ross
Bloch-Bauer, Mrs. Pollard Clifton, and
Wlll'am Belcher, Charles H. Hoeg and
J. Rosenthal. Their full sweet tones
filled the audience chamber with paeons
of praise.
Rabbi Bloch said in part:
"The death of our great leader and
teacher, Israel Maler Wise, has cast a
gloom over the entire Jewish household,
and not only there but wherever his name
was known as a leader In the intellectual
world, a zealous patriot and an untiring
philanthropist. He has left a record, re

The speaker outlined the life of Dr.
Wise, telllns of his birth in a Bohemian
village; surrounded by Ignorant and Intol
erant peasantry. He was nevertheless
Instructed by his parents In the beauties
of Jewish literature and taught to love
liberty, that boon which was denied to the
Jews bo their Austrian ruler. In even a
greater measure than to the Gentiles.
He grew to manhood at a time when
the "European monarchs were stamping
out the fire of liberty that had been started
all over the Continent by the success of
the French Revolution. The Jews were
made the objoct of the most unrelenting
persecution. In consequence a tide of
immigration set toward the, shores of
America and with It came , the young
Rabbi, Isaac Wise. Here he met Rabbi
Iiilllenthal, and together they worked for
and accomplished the reunion of the
American Jewish refugees. He founded
a college for the Hebrew youth, and es
tablished a paper, as editor of which he
fought the battles of his people. As
preacher, teacher, defender, and friend he
Is loved and venerated by the whole Jew
ish race.
Rabbi Bloch closed his address with the
following eulogy of the great Israelite:
"Great as a counselor, a giant In spir
itual force he was ever ready to take up
the challenge in the name of right and Jus
tice. Whenever the cause of noble chairlty
or broad philanthropy needed his help, he
was leady to give It. Uuswerving from
his belief of the right he acknowledged the
worship of none save the voice of the.
living God. May his memory remain a
rich and sacred heirloom to all who abide
in the faith; and may his mantle fail upon
one worthy to continue the work begun
by hia master-hand."
