The Elks attended the Synagogue In a body last night, and for this and other reasons, the services were of special In terest. As It was the last day of tho Feast of the Lights the music was more than usually Joyful In character. There was an opening quartet, "Thou Art Our Father," by Himmel, followed by a con tralto solo by Miss Roso Loewenberg, "Glory; to God In the Highest." Miss Loewehberg's voice, which Is of great full ness and depth, was admirably suited to the worthy Interpretation of this num ber, which demands both volume and richness of tone. The trio by NIcolae, The personnel of the choir now embraces. besides the two already mentioned, Mr. Belcher, tenor, Mr. Epping, baritone, and Miss Fisher at the organ. Dr. Wise, out of deference to his vis itors, omitted much of the Hebrew of the service, substituting English in its place. His sermon was a masterly and con vincing piece of orator and most hap pily suited to the occasion, since it dwelt upon the very qualities fellow ship and brotherly love which are characteristics of the Elks, as an association; and drew illustra tions from the greatest of all drama tists, Shakespeare, wllh whom the Elks are credited with being more closely In sympathy than ordinary folk. That the Jew was not a man of revenge, and his religion Is not one of hatred and retalia tion, as sometimes supposed, was the sub ject of Dr. Wise's discourse. He first proved his case from the Scriptures, throwing new light upon such passages as "An eye for an eye. a tooth for a tooth." The words "Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thy enemy," ho said, are not to be found In the Old Testament. The ancient cities of refuge were referred "Protect TTa Throuch the Coxninc Nieht " was also of great beauty, one of the most t to, In proof of the fact that mercy, not mine, salth the Lord," and other passages were quoted to show that vlndlctlveness. even to those of an alien race, was not characteristic of the Jews. Shylock then came In for a share of attention. Shakespeare was declared to be at fault, having completely turned about the story on which the play is based. The words of Shylock to Antonio In extenuation of his course were repeat ed by Dr. Wise with great dramatic power and Intensity of feeling; the tragedy In Shylock's soul was laid bare, and It was seen that It was a cry of anguish against .injustice and wrong, as much as a cry of hatred and revenge. The character of Shylock as created by Shakespeare was declared to be untrue to the race, an exception, not a fair Illustra tion of the attitude of the Jews toward their persecutors and oppressors. "The Jew has a nobler task to forget and for give. To love Is Israel's revenge." It was easy to see that the Elks were profoundly Impressed by this presentation of the case. 2 IWEIDLER GRANT REJECTED ARE YOU GOING EAST?

Consider Itu Terras Bnrdensomc- Mr. Stronir Say They Are Not, and "Will Bring: Suit. The Northern Pacific people have de clined to accept the franchise allowing them to construct and operate a railroad on North Front street, which was secured In their Interest, after much trouble, by George W. Weidler. The reason given for not accepting the franchise la that the conditions are burdensome. It will be remembered that the North ern Pacific people contracted for the pur chase of the old Willamette lumber mills site. Just north of the Terminal grounds, at a fixed sum, provided that a fran chise was procured which would afford tho company an entrance to this tract. A forfeit of $25,000 was put up by the company to bind the bargain. The first franchise procured was rejected, and a second and very much Improved one was, after a deal of trouble, secured; and now this is turned down. Fred R. Strong, attorney for the Holla day estate, to which the property be longs, does not consider the provisions of the franchise burdensome, and says ho will bring suit against the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company for the forfeiture of the $25,0oO put up to bind the bargain.
