he did build a glitter around his efforts that made things look their finest. The frlll3 which our former friends ad
mired, on the lithographed walls were harmless accessories for creating Interest in the "greatest show on earth."
When they got Inside the tent there were, of course, many things lacking which they counted on seeing, but they
came away feeling that it wasn't a bad show after all, and simply because no stone was left unturned that would
bring forth features for the spectator's amusement. Now, Inasmuch as Barnum found It advisable to keep faith
with the public, of how much greater importance is it for Meier & Frank to see that when buyers come into their

Revenue Xot a Trait of the Jew, lie
Sa Benutlei of Fellowship
and Brotherly Love.
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.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
WILL NOT ACCEPT FRANCHISE.
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.
