BETROTHED TO THE FAITH
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES AT
‘ MICKVA ISRAEL TEMPLE.
The Festival of the Pentecost and the
Confirmation Service Five Young
Ladies Pledge Their Allegiance to
the Jewish Faith—Rev. I. P. Mendes’
Address—The Floral Decorations of
the Synagogue.
The Miekva Israel synagogue was
thronged at yesterday’s services. The feast
of Pentecost is one of general rejoicing
among the Jewish people. The Gothic interior
of the handsome synagogue was beautifully
decorated with flowers. Evergreen arches
spanned the aisles and festoons were looped
gracefully between the pillar's under the
vaulted roof.
The ark containing the scrolls and the
reading desk and pulpit were richly orna
mented with flowers and wreaths of ever
green. Tall ferns about the pulpit waved
gracefully and everywhere there were
offerings of nature’s richest kind. In front
of the pulpit and on each side of the plat
form were two wreaths of jassamim*.
In the centre of one was
the word “Sivan,” and in the other “5647"
the month Sivan of the Jewish year 5647.
Above the pulpit and in front of the ark
was a scroll with the words “O, Bless This
Band."
THE CONFIRMATION SERVICE.
After the colebration of the festival
_ came the beautiful confirmation service
‘of the Jewish church. There were five con
flrmants —Mi-ses Pauline Kulinan, Ida
Meinbard, Bertha I. Kosenheim, Pauline
Weil aud Lilian R. Scares They were
dressed iu pure white and sat underneath
the scroll and the inscription “O, Bless This
Band. The service began with Baruch
Habah, the choir chanting the 118th psalm.
At its close the confinuauts deposited the
flowers which they carried in front of the
pulpit.
Rev. L P. Mendes briefly addressed the
ronfirmants, preparing them for the new life
which they were about to enter upon. Miss
Ida Meinhard then recited the opeuiug
prayer.
THE OPENING PRAYER.
Ouanlinn Shepherd. King of Isreal whoso
watchful love aud fatherly protection have been
Vouchsafed unto us from earliest times. Tbou
Whose single word hath power to move the
strong foundations of the earth and
IUI with trembling and fear Thy
frail CraaturM, its inhabitants. We
recognize Thy power of omnipotence, and bow
with humble submission unto Thee as the hearer
•f prayer and the only King who can grunt our
requests. With this knowledge and conviction
present to our minds, do we aj-.pe.ir before Thee
this festive morn to crown with the wreath of
sincerity our venerable mother religion, at
whose honored feet we now kneel. For months
past have we been diligently prepares! for
this important step, and as the tender
flower opens its leaves at early mom to catch
the refreshing dew, so have we, O Lord, longed
and panted for Thy courts to be revived by Thy
promises and strengthened by Thy word. Yea,
confirmation with its solemnities has wafted its
fragrant perfumes toward us, and we feel so
happy that we have reached that goal, so thauk
ful that we have been spared to take our stand
in the ranks-of duty ana life.
To Thee, 0 God, do we now reveal our hearts
that Thou mayest rend therein our true motives
and intentions. Be with our lips, O Father, and
frame our tongues to speak with accuracy and
wisdom the expositions and explanations of the
tenets of Thy faith. Let our words curry enthusi
asm with them, that they may cause others to
take up the refrain of our song; that its sweet
tones may gladden their lives and cheer them on
ward to religion and upward to Thee, our God.
Suffer, my Father, our faithfulness to come
before. Thee, that it may eloquently plead to
Thee to keep us firm in our duty, loyal in our
allerience and determined in our resolves fb
cling to Tbee "with all our heart, with all our
soul and with all our might, feeling, as we do,
beyond a doubt, that Thou alone art good, for
Tliy mercies never fail; Thou alone art merci
ful, for Thy goodness never ceaseth for from
ever have we put our trust iu Thee, Oh, God.
Amen.
The choir then chanted;
“Make us sound in Thy teachings that our hearts
may never come to shame.”
THE RELIGIOUS EXAMINATION.
The religious examination of the confirm
ants followed and was conducted by the
minister. After it the choir sang the hymn,
“How happy when in early days,” which
was followed by the ooniirm'ants’ acceptance
of the law of "God. Miss Pauline Weil re
cited the beautiful acceptance:
Here in the presence of the Mighty God of Is
rael we yield that loyal allegiance which binds
us henceforth to His holy law. We bow our
heads with dutiful submission to all that He may
decree concerning ns in the future. We place
oil our hopes and oil our trust in Him, feeling
assured that He who is the mighty God can
place us fru- beyond the roach of dangers or
troubles. and can erect over our heads
the sacred tabernacle of everlasting pesos.
Wo will strive to show ourselves grate
ful for the honor conferred upon
us by adhering to our heavenly religion, by en
deavoring to live in that religion and by rever
encing it until the moment of the separation of
the immortal spirit from its mortal resting
place TVe believe in the immutability and eter
nity of our Holy law, and strengthened in this
belief we will never forsake that staff wheron
we can leau for support in the snowy winter of
our live*. We accept the burden or duty that
confirmation has placed upon our shoulders,
and we now turn to God with the hear!felt re
quest that He will strengthen our resolves and
cause us to grow up good, true and noble
women, that He mad' teach us how to appreciate
as well as to follow the declaration of ourVatlieM
at the foot of Sinai.
ACCEPTANCE OK THE LAW.
Tho confirmants then repeated together,
“All that the Lord hath spoken we will do,
and we will obey from now until the end of
oar days. Amen.” The confirmation hymn,
“Teachings of the Lord,” was sung by the
choir. The closing prayer was beautifully
recited by Miss Rosenheim, after which the
choir again sang:
“Raising up to Thee their voices.
H*-re tills day Thy children stand.
With Thy light. Lord, that rejoices,
Pious souls, 0 bless this band."
Rev. Mr. Mobiles in his address dwelt upon
the thought, "I will betroth the unto me in
faithfulness and thou shalt know the Lord.”
He referred to the giving of tho law on
Sinai more liian thirty centuries ago, and
pictured that awful scene at the loot of tho
mountain when the sacred tables of stone,
which bore the imperishable truths that
havo become the moral law of all civilized
peoples, wei-e placed in Moses’ hands. The
law, the minister said, is the hrelai present
The women of Israel are the bride and the
Lord is the bridegroom. The festival of the
Pentecost is the anniversai-v of the Lord's
betrothal and the giving of the law. The
minister’s address to the eniiflnnants was
full of tenderness and solicitude. lie

said, is the groat principle of the Jewish
religion. God has made lovo ami law

the portal* of your home write that, sw- r
word—Love. God raid: “I will betroth

The oaufirmants then advanced and re
ceived the minister's blessing, after which
the choir Ring the Hallelujah. Tho diplo
ma l and the solemn
Vionediction was pronounced. The service
throughout was beautiful and impressive.
At its close tho continuants wore received

The Morning News has received an invi
tation to be represented at the annual cele
bration of the Washington and Jefferson Lit
erary Societies of Davis {School at Lo-
Graugo, N. C., on June 8.
There were 107 failures in the United
States re|x>rted to Brad-strret's last week,
against 142 in the proceeding week, and 170,
184, 183 and 155 in the corresponding weeks
ol' 1880, 1885, 18X4 and 1883 respectively.
The funeral of the late Lewis Graul took
place yesterday afternoon and was largely
attended. The German Volunteers, the Sa
vannah Turn Veivin, the German Friendly
Society and Teutonia Lodge and Uniform Di
vision, Kuiglits of Pythias, ac ted as an es
cort.
Yesterday was a had day for some of the
police. Two of them were pretty well used
up. Officer Shchan was trying to take
down two young sports when they turned
on him, closed up one of his eyes, bit him on
the cheek aud 1 x-at him up so badly that he
was unfit for duty. Officer H. M. Morgan
caught an escaped convict—William Wil
liams—and was bitten badly on the arm.
All of the assailants were finally landed,
however. Besides these, there were four
arrests for disorderly conduct.
An interesting feature of the exercises at
the Independent Sunday school yesterday
was the rending of a letter written by the
late Mi's. Bacon, wife of the pastor of the
church, to a member of her Sunday school
class, a child of tender years, t lie daughter
of Mr. J. Furr, whose wife died so suddenly
a week or two ago. The purpose of the
letter was to lighten the child’s sad bereave
ment. It breathed the gentle and sympa
thetic nature of the writer, and showed
more clearly than words can express, her
thoughtfulness of others and her readiness
to share their burdens. For some unac
countable reason it was not sent to its
destination. Perhaps the writer’s illness
was the reason. It was found among her
papers in her desk after her death, and as
stated was read to the Sunday school yes
terday.
"WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION?”
A Practical Sermon Delivered to Youngr
Men by Rev. J. W. Rogan.
The Rev. J. AY. Rogan, of the First
Presbyterian church, gave the second of a
scries of talks to young men last night. His
subject was, “The Law of Labor, or AVhat
is Your Occupation?”
His text was from Genesis, xlvii. 3:
‘ What is your occupation?”
He said that n great many men are suffi
ciently upright and honorable, men of
generous impulses and free from evil habits,
uut they never accomplish anything. They
are those who think the world owes
them a living, and that they confer a great
favor on the, world by being in it; or they
are the Micawbers who are always waiting
for something to turn up, instead of going
to work and turning it up. Viewed from a
positive point of view they are negative
characters. A foreigner was once asked in
what respect all men resembled one another,
and after thinking for awhile he replied:
“Me think all men love lazy ” The speaker
did not think the foreigner was right, but
undoubtedly there were many who might
be so spoken of.
AX APT ILLUSTRATION.
It is strange, he said, how hard some
man will work to keep from working. He
read a story once of two Canadians, one
industrious and frugal, the other lazy and
dishonest. The first worked hard during
the summer laying in a supply of wood to
last him through the winter. The other de
pended on stealing his neighbors wood,
m the colil weather, and it was
estimated that the latter spent more time
and did more work in waiting for opportu
nities and stealing his neighbor's wood, Chan
it would have taken him to get his wood
honestly. Naturalists tell of parasites that
will not work even lor their own food, but
who attach themselves to other tilings and
rob them of their nourishment. No man
has a right to be a parasite. He laid it down
as the duty of every man to have an occu
pation. The Scripture teaches this.
AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.
A great many think that work is a
curse put upon man at the fail, but that is
not t rue. After God made man He placed
him in the garden to keep it. In the book
of Proverbs labor is commended in the high
est terms, while idleness is severely con
demned. The commandment says, “Six days
shalt thou labor,” and he thought it was just
as obligatory to work six days—a part of
oue’s time—as to rest oa the seventh. The
man who has to labor is apt to envy the one
who strolls by him carrying a gold-headed
cane or rolls by in a carriage, and ho is dis
posed to think' that if they couid change
places he would be perfectly happy; but it
was not so. No doubt if the labor could be
lightened the laborer would be happier, but
his life as it is is far more pleasant than one
of idleness. He had referred to parasites
and he wished to say again that no man had
a right to be a parasite on the body social
even though it Ins a wealthy am-estor:
though he inherited a fortune he had no
l ight to lay it idly by aud do nothing with
it.
nONORABLE OCCUPATIONS.
Any useful occujmtion is honorable. There
area groat many foolish ideas auilonoof tho
most foolish is that trades aio degrading.
Some persons think that all muscular exer
tion except playing base ball or rowing is
degrading. Tho truth is Hint there is so
much vanity in man that ho is disposed to
look down on all those around liim. The
cook looks down on the washerwoman.
The house gild will not associate
with tho cook, and tho nurse is a
queen compared with the house-girl. There
aro grades all along tbo line. He did not
know but the dry goods clerk looked down
upon tho grocery clerk, and he was sure the
bookkeeper regarded with pity tho clerk
behind the counter measuring taj>e. He
understood that young men on Bay street
who had positions in cotton offices thought
they hud reached the acme e'clerkdom.aud
that many of them would not think of
changing their positions for stores of their
own in other lines of business if the oppor
tunity was offered them. Why was it more
honorable to handle the weights and meas
ures of a grocer, or the yardstick of a dry
goods merchant, or the pen of a bookkeeper,
tli in a sledge hammer, or the awl of n shoo
make f True, a mechanic got his face black
and soiled his clothes, but the soot did not
touch his soul; his character was as white
ns over, and water would take the dirt from
his face. He thought there was too much
disjxMition to shirk work and manual labor.
HOW TO CHOOSE AN OCCUPATION.
Having settled it that any useful occu
pation would honor a mmi if ho would
honor it, ho *viyuld say something to young
men about choosing their •x'cupiitions.
They should not look for an opportunity to
e.sonne work; they should raxise for the
future and hot for the present;
they should Reject something
that would give ample scope
for their faculties, and to do this they
should ask trod to direct them. Few young
men thought of that part of It, but in this
serious matter they should ask as did Haul
of Tarsus: “Lord, what wouldst Thou have
mo do!” Having made choice of an occu
pation, go prosecute it so as to glorify Ilim.
“Work as if thou hndst to live for aye:
V.'omlilpUh if thou wort to die to-day."

SEEKING_KEW PLACES.
SAVANNAH’S BASE EALL TEAM
IN THE MARKET.
Most of the Players to Leave After
To-Day’s Game —Manager Sneed
Anxious for Charleston to Drop Out
and the League To Go On With Four
Clubs.
The announcement in the Morning News
yesterday that the Savannah base ball club
had disbanded was not much of a surprise to
those who have watched the club’s career.
The meml>ers of the team are most of them
looking for positions elsewhere. Somers and
Campau, and probably Peltz, will go to
New Orleans and Hutchinson to Steuben
ville, O. It is probable that most of them
will go to the Ohio league liefore long. They
are in communication with various mana
fers and expect to have some definite
nowledge of what their movements will be
to-day.
Manager Sneed, of tho Memphis team,
said last night that he could not tell, of
course, what the effect of the breaking up
of Savannah will be, but he thought it
would result in lopping off Charleston. If
that is done it will leave the league with four
duos--New Orleans, Birmingham, Memphis
aud Nashville, which Manager Sneed be
lieves can play through the season all right.
They could play an extra series of games,
he thinks, and make money, whereas New
Orleans is the only club that is making any
thing at present. It has made 85,000 al
ready, and will divide $3,000 with
Memphis as a result of the
exhibition games. Birmingham has $5,000
in band and lias spent nothing. Neither
Sneed’s club nor Nashville are making
money now; on tho contrary, they were
losing. If Charleston is cut off, the longest
jump Memphis and Nashville will have to
make will be only a night. Manager Sneed
says that they could never think of going
to Charleston without Savannah to meet
also, as the expense would be too great.
Memphis will go from here to New Orleans
to-night, and it will cost something over 820
for each man to make the trip. He does
not think that any of the clubs will care if
Charleston is cut out. as he says they have
all tieen treated badly there and robbed of
games, besides. He went on to say that
Charleston bos got a poor club anyway,
aud it ought not to win any games from
Memphis or Nashville.
Manager Sneed is down on Charleston be
cause of his treatment there, and he evi
dently wants to oust the team from the
league. The relations between Charleston
and Savannah are very friendly, and if the
Carolinians can pull through the season Sa
vannah will bo glad to see them do it and
win every time.
The last professional game of the season
will be played this afternoon between the
Savannahs and the Amateurs for the Ixmefit
of the Savannah club. Umpire Suck is
still here awaiting orders and may umpire
the game. He was in Charleston yesterday
and said on Iris return last night that the
Charleston people were very much surprised
at Savannah's dropping out. They are deter
mined to pull through the season, though, if
the league lasts.
The Guyton Game.
W. F. Baker, Secretary of the Bay street
nine, which played the Guytons on Satur
day, has written to the Morning News a
statement in regard to the game, in which
he says: “On even innings the score stood
10 to 10. There was a question as to a
decision of the umpire and be voluntarily
retired from his position and refused to act
as such any longer during the game When
asked as to his decision in regard to the
score he refused to make any, claiming he
was no longer acting as umpire. No other
umpire being secured and as darkness was
at hand the team retired, claiming the score
to be 10 to 10.” '

A SOUL IN PERIL.
Blue Parrots and Green Sparrows
Perch on His Shoulders.
From the Brooklyn Eaqle. *
A tall, middle-aged man, wearing a black
suit of ministerial cut and carrying a small
valise in one hand and a dark spring over
coat in the other, ascended the steps lead
ing to Judge Walsh’s court about 10 o’clock
the other morning in a manner which sug
gested to onlookers that he had a pair of
roller skates strapped to his feet. He met
Officer Duffy, of the Tenth, at the top of
the stairs and asked him if he had seen “his
nibs” lately. Mr. Duffy, interpreting
rightly that the gentleman Imd been wrest
ing with the demon rum, told him that “his
nibs” (believed to be Judge Walsh) was on
the bench and that an interview with him
would result disastrously. Undismayed
marched the model of Bacchus into the
very t9mple of J ustice. He fell into the
end seat of pew No. 1 and soon lapsed into
a somnolent condition. Office Waldron
took an abservation of him and by the dint
of some rib punching managed to wake him
up. In answer to questions delicately put,
ho said that his name was James.Saville De
Mott, that he was a real estate dealer and
had been living until recently with his son,
at 119 Bergen street. In a succinct manner
he also managed to convey the idea that he
had been on a “bender” of more than usual
magnitude. “My soul is in danger,” he
said, “and I want to be put away some
where where it wiil be safe from the attacks
of the enemy. Probably you have noticed
those blue parrots and green sparrows
which perch on my shoulders from time to
time. Don’t mind them. I have been long
accustomed to them and I assure you they
are quiet harmless.” Then the jovial spirit
made a chuckling noise and chucked an im
aginary parrot under the chin. Mr. Wald
ron who was once an army sergeon, made a
correct diagnosis of the case at once and
showed Mi-. De Mott into the pen where he
quoted manuscript until the Judge took his
seat, soma ten minutes later. He was then
arraigned on a charge of intoxication and,
curious to relate, he pleaded not guilty. He
admitted in a sorrowful way that in the
race with rum he had been distanced aud
wanted to lie secreted somewhere where
the remorseless foe would not be able to fiind
him.
“How would you like to be sent away
for life,” asked the court.
“Not for life, your honor.” was the re
ply: “three months, I think, would amply
suffice. ”
James Saville was sent down to Raymond
street to give him a chance to sober up and
gather his wits together.
A Prisoner His Own Guard.
From the Reno Gazette.
The Gazelle, learned of a rather unusal
and peculiar occurrence in Carson last Sat
urday afternoon. On the evening of the
previous day Sheriff Sweeney, of Eureka
county, arrived in Reno, having in his cus
tody L. O. Benedict who had been found
guilty of embezzling funds belonging to a
Base Range Lodge of Odd Fellows while he
was Secretary of it, and sentenced to the
peni. ntiary for two years. The Sheriff and
pri -oner were obliged to remain in town
uut.l the next morning before they could
get a train for the capital, where the peui
tentary is located. Before the train started
Benedict expressed a desire to see certain
friends in Reno. Sweeney, feeling confi
dent that the convicted man would not at
temp to escape, told him he could do so pro
vided he took the passenger train that left
for Carson at 1:15 o'clock that afternoon
and go direct to the prison and deliver him
self up to Warden McCullough. Sweeney
went on to explain that he was desirous of
going to Virginia City, and guessed he
would go on the train about to leave. Bene
dict, promising to do as he was told, was
given the official documents, with the in
structions that they be given upon his arri
val at the prison to the warden. A moment
afterward no was left alone, Sweeney hav
ing boarded the train that was just moving
off.
Benedict saw his Reno friends, and at 1:30
o’clock was aboard the train that was to
take him to Carson. Upon his arrival at
the capital he started off at once for the
prison. Before he had proceeded up the
main street very far he met Warden
McCullough and recognized him.
“I have some business here for you to look
after,” said Benedict.
“All right,” said the warden, “what is
itr
“I have been convicted of embezzlement
and sentenced to the State penitentiary for
two years. Here are the documents.
Sheriff Sweeney had to go to Virginia
City, and he gave them to me to deliver to
you.”
“How am I to know you that are the man
Benedict spoken of in the pajiersf” a.skod the
’warden. “This looks like a rather peculiar
case. I cannot receive you at the prison
until you are properly vouched for, or at
least identified.”
“That is impossible just now,” replied
Benedict, “for I don’t know of a soul in Car
son that I am acquainted with.”
“How has it been since Sweeney left
you to go to Virginia City!
“Since <5:45 o'clock this morning.”
“Well, I would advise you to go to the
telegraph office, send a message to Mr.
Sweeney stating that I ref use to accept you
until you are at least identified and then go
tx) the Orrasby House aud remain there un
til he arrives.’’
The guilt-oppressed apt! bewildered con
vict, a man nearly (50 years of age, alone and
friendless, scarcely knew what to do, but
finally did as lie was told, and after securing
a room at the hotel sat down and cried.
Sweeney arrived that evening and took him
over to the prison.

BAKING POWDER.
"Royal” ths only Baking Powder Free from
Urns and Absolutely Pure.
Lime is the serious defect found in most of the cream of
tartar baking powders. Asa matter of fact, chemical analvsi*
has found it in all such powders except the “Royal.” Jtg
presence is caused by the use of adulterated cream of tartar ia
the effort to reduce their cost of production.
Lime adds to the weight, while it detracts from the strength
of the baking powder. It also renders the food less wholesome
giving rise to dyspepsia and kindred ailments. Baking powden
containing lime produce less leavening gas, and therefore in USJ
are more expensive than a first-class, pure article.
The Royal Baking Powder is mads, from cream of tartai
that is first specially refined and made chemically pure. No
tartrate of lime or other impurity can find its way into th
“Royal,” and to this fact its great superiority in strength, whole,
someness and keeping quality is due.
All this adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing the
Royal Baking Powder, but as all its ingredients are selected and
prepared with the same precise care and regardless of labor or
expense, an article is produced that is free from every extraneous
substance—“ absolutely pure.” Nor does it contain any ingredi
ents except those necessary to make a ptfre, wholesome and per
fect baking powder. 1
Prof. McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to the U. S. Depart'
ment of Agriculture, after analyzing the cream of tartar used
by the various baking powders of the market, reported as follows:
“ I have examined the cream of tartar manufactured for and
used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in their baking
powder, and find it to be perfectly pure and free from lime in any
form.”
Prof. Love, who made the analyses of baking powders for
the N. Y. State Board of Health, as well as for the Government,
certifies to the purity and wholesomeness of the Royal.
Dr. E. 11. Bartley, chemist of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Depart,
ment of Health, says: “ I have recently analyzed samples of ths
Royal Baking Powder purchased by myself in the stores of this
city, and find it free from lime in any form.”
Bread, cake, biscuits, etc., prepared with Royal Baking
Powder, will be lighter, sweeter and more wholesome than ii
made with any other baking powder or leavening agent.
