BERMANJS BUBI
ATLANTA. Oct. 31.—The body of
Matthew Berman, the Jewish mer
chant. who died in Elberton Wednes
day night from hydrophobia, was laid
to rest in the Jewish section of Oak
land cemetery.
The body of Mr. Berman was sent
to Atlanta for interment Jn order that
tog might receive an orthodox 'burial
In compliance with a request made
Just before he died from the effects
of a mad dog bite last Monday.
Mr. Berman’s body was sent to At
lanta Incased in an expensive casket,
but the custom of the orthodox Jews
requires that there shall be no expen
sive display, and the casket was ex
changed for a simple wooden coffin.
In place of the customary burial clothes
of expensive material the body was
clothed In a white garment of In
expensive linen, prepared by the Chev-
ro-Cadlsho, the Jewish burial society.
The black and white striped praying
robe, used by the orthodox Jews when
praying to the synagogue, was laid
over the’body and the wholo was cov
ered with a sheet of white linen.
The funeral service was held at HU-
burn & Holland’s by Rabbi W, J. Le
vine, of the Congregation Avlth-Acnlm,
and consisted of a simple prayer for
the future welfare Y>f the dead. At
the grave the ceremony was equally as
simple, a abort prayer being offered
j by a member of the congregation.
: There were no flowers.
.’’The burial service of the orthodox
i Jews Is very simple," said M.* Lichen-
stein, president of the Congregation
Avith-Acblm, "and differs greatly
from that of the reformed Jews. There
I le no display; all are burled alike, the
rich and the poor. •" , •
"Hundreds of. years ago It was the
etistom of the Jews to bury their dead
with great pomp and ceremony. The
bodies were covered with fine gar
ments and Jhere were .many flowers.
The rich could afford it, but the poor,
in order to follow the cuatom, were
compelled to go into debt for many
• yfcara
the poor should not be humiliated by
their Inability to have expensive fu
nerals, nor forced into debt by trying
to follow the custom.
"Mr. Berman wished to be burled
according to the custom, and for that
reason his body was sent to Atlanta
for Interment In Oakland."
JUDGE TAFT SAYS
NEW YORK IS SAFE
ROCHESTER. N. Y.. Oct 31.—After a

i statement to Ifee Asso-

"The state of New York Is .the most
republican part of the United States,
even more republican than the state pf
Pennsylvania.
more republican than the state
—ylranla.
‘There Is every Indication, though
that part of the state above the Bronx,
that there will be a majority for the re
publican ticket nearly equal to that of
Mr. Roosevelt four years ago.
"The democratic majority of the city
of New York will probably not exceed
TO.000 votes. This will be overcome tar
ths republican void above the Bronx with
aueb overwhelming force as to give the
republican ticket in the Empire Htate a
deer majority of. from one hundred
thousand upward."
This roseate view of tho candidate
has been reflected in each of the ten
speeches be made today. Judge Taft
has hod cordial receptions In Elmira,

.NEW YORK. Oct. 31.—A million
aire champagne merchant has been re
vealed as one of the leaders in the
white slave traffic in this city.
His Identity was betrayed by the
"clearing house" directory captured by
Agent Victor M. Plssara, of the Chil
dren’s -Society.
It Is declared ho will be placed be
hind the bars as soon as tho evldenco
has been completed by tho addition
of a single link. This link. It Is said,
will be instrumental in sending the
rich trafficker In young girls to Sing
Sing prison for a long time.
"The millionaire’s name and tele
phone call are in the white slave pri
vate telephone director, which we
seized," said Plssara. "I am not at
liberty to divulge this man’s name, but
It should not be difficult to ascertain
It. We are certain he has made a
business of supplying champagne to
scores of evil resorts whose names ap
pear in the confiscated directory and
we are working to establish a more
definite connection. I don’t know what
police protection these places had. On
that subject Magistrate Crane obtain
ed his information from another source
than the society."
“J have gone over the address book.'
said Magistrate Crane today "and It Is
a revelation to me. I never dreamed
there could be such vice and crime In
this country. The case Is a most awful
one.”

along the sea coast of the Atlantic
und wero hemmed In but a fow miles
west of tidowutor by the ludlan-
haunted wilderness, lmvo keen trans
formed Into the mightiest republic
which tho world has ever seen. Its
.domains stretch acrosn the contlnont
from one to tbo other of Iho two great
est oceans, and It exercises dominion
altko In thOMtrctlo and troplo realms.
Tho growth ln wealth and population
has surpassed oven tho growth In ter
ritory. Nowhere else in th* world Is
the average of Individual comfort and
material well-being as high as In our
fortunate land.
"For the very reaaon that In material
woll-bolng we have thus abounded, wc
owe It to the Almighty to show equal
progress In moral and spiritual things,
with a nation, as with the Individuals
who make up a nation, materia] well
being Is an Indispensable foundation.
But tho foundation avails nothing by
Itsejf. That life Is wasted, and worse
than wasted, which Is apent In piling,
heap upon heap, those things which
minister merely to the pleasure of
the body and to the power that rests
only«on wealth. Upon material well
being us a foundation must be raised
,tho structuro of the lofty life of the
spirit. If this nation Is properly to ful
fill Ita great mluslon and to accom
pllsh all that we so ardently hope and
desire. Tho things of tho body are
good, things of tho Intellect bettor, but
best of ull aro tho things of tho soul;
for,. In the nation os In the Individual,
In tho long run It Is character that
counts. .Let us, therefore, as a people
set our fauca resolutely against evil,
and with broad charity, with kindli
ness nnd good-will toward all men,
but with unflinching determination to
smllo down wrong, strive with all tho
strength that is given us for righteous,
ness in ptibllo nnd In private life,
"Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose

do set apart Thursday, the 26th day
of November next, as a day of gen

that day I recommend that the people
shall cease from their dally work, and
In their homes or in their churches,
meet devoutly to thsnk the Almighty
for the many and great blessings they
have received In the past, and to pray
