D The Keneseth Israel Synagogue Formally Dedicated, AN ELABORATE PROGRAMME Divines From Many Cities Participate in the Ceremonies. THE PERPETUAL LAMP LIGHTED One of the Handsomest House of Worship In America Dedicated In the Presence of a Itrtlltimt Gathering of Philadelphia' Most Prominent Men and Women A Scene of Rare Hrtl-llancy Enlivened by Choice Music. The dedication of tho new Jewish Temple of the Congregation "Keneseth Israel" (Assembly of Israel), began last evening under the most brilliant auspices. Fully one hour before the doors were opened tho east side of Broad street, between Columbia and Montgomery avenues, was crowded with Indies and gentlemen who were eagerly awaiting their turn to get a glimpse of tho interior of the imposing edifice about to bo consecrated. The Jewish residents of this city have eagerly awaited tho time when they would dedicate this, the grandest Jewish tabernacle on this continent, thereby proving that in this, as in many other respects, Philadelphia stands preeminently in tho foreground of Judaism in America. Shortly after tho doors were thrown open the large auditorium was completely filled with an audience comprising the most prominent Hebrews of Philadelphia and many who had conies miles to witness the grandest event in Reform Judaism that has taken placo in the last decade. The fame of the beautiful building Lad travelod over tho continent long before the edifice was ready for the purposes it was to bo consecrated to. Delegations from San Francisco, Kansas City, New Orleans, Baltimore. Chicago, Pittsburg, New York, Boston and other cities were present to participate in the services. AN IMMENSE CKOWD PRESENT. Many clamored at tho entrance in vain for admission, and whilo the temple has a seating capacity of nearly 2,000 fully double that number would have gladly witnessed the services had there been room. Tho outer doors had been closed by 7 o'clock and shortly thereafter the mammoth organ, presided over by Professor Carl Ectter, of Pittsburg, sent forth in sonorous tones tho processional march, to tho time of which sixty lads, each bearing a burning candle, an American flag and a palm leaf, marched down tho aisles and stopped beforo tho pulpit. The choir then sang tho " Hymn of Light," nirfed by this chorus of sixty beys, the latter singing in unison a responsive strain at the close of each verse. Then followed the lighting of the perpetual lamp by the oldest past president of tho congregation, L. licrnhoimer, an octogenarian, who had followed the congregation from its inception and had othciatcd at the dedication of its three different homes. Simultaneously with the lighting of the perpetual lamp all the lights were turned on and the beautiful illumination of the vast domo and the mammoth auditorium aroused an ex clamation of pleasure from tho largo assembly. During the singing of the recitative and tho chorus, "The Heavens Are Telling." from Haydn's oratorio, "The Creation," the hoys deposited their palm and national flags about the shrine. A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONIAL. The stentorian tones of "The Coronation March," from Meyerbeer's " Prophet," wore next heard and under the escort of the officers. of the congregation the officiating clergymen as follows entered the auditorium : Rev. William Armliold, Philadelphia; Hev Dr. II. Iierl;owlt7., Kansas City, Mo.; Iter. K. Callsb, Richmond; Rev. A. H. Uelsmur. llrooklyn, N. Y.; Rev. Dr. O. (iotthell. Now York; Hew. A. Guttinaoher, Ralllmore; Rev. M.H. Harris, New York; Rev. Israel Joseph, Wllkesbarre; Rev. Dr. Joseph K rauskopf, Philadelphia; Rev. ('. H. Levy, Lancaster, l'a.; Rev. Dr, L. Mayer, Pittsburg, Pa.; Rev. 'fob. Schanfarbcr, Baltimore; Rev. Dr. 1. M. Wise, Cincinnati. The scrolls, on which were inscribed the Five Books of Moses, were then deposited in the shrino, after which Hev. William Armliold pronounced tho exaltation of tho law. During a prelude on the organ one hundred girls, robed in spotless white, walked down the aisle, carrying flowers and wreaths. The central division was headed by a little miss bearing the key of the edifice, behind whom were six handsome girls carrying a huge "Star of David" of evergreens. Tho "Hymn to Flowers" was sung, after which the girls deposited their floral tributes at tho altar, while tho key was presented to Joseph Loch, chairman of tho building committee, who accepted it with appropriate remarks. Mr, Philip Lewin, president of the congregation, then delivered an address, in which lie recapitulated' tho history of Keneseth Israel, and praised the various committees fur the faithful fulfilment of the duties allotted to them. Ho concluded his remarks with tho charge to the minister. RAWil KRACSKOFF'b RESPONSE. Then followed Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf's response, in which ho incorporated the following: Mk. President: It Is a solemn duly which you now entrust to me. Y'onr words have awakened serious thoughts thoughts that never came before, and they have opened revelations such, as never belore presented themselves to my view. The few A II! ft. 'aim ' : riftnvti h - ' CHOIR AND GALLERY. words which yon have spoken, Mr. President, have conjured up a wonderful past, and they have painted in brilliant colors a mag-nlllcent present ; yes, they have breathed the fervent hope of a yet more glorious future, largely to be realized by him unto whoso care you now entrust tills sanctuary, wllhall lis solemn purposes and sacred inieresls and manifold possibilities. And the same words which you. Mr. President, have uttered, 1 read on lhe countenances ol your colleagues and on the sea of laces now liefore me. There are moments when without the aid of speech or any of Us substitutes, faces become instinct with elo (lueiice, when eyes speak to eyes, when thought interprets thought., when heart divines the Innermost thoughts and wlshfS of heart. This Is such a moment, In your faces I decipher the wishes of your hearls; In your eyes I scan the thoughts of your minds. In both I read the inspiring story ol your enthusiasm for Israel's holy cause, ol your unwavering devotion to Kencstith Israel's hlsh ideal, and of the many sacrifices yon have brought for Its furtherance. And In them I also' read your present hopes lor tho realization by your spiritual leader nt those yet grandcr'objects for which you have voluntarily undertaken vnst expenditures, and lor which mauy of you have borne heavy burdens, and wrestled with vexing cares and trying troubles. And thesanie charge, Mr. President, which you have reposed In me, and which I rend on lhe faces of all present, 1 hear for the third time addressed to me by this magnificent building Itself. Wherever 1 gaze, within or without, every brain nnd rafter, every post and pillar, every stone and brick, is eloquently vocal with ibo ono menage: "I have been built that now thou niayest build." Lei this hulldlng bo consecrated to the vindication of the too long misunderstood, mis-Judged nnd maligned Jewish creed and character. Toil hy day nnd toil by night, toll year in aud toll 'year out, till within Its walls be witnessed a true renaissance, ft real rebirth, a true appreciation of the Jew as be was and as uc is, what he has stood for and what he stands tor still, what he has achieved aud is achieving still for the glory of (iod and for the good of man. But lu this supremely happy hour I shall not, nurse gloomy prospects, nor give way lo doubts and fears. Fncouraged by the remembrance of God's blessings in the past, and by the noble aid which you at all times hxve cheerfully extended unto me, I shall rcso-lulely go forward lu the confidence that If that lofty misslou that, has been set as this congregation's goal is at all realizable, with the extraordinary advantages which this: temple affords, with the specially helpful features that have hero been provided, wilh a peace-loving aud progress-seeking congregation to assist, with n spirit anxious to succeed, and with o will prepared to toil and struggle for it, with a trust that (iod will prosper whatever Is undertaken for His glory and for the good of man. If success Is realizable at all ours must be a great aud enduring success. Be the work ever so gigantic nnd the difficulties ever so great, we have no need to fear. Where pence holds sway in the heort anil loyalty in tho mind, where courage Inflames the breast and love ot deed quickens the hand there failure Is impossible. FORMALLY DEDICATED. Dvorak's beautiful dedication anthem was rendered hy the choir in a truly artistic manner, whereupon Rev. Dr. L. Mayer, of Pittsburg, Pa., pronounced tho invocation, asking the aid of the God of Israel in the carrying out of tho labor undertaken by the members of the Congregation Keneseth Israel. He was succeeded by Rev. Dr. Isaac M. Wise, of Cincinnati, tho pioneer of Reform Judaism in America, who formally dedicated the edifice. "Judaism has no bishops," said Dr. Wise, "henco we can dedicate our temples only by our works in the vineyards of God. It is already consecrated, for where the Five Books of Mosc3 aro deposited there has been consecrated a spot for the worship of God. lie closed by dedicating the pews to all who may come into the tabernaclo for worship and seeking the true light, and tho building to those whose burdens can only be lightened hy their faith in God." Mme. Selma Kronold, of the Xew American Opera Company, then ssag with beautiful piled the aria from Mendelssohn's "Elijah," after which Rev. Dr. G. Gottheil, ot New York, delivered a very impressive and masterly dedicatory sermon. The dedicatory prayer wns next delivered by Rev. T. Schaufarber, of Baltimore, whereupon followed the regular evening ser vices according to the ritual. The first purt of the services were in charge of the Rev. F.dw. N. Calish, of Richmond, Va., and the latter half were spoken by Rev. C, II. Levy, of Lancaster, Pa. Tho bene.lic-tion, which concluded tho evening's ceremonies, was delivered by Rev. Dr. II.

NEARINGTHELflST DM CERTIFICATES OF NOMINATION UNDER THE BAKER BALLOT LAW. THEY ARE GENERALLY ON FILE Republican Chairman Heeder Wants lint Seven to Complete Ills List, While Democratic Chairman Wright la Reasonably Safe The Form of Ballot to be Voted Jtests With Attorney Genernl Hensel Many Societies In Line for the Scranton Convention. Certificates of tho nominations of candi-dates under the provisions of tho Baker ballot law must bo filed with the Secretary of State fifty-six days before the election, and the time limit expires next Monday. Up to date both Chairmen Reoder and Wright have been dovoting their best energies to this end, in order that the terms of tho law shall be complied with, and their efforts have resulted in a general attontion to tho subject all over tho State. "Wo lack but threo Congressional districts and four Legislative nominations to round out our lists," said General Reeder last evening, ''and oddly enough the Legislative districts aro in minority countios. The certificates may come by any mail, In any event tho Republican organization is fortunate, but it required hard work to secure that result." The last Republican certificates to Teach Chairman Reeder were from this city and comprised tho nominations made by this week's conventions. They were forwarded to Hnrrisburg yesterday and are now on file. Democratic, Chairman Wright was in Al-lontown yesterday, where the bulk of Democratic campaign work is done, lie reports a fairly clean record on the certificate lino, although a number found their way tol Kii Penu Square yesterday, in a few of which imperfections existed. As a rule, the various county chairmen have supervised the, lists, and no delay has been permitted in filing. MR. HENPEI. TO DEt'IDE THE BALLOT." The form of ballot to be voted is still unsettled, and will be until Attorney General Hensel gives an opinion in the premises, the subject having been referred to him for disposition after last Tuesday's conference between the three Statochairmcn and Secretary of State Harrity. " I have uot at any time thought Mr. Harrity prepared a ballot for lhe purpose of invalidating this State's electoral vote." said Mr. Reeder, "and I do not think Mr. Wright has avoided the question, as some statements have it. We have had a conference, alter two or three weeks' delay, to be sure, but it requires time to get busy men together. "Tho ballot is defective, in my opinion, because it directs that a single cross opposite the name at the head of the ticket is sufficient to indicate that the voter intended to vote a straight ticket. The cross or mark, it appears to me, should not only bo opposite the party name, but also opposite eacli group such as national, State and county. That is my contention and it is the view taken by a number of able legal minds. "The Attorney General, however, will decide the question at issue in a few days." CLL'RS IN LINE FOR PCRANTON. Secretary John D. Worman, of the Democratic Society, has tho run of business at Democratic headquarters just now. The first letter in bis mail yesterday told about! the organization of the Jackson Club at Danville, thirty-seven strong, with John L. Russell as the president.
