Paul's Church by the Sea April NEW KIND OF EMANCIPATION Rabbi Warns Against Undue Exaltation Of Education As Guarantee Against Tyranny Of Mind. The Feast of the Passover, which continues eight days and Is observed with special solemnity at the beginning and close, came to an end Friday evening, but was again made the topic for sermons In the temples yesterday morning. "Freedom, the Beginning," was the subject of Rev. Dr. William Rosenau's sermon at Eutaw Place Temple.

He said: "Wondrous, indeed, are both the event our Passover commemorates and the truths It teaches. WMIp by means of ancient Israel's emancipation from Egyptian bondage our festival declares freedom to be the right of all men, it proves the grant of freedom to be but the beginning of a more precious blessing. I refer to the formation of Israel into a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Destined for so lofty a place in the economy of mankind. It was compelled to perform a threefold responsibility.

Israel had to protect Its freedom against renewed enthrallment. It had to rise to the height of freedom's possibility. It had to guard against freedom's abuse. "Unless the Immortal lawgiver had pointed out this duty by word and act, the ulterior purpose he had in mind would never have been realized. Freedom in itself has never yet been all-sufficient.

Wheresoever It was regarded as such it has ever proven Itself a forerunner of another slavery, the first step to degeneration and the cause of untold evil. The best Illustration of the defeat of freedom's aim is certainly the French Revolution. Instead of righting existing conditions it made them worse. "We hear today a great deal of an emancipation of another kind the emancipation from unwarranted authority, with education as the redeemer. Who that contemplates the spread of knowledge does not at first thought feel that never again will tyrant hold In subjection the human mind.

This feeling would be justified, provided liberated humanity recognized its obligation. Many minds, apparently unfettered, are, however, unconsciously drifting into a servitude but little better than that from which they have emerged. They have not the Independence to resist the latest tyrannizing intellectual fad. They think they have done enough by having torn away from accepted traditional fallacies. They believe themselves warranted to turn a deaf ear to all higher authority.

This Is especially so In the realm of religion. What we must guard against is the illiberalism of liberalism. We need to be free, but, being free, we need to make the most of our freedom." PASSOVER HAS MESSAGE Dr. Rubenstein Says It Is Monument Of Divine Providence. Rev.

Dr. C. A. Rubenstein took for his subject at Har Sinai Temple yesterday morning "Divine Providence." Discoursing upon it, he said: "The Feast of Passover Is a monument of divine Providence. It will tell to future generations, as It did to the generations past, of the wonderful deliverance oT an oppressed people.

Such a monument remains for all time immovable. Hebraic legislation may be attacked by the ultra scientists of our day as coining from codes antecedent to Moses, but the real spiritual message It has for the world can never be touched. This Feast of Passover Itforms our minds with truth, despite all archaeological investigations. "What makes this holiday season worthy of our observance is that it teaches us of the nplift given to mankind under divine Providence. With such a teaching, the day passes out of the possession of our people to become a holiday for all mankind.

The lesson it conveys Is not tribal or racial, but universal. True, according to the Biblical author, the work of Heaven for which the Feast of Passover has been instituted was done for the benefit of the Israelites. That was the way the writers of the Bible had for accounting for great facts. They always connected them with the origin and growth of Israel. But we have learned to put a broader interpretation on the truths contained in the Bible.

In this special help from God we recognize thfft superior force which is forever breaking the chains of oppression, forever freeing mankind. Israel's redemption was a forerunner of that universal salvation which is brounded by no tribal line that formed the theme of; Israel's prophets. "It Is this spiritual truth incorporated in the Feast of Passover which makes this day a universal holiday in the most proper sense. It is significant of the fundamental religious thought that men are helped by a power that is universal and constant. "Israel is saved by the Lord with eternal salvation" are the prophet's words.

It Is prophetic testimony of the truth that the salvation of mankind can be effected only by the help of God. "Love, truth and justice, those divine agencies that have brought about thus far a bettermen of human conditions, will in the future bring man to the very throne of God. Passover is symbolic of the redemption which shall open for the human family the land of divine promise, flowing with, the waters of pure life, spreading out infinitely In the sunlight of God's presence." PRIESTESSES OF THE HOME Rev. Dr. Schneeberger On What Women Should Never Give Up.

Rev. Dr. Henry W. Schneeberger paid an eloquent tribute to women in his sermon yesterday morning at McCulloh Street Synagogue. He said: "The Talmud tells us that for the sake of the virtuous women of that age our fathers were liberated from Egyptian bondage.

The Bible does not bestow upon women the solemn functions of priesthood, which exclusively belong to men; but a graceful office Is reserved for her. She Is to be the priestess of her home. Upon her alone It depends for the Jewish houses to become houses of prayer houses In which our religious observances pre performed thoroughly, exactly, sincerely houses of practical morality and real virtue. "Woman's energy and activity need not be confined to the home. In a country like this woman's horizon need not be bounded by the thought of matrimony.

They should be so educated that If needful they may be enabled to earn an honorable livelihood for themselves, dependent solely on their own brains and their "fingers. The results of university examinations show most strikingly that in intellectual competition there Is perfect equality between the sexes. It is her mission to cherish also the quality of compassion In the human, heart and by her trained skill and Intuitive tact to make the ministrations of the community to the poor and Ignorant a blessing and a joy. "But In all her undertakings the mainspring of her deeds and words must be the fear of God, the love and reverence of Him, an earnest, deep and ennobling sense of piety. There Is one thing which the n.ew girlhood must never give up true and genuine womanliness.

She must shun as rigorously as ever before unworthy companionship, unwholesome words and degrading environments. On her lips must be the law of kindness. They must never be disgraced by malicious slander or even idle gossip. To the maidens I would say: la all your undertakings. In all you seek to accomplish ask the advice of your parents.

Be guided by their mellow experience, gained in many a sad trial. No amount of knowledge you possess can absolve you from the olden duty of filial respect, the olden joy of filial obedience. "And to the mothers I would say: Cultivate the most perfect friendship with your daughters. Trust them and they will trust you. Then ever as it'was in the days of old, even as It was by the merit of the pious women that our ancestors were redeemed from Egypt, so will the men of the present age be roused out of their irre-liglon, their apathy and their lack of spirituality by the influence of noble-minded women."

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, April 18. That weaknesses of a serious character exist In the material of the navy cannot, iu' the opinion of several naval officers of prominence, longer be overlooked.

The many recent accidents te modern vessels and to the high-power guns have done a great deal to awaken officers of the department holding 'sitlons of responsibility to the' fact thut there seems to be something radically wrong in the ideas of naval construction being followed by the United States. It has long been a subject of discussion by the naval experts abroad tow the United States could safely mount such extraordinarily powerful batteries on comparatively light ships, and, according to at least one of the officers of the Board of Construction, the recent accident to the new battleship Maine shows conclusively that the foreigners and not the American naval authorities have been correct in the designs for their new ships. In speaking to a correspondent of The Sun today this officer said: "For the last 10 years there has been little improvement made in the strength of the 12 and 13 Inch guns built for our navy. It is true that the breech mechanism of these guns and some of the other details of the firing mechanism" have been improved, but it Is certain thai there has not been a corresponding increase in the strength of these guns with the rapid development of tne powders. It is a significant fact, I think, that there is not a naval power in Europe that does not place (the United States last in the efficiency and endurance of its naval guns, even though they do not, respectively, place themselves first.

The efficiency of our men, Qf our officers and of our marksmanship is generally "given a high place, but no one can account for the explosion of the gun on the Iowa with the statement that the gun was not built sufficiently strong to withstand the continued use of smokeless powder." ii Fired Frequently. The fact is ascertained from the Ordnance Bureau of the navy that the gun which exploded on the Iowa had been fired more times than nearly any gun of the like size in the navy. The records up to January 1, 1003, show that the 12-inch guns on the Monterey had been fired 54 and 58 times, respectively; those on the Texas 121 and 108 times, respectively; those on the Puritan, 28, 15, 11 and 23 times, respectively, and those on the Iowa, 125, 82, 71 and 72 times, respectively. The gun which burst on the Iowa before It was placed on that ship had been used for testing powders, projectiles and armor plate at the Indian Head Proving Grounds. The records also show that the lSnch guns on the Indiana had been fired, up to January 1, 1903, 78, 71, G5 and 64 times, respectively; those on the Oregon 66, 58, 32 and 37 timeSj respectively, and those on the Massachusetts 70, 76, 65 and 69 times, respectively.

The accident to the Iowa's gun, after having been fired 127 times, may. bring the officials of the department to a realization of the necessity of replacing many of the old guns with stronger pieces. The big guns used abroad are longer in the barrel than the American weapons, and are considered better able to withstand the pressure exerted on the piece in the use of the high-powered smokeless powders. May Reduce Firing. It Is understood that Rear-Admiral Chas.

O'Neil, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, will recommend to Secretary of the Navy Moody that the number of rounds fired on board the vessels be curtailed. The department Is determined that the efficiency of the marksmanship of the men he maintained at the highest standard, but there is no doubt that the appropriation set aside for tbis purpose will be exceeded each year If the present rate of target-practice firing is continued. The question of boilers for the new ships is causing great concern among naval authorities here. As a result of the report made by the chief engineer of the Mains on the Niclausse boilers in that vessel, which were placed, much against the urgent recommendations of Rear-Admiral Melville, Engineer-In-Chief of the Navy, the Navy Department now realizes that this type of boiler has failed, not only on the Maine, but also on the German ship Gazelle and on two Russian vessels built in the United States. The circulation of the water in the Niclausse boiler.oiaval authorities agree, is ail right at low stages of combustion, but it has recently been proved in the case of the Maine that it cannot be fired as other boilers can.

It is claimed that the use of this boiler will reduce the speed of a normally 18-knot battleship to about 13 knots. To Go On More Ships. The serious part of the boiler question, In the opinion of the department, is the fact that the Niclausse boiler is being placed on the following ships now under construction: the Pennsylvania. Georgia, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada. When tbis boiler was authorized for these ships by the Board on Construction the only member who voted against their use was Rear-Admiral George W.

Melville. What attion on the question will be taken now cannot be stated definitely, but it is known that Secretary Moody agrees wholly with Admiral Melville that the type has proved a failure for modern ships-of-war. SMUGGLING AT MANILA? Quartermaster Captain Was On Trial On That Charsre. Washington, April 18. Capt.

Harry B. Chamberlain, of the Quartermaster Department, has been on trial in Manila on a charge of smuggling silks and curios Into Manila. When the army transport Seward re turned to Manila from Hongkong on March 10 Collector of Customs Shuster, having been informed by a seaman that a quantity of goods on board the transport would not be declared, investigated and, it is alleged, found some articles In what appeared to be a false locker about the smokestack and in the pantry. Some of the boxes. It Is said, were addressed to Captain Chamberlain, the quartermaster of the vessel, and others, to other officers, the remainder being addressed to the wife of an army officer on duty in Manila.

Collector Shuster had Captain Chamberlain taken before the Court of Customs Appeal, the trial being set for March 12, the result of which has not been learned here. Captain Chamberlain was relieved from duty. It is stated that the goods alleged to have been brought in on the Seward which were discovered by the customs officials were Intended for the private use of army officers and not for the purpose of sale.

1 Major C. L. Best's Funeral. Washington, April 18. The body of Major Clermont L.

Best, of the Artillery Corps, who died at Fort Monroe a few days ago, arrived here this morning and was buried in the National Cemetery at Arlington with military honors. a particular port, and on arriving meets a ship under command of an officer but one file senior, the former dare not anchor until, by exchange of signals, he has obtained the permission of the senior commander to do so. When a commissioned officer leaves a ship a boatswain's mate and several small sailor boys 'tend the side" i. as this officer steps over the side the boys raise their hats and the boatswain blows his whistla. Upon a certain occasion a rear-admiral was obliged to fly his flag on a small ship the Marion which had only a single cabin.

The admiral occupied the port side of the cabin and the captain the starboard side. An imaginary partition was extended longitudinally through the cabin, so that the admiral and the captain were officially separated. An orderly was at the admiral's door, another orderly was at the captain's door. And when the admiral and the captain were seated 12 feet apart, in plain view of each other, the imaginary partition officially made them unconscious of each other's proximity. When the admiral desired to see the captain he rang his bell.

The orderly appeared. "My compliments to the captain, and say I'd like to see him." The orderly v.ent out through the port door, crossed the deck, a distance of 12 or 15 feet, entered the starboard door, and, with a salute, repeated his message. The captain, having heard It all, went out of his door, entered the admiral's door, made his salute and received hi3 instructions. At noon the captain would ring his bell, bring his orderly and instruct him to ask permission of the admiral to make It 8 which was, of course, granted, through strictly official channels. It Is popularly believed that the sun and nioon stood still In obedience to a command of Joshua; but it is known that 8 bells at noon cannot be struck until the senior officer confirms it.

These are but forms, however, and constitute, only one kind of etiquette. The impulses, abolitions and affections of seafaring men do not differ from those of soldiers. Every naval officer longs to "fly flag;" to exercise the right of command. When he has commanded a ship he looks forward to the day when he may fly the broad pennant of the commander of a fleet. He is looking forward to the time he may distinguish himself and retire.

the highest laurels. During the Civil War a lieutenant named Tyffe was executive officer on board a monitor stationed in the James river. During an engagement, when the boat was within 300 feet of the fort, the commanding officer, discovering something on deck which demanded Immediate attention, gave the order to attend to it. Tonis surprise the lieutenant sprang through the port, exposing himself to infantry fire. The Confederate captain gallantly ordered his men to cease firing, and they held their fire until Tyffe had finished his mission and returned to the turret.

The commander asked Tyffe why he exposed himself in preference to sending one of the men. He replied that he had less to lose. "Both the enlisted men here in the turret have wives and children. I have neither. My death would make neither a widow nor an orphan." Tears after Tyffe was "in the nine hole." He served on the verge of retirement, standing No.

1 on the list of commodores. Then it was that Admiral Skerrett remembered the heroic acts of Tyffe and voluntarily retired, making a vacancy for him in the admiral's grade. This wasTyffe's last reward. He, in turn, retired, for in a few days, making a vacancy for Commodore Stanton, who was promooted and retired, making a vacancy for the gallant Erben. All this was regarded as gallant courtesy.

This same magnanimous spirit was exhibited three years ago in the case of the gallant John Wilson, chief of engineers, who voluntarily retired that Colonel Craighill might succeed him and retire with the highest rank in his corps. And now comes the retirement of the Inspector-General, John C. Breckinridge, which retirement promote Colonel Vroom, who also retires by age with the highest rank in the corps. The mantle of etiquette which has thus fallen on the army is already stimulating a fraternal feeling of mutual satisfaction, If not admiration. General Corbln Goes West Today.

"Well, I thought you did. Don't yon know that ticket agent charged you $1 too much? Here, give it to me and I'll get that $1 for you." This was said in such a kindly, fatherly tone that Moss immediately handed the ticket to the man, who started in the direction of the ticket window.
