with tho men and women v ho are rather other cenral diseases 1 Congenital debility . ft
undesirable citizens. John S. Edwards,
who was held without ball by Magistrate
Tracy at the Eleventh and Winter streets
police station today, has had another fall.
Tho underworld considers a fall as
something that business men would styic
a failure.
Kdwards today admitted that Edwaids
was only an assumed name, but that he
had used It for the better part of Ills
life.
His real name, lie stated, was J. 1. V.
Satok and he said that lor the most of
the time since his releas-o from the East
ern Penitentiary ho Uvea at 1513 Noith
Twelfth street.
At the close of the healing Lieutenant
Smiley read a letter from George D. Pot
""tciTTJITSStor of Public Safety, commend
ing Winnie and Kent, policemen, for
causing the urrest of Edwards.
, Edwards was caught attempting to
bieak Into a saloon.
Edwards is an Inventor. He lias made
more money with the "'jimmy" and the
biaco and bit, but tnen. although John
lived off the earnings of Ills burglaries
nrtd safe robbing Job., never boasted of
t'lem but preferred to talk about his In
ventions. Edwards was released several month
ago from the Eastern Penitentiary, alter
serving a sentence for burglary.
He. mi never a model prisoner, but not
withstanding ho won the friendship of
It&beit J. MvKcnty, warden of tho prison.
In 1!HK, while serving a term In the
Eastern Penitentiary for robbery, Ed
wards, with Charles Berger, scaled the
walls. In the Jump from a CO-foot gate
way. Edwaids received a broken leg.
Guards who had teen tho escape came
upon him while they were searching, tho

As far as tho pollco know he has robbed
none but saloonkeepers. IIo says ha was

Edwaids left pilaun lust winter and
went to the young woman's homo to
bu.nd. IIo pnt n.arly overy night out,
but always explained his absence In some
plausible manner. Tho police say that
nvery night he was away front his room
hi was using his "Jimmy" and cold Uiltni
forcing open windows, cash drawers and
nail safes.
All the time Edwards wag planning for
V" marriage with his landlady's daugh

Mail bird" To her he was a meihanie

man was able to tell how much Edward'
supper bill was. what he spent for other
tl,ing3, and all the othei minor details
of life, but fould not tell how Edwards
kept his iioi-ketbook filled and that was
the main thing for "Rob" iJameron, thief
of the Ilurt-au.

Superintendent Carson, of the Zoo, is
surrounding the pair with every &afe
guaid to prevent a repetition of what
happened at the Drcns Zoo, In New

wiped out by tuberculosis. In addition
to being perfectly matched as to size, the
orangs are well mated and so far their
domestic affairs have not been, marred bv
a single "scrap." The exact sum paid
tor the pair has not been divulged, but
Is said to be high. Each animal is two

safety of thoto who are In vvar-rlddcn
Europe.
Theie will be liupplucss and sorrow in
the messages borne to every Jewlth
household today on the New Year cards,
and tho postman, especially In the
Uhetto, will be anxiously awaited.
It Is possible, too, that the conflict
acioss thu tea will llguro largely In the
messages. On account of the toll of
war there are many here waiting with
much foreboding for greetings which
may nevui come.
It will not bo necessary for the letter
carrier to ring tho bell or knock' at the
door of the homes In the Ghetto. Tho
anxious ones theie havo been waiting
too long for the eve of the New Year.
Those loved one abroad who do not
write at anj other time never forget to
send gieetimiH today.
When the evening Htar nukes Its ap
pearance in the heavens tomorrow, thus
marking the beginning of the worship,
those who did not receive the customary
annual Metltig wilt lift their oes to
waid heaven and Invoke the divine Prov
idence to protect those who have sent
their last nicosuges.
Tiie Postoiflce force Is working over
time so that tho mall may be distributed
before the advent (according to the Jew
ish calendar) of the year WTJ.
Tomorrow night at sundown, in accord
ance with an old Jewish custom, the be
loved Jewl'sh grandfather or the oldest
member of the family blesses the rest
of the family before leaving for the syn
ugogue. This custom Is observed in every
orthodox home throughout the world. At
the .sinagoguo all will kneel In prayer,
giving thanks for gifts of the la'st year
and asking divine Jrfesulng fot tho ensu
ing year.
The obot vance of the Jewish New Year
as u holy be.-i3on Is commanded In two
passages of the Kio Hooks of Moses. In
neither passage Is there any specific com
mand as to how tho day Is to be olaerved
beyond tho injunctions to blow the trum
pet, to hold h holy convocation and to
engage In no servilo occupation. The day
is the first of the seventh month or t'io
day of tho new moun of that month.
The new moon was observed as holy
season by the Jew's of old; the seventh
month
the sev
week,
month
sIcmfleanLe of far holler import than the
other new moon days of the year. The
injunction to blow the trumpet on this
day wa's to call the people to lemem
btnnce before tho Lord. This ceremony
of blowing the "shofar" became tho cen
tra! figure of the elaborate tellgious ser
vice conducted on the day.
It is the prevailing idea that on this
day God weighs men's actions In the
scales of justice. New Year''s Day In
the passing of the centuries has thus
come to embody the great religious Ideas
of divine Justice and humun jcspon'sl-bllity.
