Bells and Whistles Tell of
Mechanicsburg's Response
j Meehanicsburg. Pa.. Oct. 21.
Clanging of church and fire bells,
with the shriek of whistles from the
industrial plrfnts, proclaimed to the
people of Meehanicsburg that the
town had again responded to the
• country's call and had gone "o\er
the top" in the Fourth Liberty Loan,
on Saturday evening about 8 o'clock.
In a determined effort to bring
j about this result, men and women
on committees in this place have
! been working almost night and day
! the past week. All of Saturday 1n
! terested workers did practically
I nothing else, but when announce-
I raent was made that Meehanicsburg
I had kept .its traditions and did not
j "break faith" with her brave sons
| who are battling for the freedom of
| the world, everywhere there was
general rejoicing.
Although the town was shut tight,
and there was no place in which
people could congregate to discuss
the good nevv'i yet in all directions
were little knots of men and women
eagerly talking of the splendid re
sult.
Mcchanicsburg's quota was $279,-
500, and although it is certain the
town went well beyond these figures,
yet the exact sum cannot be given
at this time. It is thought the
amount approximates $290,000, how
ever.

Strangers Wed in Cemetery
to Ward OR Grip Epidemic
Philadelphia. Oct. 21,—With the ,
hope of protecting the Orthodox'
Russian Jews of Philadelphia from ;
further ravages of the- influenza epi- ;
deniic, Harry Rosenberg, "11 South;
Fourth street, was married to Mrs.
Fanny Jacobs at the first line of 1
graves in the Jewish cemetery, Cem- '
etery line near Cobb's Creek, at 2 |
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
With the grim white and gray
tombstones and monuments as back- ,
ground, more than 1,200 Russian j
Jews, in silence and awe, watched
j Rabbi Lipschutz perform the wed- |
Iding ceremony.
A"nd when, amid their stark sur
roundings the couple were pronounc
ed man and wife, the orthodox
among the spectators filed -solemnly
'past the couple and made them pres
ents of money in sums ranging from
ten cents to a hundred dollars, ac
cording to the means and circum
stances of the donor, until more
than $l,OOO had been given.
I The last monetary offering made
the bride and bridegroom walked to
the greensward further from the
graves, where a wedding feast was
quickly spread from the two truck
loads of food which others of the
faithful had provided.
This marriage in a cemetety, with
the idea of warding off the ravages
of an epidemic, is a revival of a cus
tom which has prevailed for hun
dreds of years among the jews in the
heart of Russia. The participants in
the ceremony say that when Russia
was swept by cholera several cen
turies ago Jews died by the hun
jdreds. Panic seized them and a coun
cil of elders and rabbies was called.
I They decided that the attention of
God would be called to the affliction
of their fellows if the most humble
man and woman among them should
join in marriage in the presence of
the dead.
