Across the Bar The number of prominent co-religionists who have “crossed the bar” this month is unusually large, and many a void difficult to fill has been created. The death of Solomon Hirsch, at one time United States Minister to Turkey, has removed from our midst an excellent worker, and one who interested himself to no small extent in Jewish affairs. Tragic and sad was the death of Mrs. Philip S. Henry, who, whilst affecting the saving of her husband, children and maids, met an untimely end. She was the daughter of the late Leonard Lewisohn. Prof. Gabriel Bamberger, of Chicago, was an educational authority, and his kindly presence will be missed by those over whom he wielded an influence. In Lord Pir-
bright there has passed away a man who once loomed large on the horizon. Better known as Baron Henry de Worms, he held the position of Under Secretary of State for the Colonies in England, and acted as President of the Anglo-Jewish Association. Dr. Englaender, a noted journalist, died in Turin. He was associated for a considerable time with Reuter's Agency in London. The Jewish Community of Prague has suffered a loss by the unexpected death of Dr. Isidor Herrnheiser, a great medical practitioner and a faithful Jew. Berlin regrets the decease of Privy Councillor Dr. Ehrenhaus, who gained the Iron Cross for conspicuous bravery on the field of battle.
The month has not been Literature prolific in new publications. The Publication Society has republished the works of Grace Aguilar. The Jewish Messenger, of New York, is amongst the journals of the past. The reviews and magazines have been remarkably free of Jewish topics.
