NEW YORK, Oct. 23.--To the average
American the word "Jew' or Hebrew"
conveys very definite idea. 1t presents
before his mind the general type of the
German jew who has settled in every
town and city OF the Union, and who in
the course OF years has become as Ameri-
can in his habits aud ideas as a Knicker-
booker or Puritan. Nothing, however,
is further from the truth. However no.
mogeneous the Hebrew nation may have
been two thousand years ago, it is the
very opposite to-day The jew of Sweden
and Finl and is in nearly all cases brill
liant cOlored, hlue-eyed and gOlden-haired
blonde; of Denmark and Warsaw FIRE.
quently as red-heRded and red-eyed as a
Highlander, while of Abyssinia and Mad
agasoar as black as any Hottentot. So
far as compilations make races the Jewish
people include at least five distinct types
of physical manhood. OF these types the
American has become familiar with but
one, the German jew, as described. In
New York CITY he is rapidly beginning to
know second and very different type, the
Polak and SloVak. This is the jew that
has been developed under Slayonic rule
during ten or twelve centuries. Though
| of the same origin he is asditferent from his
German brother as the Irish are from the
| French. The difference has been caused
| by political factors. The Slay from time
| immemorIal has heen cruel, suspicious,
intolerant and brutal. Whether in Rus.
| STA, Poland, Hungary or the Balkan prin-
| cipalities, he has treated the Hebrew
worse than the widest wild beast. The
story of Jewish life in these lands reads
worse than the darkest tale of the Spanish
| inquisition. If rich, the Hebrew was
robbed by every Christian nelghbor; il
the father OF handsome daughter or the
husband of beautiful wife he was liable
! TO lose,one or the other at the slightest
| within Of any one in authority; II the owner
| of farm or an attractive home, he was
| dispossessed at an instant's notice by some
| grasping official or avaricious noble. In
| addition he was beaten, stabbed, shot,
| stoned, roasted aud hanged with a regu-
larity that has never been paralleled.

it promises as we'll as that Of any other
nationality.
The Slavonic Jew shares with his race
the love for musical and dramatic enter
tainments. But these must be cheap. He
has his own theatre, the Oriental, on the
Rowery, near Grand street, where plays
are given in Hebrew and sometimes in
Polish. The admission costs 10 cents,
while for 10 or 20 cents a very good seat is
obtainable. The plays are mainly Scrip
tural in Characteristic stories of Joseph
and his brethren. Judas Maccabeus and
David being prime favorItes. He has
any number of small music halls, where
beer, music and bad cigars are the chief
characteristics. In many of these the
walters, singers ana actresses are young
Jewesses, none of whom have seen more
than twenty years OF life, but all OF
whom are senile in sin. Dissipation in
these queer little dens is inexpensive.
Two glasses OF beer, q cigar, hard boiled
egg and some rye bread suffice for an
evening and cost in all but 20 cents. The
music and acting are at times admirable.
The Poiak has a natural aptitude for
melodic expression, like all his race, and
adds to it the harmonic genius now made
by Liszt and Chopin. 1t is no
uncommon event to hear in an Allen
street dive Hungarian rhapsody or the
Cavalry polonalse.

A STORY BY j. Fl. CONNOLLY.
Copyrighted, 1851

Copyrighted, 1851
Joseph Ladue, NJ. D., was practicing
musician before the war of secession in
pretty little Southern town, but, for
tunately for himself and his neighbors,
was not dependent upon his practice.
Three wears before the date of the Incl
dents about to be narrated he had met, at
the White Sulphur Springs, Miss Della
Webster. the only daughter of rich
planter. and after briet courtship made
her his wife. Their union was an unhap-
py one. He was a good-looking fellow,
Quick witted, fairly well educated and
specifically a gentleman, but devoid OF
moral principle and addicted to selfish and
vicious pleasures, IN which he had dissi-
pated the liberal fortune inherited from
his rather. His marriage was simply to
get money, and though he made love ar
IDENTITY to the unfortunate girl who became
his wife he secretly detested her as the un-
welcome burden he had to take In order to
get possession OF her wealth. She deserved
the love of better man than DR.. Ladue.
On her side the match was one of love,
and her trusttul, afectionate disposition
readily beguiled her into full belle that
her love was returned.
In less than a year after marriage she
was undeceived. Her nusba nd neglect
ed her, and all his behavior toward her
was marked by cold indifference, except
when he wished to cajOle her into signing
the deeds of sOma Micro af nronartv tho
he had arranged to dispose of, that he
might squander the proceeds in dissipa-
ton and vice. SO easy was her cOmpli-
ance with his repeated demands of that
nature that he came to regard il as quite
a matter of course that she would sign
whatever he asked her TO. Then he
made the blunder OF thinking it no longer
necessary to even pretend to make love
10 her even IN robbing her. To his sur
prise she rebelied. He ordered her to
sign deed and she refused. She did not
mean to refuse altogether, but Just to de-
lay consent long enough to make him sue
her In words that her heart longed for,
even though her brain told her that they
were forced and false. But he was in
Iaste to get the money, had no time to
wave IN what he deemed "foolishness,"
ana In his lrritated surprise spoke TO her
more sharply and. as she deemed, cruelty
IMAM he ever had before. She, stung by
ms words, retorted in like spirit, and ia
thls. their first real quarrel. each uttered
words that the other would be little likely
Nther to forgive or forget.

Mr.. Yardley was simply mystified when
he came out.
"What does IL all mean?" he asked
with a puzzled expression of counten-
ance.
LET me show you something more
and then see if you cannot understand.
Take this glass and look we'll at those
ashes, holding them up in the strongest
light. Look from one side to catch the
shine of the lines"
Following his directions the druggist
read plainly, in lines that he would swear
were of DIR. Ladue's tracing:
Morph. sulph., grs. y.
He could even make out the date, $40
4I5S."
Fortunately" remarked Renfrew, sit
was written with a heavy copying ink,
and the excess of sugar has left its car
bon trace"
"Tbe scoundrel changed the prescrip-
tionsI He meant to murder his wife and
throw the blame upon mew exclaimed the
druggist excitedly.
Il guess that's about the size of it,"
assented the reporter, calmly, but with
evident Satisfaction in the result of his
demonstration.
I'VE will hang himW
81 doubt it,"
"He deserves it,"
1nat Uon't uouDl. DuJ you see our
evidence Is not sufficient. 1t is morally
for US, but not legally, What we want
now is the paper that contained the mor-
phine, with your label on it. That he no
doubt emptied at his wlfe's bedside. He
would not risk exciting suspicion by
burning it there. He could not dare 10
throw 1t away, even in fragments. The
chances are that he crumpled it up and
stuffed it in his pocket. II he could be ar
rested and searched at once it would
doubtless still be found"

Another mode of living might be styled
club life. A number of Polaks hire a
room from householder, who acts as
landlord, ianitOr and Waterman. They
supply their own sleeping conveDieDces,
a secondhand stove and a few Kitchen
utensils. When night comes each men,
Der of the club cooks his meal In his own
pan. The odors that arise from the mix
turo OF fish, chicken fat, beef, goose grease,
onion, garlic aud Limburger cheese may
be imagined but cannot be described.
In their eating the Mosaic law Ia obeyed
to the very letter. The eel, clam, oyster,
scallOp, crab and lobster are auathema.
So is the hog In every shape. The taboo
extends to any food fried in lard, to fish
chOwder in which bacon is used as fla
vOr. and even to pies and pastry where
lard has been used to Tighten the dough.
Asasubstitute for lard they use chicken
fat goose grease, beef drippings and oleo-
margarine. The last-named article has
grown unpopular since the press showed
that the best butter substitutes contained
''neutral lard"
The foods are the cheapest and poorest
thet can be bought in the market. The
shank aud neck of the animal are favor
ties. These are boiled till the bones are
ready to drop out. The laLtsr are re-
moved, cracked and thrown back into the
pot. The meat is removed put under a
heavy stone TO be compressed and allowed
TO cool. When cold it becomes solid and
is cut and served IN long slices. Fresh
ness is a matter of little account. cheap
ness is everything. Spoiled meat and
putrid fish find multitudes OF buyers in
GOOsetOwn when offered for sale at less
than cents pound. The Board OF
Health makes seizures of these foods
every week but The supply continues new
