THts JEWS.
The town Of Bethlehem, III Palestine,
is now lighted with gas, and d road Is
to be made from the town to the t NIB
of Rachael. The cruel decree By which
foreign Jews are forbidden TO take up
their abode in Jerusalem, is at prese'''
carried cut with extreme rigor. E er
Jew who enters the Holy CITY b 40
give bail that he will depart within
thirty days. Is it not marvel that
the whole Protestant world does not
protest against the wicked edict, and
another conspicuous instance of the Sc
of great wealth tor NOBLE ends. Baron
Hirsch has given $40, 600, GOO to found in
children, and $500 600 TO be at tn Cars
disposal for charitable obiec-s. The
Gar has signed the acceptance. The
school fund will afford instruction to
probably $4,000 children. This is one
OF the largest if not the very largest
gift made for a philanthrooic object of
which we have any record. Ole of h.
marvellous to Us is that ore men OF
wealth do not with eager ~ and en-
tnuslasm seize the OPP ortun ties that
open to them to use their wealth for
such ends or enduring good TO human
ity.
RABBI HIRsCH.

following graphic portrait OF DR.
Hirsch, minister of the Sinai Congrega.

Temple. had been indulging in this
hope for a long time. The Chicago
Gentle who has not heard Rabbi
Hirsch should not any longer postpone
doing so. Let me assure them that
there is nothing in the ssrvice at Siuai
which the most or hOduX cannot VIII
ness and participate in with the same
feeling which he would have in hi,
own church. Rabbi hIrsch Is au lm-
to be so. The first impr s ion, which is
correct, that hr is of Hebrew extrac-

be said yesterday, has had to shoulder
the blood of Golgotha for the past
eighteen hundred years.

THE CROWN PRINCE.
Very deep feeling is manifested il
England, as Throughout Europe, for the
Crown Prince of Germany. The JetU-
ish Chronicle gratefully recalls his OPP
position to the "Antl-Semitic' move
ment, which he described as a bl " nn
German culture" In 1879 De visited
Berlin synagogue, and was present
at a CHAIR able concert with the ex-
press view, as he himself stated, of
proving his objection to the Jew-hatine
manifestation and in 1880 he ackuow-
