awarding of the contract for the improve
ment of Monroe street between First and

payers representing $50 feet of the pro-
posed improvement wanted the contract
awarded to Cramer. Others representing
125 feet wanted il awarded to Patrick.
Councilman Kelly favored Cramer and

not over twelve years OF age, entered the

Venerable CeIehrant.

The venerable and gray haired mem
hers of "The Oldest Inhabitants" cele-
brated the day In fitting manner in
their rooms in the Corcoran building
this morning. Nearly all the members
of this historic association were present
when the business meeting, which was
held previous to the public meeting,
was called to order AT that time
probably five hundred years of life were
represented. John Marbury presided.
Henry Rupert and John Miller,
who were born in 1929, and John Ar
dieser, who first saw the light in 1929,
were elected to membership, and the
application of Henry Tolson Stewart
for the same position of honor, was
placed on file. President Marbury
then spoke of a letter he had re
ceived from n gentleman who wanted
the members of the Oldest Inhabitants
to parade up Pennsylvania avenue be-
hind band of music. He thought this
would be the proper manner in which
celebrate the day, but those present
at to.day's meeting, evidently did not,
for they heartily applauded the presl-
dent when he announced that he ha |
rejected the suggestion.

TALMAGE AS A FINANCIER.

When DIR. Talmage came to Brooklyn,
nearly twenty years ago, he received only a
small salary, $500 year.
The figure was raised to 81, 900, on which
he subsisted for several years, when it was
raised to $4,000, where it has remained for
twelve years.
All told the Tabernacle congregation has
paid DIR. Talmage not more than $l75 900
salary, on which he has lived and supported
town and country residence.
His outside earnings have steadily in
creased from year to year until $4,000
will about cover the entire amount,
DIR. Talmage's country place at East
hampton, /. l., is valued at 20,000.
He bought the handsome residence in
which he lives, at South oxford street and
DeKalb avenue, a few years after his ar
rival in Brooklyn and while yet poor. He
paid about So, 900 cash and got easy terms
on R30, 900 mortgage. The house is now
all paid for, and is worth, with its con-
tents, 100000. The furnishings are ex-
pensive and beautiful.
For many years DR., Talmage has invested
all of his surplus money in five per cent.
mortgages. At time of writing he has
$4,000 invested in good mortgages on
Brooklyn real estate. He embarked in
mortgages in 1882, and has been steadily

1t is at Last Arousing Them to De-
fensive Organization.
LONDON, Feb. 22.--Tbe unrelenting war
fare against the Hebrew race in Russia and
the intermittent anti Semitic crusade In
Germany and other countries have led to
proposals for meeting of prominent and
representative European Jews, to which 1t
that race will also be invited
at Amsterdam or some other
city in small nationality in the course OF
the coming summer. The principal meas
ure to be discussed will undoubtedly be
the raising of fund to be devoted to the
protection of their brethren from the
prosecutions and inviduous distinctions to
which they are now subjected in the ma
iority of countries throughout the world,
Baron llirsch has promised to attend
such congress, if it takes place. and 1t is
confidently said that the storm of indigna-
tion aroused by his famous pamphlet of
last year, wherein he practically urged the
assimilation of the Jews with the people
among whom they dwell has convinced
him that the spirit of the race is almost at
present subdued.
This being the case, he is of the opinion
that the only course is for the Jews to fight
in every possible manner for their rights,
using largely the press and persistent per
sonal appeals to persons exalted by position
and reputed for justice and humanity.
The apparently implacable attitude of
Russia toward the Hebrew race has led to
enormous losses among the shop-keepers
and money-lenders in the different prov
inces, where the debtors openly defy
the hated Jews, whose expulsion
they deem Il temporary intervention
| of Providence in their behalf. The thirty
lawyers Just eXiled from Odessa were

mercial city, and by their departure more

slightest discussion, was referred to a
special committee, and it will probably
be adopted at the next meeting.
There was q hearty burst of assent
when Mr.. Marbury suggested that the
association present to Mr. Thompson
gold headed cnne on the occasion of the
celebration of his golden wedding,
which will take place at his
residence, 14l5 @ street north
west, on the evening of March 4,
next. Before anything could be said
on the suggestion Mr.. Thompson
wanted all the members Of the sssocia-
tiOn to come TO his house on that night
and help him celebrate.
He failed, however, to make the
members forget about the suggestion,
and Il is probable that he will receive
the cane, which will convey to him the
esteem in which he is held by his fel-
low members.
