of the authorities that they fell into de-
spair and at last came to the conclusion
that their only safety was in flight from
Russia.
secutions to which the Jews are subjected
in various provinces of the Cxars empire.
Other. facts on the subject are given by
Stepniak.
The jews must pay the ordinary taxes
and render service in the army; but the
civil rights that are given to other races
are denied them. Their presence 10 barely
tolerated in any part of the empire. and
they are constantly made to feel that they
are regarded as outcasts and criminals.
Local officials. taking their cue from st.
Petersburg often issne orders and circulars
that are calculated to arouse anti-Jewish
preiudices.
The carrying out of the desire of Russian
Jews to obtain education is thwarted by
the governments Only 5 per cent. of the
students in any college can be Jews, and
only per cent. In any university, and
there are many academies that no Jew can
enter. The Jewish students who obtain
degrees are not permitted to enter the pro-
f-ssions for which they are qualified, and
jews cannot be engineers. or lawyers. or
military surgeons.
The Jews have no right Of residence in
Siberia, but some of them have legally ac-
quired that privilege. and Stepniak tells of
the wrongs to which they are there sub
iected.
He says that there are between four and
five millions of Jews within the boundaries
of Russia, and that the few rights which
they have been granted are constantly vio-
lated in many ways.
More than 10000 Jews, mostly from Rus
sia. have found refuge in the port of New
York this year, and over half of them have
sought relief or employment through the
United Hebrew Charities which organiza-
tion has expended over $4,000 since Janu-
ary last.
The flight of Russian Jews to Brazil is
even greater than to this country. In the
first week of the present month there were
11.000 of them in Bremen awaiting trans
portation to the new republic in South
America.
In England there is widespread sympathy
for the sufferers. There is to be an i'm
pOrtant demonstration In their behalf in
London. at the Mansion House. on the oath

the LORD Mayor and among the slgners of

nent citizens.

Nicknames and Popularity.
Eugene Fields London Letter.

How came the British public to call the
Earl of Beaeonsheld by the familiar pet
name of Dizzyi That is. the question
which we find going the rounds of the press
Just now. The answer would seem easy
enough: natural diminutive of the name
is "Dizzy;" moreover, the foppish attire of
the man. his dandyfied manner and the ex-
traordiny mode in which he wore his care
fully curled and OILED hair would seem to
suggest to the keen. if not humorous OBJ
server singular appropriateness in the
nickname of "Dizzy." Sir Stafford North
cote may have been the first to make use of
this endearing diminutive, yet when Sir
Stafford came to know Disraeli better or
moro intimately he made practice of call,
says Mr.. Fronde. that man is liked IN
England than the adoption of a pet name
for him." Lord Randolph Churchill is
commonly known as Randy" and there is
no gainsayine his great popularity. Sir
Horace Davy 10 supposed to have given TO
Gladstone the Distinguishing title of the
grand old man." but at that time Glad.
stone was in fact an old man, and had never
before been known by any endearing pet
name or nickname.

THE JEWS OF RUSSIA.
The Hard Times That They Have Under the
Rule of the Czar.

Sergius Stepniak, the Russian writer,
who Is expected to visit this cOutry on
lecturipg tour. has an essay Oh THE Jews
of Russia" in q London magazine entitled
Free Russia, which, according to his own
announcement, is the Organ of the En-
glsh Society of Friends of Russian Free
DOM" He shows the nature of the perse-
cutions under which the Jewish subjects
of the Car are suffering. and gives some
details that indicate his familiarity with
the question of which he treats.
Stepniak says that the edicts of 1882
which prohibited jews from living in rural
districts, and confined their residence to q
few small towns, were not enforced at the
time they were issued; and when the gov
ernment determined upon their enforce
mrnt. in August last, it was prevented from
doing so by the remonstrsnces that were
sent to 1t from various countries of Europe
and from the United States. But apart
from these edicts, the condition of the Jews
has been made almost intolerable by the ac-
tiOn of the authorities in those provinces in
which Jews are permitted to reside. For
example, IN July last, the marshal of
nobility of the province of MOghilev
summoned the chief men of the Jews there
TO hear an order of the Governor providing
for rigorous measures against Jewish de-
pravity." After they had listened with
bated breath TO the reading Of this order
nobility that he had been invested with
new powers and he warned them against
the continued perpetration of the offenses
of which they had been accused. He told
them that they belonged to quarrel lsome
and self-conceited race; that they were
given to money grabbing; that they were
disrespectfui to the authorities; that
they were constantly bringing trouble
upon the people of the soil; and
they wonld be logged for every offe nse in
the public market place. When the Jews
were permitted to reply they protested that
they had always been we'll behaved and
against them had been repeated they were
peremptorily dismissed. Soon afterward q
Jewish deputation visited the marshal of
nobility To beg him to vouchsafe an expla-
nation and to ask for what offenses they
ceive the depuration. The Jews were
SO terrified by the menaces and the action

Bishop of Lincoln Found Guilty of Violating
Church Of England Rules.
LONDON. Nov. 21.-The Archbishop of
Canterbury has delivered judgment against
Rev. DIR. Edward King Bishopof Lincoln,
who was charged with rituslistIc practices
regarding the jurisdiction of the ecclesias-
ticaI court and his obligation to obey the
rubrical directions in the parish book. The
Archbishop suspended judgment in regard
to the Bishops rubrical irregularities. The
mixing water with the wine used in the act
of conservation. the Archbishop holds,
infringed the law of the church, but the
use of mixed chalice prepared beforehand
did not offend the ecclesiastical law. The
charge against the Bishop regarding ablu-
tion was dismissed, il not being supported
by the evidence. The Archbishop decided
that DR.. Kings action in turning his face
TO the east during communion, and thus
making his manual acts invisible, was ille-
gal. The acts must be visible to the con-
gregation. The singing of the hymn
'Agnus Del" during communion was not
illegal.
The Archbishop holds that the placing of
lighted candles upon the alta-, for cere-
mony, during the service, when they are
not needed for light. is not illegal, althou Oh
such act Is distasteful TO many cOmmuni-
cants. The bishop. he says. is quite un-
