WILD NOTES OF ALARM

Sounded by a Russian Newspaper Against
the Hebrews of That Country.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.l
ST. PETERSBURG, March 2.-The Gras-
DAMN says, in the course oil an article on
the Semitic question: Judaism is pro-
ceeding by slow but sure steps to the SUBJ
jugation of Europe by intrigue, knavery
and corruption. 1t advances easily where
the people are ignorant, pliable and apa-
thetic. 1t is, therefore. absolutely neces-
sary to protect the Russians against the
Hebrew conquest by the most radical meas
ures, if we don't wish to see the Israelitish
empire established on our bones"
The Grdsddnin suggests as preventive
measures the refusal of social recognition of
the Hebrews unless they mold first guild
license; that dealings in land should be pro-
hibited, unless the guild licenses them;
that only per cent OF the members of the
councils and clubs may be Hebrews, and
that all Hebrew newspapers be suppressed.

An odd thing about human existence is
history, no matter how interesting they may
be, are not given the light until alter death.
1t is only now becoming known that the
late King of Hollands trouble and sepsra-
tion from his first consort, Sophia, was
caused mainly by the latter's penchant for
musk, which she used in such quantities
that her apartments fairly reeked with it
Old Wilhelm did not take kindly to the
scent at all, in fact, he despised it, hence
the quarrel. Sophia Goes not seem to have
been particularly level headed, or she
would have introduced ''dutch-cheese"
into the royal chambers which would have
brought the old King back TO his first love
with rush, aud they would never again
have been separated.

The Preservation of the Forests.

As it is definitely known now that our
forests are disappearing with dangerous
rapidity, is it not high time that something
practical be done to prevent their entire
obliteration? As check-the method can
not be seriously meant to restore them-on
the depletion of the tree-growths. Arbor
Dav has been instituted in a number OF
States, the children of the schools usually
supplying and planting the young trees.
This is good idea aud should be fostered,
but, would it not be better and more just if
the timber cutters were compelled by law to
plant at least one or more trees for each one
they destroy, and not depend practically on
the efforts If poor little children for the
preservation OF our forests and their benefits

COMING AFTER SMITH.
Boyd, of Canada, Says He Is Anxious to Run
Our Local Sprinter.

Our Local Sprlnter.
Billy Boyd the Canadian sprinter, will shortly
appear in this vicinity with the intention of
securing race with George Smith. Boyd for
some time past has been winning lots of money
in Florida and Georgia by defeating the
champion sprinters of those States. In a letter
to Lyman kaine. of Uniontown, Boyd SAYS that
he intends coming to Pittsburg in the near
future to arrange a race with George Smith if
the latter will run.
Boyd says Smith accredits him with being a
runner on paper and not on the ground, which
the former AYERS is not the case as he will
demonstrate by challenging Smith for 100 or
i50-yard race al Pittsburg for any amount up
to $4,000 side. Boyd says:
Il will either make him run or go into his
hole"
Boyd is now spending the winter in the South,
and has had several races, winning them all
easily. He is in fine fettle and says he is run
ming faster than ever before. A race is to be
run one day this week at Tampa Fla, between
Boyd and a phenomenal sprinter of that
picturesque little city on the bay, and the
Canuck generously stands him out 20 feet in
100 wards The stake is 81, 900 side, aud Boyd
saws sanguinely that he will win easily.
If the Canadian carries out his intention and
lands here, it is safe to say that he will secure
a race. George Smith never has much to saw
but he is good performrr. One or two of the
novices might also be ready to tackle Mr.. BOYD
with little start.
