sided, great interest was manifested, and
the more prominent Of the Hebrew Amer
leans were present. 1t was voted TO sup
port the Republican ticket solidly.
The executive committee will meet TO-
night to perfect arrangements for the

yor of supporting it in any way a6iliat-
Ing with the Democratic party nor any
votes on that subject.
Mr.. Hahn said be wasn't called upon to
help make up the Democratic ticket, and
he did not feel called upon to help elect it.
It was voted to resent the interference
of Coroner Levy Of Tammany Hall in the
local affairs Of the Hebrew Associations.
An address in German was presented,
which urges all Germans to support the
Republican ticket.
Among those who were present and
spoke were S. and b. Lederer. Mr.. Dimon
and Julius Moral.
"Of course" said one of these gentle
men to-day. "There are always one or
two soreheads in every organization, but
] assure you there are only two or three
of them In ours, and we regard those who
go against their own people as devoid Of

treated Us as the Democratic party has,

six weeks ago when his former pal Eugene

in line. n Democrats saw a solid front
In the Republican army-they noticed the
bad breaks in their own ranks. Then be-
gan the craw-fsh business.
First the Democrats conceded that IL
was not possible to elect any man In oppo-
sition to Senator Aldrich. They couldn't
find a candidate In their party who could
command the respect of the intelligent
members Of the organization.
Then they began TO back down on the
Legislature. and conceded that the Re
branches, which meant no plums for
those who had made themselves weary in
the struggle for recognition ut the hands
Of those who were expected to have the
distribution OF Offices.
Next they began to weaken on the State
ing It on a popular vote, and were figur-
ing on going out Of Providence with from
1880 to $500 majority over all. They felt
elated when they saw the large crowd at
the Providence Opera House Saturday
afternoon. That house seats 1855 people.
A fair estimate OF the Cleveland crowd
When they saw the two great big
bouncing meetings at Music and Infantry
Halls In the evening they weakened again.
Those halls held jointly fully 10000
people. who cheered to the echo every ut
terance Of Gov. Mckinley and ex-Speaker
Reed.

An Attempt Being Made to Influence n
Class NJ Voters.
An attempt Is being made to influence
the Catholic voters in Rhode Island to re-
frain from voting the Republican ticket.
The plan Is to send out sometime to-
morrow circulars pretending to emanate
from Republican headquarters, but at
the request OF British-Americans, which
will lead the readers to infer the British
American voters nave agreed TO stand by
the Republicans on the pledge that the
latter will repudiate all Catholics and
Catholicism generally.
The trick was discovered In time to pre-
vent any harm being done; but IL shows
to what straits the Democrats have be-
come reduced.

ROME, April 4-The question of tho
education OF Roman Catholic children in
the United States il under discussion,
and Rome IL now divided into two great
camps, n Of which says that It is wrong
TO take taxes from Roman Catholics for
schools In which religion il not taught;
that the State, considered merely as .
State. has no right TO compel parents to
send their children to the schools; that
the matter Of education is one that con-
Germs parents alone, and that an indis-
criminate association OF Roman Catholic
children In public schools with atheists,
foundation of their faith.
That children in American schools arc
compelled to learn lessons In English IL
another grievance. When q child forgets
its language It II apt to forget its faith.
They urge the appointment of Italian,
French and German prelates as bishops
in American dioccses when their nation
Atty Is strongly represented. This view
Is supported here by powerful ~personages.
The Jesuits are it, friends. and some OF
the best known diplomatists accredited
here favor Il.
The Holy Father, however, takes the
modern liberal view of the question. Car
dinal Rampolia, / am inclined to think,
takes the same view as do the largest
portion of the American Roman Catholic
clergy, who believe that the Roman

can institution and would benefit the

Recent excavations near Athens,
Greece, throw much light upon the his
tory of cremation. At the Ceramieus
or 'potters quarter" near Athens
graves dating from a period between
500 and zoo i. c. contain no bodies that
We're burned. The same was found at
Mycen9, in Peloponnesus, where the
graves belong to the period of about
1000 B. c. From which it would fol-
low that cremation was not practiced in
Greece until about 900 b. G. All the
heroes of the niad, however. were ere
mated. Homer, being older than zoo e.
G., it would follow that among the
Ionians IF Asia Minor cremation was
praeticed long before It's introduction
INTO Greece. Cremation seems to have
come to the Greeks in Europe as their
sculpture theirpoetry, their philosophy,
their religion their industry and COM
merce did, from their Asiatio llinsmen
