A Disguised Tramp.

Kiteshaped tracks are all the rage nowadays,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. and not TO be
behind the times, the Santa Fe road has built an
immense one on this model, ta king in the prin.
cipel towns In San Bernsrdino, Los
Angeles aud Orange counties. Start
inR at San Bernardino. for example one
may take a train and ride for several hours,
never passing through the same town twice,
and yet at the end Of the time he will be Just
where he started from.
A tramp who was not familiar with this
unique bit OF railroadinR, and who had been
passing some time amid the orange groves of
the lovely San Bernardino valley, decided II was
time to seek fresh fields so with q party of his
friends he won't to the Santa Fe station In the
city just mentioned. and, finding q train there
on the point of starting out he bade his
comrades long farewell, agreed to meet them
somewhere in New Mexico within a couple of
months, and as the train moved swung himself
in on o brake beam and was soon
flying through the country. The train
made many halts, but none long enough TO
allow the impecunious traveller an oppor-
tunity to get out and stretch himself. Finally.
however, place OF large size was approached.
but when the train stopped it was evident a
long halt was to be made. The tramp concluded
1t must be division headquarters, so he sneaked
out from under the car, Strengthened I'D. and
then looked about to see what sort Of place he
had struck anyhow. There was a familiar air
to his surroundings. and, looking at the sign
board on the station. he was paralyzed to see
the name "San Bernardnom He had put in the
best part of day riding on q belt train over

Jewish coneresat,ons IN oeore.a.


A bulletin recently issued by the United
Stateslcensus bureau, the sixth OF a series
on statistics OF churches. contains some in
terestiny information concerning the Jewish
congregations in this state. Tho bulletin
sets forth the fact, not generally known,
that the first Jewish congregation to organ
ize and exercise the rites Of their religion in
this country was In the city OF Savannah in
the year 1913.
About eighty years before that time lin
1854 the first Hebrews in the America
arrived at New York from Brazil
They shortly afterward built synagogue
in what is now Broad street in that city,
but were not permitted to worship therein,
because the authorities Of New Amsterdam
would tolerate no public worship but by
those who profess faith in Christ" An act
of the Assembly read to that effect, and the
authorities were Jealous TO see 1t enforced.
The next synagogue established was IN
Savannah in 1913. as noted. wherein serv-
ices were held regularly. The succeeding
congregations were organized az Lancaster,
Pa. in 1776; at Philadelphia In 1850 aud
1882 and at Charleston. s. c., in 179l. OF
these congregations those in this city and
Charleston and one in Philadelphia used the
ritual Of the Portuguese jews. the others
that of the German Jews.
During the century and a bali that has
elapsed since the Hebrew faith was first
established in Georgia the increase in syna-
gogues and membership has BEEN slow but
steady. until there are at present some 300
members Of reformed" congregations and
$50 orthodox" members In the state. own
ing church property approximating
s165, 900.
The growth Of the Jewish congregations,
like the growth of a palmetto tree, is all
from the inside; there is no church ex-
tension" or missionary" work done. He
brews are born, not converted, hence the
comparatively slow increase Of the faith as
compared with the gains of other religious
denominations.
Statistics Of the Jewish religion have
heretofore been dificult Of access because
each congregation is autonomous. There Is
no central head governing the body of Or
ganixations. as most of the Christian
churches have. to which the subordinate or
CARNATIONS make reports yearly, or half
yearly, and from which data may be had at
any time Bat a count OF Jewish strength
as a religious body could only be had by
polling each individual congregation.
Only two such counts have been held dur
ing the last forty years.

The Campaign In Rhode Island.

I
An election will be held In the state Of
other state officers will be chosen, and also
! a legislature that will elect q successor TO
Senator Aldrich, one Of the strongest of
the republican senator's.
Much attention is being paid 70 the Rhode
! Island campaign in all quarters. 1t is
claimed in some Of the newspapers that the
result will indicate the drift Of public opin-
ion as regards the policies Of the two great
political parties. But. 1t seems, that claim
is not well founded IL the democrats win
the state It will indeed mean much; If the
republicans are victorious IL will mean
very little. The difference is this: The state is
at present republican, that party is in con-
troll Of the "machinery" Of elections, is
thoroughly organized, has a large cam
paign fund, +" and is favored BY the system
Of apportionment in the general assembly.
The de mocrats, on the other hand, are not
so we'll organized, and have already lost
the opportunity to elect several members OF
the legislature by negisctIng to comply
wIth the requirements of the newly enacted
secret ballot law.
As far as the state officers are concerned,
the parties may have about equal chances
TO the election Of members of the legisla-
ture. the Democratic party is
under great Disadvantages. Under
the peculiar institutions of Rhode Island
mere votes do not count In an election OF
representatives. The ''town rule" and
majority law" ideas. relics Of 1868, still
dominate. Under this system the village Of
600 or 700 inhabitants elects the same
number Of representatives TO the state
Senate as the city having 100000
population. Thus, $4,000 people IN
the small towns of Rhode Island elect as
many senators as $50, 900 people in the cities,
and In the lower house the small towns have
forty members and the cities thirty-two.
The democratic votes are In the large
towns, as 10 usual in northern states; but
whatever advantage might accrue from O
plurality in the popular vote Is lost under
the system which contracts the power OF
the cities
An instance of the working Of this system
to the advantage of the republicans exists
In the case OF the present governor Of the
state. He was not selected by direct vote
of the people, but by the legislature. not
withstanding that on the basis Of plural
ity vote, the democratic candidate for gov
ernOr led his opponent.
II the Rhode Island campaign could be
fought on national issues. with q fair field
and no favor to either side, the result
might, IN truth. be a 'poinrer" In the COM
ing presidential contest; but, with the ad-
vantages enumerated all in favor of the re-
publicans. their success could not be CON-
sidered fair test. Democratic victory in
the face OF such odds. however, would be
glorious And 1t is pleasant to note that
the democrats are fighting sturdiiy with
good prospects OF W inning.

Why Take Any Risk?

Two sailing vessels from Santos bound for
this port have been sent TO Sapeio this week.
After being disinfected at Sapelo and re-
naming there two or three weeks they will
be discharged, and then, in all probability,
will come TO this city. There may be no
danger in admitting them to this port, but
there is a chance that there ia. And would
it not be advisable for the city authorities
to consider seriously whether it would not
be advisable TO deny them entrance herei
The whole world knows the coalition Of
Santos. 1t is simply terrible. The death
rate is almost, If not wholly. unprecedented
in the history Of epidemics. For months
people there have been dying daily by
scores. And the last reports received show
no improvement in the situation. The fever
is OF the most malignant kind.
II is true the two vessels at Sapelo left
Santos two or three months ago, but there
is no certainty that they do not carry the
germs of the disease. or that, IL they do, the
germs will be destroyed by the treatment
the vessels will receive at Sapelo. The
wiser course would be for the city authori
ties to take no risk. They should at least
carefully consider the question whether II
would be advisable to admit the vessels.
