deavor to support them. Many OF the lead
ing men of the race have devoted a great
deal of thought to the problem thus tor-
chilly presented to them, but without ma,
ing any better solution than that AFFORDED
by a continuance of their charitable WORK
on lines that would tend to make the Dene-
ficiaries eventually self supporting. Inc
Rev. DIR. Joseph krauskopf, however,
thinks he has hit upon solution dlneren1
from this He is She rabbi of the reformed
Congregation Keneseth Israel at Phlladei-
phia, and his plan is to appeal to the rus
sian government to stop exiting the Jews
and permit them to settle in tine more
sparsely populated districts in central hus-
sia, where he thinks they would be able to
take care of themselves.
DIR. Krauskopf thinks the wealthy Jews
of the world would be quite willing to
bear all the expenses incident to such col
onization, and that they would ma IL
vastly cheaper and more etfectual than the
present eleemosynary methods, OF when
but little permanent good can be expected
Some of the most prominent merchants
| and bankers of his race indorse the proJect,
though they fully realize the difficulties
| attendant upon such an effort to secure
reversal of the cars governmental policy.
One of the very first difficulties to be
overcome is to make it possible for Dr.
Krauskopf to visit Russia SO that he can
lay his plan before the proper authorities
there. Under present conditions may moi
even set his foot across the Russian from
tier, for it is the law that no foreign Jew
shall be permitted to enter the country
With the aid of passports and letters O
introduction from officials and other in
fiuential people the doctor hopes to sur
mount this obstacle, and he has already OBJ
tanned letters to number of eminent Rus
sian officials which ought to be of grea
service to him if he succeeds in gaining
access to them. He is evidently not yer,
hopeful of success, but seems fully deter

INGERSOLL AND HIS FAVoRITE GRANDCHILD
for the Four Hundred or the Hundred and
Fifty or any other of the select coteries into
which fashionable society divides itself.
He is not in any sense a society man, but
devotes himself to home and family with
an assiduity with which even business is
not allowed to interfere without some es-
pecially good reason. 1t is said that Colo
mel Ingersoll has refused many good re-
tainer or fat lecture fee because it would
have necessitated his leaving home when
he was not inclined to do so.
The colonels household comprises, be-
sides his wife and her sister and his two
daughters, the husband and two children
of one of the daughters and two cousins,
who are permanent members of the fam
lily. OF his grandchildren Colonel Inger-
soil is very fond. One of them is named
after him, Robert G. Ingersoll Brown,
ard is his grandfather especial pride and
prospective heir Young Robert, who was
born Aug. z, 1898, is the second child of
Walston H. Brown, the banker, who mar.
ried Colonel Ingersoll's eldest daughter.
According to the unanimous testimony
of the family, the baby bears striking re-
semblance to his grandfather, but it Is ad-
mitted that there are some points wherein
they differ. The boy has more hair ON the
top of his head than his grandfather, but
then he lacks the flow of language that
has made his grandsire famous. He has
not yet expressed his views on religious
subjects, but he has his grandfather hab
it of bitterly denouncing what displeases
him. His method is somewhat different
and usually more effectiya
The boy was born at his father 3 countr,
house, "Walston," near Dobbs Ferry, OF
the Hudson. He has light hair and blu,
eyes and is altogether healthy, bright
looking chap. His grandmother remark,
with pride that he weighed when born Ii
pounds.

Cracking of Trees.

The catalpa never shows the "sere
and yellow leaf" in autumn like the
sumac, hard maple, ETC., for the rea-
son that its leaves are caught in
green, unripened state by the first severe
frosts. In one night their bright green
is turned to dingy black. This sud
den check gorges the camblum layer
and new wood of the stem with water.
An excess of water swells the proto
plasm of the cells to such an extent as
to rupture the inelastic bark, and in
trees where the cell structure of the
wood is not ripe the crack will extend
into the wood often with a noise like
an explosion. This often occurs in the
fall when it is not cold enough to stop
blowing. Sometimes we have much
loss in nursery in this way with varie-
ties not fully ripe. when the first frosts
come. Sometimes indeed it Injuries
very hardy varieties. In such cases the
swelling of the protoplasm comes from
the water absorbed at the ground sur
face when combined wet and cold come
together in autumn. The cracking of
cherries and pears comes from the same
cause-that is, by absorbing water on
wet days, causing an expansion of the
protoplasm. With trees the best treat
ment is to cover the rupture with moist
clay and then wrap to exclude the air
as much as possible. State Reg

TRENTON, May 25, 1S94.-Joseph Wall
witz, the State Prison convict who has been
found guilty of the murder of Deputy
Keeper James D. Lippincott, was sentenced
by Judge Albeit this morning to be hanged
on June % next The sentencing of the pris-
oner was very dramatic event. Over 1000
people were present in the big court room
when Wallwitz was brought in, his arms
bound behind him with thongs and his
wrists encircled with heavy steel cuffs. he
was very pale, but cool and collected,
His counsel made motion for a new trial
and accompanied it with a request that the
court order an examination OF the deao
keepers body in order that the bullets might
be extracted and produced in court The
evidence was perfect en- the point, he said,
that either Wallwitz or Deputy Keeper

DIFFERENT PISTOLS.
Wallwitz and Leonard used pistols of en-
tirely different calibre, and the bullets will
prove conclusively who did the killing,
Nothing but positive and unquestioned ev1-
dence on this point would satisfy the public
mind that the verdict rendered IN this case
was righteous one. The Court overruled
the motion for new trial, and denied the
request, for the time being, concerning
the order of the exhumation of the body on
the ground that the Court lacked the power
to grant it. If counsel could show in course
of day or two that the Court had such
power it would consider the matter again
