Notes OF the jews.

There are four Jewish members OF the Constitutional
Convention now sitting at Albany.
II was provided by the Central Conference OF Ameri-
car Rabbis which met in this city last year that q
rabbi may onrciate at a case OF cremation, but must
remain at a certain distance from the crematory.
Contributions are greatly needed by the Jewish Sab
bath Observance Association, and by the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary OF this city, aud by many other Jew
ish institutions OF a charitable, religious, and educa-
tionai kind. The wealthy Jews arc liberal givers, but
the demands upon them are overwhelming.
When Rabbi Krauskopf Of Philadelphia threatened
TO beard tho Car In the name OF his Jewish subjects,
he was held up to scorn as a charlatan by the Hebre,o
Journal, which said that the Cars Government would
be Justified In refusing to admit him to Russia.

recently appointed TO that once. Is q member OF .

There Is melancholy news In the Hsbreuc Standard
that Jewish circles are agitated over the question,
whether confirmation dresses should be made with
.leg OF mutton " sleeves,
BY Jewish law the body OF a deceased person cannot
be removed from the place OF burial. excepting under
circumstances which rarely occur. The old Jewish
graveyards in New York. as In other places, are well
guarded against desecration.
There has been some fun in New York over those
Jewish Immigrants from Russia who want 10 Amer.
icaniIe their names. A decree hAabeen promulgated
I'm one OF the provinces of Russia, whereby all Jew.
carrying on business under assumed Russian cogno-
men, must resume their full Jewish names under
penalty OF Imprisonment or banlshment.
At the Nashville Convention OF the Order B,nAi
Berth, there were twenty-five veterans OF the war.
twenty. four OF whom had served In the rebel army.
The glory hath departed from Israel. says a Jewish
writer. who adds; "our beloved brother Joe Choynski

Case
To THE EDITOR or THn sUN-Strr I have
perused your articles on the grievances Of Mr..
Nicholas Fredrikssan with a great deal Of Inc
terest, and do not doubt that he has serious
grounds Of complaint against certain members
of the Russian imperial police force. AZ the
same time I have asked myself what would this
gentleman's fate have been had he acted A. he
did, not In Russia, but In New York CITY, while
under arrest on suspicion, whether guilty or Inc
nocent7 Had he escaped instant death by shoot
ing for drawing a revolver on his captors he cer-
tainly would have been dubbed into insensi-
bility, nor IL II likely that he would have ess
capped equally summary punishment for kicking
q policeman out OF a sleigh or "sassing the
pantata at the station house. Taking all in oil.
I am inclined TO think. on his own story, that he
was rather l%eniently dealt with during the early
stages OF the affair. The delay in the final dis
position OF his case Is, OF course. greatly to I've
deplored, also the disappearanccof his wife; but
l am not writing "a, defend Russian Judicial
methods. I merely wish to cali atteutlon To the
fact that Mr.. +. would really have Jared worse
Mt the hands of the New York police under sim-
liar circumstance than he did in Russia.
How utterly the rights OF the individual are
disregarded by our own uniformed guardians
Of the peace" ispainfully brought 30 my atten-
ton almost every night. l make IL n habit OF
patronizing one of tho benches In Union square
a half an hour or SO evenings before retiring,
and am thus obliged TO witness the rough and
brutal treatment OF the unfortunates who sech
fresh air and repose In the same place. To say
that the brute In gray who makes the roundsat
given intervals handles his victim like cattle IL
putting 1t mildly indeed. Only three nights ago
1 saw a poor old tramp Of sixty years or more
first kicked on the shlns and then violently
jerked into the air for the crime Of doing in an
upright position. Even when he regained his
feet and was In the act Of retreating his tormen-
tor landed two blows in his ribs. There wese
onlookers enough, but nobody seemed TO be
reused by the occurrence. It was too old a story.
am free to say that such an incident as this
occurring In any public park in st. Petersburg
would have resulted in tho immediate punish-
ment of the offender-not merely dismissal from
the force but a good term Mt hard labor. Why
does not the Lexow Committed devote some at-
tention to this peculiar propensity Of our police-
men2 Corruption Is unfortunately not thelf
only failing. Yours truly, :

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: In THE Sur
OF to-day l see that you take some exception To-
letter Of mine concerning the individual CONF
munion cup, which appeared in the New York
Tribune q few days since. What l claim is this,
that II is most strange that the first attempt
TO do away with contaGion from drinking should
make Its appearance at the communion table,
and that no attempt should appear in directions
where the danger Of contagion is a hundred-fold
greater, namely, at public drinking places and
in promiscuous kissing. You say that these
have been spoken against / grant you that, but
no effort has been made to correct these evils,
whilea an effort has been made in the Church to
revolutionize the simple manner of administers
ing the Lords Supper. which has stood, without
harm to the human race, for nearly 1000 years,
into the Church which bids fair to become popu-
Church. / have no doubt but that you or any
one else will admit that the danger to he found
at the communion table Is infnitesimal as
compared TO the danger to be found at ordinary
drinking fountains, In promlscuous kissing, DC.

Now, in your editorial you claim that God viii
not break through. the laws Of nature in order TO,
protect his true followers, from receiving any
harm at the communion table.
would like to answer this by referring y1i IN
the 18th. verse of the xvi. chapter OF 81. Mark!
They shall take up serpents, and II they drink
any deadly thing II shall not hurt them" .
oh. but" you may say, "a man is not going to
be bitten by a serpent and receive no hurt. God
will not confound the laws OF nature in such q
manner"
You think not2 Then lc: mo refer you stu
again TO The Acts, chapter xviii, and the first
six verses, which relate, how a viper fastened
upon Paul's hand, how the natives watched ex-
peCting to see him swell with the poison, but
how he shook the beast off into the fire and felt
no harm, No, sir, this new movement IN, the
Church is on a par with higher criticism, disbe-
lief In the Bible, and all other dangerous errors
which are creeping into the Church.
