Brother After Death

MINNEAPOLIS,M Minn., Dec. s. May
the curse OF God tall on you ana yours,
and allow ms from the minute l drop

night until your death. Then l will well
come you on the brink of hell with red

These were the farewell words of Harry
Hayward to his brother Adry this after
noon. He hurled them at the latter as
he descended the stairs leading to the
tier in which he had been confined aud
passed through the iron doorway leading
to the outer office. 1t was their last
meeting on earth, and such the murderer
intended it to be. Adry was as CAIN as
the prisoner was lmpassioned. He was
unmoved by the anathemas. except to-
ward pity. His was the protherly affec
ton. and it was his fervent God bless
you, Harry good by, Harry" which clic-
tied the remark above quoted.
The meeting between the brothers was
arranged by the parents. who beseeched
the condep, ned to see Adry once moro
before he died. He :emsined obstin ate
to their entr eaties for long time, but
finally he consented and sent by messen-
ger note reading:
Dear Adry: | want you to come once
to the Jail, as / wish particularly to see
you. ! have no otner object than the
desire to ask your forgiveness for any
wrong, either real or imaginary. which
I may have done you. l want once m ore
TO see you on this earth. This is the
wish and dying request of your brother

When Adry reached the Jail he waited
until the conclusion of the Wait Of DR..
Hayward, who was then with the doomed
man. Deputy Allison, however, passed
through the office to the Jail corridor and
and told Harry that Adry was in the
outer office.
LET him come at once" said Harry.
DR.. Hayward, however, did not relish
the idea of the meeting between the two
brothers in his presence, and asked the
deputy 10 wait until he was ready to go
before he showed Adry up the Jail stairs.
He renal ned a few minutes longer, then
bade his brother iarewell for the time
being. On his way out he met Adrv in
the doorv ay and the two stopped for ii
trer time and shook hands. The doctor
passed out of doors, while Adry assembled
the stars to the corridor, whers Harry
stood calmly waiting Tor him. They adj
dressed each other in a friendly manner,
alter which Harry requested the deputies
to withdraw a distance TO allow him 10
speak 10 his brother coniidentally. The
officers did as requested, and from dis
tance keenly watched the two mel. The
latter at once engaged in an interested
conversation. What passed was not
heard by any person until Harry raised

ISRAEL NEEDS NO DEFENDER
On the Hospitable Soil of the American
Republic
AhIwardt Will Fail, Says Hamburger, As
Other Bigots Have Failed to Array
Religion Against Religion

NEW YORK, Dec. Sat meeting to-
day OF lodge IS of the Independent Order
Free Sons Of Israel. julius Harburger
the grand master of the order, made an
address in which he referred to the visit
of Herr Ahlwardt. the German anti-Sem-
tito agitator, to this country. He SAID,
among other things:
"Whcn the A.. Z. A. question was
mooted in this country and the revivi-
cation of knGwnothingism became ram
pant, the true Americanism OF the peo-
ple asserted itself and press. pulpit and
orators moulded public opinion and rele-
gated these pernicious doctrines to obliv-
ion. Whenever and wherever individuals
have attem pied to array religion against
religion in America it mas faileu most
ANONYMOUSLY. The visit OF MIR. Ahlwarot
TO our hospitable shores to engender and
inculcate nnti-Semitic doctrines Will fail
at the outset. This fanatic. pigot and
alien. i'm bued with hatred for the Israe-
lite from his childhood, sets up gospel
OF his own to preach on American soil,
which is contraction Of the fundamental
principles OF our great, free and most
liberal govt rnnent. Tho jewish people
need no defenders on American soil.
Their aims and objects since the revolu-
tionary days.as loyal and patriotic Amer
Jean citizens, have been testified to by
Washington and bv ali the statesmen of
the various generations in tho land. Any
individual who does not respect the re-
ligion OF other creeds, and who is vItuper-
ative in his language toward a people
which has been persecTted for CEN
turies. driven from country to country
until they have found home in the
greatest republic on earth, is asIcowardly
wretch as was ever horn or should fe
incaIcerated in an asylum for lunatics.
I'm every state in our union peonle of
our faith ana belief at all times have
been honored ard respected by elective
positions and appointments. Mayor
Strong, good ana practical American as
he is, has, in his appointments, honored
the great Jewish Americans of this city
by selecting three gentlemen of that creed
for high and responsible positions-gen-
tlemen whose aim and desire it is to be
fearless, bOnest and independent, and
who will never suly the reputation of
the mayors administr alton. Seldom
have any of our Hebrew American citi-
zens betrayed any OF the public trusts
reposed in them. We have mt heard of
any anti-SemitiC sentiments in our re-
public, and, believing in the great Amer
ican doctrine of free speech, do, how
ever, unhesitatinely denouncc anyone
who proposes to undermine the bulwark
of our governmental foundation uf civil
