Tribute 10 the Memory Of the Hebrew
Dead.


Four years OF anxiety. sacrifice. and
priVation, did not weaken the ardOr Of
the women of the South, and when, in
1861 the war had ended, they felt that
as the necessity for their care Of the
living. suffering, soldiers. had ceased to
exist, they should thcnceforward assume
the sacred duty of preserving the MEM
DRY OF the dead heroes. and OF keeping
green their graves.
In the spring of 1856 memorial associa-
tons were formed throughout the South
crn States. and here in the capital Of
the Confederacy, the Hebrew ladies or
ganized a society, whose object it was 10
collect the remains of the members of
their faith who had fallen in battle. or
otherwise yielded their lives. near this
city. and inter them in the Jewish GENE
terry.
The appeal which they made 10 their
co-religionists of the whole Southland.
from Virginia to Texas met with prompt
and liberal response. and in less than
year all OF the graves-thirty in number
were marked with marble head-stones. on
which were inscribed the name the COM
mand, and the State. OF the respective
occupants OF the lowly mounds. Those

which encloses these graves. was also
erected before the expiration Of 1851.
In several OF the private sections repose
the remains OF soldiers. natives OF
Richmond, whose graves are tenderly
cared for by their own loved ones.
The first president OF the Association
was Mrs Solomon Davis. on her resig-
nation, the lamented Miss Rebecca Hays
Myers filled the position. Mrs. Edward
Cohen was her successor; then followed
Mrs. Herman J. Myers. Mrs. Charles
Strauss is the present incumbent.
Four vice-presidenss four managers.
and secretary and treasurer, constitute
the board OF control. The first secretary
was Miss s. V. Lovenstein and Mrs.
George Jacobs was treasurer from the
organization Of the Association until
1869. since which time Miss r. c. Levy
has filled both positions.
Only in the event OF death or resig

Association decided many years ago TO
select it's officers for life.

Electric railroad building in the
 United States is in its infancy; and
 yet there are now $50 railways of this
 kind in operation in this country with
 total of 5000 miles of track, 23,000
 cars and a capitalization of over $400,-
 100000. Eight years ago only 19 of these
 roads were in operation with about 100
 cars. It is apparent that as regards
 this business of building electric roads
 there are yet millions in it." And
 speaking of railroads it is surprising to
 learn that in the land of the Ptolemys
 and pyramids the steam railroad lines already in operation, not only give
 excellent service but are actually profit able for investment purposes. Further more old Egypt is soon to have a trolley

 Says Consul General Penfield, formerly of Hartford, in a report just made by him to the Washington authorities on the railroads of Egypt: "In proportion to population Egypt has more railway mileage and better service than Aus tria, Hungary, Spain or Portugal, and it Is all government property, with the exception of few short lines. All the roads are very profitable investments. though the income of the government lines Is pledged to European creditors of the country as a partial consequence of the profigate extravaganza of Khed- i've Ismail. Expenses of construction are low, owing to the nature of the country, and working expenses are much below the European standard as 8 result of the moderate train speed and cheap native labor.

The Luck of White Man Who Was Left on
 an Island of the South Seas.
[Erom the San Francisco Examiner,l

[From the San Francisco Examinerl
 By the death of Joseph Rob?r;s, a
 Californian pioneer, Santa Cruz lost @
 genuine Robinson Crusoe, for MT. Rob-
 erts had passed through in early man. hood all the thrilling adventures and
 exciting life which endear Defoe's hero
 tc the reading boy and girl. Sixty
 seven years ago. on St. Valentines
 day, Joseph Roberts was born in Fall
 kirk, His family for seven yea had | been seafaring people, so that as he
 grew up he took to the eea naturally
 and while only fourteen years of age, while his playmates were still cabin | boys, he was made second mate of q sailing vessel. Before he was fifteen
 he made his first voyage from home, and followed the sea until he reached monEcod. He visited many foreign countries and the islands which dot the ecefn, but never landed in the United S5aes until he sailed through the Gold en Gate in 1851.
 There was one of the many stories Of adventure which MT. Roberts told WI ich never grew stale to young or
 Id. It was the story of the months he sEent on cannibal Island in the Faciiic. MT. Roberts was on a cruise amcng the South Sea islands on an English merchantmen. and when land was sighted he went ashore, Knowing that although the island was inhabited by cannibals, they were peaceable. But in his absence the captain ordered the anchor up and all sails set, and for eight months he was left alone among a lot of South Sea Islanders.
 The natives worshipped him as diety, and the king shared his own palm hut with him. The natives on that island believe in feeding their god, so MT. Roberts lived on the fat of the island. The dalntiest fish, the rarest game, and the earliest and sweetest fruits were laid as offsprings at his dcor. Five dusky girls waited on him, served him with food, and wove gar ments of flowers with which they crowned him. Whenever he went to the seashore he was followed by an admiring horde of natives, the king of their king. MT. Roberts used to say that he liked the adoration of the South Sea Islanders, but as the months passed he grew homesick and longed for the sight of white faces. Civiliza- tion seemed very desirable thing, but he accepted the situation.
 At the end of eight months stay on the island, upon awakening one morn ing, he saw ship lying at anchor in the bay. Pretending to the natives that he wished to board the vessel to trade with the sailors, they took him out to her in canoe, and he climbed | up the side of an American ship. The | captain and crew were more than as-

tonished to see a white man, and Rob- erts begged to be accepted as a sailor, a passenger, or anything, so he could once more reach civilization. On this ship he entered the United States for the first time, for the sailing vessel was bound for San Francisco. When the natives learned that their white god was going to leave them they put out to sea in all their boats, following the sailing vessel for miles, screaming, crying, and. beseeehing him to jump overboard and return to them.
