The JEWISH SOUTH.
FRANCE.

AS sequel to the memorial service held last week
in Paris for the Jewish victims of the disaster in the
Rue Goujon, Baron Aphonse de Rothschid and
Baron Gustave de Rothschild, presidents respec-
lively of the Consistoire Central and of the Con-
sstoire of Paris have addressed letter to the Presi
dent of the Republic, thanking him for the noble
thought which prompted him to be present at the
service.
The annual report of the Rothschid Hospital in
Paris shows that during 1896, 800 patients
admitted, of whom fifty Christians. The estab-
lishment also comprises homes for the aged and for
incurabes, the number being eighty-four and sixty
eight respectively The income for the year amounted
to 275,OOO francs and the expenditure to 2530OO
francs
BELGIUM.
Herr Jacob Simon, German coreigionist resident
in Brussels, was personally decorated last week by
King Leopold with the gold medal and crown for
saving two lives He stopped, at his own risk,
runa way horse, just the driver and girl in the
carriage were being flung out of the conveyance be-
tween the wheels Had it not been for Herr Simon's
pucky act both the driver and girl would have been
killed Seven medals have already been awarded to
him for saving lives, four for having rescued drown
ing people

Great social reforms belong to Queen Victorias
reign" writes William George Jordan in the June
Ladies Home Journal narrating the progress of the
world since Queen Victoria assembled the throne sixty
years ago The degrading practice of fogging has
been abolished in the armies of America and England
Children are longer permitted to work in the
mines of Britain. Press gangs no longer force men
into the service of the Queens navy The Red Cross
Society, approved by forty nine nations has softened
the horror of war The transportation of criminals,
with its many evils, has been suppressed Executions
no longer conducted in public. The treatment of
criminals has become humane. Factory laws and
building acts make life easier for the poor.
Inventive science has made marvellous progress
in every department during Victorias sixty years as
Queen Cantilever bridges have surprised the world
Travel has been wonderfully quckened by street cars
cabs, troleys ca bic cars elevated roads and other
triumphs of invention In 1887 there were no type
writers, passengers elevators modern bicycles,
soda water fountains, horseess carriages, no
chemical fre-extinguishers noironcads perfecting
presses Fully chronclng the inventive progress of
the last six decades would make it as if nothing
of real consequence to mans comfort had been done
before 1897

Defenoeo btmself.

~ Swordsmen on the American stage. His pro-
fciency with the broadsword is due to a long
course of training which he took many years ago
under rather peculiar circumstances.
Young Clement carried letter of introduction to
Daniel Bandmann, the tragedian, and asked for an
engagement The old man was charmed with
Clements reading of Shakespeare and after a long
Evolutionary trial remarked in a rich brogue: "My
poy, think you will do. You are engatched. But,
tell me, you able to defent YOURSELF
Why, yes; guess so,' doubtfully replied the
young aspirant Il don't know / never had fight
in my life but think could take care of myself in
pinch"
"Vell,' continued Bandmann, you'll hat to. 1
want man who can fight Ven play Richard, eet
makes me sck-pah-fI must be kilt by Richmond
who could not kill checker in real life Ven am
Macbeth, Wy shout be kilt by fellow who could
not carve cheese? l am tired Of ct all. You must
de,nt yourself. Do you know the broadsword?"
We'll, mol don't" admitted Clement "But
couldn't learn ?" he added eagerly.
''Ha, yes-inspee ration p cried Band mann "You
shall learn. Do you know my frent Colonel Mons
terry of Chicago? No? Nefer mind; give you a
letter to him."
Turning to the writing desk Bandmann wrote
letter of introduction and filled out check for sos
"Gif dose to my frent Monastery, lie said land
he will show you how you shall defeat yourself That
CHI eek will pay for twenty-five lessons fyou feel you
need more lesson, my letter say you shall take as
many you like and the bill l will pay. But,
remember! You must fight; ifnot, think will keel
you-yes.'
Clement came to Chicago to begin instruction In
this city he met several actors who formerly had
been members of Bandmann's company. They all
told the story. The tragedan, they said, was
a most dangerous antagonist in a stage duel and
very often forgot his surroundings and put up real
fight. If his opponent showed the white feather the
old would fly into paroxysm Of rage and
fight light demon. On than one occasion he
had completely driven Richmond and Macbeth off
the stage.
These stories scared Clement half to death He
began to regard his training as life and death mat
ter undertake strictly in self defence. At the end of
twenty five lessons he felt that he only begin
ner in workmanship, and instruction continued
week after week throughout the entire summer

TROLLEY MIKE.
A Faithful Follower In the Camp Of a
Traction Company.

A Faithful Follower In the Camp Of
Traction Company.
Jersey City has a dog known to every
resident as Trolley Mike. This dog has
mania for riding on front platforms of
trolley cars and acts as If he felt himself the
friend of every motorman and conductor
within the city limits.
Trolley Mike makes the rounds Of the
trolley lines in Jersey City every month.
He rides for day or two with the motor
men of the Newark road, then day or
two with those of the courthouse line,
next with those of the Bayonne system,
and so on to the end Of the list. He Is fed
with crusts from motormens and con-
ductors luncheons, and no refuses to take
even raw meat from the hand Of a man
not wearing the trolley company's uni
form. He clings to inspectors, not yield
ing his place beside one OF these officials
to any body or any brute. He goes like
shot at any dog that gets kind word or
pat from the conductor or motorman or
the car with which he Is travelling and
makes fight which no dog in Jersey City
has been able to equal in the short notice
he allows
For a person in ordinary citizens
clothes Trolley Mike has neither eyes nor
ears nor tail. All Dianulshme!ts from u
stranger are ignored by him. he walks
through car amid chorus OF good
doggy and "nioe follow" without u
wag or glance, takes his place beside the
motorman and rclaxes his dignity only
when blue clad arm Is stretched forth to
pet him. There is not case on record OF
Trolley Mikes having varied his system
attic rounds of the Consolidated Traction
company's lines in Jersey City. When he
once starts his one day or two day In
spection of a certain line, he sticks to his
programme despite all offers Of sausages
and crusts from the employees of other
lines. In changing routes, moreover, he
follows his own established order, without
varying it under persuasion or attempted
duress, month in and month out.
Trolley Mike Is not beautiful to look on.
He Is n mixture of about all things canine
from the ferry to Bergen Point and from
Newark to New York bay. He weighs
about 35 pounds, is short haired and has a
semifrizzlcd coat that suggests nothing
except multiplicity of breeds His color IL
a unique blending Of yellow and blush
black. His markings were put on appar
emily without design. His only adorn.
ments are brass studded collar and tail
like rolling pin. New York sun.
