Jews With BIRck SISina

From the American Hebrew.
have noticed in the press from time to
time items concerning a blind black lew
who is doing" the United States. He must
be a bit of a traveller to Judge from the
various points I have heard from him He
has been west south, and north, and when
last heard from was in Hartford Hebrew
is language in which he seems to be at
home, and writing pad is his means of
communication.
/ presume that he is a Falasha or Abvs-
Sian jew, belonging to people that was
saved to Judaism from the conversion eff
forts of the missionaries through the AL
lance Israelite Universelle. That associa-
ton sent Nj. Hallevi among them, estab-
lished schools, and put them in touch with
their brethren in faith. The connection of
the Falashas with the main body of the
Jews through ancestry dates back a long
period, for they use neither Tails pray-
er CLOTH nor phylacteries, nor do they cell
citrate either the Feast of Dedication in
honor of the Maccabean victory, or even
Purim, so that 1t must be back of the
Christian era.
There are other black Jews besides the
Falashas. The Yemen Jews may be called
so. There are black Jews-as well as
white Jews-in Cochin China. There are
also black Jews in Jamaica. These are the
children Of mixed marriages.. e., of Jews
with the native women, whose children
they have acknowledged and legitimized
and who have thus come within the fold
of the synagogue. There are also black
Jews in India, the Bene Israel. a commun-
ity in and about Bombay, that has been
restored to Judaism by the Anglo-Jewish
Associa ton of London.

"MUsT'' IN THE NURSERY.
The Great Question Considered by
the Mothers In Convention.

"
the Mothers In Convention.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The mothers convocation, which closed
its session in Chicago Thursday evening,
had under discussion this, among other
questions: Must that stern old Saxon
word, must, be eliminated from the vocab-
ulary of the nursery and the Preside? In
other words, is it the duty of parents to
so order their household that fear shall
be banished and penalty and punishment
unknown?
This question lies at the bottom of the
two great PHILOSOPHERS of life, duty and
desire, the rod of discipline and that per-
feet love which casteth out fear. 1t is
conceded on all sides that as civilization
advances less and less reliance is put up
on fear and more and more upon love- 1t
does not follow, however, that it is posi-
BILE to attain to that perfect love which
renders wholly unnecessary any and all re-
sort to penalty.
1t may well be doubted If it, be good for
the character of a child TO grow up in an
atmosphere all sweetness and light. Ma
ture surely is continually furnishing. There
is in infraction of the laws of Mother Ma
ture which does not involve some form
of punishment. So true is this that If it
be found that no penalty attaches the in
ference is drawn that no natural law has
been violated. In the language of occur
rences there is no word more prominent
than must, and that, too, in both the neg
alive and the affirmative form. At every
turn nature says you must do this or you
must not do that. This fundamental fact
of existence needs to be appreciated by
every child as part of its development,
intellectual and moral.
The must" question is a large part of
the central problem of life. The whole
economy of things depends upon it, 1t is
hardly too much to say that duty, in dis
tinction from mere desire, is the very CEN
ter of things. The great trouble with the
vicious and the criminal is that they do
not take in this idea and conform to It,
They fail to realize the obligation side of
life. The essential element of reform is
appreciation of the fact that bad action
involves disaster in one form or another.
The incorrigibles are those who cannot
learn this fundamental lesson of the uni
versal school of life.
There is one word intimately connected
with must which should be wholly dis
ISOLATED from it, and that is anger Ma
lures penalties have no element of anger
in them. They are inflicted always in
kindness. The smart of a burn is really
the very essence of loving kindness. 1t
is natures way of saliva ion. Were there
no such punishment the burning itself
might go on unconsciously to the point
of fatality This is simply a familiar IL
Illustration of general principle It is
of prime Importance that this general prin
ciple should be clearly recognized, and
that alike in the household, the school
room. the reformatory, and even the peni-
tertiary.

Atlanta Gives the Standard TeIs-
phone Co. Twelve Months More.
Atlanta, Ga, oct. H.-After a hot fight,
reaching over from yesterday, the stand
ing committee of the city council to-day
agreed to extend the franchise of the Stan
dard Telephone Company twelve months
upon condition that work be commenced
in thirty days and 1900 telephones be in
position within the year. This will give
Atlanta competition in telephones and the
Standard Telephone Company agrees to
start out with a reduction of about 100 per
cent. on the rate of the Bell Telephone
Company. They will charge $24 for resi-
dence and $36 for business phones, and
give the city instruments free.
A hard fight was made by the Bell COM
pany to prevent an extension of time, the
original twelve months allowed for the
commencement of operation having expir-
ed one of the features of the new sys-
tenn will be to do away with the "heno

Ex-District Attorney James is one of

profit on it's business in Atlanta.

CAVALERIE INDICTED.
He Was Detected in RObbing Regis
tered Mail at Atlanta.


Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 4.-The federal
grand jury to-day found a true bill
against E. E. Cavalerie Jr., clerk in
the postoffice on a charge of robbing the
mails. Cavaleries duties were to look
after the delivery of registered letters. He
had worked in the office for a long time,
and was a trusted clerk. For over a year
complaints were made to the office that
articles of value and letters failed to reach
their destination, and the officers watched
the clerks in the mailing department close
ly. on June g. Revenue Officers Barry
and J. r. Rousson of the postoffice de-
partment, were on watch, and about 1870
saw young Cavalerie take his seat at a
desk, on which lay pile of letters ready
for delivery. He was seen to open one
of the letters, read it through, reseal it,
and put 1t in the pile.
On the following day the same officers
were again on watch and saw Cavalerie
repeat his performance of the preceding
day officer Barry saw Cavalere open as
many as five letters, and he and officer
Little then arrested him.
CaValerie claimed that he had not opened
any letters. but had only looked into the
unsealed envelopes of yellow or second
class mail, and had opened some letters
from the dead letter office in order that
he might address them properly.
