Almost every large American city has it's Ghetto,
or jewish quar- ter that swarms with peddlers old
clothes dealers and sweat-shops Mercy is not to be
expected here, and tact is supposed to be unknown
among such people, except among traders in selling
their goods The following incident happened in the
Jewish quarter in Boston last winter and is worth
telling, because il comnends human nature found in
the sums:

ers ne parents were very poor and very proud
In the ne1ghborhood Christian mission and
although Jewish children attended singing and sew

preferred to starve rather than accept it's charity
and the family in which the child was born was one
OF that class. The father and mother persistentlv
refused all aid, although there was no coal in the
house, and no money for food Then for some reason
probably pride they refused help from people Of their
own religion.
All the jewellers In the neighborhood were exceed

here was a starving family and dying baby, united

IMPORTANT PHASES.
Reciprocity and Retaliatory Clauses
to Tariff Bill Passed by Senate.
Mr.. Teller Objects to Naming
Time For Final Vote.
~
Possibility That Final Action May 30 Taken on
the Measure Today.
~

Washington. July 3.--The senate was
occupied yesterday In a discussion Of
reciprocity and retaliation In connec.
tion with the tariff bill. The debate
was protracted and spirited. The two
provisions were finally adopted.
Mr.. Allison endcavored TO secure an
agreement fixing "a time for final vote.
but Mr.. Teller OF Colorado objected.
saying he would not consent 10 fixing a
time for final action until all amend
ments To the bill had been presented to
the senate.
As Mr.. RDlson was not prepared TO
submit these amendments. he withdrew
his request, and the time for the final
vote was Icft open, although there is
still hope that II will be reached today.
The retaliatory clause provides that
whenever any country bestOws an export
bounty on any article, then upon the
importation OF such article into the
United States. there shall be levied In
addition TO the duties provided by the
act an additional duty equal to the
amount of bounty. The debate on the
section disclosed some difference OF
opinion on the Democratic side. Mr.
Gray of Delaware and Mr.. Lindsay OF
Kentucky opposing 1t, while Mr. Caffery
OF Louisiana supported II as legitimate
measure OF self-preservation. Mr. Gray
dwelt upon the effect Of the clause In
evading our treaty obligations with Ger
many and Austria. The clause was
agreed to, 1913, the two Democratic
senators from Louisiana voting with the
Republicans in the affirmative.
The reciprocity clause empowers the
| president with the advice and consent
| Of the senate to make reciprocity treaties
| giving 20 per cent reduction in duties
| on designated articles, or placing articles
| On the free list. The amendment brought
| out much opposition, Senators Mills, Pet
| tus, Vest Teller and White arguing that
| II evaded the constitutional right OF the
| house Of representatives to participate
| In measures affecting revenue, while
| Senators Morgan. Gray and Chandler
| defended it's legality and propriety. Late
| in the day the vote was taken and tht
| reciprocity clause was agreed TO, 3O-1S
| two Democrats-Gray and Morgan
voting with the Republicans in the
| affirmative.
Early in the day, Mr. wellington (Rep
Md, rising to a question Of persona
| privilege, vehemently upheld his sen
atorial prerogatives in the matter o.
federal appointments.
