Considerable interest is manifested

and return to this vicinity he would,
no doubt, be given warm reception.
The pops are all broken up to know
how they are going to come out with
the fusion business this fall; some do
not want to recognize the democrats
or silver republicans at all, while
Others want to make their call so as
to include all the anti-republicans in
the county The main reason used by
those who are opposed to recognizing
the democrats and silver republicans
is, that they will ask for places on the
ticket and this, the pops will fatty re-
fuse, claiming that theipops can lick
the republicans slnglehanded and that
the other fellows, not being able to
get ticket of their own in the field,
will vote the pop ticket rather than
the republican ticket any way. Some
of the wiser ones are suggesting that
the democrats have the candidate for
sheriff as their share of the swag, as
there's is no show to beat Prange
anyway. The coroner may be offered
to the silver republicans.
WILLIE SELLS CASE,
A rousing mass meeting was held at
Eaton's opera house this evening to
protest against the pardoning of Will

The opera house was packed and the
meeting was unanimous against
pardon. Speeches were made by May
or Lodge, Hon, j. NJ. Allen and
number of leading citizens, among
whom were some of the nearest neigh
bors of the fated Sells family. The
Kansas City Void was denounced for
the part it is playing "under the di-
rection Of branch of the W. G. t, u,
which is entirely unfamiliar with the
crime committed by young Sells, and

ment, backed by grabbing attorneys

or for personal gain" Resolutions
were adopted and committee, COM
posed of Hon. j. M. Allen and ex-
Sheriff Jessie Parsons, was appointed
to present to the board of pardons, at
its comming meeting, the resolutions,
and to explain the almost unanimous
feeling of the citizeus of Neosho

The public opening of this internal Won
derland, under the auspices of the Ma
sonic grand lodge, has thrown the always
busting town of Bisbee into fever of ex-
element, and all Southern Arizona and
Southeastern New Mexico have caught a
fair share of the fever. Aside from the
governor and his staff there were many
notable Masons here and a very high pro-
portion of the entire territory member
ship.
The first meeting of the session Of the
grand lodge was held on the morning of
the 9th in the Bisbee temple, one of the
finest appointed Masonic lodge rooms in
the entire west. On the evening Of the
9th there was an exemplifcation of the
third degree. On the following morning
the grand chapter OF the Royal Arch Ma
sons met and in the afternoon there was
the first Masonic conclave In the wonder
full cavern Of the Copper Queen. This was
followed by the meeting of the grand COM
mandery of the Knights Templars, and
then a joint meeting Of the grand lodge

The famous Borgia rooms in the vati-
can in Rome are now opened to the pub
lie for the first time in 400 years. The
guides showing visitors through the pope 8
palace, in passing the door giving access
into that splendid suite of apartments,
have piously crossed themselves and NUT
tered an ave. With a wave of the hand
they have passed by the apartments dis
painfully, giving them the title of Cham

aux Enters"
Behind the closed door have been hid
den some Of the most beautiful frescoes
and specimens of the masters genius
to be found in Rome. But because the
rooms were built and decorated for the
use of Alexander WIS daughter Lu-
cretia, they were accursed in the eyes of
every good Catholic.
So centuries passed and the frescoes
and works so zealously hidden came TO
be looked upon as myths, but history re-
corded the fact that they really did exist,
and Pope Leo XIII has finally had them
restored and opened to the public

Mr.. Stevens and his committee have
given Savannah a building of which her
citizens will be justly proud. Not only
have they done that, but their work has
been one in the direction OF progress, and
one that viii rebound 10 the business in
terests of Savannah. An attractive home
for sailors is one of the features that has
great influence in attracting vessels to
the port. If the whole sea coast from
Maine to Texas, were searched, it is very
doubtful if more elegant or comfortable
quarters for the wanderers OF the sea
could anywhere be found.

ITS NEW BUILDING.

Arrangement of the Building for
The Use of SaiIors.-DOrmitOrie to
Accommodate Many Men.
The new building of the Savannah Port
Society, while not yet completed, has been
taken possession of by Mr.. H. Iverson,
the superintendent. The old quarters on
Bay street have been given up and closed
and the usual Sunday. services to-day will
be held in the new building at Lincoln
and St. Julian streets.
The building will not be completed un-
til the latter part of December. The con-
tractors were to have had it finished on
oct %, but they met with several de-
lays and are just about two months be-
hind with the contract. They are now en-,
gagged, however, in finishing up the rooms
OF the building, the staircases and the
windows and doors.
Mr.. Iverson decided that the work was
far enough along to permit of his moving
the society's quarters in. especially in view
of the fact that the time of the year for
providing sleeping quarters for the sailors
has passed. Accordingly. he gave up the
old quarters and moved Dec l.
The new building is practically five sto-
ries in hight and besides has a basement.
To what uses the basement will be put

en-. On the first floor to the right of the
entrance is the chapel, large spacious
and well lighted room. There is no base
ment beneath this SO that the room is
given an extraordinary hight. Just above
and to the left of the main entrance on st.
Julian street, is the reading room with
three other rooms adjoining, to be used
practically for the same purpose, and for
correspondence. 1t is the reading room
which Mr.. Iverson has fixed up for to-
days services. The chairs from the old
quarters have been moved in and ar
ranged, and a comfortable place for the
purpose is afforded. The only other room
of importance on this floor is the Office
of the superintendent and chaplain. Mr..
Iverson, which is on the Congress street
side, just opposite the main entrance.
On the second floor on the right side
of the building are the spacious quarters
Of the chaplain and his family. These
are most comfortably arranged with two
bedrooms, parlor and sitting room, dining
room, kitchen, and, in fact, the construc>
ton is like that of a modern fiat. On the
left side of this story is a part of the
sleeping rooms for sailors
The second floor, however contains only
small portion of the dormitory. The
third, fourth and fifth stories, the latter
being practically confined to the tower,
are composed entirely of apartments for
sailors. The rooms are large and have
complete ventilation both for summer ana
winter, and attached to them are all nec>
essary conveniences of the most improved
style. The society has on hand now a
large number of comfortable beds ana
the number will be increased when neces-
slty requires Ii.
Arrangements have not yet been com
pleted for furnishing the building. At
present furnishings are necessary only for
the chapel, reading and writing rooms and
office, and these win be looked after as
soon as the building Is completed. The So
cety has six months for providing fur
nishings for the other portions of the
building as they will not be needed until
the men begin 10 sleep ashore again.
The building has been put up in the most
substantial manner, the thick brick walls
extending all the way from the ground to
the tower. The walls at the base are
about rs inches thick, while they are II
inches up in the tower This thickness
IN the tower is as great as is found in the
easement walls of many buildings in the
city. which are now looked upon as most
Substantial
1t is the opinion of those interested in the
Port Society as well as of others who
nave looked into the matter that this
building is one of the cheapest and yet
most durable ever put up in Savannah. In
Guiding the land upon which 1t is built, it
VIII cost between $500 and $4,000, while
other buildings similar in structure, yet
not so attractive or imposing have cost
from $50, 900 to $4,000 The first brick Of the
new building was laid May rs, 1897, and it

JEWS IN UNITED STATES.
Their Growth Traced in the Jewish
Historical Socicty's Journal.

From the New York Times.
In the sixth publication Of the American
Jewish Historical Society, just issued, Da>
ticle headed Growth of the Jewish Popu-
lation in the United States" in which he
presents some interesting matter relating
to that subject.
ut is impossible to arrive at the exact
number of Jews at present living in the
United States" he writes, NOR has that
number been al any time definitely attain
able, as the United States government does
not classify persons by their religious con-
victons in the enumerations for the de-
| cennial census. Nevertheless various es-
Inmates have been made from time to time
with considerable care, and from these it
may be possible to gather an approximate
! idea of the growth of the Semitic popula.
! ton"
The first estimate quoted by Mr.. Sulz-
berger is that made by Hannah Adams
about 1872. on the authority of the Rev.
! Gershom Mendes Seixas, who was at the
| time the best-informed Jewish minister ia
! America According to her calculation,
there were then in New York about 10 or
| 50 subscribing members to the Congrega-
! tlOn SHedIlln israel anu MI. OulAbtIS ger
| considers il safe to infer that there were
| about $50 souls in that congregation, and
no fewer than 50 additional unattached. In
| Pennsylvania the number of Jewish fam
| lilies was thought to be between so and 100.
/ In South Carolina the Jewish population is
/ given at about 1000, and in Richmond at
about so families
'In 1918 Mordecai NJ. Noah estimated the
| Jewish population of the United States at
| 3 COO while in 1926, S. Gilman, quoting
| Isaac Hardy, in the North American Re-
view arrives at the conclusion that there
were not more than 5000 Israelites, divid-
! ing them between the different states as
! follows: New England states, between 800
| and 400; Pennsylvania, about the same
! New York, about $50; Virginia, about 400
! North Carolina. about 1900; Georgia, about
! 400; Florida about 30 or 40; Louisiana
about 100; the deficiency is put down as
scattered or unknown.
Fourteen years later, or in 1910, the
| American Almanac gives the number of
Jews in the United States as 1900, and
In the next eight years, according to Nj. A.
Berk the compiler and publisher of His
tory Of the Jews Up to the Present time
second edition, the population of the race
had increased 5000, and numbered then
about 5000, of whom between 1900 and
L. 600 resided in New York alone.
1.-THE first systematic attempt to OBJ
tain definite statistical information was
undertaken by the board of delegates of
American Israelites, with the assistance of
the Union of American Hebrew Congrega-
TONS The committee presented a tentative
report to the meeting of the board of del
egates held at New York on May % and 20,
1871 giving a total population of 1S9 1855.
Estimates had not been received from a
! number of places, and the committee was
