Only 3ews increasing in IRELAND.

An interesting development in Ireland these days
is this, namely that the only religious element in
creasng IN Ireland is that of the Jews. Father Mi
chae Higgins, the distinguished administrator of the
Catholic parish of Queenstown, is authority for the
statement Figures in the registrars office in Dublin
he says clinches it as fact AT any rate the most
careless observer cannot help noticing the numerous
ness OF Jews on every hand. Their principal avoca-
ton is that of Commercial traveller They drive
through the country districts in " tax " carts-akin
to dog Garland sell wares of all kinds on the in
stalment plan to the people Of small villages and on
the farms. The Jewish community in Cork is about
to build a synagogue. They have been holding ser
vices IN the houses where they reside but they are
getting more pretentious, and synagogue will soon

An Imposing Synagogue for Rome.

The Jewish Congregation Universal Israelitica,'
OF Rome, has concluded an agreement with the NUM-
c1pallty Of Rome to surrender a prominent part of
the Ghetto to the city authorities for the purpose of
erecting an imposing structure In exchange for this
the city has given to the Jewish congregation plot
OF ground valued at 1000 lire, the bank of the
Tiber for the erection of synagogue AS that spot
on the bank of the river is rich in archaeological de-
posts, the Jewish community is bound to turn
to the municipality all articles of art Of historic
value free of charge This place is to be adorned
with synagogue twenty-four meters high, which is
to be surrounded only by gardens and school build
ings. The synagogue must be finished within five
years, otherwise the congregation is to pay fine of
5000 lire. In case the synagogue is not erected
within ten years the contract will be void.
What remarkable incident in history! the NUM-
cipality of Rome desires it's Jewish citizens to
synagogue on the spot consecrated to Jupiter and
Venus Verify the prophecy of Israes sages is
about to be realized: Jerusalem must be rebuilt

THE JEWISH SOUTH.
SUNDAY Rest.

VI recent weeks certain class of shopkeep ers in
New York and New Jersey who keep no Sabbath at
all have been reminded that Sunday is the civil day
OF rest IN this land 1t pity that these traders
have not yet learned the elementary lessons in cti-
zenshp, but must be taught by the police not to VIC
late the civil laws.
The civil statutes of both states are liberal
enough. They forbid Sunday trading, but allow
Seventh Day observers to keep open SUNDAYS pro
vlded they do not disturb the public quiet. This
qualification is ample in most instances, and even
where some hardship does exist the average lew is
not inclined to protest. He knows that being in
the minority, he must submit to certain inconve
niences
Now, there shopkeepers of whom 2
number are Jews, who wish to make all the money
they can, and, observing no Sabbath at ALL wish to
utilize Sunday for trade while their competitors are
at church or at home. Their conduct is not egiti
mate enterprise; it is unpatriotc and unfair 1t is
un-American to violate the law of the land and take
advantage of our neighbors. """*. r..
1t is time, then, that this class should be taught q
needed lesson So far as Jewish shopkeepers are con-
cerned we trust that they will require no further re-
mlnder OF their duty. What kind of children will
they rear II they keep neither the law of their religion
nor the law of the land? What kind of citizens can
be developed by an atmosphere where everything is
business and no thought of rest or worship or self
culture enters into their calculations?
The evil is happily confined to but few of our CO.
relgonlsts, and perhaps it is due more to their igno
rance than to their greed. But it must be checked

STORM TOSSED yoYAGERs.


Disttng ufshed Passenger Of German
steamers Report Terrific Gales.
While the weather in this vicinity has
been unusually mild for this time of the
year, the big ocean steamers report high
seas n terrific gales on the Atlantic
The officers of the German liners arriv-
ing at Hoboken say that the ocean<is ex-
tremely violent, and each incoming steam
er bears evidence of having experienced
a rough voyage. Some Of the vessels
come in with their ratings carried away
and their smokestacks and rigging badly
battered. The Normannia of the Ham
burgAmerican line, which arrived yester-
day morning, was five hours overdue. Her
log book recorded rough weather during
the entire trip. The wind blew a terrific
gale and drove the sea over the funnelS
During the last fifty-six hours of the voy-
e the storm ragged continually. The life
buoys were carried away and the top
rails on the upper deck were swept over
board, as though made of pasteboard. The
vessel, however, brayed the elements adj
mirably, and when her 450 passengers
sighted Fire Island g~ladness filled their
hearts.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, which
arrived at her dock yesterday afternoon,
encountered similar weather, but not
w-ithstanding this fact she was only about
two hours behind the time she made in
her record-breaking trip in September,
when she came over in 5 days, % hours
and - minutes. On Nov. IL she ran into
a very rough sea and head swell. The
next day was very foggy, and on Nov.
Is a squaH came up, accompanied by a
raging sea and westerly swell, hat tossed
the big liner about on the waves like a
cork. The storm did not moderate until
she was within a few miles from this
port
The Kaiser Wilhelm carried about seven
hundred passengers, among whom were
Sir Edward and Lady Colebrooke, ex-
Secretary of State w. G.. Whitney, ex-
Postmaster General John Wananaker,
DIR. l.. Won Holieben, German Ambassador
at Washington, and Stewart Il. Smith of
the Annapolis Naval Academy.
While the steamer was at sea Anton
Busch, a brother of the st. Louis brew
er. who was one of the first cabin passen-
gers. accidentally tripped on the carpet
If the dining saloon and fell. His right
shoulder was badly bruised and he sus-
tained severe internal injuries. AS soon
as the ship arrived at Eoboken he was
removed in an ambulance to the German
Hos ital in New York City.

FOOL J0RY's FOOL VERDICT.

.tT
Herman Feinstein, of No. 507 Paterson
e West Hoboken, and Joseph Alber-
tell are rival grocers, and there is bad
blood between them. On September 20
somebody told Feinstein that Albertelli's
son, who is twelve years old, stole an APP
PIE from a barrel in front OF his store;
the testimony for the State, gave him a
severe beating. Officer Dolan witnessed
the assault, but did not arrest Feinstein
at the time. because Mrs. Feinstein be-
came hysterieal and declared that her hus-
band could only be arrested over her dead
body.
Albertelli' s. little sister, who is only nine
years old, was called as a witness and in
terrogated by Judge Hudspeth as to her
competency.
Where do people go who tell lies? 2"
asked the Judge.
s-They go the other way" promptly re-
piled the child. Judge Hudspeth decided
that she was competent.
Feinstein denied hat he struck the boy.
The jury acquitted him.

master and spend Ii on the Game.


Chief Detective Julius Nelson, of Hobo
ken, has determined to make a thorough
cleaning out of all policy gambling in
that city. The policy shops were raided
some weeks ago, but there are still a
number of vest-pocket writer's who make
daily tours through the city selling plays
and distributing slips. Their principal GUS
toners are women, who neglect their
household duties to spend their scanty
pennies in gambling. The men work the
gam so cleverly that it Is difficult for the
police to obtain evidence against them.
Detective Nelson has discovered that
many Of the women gamblers are con-
stantly applying to the Poormaster for
support. Instead of using the money they
are given to purchase food and CLOTHING,
they spend It on the gam and IN less
than twenty-fOur hours they return to
the Poormaster for more, with a tale Of
woe tina would make a crocodile shed
tears.
Detectiye Nelson has instructed Poor
master Barck to cease supplying policy
gamblers with money, Detective Quinn
was directed 20 assist the Poornaster ini
