THE GREAT INNEs CONCERT.


Seats are selling so fast for Innes
grand concerts, at Union Park, next
Sunday, that Mr.. Innes should feel
comDlimented. The sale goes on to-
morrow and Saturday at the Grand
Opera House.
Innes comes along this year on his
tour to the Tennessee Centennial, with
all the gerat soloists who have made
his band famous in the past. He has in
fact strengthened his attraction BY
adding Keneke, who is said to be the
greatest cornetist in America; Heidel-
berg, the well-knOwn piccoloist, ana
Wardwell, a euphonium soloist Of con-
iderable note. In addition to these he
will have as special attractions Nine
Rosa Linde, contralto, and Miss Bertha
Webb, violiniste Nine. Linde Will be
well remembered as the. co-star with
Nordica, Of the Nordica-Linde Concert
Company, while Miss Webb comes from
Boston with honors thick upon her,
gained in appearances with the FAMOUS
symphony Orchestra, Of Hub-town.

The CLERGTS SOUND PROTEST.

COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE
CLERICAL BROTHERHOOD EN-
PHATICALLY DENOUNCES RACE
TRACKS.
The special committee appointed by
the Clerical Brotherhood met last even
Ing and adopted resolutions condemn
ing in the strongest terms race tracks
and gambling legislation. These reso-
lutions will be forwarded to the Cen
eral Assembly:
Whereas, The bill recently intro
duced in your honorable body, author
izing a race track, open to tests of
speed between horses and such tests
Of endurance as obtained between men.
with the privilege of making wagers of
money and selling pools, would, if pass
ed, be detrimental to the we'll being of
our commonwealth; therefore
Resolved, That we enter our solemn
protest against the passage Of said bill
for the following reasons:
First. Because il is a disgrace for
the state to establish an institution that
cannot flourish and serve the purpose
for which It's promoters conduct it,
without inaugurating a reign OF iniqui-
ties so repulsive to good citizenship
that the very name of the community
in which they are committed, becomes
a reproach.
Second. Because no revenue that
might flow into the treasury of the
state would be justification for the
moral degeneracy which always follows
the advent of the thieves, gamblers
and debauchers who frequent the race
course and it's environs.
Third. Because the manhood and
the womanhood that consult only the
best good of our state are unalterably
opposed to legalizing in Delaware what
in other commonwealths has only re-
ceived the sanction of the law to be
reprobated."
The resolutions are signed by Arch
deacon Hall, Revs. f. M. Munson, L. l..

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
THE JEWS OF MODERN TIMES.

THE JEWS OF MODERN TIMES.
The Jews of Germany and of other
Continental States POLAND and Russia
excepted) may be divided into two
classes-those that do and those that
do not observe the ritual or the cere-
monies Of their religion. Very few OF
the richer classes belong to the for
mer; most of the poorer classes belong
to the latter. Absolutely, the Jewish
day admits of three divisions-the
strictly rabbinical the progressists, and
the ultra-refomers. Each of these di-
visions has its temple, with schools at
tached. The ultra-rabbinical Jew,
wherever he is located, retains all the
devotion for the letter as we'll as for
the spirit of his religion that charac-
terized his race in the Middle Ages. He
observes during the year five fast days
of total abstinence, from sunset to sun
set, besides the great Day of Atone
ment, the only fast that has a Mo
sale basis. He is regular in his at
tendance at the synagogue three times
a day, and his prayers are voluminous.
He Is also most scrupulous with re-
spect to the dietetic regulations of
"Cosher" and "Tarefa," as well as with
regard to the vessels in which the food
is cooked. All this becomes an oner-.
GUS charge on the wife and the daugh-
ters, but they are dispensed from a va
riety of other observances, which are
held to be incumbent on males.
Among this class of rigid observers
there may be found some high-minded
and intellectual women, but, generally
speaking, their spiritual education is
not of an elevated character, and their
conception OF religion seldom rises
above the platform of the mere letter
With reference to moral conduct, no
difference whatever obtains between
the ultra-rabbinist Jews and those who
are less scrupulous about outward
forms. They are all exemplary in the
discharge of the duties and obligations
appertaining to home and family life.
Drunkenness and unchastity are vices
rarely to be met with among Them but
the lower orders are addicted to gam
ing, and are fond Of finery in dress and
of showy trinkets.-The Menorah.

RUSSIA HAS NO LOVE FOR
GREECE.

Despite all her apparent advances of
friendship, Russia was ever and is yet
looked upon with suspicion and antip-
athy in Greece. There is too great a
difference between the rude and des-
potic character of the Muscovites, and
the refined and liberal nature OF the
Hellenes. Moreover, the latter are still
caressing their ideas of Pan-Hellenism
and their dream of again possessing
Constantinople which is coveted by
Russia herself. The Muscovites know
that Greece will be ever a stubborn OBJ
stacle to their projects, abarrier to their
invading propensities, and they con-
clude that the fewer Greeks there are,
the more powerful will be theRussiane en-
pire. The traditional policy Of the czars
has aimed atpreventing too intimate
alliance of Greece with any of the four
neighboring countries, Roumania, Bull
garia, Montenegro and Servia, which
are more or less attracted toward. her
by the prestige of the superior Hellenic
civilization, and by the dread OF the
Russian bear. This is once more dem
onstrated in a recent dispatch from St.
Petersburg stating that 1T was semi
officially pointed out" that reformation
OF an dlildllCt DtlWttn Dulhdilds Dtl 10
and Montenegro was not only for their
protection, but against Pan-Hellene as
piration in the Balkan Peninsula The
dispatch might as we'll have added
that such an alliance is not yet formed,
inasmuch as Russia is opposed to it,
though she poses as the protector and
friend of the Slav orthodox population
of the Balkans and the Carpathians.
The Little Father" on the bank OF
the Neva had emancipated these popu-
lations from the Turkish yoke only to
submit them to the knout, and he
worked against them when Bulgarians
Roumanians and Servians showed theil
displeasure at the continuance of Mus
covite practical domination. The czai
energetically opposed, in 1885, the re-
union OF Eastern Roumelia to Bulgaria
and. later, the annexation of Crete tC
Greece. Meanwhile he has constantly
supported the sultan in order to main
tain intact an inheritance which Rus
sia would be sure to appropriate If th'
Greek watch dog could be weakened Of
annihilated, a task TO which the Mus
covite is now giving his best atten

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

THAT JERSEY PRODUCE MARKET.
To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: At the earnest request of over
100 produce dealers in this city 1 will
briefly make some remarks and expla-
nations on the confining of the Jersey
market to what is known as Church
street wharf, where a large portion of
it is now located.
The bill now before our Legislature,
IL enacted into law, does not, nor is it
intended to, drive out or to keep Jer-
sey truckers from this market. Not at
ALL The intention is to give some slight
protection to our own dealers, who are
tax and rent-payers in this city. The
protection is not asked that Chester
and Philadelphia give their local deal
ers In those two cities no Jerseyman
is allowed to land and sell any of his
produce whatever. The object of our
dealers is simply to keep them off our
curb markets and to confne them to
the wharves where their produce is
| landed, and the public need never fear
any eXtOrtiOn in prices on the part OF
our local dealers from the proposed
| legislation, for the great competition al
ways existing among our local dealers
will always insure first-class produce at
reasonable prices.
We have a very fine and large curb
market, and one of the best supplied
with everything to feed our citizens
that ! have ever seen in city OF 75,-
600 inhabitants. The supplies come
from all over the county, also from
Pennsylvania and Maryland, for pro-
duce is hauled to this market for the
distance of twenty miles. Almost al
nationalities are engaged in selling II
on our street We have the Russian
and Polish Jew, the Italian, the Greek
German, Irish, and last, but not least
the native Wilmingtonian. Is there
city or state in the Union that does no
give some protection in all lines o
b trade? If there is / do not know it. l
is reasonable to believe that one an'
all Of our citizens are anxious for tn
general prosperity of our city. TIL
| | Jerseymen spend considerable none
here for dry goods, groceries, clothin
! and other articles of merchandise, an
E we want and need their trade, and Wi
I get it all the same if they are confne
e to selling their truck TO our wharve'
= for this is a good port, the only goo
e available market for them. So let a
S live. and give our citizens and the pre-
duce growers in all parts Of our stat
a fair chance to make a decent living
and all work to the end for a create

RoosEvELTIsM IN THE NAvY.

ROOSENEIT1SM IN THE NAVY.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, the ex-
president and terror of the Metropoli-
tan Police Board, who is now assistant
secretary OF the navy, has already COM
menced to fulfill his work in regard to
reforming our official marine. AS a
starter, he has set to work to "Roose-
welt" the Brooklyn Navy Yard, whittier
he has gone for the purpose of inves-
tigating the charges of misconduct that
have been made against certain Off
cials. These charges are numerous
and specific. 1t is alleged that the civil
service reform rules have been fla-
grantly violated; that favoritism has
prevailed in nearly all Of the depart
ments, and that in some of them there
has been dishonesty of a bolder type.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Roose-
welt will be an expert investigator and
a just judge. He has a habit OF getting
at the bottom of things and in this in.
stance his authority will not be ham
pered by having to share 1t with three
or four others. He is a better single
head than part of a plural-headed
body. One of the peremptory men who
find It difficult 10 put their views into
lesser intelligences, he has either to be
served by his peers or work alone. Such
men were Stanton and Bismarck. They
were both very much older than Roose-
welt now is when they attained world
wide prominence, and both had the ad-
vantage of acting on grand stage and
of dealing with subjects OF the first inn
portance. Afforded similar opportun-
ity Mr.. Roosevelt would probably show
that in essential respects he possesses
qualities that would produce results al
most equally significant. His combat
iveness is not the least admirable fea-
ture Of his makeup, for It is backed
by rare intelligence and the most scru-
pulous sense Of hozesty.
Evening journal., 1897-05-27

Referring TO Mr.. Gladstone's letter to
the Cretan4 insurgent leader. the Lon
don Evening News says: THE sub
stance Of this malignant drivel is be-
meath argument, and the form is only
worth notice because Of the writer,
and the influence which he still has,
and is prepared to use for mischief.
The only excuse for it is dotage, and,
unhappily. the dotage OF one who has
never had the feelings OF an English
man and has now seemingly lost even
the sentiments OF a gentleman" The
Evening News is the newspaper which
is owned and controlled by German
Jews.
