relief ofJews from political oppression
and for rendering them such aid for
their intellectual elevation as may be
within he reach of the union; to pro-
mote The religious obstruction of the
younG by the training of competent
teachers. and generally encourage the
study Ga the scriptures and OF the ten
cts and history of Judaism. All this,
however, Is done without in any man
aer interfering with the worship, the
schools or any of the congregational
institutions. In order to carry out
these objects the union has four stand
ing committees, through which the
work Is one. These are the committee
on the Hebrew Union college, on civil
and religious rights, Oh the Sabbath
school union, and on circuit preach
ing. The Hebrew Union college ut
Cincinnati will receive much attention.
1t Is the pride of every Jewish heart
and Is the leading Jewish theological
Sc ,inary la the country. Indeed un-
til the past few years 1t was the only
one. 1t has reputation second to
no0e of its kind In the world. The
college was founded in 1875, and the
first ordination of rabies from the In
sttutioa took place in 1888. Since
then 90 rabbis have been graduated
and they now occupy some of the most
important pulpits la America and are
among the leaders IN Hebrew thought
aud work. The president of the fac
ulty Is the venerable Rev. DR. Isaac Nj,
WISE probably the most distinguished
Hebrew theoogian in America. The
president of the board Of governors Is
Bernhard Bettman Of Cincinnati.
The committee on civil ana religious
rigu,s will, in its report, consume a
considerable amount of the time of
the union In Gentle assemblage
such a committee would have 40 rea-
sou for being, but it's Importance, when
viewed from the standpoint of the
Jew, Is at once realized. In several of
the European countries Jews have
| neither the civil nor religious rights
accorded the great body OF citizens,
and the recollection OF the Russian
prosecutions of tins people only few
years ago is still fresh in the minds of
all,

possession OF Slime and Rice. The
man who sold the tickets to the brok-
ers has not been arrested. The passes
were signed by the superintendent of
the dining car department and were is
sued to the department in book form
for the. use OF its employees. Officials
OF the company did not notice the ex-
cessive use of these passes until scores
OF them had been used. The brokers,
1t Is said, had sold them for long trips,
and 1t was estimated that a revenue Of
from $1,000 to $1,000 had been diverted
through the sales. The fact that one
pass was frequently made to read good
for two or three passengers first drew
the attention OF the general ticket
auditor OF the company, and on his re-
port an investigation was set on foot.
It was then discovered that two books
OF passes had been stolen from the Of
flee OF General superintendent Shear
son Of the dining car department, and
that hundreds OF dollars worth Of the
passes had been sold and used.
