The Origin of the Word -
 Ghetto as Told by ZangwiII

The origin of the word ghetto he found in the location of the first Jewish quarter close to a cannon factory, for which there is an Italian word, the root of the term now used for Jewish settlements.
 .aThe dark ages of Judaism.' he says, s'were in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They were the only centuries when the Jewish intellect did not dominate the world. Yet the Jew financed his own prosecutions even as now he some- times finances anti-Semitic notes. He saw everything, went everywhere, became everything but Pope of Rome, and came near being that. He furnished lion tanners to Spain even as now he has given lion tanners of Spain, for Colonel Roosevelt told me the Jews in his regiment were of the bravest. The Jew was really kind Of sponge used by kings and emQerors to mop up Christian wealth and then be squeezed out The Jew when given in bond by his masters was as good as a United States bond. except that United States bond may be converted, and if Jew be converted he loses his value because Shakespeare made Shylock rich and Jessica beautiful, every lew ia rich and every Jewess beautiful wish it were so."
 MT Zangwill said he recently witnessed a play in a Jewish theater In London fouho. ed on the Dreyfus case The character or Esterhazy was taken by one or the actors, and he was hissed so loudly that he stopped to explain that he was not really Ester hazy and that he thought the latter ought to be shot. MT. Zangwill said the Jews financed Columbus on his expeditions, that his first lieutenant was Jew, and this Jew was the first to set foot on the soil of Cupa and the first to bring tobacco to the old world. The first Ghetto in Rome was de- scribed as of two parts-one less dirty and one more dirty.
 Jews of the Ghetto,' he said, were not permitted epitaphs on thier tombstones, and this saved at least a great deal of ly- ing. In carnival times at Rome the law forbade anything being thrown at Jews but fruit. One nobleman therefore selected pineapples and cocoanuts as his missiles. Only the eldest sons in Jewish families could marry Hence many Jews came to this country, although that is not the req son that this is called the United States.
 "Chid life in the Ghetto was beautiful. Religion did not mean sour faces. They had no drama to speak of, so I cannot com plain of it. Will the Jew survive the Ghet- to? Magic links of the past are frequently felt as iron letters now and are being sev- cred.
 "The faith of the Jew is one of the riddles of the Sphinx. But there is little reason to think that the end is any nearer now than 1t was in Pharaoh's time. Yet spiritual Zion must be rebuilt if the Jew is to sur vive."

THE MARIA TERESA'S
 LAST HOURS

Fort Monroe, Va, November 7.-Ensign James c. Summers, who was officer of the deck of the Vulcan when the Maria Te- resa was abandoned described the scene thus:
 'The gale in which the Teresa was tossed began with a fierce squall five minutes be- fore o'clock on the morning of November 1. Wind and sea rose at 1 o'clock. From the Teresa's bridge came the w'gwag signal by lamp, Signal Merritt to steer to wind ward The Merritt at once changed her course to north-northwest. It had been north. To us the fact that the Teresa must be kept head to sea was in itself consid- cred ominous. All signals were made to us by wigwag flag from the Teresa. We re- peated them to the Merritt or Leonidas
 "At noon the gale had increased in vio- lence, and all three vessels labored heav- fly in the sea. The Teresa plunging deeply, took much water on board over the bows and often when lighted she shipped seas amidships. Her starboard engine only was being used. It was turning thirty-eight evolutions when last reported The forward wrecking pump was sending out a large stream over the board bow
 "At ten minutes past noon the Leondas, then fully mile ahead, was signaled, Do not go so far ahead.' Thirty minutes later the Teresa signaled, Can Merritt run to Watllngs Islands safelyT
 'The Merritt answered No promptly. This was the first intimation of real dan- ger at hand.
 Almost simultaneously with the Mer- ritt's next signal, Give your orders.' came thls from the Teresa, Tell Merritt to cast off and come within hail. This was done. and her crew hauled in the 100 fathoms of hawser while on the way to assist the Te- resa. The latter then signaled. We shall abandon ship. Tell Leon!das to stand by us to windward. Do not cast on our lines.' The vulcan's commander, Lieutenant George P. Blow, immediately planned the

Late Styles in Wedding Invitations.

The prevailing styles in visiting cards and wedding invitations are similar to those of the past few seasons. The script that is greatly in vogue is the Roman and black tpye, which came into recent favor few years ago, and which has increased in popularity this season. A bookseller in Birmingham speaking yesterday of wed- ding invitations, was comparing the styles that are sent out by two well known en- graving houses in the east. "The former' he said, emphasizes the correct form, while the latter will send any number of styles to select from. For the one, there is never but one correct style a season, while the other makes a speciality of a half dozen or more styles.
 ''The wedding invitation" he said, "con- tinues large in size for the present season, the blank line in the invitation which Is to be filled out with the guests name is large ly in vogue. but where there is an un- usually large invitation list, this style means an extra amount of work. The lat est thing in wedding invitations is the monogram of the two names on the inside flap of the inside envelope, and the street name and address of bride on the outside flap.
 Church cards are enclosed in all invita- tions and it is good form to repeat the date of the wedding on the church card, the church card reading: Present this card at the church Wednesday evening, October the ninth, at nine o'clock"
 The styles for visiting and at home cards as far as thinness and size are concerned have not changed, unless there is a slight tendency to a smaller card The blank line Is seen in many reception cards. The visit Ing cards are. of course, handmade and kid finished. For reception cards, teas and any at home function the card or folded sheet is good form. The ladies in Birming- ham preferring the card

Some of the so-caIled smart fur garments are very unbecoming. The shaped founce is not a thing of beauty in fur. no matter what one may think of it swirling around the bottom of our silk and cloth frocks.

 There is tendency to round the corners of the coats and jackets, another follow ng of the cloth jacket example. But points are richer and more graceful in fur garment. Fur-trimmed coats and capes are smarter than all fur ones in most womens opinion, although most of them love fur coats. and the rouleaux of sable, mink and broadtail uss1 are very decorative.

Unparalleled Trade Year.

R. G. Dun & Co. s Weekly Review
of Trade says: 1t is year beyond par
allel, and goes to it's close with the
biggest volume of business ever seen.
Enormous tran sactions at the stock eI-
change make some difference and heavy
railroad earnings, but when all the
transportation speculative interests are
eliminated there is still much larger
business than in any other month of
the year. Last year the exports were
in volume greater than in any previous
month in the history of the country,
but this year the three weeks report
shows an increase Of 25 per cent.
against per cent. imports, which
wou Id indicate much more than $40,
900, 900 excess of exports this month.
Until now no greater volume of bust
ness has even been done in the history
of this country than in the closing
month this year.

out in the Pacific Ocean, and orders
have been sent out to the commander
of the Bennington, Captain Toussig, to
proceed at once to take possession in
the name of the United States Govern

10 north, 166 east. 1t is distant 2, 600
miles from Nihau, the westernmost OF
the Hawaiian Islands, and 1900 miles
east OF Guam. 1t is almost in direct
line between these possessions Of the
United States and is admir- ably adapted
for use as station for Pacific cable
to connect the Philippines with Hawaii
and the United States. 1t is about
three miles in length and encloses .

height of the island is eight feet above

itself of sustaining life, but it is ex-
pectsd that cable station can be main
tanned without difficulty by the erec-
tion of condenser to supply fresh
water.

these problems were under discussion

The new Dutch premier of Cape
Colony has shown his loyalty and i'm
perialism by proposing grant OF
$3.50, 900 a year to the British admir-
atty. This is not novel. Australian
colonies having contributed to the i'm
perial navy for years. 1t shows, how
ever, that there is little cause. to dis
trust the loyalty of the Afrikarder
Bund, which placed Mn Schreiner III
power. There are good reasons why
British colonies should contribute to
support of the royal navy. 1t exists
chiefly for their protection, and for
that of their commerce. Any nation
at war with colonial power is at war
with all her colonies, and war between
England and naval power would in
volve sea attack on every British colo
ny and blockade of its ports. Cana
dian public men have talked liStlessly
of contributing to the British navy.
and they should do more than talk.
Canaae-is a great beneficiary of the
navy, and should not let smaller and
poorer colonies lead it in recognition
of that benefit.

There is in the State treasury $50, 900
deposited as profit from the dispensary
since April, although the State board
declared no profit. According to
Joint resolution adopted by the general
assembly on February 21st last, this
money is to be distributed among the
public schools of the State. AS the
public schools are in need of funds, and
as no steps have been taken to disburse
this money, the Richland county board
of education, consisting of Mr.. Ellison
Capers, Jr., superintendent Of educa-
ton for Richland county, and Messrs.
Clarence E. Johnson and Z. Barton
Wallace, has filed petition for writ OF
mandamus from the supreme court
against Mr.. J. P. Derham, comptroller
general, to show cause why these funds
have not been distributed.
On July 1st Mr.. Derham distributed
$40, 900 among those counties whose re.
ceipts from poll tax, three mill tax and
supplementary school fund did not
reach the amount OF So per capita. The
amount in the State treasury derived
from the dispensary at the time the
resolution was adopted was $40, 600,
and was afterward increased to S7O,:
499, ,55, and it was this amount which
was distributed. There were "A coun-
ties which derived benefit from this
fund.
Since the distribution OF the amount
above specified, the board OF control
has declared $50, 600 profits from the
dispeasary, and it is claimed that IN
compliance with the resolution this
amount should be distributed among
the counties OF the State irrespective
of whether or not they had received
part of the $40, 400. 80.
