All the makers Of the principal wheels
have some original ideas that are calcu.
lated to please the buying public. One
of these have the outlines Of the frame
somewhat changed for this season. The
crank hanger Of the racer is dropped 2a
inches, and in otl er full-sized models ~
inches. This was done with view to
giving the chain a greater downward
pull to augment speed.
In their endeavors 10 add strength to
the frame Of the wheel it is strange how
manufacturers differ in ideas. One of
the most prominent manufacturers of
this country has this year introduced
the squared d shape front forks, al
though in former years the curved or
crescent shape fork was deemed by them
the best. Another, which last year used
the squared front forks, has sought to,
strengthen TIE frame this year by using
the crescent.shaped fork, asserting that
it is stronger than the other.

seams. For riding snap the button to-

sufficient.

The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1898-04-29
THE JEWISH SOUTH.

a decree was issued that the Jews OF Prague should
no longer be held responsible for the crimes 0 fJews in
the rest of Bohemia and that their taxes should be
equalized, but in 1923 they were required to pay
40, 900 forins per annum. In 1924 they were all ex-
PEELED. Trade began to %languish, the population pc
titioned for the return of the revenue producing body,
and in 1748 permission to return was granted, sub.
ject, however, to an annual Jew. tax of 300, OOOforins
in addition to other taxes, and this sum was exacted
up to 1848. Once when the Jews of Prague asked
for enlarged quarters, they were given the cemetery
for residence purposes-the pith Of this concession is
readily seen.
Graetz tells us that in 1908 thirteen Jews offered
to settle in Hamburg and proposed to pay for this
privilege (the equivalent of 5000 marks and 400
marks additionally per annum, but were refused. There
were Jews in Hamburg even then, but under the guise
of Christians, being tugitives who fled from the In
QUESTION and passed as Portuguese traders. Hear
ing that their brethren in Amsterdam openly pro-
fessed Judaism and were tolerated, they also lifted
their mask and demanded recognition. The Lutheran
officials raised an outcry and sought to have them
expelled, but the Senate hesitated about issuing the
decree. On account of their commercialinf1uence and
the talent of a number of their leaders, especially
physicians, the Senate put the citizens off with a de-
NAL of their presence, and when this was shown to
be a mistake, they admitted their presence, but stated
that the number was SO small they could be tolerated.
Eventually a compromise measure was formulated
by the bishops, whereby the few Jews located there
might remain. if they listened to Christian sermons
and submitted to an annual tax Of 900 marks.
Denied the privilege of public worship, they erected a
synagogue, Without permission, in 1926. The Cath
olcs having likewise been forbidden to have churches,
complained Of the favor shown the Jews whereupon
the latter put in a disclaimer, saying that they met
there only to read the Law, the Psalms and Proph-
cts, and that when they prayed it was only for the
welfare of the government. The Senate took no ac-
ton, because the Jews threatened to transfer their
capital and business to a rival city; but the clergy
demanded land apparently gained their point) that
a Christian rabbi should be designated to preach,
either in the synagogue or elsewhere.
We wholive in an age of advancing enlightenment,
in a country which has offered an asylum to the
down-trodden Of every creed, and where the rights of
individuals are more generally recognized than any
where else on the face of the globe, find it somewhat
difficult to discover the motive for some of the acts
