LEOPOLD COINS PROTEST


NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE alleged anti
5cmotc prejudice existing In this country
and displayed In steadily Increasing acts
OF violence toward the Jews In tho
poorer quarters OF Manhattan and
Brooklyn, was made tho subject OF a
lengthy letter sent on New Years day

president states that IN the prosecu-
tion Of his missionary work he has con-
tinually thrust upon his notice the ever
Increasing hatred displayed in this city
toward the Jew. until he has found 81
his imperative duty TO sound note OF
warning. Tho letter continues:

YALE FOOTBALL PRACTICE.

Promising Yale Player Said to be h.
 jured at the Field Yesterday-Light
 Practice-Heavy Material.
 A rumor was current yesterday that one of Yales most promising football candidates had been permanently inca pacitated at the first practice of the season, which was held at the Yale field yesterday afternoon. Raynham Town shend, 1900 s., one of the most likely ends, was said to have dislocated his knee, MT. Townshend could not be found at his home last night but it is probable that the report of his injury is exaggerated Observers said that when about to catch the first punt Town shend stumbled, but was not seriously hurt The news, however, was quite damper to the supporters of the Yale eleven, coming as 1t did after several other discouraging reports It will be remembered that Townshend was kept from playing last year because of an in jury to his knee. This fact probably gave credence to yesterdays rumor.
 The practice yesterday was otherwise encouraging. The work was light, con sisting of bunting and catching falling on che ball. About forty-five candidates were present, but as yet no coaches. A parcel of coaches is expected during the week, There seems to be promise of considerable heavy material for the line this fall, and the new men of the enter ing classes are coming in strongly. Cunha and Mcconnell, both of the law school, are at present the leading can- didates for center.

Inc Grand.

Graham's Southern Speciality compa-
 ny was the attraction at the Grand last
 night. The company is composed of
 colored people, all being artists in thsir
 lines Included in the company are q

 one of the special features of the exce-
 lent programme. The performance is

 tire company in a number of up-to-date
 songs and dances, The olio is opened by Madam Flower in a number of ex- cellent songs, which highly delighted the large audience. She was followed by Leo Gowongo, very clever magician, who did some very good sleight-of hand
 work. I'urber and Davis acrobatie comedians, were also we'll received. The black mascots, Al and Mamie Anderson, in a sketch entitled The Coon and the Cherub,' also made a good impression. Others deserving of special mention are Al Brown, monologue comedian; Grun- dy, Murray and Grundy and Harris and Matthews. The performance closes with a grand cake walk in which all the com pany appears and it was the general opinion that it was one of the beet of the kind ever given at the Grand. All who enjoy to see southern people and hear them sing all the old-time planta- tion songs cannot afford to miss the re- maining performances. The company will appear this and tomorrow even ings and tomorrow afternoon. Good seats at the matinee 20 cents and 25 cents; evening, 10 cents, 20 cents, 30 cents and 50 cents.
