Work and Character of Jewish Sis

ter of Mercy.
From the Jewish Messenger.
A few years ago our Paris corre-
spondent devoted a column to the work
and character of Nine. Coralie Cahen,
describing the Jewish refuge at Neu-
lily, to which she was devoting so much
of her zeal Perhaps it was revela-
ton to our readers then TO learn Of
the services of this Jewish sister of
mercy, whose gentle ministry has now
closed OF the age of e., after thirty
years of broad and ardent philan-
thropy.
The fact that at her funeral in Paris,
on March u, military honors were
rendered to her by a picket OF infan-
try. recalls her heroism in the Franco
German war. Just before its out
break she lost both her husband and
only son. On the beginning of hostili-
ties she went to Metz, nursing more
than 300 wounded soldiers. Continu-
ing her work when that fortress fell,
she settled in VendOme, where, aided
by two nurses and seven Christian Sis
ters of mercy, she received thousands
of French and German soldiers.
When the Prussians occupied Ven
dome they wished to hold the hospital,
and plant on it the German flag. But

SPURklNG A WARNING.

Great Britain's newspapers took a
great deal of interest in the American
elections, Tuesday.
President Mckinley" declares
the London Daily News, Twill now
have free hand in the PHILIPPINES.
Nevertheless, he had better make
haste to win. He has obtained a sort
of renewed lease of public confidence,
but nothing more.'' The London
Daily Chronicle comments upon
what it terms the Presidents "bold
development of an imperialistic
policy in China" and adds that the
strengthening of the American
Squadron in Asiatic waters implies
not so much desire to promote the
nations interests in the Philippines
as to enable America to take part
in the game of international grab
that will ensue when the time comes
to partition China among the great
powers of the Old World. There was
nothing in the recent election that
gives the Administration an excuse
or justification for such a dangerous
imperial policy, and if persisted in it

A Close Estimate,

Speaking about close estimates, Gen.
eral John NJ. Wilson. chief of en-
gineers. made one some time ago. Con
gress called upon him to make an es-
Innate of the cost of an addition to
the government printing office. As II
was near the close of the session and
congress was hurriedly getting through
its work, little time was given General
Wilson to consider the matter, but he
submitted his estimate. and the appro-
priation WAS made accordingly. He
estimated that the proposed building.
according to the plans and specifica-
tions which had been drawn. would
cost S121, 121.90. The building was
completed. and there was So 16 surplus
covered back into the treasury. Gen
eral Wilson was put in charge of this
work, and he took Il great deal of in
terest in ii. He always gave credit.

MUSIC LOVERS
Found Much to Crafty
and Delight
In the Program Given at Militant
Hall Friday Night.

Akron's musical talent and lovers
of music found much to crafty and
delight the senses at the song and
piano recital given at Militant hall
Friday evening under the auspices OF
theIChurch of Our Savior.
The tenor soloist, DIR. Ion Jackson
of New York, the pianist, Frederick
Boscovitz, of Cleveland, and Chas.
S. Burnham, also of Cleveland, are
artists of superior accomplishments,
and their performing was well re-
ceived.
Although suffering with an attack
of laryngitis, DR.. Jackson evidenced
no defect in his voice. He won the
hearty applause of the audience. and
was persistently encored. His voice
was full of harmony and was well
controlled, the singer being able to
modulate it to every sentiment. The
sustaining powers were perfect, and
the program embracing songs and
arias were we'll selected.
Frederick Boscovitz, the Hungar-
ian pianOist, has remarkable touch.
He is thorough in technique and
possessed of repertoire of choice
selections. He plays from memory
alone, and plays with that skill in
dicating the master.
Mr.. Burnham, as accOmpanist, was
correct and sympathetic in all
details.

Texas Rubin and VIM. Dustman,

afternoon from a hunting trip in the
northern part of Pennsylvania. They
killed considerable game, including
a deer, and had a good time gener-

The party also visited New York
to witness the Jeffries-Sharkey
fight. All are of the opinion that
Sharkey should have been given the
decision, and say that New York
sentiment was generally in favor of
Sharkey.
Gus. Rubin was also seen at the
fight by the Akron men. He believes
that he is entitled to fight with
Jeffries, from the fact that he once
fought a 20-round draw with him,
and declares himself as being conf
dent of victory. Gus received con-
siderable attention from the sports
congregated at the fight.

FIVE government employees have

charged with committing a glaring

lican ticket plurality ranging from
10000 to 100000, it is not surprising
that the Republican politicians
should risk being sent to the peni-
tentiary to save themselves from de-
feat.
