1t is conceded fact, that if the Hebrew were
to withdraw their patronage from the stage, over
half the theatres in this country would close, and
out managers One manager of Hebrew persuasion
alone produces fifty per cent of all the good attrac-
tions presented upon the American stage while it is
claimed eighty per cent of all the reputable the
atrical companies travelling this continent, and sixty
seven of the most prominent theatres, besides nnu-
merabe lesser ones, either owned controlled
by descendants of Judah.
A prominent manager recently made the conser-
vative estimate that from his closest observation
nearly sixty per cent of the regular theatregoers of
Chicago were Hebrews, while New York claims even
a larger percentage, and yet. strange to say, the
number of Hebrew actors in legitimate drama
very few. It is true there great many Hebrews
in comedy vaudeville and opera, but inside the
cred port ais of the classic or Shakesperan drama,
few Hebrews are found.
There is one however, who has reached almost
the apex of dramatic art, and who is artist OF
consummate ability and that is Lewis Morrison,
gentleman VIII is proud of his race and one whose
reputation and abilities endear him to not only his
own people, but to all those who make his acquaint
ance. Mr.. Morrison is gentleml of commanding
presence "a face cast in heroic mold and general
contour that is Chesterfedan. He carries his fifty
three summers with the same bearing that he did
during the civil and carried victory with the ia
nous forlorn hope at Port Hudson.

panied by the military doctors placed under his or

addressed her in the following words:
Madame cannot leave France without
thanking YOU not alone in the name of the German
nation, but in the name of humanity. We can never

But the heroic work at the hospitals was by no
means the end of her mission. She happy that
the war was over and her thousands of patients had
been restored to life and health. But the question,
"What is to become of the French captives in the
prisons of Germany" agitated her noble soul and,
so she determined after her visit to Berlin where
Empress Augusta conferred upon Madame Cahen
the order of the Cross Of the Geneva Convention to
travel through the length and breadth Of Germany.
In the Of these travels she visited sixtysix
fortresses military prisons. and the effect of these
visits that within ten single days she forwarded
to the French Government alphabetical list of
$4,000 soldiers. This is unique achievement for
a in the annals of history! Her pathetic
narrative of how she discovered hermprisoned coun-

narrative she says:

TO TAKE SUBSCRIPTIONS
School Board Decides on a Plan
to Raise Revenue.
IT APPOINTS AN AGENT
George s. Miller Will Have Charge CT

Can Be Secured to Keep
Schools Open.

George S. Miller. the county asses
SCR, is to have charge of securing sub
scrlptlons for the purpose Of maintain
ing the city schools for the full term.
This was decided at meeting Of the
school trustees held last evening. Mr..
Miller was to have been present, but
was detained, SO this evening the trus-
tees will have a consultation with him
III regard to the matter.
At last nights meeting a resolution
was passed, having been introduced by
Trustee Welcome, fixing the end of .he
regular school term at Jan. 81, 1900
This merely was a formality. Funds
from the legal sources of revenue will
be exhausted by that time. If any La
bilities have been contracted 'for the
term in the supposition that the term
would end next summer, they will, in
View of this resolution. be void after
Jan. 81. for the board never, until last
evening, fixed the date for closing the
term. If there are any obligations ex-
tant "for the term they would be
binding on the board after Jan. 81 an
less this resolution had passed, al
though there might be no funds to
meet them.

close the schools Jan. 81, but then the
legal term will end because the legal
funds will have been exhausted 1t is
believed by the trustees that enough
subscriptions can be secured to run the
schools until within at most a month
of the time it was intended to close
before the supreme court declared lille

revenue. The special tax being void.
all payments must be in the nature Ct
subscriptions, and it will be Mr. Mil
ler's duty to collect them.
1t was the opinion of the trustees,
expressed at last nights meeting. that
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
would subscribe its proportion of the
illegal special tax provided assurances
are given that a fair number of other
property owners do likewise. The trus-
tees consider it eminently fair and just
that some such assurance should be
given the company, as that corpora
tons proportion of the illegal 5000
special tax is about so per cent. of that
sum- The company has made no de.in-
lite statement in regard to the matter
as yet, but these are the views of the
trustees.
