GREAT NATION
The Jews of the World Might Con-
 Htitute.

Three million Jews live in Russia, where they are shut up in the western provinces and villainously treated. If he ventures to live outside the Jew ish pale in Russia a Hebrew has to carry on some humble trade and the richest banker in Odessa, if any Rus sian has a grudge against him, may be compelled to work as cobbler on pain of banishment Naturally the Jews retaliate, and delight in getting Rus sian officials and nobles under their power with loans of money. One mill lion five hundred thousand Jews live in the Austrian empire, where they are persecuted. The present mayor and corporation of Vienna were elected for the express purpose of bullying the Jewish community France has 80,
 900 Jews, Roumania has 100000 Jews, Germany 100000, Holland 80,000, and Italy 50,000. Great Britain has S0,
 GOO, including many of our most no
 table and popular public men. Europe has 6,0000 Jews, America 10000, Africa 500,000, Asia 250,000, and Aus tralasia 100000 So altogether there are 7,120,000 of this nation, which is pretty fair, considering that 5000 years ago they only numbered about 3,000,- GOO, and the whole civilized world has been massacring and bullying them ever since. They seem to be by far the most capable race on earth. There is not a single art industry 0r science in which they have not excelled.

GIaastone,s Phenomenal Memory.

MT. Gladstone, who was well known as a great admirer cf Homer's works, had a phenomenal memory, and was able at any moment to recite the whole of his 1861 translation of the first book of the IIiad, consisti of 611 lines. A guest at Hawarden once asked him if he could do the same with the translation of his rival, Lord Derby. For reply he took the vol ume, which he had not loo'-ed at for many years, and handed it to his ques- tioner, and commenced at the line. "Of Peleus son, Achilles, sing, 0 muse, and stayed not until he had rolled out, with sonorous voice and flashing eye, the whole of the first book, comprising TIT lines, and this, too, without single mistake.

one the same plan as at Jamesburg Re
form School,. AS he institution grows,
new buildings will be added, which will
enable the management to separate the
inmates of the school into such groups
as will make it easy for the instructors to
handle them. 1t will separate the ineor-
rigible and vicious from those disposed to
moral Improvement. 1t will also have the
effect of settling the question that is a
source of irritation in the institution,
n that is the mixing of colored and
white girls.
Not in years has the State Of New Jer-
sey had so much improvements going on
in the State institutions at the same time.
Most of the work is new, excepting that
which is being completed at Morris Plains

begun several years ago, and the last APP
preparation was made for the purpose OF
securing the finishing touches.

p R. RS NEW LOCOMOTIVE
The "Came1-back' Makes Its First
Appeareuce ON the Road.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has come to
it at last n this morning there rolled
into the station in this city the COM
pany's first "camel back locomotive. The
company, as is we'll known, has been ex-
p~erimenting for some time to obtain the
best locomotive, even going so far as to
bring an engine from England to this
country. The result of the experiments
was the Pennsylvania standard locomo-
tive which was supposed to be perfection.
Some time ago the company began ex-
perimenting with the ''camel back which
is the clumsy looking locomotive which
has the cab apparently in the middle of
the boiler. The results were SO satisfac-
tory that the company began to build
three in the Juniata shops. The one
which appeared today was the first n
completed and left the shops day before
Yesterday. Tt will continue to run on
this division between Jersey City and
Philadelphia, while the other two when
completed, will run between Philadelphia
and Atlantic City. The new engine weighs
1871. 900 pounds to 49,. 900 pounds, the weight
of the standard.

Fresh Air Fund Begging.

We do not desire to commit ourselves
broadly as TO the merits OF newspaper
fresh air funds, and we have no special
desire TO interfere with the advertising
which a canny neighbor secures annually
upon the pretext of CHARITY But it is
time that some one interfered to stop the
demoralizing habit of begging pennies on
the streets. in which far too many chill
dren are INDUCING in the name of this
fund. There is something repulsive to all
right feeling in the spectacle of girls OIL
twelve and thirteen, who should be cuiti-
waiting modesty and reserve OF deport-
ment, b~uttonholing strange men upon the
public streets in order to sell tickets for
fairs and entertainments for the benefit

scheme.
We do not admire Mr.. Elbridge T. Gerry
proving his course in stamping out this
abuse in New York, where it was con-
Quoted at various times in the name of
the Tribune" the World Life and
probably other papers. We have no Mr..
Gerry here, but if the public in general
would interest themselves to the extent
of refusing all appeals made in this way,
and firmly r%ebuking all who approach

sance and a danger would soon be

An Unfortunate nzix-Up.

The care1essness of a printer, yesterday.
made I'll Jersey City News responsible
for a deeply regretted blunder. A display
head, intended for a story of the mys-
teriousS death of a woman, was placed
over q portion of the account of the Has
brouck Institutes commencement, while
the story of the woman's death was
added to the commencement article.
It did not take the readers of 1.-THE
News long to detect the error and prop
erly separate the two articles as they
should have been. They then found that
in each case the news had been fully
covered, and that the error made was
purely mechanical.
We present our apologies to our friends
of Hasbrorck's and to our readers in gem
eral, and we venture to plead that such
mishaps befall 1.-THE News about as sell
dom as most papers, That 1t should hap
pen in a case where our friendly feelings
are so warmly engaged, must be set down

crisxs ana Evening POST

TO persons Of low tastes and depraveo
noentality-as ali are, who. like ourselves,
refuse 10 regard civil service reform as
the only aim worth living for-it is ex-
nuisitely refreshing to see the Evening
POST, in agohies of objection to John w.
eriggs. 1t is only three short years since
Griggs was an idol of the "Post's'-how
many of its idols have turned out to be
mere pinchbeck-and now its gorge rises
at the very mention of his name.
Griggs Is an ignorant, stupid, narrow
minded prig. He was a failure and a
nuisance as Governor of New Jersey aho
ne is altogether an impostor and TO a
considerable extent a crook as Attorney
General. 1t is a disgrace to the country
and to the Republican party that a man
with the conscience and the mental callpre
of a village attorney should be elevated
Ia two of the highest places in the eoun-
try. But assuredly, no one can sym
patbfze with the POST in the indig-
nation which It so bitterly exudes almost
every day in the week.
The POST was one of the papers that
helped make Griggs. With a natural
affinity for prigs and pharisees in the I'M
found-out stage of their career, Mr.. COD
kin inevitably pitched upon rigs as a
kindred spirit. The POST falsiied and
misrepresented the facts of history TO de-
lude the public in Griggs' interest. II
blackened dead mems names and STABBED
living ones in the back in order to turn
over their hard earned laurels to Its pro
tenn fayorite. Who does not recall Its
falsehood and rhodomontade, when Grlgss

cation against the Democratic party, and
the people were being beguiled away from
their true friend. Alexander 7. MeGin-
Now, incoherency is the slightest OF the
many changes which the organ of prlg-
gerry has to bring against the Attorney

length of accusing him of deliberate and
wilful perversion of the law.

ST. ALOYSIUs ART.
Beautiful Display of Embroid-
cry and kindergarten Work
Now on Exhibition.

There is an exceptionally fine exhibition
Of art embroidery at st. Aloysius' Acad-
envy today, which opened with the gradu-
ating exercises at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
This year there are no paintings, as the
pupils are too young in the art to do
Justice to themselves and teachers, but
the embroidery fully compensates the
loss. Some of the pieces worthy of special
mention are to be found among the
Renaissance lace exhibition The best
of these is a buffet cover. by Miss Regina
McNenny. The work is particularly fine
and the design beautiful. The other
pieces also show the same careful train
ing. They consist of buffet, table covers
and doilies, and the contributors are
Misses Eva Underhill, Mary Kennedy.
Lily Norton, Mary Cody, Katie Fay and
Elizabeth McClushin.
There are also some beautifully en-
broidered sofa pillows, the work of
Misses Regina McNenny, Amanda Heidi,
Helen Tumulty, Anna Atkinson and Per-
petua Heidi.
Besides these, there are a large num-
Der of embroidered centre pieces, an
especially handsome one of which is in
a design of red roses, the work of Miss
Catherine McArdle.
In a separate room is the kindergarten
exhibition, and here are to be found
some of tine best samples of weaving,
sewing, paper folding and fancy articles
of all kinds made from paper by children
of diminutive years, ever displayed in the
city. while on the wall hangs a placard
bearing the names of the graduates in let
ters ~ingeniously made from folded pa
pers.. These children are Joseph Davis.
Lita Marsh, Helen Kerrigan, Aloysins
Weller, Loretta Irving, Helen Somers
and Eugene Whelen.
This year st. Aloysius Academy has
made more of it's commercial department
than ever before, and with a view to
advancing and increasing this depart
ment next year, has fitted up a room
with a number of beautifully euipped
banking offices, while in the typewriting
department there are a number of new
typewriters. This year there were TWEEN
ty-eight graduates in the commercial de-
partment and next year It Is expected
that this number will be doubled.

Inhuman Observation-Disclosures.

We read with amazement in the report
of Thursdays meeting of the Board of
Freeholders of the communication sent
by Mr.. Hugh H. Fox, the President of the
Board of Children's Guardians, the new
State Gerry gan submitting a request
from DR.. Mary Dunlap, of the Home for
Feeble Minded Children, at Vineland, that
children who are not of feeble mind be
sent to the institution to associate with
the inmates. This. we are told, is IN
tended as an experiment, DR.. Dunlap
being of the opinion that the constant
association with the stronger minded
children might have a beneficial effect on
those Of weaker mind.
AS a specimen of scientific brutality, we
have not seen this surpassed. Even the
Austrian doctors, who have just been de-
tected in s'vivisecting'' pauper children,
hardly reached a higher point of calm,
civilized, up-to-date atrocity.
The average unscientiic Christian Will
be apt to ask what the effect of constant
association with idiots will be ON the
children of sound mind. 1t is not only
said but believed that constant contact
with mad persons impairs and under
mines the intellect of sane adults. What,
then, are we to imagine, viii be the effect
of such association upon children in their
impressionable years? Children of feeble
mind are apt to have habits, which would
be classed as vicious, if the children were
responsible for their acts. They are apt
to be violent, undisciplined, unciean ana
many other Objectionable things. Putting
aside the subtler influences of mind upon
mind. is it cenceivabiy right or decent
that sane children should be exposed to
the evil example of irresponsible wrong
doing? Is it right that, for the sake of
a doubtful benefit to hopeless lives, hope
full ones should be deliberately wrecked?
Or have auper children no lights
which science is bound to respect?
If his is an example of the protection
which the Children's Guardians are to
give the waits of the State, Governor
voorhees, had better call a special session
of the Legislature to wipe them out of
oftaa

Detestab1e Taking.

Some lay ago, h papers OF these
parts. of various degrees of yellowness,
began the publication of a series OF
articles about an alleged ranch owner
from a Western State, who was sojourn-
ing in Hoboken for the purpose of select
ing d wife from among the unmarried
women of this vicinity. A STORY regard
ing this person was submitted to US on
the day when our local contemporaries
frst took. the subject up. We declined
10 print it. and it took only a little super
ficial inquiry to ASCERTAIN that our judg-
ment. formed on general principles. ex-
actly fits the particular circumstances OF
the case.
The stories of this man. we are assured
and believe, were almost totally faxed at
the outset. They were products of levity
ana wantonness. They were nine-tenths
imposition upon the public, pure and
simple. They were products of vicious
invention. the man himself counting for
about one-tenth and a lot of interruptions
reporters supplying an the other needed
elements of .impudence, mendacity and
fecklessness.
Probably some of the later stories have
had more foundation in fact. The original
fakes drew fire. They attracted the at
tentfon Of fools and crooks, far and wide,
and no doubt many letters have been
written to the alleged wife seeker. Yes
terday, one of the yellow journals, the
local specimen, announced that a trap
had been set for the man in question.
This is precisely why we would not print
anything on the subject. even thong i
had been genuine. In cases Of this kind
