tory made a profit before.

train on the Norfolk & Western Rail-
way, was wantonly shot and killed

Jail at Williamson. A mob Of rail
road men gathered, with the inten-
ton of hanging the negro, but the

Granville Presley, merchant at
Rome, in Lincoln county, went to
Charleston last week to buy we'd
ding suit. He got on spree, which
lasted until he reached home Friday
evening, when he began drinking Gin
namon drops and peppermint to get
sober. From 10 o'clock that night

Word has reached Parkersburg that
the parents of Forest Castro, Of Sandy
Vile, near that place, had received
notice that their son, who was SOL
der in Cuba, and who has recently
been imprisoned for insubordination,
was under sentence Of death and was
to have been executed. Castro had
been court-martialed, and notified his
parents Of his sentence, which report
was verified by a communication re-
ceived from his commanding officers.
The offence which cost his life is sup
posed to have been committed in re-
venge for his imprisonment. He was
an incorrigible boy, and his parents
had hoped that a term in the army
would tend to bring about reforma-
ton in his habits.

THE assertion is made, and on reas-
onably good military authority, that
an army of 100000 men will be need
ed to thoroughly subdue the Filipinos,
and that after they shall have been
subdued this army will be required
to keep them in subsection, as almost
every town and village must be a mil
itary post. Just think of it Before
we interfered with Spain and her
possessions our standing army Of 25,-
900 men was ample. Now an amy
four times as large is necessary to
maintain order in one province that
we have gotten on our hands. Would
any sane, unprejudiced man have ad-
vocated war with Spain if such a
state of affairs could have been fore
seen?

IT is said that an anti-McKinley
movement among the colOred voters is
to be thoroughly organized, with Bos-
ton as headquarters. We doubt if it
spreads very far, for the GO. P. has
a cinch on the colored vote. The
colored people cannot prevent Mr..
McKinley's denomination, but they
can very readily make his reelection
an impossibility. Deprived of the
colOred vote, no Republican Presiden-
tial candidate would stand the slight
est chance of winning.

It's queer how circumstances alter
cases. At Clarksburg few days ago
a man beat his wife, and the 7ele-
gram publicly expressed the opinion
that he was fit subject for lynch law.
Yet this same Telegram is most piously
indignant and awfully Mortified at
those southern men who lynched a
black brute who had invaded his en-
ployers home, murdered the head of
the family as he sat at supper with his
wife and little children, and then in
the blood of the slaughtered husband
committed the worst crime that fend
could indict upon helpless woman.
What shallow inconsistency there is in
partisan newspapers, anyhow.

Augustus Saint Gaudens is looked upon
as the chief of the younger American
school of sculptors. He was born in Dub
lin. of French and Irish parentage, and
came to this country when he was six
weeks old He began his artistic career as
a cameo cutter.
He is a graduate of the Cooper Union
Art School and he studied in Paris under
Jouffray and in Rome. Among his best
known works are the statue OF Admiral
Farragut, in Madison Square, New York;
his statue of Lincoln in this city; his bas
relief of the angels adorning the cross in
St. Thomas Church. New York. and his re-
liefs in Trinity Church in Boston and the
Church of the Ascension in New York.
Among his earlier works were a statue
of Hiawatha, which was purchased by Gov
ernor Morgan of New York, and the beau
tiful tomb with the angels which he made
for Governor Morgan's grave, and which
was destroyed.
Much controversy was caused by the
medal which he designed for the Worlds
Fair in Chicago. 1t was finally declared
immoral by Congress and he made a new
design His model Of seal for the new
public library in Boston was also declared
immoral by the common council of that
city.
He received an honorable mention in the
Paris Salon in 1880. and his equestrian
statue of General Sherman in the present
salon has been much admired.

AWAKENING OF JUDAISM.
DIR. HOllander Discusses the Young
Man and the Synagogue.


| BALTIMORE. Nov. 21.-Prof. Jacob H.
| Hollander, Of the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. delivered lecture last night before
the Baltimore Section of the National
Council Of Jewish Women, at their regular
meeting, held in the vestry rooms of the
Madison Avenue Synagogue.
The subject was The Young Man and
the Synagogue. In part DIR. Hollander
said: The characteristic elements in con-
temporary Jewish thought are unrest and
cropping. The straining effort of the pulpit,
| the tentative attitude of the pew. and the
varying utterances Of the press attest pc
riod of intellectual tension. In a large
| measure the uneasy awakening of Judaism
| is normal symptom Of a universal trem-
or finding its identical counterpart in the
unsettled state of every religious faith. To
some extent it is peculiar-the deferred
! expression of native elements, reacting
from rather than tending toward a reform
movement.
NO phase of this unrest is more con-
| spicuous than that resulting from the atti-
| tude of the young Jew to the synagogue.
| At the present time there are many
| thoughtful minds who find in the apparent
apathy of young Israel the concern Of the
| present and the menace of the future. 1t
| is something more tnan unwarranted and
senseless optimism to venture the contra
ry opinion and to express the opinion that
a most significant element in contemporary
Judaism is the religious potentiality Of its
| youth; that the apparent unconcern OF the
young Jew to congregationalism DOES not
represent his real attitude toward Judaism.
| In other words, at this time. of all Others
| when the drift from the formally organized
| church is at least conceivable, the real
status of its best elements is a religious
| preparedness. There is no open blaze of
| Maccabean fire, but there is a potential
force, ready. at the proper touch, to spring
| into shape as militant faith and an ag-
gressive influence making for historic Ju-
| daism. Here. as so often elsewhere, Mr..
! Israel Zangwill has interpreted subtle
phase of modern Judaism, and has voiced
| the inarticulate effort of young Israel in
the single word Transitional
