all races of men. The Jewish beggar is not impossible, perhaps; such thing may exist, but there are few men that can say they have seen that spectacle. The Jew has been staged in many uncomplimentary forms, but, so far as l know, no dramatist has done him the injustice to stage him as a beggar. Whenever a Jew has real need to beg. his people save him from the necessity of doing it. The charitable in- stitution of the Jews are supported by Jewish money, and amply. The Jews make no noise about 1t; it is done quietly; they do not nag and poster and harass us for contributions they give us peace, and set us an example-an example which we have not found ourselves able to follow
 Speaking of the Jews law-abidng spirit, Dr. Pell says that a Hebrew is rarely found in prison, and recalls the statement of Governor Vance of North Carolina, who, when pardoning the only Jew in the state penitentiary, wrote: "I take pleasure in saying that I sign the pardon in part as a recognition of the good and law-ap1ding character of our Jewish ctizens, this be- ing the first serious case brought to my notice on the part of that people,"
 In defending the Jews against the charge So oIten made that ne IS not, and In the nature of things cannot be, patriot, pr. Pell quotes the Rev. Madison c. Peters. who says in his Justice to the Jew" that until very recently the Jews were rarely ever permitted the oportunity of fighting for their country but whenever they have been allowed to enter the lists they have proved that the contumey heaped upon them had not quenched their manhood"
 Tt is well known" says Dr. Pell, that during the revolution large proportion of the sinews of war were provided by patriot ic Jews Hayne Solomon Of Philadelphia gave $6OO,0OO for this purpose, not one penny of which has ever been repaid to his heirs. Benjamin Levy of Phil adelphia and Benjamin Jacobs of New York were among the signers of the bills of cred 1t for the Continental Congress of 1776, while Samuel Lyon of New York, another patriot ic Jew, signed similar bills in 1779. Isaac Moses and Herman Levy of Philadelphia contributed large sums for the support of the army in the field. A South Carolina Jew Manuel Mordecai Noah, served as an officer on Washington's staff and gave one hundred thousand dollars for the support of the army. In an unpublished letter of Jared

improved In Louisiana there would be no normal and industrial school for negroes but for the Peabody fund. In Mississippi there was not as much being done could be desired but the fund had been of great help. In North Carolina education was considered as secondary matter to party success South Carolina conditions are more favorable, but in Georgia the outlook Is gloomy.
 The jails are filled with negroes born since the war, and many of the race show symptoms of insanity, or afflicted with dis eases unknown before the war And yet ,ne commissioner says more money has been furnished by the Peabody fund tor the education of the whites. The report from
 Iexas is favorable. The negro there is not oEly being benefited educationally, but ag
 grculturally. Alabama reports that the State Is under lasting obligations to the
 eabody rund for aid There has not been year since freedom came to the negro that has witnessed such widespread dis cussion of all phases of his condition as the present one. The commissioner believes it will be most helpful for the negro. Vir- ginia reports favorably on the good work ot the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute of Virginia. One of the chief ob- jects of the school is to create in the stu dents an enthusiasm for country life. The commissioner regards it as the only system or education which offers a hopeful solu- ton of the much vexed negro problem. Virginia school statistics show an enroll nent of 241,6s6 whites and IT, 129 negroes.
 Dr. Curry reports that the distribution of the income of the Peabody fund since October l, 1899 twas as follows:
 Alabama, $5950; Arkansas, $500; Florida, s.-Oo; Georgia $o600; Louisiana, $42OO; Mis- sissippi, $2500; North Carolina. $5O50; South Carolina, $5400; Tennessee, Sl200; Texas, kS750; Virginia, $500; West Virginia, $165O; Peabody Normal College, NSl00; Scholar ships, S25, ,355.61. Total, sSi,0o5.61.

 caor-A Disaster

New York, October 1.-The big trans-At- lantic liners Campana, Penna, Ethiopia and Ems, and half dozen other steamers which sailed from their docks yesterday, were compelled by the heavy fog to anchor in the lower bay last night They all passed out early today, but there was still much fog, making 1t necessary for them to pro- ceed with caution.
 The Old Dominion Line steamship Ham, ilton, bound here from Norfolk, ran into and sank the Phelidelphia schooner A. A Shaw, coal laden, bound for Providence three miles Northeast End lightship early this morning. Captain Smith and seven men comprising the shooner's crew, were saved and brought here on the Hamilton. The Hamiltin was running at ten knots at the time and struck the Shaw in the dense fog cutting her almost in two.

Praying for Life

 The sound came closer. : Great Jerusalem! The old blind fool will be right on top of me in a minit-whoa, Ball!'
 Neal kicked little dirt on Jacks head and Jack began to pray:

 Neal could hold in no longer and shouted a laugh whicn might have been heard two miles, which was about as far as Jack chased hdm when he got out.
