PRICE ON HER HEAD.
SOCIETY OFFERS $1,000 FOR
MISS JEWETT'S SCALP.
4 Sequel Of the Recent Riots The
Woman Who Denounced the Killing
Of Charles and Others by Mob of
Lawless Whites. 81

| There is much excitement in two
I widely separated sections Of the coun
try over a sequel of the recent bloody
| scenes in the city of New Orleans, La.
and as result the states Of Louisiana
and Massachusetts, are, SO to speak
| scowling at each other with unmistak-
able viciousness. The Green Turtle
club, semi-pOlitical organization OF
New Orleans, has threatened the life
and set the price Of $1,000 on the head
Of Miss Lillian ClytOn Jewett OF Bo5-
ton, who headed a mass meeting OF
Boston negroes a few nights ago AMI
declared war on southern whites. A
Boston dispatch says Miss Jewett has
secured 10000 negro crusaders willing
to march to New Orleans. and that
$4,000 was raised to equip them and to
send an advance agent
Miss Jewett is president OF the Anti
Lynching league OF Boston and the
recent killing Of Charles and other ne
groes without trial by lawless whites
excited the woman and her followers
Miss Jewett made a fiery speech, in
which she denounced the whites OF
New Orleans in uEmeasured terms and
declared that she would head a cru
SADIE against them. Excitement ran
high, and one Of the speakers, the Rev.
B. w. Farris, exclaimed: If Robert
Charles could hold / eco people at bay.
what could 1900 negroes do?''
One speaker recognized a man in
the audience who, he declared, was a
former slave holder in New Orleans.
This started panic during which all
OF the whites and half of the negroes
left the church. but the negroes re-
turned when quiet had bean restored
When the news Of this meeting
reached New Orleans the Green Turtle
club, which is a representative south
ern club OF over 100 members, was
stirred to great anger. IN fe,! days
she received letter postmarked New
Orleans. 1t read:
I'VE would give $1,000 reward for
your scalp in preference to any neg~o
All JOuE COHSIeRdLiDIl. lou may g
white in the eyes of Boston people, bat
in our eyes you are blacker than Rob-
ert Charles. We therefore invite you
to come down. Our members are anx-
iously awaiting your arrival to get the
prize that Is offered for your head"
This was signed members Green
Turtle club, No. 1912 Annette street,
New Orleans, La" The whole thing
started In the southern city as Joke,
but the Boston people took the matter
seriously and now the Green Turtle
members are in earnest and say they
propose to stand back OF their words.
The letter to Miss Jewett further says:
Seeing that you threaten to come
to New Orleans with mob Of 10000 |
persons, we invite you to come as tho
blacks Joan OF Arc, and we assure you
that your band Of crusaders would get
killed in less time than it took Charles |!
10 kill the police officers" That this
Is seriously meant is shown by the
act that these words were duly en-
ered on the clubs minutes.

Sporting goods men in Chicago say
that every Sunday not less than 10000
people leave the city to fish. Among al!
the summer sports none is really 50
popular as angling This Is shown by
the large and constant sale Of tackle.
The department stores sell huge guam
titles of it every Saturday morning.
They also sell live bait. minnows and
frogs in wholesale lots. Some Of the
purchasers go no farther than the lake

Mortgages Were Foreclnsed.
No one knows precisely the extent OF
Hetty Green's wealth. 1t consists for
the most part Of government bonds,
railroad stocks and mortgages, accord
Ing to the Ladies' Home Journal. She
says she is not so fond Of government
bonds since the finances OF the nation
have become polluted with politics.
Good mortgages Of any kind are now
her favorite form Of investn ent. If all
tn. mortgages she holds were fore
closed tomorrow twenty eight churches
Of various denominations, in almost
as many states, would become hers, and
four cemeteries would be added to her
real estate. Besides there would be
blocks Of great business buildings and
splendid city houses. theaters, livery
stables and hotels, country residences
farms and ranches. factory buildings
and thousands Of acres OF valuable land
in all parts Of the country. Several
years ago she made a tour OF inspec-
ton OF all the property on which she
held mortgages. She spent two years
travelling and sta!d at forty hotels in
as many cities. Since then she has
added largely to her holdings Of this
kind. The most conservative estimates
places Mrs. Green's wealth at 100000.
600, but it Is probably more. She. her
self. won't discuss the matter, except
TO saw that 1t is overstated.

FEAST OF THE PASSOVER
1T WAS OBSERVED LAST EVENING
AT MOUNT Zion.

The beginning of the Jewish Feast of
the Passover was observed with special
religious services last evening at the
Mount Zion synagogue. The services be-
gan at 6 o'clock, and were conducted by
Rabbi Rypins, of Mount Zion congrega-
ton. The altar of the church was deco
rated with white lilies and green foliage.
The Passover service that is held in the
synagogue is always simple, the greater
part of the feast being celebrated later at
the nome OF the congregation, but the
music of the Passover service last even
ing was especially beautiful The songs,
for the most part, are a collection of di-
vine chants voiced in some of the loftiest
passage Of the Old Testament The mu-
sic last evening was Goldstein's beautiful
festival service, sung by Miss Florence
Marion Pace, soprano; Miss Maud Earl
Burdette. cOntralto; Harry George, tenor,
anG II. E. Phillips, baritone Mr.. Wheat
on was organist. The lessons We're read
by the rabbi, and responded to by the
congregation. For the most part these
lessons were in English, but now and
then the eXhortations were in Hebrew
and the sonorous tongue lent added SOL
ennity to the services. The synagogue
service lasted but little over nalf an hour
AT their homes orthodox Jews last even
ing observed what is known as the cere-
mony OF Sedar. 1t consists in singing
songs of mediation; reciting poems bear
ing on the exodus from Egypt and in re-
citing prayers. A part of the ceremony
is the drinking of wine. 1t is first blessed
by the head of the family, and then all
are expected to partake of it, the wine
cup being synabolicai of the cup of saliva
ton. The feast of the Passover lasts
eight days, and during the entire feast
bitter herbs and roasts meats are par
taken of, the herbs and the meat being
symbolical Of the Paschal lamb. The
main features of the celebration consists
of the eating of unleavened bread
The historical basis Of the Passover is
the celebration of the redemption of the
Jews from Egypt, but to the Jews of to-
day the feast is also a celebration of his
hopes for q final redemption of humanity;
for the final establishment of human free

REPEAL OF STAMP TAX
MINNESOTA DRUGGISTS SEND A
DELEGATE EAST TO URGE 1T.

II. W. Rietzke, secretary of the State
pharmaceutical association, and presi-
dent of the local organiza ton, left last
night for Washington, where he will ap-
pear before the ways and means commit
tee of the house as one of a committee
to urge that the war tax be removed
from proprietary articles and patent med
icines handled by. druggists. The hear
Ing will take place on the 18th, and it is
expected that representatives will be
present from every state in the Union.
MIR. Rietzke will represent Minnesota
Members of the drug trade urge that a
point has now been reached where the
war tax should be removed from articles
handled by them. There is at the pres
ent time a surplus war revenue fund in
the national treasury of $50, 100000, and
the amount is rapidly increasing. Aside
from the discrimination which they claim
was made against the drug trade, the
tax itself Is claimed to be grossly un-
just. Three or four articles are singled
out for taxation, while hundreds OF 9TH
ers escape the burden of taxation.
The Dill now pending before congress
removes the tax, and is supported by the
wholesale and retail drug men all over
the country, as Well as the manufacture
ers.
