FUNERAL OF RABBI WISE.
A Large Gathering of Rabbits and
Prominent Hebrews-A Memorial
Fund to be Collected.

A Large Gathering of Rabbis and
Prominent Hebrews-A Memorial
Fund to be Collected.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 29.-The
funeral to-day of DIR. Isaac NJ. Wise
brought to this city a large gathering
of rabbis and prominent Hebrews.
The family funeral occurred at an
early hour at the residence. Then the
body lay in state at the Plum street
temple from $50 a. N. until 10 a. m.
Thousands of people viewed the re-
mains. Business was suspended by
oil Hebrews in this city. The gradu-
ates of the Hebrew Union College were
largely represented among the visitors.
The altar of the temple was deliberately
draped. The drapery in the church of
DR.. Wise was ordered to remain one
year and the trustees will not have
this apartment occupied during that
period.
Members of the graduating classes
Of the Union Hebrew College were ac-
tive pall-bearers. The honorary pail
bearsers were the trustees of the tenn
pie, past presidents and charter mem
bers with two members each from 9TH
er congregations, institutions and So
cieties, including Scottish Rite Ma
sons, Odd Fellows and representatives
of the University of Cincinnati. The
special musical service was arranged
By Prof. A. Nembach, organist of the
temple.
Thousands of messages of condo
lence were received from all over the
world.
The temple was wholly inadequate
to accommodate the throng that press
ed for admittance. A psalm was sung,
Rabbi Philipson offered prayer, Rabbi
Louis Grossman delivered the funeral
grafton and the services closed with
the singing of another psalm.
A long line of carriages then follow
ed the body to the cemetery in Walnut
Hills.
The alumni of the Hebrew Union
College at a meeting this afternoon de-
cided to celebrate the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the college, which comes
next October, by raising an endow-
ment fund of $500, 600 in memory of
Rabbi Wise, the founder of the col
lege, and to call the endowment the
Isaac M. Wise memorial fund. The
alumni will act in cooperation with
the union of American Hebrew con-
gregations and the board of governors
of the college. All rabbis in the oun
try will be appealed to to devote their
sermons on Sabbath, April Z, to the
life work of Dr.. Wise and to make a
plea for the endowment of the college
in his memory.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Prof. A. E.

Cuba, who arrived here to-day. discussing
the results of his work in Cuba, said:

Mr.. Frye has come to the United States
to arrange a trip for 1000 of these teachers
next summer His plan is to spend six
weeks at Harvard with the teachers and
then take them to New York, Chicago,

County Prisoners in the Illinois
State Prison.
CHICAGO, March 29.-Upon the de-
cision of Judge Dunno in regard to
the contention Of attorneys of the
former banker E. S. Dreyer, now I'M
der a penitentiary sentence for en-
bezzlement of 1915, 900 Of the funds
of the West Park Board, may de-
pend the liberty of every convict sent
to Joliet from Cook county since 1895.
Dreyer's attorneys claim that the nit
timus in the clients case, which pro-
vided that he should be confined I'M
til released by the State Board of Par
dons," was in error, in that the parole
law of 1895 provided that the State
Board of Pardons had no authority to
release, but only to recommend such
action to the Governor. This techni-
cal point, Dreyer's counsel claim, con-
stituted an error sufficient to warrant
his release.
Judge Dunno asked the States At
torney if the mittimi were printed
forms. Upon receiving the reply that
all prisoners were sent to Joliet upon
this form mittimus, the court remark
ed: IF the contention is true there
will not be many men from Cook
county left in Joliet"
The State will argue against the
point tomorrow.

KRUGER'S LITTLE JOKES.
The Old Man Capable of Some Tar
and Humorous Replies to British
Diplomat and Ministers.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The World
correspondent who interviewed Pres
ident Kruger at Pretoria. February
18th, says:
Mr.. Kruger explained at length the
efforts which the British authorities
made to seal up Delagoa bay and then
told of the message he sent to Lord
Salisbury concerning it. He said he
refused to have any more correspon-
dence with Mr.. Chamberlain, but fire.
quently cabled to Lord Salisbury to
allow food stuffs to enter through Del
agoa Bay or they would be compelled
to feed the 5000 British prisoners in
Pretoria on maize porridge.
Lord Salisbury did not reply, but a
message signed Chamberlain ex-
planned that the embargo on foodstuffs
had been raised three days before. Mr..
Kruger laughed heartily when he told
that the Chamberlain message was
telegraphed back to Lord Salisbury
with the query rs this true?"
The President added: I'VE have not
heard from Chamberlain SINCE" and
laughed for fully half a minute. e
Secretary Reitz then told of a second
series of communications between the
President and Lord Salisbury con-
corning the prisoners who were taken
by the British at Douglas, Cape Col
ony, and who, although they became
citizens of the Orange Free State, are
being tried in Cape Town for high
treason.
The President sent a cablegram di-
rectly to Lord Salisbury demanding
that the Douglas prisoners be treat
ed only as prisoners of war and not
as reasonable subjects of Her Majesty,
stated that if they were executed re-
pirsals would be made.
Lord Salisbury replied that if one of
the Pretoria prisoners were injured
both President Steyn and President
Kruger would be hanged at the con-
clusion of the war. The President
thought that was harsh language to
use and according to Mr.. Reitz's state
ment replied in effect:
q ahead with your hanging but
remember that your son, Lord Edward
Cecil is in Mafeking."
Mr.. Kruger made no reply to this
message.
My burghers are fighting bravely,'
he said with much earnestness, and
they will continue to do so until Great
Britain asks for peace or withdraws
her soldiers. We cannot expect to con-
quer several hundred thousand men in
a day. but my burghers are going
ahead rapidly, as you can see by look
ing at the place where We keep u
prisoners.
Even as your forefathers fought
against great odds in the revolution
airy war so are we struggling, and ever
as God was with your people so is He
with us. We have fought with Eng
land before and we defeated her SOL
diers and we WIFI be victorious again.

hard marching before Kroonstadt is
reached. but there seems nc certainty
that Kroonstadt will entirely occupy
Lord Roberts attention. The advance
when it does occur will probably be
made by parallel columns along a
broad front. The movements of the
cavalry force and part of the infantry
towards Glen can scarcely be construed
as an actual advance, though they I'M
doubtedly point to the imminence Of
such a step. But only a small part OF
Gen. Gatacre's forces have yet arrived
at Bloemfontein, and until that move
ment is completed it is not likely Lord
Roberts will start for Pretoria.
The latest news from Bloemfontein
contained in a dispatch published in
the second edition of the Times and
dated Wednesday, March %, again
dwells upon the necessity for not max
ing a premature advance. This cor
respondent, who on several occasions
seemed to have been chosen as the
mouth-piece Of Lord Roberts, cables:
1T should be clearly understood that
the present halt in the vicinity of
Bloemfontein is absolutely necessary
as a military precaution. 1t should be
borne in mind that we are about to
enter on a new phase of the operations
with the main communications through
a recently occupied hostile country,
and that the recent successes necesS1-
tated a great expenditure OF horse
power. Here and in Natal we shall
move on the commencement of the
South African winter and must be pre-
pared to face the effects OF the first
frost upon such animals as may be
affected with horse sickness. 1t would
be suicidal to push troops forward till
they are equipped to meet the expos
ure of winter. Horses, clothing and
food we must have"
The correspondent adds that the
Boer forces have been re-equipped and
he says he is fully convinced that
$50, 900 foreign troops have been land
ed to aid the Republics.
From this the inference might be
drawn that the London critics have
been premature in prophesying an inn
mediate advance as at Kimberley and
Paardeberg. The best based conjec-
ture is we'll nigh worthless as to when

A deputation of Dutch church min
listers had an audience of Premier
Schreiner at Cape Town to-day. The
ministers urged the separation of the
sick and well Boer prisoners and ask
ed that the sick be not sent to ST.
Helena.
Mr.. Schreiner replied that he had no
power in such matters, but would use
his friendly offices. He added that
he had made strong representations
to his imperial government against
sending any of the prisoners to st. He
lena, but without success.
1t is reported that the prison trans
ports will sail for st. Helena at the
end of the week.
From Natal and Mafeking there is
