JEWS IN SCHOOLS
AND THE COLLEGES,

From the New York Sum-
OF the $40 girls who passed success
fully the examinations for admission
to the Normal College this month the
great majority are Jews. More than
fiye-sixths of the whole number came
from the public schools, of which for
riany years past the best scholars have
been of that race chiefly.
The names of these girls indicate
the great variety of nationalities now
making up the population Of New
York. Polish Jewish names are numer-
ous and all the different countries
from which of late years has come so
large Jewish immigration are repre-
sented in the list. Next come Irish
names, but relatively their number is
MT great, and of the purely English
there are comparatively few. Scandi-
navian names are noticeable. Consid-
ering the large Italian population now
here, the small number of girls repre-
senting that race would be surprising
if it were not that the great mass OF
these Italians are still newcomers.
Eventually, doubtless, we shall see
sueL names frequent among the more
proficient scolars of the public schools.
Already they are beginning to appear
in the lists OF the more adroit politi-
clans of the town. and as time goes on
we shall have to count more and more
with the subtle Italian intellect in our
politics.
II is the Jews, however, who are i'm
proving the advantages Of the public
schools most industriously and most
effectively, and from them the boys
and girls pass to the free colleges be-
yoId, where they are always in power
full force.
OF about eight hundred graduates
from the public schools admitted to the
free city college for boys. the vast ma
jcrity also are of the Jewish race, the
proportionate number of other races
being even smaller than among the
girls admitted TO the Normal College.
English names are even rarer than
among the girls, but relatively there
are more Italian. though. perhaps, few
er Irish names Take, as an example OF
many. the successful pupils of the
school sending the greatest number,

There's plenty of water up the
Valley" said Capt. Pratt, at the water
works department. yesterday, Ito keep
everything going until the Paiama
pump will be set in motion.
THAT will be in about thirty days, l
think, as the machinery is all on the
ground and the foundations are ready
to receive it. The new pump viii lift

100000 gallons day.

Oh, that's another matter, with which
we have nothing to do. The electric

The city supply is drawn from No. /
reservoir Any mishaps to No. 2 reser-
voir, such as the breaking of the mains
by blasting or from other causes, will
intefere with the electric plant, though
it will have no effect on the city water
supply.
"lesn continued Capt. Pratt, "the
water in the new Palsma wells Is very
good and the analyses which have been
made are perfectly satisfactory. The
quality of the water is not quite as good
as that from the Beretania street wells,
but as of a superior quality

Again Committed to Heresy.

The Democratic party of 1900 has

as to whether a formidable number Of

Fate and I.

Wise men tell me thou. o Fate.

Well. | own thy prowess still
Dare | 1out thee. with my will
thou canst shatter in a span
All the earthly pride of man.
Outward things thou canst control,
But stand back rule my soul,
Death? It's such little thing
Scarcely worth thy mentioning.
What has death to do with me.
Save TO set my spirit free?
Something in me dwells. o Fate,
That can rise and dominate
Loss and sorrow and disaster.
How. then. Fate, art thou my master
In the great primeval morn
Ny immortal Will was born.
Part of that stupendous Cause
Which conceived the Solar Laws
Lit the suns and filed the seas.
Royalest of pedigrees.
That great Cause was Love. the Source.
Who most loves has most of Force.
He who harbors hate one hour
SapS the soul of Peace and Power
He who will not hate his foe
Need not dread life's hardest blow
In the realm of brotherhood.
Wishing no man aught but good.
Naught but good can come to me.
This is Loves supreme decree.
Since bar my door to hate.
What have | to fear. O Fate?
Since | fear not-Fate. | vow.
the ruler am, not thou.

From the NeU York Journal
SYRACUSE. y. Y.-One thousand pu-
pills of the High School here have started
subscription to make Miss Ethel Rood
costly present. Parents are taking an
interest in the affair. Many of the lead
ing merchants have expressed desire to
contribute and it begins TO look as if all
Syracuse were going to do honor to the
brave lass of Is whose presence of mind
prevented terrible tragedy on Wednes
day
The building was packed with pupils
and teachers when great volumes of smoke
pouring through the halls and into the
class rooms gave notice that the building
was on fire.
In an instant there was panic.
Frightened girls climbed up on the desks,
as if they thought to escape the flames
that wav and gave way to Mysteries.
Boys and young men ran about, wildly
shouting. Even the teachers seemed to
have lost tarir senses. There was rush
for the main hall and in a moment the
staircase was jammed with the srrug-
Cling and fighting mass, the stronger of
whom were beating down the weaker in
their mad frenzy to escape.
Suddenly out of the bedlam rose the
notes of piano and clear voice sing
ing: '.Oh. the Mick that Threw the
Brick
Something in the mad melody startled
the panic-stricken girls and boys into mo-
mentary forgetfulness. They stopped
their struggles and listened open-mouthed.
When the last two lines were reached,
not one voice. but hundred. were Justify
singing. and shouts of laughter showed
what pent-up flood of emotion had been
let loose by the gay singer.
1t was Miss Rood. She was a pupil
in the school. When the panic arose she
was SO frightened that she just sat at her
desk. a dumb spectator of the frightful
disorder. Then some instinct sent her
flying to the piano. and without thought
of what she was doing she began to sing
the rollieking music hall song. the first
one which came into her head.
The diversion which she created stillesI
the panic. gave the massed humanity on
the stairs time TO thin out and safely de
scend to the street. Miss Rood then
played a march and the remainder of the
pupils formed in ranks and marched in
good order down the stairs. not one OF
them bruised or injured.
The fire. which was in the basement.
was put out.

NEW YORK, Nov. L-PrOfessor II

tion among the ancient mounds Of Nip
Pur, returned today. lie brought with HIN
sone tablets marked with cuneiform in.

These tablets contain records OF civ.
nfzation which existed a. long ago a.

vheu b. found the library Of the ancient
temple OF Nippur and the remains Of 8
huge palace The library tablets throw
q strong light upon how the people lived
at Nippur about the time az which Adam
and Eve we're heretofore supposed 20 have
been living in the Garden Of Eden The
records found indicate that the civiliza-
ton then existing was many thousands
Of years old They supply many gaps
which are known to exist in the Book Of
Genesis. and they turn the light upon the
origin Of the Jews and the Jewish re-
ligion. since they are wonderfully cor
roborative Of the facts outlined in the Old
Testament
The chief point 70 be remarked. said
Professor Hilprecht this morning. lis
that We have found the first Babylonian
temple library that wss ever discovered.
and the most important and oldest in the
country No document discovered is
younger than 1000 r. c.. which is about
the period when the first blossom of Nip
pur's civilization bad ended its life by the
invasion OF the Elamites. Babylon from
that time the capital Of all Babylonia,
succeeded a. the metropolis Of the district
Of Northern Babylonia.
80 far. practically only one wing Of
the great library has been exeavated.
Nearly 1900 volumes were rescued from
the ruins th.s year. while sporadically. at
different times during the progress OF the
expeditions work some 1oOO were
found AZ various localities in the building
The discoveries noticeably affect the
knowledge % the life. religion and arts OF
the Hebrews. The library gives Us his
torical setting of the tine when Abraham
went into Palestine. Many Of the Gus
toms and religions mention Of which ex-
listed among the Hebrews will find here

ments are conclusive that the larger mass
OF the Jewish exiles transported by Neb-
