scriptions have been rendered nugatory in great part, as regards the native Jews by the legislation and municipal regula- tions of Roumania Starting from the arr bitrary and eontrovertible premise that native Jews of Roumania domioiled there for centuries are aliens not subject to foreign protection The ability of the Jew to earn even the scanty means ot existence that suffice for a frugal race has been constricted by degrees until nearly every opportunity 10 win live lihood Is denied. and until the helpless poverty of the Jew has constrained an exodus of such proportions as to cause general concern.
 "The political disabilities of the Jews of Roumania, their exclusion from the public service and the learned profess sions, the limitations of their civil rights and the imposition upon them of excep- tional taxes, involving, as they do. wrongs repugnant to the moral sense of liberal modern peoples are not so di- rectly in point for my present purpose and the public acts which attack the in- herent right of man as a bread winner in the ways of agriculture and trade. The Jews are prohibited from owning land or even from eultivating 1t as com mon laborers. They are debarred from residing in the rural districts. Many branches of petty trade and manual pro- duction are closed to them in the over crowded cities, where they are forced to dwell and engage. against fearful odds' in the desperate struggle for existence Even as ordinary artisans or hired la borers they may only find employment in the proportion of one unprotected alien to two 'Roumanians under any one em- pInxrcr

mailed it in postoffice box 209 and hid

of the wire. The hypnotist started

AT THE THEATER.

Boone Yald afforded barrels of fun
for those who witnessed his perform
ance last night. 1t is doubtful if a
more successful hypnotist ever visited
Savannah. He does his work correctly.
quickly and it is free from the faint
of "fakism. He is rare mind
reader. and performed many remark
able feats in mind-reading and hypno-
tism.
Acommittee of twelve citizens was
seated on the stage during the perform
ance. The young man whom Yaki put
to sleep Thursday was brought from
the influence of the hypnotist's power
last night on the stage. Not, however.
before the committee of twelve had sat
upon his body all at one time.
Among the remarkable things Yaki
did was writing on blackboard a word
which one of the committee had
marked in copy of the Morning
News and had taken out into the audi
ence. Another test was finding and
returning to a lady ring which two
of the committee had borrowed and
had hidden in the audience. Still an
other was finding a scarfpin in one
part of the house and sticking 1t where
the committee had pinned it in the
curtain in another part of the house,
and then, although blindfolded, re-
turning it. to its owner in the audi
ence. Among Others, was the egg and
card trick and the slate and card
trick.
The performance concluded with
Yakfs ability to mesmerize his sub
jects. Eighteen gentlemen went on the
stage, the most of whom he put to
sleep, made to run races on bicycles,
fight bees eat strawberries and do
other amusing things.
An amusing part of the entertain
ment was putting officer Jernigan to
sleep. and stiffening his legs and arms.

afternoon and tonight.
