MASSACRE
OF JEWS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-A special
meeting of the cabinet was held late
this afternoon, the first since the adj
journment of congress. 1t is sup
posed Panama was the chief topic,
although a number of minor depart
mental matters were to be consider
ed. 1t is likely also the proposed
massacre Of Jews at Kishineff on
Jewish Christmas will be brought UP,
the president having received many
appeals from organizations to inter-
cede with the car. 1t is believed the
only thing that can be done by Ameri-
ca is to direct the ambassador at ST.
Petersburg to acquaint the Russian
foreign Office with these appeals. A
request to the car to take action on
the predicted outrage would give Sc
rious offense without any gain.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

It Will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign Of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
iain'ss Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse. or even
after the rough cough appears. and
1t will dispel all symptoms of Group.
In this way all danger and anxiety
may be avoided. This remedy is
used by thousands of mothers and
has never been known to fail. 1t is,
in fact. the only remedy that can al
ways be depended upon and that is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale
by all druggists.

Rose Coghlan made substantial
hit in Charles Frohman's gorgeous pro-
duction of "Ulyses." She played PEN
elope to the Ulysses of Tyrone Power,
and has received nothing but praise
for the consummate art with which she
played the part. Miss Coghlan has
been prominent on the American stage
for a number of years, but has never
done a better piece of work than she
did in this production.
She is now playing the leading part
in ''The Greatest Thing in the World"

Poverty, so lean,

HIS LAST PRACTICAL JOKE.

G. VI. Harger tells in a Western pa
per the story Of the way in which a
lawyer came to abandon practical jok-
ing. The senior lawyer OF the bar in
certain county was a courteous gen
tleman Of the old school. Of whom his
juniors were fond. This old lawyer
was very near sighted. but had Il hab-
1t, when addressing a jury. Of taking
of his glasses.
One day when he was thus speak
ing. and his spectacles were lying on
the table. his back was turned to the
other members Of the bar. The lawyer
to whom aIluslon has been made no
ticed on the table a piece of tissue
paper. and saw In this a chance to
play a joke on the older man.
With penknife he cut out pieces
Of the tissue-paper just large enough
to cover the lenses Of the spectacles,
and with a little muclage fastened
them to the glasses. The paper was
scarcely noticeable, but II was enough
to prevent vision through the glasses.
Presently the old lawyer had occa-
sion to read some paper In the course
of his address He came back to the
table, put on the glasses, and attempt
ed to read. He strained his eyes. re-
adjusted the glasses, and tried again.
Then a deadly pallor oyerspread his
face, which was not In the least anus
ing to see. He staggered to a chair.
The young lawyers gathered around
him.
MY God, gentlemen" he said, II
am blind! have feared It for years.
Then he dropped his face in his hands.
The courtroom was hushed. Be
fore any one could speak. however
he had lifted his head and perceived
that he could see again. He examined
his glasses, and as he rubbed the It's
sue-paper. he flushed with Indignation.
Not a person In the room found In the
incident anything to smile at,-not
even the one who had perpetrated the
