will be the same some day.

The clergy is blamed by T. ]. Cour-
shon of belmont, S. D., for the mas
sacre of the Jews at Kishineff. Mr..
Courshon is a brother of City Ply
sician 3. Courshon.
DR.. Courshon has received the fol-
lowing clipping from the Sioux City
Journal. 1t will be interesting TO those
who have followed the massacre:
To bigotry and intolerance Mr..
Courshon lays the blame for the mas
sacre at Kishineff, and says Count
Cassini prevaricates for suggesting that
the appalling affair was due to the
hatred of the peasants for Jewish
money lenders.
Mr.. Courshon. who is a member Of
the firm of Courshon & Bierwagen
at belmont, and who was born in
Russia, writes a strong letter to Wal
lace H. Swan, secretary of the Con-
sumers' Ice Company, of which the
following is a part:
The condition of the Jews in Russia
is eplorable-without a parallel I'M
agine an intelligent, bright and en-
ergetic race deprived absolutely of
all rights. civil and political; deprived
of all avenues to make an honest liv-

be an officer, regardless of his fitness
and intellectual abilities. He can
never hope to occupy any civil posi-
ton. There is no end to what he is
forbidden to do or to be, and then
comes that wretch, Count Cassini, and
tells the enlightened American people
that the reason of the massacre was
a pentup hatred of the peasants
against the Jewish money lenders

IN THE SOUP.

No question about his having been on
a fishing trip, for there was the mark
of the suns reflection upon the water
and the skin on his wrists was hanging
in ribbons that looked like a village
street after a confetti and serpentine
battle. And so it happened that his
story of the day was listened to with
more than ordinary interest. People do
go A-fishin' occasionally, and even
"amachures" have luck sometimes. Big
fish have been caught, not far from
Savannah and the man had reputa-
ton upon which he could borrow money

was heard to remark, and we caught
forty-three fish. I got the thirteen and
the last one was a regular lallapaloosa.

Col. Quinn while Not Denying Re-
port Declines to Affirm 1t.
There Is a hitch somewhere in the
proceedings in the Augusta bridge
cases. While it is announced from
Washington that Col. Quinn, the Unit
ed States engineer who held the hear
ing of the matter, has recommended to
the department that the four bridges
mentioned in the application be pro-
vided with draws, the colonel is unwill-
ing to give out any information regard
ing the matter until his report has been
returned from Washington.
1t is also stated at the department in
Washington, according to press dis
patches, that the papers in the case
were all returned last week to Col.
Quinn for the purpose of having GER
tain matters of detail Incorporated.
The papers nave not been received at
the Savannah office. Col. Quinn said
yesterday that he had been expecting
them for several days
When asked as to his finding in the
cases Col. Quinn declined to be inter-
viewed. Informed of the report from
Washington to the effect that he had
found in favor of the installation of
the draws, he expressed no surprise,
and his manner was such as to incline
one to the belief that the Washington
report is true.
1t will be remembered that the cases
are those in which the manufacturing
interests in and near Augusta are en-
deavoring by petition to force the
Southern Railroad. and other owners
of the bridges to install draws so that
navigation on the Savannah river may

is shown in the matter both here and

Youngsters Gathered Around TeIe-
graph Office During Day.
In the nighborhood of a dozen
Western Union messenger boys went
on strike yesterday and late in the
afternoon a uniformed officer was sta
toned around the offices at Bull and
Bay streets to prevent any disorder
on the part of the juvenile strikers.
Manager Killian stated last night
that the company has all the boys 1t
wants, and that during the evening
he refused to take several of the boys
back. He had discharged them for
good reasons, he stated and would
not have them in the company's serv-
ice. There were only four of these
boys, according to Supt. Killian, and
the other boys who hung around the
offices had been discharged at various
times.
The boys claimed that. when they

there has been no reduction in sal
aries. Some of the boys, he charges,
did things that made 1t out of the
question for him to permit them to
work longer with the company. He
let these boys 60 he stated, and would
not think of taking them back to
work.
The fact of the matter is we have
had too many boys at work" said
Supt. Killan. I'VE can get along very
nicely with what we have now, and
are not in the slightest trouble. We
are continually discharging and en-
ploying boys, because most of them
are worthless, or soon become so. AS
far as troubles are concerned, 1 would
rather be President Roosevelt than
to be in charge of such bunch of

He thought that the kind of education
received had much to do with race

of the Jews for example, which, in spite
of the enmity of the entire race, had
enabled this splendid race to not only
maintain itself, but to surpass in many
fields of labor. He quoted from the
United States census statistics to prove
that in proportion TO the thoroughness
of education received in a greater ratio

His experience here in cultivating the
