FORCING THEM TO LEAVE
EFFECT OF RUsSIA'S POLICY ON THE
PERSECUTED JEWS.
One Paper Warns Them that They
Have n Year I'm Which to Become
Christians-RiOts in Warsaw.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 24.-While it is
not intended to imply that the govern
ment's Jewish policy aims at stimulating
Jewish emigration, observers expect that
this will be the result of it. 1t is note
worthy, however that M. Kronshevan. the
editor of the Bessaratz. the anti-Semitic
paper of Kischineff, writing after the mas
sacre, oratorically addressed the Jews in
an article in this way:
Become Christians and our brothers
and enjoy all the privileges of Russian
citizenship. II not, you have one year to
go where you please. After that term has
expired there must not remain a single
Jew In Russia unless he is Christianized,
and thereafter entrance to Russia will be
forbidden to the Jews forever
NJ Kronshevan's defenders include, be-
sides the Novoe Vremya and other nation
alist papers, the director of the depart
ment of police, NJ. Lopoukhen, who, on re-
turning from Kischineff told a leading lib
eral journalist that Kronshevan was 1.-The
only man in Russia who had not been
bought by the Jews"
Warsaw that on May the workmen there
unfurled red flags, shouted "Down with
the Autocracy," and sang revolutionary
songs. A thousand men participated ac-
lively and many more passively in this
demonstration. The affair was suppressed
by the Cossacks and police.

ENID. I. T., May A.-Hundreds OF per-

the bottoms carrying houses and every

warning whilo most of its citizens were
asleep. Within a few minutes a hundred
houses were partly or completely sub
merged. Rescuers went to work immedi-
ately and all last night tabored industri-
ously saving persons from perilous posi-
tions and aiding those driven from their
homes. To-day it was found that several
hundred were homeless. Many pitiable
scenes were witnessed as the people stood
around waiting for the water to subside.
Many had lost everything they possessed.
The citizens are busily engaged relieving
the distress, but the means at hand are
inadequate. The rainfall the past ten days
has been the heaviest in the history OF
Oklahoma, and indications are that more
will follow.
Reports Of losses In the country west OF
Enid are meagre, but 1t is believed that
heavy damage was done.

He came Of good stock. The Puritans
gave England her greatest ruler and her

In Wesley. Nearly every man called 10
great heights had a great mother. The
Gracchi, Julius Caesar, Washington. Ma

great company Susannah Wesley easily
finds herself at the head. Adam Clark

Latin were studied and mastered The
classics were not taught with little dab

Latin. as is the custom in modern schools
He mastered logic. too, and philosophy.
He roamed the wide fields of literature
and knew the poets intimately.
HIS VAST LABORS.'
Vast are the results of his literary work

He was the first University Extension

For the common people he poured forth
