START AGAIN At PENTEC0ST."
Russians Say That It Is the Cars Will That
the Jews be Robbed.

Berlin May 21-The singular state Of mind OF
the townspeople of Kishinef while they were
killing the Jews is described in a letter from
non-Jewish German of Odessa, received by the
relief committee here. He says:
The leaders of the bands on entering jewish
dwellings often addressed the occupants good
naturedy saying: Poor brethren, We must XIII
you. 1t is so ordered" Monstrous things were
not done until robbers began to participate
and with the Christian zealots became intoxi-
Gated The Russians say TO their educated and
tolerant countrymea who urge keeping the
peace:
"It is the Cars will that the Jews be every
where robbed. Orders have been given that we
start again at Pentecost."
The situation has become all the worse since
the important Russian papers have been pre-
vented by the censorship from freely expressing
their opinions Their behavior, almost without
exception has been excellent. Unless the st.
Petersburg government develops a more ener-
getiC policy, the events at Kishinen viii un-
doubtedly be repeated in other towns AS indi-
eating the complete disapproval of the best
classes respectable Russian lawyers are assist
ing the sufferers to obtain redress.

coNTRovERTs COUNT CAssINI.
Defence of Russian Jews by Judge Sulz-
berger

Phila delphia, May 2-Judge Meyer Sulzberger,
q well known member of the Pennsylvania judici-
ary and whom the Jews Of the country
regard emincntly qualified TO speak for the
people of his faith, in a statement TO The Associ
ated Press to-day replied to the assertions of
Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassador that the
troubles in Kishinefr due TO uprising of
peasants against the money lenders. Judge Sulz-
berger said:
Count Cassini is confronted with the fact that
there have been rapes aid murders of women. hor-
rible cruelty to babies and murders of unoffend-
ing men committed. His first instinct is to eX-
cuse the criminals and throw the blame the
victims man with that attitude of mind is not
to be argued with His real conviction, of course,
what happens them is a matter of supreme in
difference. since there are so many Of them that
he can easily spare a few thousand. 1t was the
attitude of the French mobiles before the Revolu-
ton and that it must be shared by great many
while all this massacre was occurring in Kishi-
neff. and went three days five Russian regi-
ments were quartered in the town It is there
fore certain that the police and military depart
ments permitted the massacre and are responsi-
Their responsibility is now assumed and shared
by all the people who think with Count Cassini
As regards his puerile remarks, IL is enough TO
first, that the great bulk Of the Jews of Rus
sia are the poorest people in the world and have
money to lend: second, that babies do not lend
money. and, third that murderous criminals are
usually borrowers.
On the other hand. there have been known high
officials living lives Of luxury and debauchery
who in need of many thousand rubles. and to
whose depleted pocket proceeds of loot and the
price Of protection might bring new lease of
revelrT.
No doubt in the usual relations of life the Count
after all, he is a Russian nobleman. If he wants

AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD
of restoring waste OF tissue and impover-
ishuent of the blood and nervous force
is used when you take an Alternative ex-
tract of herbs and roots, without the use
of alcohol, like DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
IN the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Along with its use one should take
exercise in the outdoor air, get all one
can of Gods sunlight and air; mild
breathing exercise practiced each day.
This Medical Discovery" gives no false
stimulation, because it does not contain
alcohol or a narcotic. It helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such ele-
n1ents in the food as are required for the
blood. Instead of cod liver oil, against
which the already sensitive stomach will
declare open rebellion, this tonic has
pacifying action upon the sensitive stoul-
ach and gives to the blood the food
elements the tissues require. Il main
taius ones nutrition by enabling him to
eat, retain, digest and assimilate nrtriti-
Gus food. It oyercomcs gastric iTita-
bility and symptoms of indigestion, and,
in this way, fever, night-sweats, head
aches, ETC., are done away with.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
puri6es the blood and entirely eradicates
the poisons that breed and feed disease.
It thus cures scrofuls, eczema, erysipe-
las, boils, pimples, and other eruptious
that mar and scar the skin. Pure blood
is essential to good health. The weak,
rundown, debilated condition which so
many people experience IS commonly
the effect of impure blood. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery not only
cleauses the blood of impurities, but it
increases the activity of the blood
