and contributed to additional persecu-
ton. The founding of a Jewish state
is a delusion and snare. and the ad-
vocacy thereof furnishes arguments to
the enemy.
Must Avoid Fanaticism.
The Jew, to be of service, must be the
pioneer of civilization in every land.
and not the religious recluse and fanatic
of the Holy Land. Listen to the sage
advice of the true patriot of every land,
and especially TO those of the United
States, for here. and only here, will the
Jew finally find his Zion. Here he aids
in upbuilding of all the States as a
citizen, and not a Jew, and safety and
liberty lie in this, and in no other
direction.
"Oratory, hysterical sentiment, the
power to evoke tears. have no place in
this problem. Common sense. practical
work, and far seeing craftsmanship must

The suicide on Saturday of William
Waldron, in an upper room of the Cum
berIand Hotel, in Pennsylvania Avenue,
was only one chapter in family history
more replete with sadness than many
that have excited popular sympathy
Waldron was one of eight children of
Francis A. and Katherine Waldron. The
parents are natives of ireland, but came
to this country in early youth. They
met and married in Springfield, ILL.,.
where Waldron was at the time pro-
prietor OF a grocery store. When the
call for volunteers came in the civil war.
he left his wife and Oldest child, a girl,
who died, and went to the front. He
served through the war, and of his four
years away from home he spent more
than two in Southern prisons. In the
meantime the wife bravely conducted the
business, and when at the end OF the
struggle he came home physical wreck
the wife had several thousand dollars to
place in his hands.
Only One Child Remains
From Illinois the Waldrons moved to
Pennsylvania. and twenty-four years
were spent in and about Chester. Six
boys and another girl were born to
them. First came Francis. who was
born on the date of the battle of Antie-
tam, and was named for the absent
father. He received a good education,
and is professor of Latin in Rochester
University, Rochester. y. Y. OF all the
children. he is the only one who has a
home, and even he has not found it pos
sible to contribute anything to the sup

Martin Waldron. not knowing this, re-
enlisted en- route. This was in the
Fourteenth Infantry. in 1899 When he
found what an opportunity he had
thrown away. he disappeared. and from
that day neither his parents nor his
comrades have heard a word of bis
whereabouts. II is as though the earth
had swallowed him
William, the remaining twin, was the
one who on Saturday ended his life in
so gruesome a manner. He enlisted in
the army while the family was visiting
the home OF the older brother in Roches-
ter He had come 10 Washington a
short time before and had passed the
civil service examination. but became
discouraged that no opening came 10

A German Autodrome.

Automobiling has become so popular
in Germany that racing track will
be constructed for the lovers of the
sport. 1t will be called an autodrome,
and eighty acres of land have been
acquired for the purpose in the neigh.
borhood Of Friedman, near Berlin.
The autodrome is to be sole-shaped
with two curves, north and south, and
two sHays" opposite the long side. 1t
will be macadamized, and is to have
a length of 1000 yards and a breadth of
between thirty and fifty yards.
Thus the motor track will be adapt
ed for cycle road racing. But the cycle
races will mostly take place on the
special racing track, 500 yards long. adj

TEA.aooT CARVINGS.
How the Fantastic Wooden objects From
tho Far East Are Made.

tho Far East Are Made.
The fantastic wooden objects which
come from the Far East and are known
as tea-root carvings have long been the
basis of a prosperous industry in the
populous city of Foo-Chow Strictly
speaking, the name is misnomer.
Some of the carvings are made from
old tea roots and tea trunks, but the
vast majority, nine-tenths at least, are
made from the roots and trunks of
hard wood trees.
The carvings are almost invariably
made in two parts, a pedestal and one
or more human figures fitted to the lat.
ter by pegs and holes. The former is
made from a root and the latter from
trunk. The roots are selected with con.
siderable care. They must be compar.
atively free from dry rot, decay and
worm holes, and must possess a rude
symmetry. They are cleaned, scrubbed
and scraped and sawed to about the de-
sired size. Then the artist with chisel.
gouge. knife and pincers removes root
lets and roots until the figure is COM
pleted.
The simplest design is three-!egged
pedestal, of which the base is a rough
cylinder of wens and knobs. Any mum.
Der of legs may be used. A curious
| specimen seen by the writer in the
Grand Hotel, Yokohama, has fifty legs,
| while the body has been so treated as
| to suggest horny centipede. A sec.
ond type of pedestal is the mushroom.
A third type is an animal form, such as
the buffalo, tiger, unicorn, elephant or
dragon.
| A collector in this city has one which
is clever suggestion of a hippopota-
mu@ yawning. 1t is about eighteen
| inches long, six inches thick and twelve
high. The figures are conventional an.
| tiques, beggars and savages. At times
the face is portrait, real or conven.
tional, of a famous parsonage. Cary.
ings of this sort are rare.
| Nearly always the chisel is guided
| by humor or satire. If it be saint
| who is depicted, the look of piety or
suffering is replaced by leer or
drunke gri1nace. If it be a warrior,
every limb and muscle is nodded so as
