STATE DAY JUNE go
West pirgInia's Birthday has Been
0nlcialIy Designated.

West Virginia's birthday, Monday,
June 20, 1904, has been officially
designated by Z. c. CuIp, Secretary
of the louisiana Purchase Exposi-
ton Committee on Ceremonies, as
West Virginia Day at the Worlds
Fair, and the hope Of the West
Virginia Commission is that it can
be made one OF the most memorable
of State days at the big show next
summer.
Secretary Winchester, OF the West
Virginia Commission, is now in
correspondence with a number Of
State organizations, to which he
has suggested the desirability OF
their holding their annual meetings
of 1904 at the Worlds Fair grounds
in ST. Louis, on or about June 20, in
order that their delegates may take
part in the ceremonies OF West Vir-
ginia Day. He is receiving great
encouragement, and IL is anticipated
that a number Of the secret and
fraternal organizations at their meet
ing this summer will act favorably
on the suggestion. Already the
West Virginia Editorial Association
has informally decided to meet in
ST. Louis next year, and no doubt
will make 1t point to be on hand
for the State doings.
Assistant Secretary Archer, oi
the West Virginia Commission, re-
Gently suggested to President ].
slidell Brown, Of the West Virginia
Editorial Association that the
Association take a side trip this fall
to 81. Louis, so as TO visit the
Worlds Fair grounds and arrive al

coming fair. Mr. Brown replied AZ
follows
'1t is hardly likely that we can
arrange 70 60 this year, as it ia
generally understood we will attend
the Exposition next year Our
Editorial Association meets al
Charleston 9th, and the matter will
be brought before the convention
and definite action taken in regard
to the trip to ST. Louis in 1904"

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.

Many Republican leaders, who,
in the recent erstwhile, were going
about wearing worn, haggard
and hunted expression, are now
walking the streets OF the Nations
Capital wearing a broad and expan
sive smile that somewhat resembles
a crack in a frozen liver. Where.
fore ? Simply because on the srst
of July last the statute of Limitation
ran and they are forever barred
from prosecution for the misdeeds
and peculation they indGlged in
while holding positions of honor
and trust under the National Gov
ernment three years ago. There
are many men who ought to have
been indicted and would have been
had not President Roosevelt told
Fourth Assistant Postmaster. Cen
eral Bristow not to investigate any
of the cases where the statute of
Limitation would run this year. 1t
was known here also that Perry s.
Heath, the Secretary of the Repub-
lican National Committee, would
have been one of the first to be
indicted, along with Machen, il the
Republican leaders had not stepped
in and put veto to the thing. Mr..
Heath knows too much of the inside
workings Of the cogwheels and oiling
that the different parts of the
machine received in the last two
National campaigns. He might, as
Rathbone threatened 20 do, "Pull
down the pillars OF the temple, and
that would be dangerous to many
in high places and leave the Repub-
licab skeleton exposed in all ia
hideousness. The man who invented
the statute Of limitations should have
a monument erected to his memory
by the Republican leaders. for they
know how much tribulaiion be saved
them. The next convention of that
party should pass the hat around,
and no one should be more liberal
in his donation than President
Roosevelt. for il has saved him a
world Of annoyance and publicity,
that might have jcopardized his
political future. An excellent slogan
for the Republicans next year would
be Yive la Statute Of Limitations

Boaroz heard her through in surprise
and with conflicting emotions. There

he deemed it policy to bottle his wrath,
overlook the most offensive rcbukc his
vanity had ever received and submit
to what was evidently just decision.

HALE A MILLION,
Il Careful Estimate OF the Jewish
Population of New York.

Population of New York.
The Jewish World publishes a care
full estimate of the number Of Jews in
Greater New York. based for the first
time on the only sure statistical foun-
dalton, the number of Jewish hurials
as recorded by the board of health.
These amounted in 1901 to 1897. and
as the death rate in the most congested
Jewish district is little over Is per
1000 this implies population of 533,-
1913 in the middle of 1901. Since that
time no less than 49, have arrived
at New York and stayed there, while
by natural increase of births over
deaths another 400 would be added
up to Aug. of this year, making a
grand total of 5S4. 7SS
That this is rather under than over
the actual state of the population Is
shown in various ways The number
Of Jewish marriages In Manhattan
alone In 1901 was 5062. which, at a
,ery high marriage rate of 10 per 1000,
would imply population of p6,2oO,
to which have to he added the 10000
Jews of Brooklyn and the increase by
before. The high rate of marriage is
duo to the fact that so large a proper
ton OF the Jewish immigrants are
adults. three bachelors 10 every two
spinsters
Again, since 1881 the number of Jew.
sh immigrants has been counted each
year and aruounts to date to 62I 300
who have arrived in New York, OF
whom 4J9, 900 have stayed there. Count
ing the a., ZOO Jews who were in New
York in 1881 and the natural increase
during the twenty-one years as 1Oo,-
9O3, a total Is reached of 609,95S.
A further confirmation Is obtained
from the natlonaltics Of the residents
of New York as declared by the cen
sus of 1000 Taking the Jewish per-
ccntage of those either born in Russia
or Of Russian parentage as SO per cent
would give 306fO5; Austria at 70 per
cent, 1"' "''' r''1aN~ ~ g per cent.

THE APPROACHING ORDEAL.

"FWN HE American has escaped!'
was the cry that spread
n through Edelweiss the next
morning.
1t brought undisguised relief to the
faces of thousands. There was not one
who uphraided Baron Dangoss for his
astounding negligence. Never before
had criminal escaped from the tow

bcgone tone, was that the prison had
not been constructed or manned for
such clever sCoundres as Yankees

The full story of the daring break
for liberty flashed from lip to lip dur
Ing the day, and it was known all over
the water swept city before noon.
Baron Dangloss himself had gone to
the prisoners cell early in the morning
mystifed by the continued absence Of
the guard. The door was locked, but
from within came groans and cries.
Alarmed at once, the captain procured
duplicate keys and entered the cell.
There he found the helpless, blood COW

almost dead from loss of blood The
clothes of the American We're on the
floor. while his own were missing, gone
with the prisoner.
Oghot ms soon rs he was able related
his experience OF the night before. 1t
was while making his rounds at mid
night that he heard means from the
cell. Animated by feeling Of pity, he
opened the slab door and asked if he

lying on the bed, apparently suffering
He said something which the guard
could not understand, but which he
took to be a plea for assistance. Not
suspectng a trick. the kindly guard
unlocked the second door and stepped
10 the bedside only to have the sick
man rise suddenly and deal him Il
treacherous blow over the head with
the heavy stool he had secrctod behind
him. Oghot knew nothing of what fol
lowed, SO effective was the blow. When
he regained consciousness, he was w.
Ing on the bed just as the captain had
found him. The poor fellow, over
whelmed by the enormity Of his mis-
take, begged Dancloss to shoot him mt
once. But Dangloss had him conveyed
TO the hospital ward and tenderly cared
for.
Three guards in one of the Offices

that some ono had gone through his
private apartment. AS the prisoner
had taken Ogbot's keys, he expert
enced little difficulty in getting outside
the gates. But. vowed Dangloss storm

quired the efforts Of all the policemen
in Edelweiss. The chagrin of the grim
old captain, who had never lost IA piis
oner was pitful to behold.
The forenoon was half over before
Harry Anguish heard of his friends
escape. To say that he was paralyzcd
would be putting it much too mildly
There is no language that can ade
quately describe his sensations. For
getting his bodyguard, he tore down
the street toward tie prison, wild VIII
