THE HANUKAH LIGHTS.

We plead for more extended and more universal practice of those hal- lowed and time-honored ceremonies which link us in thought and feeling with the worthiest of our sires. We would fain see this Festival of Lights serving as veritable beacon in Israel's camp, lighting up the flame of genu- inc religious enthusiasm, enkindling us to pardonable pride in our historical lineage. invoking to emulation and striving in the future. Especially to the Younger generation does Hanukah make it's most stirring appeal, and the community would be falling short of it's duty did 1t not so effect it that the old time rejuyenation of the race become a symbol of the annual rejuvenation of Judaism in the young and receptive Jewish heart. We have all heard the story of the Jewish lad who had for some time observed his mother making rapid and elaborate preparations for ! the keeping of Christmas and wwho was impelled to the query: Mamma, do the Christians also keep Christmas ?''-- American Hebrew.

quisition Of the Oregon country was a fact of immense importance in our his- tory, first giving US place on the Pa cifc seaboard, and making ready the way for our ascendancv in the com merce of the greatest of oceans. The centennial of our establishment upon the Western coast by the expedition of Lewis and Clark is to be celebrated at Portland.

of 1861 he was employed on the Boston Ledger, and when that paper was sus- pended he was for brief period with the Traveller. In 1862 he began his du- ties on the Herald and continued until his death.
 For years he was connected with the sporting department, and was an au- thority on cricket. As legislative re- porter he gained reputation. In mili- tary circles he was very well known. In local reporting Mir. Bradley was careful and concise, and several large cases, notably the Bussey Woods mur- der and the Pemberton mill disaster, were covered by him. Mir. Bradley was twice married, and his two sons and a widow survive him.

The foreman was surprised, Mir. Eld- litz said, to see eight men coming around the next day to dc the work. They told him that they were to spend three and half days on each block. The foreman demurred at this, and said there would be nothing left Of the stones if they spent this time on them; but the eight men were not to be moved. They said they had their instructions, and the foreman declined to alilW them to work. Then they built fire and sa around it, chatting and smoking for several days.
 The walking delegate, with commit tee, came around day or two later, MT. Dunn said, and said that MT. Eld- litz said, and said that MT. Dunn would have to pay two hundred dollars for the time spent by the eight men sitting around idle. MT. Dunn emphatically re- fused to pay any one for doing nothing, especially at such high rates, whereupon he was told that the union would order strikes on all the contracts of his broth CT, Thomas J. Dunn, until the two hun dred dollars was paid.
 "The strike against my brother be- cause I refuse to pay two hundred dol lars to eight men for sitting idle is pre- posterous," said Bartholomew Dunn last evening. q won't pay it, and it is safe to say my brother will not. proved to the delegate that my brother had absolutely nothing to do with the contract. We are not in partnership. Even if the eight men had been work ing two hundred dollars would have been far more than their wages, no
 matter how they were figured out."- New York Times Friday.

The Mother.

She sends her wild and noisy swarm Of children out of sight to play, Careless, it seems. of any harm
 That might befall them on their way. But she has weaker lives to rear
 Babes at her breast and at her knee And toiiing on, unmoved by fear,
 She lets her children wander free. Cntended in, the rain and sun,
 They fight and play and dream and roami Till, tired and listless, one by one
 With tagging feet they make Tor nome. And there. forgetting grief and mirth,
 Into their mothers arms they creep; And on the cool soft breast of Earth
 Her weary children fall asleep.

TNCnNSIHTENCY.

The Baltimore Sun, which is always loyal to and outspolSen for it's beloved South, isn't pleased with the criticism which in the Panama matter denounces southern Democracy for its inconsist- ency in denouncing theft, but accept ing the stolen goods. The Sun says
 that the people of the South had noth- ing to do with the strategy" by which the executive department of the gov
 ernment obtained concessions from
 Panama for an interoceanic waterway.
 Their representatives in congress were
 not consulted in advance of the coup;
 their support was not enlisted nor was
 their approval desired. Probably if the views of the South had been ascertain
 ed before the recent climax in Panama it would have been found that the peo- pie of that section were opposed to any invasion of the rights of Colombia or any "s1nart practice" which might re- fleet on the nations honor and reputa- ton for fair dealing. Any imputation
 of improper motives in the South, the
 Sun points out, applies with greater force to New England, to New York
 and Pennsylvania, to the Middle West and Northwest and to the Pacific coast. Of the fifty-seven senators representing these States and constituting almost Q two-thirds majority of the senate only l two are considered as possible oppo- nents of the treaty. Shall it be said
 that the people of nearly two-thirds of the States not only approve of receiv- | ing "stolen goods" but applaud the burglary?
 There is so much inconsistency all around in this matter that perhaps it isn't fair to call attention to any special | instance.

RICHNESS.

Connecticut has been comfortable fl- nancially for some time, but she isn't in it with Minnesota. That State is not only without public debt, but has money to invest. Her officials are look ing about for some safe capitalist or municipality in need of ready money to take an immediate loan Of s1OOOOO i'll gold, with the promise of being able to place $S00.oo0 more within three months. Minnesota's trust funds now amount to S20. O0o, 900, and Governor Van Sant says that within twenty years they will amount to s7O.ooo,OOO. The State treas urer is sending out circulars asking brokers to suggest good State or muni- cipal bonds for tl.e investment of her surplus money, which is the proceeds of her sales of school lands, swamp lands and stumpage rights, and of the rentals os State lands in the mineral ranges. The State has 8 vast acreage of un- touched timber lands. which is held in reserve for future contingencies. Doubtless Minnesota will soon see some of the dangers of a surplus, and it | isn't likely that hers will be allowed to
 get unwieldy. It is to be hoped that | when she does start in to cut it down
 she will have something to show for the money,

A SINGULAR STRIKE.

Furnishing One Brother on Another's
 Account.
 It was reported at the headquarters of the Building Trades Employers as- sociation yesterday that Contractor Thomas J. Dunn has strike on his hands unique even in the present year of remarkable building strikes. The Bluestone Cutters Union has ordered out it's members on all his paving and other contracts in this city because, 1t is alleged his brother, Bartholomew Dunn, general contractor, refuses to pay two hundred dollars as wages for eight men for sitting around doing noth- ling for several days at city contract he has in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, Charles l.. Eldlitz, president if the Building Trades Employers associa- |tion, in telling the story of this strike yesterday evening said:
 Bartholomew Dunn had contract for two-thousand-foot wall at Sunset Park, the ciping of which, was blue- stone. By rule of the union the stone, if it comes in the ordinary coping lengths of twenty feet or so, can be dressed at the quarry, but blocks of eight feet or less in length must be dressed where the men are working. The wall runs in curve for about eigh- ty feet at one end, and for this curve ten blocks eight feet long were used. MT. Dunn did not think it worth while to get these dressed here, or perhaps did not think about it at all.
 "A walking delegate came around however, and told Mir. Dunn that the union rules were violated: In irder to avoid trouble, it was agreed that the union should send two men around to dress the eight blocks over again which, it was thought, would take about two days"

Thomas D. Bradley Was Reporter on
 Boston Paper.
 Thomas D. Bradley, member for about half a century of the Boston Her aid reportorial staff, and whose long years of service in various capacities on various journals in New England made him almost the Nestor of the craft, died at his home, 21 EdgeWood street, Roxbury, early last evening. Mir. Bradley's death followed an illness of four months duration and resulted in the main from causes incidental to old age. . *..:
 MT. Bradley was born in Manchester, England, August 16, 1920, and when a young man came to the state. He made Lowell his first home in the new coun- try. His first newspaper work was on the staff of the vox Populi. Later he entered the employ of the Manchester cotton mills as a clerk. He left Lowell in 1856 and began work with the Boston Atlas in 1857. In 1859, 1860 and q part

4sOTHER FAIR IN SIGHT.

We are not long without a "fair." St.
 Louis will be the site of the next one
 next year, and there will soon be one in
 Portland, Oregon. A bill is pending be-
 fore congress providing for the securing
 of government aid for "a national, in-
 ternational and Oriental exhibition of
 arts industries. manufactures and the
 products of rivers, soil, mine, forest and
 sea, at Portland, Oregon" It is propos-
 ed to held this fair some time between
 1904 and 1906. to commemorate the cen-
 tennial of the exploration of the North- west country by Captains Meriwether, Lewis and Clark. Only $2,OO0,0Oo has been asked of the federal government but every State that has been benefited by the discoveries of these officers is ex- pected to make handsome contribution. Already Oregon, California, Washing ton, Idaho. Utah, Montana, North Da- kota, Minnesota, and Missouri have signified their intention to participate in this celebration, by appropriating large sums of money for buildings and exhib- | it's. The promoters of this fair have met with so much encouragement that they are confident of success. The president in his recent message endorsed their scheme in the following emphatic
 words: "The expedition of Lewis and Clark across the continent marked the beginning of the process of exploration and colonization which thrust our na- tional boundary to the Pacific. The &C.,

Chartreuse is going to be the central figure of remarkable lawsuit. The French government, through it's official liquidator, claims that by the forfeiture clauses of the law it becomes vested, not only in all the trade mark and the patent rights, but even in the very for mula or recipe itself, and the action will shortly be tried at Grenoble, with Father Key, the late procurator of the monastery and legal depository of it's rights, as defendant. The manufacture was first placed under the protection of the law by Father Grocer in 1871. A merely nominal value of four pounds was placed upon the business when he transferred his rights to his successor, Father Gramier; but when the latter reIinquished them about six years ago to Father Key the value was declared at about e1S0 000-a years turnover.

The curious spectacle of a battery of Italian artillery bombarding a moun- tain was witnessed in Savoy recently. At Notre Dame de Briancon there was q. landslide which sent 10000 cubic yards of rock into the valley, blocking the highways and the roadways. When an attempt was made to clear it away it was discovered that another slip was imminent. It was decided first to use dynamite. to dislodge the loose rock about the mountains crest, 1000 feet above the valley. This seemed to be too hazardous, so two heavy guns were hauled to the top of another mountain, 2.o0O yards away, and began to bonn bard the offending summit with com mon shell. The practice was excellent, and in two hours over 200 yards of rock were dislodged. The next day the job was finished with powerful melinite shells.

Mrs. Mary Lee, who recently died at White Waltharn, England, was the old- est public house landlady in the coun- try, for she was ninety years old. The Bee Hive, which she had superintended for more than half a century, was be- lieved to be the best-conducted house in England, for no complaint was ever made against it. Over the fireplace in the barroom stands the notice: "No swearing or foul language permitted in this room or indecent songs allowed to be sung. Any one infringing the above will be expelled" And often the pie turesque old lady, with her cheerful un- wrinkled face, would walk into the room on Sunday evenings, bearing her old Bible, and read the Scriptures to an audience that listened with respect to her explanations and comment.
