DR.. kTnfeld came to Pine Blum
in 1898 and has since beea the rabbi
of Congregation Anshe Emeth. TWo
weeks ago the doctor offered his resig-
nation to his congregation but they
refused to accept it, and elected him
for another two years. He will ask
that the resignation be accepted at
the next meeting Of his congregation.
Rabbi J. S. Kcrnfeld is one OF the
best known rabbis in the south,
and has a we'll earned reputa-
,
in Cincinnati, o., at Woodward col
lege and graduated with high honors.
He then attended the University Of
Cincinnati and took the four years
course in three years time. He grad
uated in 1898 and the same year was
ordained as rabbi by the Hebrew
Union college of Cincinnati. The call
to Pine Bluff came the same year
and Dr. Kornfeld's first ministry was
in Pine Bluff
Fer three years since coming to
Pine Bluff he did post graduate work
IN the University of Chicago during
his summer vacations. When he first
came to Pine Bluff the church here
had only sixty-five members and dur
ing his stay he has increased the
membership TO nearly double that
number. Twc, years ago a fine syna-
gogue that compares favorably with
that of any church edifice in the
south, was built. Dr. Kornfeld intro
duced the regular Sunday morning
service fer children in addition to the
service for the congregation in ger
eral. He has requently delivered ad-
dresses to the students at the high
school and his talks are always of in
terest. He was one CT the principal
speakers at the Mckinley memorial
service in 1903 and has been promi
nently identified with other public ex-
ercises. He is an indefatigable work
er and nne lOgician.
He was married to Miss Josie Blu
thenthal, daughter CT Mr. Sam Blu
thenthal, few years after he came
to Pine Bluff, and from this union
there is one child, Albert Becker
Kornfeld.
He has been associated with other
ministers Of the city in work for
the benefit CT the public good and
has made many friends regardless OF
church affiliation His loss to Pine

WONDERFUL DENTIST.
Pulled Two Million Teeth With His
Thumb and First Finger.

There has been much weeping and
wailing over the death of-a dentist,
out there are dentists and dentists.
and this one was Roman favorite.
Of immense stature, gowned in the
robe of his order, this monk-dentist
had established himself on the island
in the Tiber, where he did his work
in the open air in the little garden at
tached to his monastery, and for
nothing. His favorite instruments
were his thumb and first finger. LET
me see! Is the pain here?" he would
say, and before: the victim was aware
OF what was happening a tooth was
held up to his view.
"I have drawn 2,ooo,644 teeth he
said shortly before his death, most
ly Roman" he added. IF you do
not believe me, look under the table. .
And there, to be sure, was three
large Golfers full of teeth. "And that
is not all, by any means. Many of
my patients drop them into their
pockets as souvenirs"
However, his clients were not ali
humble. He took great pride IN
showing the photographs OF we'll
known people, their pictures with ALL
tograph signatures. Among these
were Leo XIII, and several local eel
ebrites. One day during the pontifi-
cate of Plus TX, he was called to the
vatican to draw the tooth OF high
prelate. The Pope, who had never
seen him, had him called to his pres
ence and after some conversation,
said: Dear brother, I should like
very much to have tooth pulled by
you-"
"Oh! Holy Fatherp'
"But it is impossible"
"Oh! Why?" said the monk, dlsap-
pointed.
Because" continued the Pontltt,

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1s.
The Strike Settled.

The packing house strike has been
called off, and while it is announced
that it has cost the unions several
millions, and the packers more than
it has the unions, it does not appear
who has been gamer by it.
Certainly the people who eat meat
have not gained anything. It is
I'D to them to pay the losses sustain
ed by the packers. and the packers
will collect it sooner or later.
It is always so with strikes affect
ing the output of any of the necessl-
ties Of life. If the strikers win, and
get higher wages, their employers
raise the price of the commodity
enough to cover the increase IN
wages as we'll as the losses through
inactor. If the employers win, 1t
is simply the cost of inactlon when
the consumer must stand. But IN
either case, it is the public in gen.
eral that foots the bills. No matter
who wins, the great majority loses.
Strikes should be only resorted to
as the very last resort; and not until
both employers and men have ex-
hausted every possible means to
bring about an amicable settlement
through: arbitration. A big strike
means waste. all the way around;
and we have more than once seen
how protracted strike may mean
cruel suffering. 1t is difficult mat
ter to make the public believe that
the majority Of them are not pre-
yentable if both employer and en-
ploye are really willing to meet on
the business like basis of arbitration
Atlanta Journal.
Neither party gains anything by
strike and it is awful hard for the
poor man, to go up against the
money power. There should always
be amicable relations between labor
and capital and their differences
should: be settled without strikes. 1t
is a fact, however, that the tendency
of human nature has always been
for the strong to Cypress the weak,
and money being the strong power
in this. ,land,is as rule, over-bearing.
And the poor fellow by whose labor
these large fortunes are. made has
that spark of independence in him
which at times rebels at the oppres-
sion. But it is better, if possible,
to settle the trouble without strikes,
for there is loss in the end to the
striker. He has to secure the nec-
essaries of life by his labor, and IN
this case he will have to pay the loss
to the trusts by the increase in the
price of those things he must have.

SOUTHERNERS IN
THE BAHAMAS

1t is not generally known that the
British colonies of the Bahamas were
largely colonized from America as
well as from England
After the Revolutionary War, which
resulted in the independence Of the
United States, was concluded a large
number Of Tory families in Georgia
and South Carolina, not being happy
under the new regime, left those
States and sailed over 10 the BAHIA
mas, taking with them their slaves and
household gods" and establishing
cotton plantations on the island.
They were warmly welcomed by the
British authorities. Lands were
granted to them, and they were given
privileges of self-government far ex-
ceeding those enjoyed in most British
tropical colonies.
These privileges still survive. Many
descendants OF the old Royalist fami,
lies are still 20 be found in the BAHIA
mas, the principal families being the
Darlings, Rattrays. Sands and Nal
collins, names which are well known in
the South.

THE MAN WHO
IS TAXED MOST

Of all tropical countries ruled by
white men, Java is the most tyran-
nically governed from the native point
of view. Certainly the Javanese ma
tive is the most heavily taxed per
son in the world His Dutch mas
tiers frankly rule him with the idea of
getting as much out of him as they
possibly can They would say that
the business in life OF the brown
man is to ease the white mans bur
den.
The native of Java has to pay a
poll tax for the mere right TO live.
But that is only the beginning. He
pays quit rent on his land; he pays
title of all which that land yields
him; he is bound to set aside part
Of his holding for the growing OF
tobacco and coffee, and, those crops
being government monopolies, he is
forced to sell them for about seventy
per cent. OF their market price.
In addition to all this, he is obliged
to keep the roads in the neighborhood
OF his home in good repair at his own
expense either in money or in man
ual toll He is subject TO "corvee
(forced labor on a certain number OF
days in each year, this unpaid labor
being devoted to public works or to
the plantations of any Europeans
who may chance to have estates in
the vicinity of his village
1t follows, as a natural consequence
that the native of Java can only sup
port himself and his family by the
most arduous and unremitting toll
In this fact lies the great merit claim
ed for the Dutch colonial system by
its supporters, for il certainly sue
ceeds in making a naturally indolent
people work in an edifying manner
But the morality of the proceeding is
another matter.

PILGRIM FATHERS OF ELEUTHERA

~VERYBODY knows what hap
- pened to the Pilgrim Fathers
- who sailed in the "Mayfower"
and founded the New Eng
land States; but there were other
shiploads of Pilgrim Fathers who left
England to colonize the lands of the
West. They have left no mark on
history, but their descendants are still
living on such forgotten islands as the
Caymans, the Caicos and the BAHIA
mas.
In the imminent room OF the Ba-
hama government, at Nassau, there is
a musty old manuscript which tells
the story of the Pilgrim Fathers of
Eleuthera, a godly band who, after
many stirring adventures, helped to
build up the colony of Virginia 1t is
tale on which Defoe might have
constructed a great romance, but IT
has lain hidden for many generations
beneath the dust and cobwebS of the
Bahama archives, and is now publish
ed for the first time
When Cromwell ruled England. one
Captain William Sayle obtained au-
thority 10 colonize the island of Eleu-
thera, in the Bahamas, on condition
that there should be in his little com
monwealth absolute liberty of con
science, every man TO enjoy his own
opinion or religion as seemeth best
to himselve, without controul or ques-
ton" The effect OF this latitudinarian
spirit is thus graphically told:
Upon these terms they furnished
him out with ship and all provisions
and necessaries for the design, and
some few persons embarked with him
and sailed to Summers Island, where
they took in Mr. Patrick Copeland, an
elder of the church there of persons
who had sailed thither for conscience
sake, and so many others of the
church, as there were in the ship in
all seventy persons.
But on the way TO Eleuthra, one
Captain sButler, a young man who
came in the ship from England, made
use of his liberty TO disturb all the
company He could not indure any
ordinances or worship, etc, and when
they arrived at one of the Eleuthera
Islands. and were intended there to
settle, he made such a faction, as
enforced Captain Sayle TO remove to
another island, and being near the
harbour, the ship struck and was cast
away.
"The persons were all saved, save
one, but all their provisions and goods
were lost, so as they were forced (for
divers months) TO lie in the open air
and TO feed upon such fruits and wild
creatures as the island afforded But

What is perhaps the shortest street
in the world is West South Division
street in Buffalo. Furthermore, it has
only one side.
South Division street, proper, runs
east from Main. but the old surveyors

run for thirty feet on the west side.

runs diagonally southwest from Main.
