Mrs. Marie Banks Dead.

Marie Williams Banks. the be-
loved wife of Mr.. ". c. Banks.
died at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. r. T. Williams,
on Main street shortly before
noon yesterday. For severa
weeks Mrs. Banks had been i'll
and since last Sunday had been
in a most critical condition.
Every thing known to medical
skill and science was done to
save her, but the Angel Of Death
had marked her for his own, aud
surrounded by loving kindred
and friends. whose hearts were
weighted down with a great and
indescribaoee grief, she passed
peacefully a. ay to the other side
of the silent liver, where suffer,
ing ends and sorrow ceases.
There never lived purer,
sweeter or lovljer woman than
Mrs. Banks. She was her IA

by hundreds Of friends through
out this city. Possessed of no
bic character and kind and gentle
disposition, she EXCITED splen
did influence over all who asso-
ciated with her. and her sad
death entails upon her husband
and loving parents loss which
will, indeed, be hard to bear.
Deceased, who at the time of
her death was twenty seven
years of age, was a member of
one of the most prominent fam
lilies in the city, having been the
eldest daughter Of Mr.. r. T..
Williams. who has for many years
been cashier of the First State
Bank. Her entire life has been
spent in Columbus and our PEG
pie knew her so well and rec
ognized her virtues so thorough
ly that any thing that might be
said on the subject would be su-
perfuous. In Decem Der 1900
she was married to Mr.. Wiley
Col eman Banks, and during the
five years of their welded life
has been his loving counselor and
help mate. This love was repaid by
husband wi tn constant care and
devotion, and during her illness
he has hardly left her bedside,
having devoted almost his entire
time to ministering to her wants
and doing all that a loving hus-
band could to alleviate her
sufferings. Mr.. Banks has
countless friends throughout
the city and county who feel for
him most deeply in his affiiction,
and THE DISPATCH joins these
friends ia extending TO him and
the entire family sympathy and
coincidence in their grief and
sorrow.
The funeral will occur at the
home of Mr.. r. T. Williams on
Main street at three o'clock this
afternoon and will be conducted
by Rev. IT. W. Lewis, pastor oil
the First Methodist church.

Bad Temper

Bad temper is like the tabled scorpion
that stings itself. The poisoned sting of
anger strikes deepest in our own souls.
A fit OF ill-temper may hurt others, but it
hurts us far worse. Unless we learn to
control our tempers we shall be at their
mercy all through our lives.
1t is said that once when Spurgeon was
seriously i'll he grew extremely impa-
tlent to get back to the pulpit, saying,
among other things; eff I ever preach
again, [ will leave out every bit of
flourish and preach nothing but present
and pressing truth, hurl it at the people
with all my might, live at high pressure,
and direct all my energies to the saliva
ton of souls.'' The wish of the sick man
is worthy to become the motto of every
healthy preacher in the world.

Jewish Doctors at Seat Of War

The Novosti in an article entitled
1.-The War: Doctors and Jews de-
mands the abrOgation, at all events for
time, Of the restrictions placed on the
number Of Jews admitted to medical
education. The journal points out the
valuable services the Jewish medical
men have rendered on the battlefield,
and states further that, at a time when
the number of Jews accepted for the
medical faculty in the universities does
not exceed from to 10 per cent, and
is reduced to nil in the Military Med
ical School, there are in Kharbin alone
forty-five Jewish doctors $50 per cent.
of all the medical men to be found
there). The population Of Russia, says
the Novosti, is sorely in want OF all
kinds Of medical assistance, be it Rus
sian, German, Jewish, Buriat or other;
therefore it is not in the interest of the
people to limit the supply. AS to keep
ing in Russian hands the practice that
would otherwise fall into the hands of
Jews, it has been clearly shown that, al
though the medical career is wide open
to Christians, these quite fail to satisfy
the wants OF the immense Russian pOpu-
lation. The medical profession should
be thrown open to all, and even then
many years will be necessary to educate
the required number. Such step is
requisite to inculcate suitable ideas Of
hygiene amongst the Russian masses,
who are at the mercy of quacks and pre-
tenders to mystic knowledge and sore
cry and on the other hand there is real
ly no valid reason for hindering such a
development. The views of the Novosti
were reproduced at considerable length
in last weeks Lancet.

R0umania AbOlishes Oath More
Judaico

Among the remnants Of the old hos
tile legislation against Jews, Roumanian
courts of justice retained the odious
oath More Judaico, for which those who
gave evidence were forced to undergo
all kinds Of ceremonies, and, dressed in
talith and tephilin, had to take the oath
in the synagogue before the sephorim.
Many efforts have been made in the
course of time to abolish this custom,
which had kind of legal existence by
an official decree issued by the govern
ment of Moldavia in 1874. Memoran-
dun after memorandum had been pre-

sented to the government, one Of these
being drawn up by the Rev. DR.. Caster
and Rev. DR.. Beck, in 1883, and handed
to the Roumanian minister of religious
cult. All these efforts were of no avail.
At last the highest tribune in the
country has finally settled the question.
The judgment was given on September
7 GO o. s.) and published a few days
ago.
1t was the case of Samuel Herschco-
witch vs. Bernard Moscovitch, who had
taken the oath before the court simply
on the Jewish Bible and not in accord
ance with the prescription Of More Ju-
daico. The lower court before which
Moscovitch gave evidence had accepted
the simple form, and Herschcovitch ap-
pealed to the highest court against that
decision.
The result was eminently satisfactory,
for among other statements made by the
Court of Cessation in it's decision was
the definite abrogation Of the decree Of
1874, as being contrary to the articles of
the civil code now in force in Roumania.
The court declares emphatically that
they who belong to the Mosaic faith can
not be forced to take an oath in accord
ance with the old form, which is now alb
rogated or annulled.
By this decision a great step in ad-
vance has been made for the equal treat
ment Of Jews in the Roumanian courts.
and one more Of the obnoxious old laws
applied solely to Jews has finally been
wiped out. The Court of Cessation is
continuing steadily it's work of emanci-
pating the Jews

SANTA CLAUS
MAIL BOATS

The volume of Christmas mails for
the mainland this year hardly equals
thus far the number of pouches and
sacks sent away last year. The Mon
golia took IFS sacks and the Aorangi
yesterday took in but so sacks. How
ever, the Alameda will undoubtedly
take away the largest mail. for COM
pairing the departures last year, the
Siberia which left for San Francisco
on December 81, 1908, took away 129
sacks. The Alameda sails for San
Francisco on December 81.
No registered mail was sent away
yesterday on the Aorangi, being for
eign vessel bound to a foreign port
In spite of this, however, much mail
intended for registry was probably
sent away with special delivery stamps
thereon.
The 1908 Christmas mail was sent
away as follows:
Nippon Maru. Dec. IA, 100 pouches;
Sierra, Dec. 10, 125 pouches; Siberia,
Dec. Fl, 129 pouches.
A big Christmas mail from the MAIN
land will surely arrive on the Alameda
due tomorrow morning from San
Francisco. Then comes the Gaelic on
DtCtHlptI ~ anu Tie vi tiiC
Gath. The postofice authorities expect
one Of the largest Christmas mails on
the Ventura arriving on December 2S,
three days after Christmas People in
the east do not shop several weeks be-
fore Christmas. Business does not be-
come brisk until a couple of weeks be-
fore the holiday, and therefore much
of the Eastern matter will not arrive
until after it is due.
The postoffice people feel somewhat
proud of the manner in which they
disposed of the mail which went away
on the Mongolia. Not single letter
or package was left in the office when
the big vessel sailed for san Francisco
at 1890, noon.
The vessel was delayed to take on
the mail arriving on the Kinau, which
carried all the Christmas matter from
the other islands. The mail was de-
livered at the postoffice door at II a.
m. There were over 5000 letters, be-
sides packages. These had to be sorted
and rearranged for distribution on the
mainland, packages being made ur
separately for the states and terrific
ries, as we'll as the different railway
lines.

Representative cooper, of Texas. tells
a story about Gen. Sam Houston, OF
his state, and a practicing physician,
who did not like the old general, being
strenuously opposed to him politically
One day, after a heated political dis
cussion, the physician said:
General, l like you well enough
socially. but politically would not be-
lieve you on oath"
II would believe you, DOCTOR" was
the quiet reply of the general.
Then, sir" vehemently exclaimed
the doctor, you have a much better
opinion of me than I have of you"

NURSING MOTHERS

"A richer milk than milk"
IS good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. "A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same

THE HAWAIIAN SANDS AS
AN IRON MINING COUNTRY

a champion OF diversified Industries,
beg to call the attention OF students OF
Hawaiian industrial possibilities to some
resources. AS an independent PROPOSE
ton the iron mining here may prove
to be not sufficiently remunerative, con-
sidering the lack of fuel OH the Islands,
but the difficulties in securing the re-
turn freights both ways are such as to
give this question a different aspect. On
one hand our sugar vessels seldom find
sufficient return freights from the coast;
on the other, vessels loaded with mer-
chandise from Oregon and Washington
complain OF the lack of return freights
on the way back. Both facts constitute
an obstacle towards commercial and in
dustrial development Should some ar
ticles, always on hand for transportation
either way, be found, this difficulty
would be eliminated The Northwest OF

good enough for other purposes, but

may be carried here, be it instead of

iron, we have an amount of iron ore
without limit This ore may be trans
ported to the Northwestern smelters.

queer revelation, but it will not be

Why REMOVE STREET nYDpANrs7

There are members of the city
council who favor the sbolishment
of what few street hydrants the
town now has. These hydrants as
a general thing have been put in
at the cost Of private parties and
are about the only convenient
places that an ont Of town person
can secure a drink of water, with
the exception Of the horse trough.
The city is greatly in need OF ac-
commodations Of this kind.
There are those who even think
that the small hydrants that bust
ness firms have had put. in, and
paid for, should be abolished. This
is about the only way that these
firms can get water and the ill.,
justice would be equally as great,
if not greater than to deprive resi-,
dent sof water for their lawns,
they pay nothing for this privilege.
On the other hand business firms
are required to pay water rent
whether they have water or not.
To he deprived Of the small street
hydrant which is used solely for
the cleaning Of show windows does
not seem exactly fair, especially
when they are made to pay water
rent and have practically no other
use for the water.
If anyone is to be deprived Of
the use of water 1t does seem that
those who DO not pay cent there
for should be the ones and not
those who are made to pay whether
they have water or not.
