Proposal to Repeal Russian Law For bidding Residence Near Frontier.
 St. Petersburg, May 2s.-Interior Minister von Plehve has proposed to
 the council of the empire an important project for the repeal of the law under which Jews are forbidden to reside within thirty-two miles of the frontier.
 On account of smuggling of some years lago the Jewish pale was drawn back from the border. The new departure Is considered to b e one of the important tsteDs in execution of the czar's ukase issued in the early part of 1903, prom Iising freedom of conscience to his sub Ijects. He considered the present time suspicious for the inauguration of this reform. which will materially relieve the situation of the Jews who are crowded along the western borders.

THE NAMING or HERRIck.
How the Letter 80" Was Added t.
A.. x.... 49, r..anre.. 49,.

How the Letter 80. Was Added to
the New York Judges Name.
Whats his FIRST name?~ This is the
query today regarding p. Cady Her
rick. the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor Of New York state. AS d matter
Of fact, Judge HerTiek has no first
name, says the New York Journal
The letter cd IS there, and that's all.
Judge Herrick was not named for
Daniel Cady, the western New York
jurist, as has been supposed. The lat
ter was the father Of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, and many persons have con
Guided that Jonathan Herrick named
his son Daniel Cady after the western
New York man. That conclusion Is err
roneous.
Young Herrick was baptized Cady
Herrick That pleased his mother 1t
did not please his father. The latter
thought that Cady might be softened
By some one into Katie. and the child
was big, bouncing boy. When that
boy attained few years Jonathan
Herrick told him to write bis name D.
Cady Herrick. He said to him:
1.-THE D win only signify the letter Of
the alphabet for which 1t stands. II
people choose to think that 1t stands
for name instead of letter they
may. But as for ron, write your name
d. Cady Herrick, d to please me and
Cady to please your mother Then
we'll both be represented"

How Louis Eleisrhaann Established

give bread to every hungry man who
would come for It. This was more than
ten years ago and q long time went by
until Mr. Fleischmann's family knew
anything of his unique charity
The bread line grew until at night as
many as 700 loayes were handed out
TO the hungry men. Captain Henry
and d stan Of men were employed to
dispense the loaves. In the early days
Mr. Fieischmann was on hand every
night. He talked to the men Iii line
and sought ways Of helping them. III

and when the philanthropist saw man
