The Jewish outlook., 1904-11-18

Russian official statistics show that
there are 27,OOO Jewish soldiers in the
armies in Manchuria and Siberia, about
double their quota. They are all in the
ranks, and that is the only part of the
army that has shown efficiency
The anti-Semitic temper Of the Lower
Austrian Diet was forcibly illustrated
on Friday, 18th ult., by the adoption Of a
motion proposed by the committee for
the furtherance Of trade to endow the
Vienna Export academy with a scholar
ship for Christian students. Herr Strobl
opposed the motion, urging, in the in
terest Of the scholars themselves, the un-
wisdom Of sending them out into the
world branded as anti-Semtes, and
claiming that Jews had rendered great
services to the Austrian export trade.
He proposed to mend the motion by eli
minating the word Christian, Herr
Kolisko proposed an amendment that it
should be confined to scholars Of Ger
man nationality. Herr Sturm proposed
that it should be opened to scholars of
Aryan origin, and finally the original
motion was adopted, with Herr Stumn s
amendment that scholars must be of
Aryan descent.

tant expressive Of the blessings of the
church upon the wedding rings, thus
consecrating the sign Of the compact.
With the progress Of civilization lux
ury progressed and the simple iron ring
was exchanged for a gold one, and the
gold was made to speak; the gold ring
must be pure, plain, and without flaw
or interruption by settings Of stones, as
is well told in Herrick' s Hesperides:
And as his round
Is nowhere found
TO flaw, or else to sever:
SO let our love
AS endles prove,
AS pure as gold forever
The form of the ring" says Swine
borne, being circular, that is, round
and without end, importeth thus much,
that their mutual love and hearty af-
fection should roundly flow from the one
to the other, as in circle, and that
continually and forever
In connection with the former honor
able use Of the ring will mention that
instead of the gold ring there was used
in France a rush, or straw ring, when
the honor Of family had to be saved
in case of lapse on the part of the wo-
man, or betrayal on that Of the man.
The parties,if they would appear willing
ly, would be coerced to church by two
policemen (per duck sergeants), where
the curate would marry them with
rush or straw ring and enjoin on them
to live in peace and amity, and thus re-
deem the honor of parents and relatives,
and save their souls from the danger to
which their sin and offense had exposed
them.-Jewish Gazette.

MUGH ~LAWLtSSNESS.

There appears to be considerable
lawiossncss in this borough at pres
cnt, all of which is caused by drink.
One woman scnt her husband up to
New Brunswick for boating her while
intoxicated, just TO teach him Il les
son, and Friday night another woman
was looking for IL marshal TO arrest
her husband, who had left her to earn
her own living and who, she said, had
come to her house intoxicated and
threatening to shoot her, and caused
her to fear for her life. We heard also
Friday evening that u certain young
man of this borough had one of his
eyes laid out on his check by three
men who, it was said, had attacked
him when he called at a relatives
homo. This was denied by the rela-
tive by marriage, who stated that h @
was not Mt her home. 1t was also said
that n lady residing in George street,
hearing the noise last Monday night,
raised her window and saw three men
run away and the man attacked was
left lying on the sidewalk. She con
sidered she had saved the mans life
by Frightening the men away. Some
say that the three men were since
arrested and placed in borough hall,
but that was not confirmed. 1t Is said
that all of the party were intoxicated.

WHISKY EXPLODED.
Corning Distillery at Peoria
Is In Complete Ruin.
TEN EMPLOYEES BURNED TO DEATH
Fire Followed the First Disuster-NO
Time to Get Out-Thousnnds of
steers, Chained Fast, Were
Roasted Alive.

PEORIA, H., June Ga terrific ex-
plosion which occurred in the eleven
story warehouse of the Corning dis
tillery here, the second largest in the
world, has completely wrecked the
building.
Tho ruins Immediately took fire and
communicated to three adjoining build
ings. burning them to the ground. Four
teen men were buried beneath the
ruins ana burned to death, and six 9th
crs were seriously injured. The loss on
buildings and whisky and spirits stored
will approximate 81, 100000.
Tho fire spread to the stockyards dis
trict, where a dozen large cattle barns
filed with cattle for market were
burned.
The cause of the explosion cannot
yet be determined.
The widest excitement prevailed aft
or the explosion. The immense plant
was surrounded by thousands Of peo-
pie. who, however, were unable to get
close to the structure on account of
the intense heat.
The warehouse. containing in the
nctghborhood of 10000 barrels of whis-
ky, was instantaneously a seething
cnldron, and it was seen that no n
inside the big structure could escape.
The warehouse in crushing the small
er structure near by set that on fire,
the whisky from the bursting bar
rels flooding everything in that sec
ton. Large streams ran down to-
ward the river, and in Il short time
there was Il foot of whisky in the cat
tie pens east of the warehouse, where
5000 steers were chained fast.
Their distress lasted but Il few mo-
ments, however, for they were o
roasted to death or suffocated. They
were the property of Dodd * Kiefer of
Chicago. 1t is impossible to compute
their loss, but it will amount to thou
sands of dollars.
The two %fermenting houses were
were structures of good dimensions,
and both of them We're destroyed.
The firemen got nea the fire with
difficulty, and the water had little or
no effect. A high wind was blowing
and tanning the flames in the direction
of the Monarch distillery, and for a
time it was feared that the fire would
sweep along the entire river bank.
However, the heroic work of the fire
men began to tell, and at Z o'clock the
flames were under control.

AS THINGS APPEAR.

There was one very much ~disappoint-
ell man on Broadway Friday evening,
when speaking of the electric street lights
being so dim, he said it was only ON II
par II with the rest of the things in South
Amboy. Look at the dirty depot said
he" "Why, we had visitors and they
refused to enter the place while waiting
for the train" It's all alike. Then the
fact of there being only one councilman
ut the council meeting was spoken of,
that was followed by remarks on the
dusty streets, with no sprinkler to lay
the dust and keep it from getting on
goods and into stores and houses. OF
course the recent rains here did lots of
good but how long will that last. was
requested to hammer away at the dis
graceful n. Y. and l.. b. depot every day
until something is dOne about it, but |
am afraid it would require Il sledge ham
ner or N to make the slightest impress
sion about that depot. We are tired look
ing at it and of having strangers look at
it too. One would think the amount of
traffic to and from this borough would
be better appreciated.

AT THE FARMS.

One of the suburban farmers SAYS the
rain which was supposed to nave pleased
the farmers was 50 cold, that coming
after the extreme dry weather it was
almost ruinous to the truck. All of the
plants, such rs tomatoes, etc. turned vel
low and the "lossom with the fruit
already set in quantities fell off. He
says pears and the fruit are lying on the
ground. The grain is in splendid condi-
tion and the cows are indeed in clover
for it is in bloom, which is early for it..
They stand in grass and clover over II
foot high. One thing though that is
troubling the farmer, is the immense lot
of crows, so it is almost impossible to
keep anything in the. ground for. them.
There are Il great many young crows and
he said he WAS told they could not shoot
thcm. For the benefit of those who are
50 tormented, we have asccrtainrd posi-
lively, that they may lie shot with i'm
purity. The report from this farmer is
the same rs frcm othcrs-the straw berry
crop is fine,

There were severe hailstorms north of

washed down from the hillsides and
covered the farms, while the water in
its Onrush dug channels through the
farms and washed away promising
