THE JEWS IN THE COUNTRY.
United States Third Among the Ma
tons in Jewish Population,


The statistics gathered for the "Ameri-
can Jewish Year Book" covering the year
from September %. 1903, to September o.,
1904 place tie Jewish population of this
country at 1121 ,25S, and with this popula-
ton the United States ranks third among
the nations of the world in respect to the
number of Jews within it's borders. Rus
STA is credited with population of ), $50 =
401 Jews, Austa- Hungary with 2,011 254
Germany with 5S694S, Turkey with 350, goo.
the British Empire with 276614, Abyssnia
continent and 1O2, 1872 in Algeria and Tunis
The number of Jews in the world is put
at 1861 $50, or 600 600 more than was the
total number of persons in the United
States according to the census of 1920. Can
ada and British Columbia have attracted
but small Jewish immigration there be-
ing but $1,000 Jews in them now. The Jew
Is not an agriculturist, and he does not
seek independence on the farm.
In 1918 Mordecai M. Noah estimated the
Jewish population of this country at 5000.
In 1913 it was estimated at $4,000, or IS 600
more than in 1S40 and in 1880 it was figured
crease which has resulted in the present
great population shows no signs of abate-
ment.
There are Jews In every state and terri
tory, but the year book estimates that fully
500, 900 of those now here are resident in
New York state, and of course the vast
bulk of these are in this city and on Man
haitian Island. These states are credited
with having 10000 or more Jews among
their people:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-09-24

After these figures, it Is surprising to
find but twenty Jews in the Hawaiian
Islands. It is estimated that there are
100 Jews in Porto Rico, and no more in the
Philippines. Perhaps the fact that the
Spanish merchant class is reputed to be
more acute in business transactions than
the traders of any other nation may ex-
plain this small representation of the Jews
in these islands. OF the states in the Union.
Idaho and Nevada are credited with 300
Jews each, while Vermont contains but
TOO and Delaware but 92S.
In Palestine there are estimated to be
78, 600 Jews, according to calculation made
for the "Verein fur judische Statisik." Thus
two states in the Union have a greater
Jewish population than the Promised Land.
The immigration figures for 1903 show that
in 1902-03 58.079 Jews entered the port Of
New York, of whom 3O.536 were Russians,
1918 Austrians, 1914 Roumanians. 527

twenty-four synagogues were dedicated in
the United States in fourteen states. In
the same period sixteen hospitals, homes
and other institutions were opened. The
list of decorations. honors and distinctions
awarded In the same years to Jews is a
long one and twelve and one-half pages are
necessary to record the requests and gifts
Of $500 or more made by Jews or to Jewish
institutions.
Seventy-four publications are listed as
Jewish periodicals. and, In addition to these,
six year books are published annually.

An Old Frigate's Wheel.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The steering wheel OF the steam frigate
Minnesota, which has been received by the
Minnesota Historical Society. will occupy
a conspicuous place IN the new capitol as
soon as the society moves into Its new
quarters. The wheel is constructed of oak
and mahogany. is four and one-half feet In
diameter, and is mounted on wooden
frame.
The steam frigate Minnesota was con-
structed in accordance with an act OF Con-
gress passed April Q. 1854. which provided
for six frigates for the United States navy.
The Minnesota In 1857. 1858 and 1889 was
the flag ship commanded by Samuel +. Du-
pont of the foreign squadron, which went
on a special mission to China, and was
present at the operations of the French
and English forces against China, notably
at the capture OF the forts at Pehio river.

ship returned to Boston in 1850. where II
