FOR JEWISH CONFEDERATES
Monument In Their Honor Suggested
 by SOutherners.

Monument In Their Honor Suggested
 by SOutherners.
 A writer to Baltimore paper sug- gests that the Jewish soldiers of the confederacy ought to be honored with a monument as well as those of the federal army, memorial to whom was lately unveiled in New York, says the Baltimore Jewish Comment. That there were many Jewish soldiers who served in the southern army is well known, though it is not so well known that, according to speaker at the memorial exercises held lately at the Jewish cemetery in Richmond, Va, General Cooper had said that there were between 10000 and 12,000 Jews who wore the gray, and this statement was made during the war in explana- tion of.his refusal to grant them leave to observe the fall holidays. The army could not spare such large number.
 Ten or twelve thousand may be an exaggerated estimate, but 1t shows conclusively that they were so numer- ous that the commanding officer had notice of their numbers. Jews were we'll scattered through the south dur ing the civil war, and the communities at Richmond, Charleston and Savan- nah were quite large for those times. They bore their share of the battle, fought with bravery, died on the field and suffered the loss of their property along with the impoverished of other creeds. There is absolutely no ground for the statement lately made in an illustrated New York weekly in an ar ticle telling of the development of the south that the war left all southern people except the Jews poor.
 In his address at the meeting in Richmond John s. Eggleston said that there were twenty-four Jewish staff officers in the Confederate army and eleven officers in the navy. and the first surgeon general of the Confederate army was a Jew-General David de Leon. So the Jewish soldier of the south has a right to recognition, and, though he fought for lost cause, his memory should not be lost too. It is quite possible that when the records are made up the southern Jewish sol dier will have quite as proud a record as his brother of the north, whom prominent men took pains lately to honor. Wherever the Jew heard the call for duty he answered. and it is a wonder that in the south. where old time loyalty and consideration still hold sway, some attempt has not been made to do justice to the memory of those men who took the field at the call of their state

A Postal Card Race.

With a view to testing the time re quired by a postcard to go the round of the world and to ascertain also the route which the card should take to accomplish it's journey in the least pos sible number of hours an interesting experiment in the form of competi- ton Is being made in Paris, says the London Globe. At 3 o'clock one after noon at the central posioffice and in the presence of a number of witnesses 40 postcards sent by an equal number of competitors who had beforehand SC cured the services of correspondents In America and the far east were handed in after examination by and on the certificate of a sheri,rs officer. Some will go by the Havre route, others by Marseilles. by Cherbourg. by South ampton. After a few brief resting places. necessitated by the time taken by the correspondents in the United States or in Asia to report them, the postcards will return to Paris. when the sender of the one that srrives f'rst will receive prize of money.
