HELP FOR THE JEWS.
A Hebrew PhiIanthropist of st. Peters,
burg VIII Distribute the Funds

st. Petersburg, Nov 16.-Baron
Gunsberg, a well known Jewish phil
anthropist of st. Petersburg, has re-
ceived imperial authorization for the
distribution of the Jewish relief funds
raised in America, England and other
foreign countries. He is now organic
ing committees eEphe ~advices being re-
eeived Here indicate that much money
will be required and the major portion
of the funds on hand will INN ediately
be distributed to provide those who
are in urgent need Of food and other
necessaries of life. The most horrible
accounts of the Tnassacres and destruc-
ton of property are reaching st. Peters
burg by mail
The inhabitants of the entire town
of Chernigoff, practically the whole
population being Jews, were utterly
annihilated. Baron Gunsberg's son,
who has Just arrived here from Kieff,
only managed to escape from a mob
by hastY flight. When he returned to
his residence he found it practically
empty. sWhat the rioters had not car
ried off they had destroyed including
many valuable paintings.
Count WHITE, who is taking personal
interestin the relief measures, advises
that the funds be distributed through
local committees under Baron Guns
berg's direction. The baron has de-
cided to exercise the greatest care in
seeing that the local committees shall
be devoid of political or revolutionary
elements. Baron Gunsberg expresses
confidence in Count Whites sympathy
with the demand for equal rights for
the Jews and he appreciates the atti-
tude of the premier in preparing a de-
cision and leaving the responsibility
for the settlement of this question to
the national assembly. Count John
Tolstoi, the new minister of education,
is already openly advocating the re-
moval of all restrictions limiting the
percentage of Jewish pupils and
students in the schools and universe

WILL BE OUT IN FORCE
Society Is Taking an Interest in EIks
Show.

The Elks' vaudeville show to be held
at the auditorium the week of Novem-
Der q is arousing considerable interest
and there is every prospect that the
first nighters' viii be out in force and
pack the house at the opening. There
are several line parties being made up
even this early and more in contempla-
ton.
There are now under construction all
of the necessary adjuncts to transform
the platform at the auditorium into
stage, with the scenery, footlights and
other accessories essential to the proper
presentation of such acts as have been
engaged for the show. These acts will
include a soprano who has proven very
popular in the New York vaudeville the
aters, having sung the parts of Lillian
Russell for five months at Weber &
Fields. There will be novelty musical
acts, singing and dancing, monologue,
character changes, farces, sketches, a
trained animal act, in fact eight big
acts, and each one of them a headlner
that will make its initial appearance in
the west, at the Elks' annual benefit.
The popular price of twenty-five cents
should result in giving the Elks packed
houses all through the week, for the
price is so low as to admit of everyone
attending.
There will be no advertising program
this year, the committee of Elks in
charge having decided to relieve the
merchants from that sort Of a hold up.

SAVING ON PRlN TING.
Work at the Government Plant Has
Been Greatly Reduced.

Washington. Nov. 1e.-Acting Public
Printer Ricketts, in an interview pub
Iished today says:
Judging from the volume of work
now being turned out at the government
printing office, economy has struck the
government printing office Hard. We
are now printing about as much stuff
as we did five or six years ago. The
amount has fallen off greatly within the
last three months, and during my con-
nection with the office has never been
at so low a point as now"
Mr. Ricketts, attributed the falling off
in requests to print to the influence of
the president and the determination Of
the heads of departments to cut down
the printing bills which had grown to
enormous proportions.
Mr.. Ricketts, thought the investigation
of the Keep commission and that more
recently the Lands committee may have
had much to do with the now existing
conditions. At any rate, there is much
less work than formerly at the printery,
and furloughs are encouraged this month
as being an opportune time before con-
gress cOnvenes.
It has been necessary in some instances
to lay off employees of the office who
were working temporarily. This with
sick leaves has reduced the force and
there are perhaps less men and women
at work in the printing office this month
than at any other time for several years.
Mr. Ricketts, said it did not look as
though it would be necessary to employ
many extra printers this year.

STRIKE is FAILING.
Indications at st. Petersburg Are That
1t VIII Collapse.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 16.-The outlook
is much less threatening today, the
general strike promising to collapse
within a few days. The appeal made
to the country to join in the movement
met with no response, but dfssensions
in the workmen's council are fncreas-
ing. It is now apparent that extremists
took the decision to order a general
political strike hastily and without due
preparation in the belief that the whole
country would rise at their bidding and
continue the revolutionary movement.
Having once demonstrated the power of
a general strike as weapon with
Which to terrorize the government the
leaders believed they could invoke it at
a moments notice, but popular syu4-
pathy faild to respond and the leaders
are reluctantly compelled to admit that
they can not force a last ditch fight but
must content themselves with calling
the political strike a demonstration"
While the organized Workmen of st.
Petersburg obeyed the order to strike,
many did so grumblingly. In the face
or the aVinter and the necessity of pro-
viding for their families many of them
did not want to stop work At the
Russo American Rubber works this
morning anti-strikers beat off and
drove away a strike deputation which
came to order the wOrkmen out.
None of the papers except the Official
Messenger appeared this morning, but
the printers of each newspaper them
selves published fly sheets announcing
that the strike was for the purpose of
abol1shing the state of siege, the death
penalty and martial law throughout
Poland 1t is now definitely established
that the cry set up by the socialist
leaders against the execution of the
Cronstadt mutineers was premature as
their trials have not actually been be
gun.
A snow storm which began last night
is still raging today. There are many
patrols in the streets but the city is
quiet.

Tourist cars Ponn1ar.

The idea that an inferior class of
people patronize the tourist sIeepers is
an error. On many trips only the best
class of travellers are found. They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to California
in this manner and save a snug sum
Of money to be used elsewhere. tt is
beginning to be understood that it is
by no means necessary for the traveller
to spend a large sum of money in or
der to enjoy a trip to the Pacific coast.
If you cross the continent in one OF
the tourist sleepers Of the Union Pa
cific you viii enjoy your trip and save
considerable money.

ties. I am not ashamed of their pur- suit: and count 1t by no means oad skill to force them by succession shot to topsy-turvy pause when at their best speed.
 These sly little fellows feed at night and during the day they hide so closely in grass or among the rocks and brush that 1t Is seldom they can be seen when at rest. Of course. no decent man will shoot a rabbit while sitting, and have known them to refuse to start for any. thing less than a kick or punch. When they do start, however, they demon strate quite clearly that they have kept their feet in the best possible position for a spring and run. After such start the rabbit must in fairness be given an abundant chance to gain full headway. and when he has traversed the necessary distance for this. and is at his fastest gait the hunter that shoots him has good reason to be satis- fled with his craftsmanship. once &C., tually poked one up and he escaped un- hurt, though four loads of shot were sent after him.
 Tn the main, however. dogs must be relied upon for the real enjoyment and success of rabbit hunting. The fastest dogs are not the best, because they are apt to chase the rabbit so swiftly and closely that he quickly betakes hlm- self to a hole or other safe shelter, in stead of relying upon his running abil- ity. The paying of three or four good dogs steadily followed little cotton tail should be as exhilarating and as pleasant to ears attuned 10 the music as if the chase were for bigger game. As the music Is heard more distinctly, the hunter is allowed to fiatter him self that his acute judgment can deter mine the route of the approaching game

and the precise point from which an ad. vantageous shot can be secured. The self-satisfied conceit aroused by a for- tunate guess concerning this important detail. especially if supplemented by c fatal shot. should permit the lucky gunner to enjoy as fully the complacent pleasurable persuasion that the entire achievement Is due to his sagacity, keenness and skill as though the ani- mal circumvented were @ larger beast. In either case the hunter experiences the delight born of a well-fed sense of superiority and self-pride; and this. notwithstanding all attempts to keep it in the background, is the most gratify- ing factor in every sporting induig- ence.
 Some people speak slightingiy of the rabbits eating qualities. This must be an abject surrender to fad or fashion. At any rate 1t Is exceedingly unjust to the cotton tail. and one who can relish tender chicken and refuse to eat a nicely cooked rabbit is. I believe, a victim of unfounded preJudices.
 Why, then, should not rabbit hunting when honorably pursued, be given a respectable place among gunning ac- tivities? It certainly has every ele- ment of rational outdoor recreation. It ministers to the most exhilarating and healthful exercise; 1t furnishes saving relief from care and overwork; 1t is free from Tantonness and tnexcusabie destruction of animal life. and. if lufk favors. 1t gives play to innocent pat gratifying self-conceit. 2.
 Let us remember. however, that r rabbit hunting is to be a manly outdoor recreation, entirely free from mean ness, and a sport in which a true hum ter can indulge without shame. the ht- tel cottontail must in all circumstances be given a fair chance for his life.

old woman, hideously ugly by the light of the candle she bore, pulled him into the passage. She pointed up the stair case, extinguished her candle and van- ished.
 "Hi," cried the Captain. but his voice, muffled. 1t seemed, in the gloom. brought no answer. He groped his way back to the door. It was fas- tened. The recollection of the outside appearance of the house. every shutter being closed, made the mariner feel decidedly uncomfortable, and when, looking up the staircase, he saw few gleams of light. apparently coming through cracks in a door, he made up his mind to ascend. In fact, it was the only thing to do. Anything but that pitchy passage.
 He stumbled up a rickety stairs and tapped timidly on the portal, which was flung open and he, himself, at once pulled into dimly lighted room. The apartment contained a table and few chairs. It also contained a half dozen wild looking men and a tall, thin woman.
 The men jabbered in some uncouth language and glared at the intruder.
 "IIi've A letter from Meta for Josef" began the Captain, quakingly. the glances bent upon him being far from reassuring.
 He felt in his pocket for the let ter. Then 1t flashed upon him that in his haste he had left in lying on his bed.
 I be Meta" said the woman. ris- ing from her chair and boring the Captain with two gimlet-llke black eyes.
 Hi found a letter for Josef" stam- mered the Captain.
 "spyp screeched the woman. Then she said something vehemently to the men who were savagely glaring on the Captain.
 Instantly they fell upon him and thrust him into a room the door or which the woman had opened. It was closed and bolted behind him. Stunned at the rapidity of the occurrence, the mariner was several moments in pullinR himself together. He was In total darkness, the only sound audible being the murmur of voices from the adjacent room.
 He had a very clear idee, of what his lark had brought him to. He had in- truded upon some sort or secret ana probably unlawful gatherings. Doubt less, being foreigners. they were an archists and as to what anarchists usually did with intruoers was con- lecture which the Captain could not con slider from an optimistic stand poirt. A man could be readily mur- dered In that room ana the world be ignorant of 1t.
 While Captain Perley was badly scared. he did not lose hi1 presence of mind. He had faced several close calls in his life. and getting upon his feet he began feeling around the sides of the room for a window. Stepping noiselessly he passed his hand along the wall searching for an aperture. in-

CLEVELAND AS A HUNTER.

The Independent.
 Because rabbit shooting is seasonable only in the late fall or winter weather the mention of 1t is calculated to sug- gest shivering chills, cold feet, numb fingers and all sorts of heavy clothing. At first blush. therefore, 1t may not seem to be exactly an appropriate topic to be given a place in magazine de- signed for midsummer reading. On second thought, however. I hope it will not be deemed amiss that the torridity of such q magazine should be tempered by a cooling admixture hinting of rec reation free from dog day swelter, and remining the reader that a season Is on its way which brings with 1t outdoor sports exempt from summer heat and unvexed by the stings and arrows of outrageous" gnats, flies or mosquitoes It is quite within reason to suppose that the addition of rabbit hunting to the ingredients that simmer in summer re- creative reading might be as refreshing as the addition of ice to an otherwise tepid summer tipple.
 Some hunters there are, of the super refined and dudish sort, who deny to the rabbit any position among legitimate game animals; and there are others who. while grudgingly admitting rab- bits to the list. seem to think 1t neces sary to excuse their concession by call ing them hares. I regard all this as pure affectation and nonsense I deem 1t not beneath my dignity and standing as a reputable gunner to write of the rabbit as an entirely suitable member of the game community: and in doing so I am not dealing with hares or any other thing except plain. little. every day plebian rabbits-sometimes appro- priately called "cotton-tails Though they may be "defamed by every charla- tan" among hunters of self-constituted high degree, and despised by thousands who know nothing of their game quail

""ow did you know Hi was thereT' asked the Captain.
 "I found the letter on the bed and determined to confront you in your wickedness. An old woman answered my knock and when I asked for Meta she pointed up stairs. I couldn't un- derstand what she said. In the room up stairs I saw a minx in red jersey and felt that was Meta. asked her where you were and ene laughed in my face. Then I snatched this bunch of hair from her head. Then men started to run down stairs, the minx after them. Then I found you"
 You saved my life. my dear" said the Captain, squeezing her waist
 The next day the Captain read in the standard" that Meta Struve, a dangerous anarchist was suspected of being in London.
