ternity having been empowered at the last

convention is Thanksgiving week, 1906.

WANTS TO JOIN HER FATHER.
Young Girl Immigrant Held in Balti
more Hospital.

sixteen-year-old girl named Enie kabn-
sky, who says her father, Jacob Kabinsky,
lives at SoI 4th street southeast, in this
city, is held under observation in a Balti-
more hospital by the surgeon of the immi-
grafton bureau there until it is determined
whether the disease of trachoma with which
she IS said TO have suffered is eradcated.
If she has been cured she will be allowed
to come to her relatives in Washington
The story of the girl is a pathetic one,
this being the second attempt she has made
to enter this country from Germany to JON
her father. Immigration Commissioner
Weis and his assistants were max ng exam
nations OF the immigrants on the steam
ship Brandenburg the other day. After the
women had been lined up and the inspector

ANNUAL FUNCTION
Planned Under Auspices of Jewish
Hospital in New York.

NEW YORK, October 2l-Prenarations
are already in full swing for what IL is ex-
pected will be one of the largest social
functions ever held under the auspices of
the directors and auxiliary societies of the
Beth Israel Hospital 1t will take place
at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday
evening, March II, 1906. Few other func-

Importance in the minds of the Jewish
population of the East Side of the annual
event of the Beth Israel Hospital which
situated in the heart of the teeming Ghetto
of Manhattan Island, is one of the most
important and necessary institutions in the
city. Begun on Il modest scale the Beth
Israel Hospital has grown to huge dmen-
sions, with ever increasing demand on its
facilities.
The statistics of the institution for the
past twelve months speak most convinc-
ingly of its usefulness. During that pc
riod 1,49l patients were treated free in the
wards, II. .43t in the dispensary, S,jOS con-
sultations were had in the dispensary, So
353 prescriptions were filled free of charge
and ll,024 accident cases were treated So
much for the good deeds accomplished; !;
but the fact that ,935 applications for ad
mission to the hospital had to be refused
for lack of room is what is prompting the
directors and associates attached to the
Beth Israel Hospital to exert the most
strenuous efforts possible to make the en-
tertainment and ball at txe Madison
Square Garden a big success socially and
financially.

ABANDONED SCHOONER BURNED
Blaze Down the River Attracted Police
Boat Vigilant.

The members of the crew of the police
boat Vigilant last evening about S:45
O'Clock observed a bright llgi+ on the river
opposite the powder magazine not far
from Shepherds, and ste AIMED down
to ascertain the nature of the blaze
1t was found that an abandoned schooner
was burning. The police could not
extinguish the blaze When it was learned
there was nobody aboard the schooner the
Nlgilant returned to her wharf. The old
schooner, it is said. had been anchored off
the magazine for many months, and of late
nobody had been seen aboard the craft
People along the river reached the conclu-
sion that the boat was worthless and that
It's owner had abandoned it There was
nothing found by the police TO indicate the
orlslE OF the blaze, nor could they form an
accurate idea of the amount of damage
caused Before the police boat left the
scene of the fire the schooner had been
burned to the waters edge and was filed
with water When the members of the
crew used their glasses and saw that a
boat was burning they feared that some
body might be aboard her and that af a.
tality would probably follow.

SUCCESSOR TO CULLON
CAMPAIGN IN ILLINOIS HAS
ALREADY OPENED.
ecial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
CHICAGO, October 10, 1880
a campaign is now on in Illinois which
will result practically in the election of
United States senator by popular vote. by
a recent law of the Illinois legislature the
political parties of the state are permit I'd
TO hold senatorial primaries, in which they
may declare their choice for United States
senator. OF course. the legislature VIII
elect the successor of Senator Shelby NJ
Cullom. but it will not venture to do other
wise than TO follow the. choice expressed
by the republicans in their primary. This
primary is to be held next spring.
The legislature being overwhelmingly .e-
publican, the democrats will hold no pri-
mary. Any man may become candidate
for Endorsement for a seat in the upper
house of Congress by getting up a petition
signed by . per cent of the voters of his
party. This entities him to have his name
placed on the primary ballot.
Senator Culom opened his campaign at
the recent state fair at Springfield, follow
ing the political custom in vogue in the
days of Lincoln. There, also was former
Governor Richard Yates, Cullom's chief
rival And there, also, was Lieut.. Governor
Lawrence Y. Sherman, who like CuIlom,

A third candidate present was former
Attorney General Rowland j. Hamlin who

the state has come to be regarded as an

Senator Cullom's lieutenants express every
confidence that he win win, yet 1t is known
they dread the results of a stump campaign
by Yates. Dashing. eloquent, winning
III manner, with an undeniabIe personal
magnetism, they know from experience
that he is able TO accomplish wonders In
the way of winning votes in a whirlwind
campaign. They fear especially his infu-
ence on the younger voters, who are the
more easily carried away by his own youth
full fire and enthusiasm.
That is the reason the shrewd old sem
ator sought to win the, Sherman and Ham
lin followings to his camp. While they are
hostile TO Yates they have been still more
hostile to the federal or Cullom crowd. The
senator believes they hold the balance of
power and with their support he would feel
sure of carrying the primary.

little more than an overgrown, struggling
town, with dirt roads where now are
smooth concreted streets, six of the cfty's
butchers, by mutual arrangement, met at
the home of one of their number and
formed what was known as the Washing

organization We're twofold, and can be ex-
pressed by two words-pleasure and profit.
In those good old days western meat, re-
frigerated beef, packed products and the
like were unknown quantities.
Fringed about the city were the old-fash-
iored slaughter houses, now almost things
of the past which supplied the citizens of
the capital with home-killed and home
dressed cattle that had been raised in the
surrounding counties of Washington. There
fore, half a century ago the butcher was
quite an important parsonage in the com
munty. Consequently, when the butchers
club was formed it was treated as quite
social event in old Washington.
It's First President.
