panced For Seat. at pinner,

Dancing for their seats was the nov el performance through which the din- ner guests of a London woman went recently. says the New York Press. On assembling in the dining room they found there were chairs for only half the number. but there were spaces be- tween these chairs for as many more A pianist struck up a dance. and the men and women circled about the room, the women going one way, the men another When the music stopped every woman sat down promptly ia the chair nearest her and the men stepped into the spaces between the chairs. Then the chairs for the men were pushed forward, and dinner was begun in a glow of spirits such as ordinarily are not in evidence before a repast Is we'll under way.

GREAT TRIP FOR AeRoNAuT.

Knabenshue Building Airship to Fly
 Acroxs the Al1cShenies.
 Confident of success. Roy Knaben- shue, the Toledo youth who first steer ed a dirigible balloon over New York city, Is building an a!rship at Pittsburg for a flight from that city across the mountains to Philadelphia, says a Pittsburg special dispatch to the New York Press. Knabenshue expects to make his experiment early in next May and hopes to beat the best time of the fastest expresses between the two cit les.
 The airship, already taking shape, will be the largest ever constructed. It will have compartment for mail bags and seats for six or eight passengers. It will be more than a hundred feet in length and will carry a motor ot 206 horsepower The motor will drive dou- ble propellers. and the inventor expects that his craft will be under perfect control in all kinds of summer weather.
 Knabenshue says that should the Pittsburg- Philadelphia trip be made without mishap he will use Pittsburg as a base for flights to Atlantic City. Cleveland and coney Island. His main object is to prove this theory that air ships are of practical uriiity and that a few years will see them In use at least as mail carriers. He has sent invita- tions to all of the Pittsburg newspa- pers to nominate representative to accompany him on his first great flight. A radical change in the model of the balloon itself will be seen. the huge silk bag to take the form of fish. Knabenshue says that he will sail to Philadelphia on bee line and that he expects to top the highest mountain in the eastern half of the country.

DEARLY BOUGHT FREEDOM.
Terrible Price Jews In Russia Are
 Paying.

Paying.
 Through Dr. Fishberg the Jewish Daily News of New York recently re- ceived letter describing some of the details of the Jewish massacres in RvS sia from S. Rabinowitz. who under the pen name of Sholom Aleichem (Peace to You is one of the best known Jew ish writers in Russia Mir Rabino- witz's letter is dated from the Impe- rial hotel in Kiev, and he says in part:
 Your letter brought me here, where, together with a number of families, I. with my wife and children, are cover ing under storm of leaden bullets that are being fired over our heads, so that we shall remain powerless, use less, paralyzed. It is well nigh impos- sible, 1t is a herculean task, to describe what has happened here. I will tell it to you in boldest terms:
 "On the 17th we were presented with the constitution for which our brothers spilled their blood like water. On the same day a rumor was spread abroad that orders had been given to attack the Jews, and the attack began from all sides Simultaneously an or der was issued that we should not shoot from the windows and not throw stones. If we should do that the sol diers would fire back and destroy our houses.
 Seeing soldiers on the street and Cossacks, we felt reassured; they will surely help us. And they did help, but not us. They helped to rob. to beat, to ravish, to despol. Before our eyes and in the eyes of the whole world they helped to smash windows, break down doors, break locks and to put booty in their pockets. Before our eyes and in the eyes of our children they beat Jews grievously, men, women and children, and they shouted: Money! Give us your moneyr Before our eyes women were hurled from windows and chill dren thrown to the cobblestones. ] No; my hand trembles. The pen i will not obey. can write no more. ! The local newspapers publish only one l hundredth part of the .frightful details i of the happenings in Kiev. Now imag. inc what is happening in hundreds of Jewish towns and villages. Too dear will our freedom cost us, and God only l knows whether we will live to enjoy I this freedom.
 "The tyrant will not surrender his rod. The swords are being sharpened- bitter. Tn Gods name, brethren, help To act, to help, to resist-that we are not permitted. For the life of one drunken brute that we take when he attacks our wives and our children VIC pay with hundreds of innocent lives.
 What shall we do? No place to hide ! Gentiles will not give shelter to Jews Even the millionaires. the Brodshyks and the Zeitzhoffs. threw themselves tc the feet of their friends, the Christians Their friends asked to be excused Brother, do something. Publish this 1T the English as well as the Jewish press. We'll. then. if I cannot be saved if must die, I am ready. Perhaps il is better that I shall fall sacriflct with the rest. MyA people are .sbeine consumed: the whole Russian Jewry i' fin danger

CLIMBING JUNGFRAU
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN
 ASCENDING TALL PEAK.
At One Time This Feat Was Consid- cred Impossible, But Now It Is Often Accomplished Other
 Mountains of Historic Note.

Jungfrau. Schreckhorn, Aiguille des Brands Charmoz! Here we have no group but noble trio of representative peaks on which you can have most oi she fun, and take most of the risks, that appertain to mountaineering. Let us speak of Jungfrau first; and let us say Jungfrau and not the Jungfrau, on the same principle on which we say Shakespeare and not Mir. Shakespeare All the world knows Jungfrau by sight, if only from colored photographs and picture postcards. The view Of the summit is the supreme Alpine view to be enjoyed from Interlaken, where ev- cry tourist goes; the intervening hills seem to have been cleft on purpose to reveal 1t. You look up the long Lau- terbrunnen valley; and there the noun tain stands, pale as a ghost In the moonlight, glittering like a mirror in the monday sun, flushing crimson at the hour of the Alpengluhe, at all hours turing you like an enchantress further into the regions of eternal snow. .-.--.-... a-zs5.-..
 .s It was inevitable that a mountain so conspicuous and, up to point, so 5lapproachable, should figure early in sgAlpine annals; and so 1t happens. 'sJungfrau. we find, drew attention and achallenged ambition next after the .amonarch of mountains and Monte sRosa. Climbing, as was natural, had sbeen interrupted during the years ill (which Switzerland was troubled by the 5wars which arose out of the French srevolution-the years in which Napo' Sleon crossed the Great Saint Bernard aand Suvaroff fought battles on the 4Saint Gothard But already In 1S0t zthere was revival of interest in the 4pastime. Alpha. the earliest of tht sAlpine journals, made its first appear sance in that year; and 1911 is the datt Tof the first ascent of Jungfrau by thu abrothers Johann Rudolf and Hierony mus Meyer, managers of silk factory lat Aarau. They desired. they said, tt learn ''the relations between the vari .sous basins of eternal snow" and tc ascertain whether the peaks whicf saarise out of them could be reached. FThey climbed Jungfrau; but when the! gitold their story nobody would believe ssit. Wherefore, to silence the voice O {. ..calumny, they climbed Jungfrau agair +lin 1872.
 Nowadays, of course, Jungfrau is oft Zen climbed, by many routes. and iron

The sand from sn hourgiass trickled into the scale which hung from the other end Of the beam until the egg was cooked. Then the weight of the sand lifted the egg out of the saucepan and rang an electric bell.

Receivers Dishgure Them.
 Telephone girls in Pittsburg are de- serting their employment because they find constant wearing of the receiver produces ugly corns on the tragus, the front portion of the external ear, says a special dispatch from Pittsburg to the Philadelphia Press. They also say their sense of hearing is more scutely developed in the left ear than fin the right.
 They do not mind this so much as they do the disagreement, which be- trays their occupation.
 In order to prevent the girls leaving. the company is endesvoring to devise receivers that will not produce corns.

FORGERIES REACH se50,00O.
Dougherty Used Al Kinds of
Names-More Gases Ready.

Peoria, Ill, Oct In. C. Dougherty realized
$4,000 in three years by using the name OF A.
H. Andrews 4 Co, Of Chicago. This fact was de-
veioped before the grand jury to-day, when H
J. Merle secretary Of the company, testified be-
fore the grand jury. While business done by
the school board with the firm had been COM
paratively limited for two years or more. Mr.
Dougherty's of the firm name in forging
checks and school scrip had been almost IN
limited
The members Of the school board are follow
ing the theory that he lost large sums of money
In gold mining schemes, and while 1t is impos-
sible TO estimate the amount he may have lost.
Yet ii is guessed that it is between 100000 and
100000. His real estate investments were, as
a rule, successful.
The grand jury reported to the States at
torney to-day that it would report at least
twenty-four more cases against Dougherty all
of them of serious character. The latest esti-
mate placed on his populations by means of the
padded payrous places the amount at 100000
So far as it has been figured from the cancelled
checks, it shows that for ten wears he averaged
from $500 to $4,000 a month AS new school
houses were built and new teachers added the
proportion of added names was carried out
The checks for the fictitious names were cashed
by Dousherty himself, who explained that he
would hand the money to the teachers in person.
