cERFRRo.SPINAL NENINGLTLs.

The decision of the Health Commissioner 10
require the isolation of victims OF cereDro-
spinal meningitis, either at their homes or IN
a hospital. is a wise one. Sometimes cases OF
the disease arise under circumstances that
seem 10 preclude contagion. and sometimes the
indications point strongly in the other direc-
lion. Enough has not yet been learned about
the nature and cause of the malady to dispel
all doubt in regard "a the matter. Nearly all
writer's on the subject say that at times cere
brO-Spinal meningitis takes on an epidemic
phase, and analogy suggests that such condl-
tions could arise only because the disorder Is
10 some extent contagious. Furthermore, its
unusual prevalence i'm the metropolis during
the last four or five months juStities the adop-
tion of precautions not observed hitherto
Eventually a quarantine may prove TO be en-
tirely unnecessary Changed views of the mode
of communicating yellow fever. for instance,

transmission of cerebrO spinal meningitis that

state Of things began to be noticeable in De

The question 10 which investigation should
first be directed is whether or not the disease
is due 10 a germ. A few pathologiSts have
been impressed by the presence of a certain or
ganiSm i'm the fluid secreted 10y inhamed men

Failure 10 produce any perceptible effect would

the other hand, if distinct success should be
achieved. the way would be clear for devising

JEWS ~ NEW.YORK

Two and half centuries ago the first Jews
settled IN this city There were twenty-three
of them. Some too poor to paw for their
passage, and their baggage was sold al auction
TO raise the needed cash. They were regarded as
outcasts by most Of their fellow townsmen and
treated such. They were ordered to live
apart from the rest of the Inhabitants Public
exercise of their religion was forbidden. Neither
might they buy land nor sell goods at retail.
In the first year of their abode here they were
not even permitted to have place to bury their
dead.
Such facts as these explain the great enthu-
siasm with which the Jews Of this city and
country are preparing to celebrate their 25Otb
anniversary. As told elsewhere I'm The Trihune
TINS morning. the American Hebrew has not
only overcome every barrier which the bgotrv
Of the early Dutch raised against him. but has
also increased in numbers and in wealth as his
race was never known TO do before, not even
in the glorious days of Solomon Never befora
have so many Jews lived in one place as now
make their home in this city. Their numher
here is estimated at 100000 or twentv-eiebt
times more than now dwell in Jerusalem An
the Jews in Asia and Africa exceed the Hebrew
population of this city by only 100000.

History has shown that the oppression of this
race by nation has invariably been accom-
panied with commercial depression; whereas the
nation which has treated them the most IIber-
ally has been the most likely to prosper. Spain
bitterly prosecuted the Jews and finally in the
year that Columbus sailed for America she
drove them out Since that time Spain has
been sinking in power and influence. England,

for France, there can be no question that she
desires to be truly neutral and at the same time
10 maintain the Russian alliance. As for Japan
she cares for NONE OF these things, but does
not propose if she can help it, to see her enemy
gain an unfair advantage by the improper use
OF neutral waters. Moreover Japan, too has
an ally. who is just now on close terms OF
friendship with France, and whose naval power
would prove absolutely conclusive in this war
