"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing said the wise poet. but he didn't mean the amount or kind of knowledge that can be gained by visit to the street. Anybody can get some. knowl- edge there that will not only not be dangerous, but may save his or her life,
 or the life of somebody else. The knowledge that an ordinary observer can get there may be comparatively lit- I tie, but it is important. It is important to anybody to realize that consumption is catching" that it can be avoided,
 and that it can be cured. The thou
 sands who have visited this exhibit have had these important facts im- pressed on them fin way that is per-
 manent, and, each one ought to be and
 will be leaven for the community.
 The attack now being made on tuber- eulosis is one of the most encouraging facts and signs of the times. The
 white plagua" is now understood. It
 | is being assailed carefully and scienti- Ideally. Its ravages are already being
 checked in a most promising way. tSurely, when the people understand
 what can be done against it there will lbe no lack of public interest in the mat Iter, and no lack of money to carry on
 the fight with. The understanding is
 greatly aided by such object lessons as lthe tuberculosis exhibit. If you haven't [seen it go. and see it, and learn how lit Itle mystery there is in consumption, ,'' land how large hope there is for it's Eannihilation.

 The 100000 Jews of New York city, together with about 100000 more of their kinsfolk in other parts of the United States, are preparing to celebrate their first coming to this country, two and a half centuries ago. The occasion is to be one of rejoicing, for never in all their memorable history, even includ- ing the glorious days of King Solomon, have they prospered as they have here. Two and half centuries ago the first Jews settled in New York city. There were twenty-three of them. Some were too poor to pay for. their passage, and their baggage was sold at auction to raise the needed cash. They were re- garded as outcasts by most of their fel- | ow townsmen and treated as such. They were ordered to live apart from lthe rest of the inhabitants. Public ex- ercise of their religion was forbidden. Neither might they buy land nor sell !
 goods at retail. In the first year of l their abode here they were not even permitted to have place to bury their | Idead. Now. as the New York Tribune tpoints cut, never before have so many Jews lived in one place as now make
 their home in New York city. Their number there is estimated at 100000, or ! twenty-eight times more than now dwell 1 in Jerusalem. All the Jews in Asia and Africa exceed the Hebrew population of
 New York by only 100000. A. the pres-, ent time one person out of six in the Ientire city and one out of four in Man. thattan and the Bronx is a Jew. Half ithe Hebrews in all the United States Hive in Greater New York, and, accord ling to immigration figures, the city will
 soon contain the bulk of them. Of the great number of Hebrews now coming
 to this country from eastern Europe
 five out of six stay in New York. Tn
 the twenty years prior to 1904 694 172
 Jewish immigrants landed at Ellis Isl- land, and 504,1S1 of them settled in New
 York.
 In the year 1888 the Hebrew statisti-
 elan Markens estimated that his people towned real estate in New York, valued
 at $15O,0O0,000, and that their wholesale
 trade alone amounted to $2s0,O00,000 a lyear. At the present time it is estimat-
 ed that the Jews in New York have in.
 creased their property holdings so that i they represent an investment of $S7e,- .I00o,O00. and their annual wholesale trad
 now is rated at ss5o,oeo, ,oOo.

HE FntAcn socaALIs1s.

A French correspondent of London newspaper, writing on the subject of the recent socialistie congress at Rouen' says that it seems to have put an end to the internal dissensions in the party and to have made it once more a homo geneous force. All the French Socialists are now in agreement that their ulti- mate aim is total transformation oL the existing form of property, and that Socialism is international in character. But perhaps the most important result of the proceedings at Rouen is that M. Jaures has recovered the prominent po- sition in his party which for a time he seemed to have lost. His speech was immediately followed by the unanimous adoption of the motion for the unifica- ton of the party. and the congress de- cided to publish it in the interests of Socialist propaganda. M. Jaures ex- pIained the parliamentary tactics by which the Socialists in joining forces with the radicals and other Republic ans incurred the suspicion of their in- ternational comrades. He reminded Herr Bebel that the coalition had given France the two years military service bill, and that the separation of Church and State win speedily be realized Now this coalition has ceased to exist. Ths five groups of the Left have separated In preparation for the elections, the Socialists have once mora cut them selves adrift, recovering their indepen- dence of five years ago. They. now elect to take their stand for better or foI worse on their own programme.

 capped the danger Of despotism toward which Republican precepts obviously tended; in running from those. do we touch on the opposite extreme? At least it is plain that we have small chance 1 of escape from corruption and malad- lministration without g changea any

have been complaining of the govern menI of their municipalities. Foreign observers have wondered that such con ditions were endured, and still. except for occasional efforts at correction and punishment, the course Of events has been from bad to worse. Within the current year a new movement has set in-the revolt against the bad has talk en distinctly a new direction. Some years ago Memphis took the radical remedy of resigning her charter and giving despotic authority to a few men, that she might become habitable. Her credit immediately advanced, her sanitary condition greatly improved, her. debts were soon paid and she re- sumed her former place among Ameri-, can cities, cleansed from disease and guiltless of graft. But the example was not immediately followed-perhaps the leaven was working in the dark. 1 Galveston was destroyed by an up- heaval of the seas. In despair she gave herself into the hands of despotic au- tthority and the result has been so wholesome that the influence is still powerful.

What has been done in Chicago is il- lustrated by the publication in the Chi- cago Record Herald of fac-simile of a receipt alleged to have been signed by member of a strikers "wreclzing crew" The strike was declared by the drivers employed by one of the city's big mercantile houses.

Some time ago it was talked that the ing beets for sugar Officials of the de- partment of agriculture Investigated the matter and advised the farmers not to undertake the business. At least 4O,000 tons of beets a year would have 10 be raised in order to justify the ,es- tablishing of a factory and this would require, for a four years rotation of crops, some 10000 acres. The depart ment was convinced that nothing like as good returns could be secured from raising beets for sugar as could be ob- tained by the cultivation of turnips or n1angolds.

SNOW IN WOODFORD.
Drifts on Mountain Roads the Worst
Years.


At point about six miles from
Bennington, In the town OF Wood
ford, the highway over the mountains
to Wilmington isplled high with snow.
A passage just wide enough for team
has been ploughed through the drifts,
which are continuous for more than ten
miles. The snow in the road will aver
age more than three feet deep, and as
there are no turnouts, the meeting OF
two teams going in opposite directions
Is serious matter, as the snow has to
be stamped down or shoveled away to
permit them to pESS. In the turning
out the horses frequently slump and
often sink to their chests In the snow.
In such cases the horses have to be
dug out Of the drifts, and in founder
ing around they often step on their
shoes loosening or tearing them off.
A Bennington man in trying to go to
Wilmington the other day was com.
PEELED TO take his horse from the sleigh
twice in going three miles and to drag
the vehicle to the top of the drifts in
order to allow loaded teams to pass.
After time the man became disguised
and exhausted by his experience and
returned home. The oldest teamsters
on the mountains say that they have
never known the roads to be filled with
such deep continuous drifts.
