AblIene's Fashionable CIOthler and Halter
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-12-22

There are eight HUNDRED thousand
Jews in New York; n hundred and
five thousand arrived during the last
year and many more are coming.
The writer has lately made ONE very
careful observations on this subject
of immigration in England, Germany
and Russia. The latter country is
still in a hopeless condition of an
archy, and the Jews, as much afraid
of the disaffected mob as of the ruth
less Cossack, hold their bundles to-
gether ready to flee at the first mani
festation of danger. Many do not
wait for the signal: they run away
from the Ghettos where starvation
and disease are their portions, and
where life itself, wretched as it is,
has an uncertain tenure, considering
that a dog has more value in the eyes
of the Russian government than a
Jew.
England and Germany are the
main highways by which the Russian
Jews seek the goal of freedom
America. The exodus of Jews from
Russia, started by the outrages in the
early eighties and again in 1891, has
been greatly augmented by the Rus
so-Japanese war and the recent up
rising throughout the Russian En-
pire, so that the Jews of Germany
and those of England were forced to
go down deep in their pockets TO aid
their stricken brethren at their APP
peal. The congestion caused by this
lmassmigration became so great, both
in Germany and England, that the
authorities grew alarmed and sought
a means to rid themselves of the
newcomers. In England they pre-
pared an "Alien Bill" intended with
great particularly to operate as an
act similar to our Chinese Exclusion
Act. In Germany a system of pass
port revision was recalled into oper-
alton that practically excluded all
who preferred not to make the Rus
sian government cognizant of their
movements. However, the majority
of fugitives gave the border officials
no chance of examining them; they
either bribed the frontier Cossacks
to let them pass ''around the corner"
or omitted this formality and them
selves "stole around the corner"
or-and this began to touch body
polite most keenly-the Russian
Jews presented American passports
at the German frontier and passed
unmolested. These papers were in
many cases obtained by means of
fraudulent naturalization papers,
sent to Russia by people in the Unit
ed States.

The

Before and After" Leo Ditrich-
STEMS latest Laughter play" has
made a hit at the Manhattan Treatre,
New York, where it will serve as per-
haps the most amusing comedy to be
seen in New York at this season. Hol-
iday matinees will be given on Christ
mas and New Years Day, in addition
to, the regular Saturday matinees in
vogue at this theatre. This play puts
forward one of the best companies
of comedians seen in New York in a
long time, and when amusing players
have such a medium the result is un-
mistakable. eff you are suffering

Fifth Avenue.

A merry Christmas awaits the
patrons of Proctor's Fifth avenue
theatre as the big double bill for that
festive week promises to provide the
most timely and best amusement in
town. Tn production will be a re-
vivai of Charles Dickens story, ''The
Cricket on the Hearth" the sweetest
play ever written for children of all
ages. This popular story has been
especially adopted for this presenta-
ton by Messrs. Hugh Ford and Law
renee Marston for Christmas time.
Gayety has been added by the intro
duction of a children's ballet in the
abode of Caleb Plummer. New
music, scenery and light effects have
been invented for it and a fine pro-
duction is assured. 1t will be pre-
ceded by a one-act drama by j. Hart
ley Manners, entitled "a Queens
Messenger" This strong little play
is a direct contrast to the Dickens
play which follows, and together they
form a combination which should
prove irresistible to those who wish
good cheer during the holiday

Thus we got an enormous popula-
ton of Russian Jews in New York
which, if undeniably the best element
among the immigrants, has neverthe-
less become a serious problem not
only to the local, but also to our cen
trail government, for the reason that
with the violation of the national
law. a state of congestion now exists
on the East Side of New York and
other eastern seaport cities that baf-
fies the charities as well as the re-
spective local authorities. The bat
tie for existence, the sanitary and
moral conditions, are of a nature to
fill one with the keenest apprehen-
sion, for something, which, though
not clearly defined, is nevertheless
threatening.-The January Metro

"cITY OF UPSIDE DOWN."
Rich Butte, In Which May Be Seen "the Infernal Wonders of Mining"

Rich Butte, In Which May Be Seen
 "the Internal Wonders of Mining"
 Some interesting facts about Butte. Mont, appear in the Worlds Work Among them are the following: The sightseer has pleasant experi ence at Helena, but to get glimpse of the internal wonders of mining, he must now go to Butte. Perhaps no- where else can he have such an expe' rience. In sense the world is upside down. To begin with the city takes its water from the eastern side of the continental divide and thus diverts it from the Atlantic to the Pacific slope. Then, large part of it's population is always underground: and its under ground alleys and streets (so to call them) are longer than those over- ground. All its wealth comes from these depths. Nothing green can grow there. In general nature is turned top sy-turvy.
 But it is rich-very rich-interest- ingly rich. The pay rolls of the mines and smelters are $2,000,000 a month, or about $50 for every man, woman and child
 Within radius Of mile from the courthouse there are 125 mines in oper- ation, and they are producing more than one-fourth of the copper mined in the world. From beneath the sur face of this 1000 acres have already been taken 1,750,00O tons of copper bullion-enough to make an ordinary trolley wire, they tell you, 100000 miles long. If all the shafts, drifts and crosscuts in the hill around Butte and under it could be put together into one straight tunnel, it would reach so they assure you-from Butte to the Pacific Ocean. This wonderful place of mines-nobody who has ever seen 1t can forget it-is on the path that not many years ago Sitting Bull ranged with his braves.

Running Birds.

When 1 first crawled in among the bushes close to the nest the little moth- CT darted at me and poised foot from my nose, as if to stare me out of coun- tenance. She looked me all over from head to foot twice. Then she seemed convinced that I was harmless.
 She whirled and sat on tile nest edge. The bantlings opened wide their hungry mouths. She spread her tail ikea flicker and braced herself against the nest side. She craned her neck and drew her dagger-like bill straight up above the nest. She plunged it down the baby's throat to the hilt and start ed a series of gestures that seemed fashioned to puncture him to the toes. Then she stabbed the other baby until it made me shudder. It looked like the murder of the infants. But they were not mangled and bloody They were getting a square meal after the usual humming bird method of reorganization.
 They ran out their slender tongues to lick the honey from their bills. How they liked it! Then she settled down and ruffled up her breast feathers to let her babies cuddle close to her naked bosom. Occasionally she reach ed under to caress them with whisper ings of mother love.--Country Calen- dar.
