Nathan Meyer Shaikewtz Schooner is dead. This
fact is of no particular significance to the English
reading public, but to Hebrews of high and low de-
gree it is of the greatest Importance. Schooner was
the friend of all Jews and their best known author
and dramatist. His death has caused universal
mourning among his people. Shaikewitz, who was
better known by his pen name of Schooner wrote
so many novels that he himself could not remember
all of them. Some of the work he did in Russia
was resurrected after his popularity became great
here. All his plays seemed to be successful He
was called reast, and it seemed to be equally easy
for him to make people laugh or cry. That he has
not left fortune behind him was the fault of him
self and his unwingness to be bothered by business
details. His play, The Jewish Emigrants, made
more money for its producers than any other play
ever put on the Yiddish stage in New York CITY.
Schooner sold that play outright for $780, The buy
ers of it cleared 100000 up to year ago, and the
play is still on the boards Next to this play the
two most successful were Hannah the Second,
a historical comedy, and The Golden County, a
satrlcal comedy on Jewish professional life in New
York City Schooner became too ill to work nine
months ago Up to that time he was one of the
hardest worked writer's that ever lived He has
written over three hundred novels and plays and
In addition he found time to write considerable
poetry. That his writings were of high character
is evidenced by the title his readers conferred mon
him. They called him "the Yiddish Dumas"

Mon, for no longer will there be close communion
in the Baptist denomination. After an existence of
more than II century, beginning in New England, its
recognition ceased Wednesday, when representatives
of three national organizations-the American Bap-
fist Home Missionary Society," the American Bap-
fist Missionary Society and the Baptist Publication
Society-met in the Lee Avenue Baptist Church, Lee
Avenue and Keap Street, Williamsburg, N. Y. The
action OF the conference recalls the time in 1871,
when the late Rev. John Hyatt Smith of the Lee
Avenue Church, now Paytons Theater, who afterward
became Representative in Congress, was, with his
church, excluded from the Long Island Baptist Asso-
citation because he believed in open communion The
congregation struggled along for years before it was
forced to disband.

river improved that will be navigablc the greater

dredging and trees and snags need removal from the

A NEW FATHER DAMIEN.
Young Canadian Who Will Minister
 to Lepers In India.


 to Lepers In India.
 W. H. P. Anderson, a young Cana dian who has renounced all the pleas ures of the world and decided to de- vote his life to ministering to lepers, recently left England for India, says the London Express.
 Since the days of heroic Father Da- mien no man has given up his life and bis career to undertake this work, and the occasion is at once notable and touching. True, the mission to lepers has ministers in India. But these men go among the outcasts from time to time merely because their work calls them there now and again.
 The station to which MT. Anderson goes Is Chandkuri, in central India, midway between Calcutta and Bom- bay. The lepers' settlement lies twenty miles from the railway track and is practically isolated.
 That he may preach the gospel to the 500 outcasts at Chandkuri MT. Ander- son is now learning the vernacular, but apart from his spiritual ministry the mission to lepers, under whose auspices be goes, has much for him to do and relies much upon his business capacity.
