Jews In the United States.

According to the American Jewish
Year Book. just published, there are
1,41S,813 Jews in the United States,
and of these about $50, 900 are residents
Of the State of New York. In the year
ended June 80, 1905. 11S,419 Jewish
immigrants came to this country. of
whom more than 1000 landed in New
York For many years this class Of i'm
migrants has shown a decided prefer
ence for this city, and consequently
nearly one-half of the whole Jewish
population of the country lives I'm the
metropolis, which is the largest Jewish
city I'm the world. The statistician cred
its New York City with about 600, 600
Jewish inhabitants, which is more than
the entire Jewish population Of the
German Empire. There are fewer than
100000 Jews in the British Empire.
and fewer than 100000 in Turkey. In
Palestine there are $4,000 Jews, about
as many as there are In the new Jewish
district in Harlem; and there are fewer
Jews in Egypt to-day than there are in
the Eighth Ward Of the city OF New
York. From 1881 to July, 1905, 945,-
843 Jews immigrated to this country.
and of these one-efghth came last year.
The port of New York is credited with
having received 103, 941 Jews, which is
more than the whole Jewish population
of France, and more than the combined
Jewish population Of Egypt, Italy and
Bulgaria. Two countries have more
Jews than the United States: Russia,

Telegraph Operators Signs.
(Kansas City Times-)

Telegraph operators always have per-
sonal signs which they place on all
messages they send or receive. Usually
they use two of their initials or take
two letters from their names. For in
stance, James Black will probably use
"JB" as his sign. In many cases, how
ever, they choose their signs in peculiar
ways.
1--WE once had a man working here
who signed 'KE' because he had taken
the Kelley cure" said a Kansas City
chief operator recently. He afrerward
went back to drinking and then used
b. deriving it from booze Another
fellow signed 'PS' because he used to
say he received a poor salary.
"A woman operator we had here used
to sign 'HK.' her initials until one day
her beau Tilted her and married another
girl After that she signed 'BH,' which,
we understood, meant broken heart
I'm an Eastern Office where 1 once
worked there was a hoodoo sign. 1t
was 'KQ.' The first man who used it
there was killed by a train; the next
one went crazy and the third died of
typhoid fever. After that nobody in
the office dared use the hoodoo sign
The story about it's being a Jonah
travelled over the country, and to-day
you'll find very few operators signing

Mayor Dunno, of Chicago, is finding
that municipal ownership is travelling
a rocky road full of breakdown ruts.
His first plan has been defeated in the
City Council by the decisive vote of As
to Is. This plan provided for the or
ganization of corporation Of repre-
sentative citizens, which was to con-
struct about 80 miles of tramways to
parallel the present lines. It is now
said that Dunno will have to introduce
his alternative plan, which is the pur-
chase or condemnation of all the pres
ent lines. This was the plan advocated
by his opponent, Mr.. Harlan, and Sc
verely criticised by Mayor Dunno as

THE ANDERSON FAMILY GUER-
RILIIAS.
The Boys Worse Than Qaantrill-Acci
dental Death Of the Sisters.

Editor National Tribune: Geo. w.
Bowers, New Philadelphia, Ohio, gave
in The National Tribune an account of
the death of Mrs. Quantrill, mother of
ror Of Missouri and Kansas during the
civil war.
I wish to correct Mr.. Bowerss state
ment, THAT with the James boys. etc. /"
The James boys, Jesse and Frank, did
not have much. il anything, to do with
Quantrill's band until about the close
of the war.
The Anderson brothers were the
backbone of the band. In fact, Bill An
derson, the oldest of the brothers, was
second in command, and many people
in Missouri and Kansas thought at that
time that Bill Anderson was holder and
more daring than Quantrill.
It is OF this Anderson family, and the
tragic death Of ore of the Anderson
girls with some other girls, in Kansas
City, Mo-, in the Summer of 1863, that
now wish to write about.
The Anderson family lived IN Morris
County, Kan, before the war; on a
Gil Grove. They had a neighbor named
Baker.
During the Kansas troubles old man
Baker killed old man Anderson. At the
breaking out of the civil war the An
derson boys killed old man Baker and
burned his body in his house. The next
heard of the Andersons the boys were
with Quantrill, and the girls were in
Missouri, near Kansas City.
Early in the Summer of 1858 the
commander at Kansas City thought best
to arrest certain people in the vicinity,
thinking they were giving information
to Quantrill. Among those put in pris-
on were several women and girls; one
family by the name of Van Ness, a
Mrs. Gray and her two little girls, aged
respectively about eight and 10 years.
and three or four young women whose
names l have forgotten, and the three
sisters of the Anderson brothers.
The oldest Miss Anderson was a
quiet, civil-mannered girl; the next one
was much like her brothers She hated
the boys in blue worse than snakes

sition noted before 1896. but probably
It was in the fullest accord with the
Democratic l1eresies before that time.
Then he came to the front as an ardent
supporter Of Bryan's Free Silver, and
maintained this position in the succeed
ing campaign-that Of 1900. He is still
q strong supporter Of Free Silver and
will probably remain SO until the
Democratic Party can find some equal
ly misunderstanding issue to succeed 1t.
He owes his selection for head of the
ticket TO the men who have been as
| ISOLATED with him In all the previous
vagaries of the Democratic Party. and
they have honored him because of his
consistency, with them.
1t seems incredible that the voters Of
Pennsylvania in this jubilee year of the
Republican Party should seriously con-
template turning the State over to the
men whose principles and policies it
has been the Republican Party's mis-
sion to combat, who have persistently
represented and urged all that the Re-
publicans have feared and fought. The
Democrats are making their campaign
desperate hope to prevent the party's
extinction. If they can by any method
or under any pretext carry the State It
means a new lease Of life for the DEM
ocratic Party and recrudescence of
all it's potentialities for harm. The
election of Mr.. Berry for State Treas
urer will have but one meaning for the
country at large, and that is that a
consistent, unfaltering supporter Of
William J. Bryan and all the preced-
ing dangerous fatuities of the Demo-
cratic Party has carried the great State
of Pennsylvania. This will mean that
the Republican Party is being discred-
tied before the Nation, when its
strongest State abandons it. 1t will
mean that the Republicans who rolled
up a plurality of 505,519 for Theodore
Roosevelt will be regarded as having
become tired Of him and his policies,
are repenting their votes and DESTROYS of
reversing their verdict. There can be
no other explanation. The talk about
local issues will fall on cold and dis
believing ears. The belief will pervade
in every section of the country that the
Republican Party is being repudiated
in it's stronghold and that the people
there are turning away from it to the
Democracy. 1t will be a measureless
calamity to have such a feeling obtain
a hold upon the country. We are still
too near the melancholy days of 1892
6 to regard the possibility of Demo-
cratic success without a chill.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania
owe it to themselves. but still more
strongly do they owe it to the country,
that the present perfect sunshine of
prosperity shall not be overshadowed
by any ominous cloud rising in the
State where the Republican Party vir-
tually had it's birth, where it has al
ways received it's strongest and stead
lest support and which has contributed
probably more than any other State
to the wonderful career of the Republi-
can Party in it's half-century of exist
ence. The party must not be discred-
tied in Pennsylvania, and when the
people of that glorious old State look
at it properly they will undoubtedly
make sure that President Roosevelt re-
ceives no rebuke or even repression
from Pennsylvania.

The Canadian Government is taking
heroic steps to foster the development
Of manufactures. The Legislature of
British Columbia has enacted a law
that not a stick Of timber shall be ex-
ported to the United States, but If
Americans want to manufacture tim
Der products they must come to the
Province to do so. In consequence six
large boOms of logs ready for shipment
to the United States have been seized
and the matter has created a good deal
of excitement on both sides of the line,
as the owners Of timbered lands want
to sell and the shingle and lumber mills
of the United States want to buy. An
enormous smuggling business has al
ready developed.
