Atlanta Once Again Itself.

Atlanta, Sept. 27.-Atlanta in all
her history, has never known more
quiet or peaceful day than today has
been. Normal conditions following
the riots have been completely restor-
ed, and there has come over the COM
munity also the feeling of peace and
security which dispels all fears.
Business everywhere has been re-
sumed, the laborers, both negroes and
whites, have all gone to work, and it
is safe to say there are more negroes
at work now than has been the case
in many a day. Their loa6ng haunts
are closed and there is nothing else
left for them to do.
The Atlanta military is still kept in
the armories at night, and a small
patrol is kept in the outlying districts
merely to strengthen the feeling of
security. This will be continued
through Saturday night, and the troops
will then be quietly withdrawn from
duty. The city police force in its aug
mepted state will probably be keptup
permanently. The authorities have
realized the necessity for a streng-
thened police force for some time, and
now that events have brought it about
. l.
the extra men put on will, no doubt,
be all retained.
The action of the city council in re-
voking the licenses of all saloons for
the purpose of wedding out the low
dives, has been generally commended
throughout the city. 1t is stated that
licenses will be granted to decent and
respectable places.
Now that the saloons are closed for
week or ten days, the Anti-Saloon
League is anxious to keep them closed
permanently.

gregation for years before, having been
reared in the parish and actively Identified
with the church from the time of its foun-
dalton in 1854 by the Rev. J. A. Walters
of st. Patrick's Church. 1t was a coinci-
dence, therefore, that he should return to
the congregation as pastor, and his success
in the upbuilding of the church. both nu-
merically and INTELLECTUALLY, has evoked
great deal of appreciative comment from
the congregation.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 27.-The proposed
converting of Jewish congress to deal
with the situation of the Jewish people in
Russia has created a strong division in
the Jewish community of this city, and
New York's Jewry is now threatened with
The classes representing these factions hav-
ing different views as to how and under
whose auspices this congress should be con-
vened have now parted company and each
one of the two circles pursues its own
policy and makes it's own efforts toward
bringing about the organization of Jew
ish congress. The result is competition
between the two parties, and 1t may even
come to pass that two different congresses
will be convened. Many of the leaders
of the community are very much angered
by the recent turn Of things and war
between the different advocates of the con-
gTess Is imminent.
AS it is well known, the first steps toward
bringing about a Jewish congress of Amer
lea were taken by number Of national
Jewish organizations including the Union
of Orthodox Congregations of the United
States and Canada. the Independent Order
of the Free Sons of Israel the Alliance
Israelite Universelle the Federation of
American Zionists, the Jewish Defense As
soc;ation and other organizations
"A preliminary conference of representa-
tives of all these organizations was held
some time ago in the Educational Alliance.
In addition to the delegates that were pres
ent, letters were received from organfza-
lions who had no time to elect delegates,
but who expressed their sympathy with the
idea of calling a Jewish-American congress.

communca ton of the Independent Order of

CHINESE CIVILIZATION.
It Has Reared Some of the Greatest
Structures Built by Man.
From the ChautauGuan.

From the ChautauGuan
Ten centuries ago China was undoubtedly
the most civilized portion of the world. and
1900 years ago only Egypt and possibly
India could have competed with II. But
while the others have changed In various
ways China has remained the same. IhlnK
of some of its achievements The greatest
structure ever reared by human hands is
the Great Wall. 1t is 1900 miles long;
without break it crosses valleys. climbs
mountains, chambers up the face of preci-
pices and bounds an empire on the north
It was built before the formation OF the
Roman empire. while it was still republic,
and while Christianity was still unborn, in
204 B. c. Or, to take n modern instance,
while the enlightened peoples of Europe
were still engaged with the crusades, be-
fore gunpowder or the printing press had
been invented, China built the great canal,
almost 100 years ago.
Our imagination fails us with such num-
bers A thousand years OF Chinese history
make no impression upon us, for they stand
for no events and are represented to our
thought by nothing distinguished in char
acter or literature. But to the scholar
all is different. He learns to fill out the
centuries and gain at least some faint idea
of their magnitude. He comes to under
stand that IL has not been quite monoton-
GUS sameness, but that there have been
wise and unwise rulers successful and in
efficient dynasties periods of refinement
with fiourishing literature and art. and
periods of terrible and desolating warfare.
In China, too he comes to understand there
have been great sovereigns, great novefists,
great esseyists. To begin to master all that
has been there achieved is beyond the
powers of any man, and the most that
an Industrious student can hope to do is
to learn more or less thoroughly the events
of some single period, or to trace the de-
velopments of some particular line of sci
ence of art. Chinese encyclopedias
there are. in hundreds of volumes. and his
tories which seem interminable, and die
tionaries which are terrifying by reason of
their size, and compendiums and short edi
tons innumerable, themselves seemingly

1.-THE world is surely growing better. and
the cause OF this growth is the influence
of Christianity. We women owe all we
have to Christianity. Only among the
ragan races Is woman kept below the level
of man. Christianity has uplifted her. You
know st. Paul said that woman should be
no longer in bondage. He said: For as
the woman Is of the man. even so Is the
man, also by the woman but all things of
God 1t is the church that has raised man
