The Jewish outlook., 1906-11-23


Judah p. Benjamin, of New Orleans,
whose wife was a devout Catholic and
whose daughter married Captain Henri
de Bousignac Of the 117th regiment of
the French line, Kohler says: "Such
intermarriage was, in 1888, not uncom-
mon.' A Jewish traveller in New
Orleans in 1912 speaks Of the synagogue,
which merely accommodated fifty per-
sons, and former rabbi, Dutchman,
had married Catholic wife, who with
difficulty was restrained from sending
crucifix to his grave at his burial
In more recent times intermarrlage
of Jews with Christians in the United
States has continued unabated. In fact,
very few Of the original Jewish settlers,
who were Of Spanish and Portuguese
origin, have left descendants. Most have
been absorbed by intermarriage. For
lack of denOminatiOnal statistics, 1t Is
impossible to state accurately the extent
of intermarriage between Jews and
Christians in the United States at the
present time. 1t is known to be very
common in the western and southern
states, and less so in the eastern states.
In a recent paper by Professor M.
Schlesinger of the Hebrew Union Col
lege, he quotes Rabbi George Zepin,
director of circuit preaching, to the effect
that in the northern part OF the United
States five per cent. is the maximum pro-
portion Of mixed marriages, while in the
South the proposition ranges from ~ to
SO per cent, 33 per cent. beng most
nearly correct.
There are no available statistics as to
the frequency Of mixed marriages in New
York City to-day. From the census OF
the Federation of Churches taken in 1902
of the Twenty second Assembly District
(Thirty- to Fifty-ffth streets,
East Side), there were found several
cases, about one per cent, Of intermar-
riage But this does not by any means
represent the real conditions. Among
many of the older Jewish families In this
city we find many cases Of intermarrlage,
and even on the East Side, among the
immigrant Jews, they are no more rare.
In the western states it is very common,
and the rabbis have of late actually
sounded an alarm as to the danger OF
mixed marriages.
We can conclude with the words OF
Arthur Ruppin, who thoroughly studied
the problem in Europe: "The best pre-
ventive of intermarriage is the ghetto.
In Galicia, Russia, the east end OF Lon
don and the east side Of New York, they
are rare But in countries where the
Jews participate in the social and eco

Environment
Continued from Page 2.)

1903, $3.50 Jews married with Christ
ians, and &C, ,275 with Jews, i. e., 5.95 per
cent of all pure Jewish marriages were
mixed. Most of these marriages are con-
tracted in the city of Budapest, where the
proportion reached 17.O6 per cent. dur
ing 1903 and 1904.
For English-speaking countries there
are no available statistics on the subject
Of intermarriage, because no religious
censuses are taken. In England they oc-
cur often among the native Jews, and
although among the immigrant Jewish
population in London they are less fire.
quent, still they are not as rare as is
generally believed. In New South Wales
it was found, while taking the census of
1901, that of all married Jews, 781 were
married to Jewesses and 6S6, i. e., 81
per cent, were married to Christians.
In the history of the Jews in the
United States there are many instances
of intermarriage between Jews and
Christians, even in Colonial times. Ac-
cording to Professor Hollander, the we'll
known 'Ye Jew doctor, Jacob Lum-
brozo in Maryland married Christian
woman about 1860. DembitZ shows that
'there is no frequenter Of the synagogue
who either lived in Kentucky or whose
ancestors lived there before 1885, and
he gives as cause that the early jew
sh settlers disappeared through inter
marriage with Christians "and the de-
scendants of the early Jewish settlers are
known only by their Jewish family
names and their oriental CD features.
One has to read detailed accounts of sew
eral Jewish families in New York, Penn
sylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
ETC., to be convinced as to the extent OF
mixed marriages in pre-Revolutionary
times. The Franks family is particu-
larly interesting: One daughter, Rebecca,
married Sir Henry johnson; another,
Mary or Polly, married Andrew Hamil-
ton. About New York, M. j. Kohler says
in his work "Jewish Life in New York
before 1902 that "several cases are at
hand of intermarriage between Jews and
.Jewesses to Christians and occasional
conversions to the prevailing religion.
In the Biographical Sketches of the
Graduates of Yale College-Vol. H.,
1853, two Jews are mentioned, one "of
Jewish extraction who became prom
inent citizen and one Of the founders OF
the Episcopal church in Norwalk; the
other married woman of French
HuguenOt descent. In Ohio also all
traces Of the early Jewish settlers have
been lost. One is mentioned who

stated that his errors probably seemed
greater to him than to his critics, but
that he was comforted to think OF
tho company's unprecedented achieve
ments and to know that no officer or
trustee had profited improperly at the
expense of the policyholders.
President Orr said that the fact that
the presidents salary had been re
duced to $4,000 did not.mean that the
salaries of other officers would be re
ducel in the same proportion.
Richard A. McCurdy, former presi-

St Petersburg, Jan. 1.-The remark

was held in readiness to destroy the

vensky in a letter published in the

Admiral Togo In regard to the dispo-
sition Of his forces. Rojestyensky de-
clares that this was unknown even to
the admiral of the British feet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated
his forces at Wei-Hai-Wei in expecta-
ton of receiving an order to annihi'
late the Russian feet IL this. the final
object OF Great Britain, was beyond
the power of the Japanese.
From Admiral Rojestvensky's &C.
count of his tactics, the reader is al
most convinced that the Russian COM
mander outmanoeuvered Admiral Togo
at every point and -Gas himself the
real victor. He declares he knew Adj
miral Togo's exact whereabouts two
days before the battle, made his dis
positions accordingly, and entered the
fight with his eyes open.
The charge that the British admiral
concentrated his ships at Wei-Hai'
Wei expecting to receive an order to
destroy the Russians in the event OF
Admiral Togo proving unequal to the
task, has aroused a considerable sen.
sation in diplomatic circles, all the
more as Admiral Rojestvensky's letter
was published with the permission OF
the minister of marine, and no doubt
Is entertained that It will be made
the subject of diplomatic representa-
tons to Great Britain.

CALLERS ON THE PRESIDENT.
Secretary Root and Gen. Woodford
Among Those at the White House.

The President, as usual on Saturday night,
had some visitors last night Secretary
Root called early and remained several
hours discussing a number of important
matters that are pending. The Algeciras
conference has reached what seems to be
critical stage and Secretary Root is under
stood to have some reports from the Ameri
can representatives carefully detailing the
situa tion. The President and Secretary
Root hope that an adjustment of the differ
ences between France and Germany, now
before that conference, may result salts
fdctorily but the reports are not so hope
full in that respect as they were some time
ago.
Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford of New York
called upon the President with some New
York friends and they talked about political
affairs in that state. Gen Woodford was
the American minister to Spain at the out
break of the war with that country and
was given his passports by the Spanish gov
ernment. He was d prominent figures In
the negotiations preliminary to that memor
able struggle He did not seek to return
to the diplomatic service after the war was
over although offered positions by Presi-
dent Mckinley.

TALK .ABOUTSTATEHOOD
SENATORS BELIEVE BILL WILL
BE PROMPTLY DISPOSED OF.

1t is asserted confidently by leading sena-
tors that the statehood bill will not be
used a buffer for rate legislation, as has
been said at times in the past, but on the
other hand there Will be an effort to dispose
OF it as soon as possible after the debate
begins 1t is said the speeches on the bill
will probably not consume more than a
week, and that vote will be reached as
rapidly as possible.
1t has been shown that the last amend
ment to the bill introduced by Mr.. Foraker,
providing for an election in the territories
of New Mexico and Arizosa to determine
whether they will accept JOINT statehood,
does not meet the same degree of favor as
was accorded by leaders to the former
amendment by the Ohio senator which is
generally referred to as the Foraker
amendment. The last amendment provides
for an election to determine the sentiment
of the people before any other step is taken
toward the organization of the state gov
ernment, so that If under that amendment
the people should vote flyorably there
would be a second election.
This, Il is claimed, would not result In
calling out as full vote as would be the
case under the Foraker amendment as in.
trOduced in the last session and earlier in
the present session of Congress. The state
hood bill will be the first of the admins
tration measures to be voted on by the
Senate and 1t Is now practically decided.
1t is understood, to secure an almost solid
democratic vote against 1t, as the effort
has been made to make opposition to it a
democratic issue. although no caucus ac-.
