ever characterized the B mai B 'rith.
1t was decided to turn over the publ
cation of the writings Of Leo N. Levi to
the Past Presidents Association of the
Order Of District No. 7, and to pay the
bills for such publication up to the full
limit appropriated for that purpose by
the convention held in New Orleans.
A communication from an association
Of Berlin organized to give information
to immigrants to South America and the
southern states of the Union, asking for
cooperation, was read, and on motion it
was passed that the order cooperate with
the association.
After transacting the routine bust
ness, the meeting adjourned.

Zionist Bulletin

From reports received at the Office of
the Federation of American ZiOnists, it
appears that at least one hundred and
fifty delegates have already signified
their intention to attend the Zionist con-
vention at Tannersville, which begins
on June 29th, and continues until the
fourth of July.
The hotel Accommodations are ample,
and the Secretary of the organization
is of the opinion that at least three hun
dred delegates will attend
The convention will consider the be-
ginning of practical work in Palestine.
Hitherto the movement has not officially
encouraged active colonization and in
dustrial effort in the Holy Land unless
certain rights were guaranteed by the
Sultan. Now, with large organization
behind it, and clearer views as to the
meaning Of nationalism, it has deemed
safe and necessary to inaugurate practi
cal work in Palestine, with view Of
settling nucleus of Jewish communi-
ties in the Holy Land, to be prepared
in the event Of greater liberties, to take
advantage Of them in a conservative and
natural way. From this it appears that
Mr.. Ussshkin s policy will be adopted as
the policy Of the American Zionists.
Among the Zionists who will be pre-
sent, as far as is now known are: DR..
Harry Friedenwald of Baltimore; DR..
j. L. Magnes Of New York; DR.. Solomon
Schechter of New York; the Rev. Joseph
Friedlander Of Beaumont, Texas; Leon
Zolotkoff Of Chicago; Jacob de Haas Of
Boston; Dr. A. M. Radin of New York;
Dr. H. Pareira Mendes of New York;
DR.. L. B. Gordon Of Philadelphia; Louis
Lipsky Of New York; A. H. Fromenson
of New York, and many others.

One night not long ago Miss Sadie

consciousness that the ghost was

This object became stationary over
the foot Of the bed. and remained
there. moving only slightly for some
moments. Miss Taft had an oppor
tunity to closely scrutinlze fl, making
out the shape OF a human head. which
had evidently been roughly hacked
from the body, as II with an axe
About the short piece Of neck be-
meath the head was an appearance Of
moisture, as If the blood was not yet

This vision was sufficiently grue-

Suddenly the head disappeared as

where II had been last seen by Miss
Sadie. and d,d not go back through the
