JEWISH AuMoR.
It's Flavor of BitternesS and It's sAt-
 ire of Judaism.

It's Flavor of BitternesS and It's sae-
 ire of Judaism.
 Renan said of the Jews, "The Sem ltIc people are almost entirely without the power to laugh" Surely had he looked for traces of Jewish humor In the light which Helne casts back upon it's dark tradition he would never have made so sweeping statement, For eight years Heine lay upon his mat tress grave" in Paris suffering excru- ciating agony. He deserved, he said, to have awarded to him "the grand medals of pain and misery" Leopold Zunz said almost the same words of tho whole Hebrew people, If there are ranks in suffering, Israel takes prece- fence of all the nations" The Eumor of Israel is favored with bitterness and plays round the greater subjects of thought and of speculation; plays like the humor of man in pain.
 Listen to the lament of a satirist born at Aries In 12S7 who finds the works of the Jewish law an intocrabe burden and seems to have come, like Helne. to the bitter conclusion that Judaism is not a religion, it Is mis- fortune;"
 Oh, hapless sire, distraught with cares, Whose wife to him male children bears, For all of them, or rich or poor Have only suffering to endure. mi ts. Ra g,rnh hys 70 IRy Whose yoke Is hard 10 bear Indeed. It's many laws and regulations Which are unknown to other nations Every Hebrew must observe
 With watchful eye and straininG nerve; Fen though he shares In public functions, He stlll must follow their iEjuncuons. The Bible is not half enough; Closes there are and other stun In which he erudlte must be, Especially in theology, In all the Talmud may relate, In authors quarrels and debate, In things particularly small, Of no significance at all.
 One more mediaeval quotation, thIs time from the pen of q Barcelona Jew The lines can hardly perhaps be called humorous, but they Illustrate with a certain terse comedy the great value set by the race upon three things money, knowledge and domestic hap plness. If man has none of them the poet has no better advice to give him than to hold his tongue or to hang him self:
 ,,-,. L. .L .-,,,. ,,saf,,1 thT,p tD any
 man in lfe?
 Knowledge or wealth or a good and lov-
 ing wife.
 But if none of these commodities man has
 ever got
 Then by keeping golden silence he might
 improve his lot. And if he cannot do so. that poor and hap
 less knave,
 Then let him so away at once and dig
 himself a grave.
 On his deathbed Helne made bis last. joke. and It Is typ:cally Jewish. Re viewing his by no means irreproacha- hle past" he hoped that God might for give him, flor c'est son met.er'-tthatis Is his trade). Another story Illustrates vet more perfectly the bitter humor of the Jew. It is the story of a dying rabbi "who had been all his lifetime extremely religious, but had likewise always suffered much want and mis- cry. Do you know he said to those in the sickroom, If after all the sad ex' perlences 1 have had ln the past there Is no future life l shall be greatly amused '"-LOndOn Spectator.

ClCGHT BURGLAR AT WORN.
was Using Ice Pick on Dr. Ogden's Door
Gets Away. Probably with Punctured Leg

$50 ''fNs'
DR.. William A. Ogden, a dentist. with
Offices on the second floor at $50 West i25th
street, slept in his Office on Friday night
because his wife had gone out of town and
his home was being renovated. He vas
awakened about 3 O'Clock in the morning
by strange noises. Going into the front
Office. he found out a burglar was working
on the door.
DR.. Ogden peeped through a keyhole and
he saw a young man jamminG an icepick
into the door alongside of the lock, The
dentist couldn't get a good look at the mans
face, but he saw the lower part of his body
and says the man was roughly dressed.
After waiting for some time for develop
ments, DR.. Ogden finally PM the barrel ot a
IS calibre revolver against the lower panel
OF the door and fired.
The burglar hustled down the stairs three
al a time and ESCAPED by way of the front
door. The dentist tried TO follow, but the
ice pick had jammed the lock and he could
not open the door. Dr., ogGen finally
reached the hallway by climbing out of "A
rear window TO the fire escape and getting
through a window leading to the hall. The
crook had made his escape.
The police of the West l25th street station
were notified and the place was searched.
II was found that the burglar had forced
an entrance into the Offices Of the Riverside
Securities Company, across the hall from
the dentists Offices. He had ripped open
desks, strewn papers about and had vsinly
tried to open the safe with a chisel.
No trace Of the bullet that DR.. Ogden
fired could be found. The police think it is
in one of the crooks legs, as it would have
surely struck the door Of the securities
company's Offices opposite had something
not stopped IL. TIL police consider it an
amateur Job.

THE REV. JOHN LLOYD LEE DEAD
Pastor OF the Westminster Church, which
once Left the Presbytery.

The Rev. DR.. John Lloyd Lee, who was
pastor OF the West Minister Presbyterian
Church in West T~wenty-third street when
a majority of the members decided to with
draw from the New York P~reshytery
died yesterday in his cottage at Asbury
Park. where he has been living since the
trout les in the church came to a head.
DR.. Lee had typhoid fever during the
summer, which left him in a weakened
condition. When he contracted pueu-
monia a few days ago he sank rapidly.
DR.. Lee, who was about ~ years old.
came here five years go from a church
in East Liverpool, Ohio. Before that
he had teen in Minneapolis and other
Western cit les.
About a year g a controversy arose
bet the New York Pres ytery on the
one side and Dr.-Lee- md the majority
of the ~ation on the other.
The congregation voted for an expensive
modern church on its old cite, for which a
mortgage on the property for S275,0on vas
10 he executed. The Preshytery advised
against it, and suggested that the church
move uptown and unite with another con-
gregation. The controversy led 10 a split
in the church.
On January 81 Of this year DR.. Lee and the
legal members Of HE church voted TO with
draw from the PPesbvtery. lpon the ad-
vice OF the P~resbytery the anti-lee faction
took the ease into the civil courts and got
an injunction restraining the pastor from
using or retaining control of the church
property or funds. 81
In October Dr. Lee applied for admission
10 the Brooklyn Presbyterv, but the MEM
hers "nfectionately asked that his aprlics-
ton be withdrawn, DR.. Lees faithful
adherents appealed IL the Synod, the church
body above the Presbytery. and he Synod
replied that having Withdrawn from the
Presbytery the church had no standing.
Realizing that the case was hopeless. 4
majority OF the members voted on October
90 to ask for readmission to-the Presbytery.
They were advised by the Presbyterv to
submit themselves 70 the authority Of the
Rev. Robert Mackenzie, who was appointed
moderator Of the session AZ Westminster
Church Just before the secession. This was
lone Of n meeting a few nights ago and
the action was then approved ny the Pres-
bytery. Practically the entire church II
now in good standing.
Al a meeting Of the Presbytery on No
vember 10 a letter was received from Mrs.
Lee. saying that her husband had regretted
his action in Withdrawing and asking that
ne be reinstated. The P~resbytery decided
that DR.. Lees application should be made
a. if he had never been a member of the
Presbytery and were being examined for
z orders.
