Jews Have Lost Favor.

Iy preiudiced their position. The Emperor wanted to see justice done and the pub lie sympathized with their demand for equality before the law; but, unhappily. the attitude of the Jews since the Elm perors manifesto has alienated much of the sympathy for them. It is undeniable that they have been guilty of excesses everywhere. that they were on the firing line in the revolution and no longer con tented themselves by asking for equality with the Russians. but insisted on the complete downfall of the government. This result provoked a hostile sentiment among the Russian people,.

House and regret To- report that we
find that some of the houses are in
poor condition and the roofs ON
these houses To such an extent that
the inmates are afforded little pro-
lection from the weather; we also
find that some of the beds are not
in as good condition as they should
be. 1t is the opinion of our body
that the paupers are not provided
for proportionally to the amount of
money expended by the County in
this behalf
The above is taken from the

.LANC'S MOTHER
WRITES BACK.
Receives the Letter He Sent But

Him Wanted Justice Done.

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 2O:-
Fred Lang, the convicted murderer
of Katie Gordon, has been the object
of good deal of sympathy on ac-
count of the letter he wrote to his
mother, which was intercepted and
used against him AZ the trial. A
good many have the impression that
his piteous plea to his mother never
reached her and that she is ignorant
of his fate.
That is not the case. Jailer Rog-
ers, who intercepted the letter, ex-
plained the situation this morning,
like this: When the letter was inter
cepted an exact copy was at once
made and the copy was forwarded to
the boys mother in Hungary. The
letter was sent to the address OF
Lang's stepfather, Nemeth Mihaly.

Weszeprem Megye, Hungary,
Lang's mother received the letter,
but never answered it. Instead she
wrote to her stepdaughter, Mrs John
Gordon, mother of the murdered girl,
that Lang had always been an undu-
tiful son, and she had always thought
he would come to bad end. she
said that he need look for no sym
pathy or help from her, but must
pay the penalty if he had committed
a crime.

Union agitation is at a critical
point and exciting developments will

signs. Union men could be seen all
day yesterday congregated in small
crowds on different corners, and
seemed to be talking earnestly over
something, of which they would give
no information.
The union men say, when ques-
toned, that there are only three non
union mex working, and that all the
non-union masons employed are moth
ing but hod carriers and mortar mix
ers pressed into service, and further
more they emphatically say that the
men are poor mechanics, and that the
work done by them is of the lowest
order.
The bosses smile at such a state
ment and refuse to reply.
One union man said yesterday that
the bosses must bring the men in by
airships, as they do not know of any
new carpenters that have arrived in
the city.
The bosses show no signs of giving
in and seem to be satisfied with the
progress they are making in their
work Those looking for speedy
adjustment of affairs bid fair to be
disappointed.
