Central Berlin. A Jew was summoned
by the court to appear before it as
witness on the 29th inst. His appeal to
be relieved from that obligation as the
day was the Jewish Fast Of Atonement
was at first refused on the ground that
the Jewish festivals did not belong to
the feasts recognized by law. The Jew
thereupon appealed to the president OF
the court, insisting upon the fact that
the rejection of his request oppressed
his conscience, and he therefore re
newed his prayer for release from the
obligation. The court demanded that
he should bring proof that the Jewish
religion imposed upon hlm the duties
of conscience alleged. The witness hav-
ing given the required proof, the date
of the hearing of the case was changed.

"Rtrbt Rather than Rfch.r

In the speech delivered by Gov. Folk
of Missouri before the 500 members of
the Boston Merchants Association there
occurred a number Of pointed epigfams,
which have been widely copied and dis
cussed. One was that the people of the
country are really beginning to try ito
get right rather than to got rich" An
other was that political parties are be-
ginning to learn that honesty is, after all.
the best politics. He said that the peo-
pie have learned that a CRATER is a graft
er still, whether he calls himself DEM
ocrat or a Republican; that it is more
difficult to get good laws enforced than
it is to enact them. and that every law
looks blue to the man who wants to
break it."

Superintendent of Prisons G. w. Col
Inns of New York now recommends that
life prisoners, which includes those con-
victed of murder in the second degree,
be placed under the indeterminate sem
tence and become eligible to parole at the
expiration of nineteen years and eleven
months. This in fact is found to be
equivalent to a life sentence in eighty
eight cases out of hundred. Superin-
tendent Collins reasons are that there
will be fewer prisoners pardoned, fewer
will die or 60 insane and each will have
the same opportunity to earn release By
good behavior.
