were empty, were all grins, but in jiffy

Challenging the Judge.

'The late Judge ]. l. Clark Hare said
a lawyer of Philadelphia, was one day re-
lating to me some OF his odd experiences on
the bench.
He said that a certain man was about
to be tried In the common pleas, and
showed great disposition to challenge the
Jurymen.
Evidently the prisoner knew all about
the right to challenge, and evidently he felt
that the more challenging he and his law
yer did the better his case would go for
him.
Finally. though, his challenging came
to an end. He announced that the jury now
satisfied him.
Your challenging is all over? We can
now go on?' said, with a smile, the attor-
ney for the prosecution.

AdmiraI schIey,s LittIe joke.

A prominent naval officer tells a story
that exhibits Admiral Schley somewhat in
the light of a humorist.
Some years ago Schley was in command
of one Of the old navy ships that was fit
ting out at the Boorklyn navy yard for a
foreign cruise. Now, naval officers Of the
wardroom carry lot OF beer with them
when they start on cruise. They are not,
as a rule, heavy drinkers, but they like
beer at mess with their meals. This beer
is taken on board in bottles packed In
straw and placed in immense hogsheads.
1t appears that a few days before Schley's
vessel was to sail for foreign station a
large party OF Brooklyn Sunday school
teachers visited the ship in a body The
party was much interested in watching the
crew stow and break the stores
On the main deck stood one of the big
hogsheads packed full Of beer bottles that
had been emptied. This hogshead of
empty bottles was about to be hoisted.
There was no way for the uninitiated TO
tell whether they were filled or empty, but
the Sunday school teachers Immediately
concluded that the bottles were loaded.
Accordingly they regarded the hogshead
with stern disapproval After a hurried
consultation they determined to send a
delegate to the commander with reference
to the hated hogshead.
"sir," said the former to Schley, ut is
a matter Of deep regret that your vessel
should AIRY such a huge quantity of in
toxic. s."
The quick-witted schley knew at once
that the hogshead was at the bottom Of the
trouble, but he did not '1et on" So, when
the emissary spoke Of the many, many beer
bottles he had seen, Schley exclaimed
''Why. it's simply shocking!" Then. with
his visitor, he left the cabin and repaired

instrumental in procuring Jewish eman-

The most important event in Jewish
literary circles was the publication Of
the last volume of the Jewish Encyclo-
process of publication in New York, un-
der the editorship of j. D. Eisenstein
and H. Broyde. Another encyclopedia
work, under the title ''Monumenta
Judaica" is now being issued in Ger
many, under the editorship of M. Alt
schuler, w. A. Neumann and August
Wunsche The first volume entitled "Bib-
liotheca Targrlmica will include an edi-
ton of all the known Targumin, and the
second volume under the title "Monu-
menta Talmudica' will contain num-
ber of articles on various aspects of the
Talmud. The popular edition Of Fried
lander's English translation of Mai
monides' "Guide to the Perplexed'' was
followed by an English translation Of
Jehudah Halevi' "Kitab al-Khazar" by
H. Hirschfeld. Reinach is still engaged

of Josephus, and DR.. D. S. Margoliouth
has issued revised edition of Winston s
English translation of the same work. A
French translation of the Zohar is now

In conclusion, it becomes our sad duty
to record the demise Of some prominent
Jews. French Jewry lost most heavily
during the year, by the death Of the
Grand Rabbin Zadoc Kahn, Of Professor
Jules Oppert, and Eliezer Lambert, all
known to the scholarly world in their
various branches of activity, and all
workers in Jewish communal institutions.
Russian Jews mourn the death of Loeb
Kupernik, an able lawyer and cham
pion Of Jewish rights, who left Judaism,
but returned to the fold shortly before
his DEATH and of Isaac A. Dembo, the
advocate Of the Shehitah, the Jewish
mode of slaughtering animals. Russian
Jews also suffered great loss in the death

president dubbed it. the ITO, is, as given
in that manifesto, ''to procure a terri
tory upon an autonomous basis for those
Jews who cannot, or will not, remain
in the lands in which they at present
live To achieve this end, the organza-
ton proposes a-TO unite all Jews who
are in agreement with this object; b-To
enter into relations with governments
and public and private institutions; c.
TO create financial institutions, labor
bureaus, and other instruments that may
be found necessary
From the very beginning, this move
ment attracted all those Zionists who
were opposed to what seemed to them the
narrow platform adopted at the last
Zionist Congress, which confined the
work of Zionism to Palestine and it's
vicinity. Later. many influential Jews
and Christians from various lands, joined
the Territorial movement, so that it be-
came necessary to establish branches in
various countries, with the central bu-
reau in London. The Zionists naturally
looked with disfavor upon the progress
Of the ITO, and even attempted to ham
per it's work. At the instance Of Honor
able Oscar S. Straus meeting of the
leaders Of Zonism and Territorialism
was recently held in London, with the
purpose of arriving at some common
basis of action. The proceedings Of this
meeting proved that there can be no COM
mon platform for these two organiza-
tions-Zionism cannot include in it's
plan any land but Palestine and it's
vicinity, while Territoralism will not
confne itself to Palestine only. The ITO
has not yet accomplished anything
definite, but it appears to have some pro-
jects under consideration. and the
British government seems to be favorably
disposed toward it's plans. The first an
nual convention was held in London on
August 1, the anniversary Of the forma-
ton of the society," and was attended by
delegates from various lands.
The Jewish scholarly world celebrated
the nineteenth anniversary of the
veteran, Professor Moritz Steinschneider,
on March 3d. Two young American
scholars. disciples of the sage of Berlin
Professor Henry Matter of the Hebrew
Union College and Professor Alexander
Marx of the Jewish Theological Semi
nary, have been intrusted with the task
of editing the scattered articles of Pro-
fessor Steinschneider in book form, in
honor of the occasion. Berlin Jewry
