REASON FOR THEIR EXISTENCE.

In East Sd street there is a young man named
Michaelson, who is head Of the Industrial School
for Jewish Girls and whose work is among the
poor Jews in that district. Like many Of the
young Jews in America, he was educated in the
Hebrew schools in Russia.
What is the reason the reporter asked Mr.
Michaelson, that the immigrant Jew, who has
the privilege of schools. yet insists estab-
fishing schools of his own? And what is the
feeling that leads even the poorest, most igno-
rant Jew to want his child TO know Hebrew and
the literature of Israel?'
with many the cheders were the only
schools they knew in the Old World in Russia
and so they think they must have them here
Also, II is the religious instinct and the result
Of the repression we suffer in Russia In Russia

there, because am Jew. So with all the
other arts, and therefore the emotions and
talents of the Jew in Russia find their outlet
frequently through religion, the synagogue. That
must be one reason why his schools in Russia
and in this country. of that cast mostly.

thought the boys at the Yeshiba Reb ItzChOk
Elchanon were quite right in being dissatisfied
They do not wish to be mummies' he said
This Talmud Torah, which has eleven hundred
students, and classes going until o'clock at
night includes in its course the translation of
the Scriptures into English. 1t also is foremost
in the movement to form East Side Board of
Education and is even talking about having
classes for girls
All these schools Except the private ones) are
supported by the congregations of the various
synagogues and by contributions The big
yeshiba, in 7th street, has lately had a gift of
$4,000 from Jacob Schiff, and it the gift
of $1,000 from Mr. Schif to the Yeshiba Reb
ItzchOk ElchanOn that set the boys there to
thinking that the school ought to be able to
give them better teachers and clothes.

ORIENTAL IN METHOD.

Still, it does no harm to try to get at a thing
even though one is told that II is hopeless, and
the reporter wended his way TO the Rabbi FL
chanon School. This is a large yeshiba of the
old type. All these schools are distinctly IN
modern in their pedagogic methods, and in all
Of them the learning is mostly religious. The
little Hebrew has his reading lesson from the
Hebrew prayerbook When he gets older and
goes TO the yeshiba he takes up the Pentateuch,
Chamisha Chumshe Torah. as they call it
that is 10 say, fve-ffths of the law. over the
Pentateuch he spends many months, taking it
verse by verse, anayzing. brooding over it.
Later he goes on TO the Talmud, and this. with
its great wealth of material, not only religious
but legal, geographical, poetical, phologicai
with its commentaries upon commentaries he
may study endessly if he elects.
All the Jewish schools are unmodern, but some
DO have certain amount Of English Jransla-
uon IN the course and are a trihe more western
and less Oriental in their study methods. DR..
Blaustein has been working TO AmericaniZe
them; there are classes at the Educational Alli-
ance for the Melamdim-that is. the teachers in
the chederS-to give them a knowledge of Eng
lsh and the pedagogy Of to-day; and though, as
Or. Blausteln says, II has required "all his
diplomacy" TO accomplish anything, some of the
schools are now won over
But the Yeshiba Reb Itzchok EIchanon, on
Henry street, is not one of these. The directors
OF that school keep TO Hebrew and the old ways,
and when the students rose up and demanded
classes In English and modern science, and in
cidentally better clothes (for the Yeshiba Reb
ltzchok Elchanon gives its students most Of
whom are poor, an allowance for board and
clothes), there was something of a row. 1t blew
over, though, and this yeshiba is not one of
the four which have Joined in the work OF form

up the Jewish schools bit, 1t is evidently going
IN the old Style.

the Rabbi EIchanon School. in Henry street last
January showed that they did not understand.
They called 1t a strike Of the pupils there,
What they understood by strike was that the
boys dropped their books. went away and played

TWITCHING NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
By DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have af.
flicted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
n rule, inclined to submit to them as i'll
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 408
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all.
ment and her cure:
"For twoyears suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good i'll them for
me. Ny trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. I often had to walk the floor i'll
restiessness the whole night. After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.
I evidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and 1 used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since |
stopped using them the second time 1
have been free from any return Of the
twitchings or from any interference with

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-

curzon Looms in Politics.

The return of Lord Curzon to Eng
land is thought by many shrewd poll
ticians to add new element to the
political situation. 1t is said that the
ex-viceroy of India, taking advantage
of the fact that he is an Irish peer
will stand for parliament and so re
turn to the arena in which his first
triumphs were won. 1t was at one
moment thought possible Lord Cur
zon would throw in his lot with Mr.
Chamberlain, but he has always beer

probably that he will cast his grea
influence on the side Of Mr.. Balfour's
conservative free trade supporters.

Mr.. DICK The ONLY SPEAKER
Held That New Mexico and Arizona
Were Not Ready For ceparate
Statehood - Adjournment Until
Monday-It Will Be Resumed.
Saturday. February IL.

the consideration of the joint state
hood bill and for an hour and half
listened to a speech by Mr.. Dick in
support Of the bill as reported from
the committee on territories. The
Ohio senator's speech received care
full attention from the senator's pres
ent, but the attendance was at no
time large.
Among the auditors in the gallery
were a number of Indians in native
costume.
Mr.. Dick did not conclude his
speech, and as he was not prepared
to resume the senate decided not to
sit again until Monday.
Mr.. Dick especially favored the con-
solidation of Arizona and New Next
co as one state and of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as another. He said
that everybody recognized that Okla
homa and Indian Territory are pre-
pared for admission, and he thought
that everyone acquainted with the
facts ought to agree that, without con-
solidation, New Mexico and Arizona
are not prepared to assume the duties
of statehood.
Mr.. Dick devoted especial attention
to the contention that the act Great
ing Arizona had 'lade provision for
the ultimate conversion of the terri
tory into state, contending that this
was not pledge for the preservation
of territorial lines.
The statehood bill as reported to
the senate is similar in most respects
to the bill passed by the house OF
representatives. The only changes are
those in phraseology or to correct
omissions of thoughtlessness. II is the
hope of those in charge that the bill
can be disposed of in week OF ten
days. This hope may not be realized
as it is appreciated that there is d
disposition on the part of senators tC
use the statehood bill as a buffer tc
keep off more Objectionable legisla
ton.
If an agreement is reached shortly
on the railroad rate bill when that
measure comes from the committee or
interstate commerce. The vote cl the
rate bill is to he taken in the commit
tee. 1t can be asserted with a rea
sonable degree of confidence that the
bill, when passed by the senate. will
be amended by adding the amendment
offered by Senator Foraker. This
amendment proposes that New
Mexico and Arizona shall vote sepa
rately to decide whether they will ac
cept Joint statehood.
1t can be asserted that there are
surely sixteen Republican senators
who will vote for this amendment
Perhaps there will be eighteen. The
names of sixteen can be given as q
result of a poll made by one of the
senators interested in seeing that the
bill is amended as indicated. The Re
publican Sc tors in question are:
