JEWS ARE ACQUIRING LAND.
In Europe They Hold 248 Times a.
Much as They Did 40 Years Ago.

The anti-Jew faction in Russia de-
clares that even with the present re-
strictions the Jews have managed to
acquire a large portion of land, for
which the following figures are quoted
in the Jewish magazine, the Menorah:
within the Pale the real estate of
the Jews advanced from 10000 dessia-
tins in 1860 to 14S,000 in 1870, 100000
in 1880, $4,000 in 1890, and to 1885,
900 in 1900.
in the kingdom of Poland the Jews
held 10000 dessiatins in 1860, 14S, 900
in 1870, 100000 in 1880, $4,000 in 1890,
and 1861 900 in 1900.
"In European Russia outside the
Pale Jewish landholding is said to
have increased 24S times in 40 years
in the following proportion: In 1860,
5000 dessiatins; in 1870, $4,000 dessia-
tins; in 1880, $4,000 dessiatins; in
1890, 1920 dessiatins, and in 1900,
745,0 dessiatins."
According to these statistics the
total holdings of the Jews throughout
the Russian empire, which only
amounted to 10000 d~essiatins in 1860,
reached in 1900 the high figure of g.
3S1, 057 ,dessiatins, out 'of which the
Jews own as their property 1,445, 900
de~ssiatins, while the remaining 935, 0CO
dessiatins are rented by them as ten
ants.

Roosevelt and His Text.

In his last sermon, that to the Epis.
copal ministers, President Roose.
velt's text included the following
verse:
For he beholdeth himself, and
goeth his way, and straightway for
getteth what manner of mar he was"
Mr.. Roosevelt was not so very long
ago an earnest and voluble advocate
of tariff revision.
Mr.. Roosevelt less than a year ago
denounced the practice of corpora
tons giving large sums to campaign
funds. He demanded that a law be
passed making public all campaign
contributions.
Mr.. Ro%osevelt's congress didn't
pass any law letting in the light on
the party management Of campaigns.
The same fat-frying committeeman
are moving the machine and the pres
ident is actively directing the Repub-
lican campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt, the tariff revisionist,
has suddenly become Mr.. Roosevelt,
the head of the "standpatters."
Has he forgotten what manner Of
man he was?"

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are a Specific for Dangerous
Physical Declines.

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, a tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability TIC stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri-
ton due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally a loss Of
appetite and a coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula M. Metzger, a stenographer,
liyingat II Mill street, Watertown, NY,
suffered for over q year from general
debility. cit vas caused by overstudy,"
she says, "and | had no ambition, didn't
want to go anywhere, my food didn't
taste good, I was run down, lifeless and

to help me. Finally friends recon-
mended DR.. Williams Pink Pills to my
mother and she got some for me. I took
them for ONE time and was entirely
cured and have had no return of the
trouble"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red,
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and tissues
Of the body, nerves as well as muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient to cure de.
bility but many severe nervous disorders
as well.

Given Sentence of Fifteen
Years in Penitentiary.

Salisbury, N. c., Aug. 11.-What is
said to be the first instance of the
conviction of a lyncher in the history

at which Hall was tried was ordered
sld that being out of the SKATES

FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD
Found In Small Stream In the High
sierras, Says Expert.

The finest trout in the world, says
DR.. Barton w. Evermann of the bu-
reau of fisheries, Is to be found in
little stream of the high Sierras In
southern California called Volcano
creek. The trout is named the golden
trout" and in beauty of coloring
gameness and delicacy of flavor it has
no equal.
So far as is known, it exists only
in this stream, which is about ~
miles in length. President Roosevelt
recently called attention of the bureau
of fisheries to this unique specimen,
with the result that DR.. Evermann was
sent to California to study its habits
and environment and to see whether
1t might not be introduced elsewhere.
He reports that the trout is In dan
ger of determination and that fishing
in the stream must be prohibited by
the state of California for three years
If the trout is to be saved. DR.. Ever
mann has also recommended that the
bureau of fisheries undertake the ar
tificial propagation Of the trout and
cooperate with the state of California
in transplating it to number OF bar
rem streams that can be easily
reached-National Geographic Maya

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
It Is Dedicated by the. w. L. Douglas
Co. at Brockton.

The dedication a short time ago of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of it's NAM
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm in all its undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from II a. m. to 8 p. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded feast
for the eye, especially the Offices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over 1000 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the w. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufacture
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
cd call and inspect the new plant, and
says "the latch string is always out"
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and Wis
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and GUS
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
iobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry
complete stock of mems, boys, youths,
misses and children's shoes, slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bling house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an Office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des-
patch of mail.

For.ion Born Men of Fame.

OF the 100000 Canadians engaged
in business or following professional
pursuits in the United States many
hold prominent posts. Who's Who
liz America" mentions 245 Canadians
Allowing one-eighth of those born in
Great Britain but brought up in and
therefore rightly to be credited to
Canada, the number of Canadians be-
comes 276, or 2.3 for every 10000
Canadians in the United States. With
this may be compared the British rate
per 10000 of 20, that of FL for the
Dutch, that of IS for Swedes. and
that of 8 for native Americans (black
and white), or 10 for native white
Americans.
