OF 1888 MISSING
Bodies of $50 Have Been Recovered
at Monongah.

Monongah, W. Va, Dec 1a-state
Mine Inspector Paul Of West Virginia
IS making thorough examination of
Mines No. and today Until Mr.
Paul concludes his investigation. all
other work at the mines has been sus-
pended Explorations were stopped last
night at which time total of 800 bodies
had been recovered.
The results Of the census taken by
the company shows that 1888 men are
missing. With a few exceptions 1t is
believed by the officers that these fig
ures constitute the actual number of
miners killed. In addition, however
there are number of contractors and
men hired by these contractors believed
to have been in the mines when the
explosion occurred.
Mr. PauPs examination will probably
be completed by night when a force of
men viii begin to clear away the debris
In both mines caused by the falls. 1t
will be several days before the exact
death list will be known. Coroner E.
s. Ames announced today that the in
quest would begin Tuesday. Many ex-
perts will give testimony and the in
vestigation will probably last week.

An Interesting Program.

The violin pupils of Kissing con-
servatory entertained a large audi
ence last night. The intense enthus-
iasm and demand for encores was of
the high class concert order and
lacked the amateurish effect of pupils
recitals.
Prof. Kissing is certainly accom-
plishing wonderful results and his
violin school may well be called 'fDie
Meister Schulz" Every motive and
phrase in Beethoven's symphony and
other ensemble numbers, so perfect
ly brought out, by the violin orches-
ira, was ample proof of his ability as
orchestra director, and since we have
the wind instrument players why not
expect a symphony orchestra? Such
a magnificent programme as the one
rendered last night should be given
in a larger hall to accommodate the
public.
The soloists, Miss McKitrick, violin
teacher of Campbell college; Miss Jes-
sic Waller, Prof Bissing's violin as
sistant; Mr.. Haulenbeck of Manhat-
tan and Beulah Wentworth, a Topeka
girl II years of age all of whom
played their respective concertos in
masterful manner, and reflect great
credit upon their instructor, who
seems to be here to stay and develop
the excellent talent in Topeka and
throughout the state. A ladies quar-
tette sang. Miss BechtePs singing was
delightful and her ease of attacking
high tones, and soft tone production
bears the mark of distinction which
characterizes the work of Miss Wal
tiers pupils.

The fallacy of distributing free tick
cts among the school children was dem
onstrated at the Howe lecture last
night when the noise made by the
youngsters in the gallery robbed many
of the patrons of an opportunity to
hear the lecture.
For once there was no complaint
made about the poor light at the E. W.
Howe lecture at the Auditorium last
night, it being the intent to give the
lecture in a darkened hall for the pur-
pose of lettering the effect of the
stereopticon views.

Chicago, Dec. ia dispatch to the

says: Paul Niles, a hunter, was at
tackled by an enormous flock of crows
near here and barely escaped with his
life. Niles fired into the flock, wound
ing several, and the others attacked
him. The man started to run, but was
knocked down and pecked about the

greatest difficulty he crawled to

him all the way, and it was not until
he was inside that they desisted. Niles

Jews in the British Army

The publication of the general annual
report Of the British army for the year
ending September 80, 1906, presents in
teresting details as to the number of
Jewish soldiers enlisted as such in the
regular forces. For it is well known
fact that there are at the present mo-
ment a large number Of young Jews,
amounting to some hundreds, who con-
ceal their Judaism while wearing the
Kings uniform, for reasons best known
to themselves AS an instance of this
unhappy practice, I may mention that
before the recent Passover, 1 asked for
returns Of Jews in various regiments
stationed near London, and certain
commanding officer reported to me that
he had no Jews in his battalion. A few
days afterward I made the acquaintance
Of two men Of that same regiment who
desired to revert to their faith-an ar
rangement that is very easily carried
out, and these men told me of the exist
ence Of at least another twenty Jews,
unknown to the official lists, in their
battalion. Experience of this habit of
concealment is quite common, and it is
necessary to keep this in mind in order

OF American Jewry. 1t is task, more
over, imposed by conditions within, not
without; our own interests, not those
of the immigrant, make the problem
real. The club has gone unmolested in
its waywardness so long that it has come
to think it's practices inalienable rights.
But its strength is less formidable than
its seems, the overwhelming number OF
Jews in every city, after all, feel a latent
resentment at the forwardness of club
dom. They need only be aroused to end
once for all organized Jewish infraction
of Sabbath law. The lethargy of Jewish
leadership seems responsible for the vir-
ulence the disease has attained. If our
leaders -rabbis, synagogue officials,
Jewish councils, temple auxiliaries, b.
B. committees-wi organize their
forces for relentless warfare, and in
these forces begin simultaneous attack
in every city, the atfrontery Of the club
to the synagogue will soon cease. But
if, when all is done, the club remains OBJ
durate, then our social life must be
moved back to the synagogue precincts
where, in truth, it belongs. TO the syn
agogue and to the institutional temple
the amenities of club life shall be pos
sible, and where all the legitimate fea-
lures of club life shall hold sway, from
bowling to cards and dancing, the il

to estimate at their true value the Off
cial regimental returns.
The latest Blue Book reports that out
of a total Of 245,97S non-commissioned
officers and men in the army, 1SS de-
clared themselves as Jews. In the pre-
vious year, when the total strength Of
the Regular forces stood at some S,77O
men more than the present number, the
178. Thus, small though it be- the num-
Der Of Jews enlisting in on the increase,
while the general total of the army is
being steadily diminished. This in
crease would be yet more notable if the
crypto-Jews in the ranks would make up
their minds to throw off their disguise.
The striking success Of a processing Jew,
Lieutenant Joseph Miller, D.CM., in
winning commission in regiment at
tached to the Indian army, the Kings
African Rifles, has created a consider
able stir among all Jews in the army,
and is certain to lead to good results
Even judged by the official figures,
the return of 1SS men for the past year
is a decided improvement upon the
numbers of previous years. In 1887
there was a grand total of one reported,
which grew to five in the following year,
and to nineteen in 1892, and just ten
years ago the official return mentioned
that the whole army included forty nine
men of the Jewish faith
There being no authoritative record
kept Of the religion Of officers, it is i'm
possible to be certain of the actual num-
ber Of Jews holding commissions. AS
far as is known, there are at present
forty-two Jewish officers attached to the
Regular army.-Jewish Chronicle.

A Good Story on Andrew Carnegie.

1t is no secret in Pittsburg that Mr..
Carnegie was consulted In the fOrma-
ton of the list of the twenty-eight "un-
defiled" citizens of Greater Pittsburg
whose achievements in the field of
morals and industrial competition
were celebrated last week at the ban
luet of the Pittsburg Chamber Of Com
merce. They do not go far In Pitts
burg until they consult Andy. When Il
list of the possibilities was laid before
him, he called for a blue pencil and be-
gan slashing attack along the whole
line
AS he marked out one name after the
other-so goes the tale. on the author
ity of well-known citizen of Pitsburg
now in New York, familiar with the
facts and friend of Carnegie from
boyhood-the ironmaster chanted I'M
pressiyely from celebrated psalm:
"Who shall stand in the hill of the
Lord?' And off went name.
"And who shall walk in His holy
place." on went another.
He that hath clean hands" More
blue pencil.
"And pure heart" Heavy marking,
which broke the lead.
"Who hath not lifted up his soul TO
vanity" The name Of very promi-
nent person with social aspiration
erased
Nor sworn deceitfully." Pencil ex-
tremely active.
'Hc that putteth not out his money
to usury." Further rapid slashing.
Nor taketh reward against another"
Renewed energy. ..-
Then a name caught his eye. which
hovered grimly over 1t. The pencil
paused at the nomen and prenOmen of
a certain Scotch-American multiml-
lionaire. who has endowed libraries ga
lore, who owns the underlying bonds OF
the model corporation. who would as
soon win money at bridge as In Wall
street. whose only regret is that he did
not sell certain property for twice
what he charged for it. The chanting
of the sacred song went on.
"Who sweareth to his own hurt and
changeth not" But the pencil left
that one name undisturbed. unchal-
lenged; and an expression Of pleasure
fitted over Mr.. Carnegie's counten-
nance, as he broke the chain OF sacred
quotation with the wise observation:
at is wonderful how these ancient
Scriptures can be applied to modern
conditions"
