100000 Jews in the American metropolis,

history Of this ancient race. We are told
that the children Of Israel, at the time
of their entrance into Egypt, numbered
seventy souls and that little over two
centuries afterward they numbered 6OO,

Draws DER the sea-that desert desolate-
These 1shmaels and Hagars of mankind?"
-Longfellow.
Let me ask you to exercise the power
of your imagination, and, turning the
scroll Of time backward, come with me
to the little Dutch colony of New Am
sterdam. 1t is the early fall of the year
1854. The narrow island Of Manhattan
does not betray any signs that it is des
tined to become the greatest city OF the
Western Hemisphere. A few narrow
streets with their quaint cottages stu
ated at the southern point OF the island
constitute the village. On that autumn
day the observer could notice some sign
Of activity in the quiet settlement. A
vessel is expected from Brazilian event
which always attracts the phlegmatic
burghers to the harbor. The craft is
rapidly approaching so that the name
est. Catrina" is now discernible. The
landing has taken place. Greetings and
welcomes are eager y exchanged. How
ever there is a group OF passengers who
still remain on board. What manner Of
people are these who seem so friendless
and forlorn? A rumor passes from
IlOuIu W llOuIH IHdG Iucy are Jews,
driven by "Christian hate" from Brazil
who now seek refuge in the Dutch col
ony. But why are they not allowed to
land? Is there no one to utter a friendly
word to these exiles? The fugitives from
the threatening hand Of the Inquisition,
who left their former homes in great
haste, are too poor to pay their passage.
The master Of the vessel demands his
pay and so their goods are seized and
sold at public auction. But, alas, the
proceeds of the sale are insufficient to
cover the full amount. The two leading
men of the party are therefore 'placed
in confinement until the account be
paid,' and only then are the strangers
allowed to disembark.
Thus was the advent Of the first Jew
ish settlers within the limits of what is
now the United States. What hope for
success could this little band of exiles
harbor in their breasts? Poor in worldly
goods, few in numbers, separated from
the rest Of their brethren by the vast
ocean and from their immediate neigh
bors by vaster barriers Of prejudice and
hatred, these Jewish pioneers had but
meagre chances for thriving. Their very
existence in the colony was constantly
menaced by the narrow minded Dutch
governor, Peter Stuyvesant, who wrote
to the directors Of the company in Am.
sterdam, requesting that "none of the

The cocart Should Go.

in the New York Press. No man or

crime to make infants sit up ten hours

COMPLICATED CASE.
Both Sides Seemed to Have the Law

Occasion.

Problems worthy of Solomon's acu-
men are often submitted to these ru-
raj arbitrators, justices of the peace.
In the Macon county (Mo) archives
is a case of this sort:
Timothy Kahn, farmer of Easley
township, set out some watermelon

Gov Warner said at the state fair
grounds Wednesday that he has decid-
ed to postpone corvening the legisla-
ture in special session until Monday,

to convene it October 1. The reason
for the postponement is so he can ac-

company him on his trip down the
Mississippi river the first week in Oc-
tober. The constitutional convention
must by law convene in Representa-

the legislature must finish its work

tutional delegates, and that the lower
peninsula members will be able to
draw but Is days pay. or $45, instead
OF $50, and the u. Z. members SIS,

sees no reason why the legislators

A Wild, Weird Tale.

Fritz Troxler, Swiss peasant, who
came to Hagerstown from Baltimore
recently and was employed by various
building contractors, rushed into po-
lice headquarters and declared to the
policemen that he had heard OF q plot
TO kill President Roosevelt. He said
he was member of a secret society,
organized to counterfeit the influence
Of the anarchists. TroXler who came
to America from Switzerland seven
teen months ago, spoke very little
English. A German interpreter after
conversing with Troxler, gave his opin-
ion that Troxler was sane. Troxler
took the officers TO his boarding house
and showed them a lot of documents,
including a card containing the name
of dealer in fire arms. He said the
persons who threatened the presidents
life purchased their weapons from this
firm. Justice Hartle later dismissed
TroXler who was locked in a cell for
the balance of the night Troxler
told Justice Hartle that in Baltimore,
while seated at a table in a restaurant
he overheard a German and a Russian
discussing a plan to kill President
Roosevelt. The officers regard the
Swiss as slightly deranged.

After Many Years. a Murder.

Wexford county's record of having
not had one murder in nearly thirty

right. 1t was found that the knife
supposed to have been in the hands
OF Miner had penetrated Cartright's
lung to a considerable depth. Cart
right had been unconscious most of
the time since he was injured. Cart.
right refused to make any statement
to the officers. Miner declares that
while the men were terribly incensed
against each other, that the stabbing
was wholly accidental and was caused
by Cartright falling over on the knife
in Miners hands. Miner had been whit
Ting. In the fracas Miner was thrown
to the ground on his back and Cart
right was on top when the stabbing
took place.
A young boy in the village of Yuma
has told an official that he saw the
fight. that Miner was underneath and
in the struggle reached up and
stabbed Cartright. Justice Benbow, of
Yuma, has added weight to this story.
He asserts that Miner came to him
soon after the stabbing and said Cart
right had choked him and that he,
Miner, was too old man to be choked,
so he raised his knife against Cart
right, intending to prick him enough
to make Cartright let h,m up.

A Definition of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the opponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense OF
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed of
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
lion, have written q great many hooks
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac.,
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result of
heir labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.
