not reply. Cosmopolitan Jew and
Jewish cosmopolitanism are too thin,
too weak. To this moderate perfidy
the answer is too easy. 'Cosmopoli-
tan is the worn-out missile of anti
Samitism. In order to polish up the
somewhat stained phrase it is some
times converted into 'unpatriotic' |
should have thought you would have
been too proud to use it primarily for
reasons of style You know nothing
of my patriotic convictions, and I am
at any rate sure that | am by far not
so disloyal to my country as you and
not few of your Irish compatriots
are towards yours. But what on
earth has cosmopolitanism or patriot
ism to do with Il psychological and
psychiatrical examination of perni-
cious tendencies in art and literature?
You might just as well speak of cos
mopolitan hydraulics and patriotic
anatomy. You are quite the sort of
person to do so. and you do sometimes.
'One of those cosmopolitan Jews who
combat modern culture This sem
tencc is very comprehensive. So there
is number. a group. perhaps tribe
of cosmopolitan Jews who combat
modern culture. 'One of those .
So the cosmopolitan Jew who combats
modern culture is type, known and

meant. To my shame | must confess
that this type, with which you are ap-
parently quite familiar. is completely
unknown to me. The anti-Semites
have hitherto always accused the Jews
of greedily assimilating the culture
which they (the Jews) had not ere
ated, of immoderately revelling in it:
they have accused the Jews of being
intruders or this culture faunters of
it. boasters Of it; they have accused
them of wanting to wrest the leader
ship of this culture for themselves, of
perverting and spelling it through
their unsolicited collaboration. 1t was
left for you to discover those Jews
who combat modern culture With
your leave, good Mr.. Shaw, the jew
cosmopolitan or not, has thousand
reasons for furthering modern culture
with passionate zeal, and not one for
combating it. Every retrogression of
civilization is felt by the Jew in i'll
treatment, robbery and murder, or at
least in the appearance of hostile wri-
ters. Confess. good Mr.. Shaw, that
this can give no pleasure to the Jews,
be they ever so cosmopolitan.
In conclusion, DR.. Nordau warns
Mr.. Shaw that if in twelve years time
the spirit should move him to demol-
ish him again he will not reply. "Life
is to short" he says, "and your arti-
cles are to long"

Next Sunday, August 4th, is the date
of the long awaited picnic of Denver
Lodge No. III, l. O. B. B. All is in
readiness for day of festivities, which
promises well to eclipse all previous eff
forts in this direction. 1t is confidently
boasted by those in charge of the ar
rangements that this affair will be one
unprecedented in the annals Of this
lodges many successful outings. The
arrangements for the sports, contests,
and the many and varied features of the
day are all completed, and very elab
crate presents await those who are to
be the victors. A special feature this
year is the introduction of roller skating
at the picnic grounds Much enthusiasm
is displayed and there no doubt will be
fiery enthusiasm manifested on all sides
on that glorious day. Tickets may be
procured at the depot from the commit
tee: Harry E. Isaacson and Walter
Tishler.
Socially the picnic of the Jewish ALI
ance of Denver held last Sunday at
Crystal Lake was decided success. The
day throughout seemed to be thoroughly
enjoyed and no mishaps occurred to mar
the day, excepting brief spell of rain.
Dancing was INDUCED in all afternoon.
At l o'clock the athletic contests were
held. Harry Blumenthal won pair of
trousers for the standing broad jump.
Ed Penter won hat for the 1OO-yard
dash. Louis Fleischer won box Of ci-
gars for leading in the hop, skip and
jump. The running broad jump was
won by Nathan Charsly, getting a gold
watch fob. In the closely contested
prize waltz Mrs. Leah Bomash won the
ladies prize, a beautiful jeweled gold
ring; and Charles Bomash received the
gentlemen s prize, a handsome grip.
Another of the lady prize winners was
Miss Viola Halpern, who won the ladies
1OO-yard dash, receiving a pretty brooch.
In the morning base ball was played.
In addition to the picnic itself, the trip

abled him to break down the caSt-llOlI
conventions of the City of London
School, one of the most exclusive schol-
astic establishments in the English me-
tropolis, which had until then resolutely
set it's face against the admission of for
eigners.
Mr.. Gordon is no mere academic arm
chair novelist. He was one OF the first
of the present day realists, and Lesser
Destinies' was written after some years
of life in the east end of London. 1t is
a true, not grotesque picture OF the
lives of the humble poor of London,
written by one who has known them for
years in their everyday aspect. Mr..
Gordon is different entirely from those
who claim to be authorities on East Side
conditions on the strength Of an occa-
sional few hours in the district for the
purpose of gathering local color.
But it is as writer of Jewish novels
that Mr.. Gordon is best known, both
here and in England. His graphic pen
pictures of London Jewish society in
the Bayswater district in "Unto Each
Man His Own,' reused the ire Of that
section of the Anglo-Jewish community
which considers that it is the bounden
duty of novelist Of their faith merely
to praise them, and the book was boy
cotted In "The Sons of a Covenant, -
however, an earlier work, Mr.. Gordon
depicted phases Of life and character
which reused their warmest admira
ton The book is favorite birthday
gift to Hebrew boys, and in that respect
is regarded as a standard Jewish novel.
The scheme for the regeneration of the
East End propounded in the book was a
fruitful topic for discussion among Lon,
don Jewish debating societies, and Mr..
Gordon's s work received official recogni-
ton by dinner to which the Macca-
beans entertained him. On that occa-
sion it was stated that the two boyish he
roes in the work were the author and his
brother, Mr. H. H. Gordon, prominent
municipal politician in London. In
deed the two were said to call them
selves by the names Of the brothers in
the book
The intense realism in Mr.. Gordon s
Russo-Jewish stories, in which he has
done his very best work, is due to the
authors actual acquaintance with the
bitter conditions Of existence in the Pale
of Settlement. He has Travelled eXten-
sively in Russia, and also in Galica on
the borderland of the Czars domains.
His vivid portrayal of the hard life Of
his bureaucratic ridden brethren in Rus
sia, so relentlessly and wonderfully
drawn in ''The Ferry Of Fate" have
gained for Mr. Gordon the sobriquet Of
the Jewish Maxim Cork: the well

alone In the cemetery"
The details Of the marriage are usu-

the father-in-law the more bands. At
the head Of the procession a red flag
is carried 'in order to show the soul

AN&<&SS(:


In no other town than Dublin Is the
traveller so impressed by the fact that
the public vehicles are really servants
of the public. A writer in Macmillan
Magazine declares that in Dublin are
a people who refuse to be dictated to.
No white posts, registered stopping
places, are considered. Passengers get
in where they will and out where they
will.
Occasionally, of course, conductors,

necessary to hurry the leisurely pedes-

tically into the car, but his urging is
always resented.
One evening an old danes feelings
proved too much for her. She hailed
the car too late; we had passed, and
by the time we pulled up she was sew

She was becomingly arrayed, l re-
member, in spotlessly white mob cap
and blue check apron, that covered
her ample petticoat to the very hem.
She had a big basket on her arm, and
came trundling after the car in q very
aggrieved fashion.
Perhaps the conductor was in nur-
ry; perhaps he thought her pace I'M
necessarily slow at any rate, he clang-
ed the bell vociferously.
Jerking her basket on to the foot
board and catching the brass rail in
one hand, she stood ON the road and
treated him to flood Of eloquence,
while he tried vainly to make her eth
er enter the car or release her hold.
The driver was growing impatient, and
the other occupants were SO openly
amused that the conductor lost his tenn
per.

Numbered.
''Get on? What else would be do

smile that embraced the entire COM

With the stock of food fish in the
United States growing less each year
the proposal Of the American Fisheries
Society, made at its meeting at Erie,
chat control over the rivers and lakes
be given to the Federal government, is
matter Of timely interest, says the
Philadelphia Record.
"Shad in the Delaware are less plen-
tiful than ever, and the record of other
rivers where they once abounded Is
the same" said an old fisherman the
other day. complaint is rife from the
Potomac to the Connecticut. The de-
pletion Of the great lakes is deploraDle.
They are growing less and less capable
Of furnishing their former supply OF
fish.
"Of course the extension of Federal
control is not popular, but there seems
to be no other way Of meeting the sit
uation. Where a river, as the Della
ware, flows between two States neither
has absolute Jurisdiction, and laws
rarely dovetail so as to effect super

Victor Lablanche owed his unnrece.
denied success largely to the fact that he
never permitted anybody to share his
discoveries in the field of crime. If
ever he found out anything remarkable
he never suffered the slightest hint of #
to cross his lips. He reserved it for a
grand coup when the crisis of the case
should be reached. And these surprises
which invariably enhanced his reputation
as a shrewd officer, were generally eff
fected through the exercise of the most
searching Investigations of the locality
