Jewish boys were not so common there

my schoOl-fellows. / was asked one
day: "Do you know that all you Jews

hell. "Not believe in hell Then

replied. "But," urged my schoolfel-

New YORK.

A published account today has it
dered that no hymn or carol in any
way mentioning Christ or Christmas
shall be sung henceforth in the public
schools of New York.
The order is contained in instruc-
tions given by Frank r. Rix, general
musical director, to all the teachers
under him, that pupils must not be
permitted to sing songs containing
any words or phrases accentuating
religious significance. Not only this,
but it is learned that the song books
in use in the high schools are now in
the hands of printers for revision, so
that they may be free from all sec
tartan reference, even the words
Christ and "Christmas' being
eliminated.
The decision of the board is the re-
suit of agitation year ago by Jews,
deputation of whom appeared be-
fore the board and complained that
the Christian festival, as celebrated in
the schools, was essentially sectarian.
No action was taken at the time, but
the matter was referred to the COM
mittee on elementary schools, the
chairman of which is Abraham Stein.
That committee reported recently in
favor of eliminating all sectarian
mention in the song books and the
board adopted the report.

]. H. Levy on "Hell"

The threat of hell has no terrors for
me. But l acknowledge that, accord
ing to our orthodox Christian scheme,
| am bound to go there. On Good Fri
day, our Anglican friends pray for
the conversion of the Jews, Turks, in
fidels and heretics; with hint that.
if they do not become converted, they
will certainly pay an endlessly pro-
tracted visit to certain place with
an uncomfortably warm climate. Now.
l am not Turk, but 1 am afraid that
1 am all the three other bad people
rolled into one-a sort of trinity Of
anti Theological depravity. 1t would
therefore appear that if anybody is
to go to hell, I shall do so. I learnt
this fact very early in life. In 1852,
I was at the City of London school.

That which we adore and take as our

times, however, this tendency is not
realized. The belief may be merely
verbal, and the worship a sham. Peo-
pie often profess belief which their

far inferior to their own practical
ideal Of life. We are often saved from
hardness of heart by softness of an.

hell has become with a large number
of persons; but let us not forget that.

the fires of the Inquisition and created

the flames of this hell have not been
entirely extinguished and are smoul-

ger to mankind is the reason why am

deavoring to purge man of the Satanic
in his disposition, and to Danish hell

MYSTERY IN DEATH OF BOY.
Harry GiIroy Found Killed on Tracks
Near Vinton.

Vinton.-Mystery surrounds the
death of Harry Gilroy, a blind boy liv-
ing at Ottumwe and student of the
Iowa College for the Blind, who was
found dead near the Rock Island
tracks with rope around his neck
and large stones in his pockets. The
report that the lad was run down by a
freight train is not believed in some
quarters and foul play is feared.
The boy, who is but IL years old, set
out In company with Don Martin and
Walter McCune, aged and IA years
respectively, about dusk with the
avowed determination to run away
from school. Immediate search was
started for the trio, but to no avail.
At 1 o'clock a. m. Martin and Nc.
Cune, who are totally blind, were
found out three miles wandering aim
lessly, lost and half frozen. They
were returned to the institution and
upon their information searchers were
sent out along the Rock Island track
where the body Of their little comrade
was found.
The popularity about the affair is
the fact that the dead boys body was
found with rope around his neck and
large stones in his pockets. This can.
not be accounted for and an investiga.
ton is being made.

TO FIGHT RATE REDUCTION.
Railways Plan to Oppose Legislation
In Iowa,

Chicago-The 2-cent rate agitation
In Iowa caused conference here be-
tween the attorneys and general pas
senger agents Of the Iowa roads. It
was determined to send a delegation
to the legislature next Friday and try
to defeat the measure.
If 2-cent law is passed there is
little doubt that 1T will be combatted
In the federal court. If 21s-cent
bill goes through, there may not be
opposition.
Railroad attorneys have about come
to the conclusion that it is better to
let the rate reduction agitation go on
unopposed and then to attack the law
in the federal courts upon the grounds
that the legislation affects interstate
traffic in that it pulls down the rates
into adjoining states.
