The Jewish school was founded five
years ago, when it was patent to some
of the members Of the community that
such an establishment was an absolute
necessity. The children had increased,
but they had no means Of obtaining re-
ligious instruction, and to enter the To-
cal schools for secular education meant
an expenditure too great for the parents
to bear. A meeting was held and it was
decided to begin with Talmud Torah
class. The work was carried on in the
synagogue, "Shearith Israel" where six
boys were taught. Later on, elemen-
tary English classes were introduced by
the aid Of generous ladies who came
forward and volunteered to teach, and
but for them nothing could have been

The Messidor, the new Republican

Mgr. Montagnin, former secretary Of

Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of

and describes Protestants and Jews as
most discontented over the separation of
church and state, because it deprives
them Of the official status, on which they
had set much store.
Certain Jewish fnanciers, it declares,
had dared to say that after having made
the republic they did not enjoy those
privileges they had a right to expect.
In addition, their material interest was

The attention Of the government has

thousands Of Jewish families in the

of wholesale anti-Jewish attacks during

Jewish organizations to allay this panic
have been fruitless
At meeting of the Union Of the Rus

solved to demonstrate at Easter time, es-
pecially in localities where the Jews are
numerous, and, if the authorities inter-
fere, to start anti-Jewish attacks. The

AMAZING LUXURY OF "A WORK.

s1,3oo,ooo.

London, May 10.-Although nearly
all classes of Englishmen would ap-
pear to be reveling in the grievances
that are daily being voiced through
out the land, it cannot be said that
there is any lack of solicitude for the
welfare of the British pauper, whose
lot, unlike that of the Gilbert and Sui
livan policeman, would seem to be far
from unhappy.
This fact has been strikingly evi-
denced in recent months as a result
of the Investigations conducted by the
local government board in the matter
of the poor law expenditures, but
Thursday it reached point of sheer
amazement during an inquiry, at the
instance of the Rate Payers associa-
ton, into the cost of the new work
house and infirmary in the London
borough of Halmersmith. It devel-
oped that this workhouse, in many de-
tails was equal if not superior to any
noblemans mansion and that it could
vie with the most expensive hotel.
The entrance to the building is be-
