service, in the state departments, and
in the city council here in our own
Hattiesburg.
The Jew belongs to no nationality.
He is Jew only because Of his re-
ligion-and this country cannot dis
criminate between its citizens be-
cause of their religious beliefs.
The resolution mentions the RUS
sian Jew"-not the Russian, but the
Russian Jew" Note the distinction,
and bear in mind that the term Jew
is religious in its every significance.
Hattiesburg has very few Jews, but
majority of those who have thus far
cast their lot among us are excellent
citizens, hence the Daily News re
grets exceedingly that this question
should have arisen at this time.
Expressions from a majority of the
members of the city council indicate
that the resolution of the school board
will be tabled Immediately and unani
mously, and that Superintendent
Woodley and the members, Of thu
school faculty. will have to seek an
other solution to the seeming lacl
of discipline which has resulted Il
undue publicity to an unfortunate
occurrence.

A similar action may
be expected from Bohemia, and the
German element will clamor to be
united to the German Empire. 1t mas
made similar demand at the close
of the Franco-Prussian war when the
title of Emperor of Germany passed
from Austria to Prussia.
Thus the old House of Hapsburg
will pass away. But it is very doubt
full if these changes will be made
peaeeably. The acquisition of Aus
trian Germany by the German EN-
pire will disturb the balance Of power
and France will demand guild pro
quo. Then again, the Balkan States,
SO long source of unrest, have been
kept at peace by the Austrian EN-
pire It's dissolution will be followed
by grave disturbances in Servia,
Bosnia and Monte Negro, SO that Tur-
key will be drawn into the whirlpool.
This would AFFORD the long sought op-
portunity for Russia, but the Pan
slavistic doctrine cs.nnot be promoted
at present owing t. Russia's internal
condition. still, there is a possibility
that this opportunity may unite the
several factions of the Russian EN-
pire and be Of rsaterial assistance t.
the Gar.
At any rate, trouble is sure to come
There will be a re-alignment and tina
does not pass without war.

Ietty Green says that she would
disown her son were he to marry
some foreign damsel just for the sake
of title. Perhaps so, but we have
a sneaking suspicion that the price
would have something to do with
Aunt Hettie's attitude in the matter.
In her rather contracted view of the
world she can't quite understand why
a man shouldn't hug dollar closer

A Delicate Question

The board of trustees of the Hat
tiesburg public schools has asked the
city council to create separate
school for "Dagoes, ltaliaus,
Syrians and Russian Jews" and Of
fetal action will be taken on the res
olution at a meeting of the council
to be held tomorrow evening.
The animus of the resolution passed
by the school board seems to have
IN a disagreement among the pu-
u.s. eliminating in a childish row
and the chastisement of boy stu
dl(ent who happened to be of Russian
deS1 bent and Jewish religion.
be matter was discussed at a
meeting of the school board held Fri
day evening, when it is understood
that fseveral individual members Wig
orou$ly opposed the passage of the
restolution above mentioned, but a
majority favored the action and it
became a matter of record.
While the Daily News is inclined to
the opinion that the school board
acted hastily, and that majority of
the excellent gentlemen who compose
that body have since realized their
error, it is perhaps not amiss to dis
cuss the question in some Of its
phases.
Under the law and the constitution
IL Is exceedingly doubtful If there is
authority to discriminate between the
children Of any particular branch Of
the Anglo Saxon race in the public
white schools of the country.
s.15agoes' are undesirable as 9
class. and as the lower stata Of the
italian race, they would not be ad
uitted to respectable society, among
even the better element of their owl
people. While few of the bette
class of Italians find their way to this
country, we all know that there ar,
good Italians, and that race dis
elimination such as the resolution o
the school board would imply is al
cbsurdity.
Syrians are few in this country
They are usually harmless creature
who never try to obtrude themselve
IN our society, and it is seldom tina
they are encountered in the publ
schools.
Just why the Russian Jew" shout

Of undesirable citizens" is quite BIZ

ments, demand immediate attention
and cannot be neglected. Conse-
quently Hattiesburg was compelled to
give it's attention to the useful rather
than to the ornamental.
Thanks to the spontaneous and
patriotic efforts Of the Daughters of
the Confederacy, the park question
has been placed squarely before the
council and citizens and there is little
doubt that the vsEya liberal offer of
our public-spirited ladies' will be ac-
cepted. Although to some extent a
park is an ornamental part of city
in SO much as that it adds materially
to its attractions, its usefulness is
too well established to need discus
sion. In our own. case moreover, its
beneficial influences can be mater
tally enhanced
We know what our soil will pro-
duce under proper fertilizing. When
the city obtains possesisonof the 40
acres, why should not ten, or at least
five Of them, be set apart for ex-
periments with shrubs and vegetables
as yet not cultivated in Mississippi?
The expense will be. trifling especial
ly when compared with the results
Such experiments, besides, would
add to the beauty of the park, and
attract visitors from this and other
states. Here is an opportunity for
some novel advertising which must be
of material assistance to our growth.

at greater length as opptrunity Of

QUEER BOSTON
M|SER STOPS
MAKING MONEY

Boston, Dec T.-Benjamin Hadley, an
eccentric millionaire, died yesterday at
his home i'm East Somervile, OF old age.
He was 80 years old and never was mar
ried
He was born In Somerville. and only on
one occasion did he ever travel beyond
the greater Boston district He never
joined any kind of organization, never
had his life insured. never purchased a
ticket for any sort OF entertainment,
never ate a meal In a hotel or restaurant,
and did not spend more than 81 In his en-
tire life for car fare. He had not voted for
40 years. He wore a collar and cravat only
on special occasions. He accumulated real
estate valued at sl.6oo.0oo.
Hadley was born In hut barely big
enough 10 stand In. He began work at
Nathan Tufts for IL cents a day, and IL is
said that none OF the pennies ever got
away. Next he engaged with the Boston
and Lowell Railroad, driving an OK team
for IS a month and his board. II is said
the board consisted OF salt Goldfish and
water. He slept In a barn.
When his father died BENJAMIN had
saved enough to buy out the shares OF
his two brothers and one sister in the
to the land in Somerville until he was
able to sell 1t at a large profit. With part
OF the money he bought five acres of
clay land and began the manufacture OF
bricks. Then he branched into other lines
OF business. in all OF which he prospered.
There is one item at least on the un-
selfish side of Mr.. Hadleys ledger OF life,
namely. gift some years ago of $40
toward the building of the Universalist
meeting house in 6omerville. He never at
tended that church nor any other.
year ago he estimated his lifetime ex-
penditure for car fares at 81. He had not
been I'm a barber shop for 10 years. and
for 90 years he had let his beard grow to
save the time needed for shaving. He
never bought q drink of liquor, though he
would drink II some one gave II TO him.
II he had cold. Twenty years ago he
cut of the luxury OF smoking. saying he
saved 10 cents a week.

ORUcE WITNESS
DENOUNCED IN
BRITISH COURT

London, Dec. 1.-THE dramatic disap-
pearance from London OF Robert &. Cald-
well, the American witness in the Druce
case, served to revive interest in the pro-
ceedings, and when the hearing was re-

crowded.
At the hearing last Friday Mr.. Ather-
Iey-Jones announced that the prosecution
had decided not TO rely upon any evil
dence given by Caldwell and the day fol-
lowing IL was discovered that Caldwell
had suddenly left London, presumably
for America.

the testimony Of Caldwell as having been
discredited on certain points and that
therefore all his evidence should be oblit-

Atherlcy-Jones said that Caldwell's story
OF this occurrence could not be accepted.
He also intimated his belief that Horace
Avory, counsel for the defence, had es-
tablished his contention that Caldwell and
his alleged brother were one and the same
person.
Mr.. Avory. in opening for the defence
denounced Caldwell as the most noxious
perjurer who ever has polluted the foun.

Charles Dickens would have lent himself
to the intrigue OF keeping UP the delu-
sion OF the dual personality OF the Duke
OF Portland. and he declared Miss Mary
Robinson. who testified that she knew 7.
c. Druce as the Duke OF Portland, TO be

prove that part OF her testimony was
false.
