rapid increase in the Jewish population Of
Boston was the dedication yesterday of a
magnificent new synagogue located in the
Fenway, in the midst of what is fast be-
coming the quarter of wealthy and aristoc-

organized fifty years ago. when there were
about a dozen families of the Jewish faith
in Boston and vicinity. The present He

Parker Says He Never Again Wants
Public Office,

PORTLAND, Me-. September I'm an in
terview last night Judge Alton B. Parker
Of New York, said:
x saw In a Boston newspaper Of this
morning that ex-Gov. Campbell of Ohio said
he had verified in New York the fact that
1 am possessed of the conviction that 1
shall again be nominated for the presi-
dency Nevertheless, do not believe that
he ever said so. In any event. he did not
verify any such fact, nor could he, for 1t
is not true.
Il do not desire ever again to hold pub
lie office. 1 stated my position on that
subject the day after election in 1904. and
I have not changed my mind. 1 SHALL how
ever. Always be interested in any question
affecting the public welfare. and propose
to express my views whenever 1t seems to
me desirable. And 1t may as well be un-
derstood that 1 shall not be deferred in
the slightest degree from doing SO by mis-

LITTLE ANIMALS IN PARADE
GENTRY BROS SHOW ON PUBLIC
THoRoUaHFAREs
foung America, in Large Numbers,
Attracted Thereby-Ffrst Per-
formance This Afternoon.

, With special reception by the animals
yesterday and gorgeous parade this
morning TO Increase their interest and their
appetltes for amusement and excitement
hundreds OF juvenile Washington!ans were
on the qui vive this afternoon for the OPEN
ing or the weeks entertainment by the
Gentry Brothers Shows. The first exhi.
bitfon by the animals began at . O'Clock
today, and reports from the show grounds
at 10th and U streets northwest were to
the effect that banner crowd was in at
tendance. Still more youngsters show radi-
ant faces about town today as the result
of parental promises that they will be per-
mitted to stay up hate and see the show in
one of its evening performances
The parade this morning left the 10th
and U streets grounds at 10 o'clock. and 1t
followed the t!me-honored route of all pa
radeS down historic Pennsylvania avenue,
BY actual count, l.223 boys added gayety
to the occasion by following the monkey
cages. the band wagons the elephants. the
trained dogs-and this count was taken
soon after the parade started. According
to the arithmetical progression by which
crowds grow when parade is in progress,
it is probable all the boys in town were
trailing the human and animal performers
when 1t started on the return trip to the
show grounds.
Like Big Shows.
In everything except length and gorgeous
ness the parade of Gentry Brothers shows
was in miniature of the big parades OF
other shows. Instead of great chariots
there were tiny chariots. and little animal
wagons took the place of big animal
wagons, while the 200 or more Shetland
ponies, which furnished motive power for
the vehicles, added the touch nee assary to
complete the picture. Waco, the baby
camel. the only of his Kind born
in captivity, was a center of attraction as
he trotted beside his mother a,ong the
line of march.
AS soon as the tents We're up yesterday
and the various stands were in place, the
animal performers held a reception for the
benefit of their frends-the children. TIE
reception was free to all who chose 10 visit
the grounds, and the hours originally s. iec.-
fed. = to in the afternoon, were stretched
by the MeSsrs. Gentry, and then stretched
again. and it was after I O'Clock VIII
the tents finally cleared. 1t was esti-
mated that between 1909 and 5000 per-
sons took part in the reception.

fight is carried on by horsemen at full

The country south OF a line drawn from
Fez to Rabat is for the most part very

large number Of dead sea turtles in Chesa-
