Paris, having equaled the best Of his ac-

OF the most difficult and dangerous of
Alpine peaks, Mont Cervin The feat, in

line. and much more SO for women.
In her narrative of the performance,
while she confesses TO no feeling of lack
Of courage she tested her nerve in the
most strenuous manner As a prepare
ton, she read Whymper's book on the
Matterhorn. which wildly describes the
fearful CULTS, the precipices. and other
terrors of that famous mount Further
more, she went to the museum and in
spected, among other relies, rich and sad
associations Of disastrous climbs, the
broken cord that told the tale Of the fear
full catastrophe of Lord Douglass and his
companions in 1868.
As these reminders OF q possible fate die
not affect her determination, she made
the needed arrangements of outfit and
guides, two Of whom accompanied her.
It was harG, serious work. but she fall
tered at nothing, her enthusiasm growing
with every step Of the ascent Finally
the top was reached after five hours
labor. The brave woman felt double
pride in her achievement First, she had
succeeded in her task, and also in show
ing that the ability to perform great feats

After they and their baggage had
been searched. they were found 10 be
innocent Of the charge, and liberated.
The Americans left Lucerne at once

in a hotel there when they were again
arrested on the same charge and taken
to prison in spite of their protests. one
OF them was kept IN Zurich while the
other was taken under police escort
back to Lucerne for a new inquiry
The American consuls in these towns
protested. two bank managers assured
the police that the prisoners were of
Sood family, and had practically I'M

on, but still the police were suspicious.
At the second irquiry nothing more
was proved, and the Americans were
again liberated, with abject apologies

gized profusely, and dismissed the de-
tective who brought the false charge.
II is stated that the Americans will

JEW ASSAlLS JEWS
LfTdOn Writer Finds Fault

GAUDY IN CLOTHES, HE SAYS
Alleges that a Large Portion of the
Hebrews I'm that City Create n
Feeling of Disgust I'm Refined Mem
bers OF Their Race-Paints Vivid
Picture to Which He Excepts.

London Aug. I.-A- remarkable attack
on the vulgar and ostentatious type of
Jew is made by a member Of the Jewish
community in a letter published in the
current issue Of the Jewish Chronicle
This objectionable type. the writer says.
is responsible for most, If not all, the
anti-Jewish feeling which exists in this
country.
The following are excerpts from the let
ter:
All respectable members Of the Jewish
community should be grateful TO An
raslus' for so straightforwardly opening
a discussion on the vulgarity and osten-
tation exhibited by d large section of our
people-qualities to which most, if not
all. of the anti-Jewish feeling that exists
in this country is due Whatever be the
cause of these OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
racial or Otherwise-they are certainly
most Objectionable.
Look around certain districts of the
East End-notably Whitechapel and Aid
gate-and see hOTdes of Jewesses with
their gaudy and hideous costumes, their
enormous and gTuesome hats, their plen-
tiful supply OF mock jewelry-to see them
is to be overcome by a sense of nausea
This type is not confined to the districts
named. but it u be found also in the sub
urbs and West End-in the latter case real
jewelry being substituted for imitation.
Excoriates Male "SyveiIs.s
Now. for the Jewish young man Who
doesn't know the type which will only
wear the very latest style in clothes. the
latest-shaped hat. the latest tie, the latest
cane-the creature that wears the gaudiest
Of cOlOred waistcoats, who walks with
elbows stuck out, ostentatiously putting a
fat cigar, occupying as much Of the pave
ment as he can, and speaking as loudly
as possible, with the thickest voice and
the most Objectionable. slovenly, and vul-
gar enunciation
The pOmposity and conceit of this type,
coupled with their appalling ignorance is
simply overwhelming They send a shud-
der through the frame Of all feIlow-Jews
with the least suspicion OF refinement.
This type of Jew is, unfortunately,
plentiful He pervades-and disgraces-
all classes of the community He is quite
as much III evidence in Throckm0rton
street as in Aldgate and Whitechapel You
will find him playing the aristocrat in

garities Of the aristOcrat, for the vulgari-
ties alone attract him"
