CHOLERA FIGHTERS IN CLASH
MEANWHILE MANY ARE nvrNc
IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Rabbis Advise Hebrews to Disregard
Fast Of Yom Kippur Because
Of Epidemic.

ST. PETERSBURG. October "A con-
hIct has arisen between Gen. Dracheffsky
project OF st. Petersburg. and the mu-
nicipal sanitary commission over the
premature discharge Of cholera patients
from the city hospitals. As soon as the
attention of the project was called to the
danger of infection from this source he
issued an order that all patients be de-
tanned until the cholera germs had COM
pletely disappeared. The members of the
commission declare this course to be i'm
practicable SO long as the epidemic con-
tinues.
Experiments are being conducted at sew
eral of the hospitals with new anti
named Serimber. but the result so far
has not been conclusive.
The rabbis of st. Petersburg have rec
commended that the Jewish population dis
regard the customary fast of Yom kippur
October because abstinence is favorable
to cholera. This recommendation is said
to be without precedent.
The death Yesterday from cholera Of
NichOlai Pavloff-Silvansky, professor of
meteorology at the institution for higher
learning for women, removes one Of the
most brilliant. Of the younger Russian
historians. He had made q specially Of
the feudal institutions of early Russia
and his books in this field were regarded
as authoritative. The professor also was
head Of the department Of archives at the
foreign Office. He died in twelve hours
itself.
A case Of cholera has been discovered
among the men on guard at the residence

peared to be indubitable proof of relation
ship was offered by the claimant. AS she
left the stand it looked as If there was
nothing for the jury to do but grant the
demand Of $4,000.
Then came the startling climax that
caused the judge and Jury to gasp. The
defendants attorney put an aged woman
on the stand who denounced the claimant
as an impostor. Her evidence was corrob-
GRATED by several depositions.
This witness was Mrs. Catherine Wells
Of Brooklyn, N. Y. She testified that she
