The Old Ghetto in Prague

The old Ghetto in Prague is rap
idly disappearing. In the street for
mcrly called the 'Small Pinkas-
gasse.' all the old houses are being
demolished, a new street is being
built in its place, and IA small public
park has been laid out. The aspect
of the Crosse Pinkasgassc. as that
part of the 'Josephsstedter Gassc'
is called. which leads from the "Rab-
biner Gasse' to the 'Karpfcn
Gasse.'' is also going to be greatly
embellished by the rebuilding OF all
the old houses. This will clear the
PinkaSs synagogue. which until the
demolition of the houses had com-
menced. was in a courtyard of one
of them. and the surrounding quar-
tcrS owe its name to this cdificc. Ac-
cording to tradition this synagogue
was founded in the thirteenth c.n-
tury. certainly not later than the year
1890. and Pinkas Ilorwitz is said to
have been its builder. In the course
of the centuries this synagogue was
rebuilt several times. the last time in
the year 1862 In its interior is found
beautiful lattice work of wro lyht
iron with the arms of Joachim Won
Pepper who had been ennObled by
Emperor Josef II in the year 1892.
There is also conserved in it an old
robe which is supposed to have be-
longed to Rabbi Solomon Molch who,
after having been baptized. turned
Jew again. and in the year 1892 was
burned in Italy at the stake as an

But what cared Zola for all that

his duty and the only thanks he re-
quires of posterity is the recognition
of his unselfish motive
And let us not minimize the far
reaching effect of his splendid fight
for justice and truth.
The Drcyfus ease. as much as the
notorious blood-acc,lsation was the
most ambitious attempt made to vilify
the entire Jewish race in modern
times.
Had Drcyflls remained under the
odiOlis stigma of treason. the enemies
of enlightenment would nave vented
their spleen upon the whole Jewish
race and the consequence would have
been terrible.
The unblushing intolerance of Rus

latent anti-Semitism of Germany and
Austria would have received a pow

Happily. lola lived to see the tri-
umphs of the noble cause which he
had so bravcly csporlscd and mainly
to his unsclfish endeavors must be
ascribed the gradual decline of anti
Semitism in France and the removal
of that foul spot from the escutcheon
of the fair land of liberty. equality
and fraternity.

his compatriots have not yet realized
what Il true patriot-in the highest
sense of the word-Zola was to
France: they still prefer to lend their
ear to the false prophets of Chauvin-

fast dragging their country down to
perdition.
But the time will come when
Frenchmen will appreciate Zola at
his true worth and in the meantime
mankind has already placed the triple
crown of patriotism, prophecy and
martyrdom upon his head.
Especially in the Book of Memorial
of the Jewish race his name will ever
remain immortal as that of the man
who renounced country. popularity

who braved a passionate nation s fury

Drugs are generally supposed to be
":bad things" just why this is true
most people do not know. Probably be-
cause all prescriptions are written in
Latin and because the public at large
does not have its curiosity gratifed in
knowing just what they are getting in
the physicians order Assuming it to
be fact that drugs are dangerous
things, one should be-, very particular
to puchase only from an established
concern and one that is fully respon-
sible. Such one is conducted by Fl.
S. Myers. Mr. Myers has been estab-
lished in the drug business in this city
for the past five years and has gained
very influential and desirable patron
age. He, has very neatly arranged
store which is equipped with modern
fixtures and stocked with an excel
lent assortment of drugs, chemicals,
patent medicines, toilet articles, physi-
clans supplies and sundries and every
thing which goes to make up a first
class pharmacy. It is to the prescrip-
tion department that special attention
is called to-, for this department he has
made a speciality Of. In compromising
physicians prescription nothing but the
very best grade of medicine is used
Competent help is employed and calls
are answered day and night. Stores of
the calibre which Mr.. Myers conducts
| are credit to the city.

it is the plumbing and heating, for

that the plumbing is defective or
that the heating plant is unsatis-
factory. It always costs more to
correct mistakes in this class of
work than it does to have it done
right in the start. Aside from this
