BlOomfOntein. - A correspondent
writes, under date November oath:
The elections for the first representa-
tive government under the new con-
stitution have taken place during the
past week. Unusual interest was
taken in the proceedings by the Jew
ish community in the city. owing to
the fact that their president was one
of the candidates. -Four out of the
five constitutional candidates were
elected, Mr.. w. Ehrlich easily beating
his two rivals by great majority over
the whole of the other votes combined.
The Fort division thus showed its pre-
ference for and confidence in Mr..
Ehrlich. whose commercial qualifica-
tions. intelligence, education, and
public services stood him in good
stead. Attacks had been made upon
Mr.. Ehrlich and some Jewish town
councillors during the municipal elec-
tions. which were calculated to stir up
racial prejudice and anti-Semitism.
The whole Jewish community and the
best of the general body of residents
sympathized with Mr.. Ehrlich, and
the result of the poll demonstrated
the popular esteem in which Mr.. Ehr-
Itch is held. He has endeared himself
to all classes by his many acts of dis
interested charity and other good and
useful work. Mr. Ehrlich, in his cam
paign, was enthusiastically and mate
rally assisted, as he is in all good
works. by his wife, who is no less pop
ular than her husband among all sec
tiOns of the community.
Kimberley.-Mr. William Sager has
been reelected mayor of Kimberley
for the third time.

Of sailing and fixing up these heads
belongs to the Jews. Foreign writers
have frequently tried to connect the
operation with the very name of the
Moorish ghefto-the 'Mellah "a
presumption which was liable to be
disputed, if not conclusively refuted.
There were three heads to fix over the
gateway, and two Jews were ordered
to effect the operation. The two Jews
fatty refused. They were marched
off to prison but were released few
hours later. Two MoOrs were then or
dered to do the CHASTITY work and they
obeyed. Next day fourth head ar
rived. The governor commanded that
the operation should be performed by
two persons, a Jew and a Moor. The
command was obeyed. The heads are
being taken down for transmission to
the Sultan at Rabat. To enable this
to be done they have to be ''cam-
phored. The Jews were asked to
perform this operation, but they
begged to be excused, and two Moors
are doing the "camphoring.'

For the first time in the annals OF

of human heads crowning it's princi

''trophies" of the ''war" that is pro-
ceeding between Kaid Anfloos and the
forces of Mouley Hafid. Surely, a
CHASTITY spectacle, of which our town
need not be proud. There is an ele-
ment of peculiar interest to Jews in
this matter. Tradition has it-and

added, "we shall compel you to go
abroad"
The military authorities have de-
cided to allow the Jewish soldiers to
rest on the eve of the important ma
tional holidays, as well as on the jew

A VladivOstok telegram to a Mos

been ordered to leave the town within
four days, except the land and house
owners, who are allowed eighteen days
in which to wind up their affairs.
JeWish Students ErpeUed.-The

and are forbidden, so long as martial

ther expulsory rescript, whereby all

attending the higher course of uni

prived of the right of domicile in the

gether about 800 university students
were implicated in the recent political
disturbances, but there is nothing in
the reports of the examining magis-
trates to show that the trouble was en-
gineered or provoked exclusively by
the Jewish elements of both sexes
among the students. The university
remains closed.
