Russia Driving Jews from Cities

sentiments will not allow them to
side with the government.
"The Jews of Vladivostok are
mainly prosperous business men.
They have made that city what it is,
and have become well off. If it Is
necessary for them to leave Russia
they would make most desirable
Americans. But Russian Jews will
not long remain the meek subjects
the Car would like to have them.
His present course can have only one
rcsult-to drive them by thousands
into the revolutionary movements
The edict in regard to the eXpul-
sion of the Jews from VladivOstok
which probably will be followed by
their expulsion from the other places
mentioned. marks a new era in the
persecution to which they have been
subjected in the Cars domain.
MORE ATROCITIES EXPECTED.
The order for expulsion. it is said
by the Jews. will be followed by
atrocities such as stirred the world
II few years ago. How drastic will
be the order of expulsion and how
much time will be given to the mer-
chants and others of the prosecuted
race to leave the maritime ports, par
ticulariy, will not become known for
some time after it has been placed
in effect.
~ The orders of expulsion in the past
have always meant confiscation OF
property, or virtually that by its
forced sale. in order that the Jews
might move on.
Edicts that forced the Jews from
the rural districts and herded them
in the cities have always been fol-
lowed by the confscation of their
property in the country until the
hundreds Of thousands herded in the
Russian towns have been forced to
the verge of starvation.
Driven into many of the cities
where they now are. after slaughter
and pillage in the rural districts, the
prosecuted people have not been un
aware that new moves were contem-
plated against them.

No movement of Importance has
gone forward in the community to
which Mr. Bischoifsheim did not con
tribute munificently and readily. Nor
was he satisfied with mere giving. lie
took II personal interest IN the institu-
tions of the community. serving, at
one time, on the committee of the
Jews Free School. the Council of the
Anglo-Jewish Association and the
Roumanan committee. He was trus-
tee of the Jewish Convalescent Home.
When his cousin. the late Baroness de

home at Tudor house, Hampstead, he
became trustee of this institution
also, and on the death of his relative
he added, ana presented in her mem
ory, a children s wing, equipped with
twelve beds. The late Baroness had
intended to establish hospital for
Jewish consumptives Difficulties,
however, presented themselves. and
the prospect had to be abandoned, the
convalescent home at Tudor house be-
ing founded i'm its stead. But the
need for consumptive hospital still
remained. and five years ago the want
was supplied by the establishment of
the Daneswood Sanatorium.
The noble benefaction at WOburn
Sands. Bedfordshire, which Mr.. and
Mrs. Bischoffsheim presented to the
community, was opened in the sum-
mer of 1903 as branch OF the Jewish
Convalescent Home, of which Mrs.
Bischoffsheim is president, and has
proved veritable boon to the Jewish
consumptive poor. The deceased was
also the founder and sole owner of the
Metropolitan hospital ambulances
which have been erected in various
parts of London for rendering first

of the Twentieth Century League, and
founder of the Twentieth Century
Club. TO the Jubilee Commemoration
endowment fund raised for Jews Col
lege, he contributed, by the request of
the chief rabbi. the munificent sum of
$1,000. His labors for the recent eX-
tension of the Stepney Jewish schools
have already been referred to. AS an
instance of the dependence that the
community had come to place upon
him in all important collections that
were being organized, it may be men
toned that his was one of the first
names brought before the committee
who are issuing the present trienniai
appeal of the Jewish Religious Educa-
ton Board. The chief rabbi was to
have canvassed him personally, and
made many attempts to do so, but the
state of his health was such that it was
found impossible to bring the appeal
under his notice.

distinction as public-spirited citizen.
He was deeply interested in the ad-
vance of astronomical science. One OF

the management Of his uncle, the late
S. II. Goldschmidt, who subsequently
retired to Paris and became (1SS2)

himself as a merchant-banker. He
soon became prominent figure in

Profitable Cattle Feeding.

The Missouri Experiment Sta
ton at Columbia has just issued a
very elaborate and handsomely IL
Illustrated bulletin on the most sue
cessful methods of fattening cattle,
by Dean II. j. Waters.
This bulletin summarizes the ex-

fatten cattle, the proper weight,
the hest season of the year, the
best method of preparing feed, the
best sort of shelter, the market de-
mands, the best sort of roughness,
etc. 1t is illustrated with cuts of
the different types Of beef cattle,
including excellent illustrations of
the fat steer herd exhibited by the
College this season at the Inter-
State Fair, Kansas City, the Mis-
souri, State Fair, Sedalia, The
American Royal, Kansas City, and
