Jewish records)
<TTTHEN Abraham sal at his tent door, according to custom, waiting to
M entertain strangers, he espied IN old mn STOPPING and leaning o.
w his staff, weary with age and travel, coming towards him, who ws
al hundred years Oft age. He received him kindly. washed his feet, provided
supper and caused him to sit down, but, observing that the old. man ate and
prayed not, nor begged for a blessing IN his meat. asked him why he did not
worship the God Of heaven. The old m a told him that he worshpped the fire
only. and acknowledged n o other God; at which Abraham grew so zeaousy
angry that he thrust the old ian u of his tent and exposed him to all the
evils of the night and an unguarded condition.
When the old mai as gone God called to Abraham and asked him where
the stranger was.
II thrust him away because he did not worship Thee"
God answered him:

and coudst thou not endure him n night?'
Upon this. saith the story Abraham fetched him back again and gave

OUR MONEY GIFTS

The statement is made at the New York postoffce that this is an
increase of 49, 9s,1 25 over last year. To England went $4,000 900
and to Italy $~1,732,1S1, these being the largest recipients. In ad-
dition to this Christmas cash, the outgoing steamers carry carroes
of Christmas boxes and parcels, the value of which cannot be esti-
mated, but, altogether, the estimate of our Christmas contribution
to Europe is in excess of fifty million dollars. What with the hun.
dreds of millions that American tourists give to Europe, the MANY
millions that are sent every month by immigrants for savings in
yestment or to support relatives, and the total of Christmas offer
ings, the United States is a very large contributor to the mainte.
nance of people in Europe. What would the effect be if all this
American wealth should be cut off?

Alas. how sacrilegious are the

mansion. They have gaaed at the
shrine where society's devotees
formerly knelt. They have touched
the priceless tapestries, and pro-

HOLIDAY SHOPPING

some extent relieve the clerks and salesgirls in the stores of the
nervous strain of Christmas week, while afording more oppor-
tinity to shoppers who are obliged by necessity to delay their
Purchases. During the present week those women who go into
the shopping district merely for diversion and circulate from
store to store without any object of buying should make them,
selves conspicuous by their absence. With the sightseers elimi.
mated, and there are usually many of them abroad in Christmas
week, the crowd and crush will not be so great and so trying to

MORE SPACE FOR
THE POSTOFFICE

the claim is abundantly proven in the report to the board of its
special committee on postoffce facilities. In this respect Newark
has been Disseminated against. We have not received from Con
gress the recognition given to cities of smaller population, while
Others of Newarks size have had double the amount of the New
ark appropriation. The Newark postonice is a big income maker
for the government. Its large profits help to sustain many Offices
in localities where the business is done at a loss. And yet it has
cramped quarters. The comparison made by the special committee
with the general offices of large corporations such as the Pruden-
tml is a just and striking one. But the special committee report
merely points out the conditions. The board should not delay to
act. 1t takes a long pull and a strong pull to get an appropriation
from Congress, and the tugof-war should now be begun.

was a monopoly, and Zelaya had his personal profit out of them
all. Whiskey and tobacco yielded big returns. Education in
Nicaragua rs neglected, the people are isolated from the outside
world and know little beyond their own narrow environments.
They have little conception of their own rights. Nicaragua figures
as q republic, when for sixteen years it has been as much of an
absoutsm as Turkey was under the lately deposed Sultan, for
Zelaya conferred all power in himself and abused that power cruelty.
If the United States has any benevolent mission in Nicaragua it is
that Of establishing the schoolmaster there to teach the people the
things they do not know and enable them to set up a real republic.

wants Tunnel for Newark.

wants Tunnel for Newark.
Editor Newark Evening Star:
Dear Sir:
Why Newark should adopt a
system of underground passenger
transit:
I. The following statements show
that Newark's transit facilities are
inadequate:
A.. An insufficient number of
car are run.
B AS a result passengers often
have to stand in cars.
c. Progress in the s~o-called
"~congested district is very slow
as shown by the facts that
1 There ere only surface cars
to take.
2. The crowded streets delay
surface cars.
II. Two facts prove that Newark
greatly needs more rapid transit:
A. The lack of rapid transit
checks it's growth in that
/. A city grows fastest in its
suburbs.
2. Suburbs cannot grow with
out rapid transit to the city.
B. Rapid transit diminishes the
number Of tenement houses in
that
/. It makes 1t possible for
..-A-I-f-- -.~ - lt..z - Ah@
suburbs.
III. The following conditions bear
witness that surface ears can in no
way give relief:
A. The present lines are run as
well as possible under present
conditions in that
/. The streets are too crowded
to permit a greater number of
cars or higher speed.
B. More rapid progress cannot
be attained by widening streets
In that
/. The expense would be pro-
hibitory.
C. The traffic in Broad and Mar
ket. streets, the most crowded,
may not be diverted to neighbor-
ing parallel ones in that
1. They are too narrow for
street railway traffic.
". Since rapid transit cannot be
procured on the surface the ques-
ton is whether to go above or be-
low the surface, whether to build
an elevated railroad or some form
of underground road such as:
1. A subway, a tunnel, near
enough to the surface to be dug
by the "cut and cover method.
This consists in digging a
trench and then roofing It.. u
2. \ deep tunnel, about fifty
feet below the surface, and bum
along the lines of the McAdoo
system.
V. Tunnels of this description
would not injure the city as would
an elevated tructure, for:
A. They would not hurt the
streets, for
/. They would not obstruct the
streets by posts.
2. They would not darken
them.s
3. They would not make them
unsightly.
B. They would not make the
city noisy.
c. They would not injure bust
ness during construction. for
/. They would 0 drive away
trade.
2. They would not obstruct the
streets.
VI. a deep tunnel would be
cheaper in the long run than an
elevated or subway, for:
1. The expense of building
and land damages would be
eliminated
2. II cut deep enough 1t can
be made to go direct to it's des-
tination.

complains About libraries.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Dear Sir--I wish to state that our
city is defeating one of It's own
objects in keeping its libraries open
when shop people cannot visit them
and closing the same almost when
it is possible for such people to
relax their tired bodies and cult
vate their minds. The abnormal
people who do not appreciate their
places in life, l am sure, do not be-
long in our libraries while the sun
is up. Yours truly.

MARKET NEWS.
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Nov 23.--The decision against tine legality Of the Standard Oil Company in it's present form con tinued the disturbing influence in the stock market today. It was most acutely manifest in the group of con. per industrials.
 The reason for this was not that those companies are particularly vul. nerahle to the effect of the decision in their present foam, but that an ami mated speculation and sharp advance In prices of those stock have taken place, based on the assumption of a coming consolidation of the copper products on much the same lines as are prohibited by the counts decision in the Standard oil case.
 The speculative position in those stocks therefore was very vulnerable,
 The shon interest built up in course of the recline furnished a sufficient re- quirement to work an effective rally in prices. Southern Pacific showed some positive strength on the ground of strong annual report.
