AN UNIQUE MEMORIAL.
Candle Will Flame Nearly Five Years
for Petrosiao.

The largest candle ever manufac-
tured is destined to burn four years
and seven months in memory of JOS.
Petrosino, the New York detective,
who was assassinated while on Sc
cret mission to Italy. 1t was finish
ed the day Ptrosino's body reached
America, and was sent to the cathe-
dral in Mott street, New York city,
where the funeral took place few
days later, and where 1t was design
ed that the great candle should
burn continuously in memory of the
slain officer.
But threats to dynamite the
church II the candle was left there
Were received, and it was hurriedly
returned to the firm which made 1T.
1t now awaits the disposition of the
widow, who is making arrangements
to have it sent to her husbands
birthplace in Italy, and there en-
shrined.
The candle is 9 feet high and 8
feet 6 inches in circumference. 1t
weighs ITS pounds, and Is almost
completely covered with 10-karat
gold leaf. The composition is Aus
trian beeswax, to which a slow-burn-
ing substance has been added. 1t
cost $3.50, and is the present Of the
manufacturers, in whose home town
Petlosino lived when a boy. They
have computed that 1t will burn
within ten hours of four years and
seven months.

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA,
One Spoon for Family--Babes are
Clothed I'm Old Newspapers.

One wooden spoon sufficing for en-
tire families, newly born children
clad only in newspapers, and the
levy of taxes even on chickens killed
after the Jewish custom, are among
the revelation made in a report con-
cerning the Jews throughout Russia,
which the State Department has
made public, says dispatch from
Washington. The report is from
Spencer F. Eddy.
A striking feature of it is the ref
erence to the extreme poverty in the
Agrarian colonies established for the
Jews.
lone wooden spoon has to suffice
for an entire family" says Mr.. Eddy,
"as the cost Of one for each member
of the family cannot be borne; and
yet a wooden spoon can be bought
for " cents. There is large hos
pital supported by charity in st. Pc
tersburg itself where it is common
occurrence for women to wrap up
their newly-born children In news
papers when leaving the hospital for
their homes, simply because they
cannot afford to buy even a piece Of
flannel cloth suitable for the pur-
pose"
Special taxes are paid by the
Jews apart from the taxes common
to all subjects. General taxes are
assessed on all animals killed for
food.
"Ths Jews are not taking the i'll
treatment and oppression with peace
and resignation" says Mr.. Eddy.
During the past twenty years their
opposition, while unorganized and
misdirected, has none the less been
so strong and so unquenchable that
neither prison nor bodily suffering,
nor the whips Of the Cossacks, nor
transportation to the farthest limits
Of Siberia, nor even the death pen
atty itself has been able to keep
them quiet. 1t seems just to hope
that the near future will bring the
same betterment of conditions to
Jews as it bids fair to bring to the
Russian people generally"

spring a doctor healed 1t up. l felt
fine for about month, but had to
be on my feet a good deal and above
my knee came a swelling as big as
my fist. 1t hung down and was as
red as If 1t had been blistered and so
sore that 1 could hardly get around.
The cords Of my leg seemed to be
stiff and the pain was so bad at
times that it made me faint.

about Sloan's Liniment, so l got a
bottle and put some right on. Next

better and / kept right on using the
