Letter to Her Sister.

The letters were found In the waist
Of her dress. There were three OF these
letters. One Of them was dated August
Ia which led the doctors 20 believe that
she had contemplated suicide for some
time. One OF the letters was addressed
to her sister. and il as follows:
Dearest Sister: OF course we disagree
on this as we do on every other topic
We have both been headstrong. Unfor-
tunately my disposition has been such
that could not always see things as
some Of my friends have.

way OF doing things. Now that our wills
are about TO clash. you may think more
waiting the last two years, have sew
eral times been tempted TO do this. and
now I Gill be successful for the first time
IN my life In something which would NOT
undo II 7 could. IL Is hard TO do this b,,,
still harder not to do IL.
DO not grieve for me. Though I have
never Intentionally said or done an nm
kind thing In my life. I recognize that
my lifs has been a mistake-a hopeless
mistake. Oblivion IS what I want.
You know how earnestly I tried "a
help myself and TO be independent And
with what success? You, OF all Others
know that my life has been a failure.

you every success Say goodbye for me

II thank you q thousand times for all
the kindnesses you have done me- Good

Lovingly. your SISTER,
To Blanche, an Unknown Friend.

friend:

mind TO DO II. From the time daddy died

THE, MAYOR OF NEW YORK
SPEAKS

The Rev. Thomas NJ Chambers Of
the Jewish Evangelical Society of New
York City wrote to the Mayor recent
ly asking for a license to preach for
the conversion of Jews to Christianity
on the corners of Hester and Norfolk
streets and Eighteenth street and Fifth
avenue in Manhattan, and at Sutton
avenue and Powell street in Browns
vile, the Jewish section Of Brooklyn.
The Mayor sent him this reply
Reverend and Dear Sir:-It seems
to me that this work of PROSECUTING
from other religious and sects is very
often carried too far. Do you not
think the Jews have a good religion?
Have not the Christians appropriated
the entire Jewish sacred scriptures?
Was not the New Testament also writ
ten entirely by Jews? Was not Jesus
also born Of the Jewish race, if | may
speak Of it with due reverence? Did
not we Christians get much or the
most of what we have from the Jews?
Why should anyone work so hard to
proselytize the Jew? His pure belief in
the one true living God comes down to
us even from the twilight of fable, and
is one of the unbroken lineages and
traditions of the world. | do not think
| should give you a license to preach
for the conversion Of the Jews in the
streets in the thickly settled Jewish
neighborhoods which you Designate
Would you not annoy them and do
more harm than good How many
Jews have you converted so far?
Very truly yours,
w. j. GAYNOR.
The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1910-05-05
ROUMANIA.

The king of Roumania received a
deputation of the central committee
of native Jews consisting of Dr. Adolf
Stern, president of the Jewish COM
munity in Bucharest, and DR.. Max
Caster, who handed his majesty a
memorial, bearing several thousand
signatures, concerning the position of
Jews born in Roumania as affected by
various acts of parliament which de-
prived them of many civil rights. The
deputation further complained that
the hateful form of oath, more Juda-
leo, was still enforced, although the
court of cessation had repeatedly pro-
nounced against it's retention. They
also called attention to the proceed
ings of certain persons who without
any justification whatsoever presum-
ed to speak in the name of the Jews
and to write in the home and foreign
press.

PLACING THE IMMIGRANTS.

PLACING THE lMMI GRANT S.
Lord, l would choose the crowded
way
Where souls are tried, the strain and
strife,
With grim Temptation, day by day
Would know the heights and depths of
Life
l would not ask sheltered place,
A fireside and a cradle song
Lest, having "all in ALL" | might
Throng"
This prayer seems verify applicable
to the life of that great, good man, DR..
Henry Cohen Of Galveston. With ev-
cry avenue open to him for the enjoy
ment of life, he unselfishly puts away
the 'All in ALL" ard devOtes every mo-

throng," with which every ship that
reaches Galveston is freighted. With

times putting forth eXertiOn that
would tax the strength of giant, he

ness of despair to a safe haven Of ref

denied these fleeing waits under a
merciless despotism.

quired to carry on the stupendous
work in which DR.. Cohen and his staff
of efficient co-workers are engaged.
Daily are they confronted by Difficult
ties, especially when it comes to the
distribution of these immigrants.
Those, in the cities and country dis
tricts of Texas, who wish to show
proper appreciation of the magnitude
ana scope of this work, can do so by
either writing for help from among the
immigrants or by recommending po-
sitions for them. Always keep in mind
that they are seeking an opportunity
to go to work to earn sufficient to
support themselves and those depend
ent on them. Lend your mite of as
sistance to them and Dr. Cohen by
dropping a postal to the address Civ
en- below for help of any nature. The
places that can be acceptably filled by
these new arrivals are too numerous
to be mentioned here. Let us do all
