TEACHER OF LITTLE CHILDREN
Tells His Life Story-Conditions

in Russia.

That 1.-The old order changeth" in this
country of new opportunities and ideals
was forcibly illustrated yesterday when
a trembling old man with a struggling
white beard and a pathetically wistful
looking face was arraigned in Police
Court before Judge Pugh.
This old chap was wandering around
at O'Clock yesterday morning on Rhode
Island avenue" laconically remarked
Policeman Jones of the eighth precinct,
as he steadied the defendant, who was
shrinking away from the judge and peer
ing furtively from side to side. Said
he didn't have any place to sleep, so l
ran him in as a vagrant."
who are you and what do you do for
La living?" asked Judge Pugh.
Relates Pathetic Story.
Il am Isaiah Short replied the old
man. Il am not long in this country.
l am a teacher of Hebrew truths to the
little boys. In Russia l had schools and
in England, but there is no place here
for me. Here the little boys and the
little girls go to the public schools They
do not want to learn Hebrew They want
to learn English. They do not come to
the synagogue as regularly as they do
in the old countries. There the syna-
gogue is the school Here the school is
another place.
Il had friends in that great city of
New York, but l could not find the
little boys or the little girls to teach.
They were in the schools of the city with
the boys and the girls of other races and
of other faiths. 1 thought it was not
good for them. but maybe it is better.
do not know. l am disturbed. You are
so peaceful here and SO great and big
that maybe it is better that you teach
them all together. They all belong to
God.
Merely an Old Teacher.
My friends in that great city of New
York did not want to have me with
them longer / have no trade. I am just
an old teacher who is of no use. They
sent me here. l tried to find the little
boys and the little girls to teach, but
it was not possible So I had spent my
money and 1 had no place to sleep and
no food to eat, and 1 was walking with
prayer to God in my heart"
I'll turn you over to Mr.. Massie of
the Prisoners Aid Society," said Judge
Pugh. He will find some help for
you. The Hebrew societies here do good
work. and they will look after you. 1t
is too bad, too bad
Tears on His Cheeks.
The tears were streaming down the
cheeks of the old man as they led him
away.
"Zangwill was right said lawyer
with literary bent, who was looking
on. America is the great melting pot,
and even that old man. with his settled
convictions and his stern regard for ira

BUSINESS MEN PLAY
Excursion of Chamber of Com.
merce to Hampton Roads.
TWO DAYS OF PURE FUN
No Business Cares Will Trouble Elk
cursionists Until Next Tues
day Morning.

When the Southland left it's pier at the
foot of It'll street southwest last night
it had aboard large and enthusiastic
party, composed of members Of the
Chamber of Commerce. who are sched-
uled to arrive at Old Point Comfort at
$50 this morning. and who will go
traipsing around the sands on both sides
of Hampton roads. enjoying themselves
until they get back here to old Washing
ton Tuesday morning.
This is the annual trip of the chamber.
The party has tried practically this same
trip twice before. and is very much enam-
ored of it. The addition of a red-hot
base ball game between the chamber S
team and the best that Fort Monroe
can produce is going to make this years
trip probably little bit better than ever
before.
Grand Night for Trip.
1t was a grand night for a sail down
the river and a good night to watch for
the comet. There was plenty to do.
whether they saw the comet or not. After
the scrimmage to get into the staterooms
hrst and unpack was over, the crowd
planned to get up on what the landlub-
bers always call the top deck" and
drew deep breaths Of satisfaction at
being able to get the lungs full of splen-
did air-and think that for two sohd
days there was no Stock Exchange, and
no store; no bank, no nothing, but one
continuous round Of fun.
The party is going to revel in sea food.
Everything in season, from shad row to
pOrpOise, Is going to be sampled by the
crowd before it gets back to home cook
ing again. There is a vision of an enor-
nous clam chOwder party at Cape Henry,
visions of broiled blue fish and shad. and
crabs and clans and everything that the
sea saves back for its best customers.
Also there is vision of Washington S
portliest business men bathing in the
surf disporting merrily and with glee in
hired bathing suits.
Make for Cape Henry.
They say that if the crowd is enthusi-
astic about it the whole party will go
over to guard mount at Fort Monroe
at o'clock this morning. and after that
they will make straight for the first sea-
food dinner at Cape Henry. There is not
much at Cape Henry but sand, a white
lighthouse and sea food. but the Chamber
Of Commerce knows that sea food Of old.
Dinner tonight will be in the Chamber
lin at Old Point Comfort. Tomorrow the
party is to take a few side trips by troll
ley 10 several OF the sightseeing places
around Old Point and Newport News.
Aboard the Southland Is the famous
Chamber of Commerce base ball team,
which has game scheduled with
the pick of the ten teams at Fort Mon
roe. The struggle will start at 3 o'clock
Monday afternoon. The picked soldier
team is enjoying the reputation of being
very fast and clever organization. Ru-
mors that have reached Washington have
it that the soldiers have put a crimp into
the Norfolk team and several other south
ern state league aggregations.
