Russian Barbarity to the Jews.

Not long ago American newspapers re
ceiyed advices from Russian sources that
the authorities in that country looked
asllance upon the immigration of Rus
sian Jews to the United States. This
may be true, yet it must be observed
that Russian treatment of the Jews on
the whole is not such as to make those
wish to stay who are in position to get
AWAY. Curren reports of the expulsion
of Jews from Kieff come by way of Ber-
lin. but they bear the earmarks of truth.
The order of expulsion, it is said, was
issued by Premier Stolypin, and applies
to all the Jews who have settled in
Kieff without permission-in ALL about
ten thousand human beings. The order
was promulgated at the approach of the
Passover. and as only five days were al
lotted to the city officials for the clear
inc of all temperament Jews from the
city many acts of injustice and cruelty
we're committed-the property of the in
voluntary exiles being sacrificed right
and left. and many who are so poor as
to possess nothing more valuable than
household furniture having barely OPP
p0rtun ty TO take that with them when
hey are driven away.
The statement in explanation of the
cruel edict is that ''the Jews made in
roads into the commercial life of the
,;ty and Russian merchants appealed

Ups and Downs of Chance.

Men who live by their wits sometimes
forget to keep honor bright" which
usually proves d dangerous lapse. 1t has
been so i'll the case of Abraham White
Of New York.
In 1896, White, as a clerk, with only
forty-four cents capital, made sue
cessful bid for 81 100000 of a govern
ment bond issue of that year. The prof
it's of the deal set him up III business,
and he made millions. Then he began to
go down the tOboggan. One night this
week White was arrested on charge OF
grand larceny-his alleged offense con-
>isting in swIndling Isaac Zane, a pen
stoned employe Of the Manhattan Ele-
waited Railway Company, out Of $500,
the savings of the victims lifetime.
Zane had conceived a high idea of
Whites capacity and integrity from read
an old newspaper: He opened CORE
spondence by saying that he had 5000
which he would like White to invest for
him. White did not jump at the oppor-
tunity, but after some lapse Of time,
writing on stationery Of the New York
Security Company, his own name APP
pearing as president Of that concern, he
said he saw good chance to place the
money. Zane wanted no greater encour-
agement than that to send on his total
financial accumulations-in a draft for
500 and an order on a savings bank
for $500 more. That was in January,
1907. He received a check for S25
as the first fruits of his invest
ment, and then he heard from White no
more. Last month he went to New York
and set the police on Whites track. 1t
took some time to find him. When ar
rested he was occupying his luxuriously
furnished apartments in the Hotel Man
haitian.

ROMANCE AND DIVORCE
[NEZ SPRAGUES EXPERIENCES
FOLLOWING AN ELOPEMENT.
About to Go to Court to Bring to an End
What She Terms Matrimonial
Farce.

Elopement, marriage, separation and
divorce-all in three years This is the
thrilling story of Inez Sprague, once
called 1.-The most beautiful girl in Rhode
Island" She is the granddaughter Of
former Gov. William Sprague by his
wife. who was the flashing Kate Chase,
daughter of Chief Justice Chase.
lnez is now in Paris, and her wild
romance, in which politics as well as
love played part, is now almost over.
Her venerable grandfather and the pres
ent Mrs. Spsague, a brilliant woman,
who is at the same time the stenographer
and aunt of lnez. are tenderly caring for
her in their home. 81 Avenue d'Antin.
1t was three years ago when Inez
Sprague, the belle of Rhode Island.
eloped with Henry M. Stiness, the son
of an ex-chief justice of that state. She
was only 10 years old then, beautiful and
accomplished as the best Partisan schools
could make her.
Unusual plQuancy was added to their
elopement from the fact that Inez had
been previously engaged to Harold Win
penny, a youth belonging to the new rich
set of Philadelphia. So near at hand
was her marriage with young Winpenny
that she spent two weeks visiting her
prospective mother-inlaW- in her .Phila-
delphia home. But Inez did not like the
Philadelphia set and she returned to the
home Of her grandfather. the last of the
living war governors at CanOnchet, Mar
ragansett Pier. Canonchet was notable
because Gov. Sprague expelled from it's
hospitable doors at the muzzle of a load

York, who was paying attention to the
then mistress OF the house, Kate
Sprague. 1t was burned down last au-
tumn.
Inez made her home there because her
father was deau and her mother had
married again. Her father. the only son
of the valiant governor, died suddenly at
Tacoma. Her mother, whose maiden
name was Avis Weede, is now married
for the third time to Nencelaus Borde, a
Porto Rican millionaire, with vast land
interests in that island. Mrs. Borde left
her daughter Inez with Gov. ana MIS-.
Sprague.
While still engaged to Harold Winpen-
nv, Inez fell in love with William Stiness.
Gov Sprague refused his consent to the
marriage, looking upon the young man as
his bitterest political enemy. 1t was
Judge Stiness who rendered an adverse
Judgment against Sprague when financial
misfortune befell him and his estate was
in the courts. The young couple escaped
to Providence, where 1neZ went on the
pretense of seeing her dressmakGT. They
were married in St. Stephens church.
Henry was the only son of Chief JUS
tice Stiness and a handsome young man,
but he did not love work. His new
moIher-in-law gave him money to pay
his debts but he spent it III other ways.
This first caused trouble between the
young married couple.
JneZ Sprague, VINO was young Slrl
of high ideals, disliked these receptions,
and even the birth of a baby girl failed
to bring them together again. Recently
she determined to bring an end to what
she terms "a matrimonial farce" She
took her siXteen-mOnth- old baby and fled

old governor put flowers in every room III
the house the day she and her baby ar
rived.
The last chapter is yet uncontrolled,
but the scene of it will he laid in Paris,
for here Inez Sprague Stiness will in due
time get her divorce, preparations for
which have already been begun.
Meanwhile lnez has gone back to the
studies she left off eight years ago when
she lived here with her mother and Mrs.

of expulsion being at once promulgated. -
By those in Berlin who are familiar with
the hatred of the Jews which animates
the Russian rabble, it is feared that
the example set by the Russian govern
ment may be followed by anti-Semite
demonstrations throughout Russia.
The rigorous determination of Premier
Stolypin was indicated in several ways.
He did not ignore petition bearing the
names of leading members Gf the guilds
and the stock exchange, asking that the
order of expulsion be reconsidered. On
the contrary there is room for suspicion
that it was he who caused the signers
to be warned that further interference
by them would be resented by the gov
eminent. The systematic, heartless thor
oughness with which the order is being
carried out shows the pleasure that big
oted officials take in it's execution. Kieff
has been divided into four sections, and
high government official is in charge
of each, with police and soldiers as
signed to assist in the evictiOns. The
government has made no provision for
the exiles. They do not know where to
turn, and no doubt must be reminded
of the hardships of their ancestors in
Egypt and by the waters of Babylon in
ages when the world in general was
mole barbarous than it is now.
Viewed in the light of the Twentieth
Century, Stolypin's edict is an anachron-
ism and under his premiership Russia
is behind the age.
