sHEEHAN is A SLAYER
Refuses to Get Out of the Race for
v. S. Senator

New York, March 6.-After consul
tation with his Tammany supporters,
William +. Sheehan issued a state
ment yesterday in which he accuses
Governor Dix Of yielding to those who
have been "obstructing the election
Of the regularly chosen candidate Of
the party for United States senator"
In other words, Mr. Sheehan says that
he will not withdraw as the Democra-
tic caucus nominee, and all the indi-
cations are to the effect that there
will be no immediate break in the
deadlock at Albany are apparently
confirmed.
Charles +. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, having been acquainted In
advance Of the tenor of Mr. Sheehan's
statement, said he thought 1t spoke
for itself and would not add to it.
John H. McCooey, the Democratic
leader of Kings county (Brooklyn)
is still staunch for Murphy, and the
general belief of Tammany leaders is
that Sheehan will still hold rs votes
when the full effect of Governor Dixs
letter has made itself felt. The gov
ernor's attitude toward Sheehan has
been no secret to Tammany for some
| time and there was no expectation
| that formal announcement would
produce any immediate result. What
ever measures to counteract 1t may
be taken have been and are being de-
liberated by Murphy. Mr.. Sheehan
and other advisers and supporters.

Henry Procos Of Wlnooskl Died In
Barn In Waltham

Vergennes, March 6.-The body of
young man was found Saturday in
a barn in the town of Waltham, which
is located two miles from this city.
The body was frozen stiff and rats
had mutilated it in a horrible man
ner, both hands and one side of the
face being eaten away. The reason
that the body was not discovered soon
er is because the barn was visited
Saturday for the first time In three
weeks.
At first the body was not identified
but later 1t was discovered that II
was that of Henry Procos of Winoos.
XII. lie was about 30 years OF age.
1t is supposed that the man had crawl
ed into the barn for rest and went to
sleep in the hay, being frozen to death
as he lay there. The body was neatly

And still the voice is silent from
among all those who might, by eXercis-
ing it, proclaim the unification of
charities and point the way for great
work. We cannot believe that the in
terest of our people in charitable work
is not as keen as in years gone by, as
our history teaches us, but we stand
with a mist before us. Will not, can
not this city produce someone who
will remove the veil of the past and
show what can be accomplished with
modern methods? Will someone not
arise who is equal to the occasion and
point the way to a systematized dis
pensation of charities? Can not the
city produce someone big enough to
overcome the obstacles and success
fully launch united charity? We do
not believe the task is hopeless, but it
requires work; it requires courage;
we are still cropping in the dark for the
voice; we are still hopeful.

One of the greatest mistakes com
mitted by parents is to threaten their
children with certain punishments if
they refuse to do certain things and
then to fail to carry into effect the
punishment when the children persist
in doing these things. 1t weakens the
authority of the parents for all time
to come. What is said here of the
parent, holds equally good of the
teacher. Our teachers, both in the
public and the Sabbath schools, do too
much threatening. They try to fright
en- children into doing or not doing
certain things. The less threats that
are made, the better, but if warnings
must be given, the teacher should be
as good as her word and do just exact
ly what she says. Children soon learn
whether parents and teachers mean
what they say, and if the children see
that the teachers and parents are sim
ply holding the stick over them with
out using it, they will take advantage
of that fact and the next time pay
no attention to their demands and
commands. We should do as little
threatening as possible, but when we
give forth the threat we should exc
cute it, and we should make the pun
ishment fit the crime. Am. Israelite.

DIR. CASTER DECLINES POST
OF CHIEF RABBI.

The London correspondent of the
Jewish Morgen Journal of this city
cabled on Monday that he had inter
viewed DR.. Moses Caster, Haham of
the Spanish and Portuguese congrega-
tons of London, and inquired of him
his views on the chief rabbinate with
reference to his candidacy. DR.. Gas
ter replied that under no circum-
stances could he consider accepting
the position should it be offered to
him. He gave as one of his reasons
the fact that he is not a well man,
and that he could not undertake the
physical labor attached to the office.
DR.. Caster suffers from defective eye
sight, and feels that should he be
named, the community would have to
reopen the question which was upper
most in the last days of the late chief
rabbi, whose physical infirmities made
it imperative that an associate be con-
sidered for appointment.
DR.. Caster believes that it would
be a mistake on the part of the COM
munity to select man who is not
physically in condition to carry on the
work. F." go

TO cURTAIL JEWS CREDIT.

~ UVh Au@ SE VuS Vh@@hbu
London, July 2S.-The Times corre-
spondent at st. Petersburg says that
Premier Stolypin has written to his
colleagues proposing to compel banks
to restrict credit to Jewish merchants.
The premier argues that the banks
are mostly in Jewish hands, and favor
Jews. who are thus able to monopolize
trade and organize speculations disas-
trously affecting the country, notably
in the grain trade.
NJ Kokovtsoff, and even the Nation
alist, Timasheff, are reported to have
disagreed both with the premises and.
the conclusions of Premier Stolypin's
letter.
The opposition organs describe M.
Stolypin's move as logical conse-
quence of his Nationalist policy.

deed to see the thousands OF men, Wo-
men and children, revealing in the de-

But to reach the source of all such
pleasure is serious drawback to the
pleasure offered. Dark and unpaved

JUDAISM TO BE TAUGHT BY
MAIL.
The Jewish religion taught by cor
respondence will be the chief branch
in the curriculum of school planned
by Rabbi Henry Berkowitz of Phila-
delphia.
"At the request of the American
Association of Rabbis | outlined the
plan at the conference two weeks ago
in st. Paul." said Rabbi Berkowitz in
an interview THE idea was indorsed
by unanimous vote and within a
year the school will be in operation
I'VE shall have faculty composed
of men skilled in the different sub
jects and each pupil will have indi-
vidual instruction. he history of the
Jewish race will be included in the
course.
THE school will follow the meth
DDS of the technical correspondence
schools, which have demonstrated that
education can be delivered successfully
through the mails. The public in gen.
eral has little conception of the Jew
ish religion and there are many Jews,
too, who need instruction regarding
their racial history and religion. Gen
tiles will be enrolled if they care to
take the course.
1--WE believe the subjects will be
wonderfully interesting and the fac
ulty will include the best teachers
available. At present l am trying to
select the members and an announce
ment will be made shortly. The
school will be in Philadelphia sim
liar work is being carried on by clubs
of women and our societies, but the
group method does not reach far
enough"

BERNSTEIN FIGHTS AGAIN.

Paris, July 26.-Henry Bernstein,
the playwright, fought still another
duel today as an outcome of the riots
!, instituted by members of the Royalist
organization known as the "Camelots
du Roi" at the Theater Francois
which eventually forced Bernsten's
play, "Apres Moi" off the stage
Bernstein was to meet the Royalist,
Lacour, who is now serving a three
years term of Imprisonment for as
saulting ex-Premier BRAND, but the
government refused to grant permits
sion to Lacour to leave the jail, even
temporarily, to carry out this engage
ment.
Maurice Pujo, another Royalist, and
member of the "Camelots du Roi," of
which organization Lacour is vice
president, took the latter's place. The
duel, which was with swords, was
ed the forearm of his adversary
twice, and was himself slightly wound
ed in the arm by Pujo. The seconds
stopped the duel at the seventh bout.

Grifftts a Booster.

Rev. ]. L. Griffitts, of Dunlap, has
been attending the Woodmen conven-

In conversation with Times reporter
he said
"While l have not seen quite all Of
the world, yet am satisfied l have
seen the loveliest spot of it when l
have seen Sequatchie valley. 1t mes
ties between Walden's ridge and the
Cumberland mountains, and is fer
tile valley, occupied by progressive
people, who are up-to-date farmers,
who raise fine horses, cattle and hogs.
We also produce high grade of citi-
zenship, and when there is danger OF
crowding our population we send the
surplus to Chattanooga to keep this
city growing. We have contributed
no little to your city in this respect.
Our mountains are full of coal and
iron. Dunlap is located right in the
heart of this beautiful valley, and is
growing town. We have fine, COM
modious brick school building. built
about year ago. The church of
which am pastor is just finishing the
most modern and attractive church
building in the valley. The SeQuat-
chic County bank has within the last
year built them handsome two story
pressed brick building, and the con-
tract is just ready to let for new
sic, 900 brick court house. The South
ern Iron and Steel company operate
large coal mines and coke ovens there.
We have recently organized a CONNER
cial club and are now planning for
electric light, waterworks and con-
crete sidewalks.
"While we are prospering in mater
ial things, I especially want to say
that we have the best church people Of
any place ever saw. We have three
churches in the town-the Methodist
