work. His small savings were soon
used up and he and his family were
at the point of starvation, when the
factory where he had been employed
started work again and he was asked
to report for work. There was
great happiness In that family the
night before he went back to work.
He had scarcely been at work half
an hour, when his hand was caught
in the machinery and torn to shreds.
The injured man was first taken TO
the hospital, swhere the hand was
amputated and then he was sent
home. The accident which dis
abled the man shattered all hopes OF
the family, but his wife and his
children tried their best to cheer the
head of the family. Toward even
ing he went out for walk, but
weakened from loss of blood and in
sufficient nourishment, he collapsed
on the street and died before a
physician could be called.
While A. L. Loewe, wealthy re-
sident of Bensonhurst, L. l., was sit
ting on the front porch of his neigh
bor's house across the street from
his own, some bold burglar entered
Mr.. Loewe's house through a rear
window and stole about $500 worth
of jewelry and brie-a-brac. TAe
robber worked without fear Of de-
lection, as there was nobody else in
the house and he was able to pick
out his plumber. .hile having the
owner of the house all the while
under surveillance. Mr.. Loewe was
greatly mortified when he found out
that his house had been robbed right
before his own eyes.
Almost every das brings to light
some Of the absurd features OF the
new "Gun-Law." which will soon be
tested in the courts. The other

New York, Sept. s5.--At sun down
last night the Jewish year began
and today more than 100000 peo-
pie in Greater New York are dele
brating the event. II is rather
peculiar fact that there are more
Jews in New York city than the rest
OF the country taken together. The
total number of Jews in the United
States is nearly 2,000,000. The
overwhelming majority Of the Jews
live in the large cities. More than
loco, 000 live in Greater New York;
in Chicago 10000; in Philadelphia,
100, 900; in Boston, $4,000; in Gin
cinnati, 10000; In Minneapolis and
st. Paul. $4,000.
The larger part of these Jews
have come to America within the
past twenty-five years, and the rate
of increase from this source is rapid
ly advancing. The positions Of in
fiuence occupied by many of there
Jews give them a tremendous power,
far beyond what might be indicated
by their number. They are an i'm
portant factor in the world OF finance
and control enormous wealth. 1t
Is stated that there are in New York
City alone about 5000 Jewish law
yers and more than 1000 Jewish
physicians. In each of the large
universities and colleges there are
from one to six professors who be-
long to the Hebrew race. The
theatrical enterprise are almost en-
tireiy In the hands OF Jews and the
number of Jews in the theatrical
profession is steadily increasing. II
10 also fact that many of the lead
ing daily papers in the country are
owned and controlled by Jews.
The recently issued report of the
Association for Improving the Con-
dition OF the Poor indicates greater
poverty this year than a year ago.
The number of families needing re-
lief at the present time is reported
greater than at the same time last
