He gives an imitation Of an English

Geei a fellow gets such a bunch Of
these love and jealousy things. Any

was one woman in the sketch that
had a dandy voice, and she was the
one best bet for me because she
wasn't In love and she wasn't 1eal-

HEBREWS MAKE
SCHOOL PLANS
Present Institution Will bs
Thoroughly Reorqanizsd,

The representatives of all the
Hebrew societies Of Perth Amboy,
having felt the great need of diffus-
ing the Hebrew knowledge and the
elements of the Jewish religion
among the Jewish youth of both SEX
es who till now grew up without the
slightest idea of their own religion.
of their own history, who till now
happen to display the greatest ignor-
ance of the past and present of their
ize the present existing Hebrew
to be committed to print, has failed
to fulfill it's duties as a national
school.
To improve the present deplorable
condition of the school, besides many
internal changes made by the pres
emit managers, the aforesaid repre-
sentatives have added an additional
feature to the school, namely q Sab
bath and Sunday school. This new
Idea has been introduced for the pur-
pose OF giving an opportunity to
those girls and boys who can not at
tend the school during week days,
but whose Hebrew training has been
neglected in their early childhood.
The opening of the Sabbath school
will take place on Saturday, July 8,
at 2 P. M. sharp, and Sunday, July
8, at 10 A. NJ. at the synagogue OF
Shaarey Tfloh at Madison avenue,
near Smith street. Girls and boys of
all ages are invited to attend same
every Saturday and Sunday.
81 This school will be conducted by
two experienced teachers, Mr.. M.
Epstein and Mr.. H. Arlosoroy, who
will surely make it enjoyable and
profitable for those who will attend.

New York, July 7:-Supreme
Court Justice Gavegan announced
from the bench that $50 could not
be considered the equitable price for
a girls leg in New York state. He

ship builder, to dismiss the action of
the guardians of Mary Rowland,
whose leg was so badly crushed
when she was knocked down by Nix
on's auto that 1t later had to be am
putated. Nixon argued hat he had
given the girls parents $50 and they
had signed a release.
This child was only six years old

ed by the court" ruled Gavegan,
'and to suggest that he could COM
promise the action for $50 is alb
