In the waltz both the heel and toe are
used The toe serves as a pivot. while
springs are concealed In the heels and
knees. and the performer rises rapidly on
the toes. At the same time the head is
thrust forward like a chicken swallowing

GIVES PRAISE TO JEWS
Most Masterful Race of Man
kind, Saws w. NJ. Chandler.

Walter NJ. Chandler, a member of the
New York bar and we'll known lecturer
on religious subjects, delivered last night
the third Of series of five talks on "The
Jew at the Harlem Presbyterian Church,
at No. II Mount Morris Park.
Mr.. Chandler's topic last night was "Jew-
ish Peculiarities; or, Some Strange Facts
and Figures Concerning the Jews" Dlvid-
Ing his subject into four parts, namely, the
numerical strength of the Jew, race unity,
his physical characteristics and his men
tality, the speaker opened his address by
saying that there were more Jews in the
world to-day, despite the efforts of every
European nation at some time during the
Middle Ages TO eXterminate them, than
there were at the time when the Jews were
one of the great nations of the world The
reason, he humorously asserted, was be-
cause Of the fact that they refused to get
off the earth so long as there was any one
to do business with.
At present, Mr.. Chandler said, the Jewish
population of the world numbered ap-
proximately 100000 OF this number
about II per cent were found in the West
ern hemisphere, one-half OF them living in
-''" iOlh NIly, where lNey FORMED a
quarter Of the population.
In regard to the question Of the purity
OF the Jewish race, the speaker gave the
arguments OF many writer's touching both
phases OF the issue, but as his own per-
sonal conviction he said he did not believe
there was any pure Jewish race, as the
Bible, history and even the marriage IL
cense bureaus of to-day showed that mar
riages with Christians had always been
common
The speaker denied that the Jews possess
a common physical characteristics Although
they were generally shorter Of stature
than the people Of nation by whom they
were surrounded, and their hair, eyes and
complexion were usually dark, the speaker
said there was no lnfallible sign by which
the Jew could be detected. Even his nose,
that cartoOnists delight in picturing as
hooked, he said, had been proved to be a
characteristic of only Il per cent Of many
thousands Of Jewish children examined in
New York
In closing his address M Chandler
spoke of the Jews as the most masterful
race Of mankind and repudiated the
charge often brought against them that
they have not creative minds and can only
attain great results by the imitation of
Christian geniuses.

textile strikers to-day. The day was one
OF the quietest since the strike began, three
weeks ago There was marked increase
in the number OF operatives who reported
for work In the mills, although observers
declare that in no instance did any OF the
larger mills have more than 25 per cent of
their regular force on hand. All but two
OF the mills reopened Those who chose to
go to the mills were unmolested, even the
usual strike pickets being off duty. Strict
military discipline was maintained through
out the city by infantry and cavalry. Eff
forts to settle the trouble are at a stand
still
Secret sessions Of the executive commit
tee of the strikers were held at their head
quarters during the day, and after an even
I ing gathering IT was announced that active

without bail for a hearing on February 3.
Judge Chandler, before whom he was ar
raigned yesterday. having declared that
there was no precedent for allowing bail
on such a charge. The strike committee.
however, has secured the services Of prom
| inent attorneys, who will endeavor 10 have
Judge Chandler take the matter up again
! that they may cite to him what they claim
are precedents for releasing the prisoner.
Failing in this. habeas corpus proceedings
may be instituted.
William D. Haywood, ex-president OF the
Western Federation of Miners. and Will
ian Yates, Of New Bedford, both prominent
officials in the Industrial Workers OF the
World, addressed meetings Of the strike
committee to-day and assured the men,
| bers that the strike was not lacking In
support. Haywood. who plans 10 leave the
| city early tomorrow, declared he would call
on the national socialist body TO start a
nationwide campaign for the assistance OF
tho strikers.
Ettor and his fellow worker, arturo Gio-
vaLnitti, Of New York, who is held on q
| similar charge, were allowed to see no one
to-day, but the leader was permitted TO send
communication TO the strike committee.
In this he sad
| am informed OF the present status OF
things regarding the strike. Be OF good
cheer. Pay more attention to strengthen
| ing your defence than to me. Be at ease,
all the masters have done in the last cou-
pie of days is bound TO react and create
reversion of sympathy not only for me
and my comfade Gioyannitti, but also to
crown all your efforts with success.
| The Jail where Ettor and his companion
are confined is still closely guarded by
