Jews Want Russian Names.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 4.-The right
of Russian subjects of the Jewish
faith to assume ordinary Russian first
names and to confer them on their
children instead of those recognized
as Enthusiastically Hebraic is to be
brought before the senate for deci-
sion by the Ministry of the Interior.
The custom has recently grown
among Russian people of this reli-
gious sect to resort to the use of
ordinary names in order to avoid
business and social embarrassment.
The Ministry of the Interior has hith-
erto held that while a man could not
arbitrarily assume another nans
than that entered on his record at
his birth, nothing could prevent He
brew partnts from comforting on their
children non patriarchal names.
The Holy Synod has objected
to this custom and as a
consequence of this the ministry \ls
to the senate and decision
is expected shortly.
