Joplin. The story from the Christian
point of view has been preserved by Mat
thew Paris, in history written in Latin
about the time of the incident. Trans
lated into English, it begins in this wise:

Later on, when the character OF the
school was changed, and both boys and

he developed considerable ability both as

As to the diseases prevalent among chill
dren, Bishop Brent said: There Is a
good deal OF tuberculosis and neglected
wounds. The children are really very
brave. A child having a gaping wound
will have It dressed without making a
sound. OF course, they have not got a
very sensitive nervous organization.
"All these cases are from Northern Lu-
zon, but there is no reason to suppose
that the pagan children OF any other
province are not susceptible to good In
fiuence. / have seen a group OF women
among the Moros grow from little things
to womanhood. and they are as different

provide sound, efficient and conservative
management. and thus avoid the financial
and emotional pitfalls encountered by so
many altruistic projects. Hence the idea
of having the work Of raising the annual

MANY CASES IN RUSSIA.

The Beiliss case is not the first or this
type which has been tried In l.ussla, al
though Il Is the first charge OF this KIND
which has reached the stage OF a trial
since the reactionary era began, in 1881.
There have been a number or cases OF the
disappearance of children in which Jews
were charged with being the cause, but IN
variably the children reappeared or their
bodies were found under circumstances
which eliminated any plausible ground
for making the blood accusation.
TIE cases which have been recorded all
hear a marked similarity one to another.

PROFESSORS AS WITNESSES

Six months later, or more than year
after the alleged crime had been com
mitted, the authorities. still being with
out any direct evidence aside from that
Of the fourteen-year-old lad, opened the
trial Thirty sessions were held and
many witnesses heard. Among the wit
nesses were the three professors who
had examined the body of the unnamed
girl exhumed in December. They ali
stated 1t 10 be their opinion that the COM
mittee of three who had declared the
body to be that OF a girl eighteen or
twenty years old were grossly ignorant
and that the earlier examination had no
scientific basis. The fact that the corpse
was not claimed by any one, they said,
left no doubt in their minds that it was
the body of Esther, although its condi-
ton did not permit OF positive identified
ton. The neck had not been cut so IT
was evident that no ritual murder had
been committed such as Moriz had de-
scribed. Apparently the girl had been
drowned. The contradictory statements
OF the boy and visit to the scene or
the alleged crime convinced the court
that no case had been made out, and In
August all who had been charged with
the crime were unanimously acquitted.
The verdict, however. was the signal FOR
uprisings in Pressburg, Budapest and
other parts OF Hungary.
