JEWISH VOTERS IN SEPTEMBER PRIMARIES.

After shutdown the day for the State primaries,
September %, which is also the Jewish New Year,
Jewish voters vote at the polls, the holiday
ends at the sinking of the sun, which is at six
O'Clock leaving three hours for voting.

the fourth Tuesday in September. The date cannot
be changed except by statute and therefore nothing

tions on September % for orthodox Hebrews the
three hours which will elapse after the New Year
ended win afford time voters to sign their names
and deposit their ballots.

ACTION BY NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

The tremendous liquidation and smashing of
prices on the stock exchanges which have been going
on ever since the Austrian utmatum to servia have
caused by the forced sales of American securities
by Europe and the panic fears of American investors
who forget the enormous assets and vast crops of
this country and its sound financial condition.
The American government is the strongest fnan-
ciay Of the governments of the world 1t has the
smallest national debt of all the principal nations,
and 1t owns resources that Incompatible At
present it is loaning many millions to the farmers
to move their enormous crops and the now
opening has already added $40 600 to the value
of the cereal crops alone. The interruption of COM
merce will up all kinds of American industries,
for with mportations reduced the market must be
supplied by the domestic manufacturer There will
also be an enormous demand for products of the
farm and factory from abroad
These facts are not realized by people who
afrighted by a great calamity in Europe, want
to sacrifice the sound securities that have afforded
them a good living, and the securities dumped
on the stock market for shrewder and far-sighted
investors to buy up.
Fortunes will be made and great fortunes swollen
by the idle fears of those who literally throw away
their securities before the owners of this invested
wealth get rid of their fears and see the prosperity
ahead for this country.
AS a precautionary measure, and to protect Ameri-
investors the board of directors of the New York
Stock Exchange this morning ordered the exchange
closed indefinitely for business The fear of panic
by the avalanche of securities that was
pouring on the money market. The action of the
exchange is deemed both wise and timely The Lon

Incorporation of Egypt and the Su-
dan into the British Empire is fore
seen in domestic and foreign diplo-
matte circles as natural outgrowth
of recent developments in Anglo
Egyptian affairs. In the light OF re-
cent disclosures unusual significance
is being attached to the appointment
four years ago of Lord Kitchener,
admittedly Englands greatest SOL
der and most able administrator, to
the relatively subordinate office of
British minister plenipotentiary at
Cairo.
Long regarded as inevitable in
every capital in Europe, 1t Is believed
that the time has now arrived for the
Transformation of the land of the
Nile from a vassal state of the Otto
man empire into full-fiedged Brit
ish dependency.
1t is generally considered that it
was for the purpose of discussing the
proposed incorporation of the Nile
country into the British empire that
Sir Edward Grey the secretary of
state for foreign affairs, accompanied
King George and Queen Mary on the
occasion of their recent visit to the
French capital.
-Four years ago English power and
prestige were at their very lowest
ebb in Egypt owing to the lamentable
weakness and incompetency of Sir
Eldon Gorst, former British minister
plenipotentiary at Cairo. Matters
had reached such a pass that Eng
fish advice was spurned, English au-
thority derided and any expression OF
the views of King Georges govern

So chaotic and critical was the

ness of the British control and boldls
to assert that Great Britain owed II
to the world either to maintain law
and order there or to get out and

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
JULY 81
Princess of chimay
BY MARY MARSHALL
JULY3
Princess of chinay

Fifteen years ago one of the most
talked-about women in Paris was the
Princess of Chimay. She was the
daughter of Captain Eban B. Ward,
a Canadian, who had settled in Michi-
gan, where he became a millionaire
many times over. Clara Ward, who
was born on July 81, 1878, was a
daughter of his second marriage
Clara was extraordinarily beautiful
and daring TO the point of imperu-
neIce. When she was still very
young woman she married Belgian
nobleman, the Prince de Chimay and
Caraman.
The names OF the Prince and Prin-
cess Chimay came much before the
public at the time of the death of
Prince Baldwin, heir to the Belgian
throne, who died In a mysterious
manner in 1891. The official announce
menr of the young princes death
stated that it resulted from pneu-
monia contracted from occupying too
soon after they had been reprinted
his apartments in one of the chief
royal palaces in Brussels. However,
very few people believed this an
nouncement, and there was talk Of

May Annex Egypt

methodical, deliberate, carefully cal
culated methods he had employed in
preparing the way to the reconquest
of the Soudan from the dervishes in
1898.
Very quietly and without any dis
play of force. he has suppressed
every anti English political movement
with an iron hand, until today the
Nationalist party, so noisy and so
powerful, under the regime of Sir
Eldon Gorst, has virtually ceased to
exist.
Lord Kitchener's personal popu-
larity among the natives of every
class is due to the fact that he Is ac-
cessible to all, from the wealthiest
pasha to the lowest fallah or Copt;
that he can talk to them all in their
language, even in their own dialect;
that, with an unrivaled experienced
and knowledge of native ideas, views,
aims and prejudices, he Is able to de-
termine the character of their COM
plants, and of their petitions; that
he is quick to decide: that his fair
ness is never impugned. and, above
all, that he makes point of provid-
ing for the immediate execution of all
his decisions.
1t is regarded as an absolute GER
tainty that on the day that England
formally annexes Egypt not only the
latter's government bonds but all
other foreign investments In the
khediviate will nearly double in value.
That the khedive will be eliminated
also is regarded as certain, and 1t is
doubtful whether his subjects win
waste much grief over his fate.
The United States will lose it's
capitulations in Egypt when the an
nexation takes place. That will incur
a saving of expenses and responsible
| ity, and any theoretical impairment OF
rights in this connection will be more
than compensated by the enhanced
value of interests and investments In
the Nile valley.
The annexation will have the effec4
of adding 1000 square miles and TO-
| 100000 of population in Egypt alone to
| the British empire, and nearly q.
million square miles, with a popula1
| ton roughly estimated at 4,000.0 900, ii,

earlier than usual this summer in or

ministration about the plans by which
he hopes to bring about in the near
future the annexation of the North
African dependency.

not merely probable. but rather as al
most certain, that before the end of
the year the Turkish. as well as the
khedivial flag. will have disappeared

and undisputed sovereignty.

Boards of aldermen, city councils and

to be muzzled while on the streets.

Walter Clapp was one of the first
| to be appointed as conductor on
| the American railroads. He began
service with the railroad company
which built and operated a line rum
ming southerly from Worcester, Mass,
to Allyns Point on the Thames river,
which has in recent years been
brought into prominence by reason
of its association with the Yale Har-
yard boat races
All his life Mr. Clapp went through
his train taking up tickets and money
while wearing citizens dress,
and unless the weather was very
stormy, a beaver hat. For many
years he took out train which
left Norwich at o'clock in the morn
ing and was scheduled to arrive at
Worcester three hours later. Many
times he carried distinguished men
and made pleasant acquaintance of
them. He often carried Daniel Web
ster.
But perhaps the most interesting
and wildly remembered of all his
experiences occurred on an early
March morning of 1860, when Abra-
ham Lincoln was passenger upon
his train.

foul play. It was common gossip that
Prince Baldwin had become enamored
with the Princess of Chimay at sight,
and as a result of his advances he
had been shot by the enraged Prince
de Chimay, who had been the hus-
band of the beautiful American wom-
an for year.
Tt was In 1896 that the beautiful
Princess de Chimay again focused
the eyes of the public upon her by
clipping with a Hungarian gypsy mu-
stefan named Janos Rigo, who played
in one of the boulevard restaurants
in Paris, and the following year the
outraged Prince de Chimay secured
a divorce from her. BY this divorce
tho prince was given the custody of
the two children and the princess was
allowed to visit them once a month,
always in the company with third
party. She was also charged with the
cost of the divorce proceedings and
required to pay $4,000 year alimony.
After this the one-time princess was
ostracized from the brilliant society
in which she had once shone so
brightly, and in the course of time, 1t
is said, even her gypsy lover deserted
her.

How Reform Works.

There is no moderation in average
reformers. Reform is their business
and they work at 1t all day, and when
one reform is finished, they open
books on another. They never stop
voluntarily any more than the ac-
quisitive people do. What happens is
that when we common dirt have been
reformed all our unregenerate ma
lures can endure, we rise up in our
misery and get clubs and drive the
regulative people off their job and
make them climb trees and hide in
cellars. That is what is called re-
action. When we have done 1t we
have comfort in living for a while.

pies along in troubled course be-
tween the devil of acquisition and the
