We Jews have given the world the
idea of human brotherhood. "1ave
we not all one father? Has not one
God created us all? p asks the prophet.
But, like many another religious doc
trine and ethical phrases, it has gained
common currency, has been banded
about, has become a commonplace,
has been worn thread-bare, without
leading to anything practical or tan
gjble 1t has been largely matter
Of lip profession. The present Euro
pean wholesale butchery and many
deplorable social and economic phe-
nomena nearer home, show how neg
ligible the real effect of this noble
doctrine has been upon human hearts
and minds.
At the same time some signs ap-
pear here and there indicative Of a
tendency to make the sublime idea Of
human brotherhood more than pious
phrase. Among these signs is the Big
Brother movement launched some
time ago and spreading with remark
able rapidity. 1t is in response to the
need of some attention that society
must give to the hayward and delin-
quent boy problem that is becoming
SO troublesome in all large cities.
Generally the hayward boy is the
result of parental helplessness, or Of
lack of supervision from any quarter,
or of bad home surroundings, or evil
neighborhood influences, or seductive
companionship. To redeem such
boy requires friendly companionship
and advice, kindly guidance and di-
rection, a brotherly interest in his
problems and difficulties and a good
manly example, Any young man of
good habits, common sense, gentle dis
position, and broad sympathy can take
hold of such boy, win his confidence,
attach him to himself, act toward him
as would real brother, and put him
on the right road. Sometimes the
boy may need little assistance, help
in securing profitable employment, or
in obtaining the advantages Of further
education. The Big Brother must
have the leisure, the energy, the
means to supply that, too. But it
should not be difficult to find the

A Practical Application of the Idea of Brotherhood
By DR.. S. N. Deinard


necessary number of such young men
to take care of all the not incorrigi-
bly, bad boys of any community. And,
as is the case with all true charity, or
with the quality of mercy, the Big
Brother philanthropy has the power
of blessing the giver as we'll as the
recipient. 1t acts as a noble influence
in the life of many young man, who
aside from the ordinary routine Of
business or professional duty, has no
wider outlook and no serious purpose
in life.
The Big Brother movement is des-
tined to grow and to expand, and to
cover an ever widening sphere. There
is no reason why it should not give
rise to Big Sister movement, to &C
complisf the same result for the way
ward girls of the community That
we consider even more necessary and
more beneficial to society than the
Big Brother idea Is there not some
women's organization in the Twin
Cities to inaugurate and to sponsor
it?
And is there not in this idea the
ultimate solution of Our organized
charity problems. Modern organized
charity has two evils to contend with,
evils inherent in the system ITSELF
First, the perennial lack of funds to
meet all the demands for relief made
upon the charity organization. The
larger the community, the larger the
number of those who escape making
a contribution. When each neighbor-
hood, each section, had it's own char
ity society, the chance of exemption
from contributing was smaller Now
an organized communal charity that
should have a thousand contributing
members, has less than half that num-
Der, and in spite of the very generous
donations and subscriptions of some,
is always in need of funds.
Secondly, the wide gulf that sep
arates the giver from the recipient in
modern organized charity attenuates
the bond of sympathy between the
two classes. The rich man does his
charity by proxy. He prefers not to
have any contact with the poor. And
yet it is the actual sight of suffering

60 COTTAGES DESTROYED.
BY Fire Which Swept Through Camp
Grounds at Epping, NJ H.

Epping. n H., Oct. Sire Of undc
termined origin swept over the Heddin2
camp grounds, near this town last night
destroying 90 cottages and causing a
property loss estimated at $4,000. A
majority Of the buildings burned had
been closed for the summer, and there
was no loss of life,
There were nearly 400 cottages on the
grounds, which in former times had been
used for Methodist camp meetings. The
fire started shortly after 7 80, in the un-
occupied cottage of DR. Ira Chase of Ha-
yerhill, Mass. The flames had passed be-
vond all bounds before one of the ten re-
naming campers discovered the fire, and
iiremen who arrived from Exeter, Epping
and Newmarket in response to telephone
calls for assistance, found themselves
handicapped by lack of water. The sole
source of supply in the entire camp is
deep well, and from this the firemen drew
water, which they passed along by buck
ct brigade. A chemical engine from Exc
ter did good service, but the rest of the
apparatus was useless.
Dynamite was finally used in a sue
eessful effort to check the flames A line
of cottages directly across the course Of
the fire was blown to atoms. and with
the aid of this barrier the fremen were
finally enabled to get the upper hand.
William Fuller, an Epping fremen, re-
ceived severe cuts on the wrist when he
plunged his hand through window pane.

also the seasons mark for pacing geld
ings
All the races to-day were decided by
straight heats.
Lee Axworthy's performance was the
sterling effort of the week. The son of
Guy Axworthy never faltered in travel
ing his mile, maintaining his speed un-
til he reached the wire. His fastest quar-
ter was the third which he trotted in
2S1A seconds. A stiff wind almost full
up the stretch hindered him in the last

| Trial of Eusebio Albano, indicted by
the grand jury in session last week for
assault with intent to kill Luigi Cheruti,
was commenced this forenoon in Wash
cases to be tried at the present term, hav-
ing been finished yesterday afternoon
when verdict for the defendant was re-
turned in the case of Edgar Taft vs..
Simeon Swerdferger, both of Marshfield.

A shooting affray, which occurred Sum-
day morning, July 2 on Webster avenue,
Barre, in which Albano, it is alleged,
shot and wounded. although not serious
", Luigi Cheruti, is the cause of Albano's
indictment. He was arraigned this morn
ing before Judge Frank l., Fish and
pleaded not guilty.
Albano and his wife, according to the
hn S+at
were not living together at the time OF
the alleged shooting and Cheruti was a
boarder at the home of Mrs. Albano on
Webster avenue. The state asserted that
it would endeavor to show that Albano
went to the Webster avenue house
through back streets, shot Cheruti at the
house almost Immediately upon his ar
rival and after a scuffie in which Cheruti
took away the revolver from HIS assail-
ant, Albano disappeared. 1t will be re-
called that Albano was later located in
New York City and brought back to
Vermont. He has been out on bail of
$4,000.
Cheruti was the first witness put on
by the state this forenoon and told his
version Of the alleged assault. The serv-
ices of an interpreter will evidently be
necessary throughout the trial
Cheuti's cross examination had not
been finished when the court took a
recess at noon. The efforts of the de-
tense were to prove that Albano's pur-
pose in going to the house was to order
-'heruti to leave and that Cheruti de-
Jared he would shoot Albano The de-
'ense then, will probably be that Albano
ired in self defense against Cheruti who
