THE CHARITABLE JEW.

Was there ever such dcmonstra- tion of magnanimity and charitable ness as was given by the Jewish peo- pie Thursday night at Carnegie hall,1 New York city. where almost $2,500,- 0G0 was pledged toward fund for the relief of Jewish war victims in Europe. This is one fourth of the amount 1t is sought raise in the campaign, launched at the meeting,
 Jacob H. Schiff of New York. al. ready famed for his philanthropies and Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, al most as well-known, contributed Sl00,000 eath. These were largest subscriptions. Other donations came from all parts of the country. and there must have been enough made to make up approximately $2.3o0,000
 The dispatches say that rich and poor, old and young, struggled for admission" to the hall where the meeting was held, and that prosper ous business men rubbed shoulders with struggling immigrants who brought their families to learn what they could do;" that "Women and girls who toll all day went dinner less that they might be on hand early"
 Was there ever suca a picture of free-hearted charity as this? What subject for the brush of the artist thousands of people of all stations ill American life, surgins forward tc heed the cry of their suffering brothers and sisters across the seas
 There's nothing surprising in this to those who know the real Jew, who can always be relied upon to succor the Jews charities arc not limited by lines of creed or race. He is as quick to aid the Christian as he is the Jew. as ready to help al Englishman, Frenchman or Spaniard, as he is {. Hebrew. It is the need and not the individual to which he administers, and this is true charity.
 Without difficulty many of us can recall instances of benefactions by Jewish citizens, especially of the South. Some of us have been told how during the war between the states Southern Jews fed many pf their neighbors, and clothed others. And So on down the lane of years until now. The Jew is always the same tolerent and charitable.
 Despite that the great demonstra- tion in New York was to be expected of the Jew, ii is none the less praise worthy. Considering that the dry came from afar. and that difficulty is sc be expected in raising such sum, the contribution Of $2.500,000 at one meeting is remarkable, especially as more than s6,00oooo has already !. been raised by the Jews for the relief of war victims.
 Once more has the Jew exemplified ir practical manner his belief that the greatest of the virtues is charity.
 Let him be accorded the credit that
