found to be suffering from serious wound
over the left temple, an inch in length,
and extending to the bone. The little finger
OF his left hand was also wounded By

An examination of Mrs. Grossly was made.
She was found lying on her back, her head
turned to the left, her right leg and hip un-
covered. She had been dead probably three
quarters of an hour. Blood had flowed from
her mouth, staining the pillow under the
left side of her head, and there were spots
OF blood on the sheet. On the neck of
the dead woman were the prints
of the thumb and fingers of the
murderer. She had evidently been
strangled before she could utter cry,
and the bed-clothing had been partially
thrown from her in her convulsive struggles
to escape from her brutal assailant. The
shooting had been done with Crosly's own
pistol. A search of the room showed that
$27 had been taken from Crosly's own over
alls with some other plunder. The general
belief was that the crime had been commit
ted by tramps, and large force of men are

and the managers of the Manhattan beach
resort have the undOubted right to refuse to
entertain whoever they choose, negroes ex-
cepted, but it seems to US that by discrimin-
atlng against race as old as history, that
numbers some of the brightest intellects,
the most noble and honorable characters
upon its roll of fame, and that constitutes
large and wealthy element of our business
community, they are not only short
sighted, but the victims of disgraceful big
otry. We do not believe these acts will de-
grade any member of the Jewish race in the
eyes of any sensible man, but are sure that
they will inspire a thorough and abiding
contempt for the persons guilty of such un-
republican bigotry.


Each man and woman has private likes
and dislikes, with which no one has any
concern. It is possible that the Hebrews
who have been visiting Manhattan beach en-
tertain dislike for the Christians who have
congregated there. What would be said if
the managers had issued an edict forbidding
the presence there of Christians? Would it
not have been denounced as system of per-
secutlon all over the world? Yet it would
be no worse than the attempt made to drive
the Israelites away-would have as little
warrant in common sense and as little au-
thority of law.


If the Hebrews as class were in the habit
of rendering themselves obnoxious or of re-
fusing to pay their bills for entertainment,
some reason might be found for refusing to
accommodate them. But in such respects they
are above reproach, and their ostracism is a
despicable act of persecution which admits
of no more defense than the more extreme
prosecutions of the race in Roumania and
Turkey, or the edicts issued against the de-
scendants of Abraham during the middle
ages. We are sorry that such an exhibition of
intolerance has been manifested during the
last quarter of the nineteenth century, and
in country which boasts its freedom and
the equality of all men before the law. We
can only attribute it to species of igno-
rant prejudice which is as deplorable as it is
worthy of condemnation.

The assessments Of real and personal prop

tie over 100000, against 1882, 100000

neglect of duty on the part of assessors. We
can hardly believe that property has depre-

OSTRACISM 1T THE Watering
Places


A senseless and in every way reprehensible
crusade is going on at some of the Eastern
watering places, having for it's purpose the
exclusion of the Hebrews from the pleasures
of spa and shore. The Manhattan Beach
company, which has recently fitted up re-
sort for pleasure seekers, on Coney Island,
is now discussing means through which it
can keep the Israelites from patronizing the
place. The managers assert that the patron
age of this class is an injury to them, and
that they do not want to be compelled to
permit their association with other guests to
whom their presence is obnoxious. We pre-
sumo the hint will be sufficient to our He
brew brethren, for we are sure they do not
wish to obtrude themselves where they are
not wanted, and can find plenty of other
places where their patronage and presence
will be welcomed.


We confess to being at loss to know the
reason for this social ostracism of the He
brews. As race they are honorable, po-
lite and cultivated. There may be excep-
tions, it is true, but they are no more nu-
merous than in other classes. Those who can
afford to visit watering places are liberal in
their expenditures, prompt in their pay
ment of bills, and considerate of the COM
fort of others. 1t is true, as claimed by the
president of the Manhattan Beach company,
that they demand full equivalent for the
money they expend, but this is nothing
more than just, and place of resort which
gives second-class entertainment while ex-
torting frst-class pay is not deserving of
patronage from any class of people. The
very complaint made against the Jews is an
evidence of the unworthiness of the resort
from which it is proposed to exclude them.


We are surprised, to say the least, at this
second manifestation of race prejudice.

Private Fisher had remained through all his trials stout, fresh and hearty, in teresting in appearance and so gentle hammered and uncomplaining that we all loved him. Supported on his crutches he had walked up and down his ward for the first time since he was wounded, and seemed almost restored. That same night he turned over and ur- tered ar exclamation of pain.

 Following the nurse to his bed, and turning down the covering, small jet of blood spurted up. The sharp edge of the splintered bone must have sever ed an artery. instantly put my finger on the little oritice and awaited the sur geon. He soon came-took long look and shook his head. The explanation was easy; the artery was imbeddedin in the feshy part of the thigh and could not be taken up. No earthly power could save him.

 There was no object in detaining Dr. -. He required his time and his strength; and long I sat by the boy, un- conscious himself that any serious trouble was apprehended. The hardest trial of my duty was laid upon me; the necessity of telling man in the prime of life and fullness of strength that there was no hope for him.

 It was done at last, and the verdict received patiently and courageously, some directions given by which his mother would be informed of his death, and then he turned his questioning eyes upon my face.

 "How long can live ?"

 "Only as long as I keep my finger upon this artery" A pause ensued. God alone knew what thoughts hurried through that heart and brain, called so unexpectedly from all earthly hopes and ties. He broke the silence at last;

 "You can let go"-

 But could not. Not if my own life had trembled in the balance. Hot tears rushed to my eyes. a surging sound to my ears, and deathly coldness to my lips. The pang of obeying him was spared me, and for the first and last time during the trials that surrounded me for four years, I tainted away.

 Health Hints.

 DYSPEPSIA suffering from dyspepsia can often digest raw eggs when the stomach is too weak to receive and retain anything else. They are al- ways very nourishing and strength-giv- ing. To CURE HoARsENEss. this sea son of colds, it may be useful to know that hoarseness is relieved by using the white of an egg, thoroughly beaten, mixed with lemon juice and sugar. A teaspoonful taken occasionally is the dose.

 FoR CRouP.-In. the far West they have what they consider specific for croup. It is very simple. Take piece of lard as big as a butternut. rub it full of sugar, divide into three parts, and give at intervals of twenty minutes; the croup will disappear gradually, but surely.

 To INSURE SLEEP.-If troubled with wakefulness, follow these rules: Eat nothing hearty after sunset; calm your mind before retiring; go to bed at regular hour; when you wake, rise and dress at once, no matter how early in the morning; never sleep in the day. These five rules observed will insure sleep.

 THE EEYEsIeHT.-Sooner or later our eyesight must become impaired. When beginning to use glasses. use them as short time as possible, only in deficient light, or on minute objects, and then change the strain to distant or larger ob- jects. Bya judicious attention to these , two points, the ageing of the sight will be retarded years. And, as reading is one of the luxuries of the age, and one of its most delightful pastimes, we cannot be too careful of the eyesight, and should study how to husband its powers.

So much has been said within the last few years of the value of the eucalyptus, or Australian gum tree, ln destroying or neutralizing the miasma of ualarial districts, that it would be well that ex- periments be made with various plants for this purpose, especially those hav- ing large. and particularly those having downy leaves, as we'll. The common sunfower is we'll known for it's so-called value in preventing the bad effects of miasma. There are undoubtedly many others as good, and that may as easily be grown. Marshy lands are harmless if the vegetation in decaying does not give off putrescent gases, for mere moist ure is not unhealthy. Hence marshes become pestiferous if accumulations of vegetable matter exist, which, under the effects of sufficient heat and moisture, give off putrefying matter. In the North marshes are not deadly, for the reason that the summer heat is not sufi- cient, as rule, to produce putrid fer mentation to degree sufficient to pro- duce any but the lighter forms of ma laria diseases.

 The business of plants is to pump up and utilize those noxious matters, and utilize them in their structure, while at the same time they give off oxygen by their leaves. Hence, marshes which abound in a variety of plants are not usually deadly. The most noxious are those which dry up in the summer and leave the mud exposed to the action of the sun. Hence, the most potent means of obviating it's effects is to plant the margins with some broad-leafed trees, and preferably those that are pubesceni or downy, as the basswood. We have

 before this advised the planting of sun. l flowers in miasmatic neighborhoods, and

 season. We also hope that those who

 do so will make the results public. -
