RUMANIAN JEWS.
Rabbi Landman Tells of Woes They
are Having.
A searching indictment of the oppression
of the Jews of Rumania, a
history of 300 years of unremitted
civil degradation, was delivered recently
before the Reform Congregation
Keneseth Isral, by Rabbi Isaac
Landman, in a sermon, entitled "A
A I
People Without a Country," says a
Philadelphia exchange. Rabbi Landman
set forth in detail the long
series of acts by which the Rumanian
government has withheld all rights
to citizenship from the Jews native
to that country, recited the successive
failures of their attempts to secure
-
citizenship, and, in conclusion, declared
that the power of public
opinion, expressed by all nations,
alone would be able to solve "this
20th century anachonism of a people
native to the soil on which it lives,
yet without a country."
The treatment of the Jews by Rumanian
statesmen was denounced by
the* speaker as "perfidy" and
"studied infamy," and, in addition
to the refusal of the rights of citizenship
to the 250,000 Jews now resident
in Rumania, the following civil
disabilities were enumerated:
Jews may not own land, live or do
business in villages, or hire out as laborers
upon farms.
Jews may not be employed in the
railroad, postal, telephone or telegraph
service.
Jews may not practice law nor be (
clerks to lawyers.
Jews may practice medicine, but
are not admitted as internes in hos- .
pitals maintained by the government,
nor on medical staffs.
Jews operating factories may have
in their employ Jewish workers to
the number of but one-third of the
total number of their employes.
Jews are taxed for the support of
all schools, but can not be admitted
to them until all Christians have
been accommodated, and then only
v on payment of tuition fees.
Jews may not teach in public
schools or hold chairs in higher insti- J
tutions of learning.
Jews must serve in the army, may *
not rise above the ranks.
Jews may not bid on government
contracts.
Jews may not meet in congress to
discuss any questions whatsover, be- 1
cause only Christians possess the '
right of free assembly.
Jews, being aliens without foreign ]
protection, are vagrants. Vagrants, i
according to law, are to be held with-11
out bail. Courts therefore refuse bail
to Jews arrested for any cause.
Jews are liable to expulsion on 12 1
to 24 hours' notice. Being aliens
withbut protection, they have no re- 1
drees. 1
"Is there, then no power in all the 1
world that can restore the Jews of 1
Rumania to their God-given rights?" 1
asked Rabbi Landman in conclusion. 1
"Is there then, no force in all the
world that can procure for this peo- 1
pie without a country the protection 1
of citizenship in the land for the in- 1
dependence of which they died and 1
for the greater glory of which they
offered their properties and their
lives?"

Some Facts About Hookworm. i
V
The prevalence of this disease in
the Southern States was discovered
by Dr. Stiles in 1902. Work for the
eradication was first begun in 1910, .
and is now being carried on through- .
out the South. Over 500,000 per- (
sons have been treated; 50,000 hav~
V aaw 4 i?nn +r\A in Caii + Vj Pornlino
iUg UCC11 HCO.LCU 1U ovum vui vi '.uu*
The work has been carried on in (
every county except Charleston,
Kershaw and Saluda. Of all persons
examined microscopically, over 30 ,
per cent, were infected; of children
living in rural districts, over 4 6 per
cent, were infected. In fully half of
these cases the infected persons appeared
healthy. The disease is not
hard to cure, but this requires several
doses of medicine. The youngest
person treated was one year of
age; the oldest was ninety-four.
Wherever soil pollution is practiced,
the disease is certain to prevail.
Will these facts suffice to make
our people do their utmost to make
their premises sanitary?
Woman Hidden Out of Town on Kail.
Waukegon, 111., Feb. 3.?Five Women
of Volo, 111., accused of driving
their neighbor, Mrs. John Richardson,
out of the village by riding her
on a rail, to-day were fined $100 each
by Judge Charles Donnelly. None of
the women was able to pay her fine
in court. They were given three days
each to raise the money, during
which time Judge Donnelly will consider
the advisability of inflicting a
jail sentence if the money is not
forthcoming.
Mrs. Richardson had been the subject
of village gossip in which the
name of her brother-in-law was involved.
The women visited her home
late one night, ordered her from the
village and, according to her story,
placed her on a' rail and rode her
from her home.

SLAYS WIFE AND SELF.
Atlanta Man and Woman in Double *
Tragedy.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 6.?A. J. Amozon,
a traveling salesman residing i
here, late to-day shot and killed his r
wife and then committed suicide by t
sending a bullet through his heart. r
The tragedy ocurred near the inter- ?
section of Trinity avenue and White- i
hall street in the heart of the city i
n-iot of Qn far ac Vnntvn thf* c
J uot ai/ kjv 1M1 ?" v V?w ^
shooting was witnessed by few per- i
sons. \
According to one man who claims ?
to have seen the killing, Amozon I
and his wife, who was young and j
attractive, engaged in a brief conversation.
Suddenly, said this wit- (
ness, the man drew a revolver and t
fired three or four times, the woman a
falling to the sidewalk. Amozon then
turned his weapon upon himself, fir- t
ing two shots, one of which passed c
through his heart. Both Amozon and p
his wife were dead before medical 1
aid could reach them. p
Police officials to-night said that l
they had found a note in the dead
man's pocket, apparently written on ]
board a New Orleans to Atlanta p
train in which he is said to have de- 1
clared his intention of killing him- \
self and his wife if she refused to I
return to him. It is said that the
couple separated several weeks ago, a
and that since then Mrs. Amozon p
steadfastly refused to see her hus- r
band. She is supposed to have been t
on her way to her rooms on Trinity i
avenue when her husband met her 1
and presumably endeavored to ob- t
tain an interview. The shooting im- I
mediately followed.
Mrs. Amozon was shot twice, one t
bullet passing through her head, and p
the other through her left shoulder. I

BLACK CAT COSTS HIM A JOB.
1
Engineer Stops Train to Make it Re- s
cross the Track. c
r
Peter Houseman of Alton has lost e
lis job as engineer on the Illinois
Termiel Railroad because a black c
:at sped across the track in front A
)f the train. \ 8
There was no chance of the cp' t
being hit, for it cleared the track t
svell ahead of the engine. Nevertheess
Houseman put on the air brake 1
ind made a sudden stop. When the 2
surprised train crew and passengers *
iooked out they saw the engineer ^
throwing snowballs into an- osage E
ledge tree, wherein was perched the 1
Dlack cat. 2
"What are you doing?" inquired a
;he conductor. 1
"This blamed cat ran across the 1
:rack and I've got to chase it back F
icross again to break the spell," re- 0
sorted Houseman as he gathered *
fresh ammunition. He soon dislodged *
:he cat, which fled back across the 1
:rack. *

National Incendiarism.
It is worth while to save $4,000,- f
000 worth of property from destruc- ^
tion: wherefore tne reaucuon oi uui

aational fire losses by that amount in
1913 as compared with 1912 is cause .
for gratification. But that even with ^
that reduction the total loss last year .
t
was $203,408,250 is a reproach upon
our national efficiency.
In one year Chicago has $6,000,000
of fire losses, while Berlin, a
ii
city practically the same size, has only
$200,000. Is not that a contrast t
which should set Americans to cons
sidering whether we are not suffering
from a sort of national incendiar- c
ism?perhaps involuntary, but be- f
cause of negligence scarcely less criminal
than if it were intentions? ,
t
Does it mean nothing to the American
business man. the economist, or t
the conservationist, that in the last
c
32 years our national fire losses have ^
amounted to more than $5,000,000.000.
or twice as much as all the net ,
public debts of the United States, na- *
tional, State and municipal?

view of fires we should approximate ^
the European freedom from them.
Here every fire is assumed to be innocent
and inevitable unless it is proved
criminal. Over there it is assum- c
ed to be culpable unless it is prov- j
ed innocent. There is a radical dif- ^
ference between those views and
there is as marked a difference in re- j
suits.?New York Tribune. v

which is at the bottom of the note.
Thus mutilated, the notes are packed \
into sacks and kept for five years. 1
when they are burned. A five-year i
accumulation amounts to about 100.- \
000.000 notes. If they were laid in t
a pile they would reach a height of | i
almost seven miles, and they would I
weigh close upon 120 tons. Such an c
accumulation would represent an
original value of over 2,000,000,000 i
pounds. Of course, the number and c
amount varies from year to year. 1
HISTORIC NOTES.
furious Hits of Paper Preserved by
Bank of England.
If the bank notes which have been
ssued by the "Old Lady of Threadleedle
Street" had been gifted with
he power of speech, with what inlumerable
tales of romance, tragedy
ind adventure they could have en iched
the world! says London Titbits.
For instance, there 'is preserved
in the Bank of England
ibrary a five-pound note with these
vords written upon it: "If this note
;ets into the hands of John Dear of
-.onghill, near Carlisle, his brother
vnarew is a prisoner in Aigieia.
This notification was copied into a
Carlisle newspaper and John Dear
hus became aware of the whereibouts
of his long-lost brother.
Among other curiosities in the
>ank library there is a bank note,
lated "19th Xber, 1699," for 555
>ounds. This is the oldest bank note
cnown to be in existence. In ap>earance
and design it is very simiar
to the present day notes.
Another interesting note is one for
L,000 pounds which Lord Cochran
>aid as a fine, imposed upon him for
tis erroneously supposed connection
rith a fraud for raising public funds,
t is endorsed with these words:
"My health having suffered by long
tnd close confinement, and my op>ressors
having resolved to deprive
ne of -property and life, I submit
o robbery to protect myself from
nurder, in the hope that I shall

ice.?Cochrane, Grated Chamber,
ving's Bench Prison, 3 July, 1815."
One of the most unique notes in
he bank collection is one for 25
tounds which was presented and
tonored 111 years after it had been
ssued.
The greatest amount for which a
Sank of England note has been isued
is 1,000,000 pounds. There are
>nly four of these million-pound
LOtes in existence. One is preservtd
in the library of the bank, anothtr
is in the possesion of the Rothsihild
family, a third is owned by
dessrs. Coutts, the famous bankers,
ind the fourth is in the hands of
he descendants of Samuel Rogers,
he poet.
In the production of their notes the
Bank of England authorities first
iim is to issue a note which is im>ossible
for anybody to counterfeit,
^oward the end, all the parts of the
tote?the paper, the water-mark, the
uk, ine engraving, me priunug?
ire prepared and done in a special,
.nd as far as possible, secret manier.
At the mills where the paper
s manufactured the most stringent
irecautions are taken to prevent any
>f the paper being stolen. Of course,
here have been many attempted rob>eries,
but only once, in the year
862, were thieves successful in obaining
any of the paper. Very
liortly afterward forged notes were
n circulation. The thieves did not
tnjoy their triumph long, for withn
a short time they were captured.
The printing is done on the ban*
>remises. The notes are printed in
airs and come off the machine pressid
and dried.
Stock notes of different values
rom 5 pounds to 1,000 pounds, are
:ept in iron safes in one large room,
md Che average value of the stock
s between eighty and ninety milion
pounds. Over 80,000 notes of
arious values are paid into the
iank every day. On their return the
lotes are sorted, first into their
ocnoptivo thpn ppporriine' to
heir dates, and finally into their
tumerical order. Every note has a
dace of its own in the bank regisers
and immediately the notes are
orted their return is registered.
A special staff of examining clerks
levote their attention to detecting
orgeriqs. Of late years there have
lot been many cases of forged notes.
>ut during the eighteenth and early
?art of the nineteenth centuries the
>ank suffered severe losses from
ounterfeit notes. The story of the
irst recorded forgery forms a unique
ihapter in the hook of romance
i. certain linen-draper named
/aughn, was passionately in love
nth a fair maiden whose father was
i man of considerable wealth. The
ove-sick swain knew' that the quick?st
way to win the girl was to give
ome proof that he was a man of
lieans. To this end he employed
everal men to engrave for him a
Sank of England note for 20 pounds.
Yhen twelve of the notes had been
corked off he presented them to his
ady fair. Unluckily the imposition
vas soon discovered, and poor
faughn was hanged.
One of the cleverest and most
vonderful note forgeries was comnitted
by a schoolmaster, who manuactured
the counterfeit entirely with
)en and ink. He also was unforunate
enough to live in the hangng
days. and. the crime being
jrought home to him, he ended his
lays on the gallows.
After returned notes have been
loted in the register they are canceled.
This is done by cutting off
:he signature of the chief cashier
