The Power of the Jews. Extensive preparations are on foot for the celebration, beginning November 25, of the 250 th anniversary of the settlement of the Jews in the United States. The year 1655 was noteworthy for the issue by the Dutch East India company of a grant of privileges which gave the first legal recognition to the immigration of what was then almost a universally proscribed race. A party of 23 Portuguese Jews, which had fled from Brazil to New Amsterdam, was allowed to stay, with civil and political rights. From this little germ has grown the greatest Jewish colony in the world. New York's Jewish population—672,77G—being larger than that of any other city. Lodz, in Poland, comes next, with 150,000, and Vienna is third. London has 138,860, which is but 2.1 per cent of its total population. Of the 11,000,000 Jews in the world, 1,500,000 are in this country. It is an acquisition of which this country may well be proud and to which it owes very much of its greatness. The Jew has been well lo the front in all the great movements that have developed the coun try and built up the nation. The celebration of his coming might fitly be participated in, not by Jews alone, but by all of us. A mighty people were the Jews in the olden time. But a mightier people still are they today. The Jew is more numerous today than in his greatest days, proudly conscious that without a country, an army, or a common vernacular, without the possibility of combination, he yet remains in control of the world's destinies, a perpetual witness to the truth of his own words, "The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong." The literatures of the world are saturated in his literature. The laws of Slav, Saxon and Celt are founded on Jewish laws. We give thanks in the words of the Jewish poets; we deliver our souls in adversity in Hebrew lamentations; one day in seven, believers and skeptics in every country rest or make merry according to the decrees of Moses; the rainbow still brings to the minds of all lands the Jewish story of the creation and the flood; the conscience of civ ilization has been molded in a Jewish school. The stories of David and Jonathan, Ruth and Boaz, have become idyls with people ignorant of their own literature. The songs of Zion delight millions that know nothing of the mod ern poets. Yes; mighty has been the Je wthrough all time. But mightier is he today than ever beiore. He cannot forget that he once was and still is the great "broker of ideas" and that the nations have exclaimed with his own prophet as they threw themselves on his spiritual treas ures, "O God, in these things men live and in all these things is the life of the Spirit." A Big City's War on Tuberculosis. There are 28,000 cases of tuberculosis In New York city, and the rapid increase of the disease in recent years has alarmed those whose duty it is to guard the health of the city. In the congested districts of the mertopolis the spread of the white plague has sent 5,000 sufferers to the hospitals, and the number of afflicted is increasing so rapidly that the question of their care has become a most serious one. To com bat the encroachment of the disease the city government has st aside $250,000 for a free tuberculosis camp in the Shawangunk mountains In Orange county. Nine farms, spreading over 1,290 acres, form the site that has been acquired. The immense tuberculosis camp will bo under the direction of a specialist, acting in conjunction with a special ad visory board of physicians of the health department. Some of the features of the municipal sanitarium will be: Treatment will be free. Only incipient cases will be received. Patients will be provided with employment of some kind. Cures will be effected in from three to six months, unless the dis ease is too far advanced. Fresh air, sunlight and outdoor exercises will be the principal medi cine. Eggs, vegetables and milk will be supplied by the patients on the farm. Young men and women wage earners with tuberculosis in its early stages will be educated so they may return to work in the city and cure themselves in their homes and without endangering the thousands with whom they come in contact. Patients who are taken to camp and do not improve after a certain time will be returned to the city or sent to the hospitals. The ravages of tuberculosis are increasing every year, and it may be in time that the state and nation will take up the work that has been begun by the municipality. Tuberculosis now causes about one seventh of the deaths throughout the world. Its clinical features were recognized many centuries ago, and Hippocrates and Galen described them very accurately, but it was not until the growth of anatomical Study in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that the characteristic lesions were recognized and associated with the disease. In spite of all efforts to stay the ravages of the disease it is be coming probably the greatest menace to the health of the human race. G. BERNARD SHAW SAYS HE IS PROUD OF THAT PLAY.

GLASS JARS FOCUS SUN RAYS SETTING EIRE TO A HOUSE Old Sol's Beams Shining Through Preserve Bottle Cause Costly Blaze. REDDING, Cal., Nov. 9. — The sun's rays concentrated by a cou ple of preserve bottles left stand ing on a table near a window set fire to the residence of Perry W. Mark across the river from Red ding and spread so rapidly that, though the owner of the house was at work in the garden several hun dred feet away, he was unable to save even a piece of clothing. The preserve bottles, both empty, were set in such a manner that the sun's rays penetrated both and focused in a small spot such as is made by a "burning glass" on the table on which they stood. The remark able heat generated is shown by the fact that the wooden top of the table was ignited and flames spread in a remarkably short time to the window curtains and sot fire to the frame work of the building. WHO WILL 60 EAST WITH BONOS There is a fight on between Comptroller Fairley and Treasurer Eggleston as to which will get the job of delivering the $450,000 worth of water bonds to the buyers in the city of Chicago.

Mayor Daggett will probably decide to take them, as both Fairley and Eg gleston withdrew from the race when the mayor's name was men tioned. IIWM-GKATSON COHERENCE (Eerlpps News \ssoctatlnn.)

An other important question is that concerning the best methods of attracting desirable immigration to the south, while discouraging and excluding undesirable immigration. (Scrlpps News Association.) BOMBAY, Nov. 9.—The British battleship Renown, with the prince and the princess of Wales and their distinguished party on board, ar rived here today. The whole city was in holiday attire and presented a magnificent spectacle.

IBJJS SPOKANE PRESS PRINCE IN INDIA RUSH FOR LANDS Dick Lewis and Joe Gregg, who are to fight before the Pastime club as a preliminary to the Park er-Thompson go, signed articles yesterday for the winner to take all.

A good fight can be expected from these two men. © ® ® Frankie Neil Is after a fight with Harry Tenny in Los Angeles soon and, it is reported, would like to make a side bet he can stop Tenny before the limit round. Neil can claim the bantamweight championship now as Jem Bowker has outgrown that clasfl. It is pos sible that the Pacific Athletic club will match the two to go for the world's championship. ® ® 9 Hard, fast work for the high school boys is laid out for this afternoon. It will be the last prac- SPORTING BREVITIES Terry McGovern's manager de cines to match the "Terrible Ter ry" against Jimmy Britt, holding off for a meeting with Battling Nel son. There is no particular reason to suppose that Nelson will take on Terry for some time to come, and a fight between McGovern and Britt would greatly stimulate inter est in a meeting between the win ner of such a match with Nelson. If Terry really has come back there is no excuse for his refusal to meet Britt. As a matter of fact, it has yet to be demonstrated that Terry is in his old time form. In his fight with Tommy Murphy less than three minutes actual fighting took place. Murphy is only a third rater, and did not administer suf ficient punishment to demonstrate whether Terry can still stand the gaff in a give and take battle such as he would go against, in a meet ing with Nelson. The proposition to shorten the baseball season is goining favor, and it now looks as though the regular schedule may be cut a month or six weeks. The newest plan contemplates that each club of one leageu shall play a series of four games with each of the other leagues, and then the pen nant winners will play six games for the championship. A 12-round contest between Tommy Murphy and Jimmy Dunn will take place before the Nonpar ell A. C. at Sharon, Pa., next Mon day night. By Jas. A. Hart. Written especially for Tho Press. (Copyright, 1905, by the News paper Enterprise Association.) ARTICLE IV. Players' salaries were very low in the early days of baseball, $75 to $100 per month being considered as good. The schedules were short and only three games per week were played by each team. Charlie Comiskey was signed by Yon der Ahe, of St. Louis, in 1883, at a salary, if my memory servos me right, of $75 per month. That was multiplied by 20 before he quit St. Louis, and I may add that lie earned it all. The success of the American as sociation brought new life to the National league; they again ad mitted Philadelphia, and New York and midseason failures were not so frequent as formerly. This put some other ambitious people to thinking, and in 1884 the Union association was organized, backed by Harry V. Lucas, a St. Louis man of wealth. A three-cornered fight was started which brought the Na tional league and American associ ation nearer together, and soon the Union association, with the excep tion of the St. Louis club, which was admitted to the National league, was all that was left of the rival league.

Coach Smith will keep several of the first team out of the practice for fear of fur ther injuries. Carl Morton, one of the guards, has a bad shoulder but will play In the game Saturday, and Fotheringham, a fast little end, will play if Coach Smith will let him, even though his doctor for bids. While the boys are at practice out in the park, the students will be learning the yells at the school. Rob Philips and Roy Low are the yellmasters. They have instructed the entire student body to report at the game, with horns and voice, to try and encourage their team to victory. s ® a The people of Spokane will have a chance to see the Britt-Nelson fight in moving pictures on Decern- Terre Haute lost $1,500 on the season in the Central Baseball league, but will stay by it another year in hopes of landing a winner. "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien has signified a willingness to meet Bob Fitzsimmons, and as Fitz has said he would fight anything or anybody that walks on two legs, the chances for them getting together are good. The fight probably will be pulled off in California. Jockey Tod Sloan is considering an offer to go on the stage to take the part now played by Geo. M. Cohan in "Little Johnnie Jones." The part is that of an American jockey who has been set down by the English judges on suspicion of foul riding in the Derby. Cohan is to produce another play as soon as he finds an acceptable player for his present part. Columbia need not feel so badly over its riot with Wosleyan. Two football teams at Mahanoy City, Pa., got into a free-for-all light and the 3000 spectators joined in the fray. Two players and 14 spec tators were injured. The trouble started when the quarterback of one team punched the nose of the right tackle of the other team. A blow over the heart killed Chas. O'Reagan in a boxing contest with Fred Northrup at St. Johns, N. B. The referee and seconds were arrested, but will probably be released. The Evolution BASE BALy inio ihe, tract Jumping was indulged in by the players, the Cleveland National league club being the greatest suf ferer at that time from that cause. The Quickest jump on record was made by Catcher Tom Dolan, of of the St. Louie Browns —the Am erican association club—to the St. Louis Maroons —the Union associa tion club. The parks of the two clubs were in the same neighbor hood in St. Louis. Doasley, the other catcher on the Browns' team, was a very eccentric fellow of whom Uolan was very jealous. Deasley announced that he was not feeling well, and for that reason would not catch that day. This was pie for Uolan, whose bones ached to get iv the game, as his rival was doing nearly all the catching and taking all the ap plause, which his excellent work caused. It proved, however, that Ueasley's illness was not genuine, for when the gong called the Browns to practice he took his place near the plate, putting poor Uolan, who was in uniform, in a most embarrassing position. Uolan realized his plight, became angry, made a bolt for the street and started for the rival park on the run, reaching there in time to go in and catch for the Lucas team, though he was in a Yon der Ahe uniform. The next fight of Importance was the Brotherhood war of 1890, which was disastrous to all persons who had money invested In professional baseball. This was followed by the war between the National league, which had conquered the Brother hood league, and the American as sociation. In 1891 this war was settled by the formation of the 12- --club league known as the National League and American Association Mil, FngMSmg, ber 7 and 8 at the Spokane theater. J. W.

Merrltt states there will be baseball at Recreation park in the spring, and that it will be of such quality that the people will be pleased. Just what kind of an alliance Merrit and his friends" have made is now conjectural, and Mer ritt is silent on that point. How ever, two ball teams here In the spring are now promised. of Professional Baseball clubs. The membership of the league was eventually reduced to eight clubs, which left so many vacant cities that the Western league, un der the guiding hand of Ban John son, took in the vacated cities, changed its name to the more high sounding one of American league, repudiated the national agreement, and again war was on, and much montiy was lost, as is usual in base ball wars. But peace was again established, and today baseball Is on the best basis it has ever had. The organization extends to all parts of the United States, includ ing 30 leagues and nearly DOOO players. More people have attended base ball games during the season just closed than ever before in any one season. Kulea are good, the game is in teresting and popular, and lias gained an undisputed right to the title of "The national game of Am erica." During all these history-making events, and all the years of my life prior to this history, I have never played in a game of baseball, pro fessional or amateur. I have never thrown a ball 100 feet; have never caught a ball, thrown or batted Mil feet. Some body had to be on the cold-blooded, sordid business side, and that was ,whore I, by merest chance, cast my lot in baseballdom. WHO IS SHE? PARIS, Nov.
