She be longs to the City, State and National Federation of Women ’s Clubs. Miriam Michelson is known to the general public through her newspaper work and books. The first book of hers to create attention was “In the Bishop’s Carriage”—since then she has written several books, all of them being suc cessful. Emma Wolf, of San Francisco, is an other well known Jewish woman. She is the authoress of “Other Things Being Equal,” “A Prodigal in Love,” “The Joy of Living” and “Heirs of Yester day.” “Other Things Being Equal” and “Heirs of Yesterday,” are both stories of Jewish life.

Bianca Froehlick, a Jewish woman of most pronounced beauty, is a leader of the ballet at the Metropolitan. Another great singer, of whom very little is heard in this country, although it is her birthplace, is Madame Fanny Francisca. She takes her name from the city of her birth. It really is Michelson. She has sung almost exclu sively at the Royal Theater in Amster dam. where she is a protege of the young Queen of Holland. Dr. Josephine Walter was the first Jewish woman doctor in New York.

Huskey, whose work as a translator is well known; Mrs. Jacob 11. Hecht, who founded the Industrial School in Boston, and Katherine M. Cohen, tin; sculptor, are other prominent Jewesses. America's Duty (Continued From First Page.) Jewish people, at the least calculation, relatives of the thousands of murdered Jews in Russia, marched through the streets in my Congressional district, clothed in sober black and crape, in a great mourning funeral procession for the martyred dead in Israel. It was one of the most striking, and one of the most pathetic scenes in all the history of the city of New York. Sadness and misery were written on every face. Bystanders took off their hats, bowed their heads in sympathy, and shed tears of sorrow. Nothing like it ever occured before — Israel weeping and mourning for her dead—and I hope nothing like it will ever occur again in this land or any other. But the murders go on. A veritable reign of terror exists. The black hand of ignorant fanaticism, race hatred, and religious bigotry has been raised throughout Russia against the law abiding, peaceable, and defenseless Jews, and the barbaric work of l’apine, plunder, outrage, and assassination con tinues and increases until even the heart less and hardened and superstitious Cossack is sickened by the bloody and ruthless scenes. Thousands and thous ands of helpless men, women and chil dren are being slaughtered before the very eyes of civilization, and not a power lifts its voice in protest or raises a hand in condemnation. The facts— such as we get—are blood curdling and the numbers of the dead are appalling. Nothing like it ever occurred in all the annals of time. It is a big, blood-red page in human history—a gigantic crime against a common humanity—and Rus sia must be forced to stop it. llow, do S'^pi)iHpsbori)!sj™ | 720*724 <6H) bt- Ptnwr.
