she did not know-what to makoof the report

generous , fuittiful nnd loving sister. She
nUvajs has boon icgnrdeJ as n most conscl-

all who Jtncw her Miss Wlllard could not
bolicvo Susan Dickinson capable of the base

The plnn for the mud vvbli.li is being raised

Dickinson , nnd that it shall bo kept as n per
manent fun.1 for the purpose of aiding nny

nnd Is no longer able to cnro for herself.
IVllss Wlllard has two letters of recent dito

ScRA7 > Tov , Pa , April 10. Miss Susan
Dickinson was in the city today In consulta
tion with frioiids relative to the statements
innilo by her sister to n reporter in Now
York. Miss Dickinson said bba had tclo-
graphed Dr. Sevvard that ho would bo hold
for damages foi the injury ho is doing her
sister's mind In continuing her delusion ,
nnd nlso that friends in "West Plttston and
vicinity will testify that she has devoted her
life for years to the welfare nnd Interests of
Anna. She answers all the chaigos tnado
against her by Anna nnd snvs the latter has
been demented for some time , but Itvas
onlj when she became vlo'ont ' that sno con
cluded to have her placed In an asylum She
says that Anna was not roughly tieatetl.
In conclusion Susan savB she sees now thnt
hcrfiienJs told her truly when they snld she
wns foolish to devote her llfo to Anna. Horo-
nftor Anna must find fdtbfnl servants
\vliero\crshecin. Miss Susan does not ox-
phdn why , x\hcn the Scranton Kopubllcnn

that ho guessed ho would leave her nml re
turn to Ids other wife , which wns the first In
timation that she had that uo was already
married when she met him A few dajs bc-
fore this , however , she had left tlo bouso to
visit a neighbor living about a half mile
away , leavirg her eighteen month's old boy
asleep In his eridlo. When she returned the
child was gouo and her husband did

"Tho Joivs of Russia are not persecuted , "

The government and _ the church d\vcll in
harmonious sjmpathy. The Jews recog-
n\to \ , and la past times , like the
picsent , they have publicly proclaimed
tbat to the church they are Indebted for
assistance In repelling the persecution of
Jews bv the peasants. Were the govern
ment desirous of per < ecutlii | ? tbo Jews the
church would bo called to assist.
"Wnat persecution ttjero is of the Jews. "
ho went on , "Is by the peasants. It is not a
rncical , neither is it a rehcious one. It Is an
economical persecution. The Jens nro not
producers. They do upt till the soil. They
do no manual labor. Thov aio usurers ,
brokers or saloonkeepers. They charge 400
per cent interest , and the peasants bavin ?
no monej to oav are compelled to work for
them nil the llmo. If they don't ' vvoik they
goto Jail. At the beginning of the eighteenth
centuiv n persecution''ended by the peas
ants rising and exterminating a million Jews
May ho another uprising will occur. There
nro too many Jews to emigrate. If they
would leave the north nnd eastern Hussla

nil vtould bo well. l3ut the government
