If you want to see us alive, send steame

Russian Jews of. this city are dully hear
Ing from relatives living In the empire of
the ciar. '
Horrible descriptions of slaughter and
rapine ara contained in many of the let
ters. A letter from Koloras. Russia, gives
a lurid description of the niassacres which
occurred there and In,' Cmtn, following the
iKsti-iee of the rear a recent manifesto.
According to. the account crowds of brig
( anrts followed the parade which was held
in reiteration or the issuance of the mani
festo, gathered in a mob and placing at
their head a picture of the cxar and a.
r"ros,' emblem of state and church, made
their way to the Jewish quarter where
they at once- began therf' work of murder,
and 'robbery. '' ' ' "
.Driving number. of Jewish children Into
the street they poured karosene on them
and get Ore to them while the mothers were
, obliged to stand by and helplessly listen
' to ,the agonized screams- of their little
ones os they perished in the flames.
,' After making way with the children the
murderer . turned their attention to the
parents and slaughtered them without
merry. Three hundred Jews perished at
rthat, time In Koloras, while In I'mnn 1.000
were, killed. The most horrible cruelties
were practiced by those -who participated
.In the massacre.
Not only did the police refuse te pro
tect or aid the Jewa 'in any way during
the massacres, but many of them even
assisted the assassins In their bloody work.
The student and members of the educated
classes, however, came to tho assistance
of the Jewg and many of them fought
valiantly In their dpfense.

"In. Odessa J rw the troop march down

"The- soldier would charge on their at

hooting them with ball. Wherever th
soldier went they were attacked. The mob,

aid Jtpelf with excitement and its only
purpose, waa to kill the soldier."

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.
c like best to call Scott's
Emulsion a food-medicine. It
is a term that aptly describes
the character ana action of '
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine more than a food,
yet Combining the vital prin
ciples of both. It is for this
reason that Scott's Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value, in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the, troubles of im
perfect growth and delicate
Health in children. The action
of Scott's Emulsion is just as
ffective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

After entering the saloon of William

o'clock laat night and being refueed a glass
of beer a strange mun demanded of the
bartender. James Reynolds, "Why did you
hit my pair- and then, drawing a revolver
from his pocket, deliberately shot and seri

ran through the front door Into the street
where he fired another shot at pedestrians
and 'then, closely pursued by Detectives
Ferris and Dunn a.id Patrolman Shields,

ness and male of freight cars and tracks
of the bottoms.
As soon aa the man emerged from the
saloon, revolver In hand, and started to run
on Ninth street, the officers, who were
standing on the opposite sidewalk, drew
their revolver and called to th fleeing
man to halt, firing after him as they
went in pursuit. The two detectives each
fired three shots, while Shields fired four.
total of ten hots, but o far aa la known
none of them took effect, although Shields
Is under the ' lmpreasion that one of his
bullets went true. The man had but a short
distance to run before reaching the pro
tection of the car and was soon lost to
view.
Reynolds was Immediately attended by
Dr. Frederick Rustln and taken to the
Central hospital, where it waa found that
the ballet had entered the right side of
the throat and passed completely through
the aesophagus. The wounded man was
reported to be In a serious condition last
night, but under proper conditions he
will recover. He Is about 22 years of
age.
No trace of the assailant had been found
up to an early hour this morning. He tiad
been In the saloon a few moments previ
ous to the shooting In company with' two
other men, all from out of the city. They
had been noisy In the saloon and had
been requested to leave by Reynolds. They
compiled under protest but the one who
did the shooting soon returned. Reynolds
declined to serve him any drinks and was
about to turn to the cash register when
the man shot.

MENACE TO NATIONAL LIFE
Haee Snlclde Threaten Serloue Con-
dltlon' In England Thirty
Year Hence.
An American consular report ays: Kng
land's birth rate Is declining. It touched
Its highest point ince registration began
In ltif. in 1374. Today it 1 at it lowest.
The children of the most prolific mothers
those of 1?7S are the moat unproductive
mother. The reason assigned for the
frightful decline Is "tho decay of the
maternal Instinct." Only 75 pet- cent as
many little one ee the light now, or re
main In it, as suw It thirty years ago.
No one factor, however, can account for
the entire falling off.
The fact 1 there are many cauae. Nota
bly among the moat prominent ia the ad
vanced age at which persons marry and the
fact that a great many never marry. Pre
vious to 187H the marriage rate wa HI to
ITS per 1,000. Today It la UH. The claim
made for year by leading economists that
population wa supposod to vary with the
food supply I doubled. It falls to hold
good In Kngland. fur at no time in the
past wa food so cheap or so abundant
as It is today.
i'ossimy, saya one writer, rent, the
rates and taxes have more to do with the
queatloii than ha the price of wheat."
The fact of the matter Is, the question Is
beyond the best men In the?niplre. It baf
fles everybody from the .umblert to the
highest. In the fight for first place that is
on, It means, or may mean, a great deal
to England whether her birth rate I small
or large. A short crop of little ones In
1905 and In each succeeding year means a
short crop of men for the army, navy,
mills, shops, farm, nli i pa. factories and
colonies of England Iwenty-flve or thirty
years hence.
