The Jews in Russia.

Last Sunday night ,at his church
(Trinity) in Washington, Rev. Dr.
Childs told of the persecutions of the
Jews in‘Russia and its results. He drew

a vivid picture of the atrocities be-
ing - perpetrated by the Russians
upon the Hebrew citizens within
her borders. Attention had been called
anew to this subject by the preSence in
Washington of a young lady who had
made her escape from that land of her.-
rors and come here to tell the story of‘
the trials and oppression of her people.

After getting fairly into his subject
he paid there Was now ready to be sub-
mitted to Congress the report of a com-
mitee that was sent to Europe to invest-
igate the immigration quest-ion, and if
that report was what he understood it
to be, he thought it should be given to
the public without delay, as it threw a
great deal of. light upon this subject.
During his discourse Dr. Childs took
the ground that it might possibly be
questioned whether our sending aid to
Russia was a blessing or a curse. ‘

If that charity is the means of reliev-
ing the suffering which is the result of
the negligence and mismanagement of
a tyrannical government, if it is used to
alleviate this condition and thereby
strengthen the hands of the Czar and
permit his despotic government to cre-
ate and maintain vast military
and naval preparations then the

’ question ought "to be met first as
last and the answer given as to
whether it is a work of kindness or of
supreme cruelty. If for every person
saved, America aids in the final out-
come, in destroying a hundred others,
then her charitably inclined should stop
and think whether what they are doing
is the wisest and best thing to do.

Referring to the past, Dr. Childs said
that while it was true that Russia was
hostile to the sympathy of England for
the South during the war, we, as a na-
tion, had reciprocated for all it was.
worth. America is the friend of the hu-
man race; Russia its bitterest enemy.
The persecution of the Jews was due,he
thought, to three reasons—economical
and political, but more largely reli-
gious. The thrift and enterprise of the
Jew were such that the native Russian
had no chance in the competition. It
was easier for him to crush the Hebrew
and enter into his prosperity, than to
rise by his own exertions. From a po-
litical standpoint it was claimed that the
Jews were not loyal, a claim that was
the veriest kind of a makeshift.

The real reason for the persecution
was the Greek Church, the most igno-
rant. superstitious, and degraded form
of perverted Christianity. To this cari-
cature of religion the Jew presents
himself as something to be either con-
verted or destroyed. Not being desir-
rous of conversion, the destruction of
the Jew follows.

Dr. Childs then in a fervid manner
told the story of the horrors of the'per-
secutions, his story being madeJup from
newspaper reports, statements of pub-
lic men, and sights he had himself wit-
nessed within the dreaded district of
the “ pale.”

In conclusion, he took the view that
if Russia did not heed the solemn pro-
tests of Christian nations she, too,would
be the victim of plagues like those God
visited upon Pharaoh and the Egyp-
tians for the treatment of his ancient
people. The famine now prevalent in
Russia he looked upon as a visitation of
this kind, and said that the Czar might
well readthe lesson in the sullen sign
of the Red Sea, and the disaster that
overtook the Egyptians. Spain had
done as Russia was now doing, and her
glory began to lose its luster with this
persecution. Her: epoch was 1492, when
Columbus discovered America and
Queen Isabella issued the edict that
drove the Jews from Spain.

It was a remarkable fact that Spain,
through the great discoverer, gave to
the world the only country which re-
ceives in full citizenship and bestows
upon them all the privileges enjoyed by
every class, the very people that she
drove from her borders. One great
reason for the perpetuity of America,
Dr. Childs thought, was its devOtion to
the Christian religion, and its interpre-
tation of it in that broad sense that has
restrained it from lifting a hand against
the Jews; on the contrary, teaching its
citizens to accept all men into full citi.
zenship. There was something in all
this, he thought, to commend to the
Jewish citizens a generous Protestant
Christianity. __

The Steamboat.

It has been foundimpossible to get
the City of Albany completed in time
to-be put on the Norwalk and New
York route on Monday next, as was
hoped and expected. She will come
up next Tuesday night, however, and
commence her first regular trip on the
old line on Wednesday June first. She
has been thoroughly overhauled, re-
strengthened, ire-painted and re-fur-
nished. and was never ina better or
safer condition 1han now, as we are as-
sured by the president of the company.
Being of light draft and very speedy,
the City of Albany i speculiarlyadapted
to this route and it is to be hoped she
will bewell supported.

 

All Arrangements Completed.

Ariangcments have been completed
for the Irip of the Connecticut delega-
tion to the Republican convention,
which opens in Minneapolis, Tuesday,
June 7. Instead of starting from New

. Haven and going via the Housatonic

road, as was at first intended, Hartford
will be the starting point. The party
will have two Wagner drawing-room
and sleeping cars and a Wagner dining
car. They will leave at 9.26s. in. Sat-
urday,.June 4, going by the way of
Springfield and Albany to Buffalo, and
thence over the Michigan Central road
to Chicago. Minneapolis willbe reached
about eight o’clock Monday morning,
the day before the convention. , ’
The railroad fare, including sleeping
car accommodations and meals on route,
will be $602. The total individual ex-
pense is estimated at about $120. The
cars will be stationed in Minneapolis
duringihe convention, and the mem-
bers of the 1 arty will be allowed-to use
them during their stay in the city, If
they are unable to obtain hotel accom-
modations. The dele ales and alter-
nates will be quarters at .the West ho-
tel, one of the finest houses in Minne-
apolis. ‘ '

The Press Dinner.

__.—..—-.__.._—-w

Some two hundred invited guests
assembled atRoton Point, (that most
beautiful of all the shore resorts on
either Long Island Sound shore any-
where between New York and Montauk
Point,) yesterday afte’rnoon,to .view the

'wonderful changes and improvements

that have taken place there since the
last season. A new (look, some fifty
feet in extent, has been added to the
old steamboat landing. A line of two
story and substantial bath houses have
been erected across the entire face of
the beautiful sand beach, and yesterday

‘ the stars and stripes, the harp of Erin

and the French and German colors
were fl ing from this beautiful struc-
ture. mmediately in rear of the bath-
house blockis erected a large and per-
manent Pavflion beneath which is one
of the largest “merry-go-rounds” as
yet constructed. This, with a musical
caliope, is propelled by steam and an
engine and boiler house is but a few
rods adjacent. Beside the pavilion is
photographer Lewis’ new and attrac-
tive gallery. Next, two long rifle prac-
tice tubes for teaching young America
how to shoot, after he has tired of the
merry-go-round. Next stands with de-
mure and dejected look,the hollow and
capac1ous prohibition cow. which is ex-
pected to.dispense iced milk to such as
cannot stand the seductive spirits con-
cealed in Rhine wines and German
beer. The neat and attractive hotel
has been greatly enlarged. The dining
hall has a capacity to seat from three
to five hundred guests, while the re-
ception and lodging rooms above and
the porches and balconies have been
notably improved. So that here is to
be founda complete and most attrac-
tive miniature Coney Island, without
any of that resort’s boisterous and dis-
agreeable concomitants. -

A short distance from the main hos-
telry is Mr. Fred. Betts’ thirty-tubed
Phonoo'rapli. that attracted a crowd of
intense y interested listeners, to its
weird musxc, orations, dialogues, etc.,
etc. A long line of horse sheds are lo-
cated on the western margin of the
grove.

Yesterday Dwyer’s City of Norwalk
Band was placed on the broad piazza
in front of dining hall and discoursed
its best music for the assembled multi-
tude. A little after four, the grand
processron of nearly two hundred filed
in and charged upon the beautifully
set tables. Among the noted person-
ages present were Rev. Messrs. Gra-
ham and Archibal Wheaten,Senator D.
M“ Read and Frank Miller, of the
Bridgeport Board of Trade; Editor
Emerson, of the Ansonia Sentinel, who
by the way was a classmate of Rev. Mr.
Graham; Orrin Benedict and G. A.
Durant, of Bethel; Judge of Probate
A. Stanley Finch, of Stamford; the
Town, City and Borough authorities,
present and past, and about all the
lawyers, doctors, bankers and editors
of the town.

As soon as the guests were seated at
the table, President: Jas. W. Hyatt, of
the Roton Point Improvement com-
pany, welcomed them in a short and
pointed address. As soon as the fierce
battle with the French menu began to
wane, Senator John S. Seymour as
toast-master, called out Rev. Mr. Gra-
ham, who said the popular idea of a
clergyman on such an occasion seemed
to be that he was like a. farmer’s cider
barrel, always full and only needed
tapping to set it running. He expressed
his congratulations in a- few appropri-
ate words and was vigorously ap-
plauded as he sat down. Col. Frost
next expressed his delight and sense of
obligation to the enterprising hosts.
Then Brewer, Charles Staley. of New
York, was called out. Next, Senator
D. M. Read; who made the hit of the
occasion and was tumultuously cheered
and applauded by all present. It was
to the effect that when the half dozen
present little Norwalks should unite in
one large, notable and powerful muni-
cipal organization, he would with spec-
ial delight come over and help us have
a rousmg celebration,worthy the power
and beauty of our grand old town.

Mr. Maples was called on to speak
for the press. He waked the merri-
ment of the company by confessing
that he ran a very wee(a)kly paper, but
thought the other three papers in Nor-
walk. were, if anything, weaker than
his. Representative Purdy, of Darien,
followed, then Attorney Hurlbutt,
Senator Mead of New Canaan, Lawyer
Light. Frank Miller, E. A. Woodward,
Major C. E. Doty. ex-Warden E. O.
Keeler, and Col. Wm. R. Harmon, of
the old 27th Conn. Vols, but now of
Detroit. Judge Townsend ended the
oratory by calling for a vote of thanks
and cheers for the sumptuous ‘enter-
tainment. When to the music of the
band, the visitors filed to the boat and
returned full of shore dinner and de-
light at this evidence of a new awaken-
in of N or'walk thrift and enterprise.

Vindin roads have been cut to the
North an East and a series of attrac-
tive shore cottage sites mapped out for
sale. President Hyatt has a cottage
well under way near the bluff at Pine
Point and S. B. Wilson one about,
finished on the west margin of the sand
beach between Roton and Bell Island.

A neat and commodious little steamer
will convey guests to and from South
Norwalk to the Point throughout the
season, where no expense 0r pains Will
be spared to make _ this marvelously
beautiful spot in all its natural attrac-
tions, 9. most restful and pleasurable
resort for parties, families and unat-
tended ladies and children. - .
