Jewish Philanthropy As Told In Story Now Going Round.

A good Jewish story is now going the rounds. New York Jews and their wives were holding a banquet. The feast was of unusual elegance, and after the feasting had gone on for some time one of the guests who had partaken liberally of the champaign arose to make a speech. He said: “Dear frens; Vile ve feast in dis balace of blenty and gaze mit admirashuns on de beautiful vimmens clothed in diamonds und jewleries und smiles, we should not, my dear frens, forget de boor beepies on de east side. Ve have blenty to eat und to drink vile des boor beepies are almost starving und have not enough clothing to keep dem from the cold; and my heart goes oud to des boor beepies from de east side and I dink we ■'Should do somedings for dem. Vy, my dear frens, dess boor beepies on de east side have no blaces to sleep and de vinter times is hard on dem and I bropose dat ve do somedings for dem. Ve should all be unanymous in giving dem somedings and I bropose that ve give dhree cheers for de boor beepies on de east side.”

Hard Winter Is the Prognostication of Muskrats.

Sid Schanlaub, the busiest correspondent in this section of the state, had the following Morocco dated telegram in the Indianapolis Star: Old hunters, who claim to be skilled in the ways of wild animals in relation to the weather, predict an exceptionally hard winter. They have examined the architecture of muskrat bouses, noted the unusual large quantity of honey laid up by bees and the store of nuts gathered by squirrels —all indicating, they say, a long, cold winter. 16 ——T— — Twenty-one high-bred horses belonging to Hiram Palin of near Wingate were killed by a fast passenger train. The animals were grazing in a field near the railroad and wandered through an open gate to the track.

FOUND DEAD IN BED AT HOME IN REMINGTON.

Frank Shide, Aged Citizen, . t Dies Some Time Saturday Night. Lost All In Parker Bank.

Frank Shide, an aged German citizen of Remington,' who lost some* SBOO in the Parker bank wreck, was found dead in his bed Sunday morning, having expired during the night. He and his aged and invalid wife lived alone, and since the Parker bank failure they have been assisted by the township trustee. He had SBOO in the bank, which he had expected to care for himself and wife during their declining years. The loss of the money undoubtedly contributed to his decline. He was about 80 years old.

Objects To Our Liberality; Porter County Has a Kick.

The Valparaiso Messenger objects to our near-criminals being turned loose and chased over to Valparaiso, comes back with the following comment:

According to the Rensselaer Republican, Harry McAlpin, the DeMotte barber, who attempted to rape a five-year-old girl, has been turned loose by the DeMotte authorities without action of the circuit court and ordered to leave that town, never to come back. The Republican says: “As he had not accomplished his purpose, it was thought best not to go to the trouble of prosecution.” The Messenger believes that the action taken by the DeMotte people is an outrage on society. The precious Harry, twice charged with this crime, is turned loose on the public, ready for more victims. He has been ordered out of town; so DeMotte girls are safe. What matters it if he comes to Valparaiso or some other town and repeats the offense? Why, it matters nothing to DeMotte people, who are rid of him. They could not go to the trouble to prosecute him, you know. Can’t people in other places watch their girls and keep them in the house? Certainly. The cheapest way to deal with all offenders in to order them out of town, shoo them away like chickens that have got into one’s garden. But is it effective? To answer the question would be to insult the intelligence of the people.

Marriage of Pearle Bellow Jones and Mr. Wade Greene.

The Remington Press contains the following account of the marriage of Miss Pearle Bellow Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dexter R. Jones, of Remington, and Mr. Wade Gfeene, of New York City, which took place at the home of the bride’s parents in Remington last Thursday. The service was at 9:30 o’clock. At the appointed hour the bride and groom, unattended, proceeded by Rev. Gibson Wilson, descended the stairs to the strains of the Lohengren wedding march as played by Miss Callie Bonner, and entered the parlor from the library. The beautiful and impressive ceremony was witnessed by their immediate families and a few intimate friends, the Episcopal ring service being used. After congratulations the bride and groom led the way to the dining room where a dainty four course breakfast was served.

The bride was becomingly attired in a gown of point d sprie over white silk and carried an arm boquet of bride roses with streamers of lillies of the valley. The groom wore the conventional black. The house had been prettily decorated for the occasion with palms, ferns and fall flowers, white and green prevailing in the parlor, and white and yellow in the dining room. Amidst a profusion of rice and old shoes the bride and groom left on a wedding journey and will be at home after Nov. Ist at 516 W. 134th street, New York. The out-of-town kuests were Mrs. George Greene, mother of the groom, of Marshall, Mich.; *Messrs. Grove Greene, of Marshall, and Geo. Greene, of Gary, Ind., brothers of the groom; Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bellows, of Rensselaer; Mrs. 0. Murphy, of Berwyn, Ill.; Miss Nettie Price, of Rensselaer, and Miss Birdie N. Jones, of Toledo, Ohio. Much merriment was caused by a letter in verse in Irish dialect from “Dooley and Bridget” Kay which was read by Miss Birdie N. Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Greene were nicely remembered by the gifts of their many friends.
