London, September IS In an article on the new Zionist scheme, brought out by the offer of Great Britain of a portion of Uganda, Africa, lor a large Jewish colony, Arlond White says: "From time to time weathy and well-meaning philanthropists have devoted their thoughts and their money to the solution ol the Jewish question.

But as the years roll by the final setlement of humanity with the Ghetto has been postponed to a more convenient season. The late Baron dc Hirsch dedicated to the solution of the Jewish question in the Argentine Republic and elsewhere. His efforts have, unfortunately, turned out to be a complete failure. The annual increase of the Hebrew subjects of the Russian Emperor is at least three times as great as the absorptive capacity of the Hirsch schemes. Nothing was wanting so far as money, brains and good intentions were concerned; but the scheme failed because the chief sufferers the Jews in Russia and Roumanin resolutely declined to cross the ocean in order to engage in agricultural pursuits.

To tbe Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In your issue of September 22 you told readers as a matter ot daily news of the downfall througb drink of a once prominent and intlueutial veterinary and lecturer, who, in his sober days, lived in opuk-uee and comfort on Fifth avenue. It is but a mattei of dally news, for It ts of daily occurrence. If statistics in this matter are reliable, there is not a day passes without the setting in the dishonor of strong drink of some life that might otherwise have been a beacou of light and power. Strange that the oft-repeated evil, by its oft repetition, is robbed of its horror.

Strange that for money or political influence people will sacrifice peace, purity, happiness, life and eternity. Strange that people can be so blinded by the gods of this world that they forget that neither the drunkard nor the drunkard maker can enter the kingdom of heaven and that the whisky traffic is the greatest curse of the earlh. Lou Beauchanip has well said: "In our land, and in our day. the story of strong di ink and its victories is a tale so full of horror that it might well pass as a revised edition of the for surely Dante, 'the man who had been in never conjured up from his weird and mystic brain sights and tales more terrible than have been given us by the demon alcohol." Judge Noah Davis declares that "An experience of more than twenty-tive years on the judicial bench warrants me in believing that three-fourths of the crime and seven-eights of the poverty and distress in our country are the direct or indirect results of the traffic in Intoxicating liquors." Carroll U. Wright tells us that "ninety-two per cent, of our crime Is the result of Intoxicating liquors." And Lord Bacon truthfully says that "all the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human race as docs drunkenness." The writer has statistics and statements made by those who have given years to investigating the matter to show that of a given number of cases examined as to the cause lending to a lite of shame more than 77 per cent, declare it to be drink.

Statistics show that in the State of New York expenditures marie necessary by the evils of the liquor traffic are far in excess of the total receipts from licenses, state and local. In alone duriug the year 18H5 there were 31.807 arreUs for violations of the excise laws, 8.414 of these being women. The cost of these arrests, including cost of trial, was more than double the entire amount received by the city for all licenses for I he entire year. Add to this the crime, poverty, insanity, immorality, unhappiness and deaths resulting therefrom and what 1s the justification for the business? The victims of strong drink are not confined to any class, clime, caliber, condition or color. Neither refinement, genius nor achievement is a defense against its power.

Edgar Allan Toe, author of "The Ravens," "Annabel Lee" and many other masterpieces: John Howard Payne, author of "Home, Sweet Home," buried alone in a strange land by the sea; George Washington Cutter, author of Pluribus Unum," "The Song of Steam" and many rare poems; Thomas Marshall, of mighty Intellect; George D. Prentice, poet, wit and newspaper man; Artemus Ward. Stephen A. Douglas, Richard Yates, with the great names of the past, including Alexander the Great, Robert Burns, Charles Lamb and many, many others, have fallen victims to Us power and as a protest against the nefarious traffic. The liquor traffic becomes practically a IrflfTic of human soul3 and happiness, their fell destroyer and a menace to national stability and righteousness.

Must it he continued? There is need for a new abolition. The traffic in slaves as compared with the evils of the liquor traffic would be counted a blessing.

kept two establishments. Although of Little Intelligence, This London Carpenter's Career Is One of the Wonders of City. London. September 18 One of the most extraordinary stories of double life nnd deception of women ever told in a court of Justice was unfolded at the Old Ilalley. 't was the case of a man who for years kept two establishments within a few blocks of one another, each woman Ignorant of the other's existence and believing herself tho only and lawful wife nf the man.

The prisoner in the dock, William T. Harvey, a rough-looking, bewildered man with mild eyes, pleaded guilty to having biga-niously married Mary Dentry while his own wife was still alive. It took the recorder but a few minutes to dispose of tho case. The learned Judge said that Harvey had ended this double life oi bigamy by a voluntary confession. Tho man had repented of hlB wrong, and had endeavored to make amends.

Taking into consideration the fact that the prisoner had been In prison for six weeks, since the date of his surrender to the police, the recorder sentenced him to three days' imprisonment, which meant that Harvey was at once discharged. As Harvey stood In the dock it was hard to picture him as the author of one of the most audacious deceptions ever disclosed at the Central Criminal Court. He Is a carpenter, a man in humble life. Imperfectly educated. His low-pitched plea of guilty was delivered In the voice of a matt Unaccustomed to string half a dozen words together coherently; yet for years he has lied coherently to two women, each of whom he called his wife.

His first and genuine marriage took placa at Shoreditch in 1875. Through all the in tervening years he has been a model husband, Invariably kind and apparently loving, never addicted to drink and a chapel-goer. About ten years ago, while the Harveya were living in Tyneham road, Battersea. William Harvey came across a young working woman of his own class named Mary Dentry. She was then about 28 years of age, ho was 40.

The twelve years between them seems to have made It easy for hlra to impose upon her credulity. He pretended to be a widower. After a period of courtship, the two were married and the only precaution Harvey took was to give his flrSfc name as "Walter" Instead of "William." The next step was to establish Mrs, Harvey the second In rooms In Hollo street, not a quarter of a mile distant from his legitimate home in Tyneham road. Naturally Harvey desired to keep this blgutunus home In Rollo street hidden from the outside world. And equally naturally the second Mrs.

Hnrvey desired what sho was entitled to consider a legitimate marriage to bo made known. So the prisoner was driven to fresh inventions. He told her that he lived with a grown-up sou and daughter in a house that really belonged to them. He could not take his wife there, nor indeed inform them of his second marriage, for a consequence of such a marriage would be to divert from them some property of which they had expectations. At the same time, so far as Miss Dentry'a relatives were concerned, no attempt was matte to hush' up tho marriage.

Three children wore born, and the pseudo husband allowed this establishment $3 a week. As the years went on without detection Harvey became more and more reckless. He continued to live on with his real wife at Tvnoham road as though there was no shadow of the Old Bailey Just around tho corner. He never ceased to he the same indulgent, sober, kindly husband. He never t.lrpt one night at the house of his second wife; he nlways used to visit h' 'n the day.

His dally absences from Tyneham road when he was at Hollo street he always explained by the nature of his employment. His nightly absences from Hollo street were, of course, explained by the peculiar nature of his home "I must give the children a goo'l example of early hours, my dear," was; his usual formula as he slipped away caeh evt ping at Detection often t-eemed Inevitable, yet detection never came. Harvey never hesitated to go out with Miss Dentry and her i children. More than once while he was walking with her he met. his grown-up son and the laiter's betrothed: On these occasions he would turn off into a side street, saying: "Here's my son and his young lady; I don't want to speak to them." Miss Dentry several times thought she saw her husband walking with another woman.

On going up and speaking to the man he disclaimed all knowledge of her, and declared she must have made a mis take. She spoke to him about it when next he appeared at Rollo street, and he ex- plained It away by saying that he had a The half-past ten rule of departure each evening from his pretended home w-as only broken once. His little daughter at Rollo) street lay dying. The father aud niothot" were watching her through a crisis that proved fatal as the night wore on. Half-past ten came and Harvey rose to go, aa usual.

"You cannot go." blazed out Miss try; "she is your child, and you must stay." Harvey stayed, but not later than 2:39 o'clock on the following morning. He put on mourning for this little one. Harvey and his legitimate family movM tn Fulham, and he tried to take Miss Dentry to Fulham Once his second wife actually paid a visit to the real Mrs. Harvey's Fulham house. Neither the grown-up son nor daughter was there and certainly not the legitimate wife.

Harvey had laid his plans too well for that. When he went for his holidays Miss Dentry never accompanied him. He brought cake and sweetn-ea's for their children. He had an accident, a chisel huVing struck him In the eye two or three years ago, and he had to go into hospital. His second "wiio" was not allowed by him to call he wrote that no visitors were allowed.

She afterward found that another woman had been admitted to see him, though she did not ns yet know that that other woman was his lawful wife. That was practically the beginning of the enl. After his accident his visits becamo loss frequent. Finally he stayed away for nearly five weeks. Miss Dentry wrote to him.

and one of these epistles, sicned "Your loving wife," fell into real wife's hands, and led practically to the discovery of Harvey's double life, INTERIOR OFUIULL Took Four Years to Euild I 86 Miles of Track in Desert. resulted.

The somewhat magniloquent titlo of this association is explained by the extremely comprehensive character of the concession, which is not. limited to the line now steadily advancing from the const through Harrnr to Adis Aheba, capital of Abyssinia, hut extends to the whole of Ihe. Ethiopian Empire, securing to the concessionaires an absolute monopoly ot nil railway operations in that vast, region of 200,000 square miles ror a period of ninety-nine years.

This must be regarded as a creditable performance, seeing that throughout Its entire length the line traverses an arid, uninhabited tract of very rough character, with a continual fiso from sea level at Jibutil to nearly 4,000 feet at present rail head. Despite the rugged nature of the surface the engineers were enabled to avoid nil tunneling nnd brldgeworlt except, at. two points, where tho stoep ravines of long drled-up roust streams had to be crossed by the Shebeleh and Holl-Holl viaducts, respectively 510 feet and 460 feet long and 60 feet nnd feet above the river bed.

In a lai, i where tihe was absolutely without Irlenda. this young American woman bravely titi'ltid from musical agent What little money she had was soon spent nnd in order to obtain the very necessaries of life she was forced to pawn and sell her jewelry, and even her spare clothes. weeks she subsisted upon a single meal a day generally a cup of coffee and some rolls. Of all her possessions only her violin, a beautiful and costly instrument, remained.

Several n'ghls she went out into tho streets and earned a few pence by playing. One night she took her stand in Trafalgar Square. Then occurred an Incident which brought her street playing tn an end. A well dressed man, who had been watching her for some time, approached and whispered to her. Her answer was to grasp her violin bow and THE BAL-EL-FATH, OR "GATE strike the man across tho face with It and then fly.

She ran until she fell In a faint, am! was taken to a neighboring hospital. The starvation diet, the atraln upon her nervous system, and the cold resulting from her exposure in the streets came very near to making an end of her. After six weeks, however, she left the hospital, but It was only to find her situation more desperate thsn before. Friendless, penniless, woak from her illness, she was about to give up in despair, when a chanco advertisement in a newspaper brought a ray of hope. A manageress wa? wanted for a new restaurant then about to be opened In the Strand.

She applied for the position, and, strangely enough, thoutrh entirely without experience In the business, she was engaged. She grasped her new duties auickly. and before the end of her first week was complimented by tho manag ing director. Miss Wlnfleld had been manageress for almost a month, when an American who was taking tea In the restaurant Induced her to tell her story, and, as he afterward expressed It, it vent straight to his heart to think of that girl battling alone in a grent city for an honest living. This American had influential friends.

They heard Miss Wlnfleld play, and they were astonished at. her proficiency. Within forty-eight hours an engagement was secured for her at a musicale at one of the leading American houses in London, and her success was immediate. Sir Thomas Lipton, who was a close friend of the American who acted as a sort of Prince Fortunatus to Miss Wlnfleld, also became interested. Ihe nlglit before he sailed for America he was guest at a banquet In the Carlton of George T.

Wilson, a member of the New-York Yacht Club, and there the Rtory of Miss Wlnfleld was told. Sir Thomas insisted upon her being BCnt for to play for his friends, and when she left he charged tlieni all to do everything for her that could possl-blv be done. From that day poverty passed Into the faraway for Miss Winflrld. Engagements were numerous and profitable. A few days ago, with her pockets filled with money, she returned to America.

i "As a student of colonization and of the Jewish question, earnestly and sincerely as I could wish to see the success oi the Zinn-1st movement, I regret that it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that if a Jewish were formed In Uganda it is denim. -slralilo that It is foredoomed to fnllu-e. The proposed site is In the retrien of rtte eqimior; it Is between three hundred and four hundred miles from the sea. The drawbacks, therefore, can be most thoroughly by those who. like the writer, hav had practical esnerier-e in the organization and government of colonist communit ics.

Bad Weather Makes Scarcity of Grouse Greatest in Years.

London, September 18 The weather of the summer has resulted in an unparalleled scarcity of grouse and partridge, and, for the first time on record, Germany Is finding an English market for these birds. Prices have naturally gone up, and, whereas 85 cents would have bought a brace of partridges, and $1.50 a brace of grouse last season, the respective prices are now $1.75 and $2.50 a brace. The dealers blame the lateness of the harvest for tho situation, and they do not expect any relief until the crops are out of the way and the birds are easier to get at. Later In the season, too, Austria will make its usual contribution to the market. There is a fair quantity of wild duck on the market, mostly from Holland, but it is early yet for teal, widgeon nnd ptarmigan, which will come about October, with the pheasants.

In the fish market the feature Is an exceedingly good and plentiful supply of oysters, for which the demand is greater than It has been for many seasons. The fish merchants attribute the growing demand to the fact that this season, In buy ing oysters, the consumer practically re ceives a guarantee ot their innocuousness. for no oysters are allowed to bo offered for sale except from beds that have been Inspected by the local sanitary authorities and granted a certificate of purity and freedom from suspicion. GIRL SLANDERED BY WHOLESALE. London, September 18 A well connected young woman named Margaret Stafford made a remarkable confession when taken to Wexford Police Court on a charge of assault and using abusive language.

Miss Stafford confessed that In the last two years she had written and circulated 500 letters of a filthy and slanderous character concerning some of the most respectable people in Wexford, and she abjectly apologized for having done so, as they were absolutely without foundation. The district inspector of constabulary declared that the letters were the worst he had ever seen. 'Ihe cose against Miss Stnfford was adjourned tor six months to see how she would behave.
