exclusively for the benefit of his fellow Jews-as against the best interests of the nation, and the Socialist and anti-government Jew comes out in his defense. Most of these Jews, it may be said, have lost a vital touch with the teachings and ceremonials of their religion, but they indicate what their real religion is by their national solidarity.

(Special Dispatch to the Evening Telegram.) A CHANGE IN THE THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. Harrisburg, Nov. 10th—An important change has been made in the Thanksgiving proclamation. In the last paragraph the words “Christian Common¬ wealth” have been altered to read: “A Commonwealth of freemen” This change has been made because of animadversions made by prominent Israelites. Gov. Hoyt says he used the word “Christian” in the sense of “civilized” and not particularly in a religious sense.
