ADDRESS OF REV. DR. PETERS
IN PENN AVE., CHURCH.
Ho Touched Upon the Prominonco
of the Jowish People in tho History
of tho World and in the Great and
Varied Fields of Human Endeavor.
Tho Great Domesticity nnd Gen
eral Moral Worth of the Race
Praised and Popular Projudico
Against It Condoraned.
Hev. Madison C. tPeters, D.D., of New
Yolk, addressed a large and culluted
audience last evening at tho Penn Ave
nue Haptlst church on "Justice to the
Jew." A number of the prominent
Hehiews of the city weie In attend
ant e.
Hev. Pr. Peters Is a toll, handsome
man, of ulmost military beating, pos
lessed of a clear, fotceftit delivery and
hi' winds cairy conviction to the most
hkeptlcal. He has oIdcntly lansacked
the hlntoty of nil ages with a pattlcti
lar desire to obtain Information regard
ing the achievements of the Jew Ish
lace undet all conditions and cinlton
nieiits, nnd to say that he has hUc
ceeded. Is putting It, Indeed, mildly.
His address wns principally un effort
to show what civilization owes to the
Jew and to collect many existing
piejudlces against this people.
P.ev. Robert F. Y. Pierce Intioduced
i Dr. Prteis as an old associate In Clnls-
' tlan woik. they liotli having been In
terested In kindred Institutions In
Philadelphia .'eral yeai.s ago.
lilt. PHTIHIR' ADDHHSS.
Dr Peteis first dwelt upon the patri
otism of the Jew and quoted historical
data and statistlrs to prove his claims
He nahl that the money used to fit out
Columbus' caiavels was supplied by a
Chtisttan Jew, the maps he silled by
weie the woik of a Jew, and the flrt
man of the expedition to land on Amer
Icth soil was a Jew. He refened to
the Hi st Iminlgtation of Jews to this
eountiy In l(ir! nnd the terilble perse
cution they hiiffeied from Peter Sttty
vesant, the gtneinor of Now Amster
dam. He then n fined to the fact that In
the two loimtrlts of Europe where th"
Jew is not placed on a level with the
fientlle, niinelj, Russia and Houma
nla that the race numbeis 5,000.000, or
ovei one-half the Jewish population "f
the entire world, which Is about 11,
000,000. This latter number Is 4,000,000
more than In the time of David, pio
ing the truth of the assertion that a
ntperlor people cannot bo destiojed b
an Inferior one.
In legaid to the pitrlntlsin of the
Jew, the doctor said that In the middle
"n wIln al1 'r Hut ope he could
haidly call his soul his own, so ler-
ilhlv was he peisecuted, that when
i er lie found a eountiv a ft lend to
him, that muntrv lound a fiiend in
him In pioot of this lie told of th"
thousands of Jews who fought under
the banners of King Philip of Trance
and th" kings of Spain
Dr. Peters touched lightly on the le
ceni Drejfus affair and said that
though Frame was the Hist to giant
the Jew full civil antl leligions llbeity
In 1791, that this late lamentable tilal
proved tint she had not yet learned to
live up to the laws on her statute
hooks.
JCWR IN THH AHMTHS.
He then told of the large pioportlon
cf Jews in the great aimles of Hlliope
nnd the numbeis of thiin acting as
officers. Theie sue, Ji. said, 00,700 Jews
now seivlng In the united ninilfs of
llurope, over 1,000 of wh.-.m boll ot'l
cei's commissions. The Jews did not
obtain full n'Urlous ami vi. fl rights in
England until 1S:S, when p.aron He ths
thlld was peimltted to take his scat In
lb" House of Lords', anil yet there ara
now 700 Jews In her majesty's army,
and some ot the greatest Kmnals who
tver fought in Hiltam's niniles have
been Jews.
Dr. Pet"is then .'line ti the hlstorv
ol our own country an 1 told luteiest
lngly of the gteat deb; we, aw a na
tion, owe to the Jews. He told of Isaac
Solomon of New 1'oilc, who, when
Ameilta decided to tlnow oft the
shackles of Hngll-ih rule, came loi
waul nnd gave $600,000 for tin ie".
lutionau cause, and how not a dollar
of this sum has ever bon paid hack
to his heli p.
He spoke of Ilrlgadler Oneral
Joseph Hloomberg, who fought In the
war of 1S12 of General Dilu De Leon,
one of the heroes of the Mexlfin war,
nnd of nine generals, eighteen ooloneW,
eight lieutenant colonels, ioi ty nuilois,
UO'i captains and ""' lieutenants, all if
Jewish blood, who fought for the pies.
eivatlon of the I'nion in the late Civil
War. Theie were altogether 7,2j" Jews
In the Union army out of a total Jew
ish population of only 150,000, making
in" in iiui nun in tins r.tee greater man
that of any other who fought on the
nmlhcin side. Referring to the Into
w ir with Spain he made mention of
the fact that llfteen of the men who
peilshed on the Maine were Jews.
PMOMINENCn IN ALL FIELDS.
The piomtnence of tho Jews In all
the various fields of human activity
was then taken up and levlewetl at
length. He told of the actresse
Haehel and Parnhardt, the poets
(Joethe and Heine, who aie the great

The pre-eminence of the Jew In the
ptofesslons ot law and medicine wm
iil"o touched upon, em1 the fact men
tioned that the professora chairs In
all of the great ICutopean medical col
leges are almost entlielv tilled by Jews.
The doctor also sid that the greatist

The average human life of the Gen

Peteis attributes in a large Upki'"- to
their icfurnl to eat the meat of the
hog. one half of which, he asserted,
curies the seeds of consuniptlon In It.
He also paid a high tilbtile to the Jew
as a law-abiding citizen and said that
he had a better tecoid In this respect
than that of nny other race, a fact
which he claimed nny be substanti
ated by a caieful .study of the prKon

As the legular date for tho mojtlng,
Sept. 15, was approaching, plans were

u new route to tidewater was the prin

their plans.
Mr. Connell s.iy.s the association wilt

In addition to this traffic, the new com
pany Mill have the pation.age of the
big and wealthy Pennsylvania. Coal

of Its own to New Yoik, besides the
oidlnary business which falls to a lall
load running through a piosperous ter
ritory such us that tapped by the now
load.
Nothing has been given out as jet
regaidlng the details ot construction
except that the load fiom Lackawaxen
to Kingston will be single-track at
tlrst. Eventually It will be double
track, but as It is desirous to get the
