poorer brethren who are without
employment. They have also assisted those owners of small
businesses who have managed to maintain their position by dint of a
supreme effort. The generosity of the Jews in .Russia towards their
poorer brethren has been very marked. In Minsk the community
subscribed 5,123 roubles besides the regular charitable collections
during one month (ending January 8th, 1892) they distributed 4 000
pouds of bread (a pond = 40 lbs..), in which distribution many poor
Umstians shared ; from the 8th of January onwards the distribution of bread was raised to the weekly average of 1,200 pouds. Similar
open-haridedness prevails in other towns. In Wilna, besides the
Regular Meekly distribution of 300 roubles, $000 roubles monthly
have been subscribed, and this is exclusive of the very numerous
private societies which exist in all Jewish communities in Russia.

information has reached us, under date of March

2nd, respecting the closing of the Talmud School in Woloshin
(Wilna Government).
By order of Kochahov, Governor-General
of Wilna, the head-masters Rabbi Hirsch lieb Berlin, Rabbi
Ohann Berlin, his son, and Rabbi Chaim Solowejzig (the celebrated son of the Rabbi of Brest)-^have been forbidden to reside
in any part of the Government 6f Wilna for the term of three years,
the police thinking that only when thethree principal teachers were
removed from their sphere of action,.would there be security that
the college would not be reopened secretly. I t is reported that the
school was closed oh the strength of a denunciation by the police
and Ispravniks, who represented the school as a " nest for Nihilists."
