BUSINESS NOT PICKING UP.
Ko Material Gain Made in the Last
Three Weeks.
Ko Improvement In the Near Future
in Sight at Present—Shut-downs of
Industrial Concerns and Restricted
Transportation Operations on the
Increase—The Failures of the Week.
New York, May 18.—Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say: "This week is the
third in succession in which there has
been no material gain in the volume of
business and practically no improvements
in the prospects for trade in the near
future. Continued uncertainty regard
ing tariff legislation restricts trading in
“futures" in all staple lines. This is
largely responsible for the reduction
in the volume of bank clearings. The
general industrial situation does not im
prove, although the striking New York
and Paterson silk weavers, who have
been out three months and have lost over
11.250.000 in wages, have gone back to
work. The coal conference at Cleveland
failed to settle the miners’ strike and the
situation as to fuel supplies continues to
grow worse. Shut-downs of industrial
concerns, restricted transportation opera
tions. and seizures by railroad companies
of coal on the track are increasing. Large
quantities of foreign coal have been en
gaged for delivery on the Atlantic sea
board. The number idle through strikes
•till remains at about 225.000.
"Trade is slow in all lines at Philadel
phia and Baltimore, at none of which is
the trade for the near future encouraging.
At the south such centers as Charleston,
Nashville, Memphis. Atlanta. Birming
ham, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston
report the jobbing trade practically at a
•tandstill. there having been no improve
ment within a week, and a sluggish de
mand. At Augusta drugs are relatively
most active: at Chattanooga sales of hard
ware are improved, and at Savannah
naval stores are firmer and lighter.’’
DDK’S REVIEW.
R. G. Bun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade to-morrow will say: "The obstacles
to improvement do yot lessen, yet the re
cuperative force of the country is so great
that observers are constantly amazed at
the volume of business being transacted,
the tannage being transported, the num
ber of works resuming operations and the
general soundnessof trade, notwithstand
ing influences which in any other land
would.produee dire disaster.
“Some industries are clearly doing bet
ter. Among these are the boot and shoe
trade and women's dress goods. Sales of
excessive stocks and the low prices of
cotton, a misfortune to the growers, keep
many mills in operation which would
otherwise stop, but attempts to advance
some kinds of goods have brought no bet
ter trade.
“So a real calamity , the long strike of
the miners, results in better prices for
Bessemer iron, steel and many steel
products, and to iron making concerns of
the east partly compensates for the over
whelming advantage which the Pittsburg
region had secured in the fierce competi
tion for some months. Foundry and
mill iron are in abundant supply with
little change in price, and though the de
mand for finished goods is not large,
firmer prices appear where there might
be demoralization, if part of the works
were not forced to close. At Chicago,
also, the market has been the best for
months with structural iron and plates
•tiffer. At Pittsburg the demand has
raised Bessemer iron *6 per ton, foundry
coke, which sold at 90 cents, sells at #4,
wire nails have advanced to #1.50, and
there has been heavy buying of black
sheets and barbed wire. But it is feared
that more of the mills must suspend if
the strike continues.
“The soundness of the commercial
world is shown in the diminishing im
portance of failures, the liabilities re
ported for the second week of May
amounting to only #1,937,538, of which
#1,490.932 were of trading, and #432,b0C of
manufacturing concerns. The failure*
thiß week have been 220 in the United
States against 247 last year, and 24 in
Canada against 14 last year.’’
WHAT BULLOCH THINKS.
Judge Hines Too Recent a Convert to
Suit Populists Here.
Statesboro, Ga.. May 18.—The nomina
tion of Judge Hines by the populists is
considered here us a weak ticket. The
judge is well known here. There are no
democrats who will vote him here, and
lots of populists will not vote for him on
account of his too recent conversion.
They think that the leaders who stood by
them in 1892 ought to have been recog
nized.
Bids are coming in from all over
the country for the erection of our new
court house.
Messrs. J. C. Jones and Judge C. S.
Martin are building new residences in
Statesboro.
The crops are growing off nicely in this
section. There is less cotton planted
than last year.
There is more corn being bought here
than in a number of years before.
BIBB’S I)BRIO CHATS.
A Primary Called for June 14. at the
Request of Both Sides.
Macon, Ga.. May 18.—The democratic
executive committee of Bibb county met
to-day, and on a petition from both Atkin
son and Evans men called a primary for
June 14. Votes will be cast for candi
dates direct, and the successful candidate
will name the delegates. A mass meeting
will be held on June 16, to ratify the ap
pointment of delegates and to set the
time for a primary for state house of
ficers.
Crops About Pembroke.
Pembroke, Ga., May 18.-The water
that fell during the past two weeks has
had its effect, and sea island cotton is
growing wonderfully. The raining was
so incessant while it lasted that cotton
chopping was carried on with impeded
progress. Since the few past fair days it
is finished as far as sea island cotton goes.
There yet remains some late upland cot
ton that is not chopped out. Cotton
planted early only partially came up, on
account of the lack of moisture, and since
the rains, the remaining seed have
sprouted, thereby making two sizes,
the lesser of which will have to be
removed from around the larger There
will, consequently, be some time lost by a
second chopping. About one-third of the
cotton in this section is forming, and in
some rare cases it will soon commence to
bloom.
Crops are not needing any more rain
just now, but without rain a week hence
it will suffer. The ground was extremely
dry and has absorbed all the water that
fell. Branches invariably have but little
water in them.
Sons of Veterans.
Atlanta, Ga., May 18.—The Association
of Sons of Confederate Veterans of At
lanta have issued a call for a state con
vention of the Sons of Veterans organiza
tion. to be held here on June 37. The
purpose of the convention is to take steps
to open and maintain the soldiers' home.
Fatally Wounded by His Gun.
River Junction, Fla., May 18.—While
out hunting to-day, B. W. Edwards was
fatally wounded by the bursting of bis
gun. He laid in the woods several hours
ociore he was found.
POLYGAMOUS ROMANCES.
jAs Narrated by Those Who Are
Friendly to the Mormon Faith,
From the Ogden Standard.
The following from the Argus of Salt
Lake furnishes evidence such as will be
1 interesting to people of the far Eastern
i States, not only that there was a roman
tic element about polygamy, but that
there is and has been, since the mani
festo, an earnest purpose on the part of
the Mormon church authorities to discon
tinue the practice of polygamy, and to
put the church membership everywhere
| in the United States in harmony with the
monogamic trend of the Anglo-Saxon
race:
"The church edict that polygamy
shoud be suspended is working the cure.
That the order is being obeyed, and that
the authorities are sincere is evidenced by
a pretty pathetic romance it was tbe good
fortune of the Argus to hear as a sequel
to a rather heated and earnest argument.
[ It appears that a young man, closely re
lated to one of the leading families of
Southern Utah, had a few years since de
cided to marry two sisters. They were
willing, nay anxious, to allow him the
privilege of caring for them, and he, be
sides loving them sincerely, was a firm
believer in the polygamy tenet of the
church. The younger was sent to school
in the east, the understanding being that
tbe elder should first be married to him,
and that upon her return she should be
come his second wife. The first mar
riage was duly solemnized, ana the happy
pair settled down to a quiet and loving
domestic life, waiting in pleasant antici
pation for the time to come when the
sister would be released from the thrall
dom and restraints of maidenhood.
"Two years passed, and the sister,
radiant with beauty, culture, and health,
returned with the joyful peals of the
marriage bells already ringing in her
ears. The young man sought his bishop,
and made known his desire, and was, to
his great disappointment, refused. He
came to this city, interviewed several of
the apostles of whose friendship he was
assured, but again met with no encour
agement. Finally, so the story goes, the
presidency and the apostles met to con
sider the problem presented. The young
man spoke earnestly. He reviewed his
courtship of the sisters, stated the terms
of the compact they had engaged in, and
pleaded for the privilege of keeping it.
He was told that consent could not be ob
tained, that the manifesto had not been
issued to be disobeyed, and that should
he consort with the girl he would be
guilty of breaking a solemn law of the
church as well as the law of the land in
which he lived. Disconsolate, the young
man returned to his wife and her sister,
made known to them the condition of af
fairs, and it was agreed, but not before
many tears had been shed and heart
pangs recorded, that the decree should be
accepted as inevitable and irrevocable.
The sister is said now to be a resident of
this city, her heart still true to her love,
while he and his wife are living in the
Mormon colony in Chihuahua.”
The wonder to people of the east, es
pecially to lovers and sweetheart, will be
to realize how a blooming young maiden
could look forward with enthusiasm to a
union in marriage with her sister’s hus
band. Doubtless Utah history will go
down to future ages with this feature of
its past career standing out as an un
reconciled and uncomprehended phenom
enon. But whatever the future may
bring forth, it is important that the peo
ple and government of the United States
shall repose confidence in the present in
tegrity and trustwoathiness of President
Wilford Woodruff and those who are as
sociated with him in church government
in the work of carrying out the express
and implied pledges in regard to polyg
amous marriages.
A stronger case, perhaps, than that of
the Argus, transpired in a town not a
hundred miles from Ogden. A young
married man had contracted a second
marriage at a time shortly previous to the
manifesto, and, having anticipated his
nuptials, he became extremely solicitous
for a consummation of his vows in mar
riage: but the manifesto had intervened,
and althougn he was a young man in su
perior standing, and made a most piteous
plea as a means of shielding the honor of
his intended polygamous wife, and as a
possible escape from the penitentiary, yet
the officers in charge were inflexible, and
told him that his request could not be
granted even though his life were at
stake. He did serve his term in the pen
itentiary, and the whole incident gives
proof of the faithfulness of those who
have the destinies of the Mormon church,
and largely|those of Utah, in their keep

ENGLISH ESTATES.
Americans Rent Them as a Matter of
Economy.
From the New York Sun.
The millionaires are not to be the only
Americans who have established summer
homes in England by any means. William
Waldorf Astor, the Duchess of Marl
borough : Andrew Carnegie, William K.
Vanderbilt and a few other possessors of
millions have recently secured the estates
of various impoverished dukes in differ
ent parts of England, and they are con
stantly getting their names in the news
papers in consequence.
Mr. Nat Goodwin, the comedian, has a
theory that an actor can do a great many
things that millionaires do, and he will
this summer carry out an idea which he
had in mind before the millionaire pio
neers led the way. Five years ago ho
looked at a small estate in Surrey, and he
has recently rented it for three months,
beginning June 1. There are 209 acres of
woorilaud, twenty-six horses in the stable,
and the place is to be turned over with
twelve servants and everything in readi
ness for immediate possession. Mr. Good
win said yesterday :
"I love to dwelfflamboyantly on the de
tails of the establishment. There are
gardeners aud undergardeners, first,
second and third men, and no end of
things of that sort. Such an establish
ment in this country would bankrupt a
millionaire, I am ouly reticent when I
come to mention the price 1 pay for the
outfit. It is so ridiculously small that I
cannot give the facts without casting a
slur upon the Vanderbilts, the Astors and
the millionaires who have preceded me.
There are a good many things in this
world which are tinted by the mellow
glow of deception, but between you and
me the hiring of an English country place
is one of the most notable. A New York
flat is a rank and riotous extravagance
compared to it.”
A Square Deal In Coffee County.
Willacoochee, Ga., May 16.—Editor
Morning News: We notice in the News
of yesterday, that your Oconee county
correspondent charges the Atkinson men
of lus county with trickery in selecting
delegates aud claims that they resorted
to the Coffee county trick. We don’t pro
tend to understand the true condition of
affairs relative to the Oconee muddle, and
have no comments to make concerning
the action of that county, as we attend to
our own affairs and grant the same privi
lege to all other counties. However, we
would say that our call was made by our
executive committee, not for the purpose
of considering as to time and method,
but for the express purpose of electing
delegates, and was so published in our
official county paper for two or three
weeks prior to the meeting. We have no
fault to find with the war, the private or
the religious record of Gen. Evans, but
we claim to have gratitude in our souls;
therefore, we acted accordingly and con
scientiously on the political records of
the two men.
Sir George Dlbbs says that temperance
people tan no more restrain men from drink

THE MORNING .NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1894.
i DRAWBACK AT GRAY GABLES.
Pestilential Odors From Cedar Creek
Annoy the Clevelands.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Boston. Mass.. May 10.—Gray Gables,
the summer home of President Cleveland
at Buzzard's Bay. is in a bad way. It is
1 troubled by a disagreeable odor, which
the residents of the neighborhood are
now seeking to remedy. The odor comes
from Cedar Creek bar at Gray Gables.
A petition is before the state board of
harbor and land commissioners, asking
for authority to build a dam or dike in
and over the tide waters of this creek,
which will do away with the nuisance.
The petition is reported as signed by
Moses Williams, who owns property ad
joining the President's seaside resort and
’’others.” The "others” means President
Grover Cleveland.
The petition, it is said on reliable au
thority. also has another meaning, which
is that the surroundings of Gray Gables
are to be greatly improved.
FROM THE CREEK'S MUD BANKS.
This odor, obnoxious in the extreme,
comes largely from the flats of the creek,
which are uncovered by water much of
the time in summer, and upon which the
sun casts its burning rays.
Early last summer, when Mrs. Cleve
land was at Gray Gables with her daugh
ter, this evil odor invaded the home. It
became a serious matter with the mem
bers of the household, and an investiga
tion was made. Then for the first time
did they learn whence it came. Nothing
further was done then.
When Mrs. Cleveland had returned to
Washington and Baby Esther had been
born, visions of cholera infantum and
other infant troubles came to Mrs. Cleve
land when she thought of Gray Gables,
and, as the story goes, the President and
Frances agreed that before their summer
home was sought again the evil must be
done away with.
Then congress assembled, and the mind
of the chief executive became fixed upon
national questions, crowding out all
thoughts of his Massachusetts home. It
was not so, however, with Mrs. Cleve
land. She urged on the President the
necessity of immediate action, largely be
cause Mrs. Cleveland and the children
will, in all probability, pass the entire
summer at Gray Gabies, instead of spend
ing the early summer months, as they
originally intended, at their present
country scat, at Woodley, on the out
skirts of Washington, where Coxey had
at first hoped to camp his army.
DECIDED TO TAKE ACTIOS.
In view of this arrangement, it was ab
solutely necessary that the evil should be
done away with before Mrs. Cleveland
came to Massachusetts with her chil
dren. Immediately after the President
was reminded by Mrs. Cleveland, letters
of instruction came from the white house
to Horace S. Crowell, who represents the
President’s interests here. Through his
efforts the petition has been drawn up
and presented to the state commission.
The stench is caused partly by the
flats of the creek, and partly by a place
where in a bad storm, the sea has washed
into a wooden section and killed many
cedar trees. These trees now lie there
rotting day by day, and from them an
odor arises.
It is proposed to clear away the rub
bish washed up by the sea and the rot
ing trees, and then build a dam across a
narrow portion of this creek. This dam
will cause the creek to be filled with
water at all times, and the flats will no
longer be exposed. By doing this the
property will be greatly improved. A
sheet of water like a small lake will be
the result of the work. Other improve
ments will be made.
A Story of the Crab.
From the San Fran isco Examiner.
Crabs can see but cannot hear; crabs
can remember and can communicate;
crabs are sensitive to any vibration of the
ground; crabs are inquisitive; crabs are
docile and crabs can smell.
Eight months of constant association
with crabs, eight months in which many
leisure and lonely hours were occupied in
watching and studying crabs, gave five
men who lived on Chlpperton Island for
that period of time the opportunity to get
on friendly, even familiar, relations with
the red crabs that infest by millions that
strange equatorial coral isle. They were
the employes of a phosphate company,
and were preparing the cargo of a
schooner in which they returned re
cently from the island. They made the
following observations: The crab can see,
but he is near-sighted. At a distance of
25 feet he can observe a man walking
along the beach, but at that distance he
cannot see distinctly, for he ambles after
the man to satisfy his enormous curiosity.
He cannot hear. Shouts or other noises,
even close by the crab have not the
slightest effect upon him. He pursues
his even sideway, inconsiderate alike of
the harsh guffaw or the rich song of the
man’s voice. Yet of movement of a foot
on the sand, of the merest touch on the
ground, he has knowledge immediately
and proceeds to explore the cause of the
vibration of his territory. A little water
poured from a bucket upon the sand is
sufficient to call a convention of crabs
from a circuit of many feet. The expla
nation is that the crab is exceedingly sen
sitive to the merest vibration of the
ground from unaccustomed cause
The crab is more curious than any
woman. One of the men stuck a stake
upright on the beach. At least one of
every twelve of the crabs which passed
that way laboriously climbed that stake
to the top and then awkwardly wriggled
down the other side. When the men
were building their houses from tbe lum
ber they carried thither by schooner, the
crabs crawled up the sides in such num
bers that they had to be swept away so
that the men could work. A derrick
twenty-six feet hijjh was erected for use
in the occupation in which the men were
engaged. The morning after it was raised
the men found four inquisitive crabs on
the top bar seeing what they could see.
Crabs can smell. A piece of meat was
placed on the ground. The crabs on the lee
ward side for a long distance gathered to
a feast, while the crabs, even those close
to the meat, ou the windward side, gave
no attention to the banauet and con
tinued their march in uninterrupted so
lemnity.
The crowning achievement in the
course of observation of crab life in a crab
dominion is the discovery that crabs re
member and communicate. These con
clusions came from the experiences of the
men in keeping tbe crabs from intruding
upon the privacy of the dwellings they
built upon the flat and treeless plain.
When they began their work they were
harrassed almost to death by the' inquis
itive shellfish. After the cabins were
finished, the crabs, uninvited, came in to
inspect what was done.
To keep them out, the doors were kept
constantly closed, aud sheets of tin were
nailed along the threshold. Then a sys
tem of regular instruction of the crab in
the way he should go began. Boards
were placed around the houses, and every
time a crab set claw in a board he was
swept off by a broom. In this education
a broom was worn out, but the crabs
were taught. After daily, hourly, min
utely sweeping of crabs from the boards,
the crabs ceased altogether their
incursions uron the planks. If a
board were laid down on the sand no
crab would even touch it. Therefore
the men say the crabs can remem
ber. Therefore they say that crabs can
communicate. It Is a physical impossi
bility that every crab on the island
should have been swept off those boards,
yet no crab wiggled his way on them
after the system of severe education was
fnlly accomplished. Therefore the swept
crabs must have informed the unswept
crabs that boards were not healthful
places for them to visit. How else could
they know that boards wore not for their
promenade?
LOOUBT YEAR.
The English Sparrow Ready for His
Old-Time Foe.
From the New York Evening Post.
Wheo Henry Thoreau lived on Staten
Island in 1843, as tutor in the family of
Judge William Emerson, the brother of
the Concord philosopher, he wrote a letter
to his mother, on July 7, in which he
sneaks of the 17-year locust or cicada.
("Pray.” says he, "have you the 17-year
, locust in Concord f The air here is tilled
. with their din. They come out of the
ground at first in an imperfect state, and.
crawling up the shrubs and plants, the
perfect insects burst out through the
back.
"lliey are doing great damage to the
fruit and forest trees. The latter are
covered with dead twigs, which in the
distance look like the blossoms of the
chestnut. They bore every twig of last
year’s growth in order to deposit their
eggs in it. In a few weeks the eggs will
be hatched, and the worms fall to the
ground and enter it, and in 1860 make
their appearance again. I conversed about
their coming this season before they ar
rived. They do no injury to the leaves,
but, besides boring the twigs, suck the
sap for sustenance. Their din is heard
by those who sail along the shore
from the distant woods. Phar-r-r-oh.
Phar-r-oh. They are departing now.
Dogs, cats and chickens subsist mainly
upon them in some places.’
This account by Thoreau gives a very
good idea of the life and habits of what
is certainly one of the most remarkable
insects. It must be remembered that he
only refers to one of the broods or colo
nies of the seventeen-year-old locust, for
the insect makes its appearance in great
numbers in different parts of the United
States in different years. Thus, the
brood, of which Dr. Fitch, who was state
entomologist for a long time, wrote of as
inhabiting the valley of the Hudson river,
has appeared in the vicinitv of this city
in 1309, 1326, 1843, 1860 and'in 1877.
I rom this record it will be seen that
1894 is the year for its reappearance, and
in a few weeks, particularly in the latter
part of May and in June, their monoto
nous song will sound along'the woodpaths
and country roads. From the valley of
tbe Hudson this brood extends through
New Jersey into Pennsylvania and Vir
ginia.
In these later days of science, the vari
ous broods throughout the country have
been numbered so that they may be re
ferred to with convenience and accuracy;
and distribution of each is fairly well
knowm.
Between the “locust years” mentioned
above the cicadas have occasionally ap
peared in the vicinity of New York city
in some numbers, though not so plenti
fully as to attract general attention. This
will be readily understood when it is con
sidered that the limits of the various
broods are not sharp, the cicadas appear
ing in decreasing numbers toward their
outskirts, which often slightly overlap.
Consequently when the insects appear in
numbers in portions of Pennsylvania or
Western New York, there will in all prob
ability be a few in this vicinity also.
This was .the case in 1881, 1885, 1889,
1892 and 1893. in each of which years they
were observed on Staten Island or in some
other suburbof the city. Thosethat made
their appearance last summer, and during
that of 1892, were probably precursors of
the general swarm that is to come in a
few weeks and fill the trees with their
din. These forerunners have been known
to appear in some numbers before the ad
vent of the general assembly, and show
that each brood is slightly indefinite in
time as well as in extent.
The English sparrow has proved in the
past a mighty enemy to the periodical
cicada, and bids fair to reduce his kind
considerably. The sparrow usually
catches the insect by one of the fore wings,
whereupon it flaps about violently and
ends by breaking the large rib or vein
that runs along the margin and makes the
wing stiff and capable of striking the air
to some purpose. This rib being broken
the insect cannot fly, and is only capable
of buzzing about on the ground, and the
sparrow may let go his hold and proceed
to attack other vulnerable points, which
he is not slow in doing.
There is also a fungus, known as Mas
sospora cicadina, that is quite destructive
to these insects. Even when they are
alive and quite active, their abdomens
will be filled with tho spores of this fun
gus, and if they are tapped sharply with
the finger, the spores are given forth in a
cloud, reminding one of a similar experi
ment often performed with the common
puff-ball.
QUEER HEBREW PEOPLE. *
Brownsville Settles Its Differences in
the Synagogue.
From the New York Press.
Brownsville contains, perhaps, the
most purely Hebrew population in the
world, and possesses the largest orthodox
community. It has grown many fold in
three years. It forms part of the Twenty
sixth ward of Brooklyn and contains over
•16,000 inhabitants, and were it not for the
hard times which have checked immigra
tion it would have 25,000. It is situated
between Rockaway and Snedaker ave
nues, and between East New York avenue
and Canarsie woods. It looks as
if it were destined to be the
Mecca of the Hebrew race in ■ this
country, and is essentially the home of
orthodoxy. The rabbi is everything in
Brownsville. Its people prefer settling
their differences in the synagogue every
Saturday, with the rabbi as judge, and
the Talmud open before him. Thus a man
is caught kissing another man’s wife, and
he is brought before the rabbi and fined a
dollar, perhaps more, il he can afford it.
Part of the fine is handed over to the so
ciety for teaching the Hebrew language,
and part retained by the rabbi as a fee. If
the offense is more serious, the rabbi di
vorces the erring pair in the coolest man
ner possible, innocently ignoring the law
courts.
THESE HEBREWS ARE SIMPLE.
The Brownsville Jews are very simple
people. A few month ago a smart woman
from New York's East Side, who had set
tled in Brownsville, ran up a bill of $9
with Jacob Kurtz, a butcher of Eastern
Parkway, near Watkins avenue. She
went back to the East Side, but one Sun
day turned up and placed a #SO confeder
ate bill before Kurtz, “I am going to
Europe,” she said, with w-hat appeared
to the delighted butcher, an honest flash
in her eyes, "and want to pay you before
I start.”
Kurtz did not have #4l change, but went
to Kabbi Joseph Lack, of Osborne street,
to whom he owed a few dollars, paid the
debt after the rabbi had cashed tho bill,
and rushed back and gave the cunning
East Sider her balance. Rabbi Lack, the
same day. took the bill to Israel Shopira
(shortened to Spears), to whom he owed
$33 for rent, and presented the confederate
bill-just worth its weight in paper—in
payment. It vras accepted and Spears
gave the rabbi a receipt and sl7 in
good money. Spears owed Mrs.
Davis, in whose house he lives,
some money on a mortgage, and
passed her over the SSO bill, which Mrs.
Davis took in good faith and returned
him change. Afterward Mrs. Davis sus
pected the bill and she consulted Lawyer
lsidor Blatt of Rockaway avenue, who
told her it was no good. Spears returned
Mrs. Davis her money and then went to
the Rabbi Lack for his. The rabbi prom
ised to pay up if Kurtz would settle with
him. but Kurtz is poor and found it im
possible. Spears had the rabbi arrested,
for, unfortunately, Spears is heterodox,
ana has, therefore, some faith in the
United States law courts.
AVERAGE JUSTICE.
The rabbi got out on bail, and then it
was agreed among the orthodox, in order
to prevent scandal, that the matter
should be referred to the arbitration of
Lawyer lsidor Blatt, agreeing to abide
by a decision under penalty of forfeiting
the #3O which each deposited with him.
The decision was that the rabbi should
pay sl3, Kurtz #ls, Mrs. Davis $7, as
being the least to blame, and Spears
should lose sls, the balance of 85 going to
the arbiter for bis trouble.
Rabbi Neignan, of Belmont avenue, is
under a cloud. He comes from Siberia,
and on his first arrival did a flourishing
business in marrying and divorcing and
killing chickens for the faithful. Then
the Kabbi Lack inaugurated a war
against him. and having got the great
Rabbi Joseph, of New York, on his side,
he won. He charged, in the first place
that Neighau was no rabbi at all. and in

“I take pleasure in writing the good I
have received from Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Every spring and summer for six years my
health has been so poor from heart trouble
and general debility that at times life was
a burden. I was so emaciated and
Weak and Palo
that my friends thought I would not live
long. I could do scarcely any work at all
and had to lie down every few minutes. I
began getting worse In January, losing my
flesh and feeling so tired. I thought I
would try Hood’s Sarsaparilla and I am
happy to say lam in better health than for
Hood’ssCures
a number of years. My friends remark to
me: ’Why how well you look.’ I tell them
It Is Hood’s Sarsaparilla that has done the
work. I would have all suffering human

This statement is true to the letter.'*
