When Ibsen writes a new drama
he goes about it so secretively that
not even the members of his own
family know what the subject is.
He copies the manuscript himself,
and it is said that a printer has
never received neater copy. The
punctuation is perfect and the pa
per spotless. Finally, just before
the manuscript is sent away it is
read to the assembled family, but
net even then does the playwright
reveal the title. That is added at
the very last.
Last week for the first time
Queen Victoria heard Adelina Patti
sing. This will sound atnngely to
the many who do not know that
for many years there has not been
the kindest feeling between her
maj j sity and the famous singer.
Ttie coolness arose when P -tti de
clined to appear before her. Ou
that occassion she said: “There are
many queens’ but there is only-one
Patti!” The trouble, such ai it was
must have been fixed up. Patti is
now in her fifty-third year, and
has of course, lost much of her
charm. For forty years she has
been before the public as a pro
fessional.

THE HUSTLER OF ROME,WEDNESDAY DECEMBER. 19 1894-.
THE VENABLE BILL.
Govenor Atk nsoj has signed the
Venable insurance broker’s bill,
and it is now a law.
The effect of the law, if its pur
pose is realized in actuid operation,
will be to reduce the costof fire in
surance by giving companies which
have no deposite of S2S,(MR) with
the State Treasurer an opportunity
to p'ace business in this State 1
thr nigh brokers.
It was intended by the author
of the law to strike a death blow j
to the Southeastern Tariff As-ocia
tiou, but the probability is that it
will fall short in that respect, as
all companies having agencies in |
Georgia will continue to be mem- j
here to the combination. There will j
be two distinct classes or grades ;
of fire insurance. One will be the I
old companies, or those with ipu
ciea within the S'ate and having
complied with the $25,000 deposit
law, and the other will be risks
p’aced by companies having no
agents in this State and no deposit
in the treasury.
Under the Venable law the
insurance man who takes a risk is
the agent of the insured, net of
the insurance company. It is
claimed that the insur-ince placed
through these brokers will be at a
much lower rate than that fixed
by the Southeastern Tariff Associ
ation, and that consequently this
c repetition v ill result in a gener
al decrease in the cost of insurance
on the other hand, it is not denied
that the gates are opened to ine
sponJble wildcat companies, and
some people may suffer at their
hands, but the theory upon which
the new law is based is that every
man is entitled to transact his own
busines without paternal interfer
ence by the State and that every
mau must look out for himself and
not be cought for a “sinker'' —

THE JEWS IN CHINA
In the London Monthly Biblia a
highly interesting article is pub
lished that in the district Kai-fung
su there are still two hundred Jew
ish heads of families who are desig
n ited by the Chinese people as
prehistoric immigrants, upon
which term some philological dif
ferences seem to prevail.
These Chinese Jews, who wear
the same fashions and epeak the
same language as the Chinese,
have no temple. Notwithstanding,
two marble tablets were found
among some ruins in the year 1850,
with Chinese inscriptions dated re
spectively 1488 and 1511, of which
English translations have been
made.
It is intimated therein that the
Jews had immigrated in the fifth
century to China. It is evident
that these Jews had known tfio
Mishna, because the text in the
tablets refers to the six “classics”
so that it might be transmitted to
later generattons. The author
thinks that the term “classics”
meant a Chinese figure of calcula
tion.
But there is no doubt that when
one takes the text together in its
general meaning it refers to the six
divisions of the Mishna. It is spec
ially made clear that the scripture
could only be made clear by the
“eternal wisdom.”
If anything, it should be read
“tradition.” Isiah’s prophecy,
that the Jews shall return from
the land of the “Sinim,” is liter
ally true. The celebrated traveler,
Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen,
who made a journey through Chi
na, relates that he discovered in a
Southwest province a Jewish com
munity. Although they spoke only
Chinese and had the same manners
as the Chinese they had the Jewish
type of physiognomy very distinct
ly impressed.
He made inquries regarding them
and found that they had immi
grated many thousand years ago,
and had possessed sacred writings,
of which many are well preserved.
Richthofen himself had seen tem
ples which had Hebraic inscrip
tions, which the people could not
read.
Thora scrolls, of which they also
know very little, exist there.' Only
since a few geuerattons past did
these immigrants intermarry with
the Chinese, and they have now
no knowledge of their origin.
