NEW IOhh, huSuoh 10, 1910
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Feeling that the following questions, II answered,
VIII prove of interest to a large number OF your
readers, have no hesitancy in placing them and
my grievance before you Have yachts sailboats,
&C., any rights which steamboat pilots are bound
TO respect; and are not steam vessels required by
law 10 keep at certain distance from sailing ves
sells in passing themY Have not sailing vessels OF
any size, at all times, the right OF way over steam
boats An outrage perpetrated by the pilot OF the
steamboat Harlem think ought to be made public
therefore request the publication of the follow.
ing:-Tuesday evening last while enjoying myself
in my boat, the John G. Hoyt, on the Harlem
River, and when of 10th street. the steamboat
Harlem came tearing down towards me at her
usual iast rate OF speed, whistling for me to get
out OF her way. Presenting that had the right OF
way, and not wishing to give the pilot OF the Har-
lem any reason TO think that was undecided what
course TO pursue, Kept steadily on my course. At
the time ! was close hauled, heading up stream.
Had desired to give way to the Harlem and stand
or could not have done so, owing to a reef OF
rocks on the lee bow, ana to have gone about
would have been folly as the boat would have been
down on her by the time could have got my sails
trained down on the starboard tack AS q conse-
quence Of this course came very near being run
down, the Harlem passing 80 near that was actu-
ally under her guard, abreast the wheel, and had
considerable water thrown into my boat and on
myself The carelessness OF the pilots on the Har-

THE RODMAN RUMOR,

cidentally, or through fOrgetfulness, key which
unlocked small safe In the City Treasurer's ONCE,
led to considerable comment among business and
political circles. The circumstance was magni1ed
in the popular mind because Of the alleged
disagreeabe mishap that befell the Brooklyn Trust
Company, in the expose OF last month. The alb
sentee was secretary OF that institution, and had
overdrawn his account there to the amount Of
$34,O00 for which he had placed deposit COL
lateral In the shape OF bonds of the Connecticut
Town and New Haven and Williamantic Railroad
These bonds are represented by the new President
OF the Trust Company as perfectly salts
surer, does not believe that his late
deputy Is a defaulter to the city, but as soon
as the expert now engaged in examining the Trust
Company's books Is at leisure he will have him
employed to go over the City Treasurer's books.
As soon as Mr.. Rodman read the article in the
morning papers lie telegraphed TO Brooklyn as fol-

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
In a late number of the HERALD. under the head
ing, Theological Conundrums," "D. L. d. asks
"IIow can the genealogy Of Christ. as given by
Matthew and Luke, be correct as Matthew states
that there were f0rty-two generations from Abra-
ham TO Jesus, while Luke informs us there were
nfty-six generations ?''
The answer is simple and OF hand. The phrase
shook Of the generation Of means in our usage,
"the genoalogy," or tho "famiiy record Of" and
the phrase ''son of denotes descendant Of" ex-
actly as we say, eve are all sons OF Adam--t e.,
descendants Of Adam; or, as clearly implied In
matthew L., 1-"Jesus Christ the son of David,r
sthe son OF Abraham !" and in the twentieth verse
Joseph, th0u son Of David--meaning most
clearly, descendant OFF, &C. These records by no
tons are found In each or either OF them. "D. l..
d. further says:-"A no less wonderful difference
Ia that Matthew asserts that Jesus descended from
Solomon, the son OF David. while Luke states that
he descended from Nathan, the son of David
Thus the question arises whether either OF these
historians Is correct; II SO, which one ~
His grammar leaves room for the correct answer;
both are correct, the explanation being that David
was father OF both Nathan and solomon. 1t was
dren his brother should take his widow to wife
Thus, therefore, the two families OF Nathan and
Solomon were probably intermingled Nathan,
descended from Solomon, married Estha, Of whom
Jacob was born, and alter the death OF Nathan
