A Rabbits Tribute.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Rabbi Brow ne, IS
this morning preached sermon eulogistic
Of the deceased In the temple Gates Of Hope
In this city. The Rabbi said: ~ wish to
say from this sacred spot that the Jews have
lost great friend In the death Of General
Grant. I know great deal Of irritstio n
was caused at one time by order No. II,
and In reference to that order speak the
whole truth. Last April, you may remem-
Der, wrote an article on the subject, quot
ing my conversation with President Grant
in his cottage at Long Branch, August Is,
1875. Gen. Grant later, reading the COM
munication to the press, said to DR.. New
man: Il consider 1t now my duty to make
known = secret have kept these twenty
years and locate the responsibility upon the
proper paities. That order came to me
from Washington direct. protested against
1t, but had to promulgate IL against my
will. shall make this statement In my
book DR.. Newman communicated that
message to me In the name Of Gen. Grant
the following Monday In his own house.
Moses liberated three million people, his
own brethren, from Egyptian bondage.
Grant liberated three million people, rice
not his own, from American bondage, over
the bodies Of his own brethren breaking the
negroes chains. These three millions of
broken chains the angels In heaven have
been linking together, 80 that our Amer lean
Moses might climb on his self made path to
the realms OF bliss and shake hands with his
prototype, our Moses Of old. The day of
Grants death comes 80 near the anniversary
Of the fall Of Jerusalem that the fact is fixed
In the Jewish calendar to be remembered
by oil Jews"
At the conclusion Rabbi Browne prayed
for the departed soul, the whole congregs-
ton (by order Of President Frey rising and
reciting the Khadish. "Tbis Is . prayer"
said Rabbi Browne, "never recited for q
non.Jew before" ave say 1t only for our
dead parents" said one Of the officers, "and
no Rabbi ever heretofore bestowed such IN
honor upon Gentile." Rabbi Browne and
Congregation shed tears during the eulogy
and prayers.

Tribune-Repubiicon.

A Colorado Springs special says One of
the most disastrous cloud bursts ever known
in this section of the State struck point q
few>milss north Of this city last midnight /;
but for the fact that the storm struck the
west side of the hill where the water flowed
in the opposite direction, the loss Of life
must have been appalling. Several railroad
and wagon bridges In the vicinity were car
ried away, and a large amount Of track was
swept out. The house Of b. A. P. Eaton,
Supt. of Schools, in the western part of the
city, was lifted from It's foundation and car
ried down the stream with great velocity.
In the house Mt the time were Mr.. and Mrs.
Eaton, who had Just retired for the night.
Soon rs the former realized their situation,
he jumped from the door Of the floating
dwelling, instructing his wife to do the same.
After a hard struggle he succeeded in reach
ing place Of safety. Instead Of Jumping
the wife chung to the house, which struck
the Denver s. New Orleans r. r. bridge a
hundred yards below, and was dashed to
pieces. A diligent search failed to discover
any trace of Mrs. Eaton's body. Several
families living further up the creek barely
escaped with their lives.
Later reports from Luckless valley, north
of town, indicate that the devastation and
loss of life is greater than at first supposed
On the slopes of Shocks Run there were q
number of summer campers. Many OF their
tents could be seen floating in the stream,
and as the food came down at the dead OF
night, 1t Is feared that many have persisted.
One body, that of Swede woman, is report
ed to have been found several miles below
town. News from Shocks Run Is awaited
with intense anxiety. d..
The Mayor Of Colorado Springs esti mates
the damages from Saturday nights food at
s25 1000, principally in the country.
Mrs. Eaton's body has not yet been found.
1t Is now believed the campers on Shocks
Run were notified Of the coming food, and
reached place of safety. The damages of
last nights food At Cherry Creek will not
exceed $4,000.

Gen. Grants Memoir,,

NEW YORK, July A.-The Sun saws: Mrs
Grants share of the proceeds of Genera
Grants book, personal Memoirs of U. 8
Grant" will be between $500, 900 and $500, 600
Publisher G. L. Webster says the guarantee
sales Of 200 600 sets Of books already made
by agents assured her $500, 900. Four thou.
sand agents are now gathering subscriptions
and the number win seon be increased Ia
5000. The work will be issued In two vol.
umes, to be published separately, about Dec
/ and March next respectively. The book
will be.sold exclusively by subscription. Mr.
Webster sails for Europe on Aug. to arrange
for the publication Of the book in England.
France, Germany, Italy and Austria. Nor.
wegian and Portuguese publishers have made
overtures to publish the book. Mrs. Grant
will have large percentage on the sales Of
the book In foreign countries. Mr.. Webster
went to Mount McGregor last Saturday
with the last proofs Of the book Gen. Grant.
In his sick room, heard mans voice at the
door and asked who was there. "Mr. Web
ster," he was told. "Oh, that's good" he
said. "He's got the book" Propped mn in
his chair the General read the proofs and
MADE change In the map Of the battle of
Champions Hill tHenos county. Miss, in
the vicksburg campaign. He wanted Gen.
Sherman put In at Belton's station. Gen.
Sherman wasn't in the thick Of the fight,
Gen. Grant explained to his publisher, but
he was marching to the battlefield with his
troops. The last thing Gen. Grant did in his
book was to revise the battle OF Shiloh, a
note In regard to General wallace's part
The change was favorable to Gen. Wallace.
Last Sunday afternoon, while Mr.. Webster
was at McGregor, Gen. Grant hobblsd out on
the veranda Of the house twice. The second
time was at 4:3o o'clock In the afternoon.
The air was quite cool, but he remained half
an hour. He appeared SO strong that Mr..
Webster thinks now that Gen. Grants re.
solve t. finish his book and SO provide for
his wife Ii what kept him alive SO long.

Draping the House in which Grant was Born.
POINT PLEASANT, Ohio, July 24.-The
members of Zeno II. Scott Post No. 27o, G..
A. R., of Moscow, knowing that the time for
their distinguished comrade to be called
from the earthly camp would some come,
made arrangements some two months ago
for drsping the house In which he was born
in mourning when the news Of his death
should reach them. Not having telegraph
or telephone to connect us TO the outer
world, the sad news Of his death was not
received here until too late for the service of
love to be performed yesterday. Two wag.
ons loaded with men who had fought for
the same country and under the same flag
with him, went down to the humble cottage.
Flags draped in mourning were placed in
the doors and windows, and the Posts colors
run up to half-msst over the west gable of
the building. While the company there as
sembled was of necessity small, 1t included
representatives Of the infantry, cavalry, ar
tillery and navy, each holding the memory
of the General as that Of true and noble
commander. The house, small frame cot
tage, whose original dimensions were 22s20
feet, Is in 3 good state of preservation. The
large chimney which stood at the east end
had to be taken down to prevent Its falling,
but Mr.. Hirsch says he intends rebuilding 1t
with the same bricks. The inside of the
house is unchanged. The dressed upper
joist with the upper floor dressed on the
lower side is the only ceiling. The front
room Is 1ox14, with two windows and two
outside doors, besides the door that enters
the bedroom, which Is 1913, and contains
two rooms. The work of the Post being
completed, Post Commander McMath de-
tailed First Sergeant Purchaser, of the
First o. 1. A., as guard Of honor, and he
was left tramping his beat in front Of the
spot that has become sacred to the hearts of
the Nation.

OUR LOCAL RAILROAD RATES.

Notwithstanding the lapse Of time, the
strong representations Of the press, which
but voices the sentiment Of Montana, aud
the continuous oppression Of the case, we
have as yet heard no intimation from the
railroad companies that they will concede
Montana fair local railroad rates. The
roads are now established and all the operat-
ing departments scaled down to the most
economical working basis-so low that op-
Grating expenses are but trife more here
than In the Eastern Ststes-yet there the
passenger fares are restricted by State enact.
ments TO three cents per mile, while here
the companies charge eight cents per mile.
It is furthermore q we'll known fact that the
traffic Of Montana, ct low through rates,
makes this one of the best paying regions
penetrated By these railroads, and that, es.
pecially on the U. p. system, cars and
engines are transferred here by scores and
hundreds from less profitable branches, and
yet the rolling stock north Of Pocatello Is
scarcely adequate TO the demands upon It.
With this state of affairs comes no encour-
sgement TO local producers and shippers
and no modification of passenger fares that
are maintained so that transit Is as high Is
In the days Of the OK train and stage coach.
As an abstract fact, fares are exorbitantly
high, and rs q business proposition the rail-
road companies are working against their
own interests. II an excursion rate of $3.50
can be profitably given from Butte here and
return, 1t seems unreasonable that the regu-
lar fare should be $8.40-snL II Is unreason-
able. The Montana 1oca! rates should be
reduced to five cents per mile al the utmost
The thousand mile tickets 10 certain favored
travellers are sold at that rate, or less,
and 1t Is enough for the transient traveller.
II there were opposition the rates would not
be half that, aud there would probably still
be working profit. II Is better that CON-
panles should commend themselves by fair
business treatment while they have exclu-
sive fields. We trust these matters will
receive favorable consideration. They are
not sgitated for fun but TO obtain redress of
what are real grievances to the people Of this
Territory. II Is hoped the railroad COM
panies will consider them as presented with
this object, and that the press Of the Terri
tory, as the exponent of public opinion, will
see that the question Is not overlooked
through lack of attention being called
thereto.

labor and amusements and by appropriate religious
services In their places of public worship.
