The Coming Judge.


Our ''saucy' contemporary, the I.ans-
ford Record, says of District Attorney
Rapsher, of Mauch Chunk, former citi-
zen of this city. as follows;
I'm 1885 the Democratic county convention
nominated him for District Attorney, to which
Office he was duly elected after spirited con-
test. He assumed the responsible duties of his
Office for the term of three years. which expires
January lst
"The Office OF District Attorney was never
filled with more ability than Mr. Rapsher
brought to it. Many important cases were
tried during his term. A noticeable one was
the Mud Run case of last spring, when L. V. r.
X. employees were charged with criminal negli-
gence in causing the accident,
"Prior to his residence in Mauch Chunk. he
resided In Lehighton, where he served as
member Of the Borough Council for years, and
one term as school director, and where he was
also engaged and interested from time to time
in number OF important business enterprises.
"He has attained a high position in his chos-
en- profession, solely on merit and by his own
exertions, and established a character for hon.
esty and integrity of purpose. He is an orator
of no mean ability, ready and fluent In speech
OIL matters pertaining to outside subjects as
well as those OF the law. He, probably oftener
than any other citizen of this county, has pub
iicly raised his voice in behalf Of the laboring
portion Of humanity.
"Within the last few years he has contributed
several valuable papers upon the leading ques-
tions OF the day. Last year his able article In
the Century Magazine, on TRUSTS" was widely
quoted. He has also taken hold of the question,
the single tax idea. and has contributed several
Interesting papers on that.
Frequently his name is mentioned as good
man to succeed Judge Dreher next year. who
will then have rounded out his score of years as
President Judge. Judge Dreher's advancing
years, and the almost dead sure thing that II
elected he could not possibly serve his term. and
as the vacancy by death would be followed by q
Republican appointment people who have the
interests of the Democratic party at heart looK

THE MINISTER HEARS A LOUDER
CALL.

Beloved fock," the parson said, then
paused and wiped his eyes.
GAS pastor and as people we must sever

Eve call to go to Blanktown to be theil

A call so loud to disobey, I fear, would
grieve the Master
Replied the spokesman of the flock: Gal
though loud the call may be
Well call you louder to remain; an x fo'
Those Blanktown people offer you we'll give
to keep you here.
We trust you'll hear voice divine, oul
calls so loud and clear"
With sobbing voice the parson said: "MJ
duty's clearar now;
I'll stay with you, beloved ones; to heaven
will l bow.
So let us sing 'Blest be the tie,' and sing i
clear and strong;
To leave you when you call so loud woule
be exceeding wrong"

night the Board of Directors, and
President, and a General Manager
or two, and three ce-Presidents
knocked and prayed that they
might make speech with the most
wise and just Caliph. And he
suffered them to enter and they
fell on their faces and worshiped
him, and then the president spake
saying:
"Commander of the faithful,
Mahomet is mighty, and thou are
his true vicar on earth. By the
beard of the prophet there has
been trouble with the Mecca linn
tied. Great Caliph, many of thy
subjects are no more. Thus it
was: The locomotive was a new
one and it became frightened at a
bicycle and snorted a couple of
times and jumped into the ditch.
Truly we knew not that it was
one of these skittish locomotives.
o, mighty son of the prophet, we
rend our shirts that it is so. But
the ways of Allah are mysterious!''
"Mesrour," said the Caliph, ''it
seems to me that l have heard
this story before"
"You have, son of Mahomet,"
s.The engine SHE'D on them
well, you know the old prescrip
tion-give 'em the same-razzle
dazzle 'em!''
And the great Caliph, who was
wise and good as he was great
took up the blessed Alcoran ane
read its words, but ere he coulc
finish page they were razzled.
For Mesrour never let business
accumulate on his hands.
And it happened that there was
no more accidents in the land o
the commander of the faithlu
even unto this day.
The other railroad folks took th'
hint.
But in closing it should be sai'
that this is far country indeed

PRIZE FIG WELCOMED.

Sullivan and Kilrain must feel
like kicking themselves and also
their managers for selecting spot
in Mississippi for the recent fistic
battle, since they have learned
that Texas not only has no law
against prize fighting, but encour-
ages it by providing a license law
for that purpose. The last legis-
lature of that state passed a law
on this subject, Of which the main
section is the following: s'For
every fight between man and man,
or between men and bulls. Or be-
tween dogs and bulls, or between
bears and dogs, or between bulls
and any other animals, or between
dogs and dogs, $500 for each per-
formance."
In referring to this law, one
Texas paper says that it was passed
for the express purpose of inducing
Sullivan and Kilrain to settle their
difficulty in that state, but for some
reason the managers of the fight
we're not informed of the existence
of the law until after the fight,
and the Mississippi officers were
hard on the track of the pugilists.
This is particularly unfortunate
for the two principals who are
now in the clutches of the law,
and will have to expend quite a
sum of money and probably term
in prison before the majesty of
the law is satisfied; whereas, had
they known of the Texas law and
taken advantage of it, they could
have deposited their $3.50 and
fought as long as they wished with
perfect security and serenity.
Texas is the only state in the
Union that legalizes prize fighting:
There are other states, however,
that have no law against such en-
counters, but they do not openly
encourage them.

A RAILROAD IN PALESTINE,

Travellers, past or prospective,
into the Holy Land will be inter-
ested to know that a modern rail-
road is about to penetrate Pales(
tine and connect Jaffa with Jeru~
salem. A company Of English
and French bankers have acquired
a concession from the Sultan of
Turkey for this enterprise, and
have had their preliminary sur
veys made. 1t is a purely bust
ness undertaking, induced by the
increase of travel during recent
years. The road will appteaeh
Jerusalem from the northeast,
passing through the valley Of Je-
hosaphat and by the, tombs of the
Kings, entering the city through
Herod's Gate. The route south
of Jerusalem, to Bethlehen1, has
not yet been surveyed, nor has the
site for a depot in Jerusalem BEEN
selected. The gentlemen who are
interested in the enterprise say
that as it will be largely tourists
road care will be taken to provide
strictly first-class accommodations.
Coaches of American build are to-
| form part of the rolling stock
including probably drawingcroom
and Pullman cars.
There is some curiosity express
ed among the speculative as to the
effect of such an intensely modern
fact as railroad with its time
schedule and steam whistle upon
the reverential influence whieh
envelopes the pilgrim to Palestine
tbs probable that this effect will
be slight. The traveller whose
pious spirit has not been ruffied by
the Turkish tradesmen and beg
gars of Jerusalem will probably
not mind steam engine or two
The alr of sanclity which pfevades
the capital of Judea is beyond all
the powers of modern materialsm
to disperse.
