Refuge For Hebrews.

LONDON, March 25.-Some papers OF
the late Lord Beaconsfeld show that he
was confident of war with Russia during
the latter stages of the Russo-Turkish
conflict, and very much disappointed that
it did not take place. In the latter event
Crete, as well as Cyprus, would have
been numbered among England's posses.
sions. ~ ,.,s,.,s
But his main hope, as is proved by cor
respondence with wealthy lsraeliies
throughout the world, was the romantic
one of inducing Turkey to grant enlarged
concessions to Hebrews then resident or
who should become resident in Jerusi
lem. They could never become formida-
ble to Turkish power there, it was urged,
and no official recognition of their satus
would compel a cessation of the i'll treat
ment to which, as visitors or inhabitants
they have been subjected for centuries by
Musselman and Christian alike.

DENVER, March 25.-Yesterdy was not
q day of rest for som of the railroads, as
the Missouri Pacific took the lead in an.
nouncing rate to Kansas City, st. Joe
Leavenworth and Atchiscn for $3.50
The Rock Island and Santa Fe routes,
however, glanced over their hands in Il
cursory manner and quickly decided that
the bluff should be called, and forthwith
duplicated the rate, all to take effect to-
day.
The Burlington and Union Pacific,
however, are not as yet in the game, and
have given no intrnation to the effect
that they will meet the cut. This evident
IL means war or peace, and may precipi-
tate action OF the Trans Missouri assoca,
ton. The officials were reticent and de-
velopments are being awaited with fever

company, circulated at Salt Lake City,
has been received here, wherein it is
claimed said company has an exclusive

The prospectus offers stock of said rail-

cents worth of milk for the newsboy
mother. Then the grocer paid it out
10 an expressman, with some silver. Ii
got in with its betters, and was uncom'
Portable until il got into a bar-room
till" After that it led a lowly life.
For years the owner of the bar-room
kept it on the table when he played cards
with his customers. He said it was hi'
"lucky penny"
One night, late, a middle-aged mar
came in begging. Without thinking,
its owner for ifteen years tossed it tc
the beggar with al oath. That was all
he got there. The cent went into his
pocket. He was poor. From that time
he began to grow rich. The ccnt got
credit for his good luck. Though un.
fortunate itself, it had always brought
luck to others. Ii never left its last
owner i saw him grow from "A poor
to a rich man, and from a middle-aged
to an old miser. The more he got the
more he wanted. There was nothing
short of murder he would not do for
money. He robbed his best friends,
and they never knew it. He passed foi
a good man. He was the greatest.
the most magnificent hypocrite that
lived. This is what he used to whis.
per to his smooth, shining. and lucky
penny.
Well, the other penny stuck to the
young fellow on his way through Eu
rope. When he came back. after hap
ply years Of wandering. he had q velvet
case made for the lucky cent. The
first day it left his pocket for the case
he was killed in a runaway. Histhings
went to this one aud that, and the cent
was shot at in a shooting gallery for 9
number of years. No bullet ever
struck it. Everybody knew that. and
every body wanted it. So il was finally
sold for $2. and lost by the gambler
who bought it, and found by the miser.
and il went into the latter's pocket
and found its twin after fifty-iye
years. Two nights ago the miser
choked to death on a piece OF hard
bread. They came and placed him ir
