A VALUABLE BOOK.
French Jews Offer n Fabulous Amount for
An Ancient Hebrew w Bible.

French Jews Oner Fabulous Amount for
An Ancient Hebrew Bible.
ROME, May 1s.-A syndicate has been
formed OF wealthy French Jews for the
purpose of purchasing for the Jews the
copy Of the Hebrew Bible which is in the
Vatican. The offer which has been made
for II is $4,000, but il is stated that the
Pope cannot legally sell it. This is the
most valuable book in the world. Ii is the
most famous Bible there is i'm existence.
and this is by no means the first time that
Hebrews have tried 10 purchase it. Some
thing like century or more ago the
Hebrews of Spain, France and Italy
offered for the book its weight in gold and
more, the offer being equal in magnitude
to the present one. The offer was refused,
just as the present offer in all probability
will he.
The book is the property of the congre-
CATION OF the propaganda. and Is probably
the most valuable feature OF the polyglot
library and printing office of the congre-
CATION, which have no equals, the collec-
tons in the Vatican library being con-
si,lered more valuable than even those i'm
the British museum. although less numer-
Gus. The Bible is m the original Hebrew
manuscript. The exact time when il was
written has never been satisfactorily de-
termined any more than il came into pos
session of the congregation, founded by
Pope Gregory Nv, some 300 years ago.
The persons who have seen the valuable
manuscript are very few. That the chief
treasure Of the propaganda will be sold is
altogether improbable. The Roman
authorities have steadfastly refused tn
recognize any amount of money as being
an equivalent for this book, and the pres
ent composition of the congregation of the
propaganda is such as to preclude the
idea Of any change now.

WILD FiNANCiERS,
The Father OF the PapAl Bank L. on Deck
A New Field for Financial Operations.

New YORK, May 1s.-The Universal As
sociation Bank and Trust company will
begin its operations In this city before the
summer ends. Nearly every preliminary
detail has been completed for the estab-
lishment of great financial enterprise,
upon wholly new system, and little re-
mains to be done excepting to carry out
the plans. Officers have been elected,
capital subscribed and applications for
the endorsement of not less than S400,-
100000 in bonds have already come up for
consideration.
1t is organized by Col. G. W. c. Ley
bourn, who came into great notoriety
some time ago as the father of scheme
to establish Papal bank in this country
with branches i'm Europe. The new instr
tuition has many features like the one
originally proposed. II is organized under
n very flexible Kentucky charter and Il Is
to open a comparatively new field FOR
financial operations, which can be devel-
oped TO enormous proportions.
1t intends to guarantee interest on rail-
ways bonds. The idea is that when a road
is in course Of construction il usually has
to sell its bonds at about 20 per cent OF
their full value, i'm order to obtain money
interest on the full amount. The univer-
sal company will guarantee this interest
and take from 10 to Is per cent OF the ag-
gregate amount guaranteed for its COM
pensation. The bank can then dispose
Of the guarantee bonds at large ad-
vance.
The directors of the bank include Baron
de Bernard of Paris, who has been APP
pointed administrator of the French
branch, and &. Curt of Rome, who will
have charge of the Italian branch; Don
Paolo Bor9hcse, Prince de Gulmoni,
Menotti Carlo, Tomasso Battista, form
erly postmaster general of Italy, and
Counselor Waldorf II. Phillips Of this
city.
The directors have subscribed $4,000
and have signed n contract to deliver to
an American syndicate S10,00O,UO Of
stock, upon which S2,5OO,0O0 will be paid
in cash.

lowers. he same style of proceedings and
resolutions, with slight changes in
the wording TO suit time and place, are pass
ed ut each meeting with singular unanimity,
as if th:y came from headquarters Of the
boss, who says publicly, II am running the
Tillman Machine" and 81 am the dog that
wags the tail of the party" and any man
that opposes these resolutions sent from these
headquarters will be Rad out Of the party.
Occasionally some one, fearing his fidelity
to the Tillman cause may be doubted gets up
one or two extra resolutions, more denun-
ciatory and bitter against the democrat tic
party and its o,d mbess, and has them
attached TO the maybe authorized resolutions.
