against his game. Ii it was against the law

minutes he had worked up quite an excite

and we were not "in." However, as we sat
apart from the crowd benign and benevo-
lent looking man about 50 years old came
over to us and said:
Gentlemen, 1 am Mr.. Jones, of st.
Louis. 1 have four sons. Thisis wicked,
wicked world, and 1 take every precaution
to guide them in right paths. I have heard
of this game, but never saw it before. 1

"Well?''
"Well, I have no small money, If you
could change S20-bill for me think I'd
lose about S. for the benefit of my boys"
The Buffalo man said he'd be only too
happy to oblige, and he gave him four
fves.
The benevolent Mr.. Jones disappeared at
once, but we didn't worry about that. 1t
was only when my friend went: to the ticket
Office and had the $40 thrown back at him
as n. e. that we went out to look for the
benign father of four sons. The earth had
swallowed him up.

Snails are largely consumed by consump-
tives in England who can afford them. Of
course they are imported. The best come
from the vineyards of France, and for this
reason they are considered especially fine.
They are certainly luxury, for tin of
snails cost 4s Cd. Frogs hind legs are
eaten in larger quantities than is generality
supposed. You can't tell them from bit
of chicken; and no doubt good many
people who are not careful about consulting
the menu at swell dinners eat them as such.

ARTISANS RENDERED HOMELESS.

Third-Jewish artisans who in like man
ner had, under the law of 1866, been per-
mitted to settle temporarily in places out
side the 16 counties are now to be expelled
from those places. Tens of thousands of
artisans with their families will, it is said,
be affected by this edict, and renderedhome-
less.
Fourth-Jews are no longer to be allowed
to be in any way connected with mines or
mining industry, nor even to hold shares in
any mine.
Fitth-The Jews will henceforth be prsc-
ticallv debarred from partaking of any edu-
cational advantages, whether in schools,
gymnasia or universities. Hitherto they
have been allowed admission subject to the
Limitation that their number should not ex-
ceed 3 per cent of the total number of
students. Secret instructions have already
been sent requiring the reduction of this
small percentage to still lower limits, and
from many of the higher educational insti-
tutions all Jewish students have been ex-
PEELED. -........
Sixth-The legal profession, in which here
totore a large number of Jews in Russia
haye achieved great success, will in future
be closed to Jewish students. A law has al
ready been put in force requiring the special
sanction of the Minister OF the Interior be-
fore Jew, qualified by examination, may
practice. Since the promulgstion of the law
not single sanction mas been given, and it
is understood that none will be given.
KEPT OUT OF PROFESSIONS.
Seventh-Jews are henceforth prohibited
from following the professions of engineer or
army doctor, or from filling any Government
post, however subordinate.
In the DAYS of the Emperor Nicholas it
was subject of reproach to the Russian
Jews that they were allItraders and not pro-
ducers. That reproach has since been wiped
away, and now an enormous propor-
tion have become skilled artisans, sgri-
culturists and professional men, all
adding largely to the wealth of the
Empire. But under the new repressive
laws all this communal progress is to be re-
versed-the artisan, the farmer and profess
sional man are all to be ruined, and those
who survive the persecution must become
traders in the over-crowded towns.
1t is estimated that the total number of
persons who will be expelled from their
homes under the new law will not be far
from 1000, 900. The consequent migration
and the congestion of the starving fugitives
in those cities where Jews will still be al
lowed to dwell will be so dangerous, and
possibly so pestiiential in its results, that
only one object can be contemplated by the
iustigators of these prosecutions, namely,
the total determination of the 100000
Jews of Russia.

THE CZAR,s EDICT.
Abstract of the Repressive Laws About to
be Enforced.

Abstract OF the Repressive Laws Anout 10
be Enforced.
From the London Times.l
First-Jews throughout Russia (snd in
Guiding Russian Poland) must henceforth
reside in towns only, and not in the country,
No Jew will any longer be permitted to own
land or even to farm land. ALL Jewish land
owners, farmers and agricultural lahorers
will thus be expelled from their village
homes, and unless they have saved the
means of subsistence, will be reduced to
beggary. To intensity the severity OF this
edict, and widen its scope, the Government
officials have included many hundreds of
small towns in the category of country vii
lagos, and expelled the Jews from those
towns In this manner the number Of suf-
ferers from the edict is greatly augmented.
Tens OF thousands OF souls will be thus rem
dered homeless. These laws, known as the
"May Laws" were promulgated in 1882,
but were never put into force until the pres
ent year.
Second-Jews have hitherto been allowed
by law to reside in only 16 of the counties
(gubernia) of Russia. But the law has not
been enforced against Jewish merchants in
many important commercial centers outside
those provinces, such as Riga, Libau,
Rostof, ETC.; for, by a Ministerial circular
OF 1880, Jews long established in such towns
were permitted to remain there unmolested.
The law is now to be strictly enforced. and,
by a recent Ministerial order, all Jews,
numbering many thousands of families,
settled outside the 16 counties, are to be ex-
PEELED.

The success of the Hebrews in higher SCI
entifc pursuits was efectually cut off by an
order which reduces the percentage of those
who may be admitted to the higher institu-
tion of learning almost to zero. The result
is that after spending eight years, as they
must, in schools graduating to what would
be our central high school. only one hun
dredth part of the Jewish graduates can
ever get into college of medicine or engi-
neering. The last copy of the Voschod tells Of
the lite of NJ. Rabbinowich, who was driven
to despair, starvation and suicide by this
rule. Out of respect for Jewish scientists in
Russia and disrespect for the oppression OF
the Jews, the last medical congress refused
to meet in st. Petersburg.
1t is on account of the revival of the
meanest forms of Russian persecution of the
Jews that an influx to America is looked
for, and the Jewish Alliance is about to call
a mass meeting to further the movement to
prepare a plan of distributing them over
the country as they come.

stolen by some one who had obtained access
to my room during my absence from the
hotel. Fortunately there was no money in
it, having changed tine greater part OF my
gold Into notes, which, for safety, 1 carried
about my person. Due notice was given
of the robbery to the police, and there, as
far as l was concerned, 1 expected the mat
ter would end. A week had passed, when
one afternoon was waited On by two police
officers, one of whom, producing the cats
eye ring which had been my uncle's, de-
manded to know whether it was not my
property.
No sooner had he put the Question than it
flashed across me what had happened, and,
in an instant, was on my guard. Taking
the ring in my fingers, turned it over as ii
to examine it. "No," said, sit is certainly
not my property; I wish it were. never,
to my knowledge, set eyes on it till this mo-
ment. But why do you ask such ques-
tion?"
Without answering me, he pulled out of
his pocket the canvas bag which had held
my uncle's money, and had his initials
stamped on it. perhaps you will say that
you have never seen this before?' he re-
marked drily. "That 1 certainly never
have" was my reply, sand now, perhaps,
you will explain why am m-honored with
this visit?''
His explanation, part of which I could
guess already, was to the effect that the ring
had been offered at a pawnbroker's by the
man who stole my portmanteau; the pawn
broker, having recognized it, owing to the
description of 1t which had been circulated,
had detained the man and sent for the po-
lice The man had at once confessed that
the ring was in the stolen portmanteau
and that the latter article was
at the cloakroom of certain rail-
way terminus, where he had lodged it imme-
lately after his arrival in town, first taking
the ring out Of it, but leaving the rest OF its
contents intact. On the portmanteau being
searched, the empty cash bag was found
slowed away in one corner Of it..
The question that now required to be solved

TO DEVELOP TRADE SOUTH.

Western capitalists have been awake
for some time to the possibilities Of Span
ish America. The Honduras company
of Chicago has just been incorporated
under the laws of Illinois. The incorpo-
ratOrs, who are western and southern
capitalists, are confident of large returns
from the breeding and improvement of
domestic animals, cultivation Of agricul-
tlral products, etc. The capital stock is
So, 900, 900 and the company has pur-
chased over /, 000. 900 acres of land in
Honduras, near the coast, the sale being
made on condition that the land be i'm
proved and used for the rearing of stock.
The capitalists who are interested in the
scheme are stock-raisers, and they pro-
pose to devote themselves at first to the
raising of mules, which find a ready sale
in Central America. Some time ago z.
=. Perry, one of the incorporates of the
company, secured in its behalf from the
Honduras government a large grant
along the Patuca river, which is now oc-
cupied by Americans, who are largely
engaged in the raising of tropical fruit,
principally bananas. 1t is expected that
in a short time a steamship line will be
established between New Orleans and
Galveston and a point within the grant,
thus providing for the export of produc-
tons,
