wolves, coyotes, cats and panthers,"
says The Rrackett Tex.) News, "are
multiplying under the protection of the
barbed wire fence and the apathy of the
state Legislators. A few years since a
thorough scalp law would have settled
forever the wild animal question in
Texas at a small expense. Now it will
cost twice the money, and meantime
stockmen and farmers have lost many
times the money in calves, colts and
sheep killed. In a few years things will
be much worse. A ranchman, G. A.
Anderson, of Kinney county, has been
compelled to buy a pack of hounds and
turn huntsman to protect his flock from
the increasing ravages of panthers. The
sumo thing is happening all over Texas.
1t is about time for the state legislature
to give some attention to the matter, or
for the western districts at least to be-
gin to send men CT average common

DR.. Isidore Labatut, who died re-
Gently at New Orleans in the ninety
eighth year of his age, was in several
ways a remarkable man. Although
q native of Louisiana and n resi-
dent of that state for tie larger
part Of his life, he could not speak q
word of English, and persistently refused
to learn the language. He received his
professional education in Paris, where
he studied for sixteen years.
While in France he was attached to
the surgeons corps of Napoleon's army
as a student in 1904. He saw Nicholas
of Russia, the emperor Of Austria and
King Frederick William III of Prussia
when they arrived iu Paris, and he was
there when Louis XVIII returned after
the Punishment of Napoleon to the island
of Elba, and was also present at the de-
feat of Napoleon at Waterloo. Grad
uating in 1878, DIR. Labatut returned to
New Orleans in 1922.
He was possessed of large inherited
wealth, and in the practice of his profes-
sion made no difference between the
treatment given invalids unable to pay
and those who could satisfy any profes.
sional demand for fees. He retained his
mental faculties to the last, but for Q
twelvemonth previous to his deceas,
spent his time in well earned retirement

The Jewish Chronicle relates this in
cident of the persecution of Jews at
Odessa: "a Mr.. Axelrod, accompanied
by his wife and baby in arms, intended
to go by train to the K~hadshibey Salt
lakes, a distance of about eight miles.
There is always n rush for seats on this
line in consequence of the ~inadequacy Of
cars. However, Mr.. Axelrod managed
to get Il seat, but his wife was left
standing. Upon his rising to let his
wife sit down a certain general quickly
occupied the vacant seat. Mr.. Axelrod
appealed to this general (who, as event
ually transpired, is n great friend of the
governor) to allow the lady to sit down,
as, with a child to hold, it was very diff
cult to stand for over an hour. The re-
ply he got vas 'Parschivie Schide' d. e.,
cursed jews. Retaliation was cut Of
the question, particularly with a gem
eral whose influence and authority are
like a kings in miniature. Two young
Jewish students, however, protested
against such conduct and they were i'm
mediately arrested. 1t is almost impos-
sible for a Jew to walk the streets with
out being insulted."

The late H.. David Dudley, of Presque
Isle, was a great tobacco hater. He
would not sell the weed in his store and
would not allow any one to smoke on his
premises. While Hon. Hannibal Ham
lin was vice president he visited Presque
Isle, and being well acquainted with Mr..
Dudley called on him. The honorable
vice president was smoking a cigar when
he entered the shop. Mr.. Dudley, glad
to see him, shook him by the hand and
then said, "Mr. Hamlin, the boys and
men all know that l don't allow smoking
in my store, and to be consistent l must
ask you to either throw away your cigar
or step out on the platform" All present,
Mr.. Hamlin included, respected him the
more for his manly courage. Lewiston

The Jews believe that Palestine will
again come into their hands. They thus
read the promises of the Bible, and there
are thousands of these Jews of Jerusa-
lem who have come here to wait the day
when the Lord will descend to earth and
take his chosen people out of the hands
of the Turks and again build up their
city. Upon the ruins of Solomon's tenn
pie now stands the great mosque Of
Omar, which is to tie Mohammedans
the hottest place outside of Mecca.
A great wall of stone surrounds this
temple plateau, and this wall is believed
by ~antiquarians to have been a part of
the old temple wall. Inside of this wall
a jew can never come, and though it be
the hottest Of holy places to MIN he can
never look upon it. Turks in uniform
guard the gates, and l only secured adj
mission through a letter to the sultan's
governor Of Jerusalem. who sent me
with a guard of Turkish soldiers to go
through.
1t is the custom of the Jews, however,
to go on certain days of every week to
a place outside this wall, and there, lean
ing with their heads against tho stone,
they wall over the loss of Jerusalem,
and pray God to give back the land to
his chosen people. This is known as the
Jews wailing place, and wien | visited
it | found about fifty men in long gowns,
and a like number Of Jewish women
with shawls over their hesds, weeping
and praying. Many of tie men had
white boards, and the curly locks in
front of their ears were of apun silver.
Others had boys with them. Some
were in their prime, and the tears-gen-
uine tears-ran down the faces Of all,
and some of them were convulsed with
sobbing as they leaned there and prayed.
The wailing of one old Jewish woman
rings in my ears to this day, and the
whole cut an impression into my MEM

for his summary and h~umiliating dis
missal by this country. 1t is not 1t all
improbable that his lordship, regarding
Mr.. Childs as a representative American,
makes his claim for rent for the site of
the memorial fountain to the end that
he may thereby express his lack of re-

ATcHIsoN, Kan, Oct. IAN extraOr-
binary exodus of people from western
Kansas is taking place on account of the
crop failure. The rush is so great that
the railroads have sent agents into the
country to work for business. All who
can buy an outfit travel overland, while
others take passage on the railroads.
Farmers who have spent from five to
twenty years trying TO make a success are
selling out, and Others are abandoning
their claims to the mortgages. A rail
road official OF this city, who was in Smith
and other counties last week looking for
business, was told by a farmer who had
lived twenty years on one farm near Su-
perior, that he is offering everything he
owns at a sacrifice and will head large
force for Louisiana, where the most of
the emigrants are going. He Is satisfied
that western Kansas will produce no sure
crops 10 his lifetime. Hotel men are also
selling out and getting away. Jobbing
houses have ceased sending their travelling
men into the country, and in consequence
the hotel business has fallen off to practi-
cally nothing. Many euIgrants are going
to Oregon.

benjamin FrankIIn,s Gr.edy heirs.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. LIN the
Orphans court today a petition was flee
by the heirs of BENJAMIN Franklin pray
ing that the sun of 800, 900 now held by
the board of city trusts aud known as the
Franklin Fund be turned over to them.
Under his will. probated in 100, Ben
jamin Franklin bequeathed in trust to the
cities OF Philadelphia and Boston each the
sum of 81 900 to be invested In the form
OF loans at 8 per cent interest to married
young artificers" not over the age of 25,
to assist them in establishing themselves
in business. Franklin had in view the
accumulation of a large fund for the
purposes specified In his will at the ex-
piration of the period of 100 years, the
remainder TO be invested for another 100
years.. The first period OF 100 years
having elapsed the city of Boston finds
the nucleus of her bequest swollen to
about S400 900, but the Philadelphia fund
has only reached about 500, 0O0. 1t Is
estimated that over fifty heirs live in this
city and vicinity. The contest is based
on several grounds, among them what is
known as the rule of perpetuities in com-
mon law. The law does not provide Tor
the vesting OF a legacy beyond the period
OF twenty-one years after the lifetime OF
the legatee, except funds devoted to
charity. 1t is distinctly claimed that
Franklin's plan did not intend charity,
from the fact that interest was charged
on the loans. The suit is to be decided
10 this city, before steps are taken to
secure the fund held in Boston, but
notice has been seavcd upon the trustees
Of the Boston fund to prevent any dis
hursement OF il pending Iiugation.

WASHINGTON, Oct THE president
today transmitted to the house an answer
to the resolution concerning enforcement

of state upon the subject. In his letter
Secretary Blaine refers to the correspond
ence on the same subject sent to the house
in 50, and says that since that date cor
respondence has been had with
the government of Russia in several
cases of alleged interference by
Russian authorities with the rights
of citizens of the United States protesting
he says the correspondence shows the
United States government has omitted no
proper occasion OF remonstrance against
the application of religious test to our
citizens in Russia. or having interests in
Russia, and against the enforcement OF
disqualification founded on such test,
which proceeding is without warrant OF
recognition IN the treaty stipulations be-
tween the United States and Russia, and
moreover is repugnant to the
fundamental doctrine of conscience and
equality of religious belief on which or
ganized society almost universally res.s.
The secretary further SAYS that when 1t
was irst reported that the Russian gov
ernment was about to take measures re-
snlting in the expulsion of vast numbers
of Its subjects because of their religion,
our charge de affairs at st. Petersburg
advised the department that he had the

plate any change from the present ~lenient
