The FOLLOWING DISPATCH from Kansas City
Mo. would form the ground work for quite
hrhng story of the Gaboriau or Boisgobey
brand: "A letter was received at the city
clerks office this morning from Kokomo. Ind,
stating that black dog wearing Kansas City
dog tag had been killed in fight with farm
er's dog near there. The letter stated that
thieves had broken into the formers ward and
the farmers dog forthwith drove them away
and killed their dog, the carcass being left be
hlnd. An investigation was made at the clerks
office and it was found that the tag had been
issued Il 1889 TO a man living East Seven

into use, and after the name of the man who
had procured the tag originally was the note

THE careiessness of the mail service in the
continental countries is strikingly illustrated by
a letter received by Postmaster Riley of Cincin-
natl THURSDAY R. Schlock of No. 227 Main
street received a paper from Zurich. Switzer-
land, and snugly hidden away in its folds was a
letter addressed in French handwriting to
Messieur August Crebause, Hotel Central.
Switzerland. Mr.. Schlock mailed the letter to
the postmaster, stating the circumstances of its
receipt. How traught with possible romance,
says the Commercial Gazette. such an event
may be. Perhaps some anxious lover is still
awaiting the long expected letter, and its non
receipt may cause world of sorrow and suffer
ing. Perhaps some poverty stricken person ap-
as lad for a hat huop 4 / o.
such slight mischances often hang the most i'm

never be too great.
LAST APRIL the customs authorities of New
York were startled to find in barrel of chemi-
Gals stored in the appraisers warehouse.
awaiting payment of duty the body of q
murdered man. The body proved to be that of
Dane named Meyer, who was murdered in
Copenhagen by Alexander Phlipsen who
placed his victim in barrel and shipped him
TO this country. Philipsen was arrest ed and is
said to have been put in an insane ASYLUM. from
which, 1t seems, he escaped. There arrived in
New Y ork on the steamer Normannia last week
Dane named Phiihpsen, who has been detained
by the authorities on suspicion of being the
murderer of Meyer. +. c. jacobsen who for

Copenhagen, and who lived in the formers
mousse recognized PhIlipsen on his arrival. and

THE majority of people use the words Israel
lite, Hebrew and Jew indifferently, as though
they had the same meaning. As matter of
fact they have wholly distinct meanings. espe.
cIaily to those to whom they apply The word
Hebrew refers to the race, Israelite to the ma
ton, which no longer exists and Jew To the
religion. Men of the Hebrew race. Israelites
by nationality, ceased to be Jews when thew
embraced christianity, but they did not cease
TO be either Hebrews or Israelites In the ssrna
way an American might, by conversion become
Jew, out that would not make him Hebrev
any more than embracing Catholicism would
make him Celt. Shakespeare speaks OF ''an
Ebrew jew" showing that there were Jews
that were not of Hebrew blood Before our
ancestors were. in a national sense, IsrseIitss
says the HebfeU Journal, they were Hebrew,
a name which was and Is to-day a rare distinc
ton. The word Jew is a narrow name for ona
separate religious distinction"
