Power OF the Jewish Rabbi.

There are l50Jewish synagogueS in Jeru-
salem, and if the Russian Jews go to the
Holy Land. IS they intend. sypaGogues will
spring up all over the country. The jew
fish synagogue Of the Holy City is different
from that of America The service is
longer and the people, | think, are more
devout. The rabbits are gorgeously clad,
and the Jerusalem rabbi has more power
than any American preacher. He is the
governor of his congregation and he does
their business for them. The Turks allow
him TO settle most Of the suits which arise
between the people Of bis congregation,
and he is lawyer, judge and governor

Of Ute. Sam was, unlike most In

could speak English very well
He was ambitious TO perfect himself

TILE FAIL CURED HIM.

The horse was instantly killed and the
Frenchman had both Of his legs broken.
Being far from camp, with the Indians in
close proximity, he did not dare to fire of
his rifle or make any noise, so he was COM
PEELED TO lie there AID suffer, hoping <hat
his comrades, missing him, would start out
20 hunt him. They did so, but more than
a day had elapsed before they found him,
and his pain was intense. OF course doc
tors in the region were as impossible as
angels, so his companions set the broken
bones as well as they could, and fixing a
litter on some pack animals they carried
him around with them from camp to camp
until he recovered, a period extending over
three months.
The affair cured him of his sentimen-
tally for the Indian. Many years after
ward, when New Mexico had become part
of the United States and courts were regu-
larly constituted, this Frenchman was
drawn as a juryman on a case where an
Indian was TO be tried for the murder of a
white man. The trial as the courts were
constituted in those days was not a very
prolonged one. But il was observed that
from the very beginning of the proceedings
the Frenohmau had dropped into a deep
sleep; so profound was 1t that when they
wanted him TO decide as 10 the guilt or in
nocence of the prisoner they had to shake
him violently TO rouse him. lie had not
heard word of the trial, but when he was
asked what his opinion was he replied:

he don't happen to be guilty now he soon
will be."-Henry lnman in Kansas City

Taking in Silver.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-The trea.-
ury department has practically completed
its arrangements for the execution OF the
new silver iaw which goes into effect to,
morrow. The bureau Of engraving and
printing has been employed night and day
with an extra force making the new treas.
ury notes required by the bill, but SO far
the printing has been confined to notes of
the denomination of 81 900 and 500. Nine
teen million dollars in these notes were
turned over to the treasury custodian to-
day TO receive the impression of the treas
ury seal, without which they are of no
value. About s5,ooo.0oo We're completed
to-day and were Mt once shipped to the
sub-treasury of New York for use in the
payment for silver to be purchased to-
morrow under the rules of the department,
circular of August last.
3 Purchases made elsewhere than at New
Nork will be paid for in drafts on the assis-
tant treasurer at that city until provision
can be made for supplying the other sub
treasures with the new notes. 1t is ex-
pected that the department will soon have
on hand supply Of the new notes of each

lndiana's Gas Explosion.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. IA Sentincl
special from Shclbyville says: Much cx
ci,emcnt still prevails over the recent
natural gas explosion. 1t is now discov-
cred that the whole neighborhood in the
vicinity of the Young volcano is saturated
with natural gas and the soil is full of it
One can run crowbar down in the ground
any place and light the gas which pro-
ceeds from the soil in various quantities.
This would indicate that the gas had
found its way below the lime stone and
in many places fractures in the stone per
nit it to escape into the sand and gravel
Immediately below the surface soil, which
partially prevents its escape into the air.
This bears out tho theory that gas has for
some time been escaping from the sides o (
the gas wells and difrusing itself in the
sand and gravel below the lime stone.
In Van Buren, township, twenty -four
miles north of the late eruption, tho water

thirty feet below tho supcrstructurc OF

A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
A Movement to Establish One in New
York City.

New YORK, Aug. 14.-The Tribune
tomorrow will say that there is move
ment on foot which, If carried out on the
plans and give to New York an institution
without rival in this country.
The establishment of national uniyers-
ity in this city with an endowment at the
outset Of $50, 100000 is proposed. John D.
Rockefeller, president of the Standard Oil
Trust Company, and the Rev. DIR. K. 5.
Macarthur, pastor of the Calvary Baptist
Church in this city. the two men most in
terested in the project, are both out of
town, but from friend of one of them il
was learned yesterday that DR.. Near
thurs dream of great Baptist university
in this city seems about TO be realized
The preacher holds and admits this.
Many institutions Of learning which are
remarkable only for their paucity OF
knowledge and poverty Of resources
bear the name of universities, and many
of them are nothing more than frst-ciass
academies.
The university which DR.. Macarthur
desires the Baptist denomination TO have
in this city is one into which no one shall
be matriculated who has not already been
granduated from some reputable college.
He considers it unfortunate religiously
and patriotically that SO many young
Americans have been obliged to go TO Ger
many, Austria, France and other foreign
countries. ....
Up TO this point the Baptists in all parts
of the country applaud DIR. Macarthur, but
his next point-that the national university
should be in New York-has not met with
the same hearty approval; Western men
want 1t in Chicago and a considerable
number favor Washington. The needs of
the West and the advantages Of the ma
tional capital are both admitted by the New
York pastor. but the needs OF the de
nomination, the welfare of the students
and the advantages of New York more
than outweigh in his mind all the argu-
ments that are presented in favor of
smaller cities.
MIR. Rockefeller. it is said, agrees with
DIR. Macarthur that New York is the prop
or place for a national university. While
the details are not perfected, it /. said
that the promoters have agreed that the
man who should be their president is
Professor Harper, Of Yale, who has nj
ready been selected TO guide the affairs OF
the Chicago University. 1t is proposed to
have the ablest professors in every de-
partment that can be obtained in this
country and in Europe. Tne ripest schol-
as in science and art, aLd the a0lcst pro
lessons in theology Will be secured IL pos
siblc. 1t is the purpose =. those interested
ia the undertaking 10 make the attractions
so numerous that college graduates from
New England, from the West from the
South and from Europe ana Asia will come
here to perfect themselves in the studies te
which they propose TO devote their lives.
