"Genesis Fifty-one~ n Forgery That Has
Puzzled Scholars for Centuries.
St. Louis Republican.
For the past 500 or 600 years the fol-
lowing so-called "Genesis Fifty-one"
has been puzzle TO Biblical scholars,
and to-day were it read aloud in any
mixed company, it is questionable if its
fraudulent nature would be discovered,
SO beautiful is the spirit and language
OF the Old Testament initiated Below
we give this unique fraud in full:
]. And 1t came to pass after these
things that Abraham sat in the door of
his tent at about the going down of the
sun.
2. And behold man, bowed with
age, came from the way of the wilder
ness, leaning on staff.
3. And Abraham arose and met him
and said unto him, Turn in, pray thee,
and wash thy feet, and larry all night,
and thou shalt arise early on the NOR
row and 60 thy way.
4, But the man said, Nay, for l will
abide under this tree.
B. And Abraham pressed him greatly,
so he turned and they went into the tent;
and Abraham broke unlcavened bread
and they did eat
9. And when Abraham saw that the
man blessed not God, he said unto him,
wherefore dost thou not worship the
Most High God, creator of heaven and
earth?
z. And the man answered and said,
do not worship the God thou speakest
OF, neither do l call upon his name, for
have made unto myself God which
abideth Away in my house and pro-
videth me with all things.
8. And Abraham's anger was kindled
against that man for what he had said,
and he arose and drove him forth with
blows into the wilderness.
o. And at midnight God called upon
Abraham, saying, Abraham, where is
the stranger that came by the way of
thy tent at the going down Of the sun.
10. And Abraham answered and said,
Lord, he would not worship Thee,
neither would he call upon Thy name,
therefore | have driven him out from
before my face into the wilderness.
II. And God said, have | not borne
with him these hundred and ninety and
eight years, and nourished him, and
clothed him, Notwithstanding he has
rebelled against Me? Couldst thou not.
thee myself being a sinner, bear with
him one night?
l2. And Abraham said: Let not the
anger Of my Lord wax against his ser
want; lol ! have sinned, forgive me |
pray of Thee.
13. And Abraham arose and went
forth into the wilderness, and sought
diligently for the man until he had
found him, and returned with him to
the tent, and when he had entertained
him kindly he sent him away on the
morrow with many gifts.
IA. And God spake again unto Abra-
ham, saying, for this thy sin against the
stranger, thy seed shall be afflicted 400
years in strange land
10. But, for thy repentance will de-
liver them, and they shall come forth
with power and with gladness of heart

UNDER THE ROSE.
Behind house on nearby street
A rose bush hangs DER broken WALL
Beneath that bush is a rustic seat
Where the soft rose petals float and fall
And here, when the moon climbs down
the west,
A lover comes and lover goes:
And n maiden thinks stolen bliss the best
Under the rose.
And by and by. when the leaves are sers,
And the snow has covered that rustic
seat,
Another tale will be told hear:
A tale that young lovers will ever repeat.
For some night, between two peeps of the
sun.
The maid will follow wherever he goes.
And Loves mathematics will make two of

Under the rose.

ST. LOUIS TRAGEDIES.
Three Women Are Badly Wounded, All
Will Probably Die, and One
Man is Killed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. ia series of
startling tragedies occurred here to-day, in
which three women were badly wounded
and one man was killed.
Ernest Hickman, living at 70S Ohio ave-
nue. in East St Louis, shot his wife in the
head, the ball entering below the right eye
at the inner corner, and lodged at the base
of the brain. He then calmly reloaded the
pistol, and putting the muzzle to his
head fired three or four shots, literally
perforating his head. He died instantly. 4
physician probed for the ball in Mrs Hick-
mans head, but could not find it. She will
die. Owing to her condition no ac-
count of the trouble which led
to the shooting could be obtained from
her. It is believed Hickman was laboring
under fit Of temporary insanity, superin-
duced by protracted spree.

NEW YORK Nov. 19-CongressmanCr Crisp,
who has been in this city working in be-
half of his candidacy for Speaker of the
house of representatives, mas been in hope
that Tammany would declare for him and
instruct its congressman TO east their votes
for him. Congressman Amos J. Cummings
has been making 4 vigorous campaign in
his behalf and has been doing his utmost to
get other Tammany men IN line. but 1t is
understood w Bourke Cochran and other
memb ers of the delegation are not entirely
willing to accept Cummings leadership in
the matter. There was runor atioat yes
terday to the effect that meeting was to
be held to indorSe Crisp but no trace Of
such a meeting could be found.
Crisp SAID yesterday that ne did not know
whether Tammany congressman would sup
a solid front for him it would be an element
of strength. He was not prepared TO say
that the vote of the New York state cou-
gressmen. even if they went as a unit,
would determine the question OF the speak
ership. Further than that, he conceded
some of the New York men to Mills He
said be had no poll of the delegation which
ne cared to make public. aud he thought to
make wholesale claims either for himself or
Mills or any other candidate would be de-
cidedly premature. With reference TO his
strength outside of New York. Crisp said
he did not care 20 go into details. He ex-
pected some votes from New England: he
contended that he was pretty sure of more
than three in Ohio. In the Western and
Northwestern states he was not willing 20
concede his opponents more than their fair
proportion.
