LINCOLN, Neb, April TO-. Special 10 TUE
BEE, E,l-YCsterday morning pretty little
woman dressed in becoming suit of gray
stepped into the Office Of the Depot hotel and
wrote in plain hand on the register the
name, "Mary Jacoby, Cortland" She was
apparently not over twenty three years of
age, but had brisk, busiuess-like air about
her She was bright, talkative little woman,
and to some sympathizing friends she told
what had brought her to Lincoln, Her story
is rathera strange one.
She said that three years ago she was mar
red to Jacoby. who is now about thirty.hve
years of age. They lived for time in the
eastern part of the state, but later moved to
the small town of Arcadia, some seventy.hve
miles west of Grand Island Here a child
was born to them, but year or so after that
interesting event her hus band 5 love seemed
to cool, and one day not long ago he told her
that he guessed he would leave her and re-
turn to his other wife, which was the first in
tmation that she had that he was already
married when she met him. ~ few days be-
fore this, however, she had left the house to
visit a neighbor living about half mile
away, leaving her eighteen month old boy
asleep in his cradle. When she returned the
child was gone and her hus band did
not seem to be very an xious to find it. She
was almost Wild for time, but the GROWING
blow came when her husband cody informed
her that he intended to desert her She then
realized that the abduction of her child was
sim ply part of the plot by which he sought
to get the little one without the aid of the
! law. He finally deserted her. Her means
were limited, and she was not able TO follow
him. She returned to Cortland, near which

Bishop vladimir expressed surprise when
asked about the persecution of the Jews.
'"rhe Jews of Russia are not prosecuted, -
said he "that is, not by the government I.
The government and the church dwell in
harmonious sympathy. The Jews recog-
nize aud in past times, like the
present, they have publicly proclaim ed
that to the church they are indebted for
assistance in repelling the persecution OF
Jews by the peasants. We're the govern
ment desrous Of prosecuting the Jews the
church would be called TO assist
wv nat persecu tion there is of the Jews, "
he went on, sis by the peasants. II is not q
racical, neither Is it religious one. 1t is an
econ omlcal persecution. The Jews are not
producers. They do not till the soil. They
do no manual labor. They are usurers,
brokers or saloonkeepers. They charge 400
por cent in terest, and the peasants having
no money to pay are compelled to work for
them all the time. II they don't work they
go to Jail. At the beginning of the eighteenth
century q persecution ended by the peas
ants rising and exterminatng million Jews.
May be an other uprising will occur There
are too many Jews to emigrate. II they
would leave the north and eastern Russia
thou gh, for the southern and western parts,
all would be well. But the gov ernment
won't force them. And no Jew is able tc
prove that any of his race has been wrong
fully imprisoned or sent to Siberia''
The bishop thinks the nihilist influence in
Russia is declining aud declares that the
comm mon people hate the nihilists.

WASHINGTON, April l0.-It is known hero
that Secretary Blaine has prepared an ANS
swert TO the message of Premier Rudini. The
fact of the preparation Of Secretary Blnne's
reply is not only we'll understood, but it ID
stated, moreover that the sccretary's lettey
was admitted to the president and cabinet
and found to be satisfactory. In view Of
circumstances it is asserted with consider.
able confidence that the letter OF Secretary
Blaine already has been sent to the Marquis
Rudini, though whether 1t was communicated
by mail or telegraph is not known II tho
former method were adopted the Italian
premier is is believed, was apprised
OF the fact. 1t is suggested also
as very probable that intimatons
have been conveyed of the advisability Of
conducting the diplomatic negotiations be-
tween tho two countries with less publicity.
For these reasons il is thought to be almost
impossible that today's rumors in Rome can
be correct No Information could be secured
In Official circles here tonight relative to tho
report from Rome that Italy would close all
direct diplomatic intercourse with the United
states unless a reply was received to the last
message of Premier Rudini on the New Or
