Street Bills.
Attorneys Rodgers, Watson, McCleave,
Carnahan and Moreland, with Controller
Morrow aud several other city officials
held conference in the office of
the first named gentleman yesterday
afternoon to make some further amend
ments to the new street bills They declined
to say anything after the conference, except
that one or two changes had been made in
the wording of the bills, which did
not materially change their meaning or
effect. These changes had been sug-
gested in order to still further insure the
bills against veto from the Governor on
the ground of funconstitutionality.
Councils are called to meet tomorrow
afternoon, but unless the street bills are
finally passed and signed before that time
the chances are that there will be no meet

A Pittsburg Hebrew Receiyesa Letter From
His Sister Telling of the Eviction of
Their Race From Moscow-An Are Poor
and Distressed.
Aaron Sinkofsky, Pittsburg Hebrew,
has received a letter from his sister in Mos
cow telling of the methods used by the Rus
sian Government in evicting the Hebrews
from the country. The letter is confrma-
tory of all the reports that have so far
reached this and is as follows:
Moscow, February %, 1891.
Dear s Sister Lembersky and Dear Brother Aaron
Your letter and photographs received. Ac-
cept my thanks. And now l am going to let
you know about my situation. As you know,
the Hebrews that were allowed to live in
MOSCOW until now were only artisans. An
ukase was given thatall Hebrews must leave
MOSCOW. Now, you can imagine how am
situated in Moscow. There are about 1900
Hebrews here. Seven thousand of these,
many of whom served under Nicholas in the
Crimean War, the rest being merchants of
the first geeloy Tor CLASSY, are allowed to re,
main The 10000 must go, and are banished
by the local government. The most of them
are poor.
Those that have anything have it invested
in fabrics and various trades. The Chris
tians VIII not buy anything, for they say
the Hebrews will leave everything for them
anyhow. There is such lamentation and
mourning in the streets of Moscow that it is
heart-rending. 1t is worse here than it was
in Spain, for then the Hebrews were rich
and now we are poor. Some of our rich men
have organized committee to help to i'm
migrate to other countries >or to go to the
few Russian Polish States where Hebrews
are allowed to settle.
am already packed up to move, but where
do not know. As soon as 1 get money
will go. The ukase is not to drive us all out
at once, but street after street, so my time
has not come yet. But no one knows who
will be the next.
My Christian friend came to buy my house
hold goods and has offered for big bed
steads, childrens bedsteads, and mat
tresses, 3 roubles, or about 81 75; and for my
cushion chairs, for which paid roubles, or
about 81 80, she offered 2 kOpeks or little
over cent. My heart breaks when think
of it, You can consider yourself happy
that you are not in Moscow now, but among
civilized people.
What will become of me? Butt hope for
the best. My regards to your husband and
child. My husband and children send their
best regards to you all. Adieu, my beloved
sister and brother. Excuse me for not writ
ing any more, for indeed my pen is now too
weak to picture to you all my trouble and
the grief of our unfortunate people.

CHAPTER /.

HHulloa-you thar-ain't there no one
around the darned ranch? iHillo-a-boys!"
Up to the veranda of the wild Califor-
nian rancho rode man in hot haste, his
horse reeking, his own rough, brown face
wet, his right hand on the butt of his der
ringer, as he pulled up with that call, in
answer to which someone did come out of

BLAINE Is ALL RIGHT,
But He Has Too Many Friends to Be Elected
President.

President,
'EBlaine's weakness" remarked Colonel
W. II. Reed yesterday, 'tis that he has,
suppose, personal friend in every polling
district in the country, and there are 17S,-
600 such places in the United States. You
ask how friends can injure man? Well, it
is easily explained. The majority of the
people admit that Blaine is the most cap
able and best fitted man to be President. If
it were left to popular choice he would be
elected, but at this point Blaine's friends
assert themselves.
"To begin with, human nature is selfish,
and it is a sad fact that the 120, 600 Offices at
the disposal of President dazzle many of
the voters. The friends in the districts
howl for Blaine, and assert if he is elected
they will control the patronage for that sec
tion. The voter in bed at night before the
election day reasons in this way: Blaine
personally is all right He is great man,
and would like to see him President, but
I'll be hanged if my vote will boost Bill
Smith into office in this district. We don't
want him. The result is that Mr.. Blaine is
showed under, and it is the Bill Smiths, his
personal friends in the voting districts, who.
are responsible"

scores of tiny hummingbirds busy among
the masses of honeysuckle bushes flew quite
close to her dark, curly head.

grim desperation rather than fear, cleft

She went back to the big keeping room,
and presently began setting the table for
supper for three.
The boys may just possibly be back by
Z, thought the Spanish Californian.
The next moment she sprang to her feet,
white to the lips. She had knocked about
enough; she was brave to recklessness. but
she was still woman, and wild thrill of
the terror that only woman can know
shook her at that sound at the veranda
door, of its swinging open. With her hand
on the butt of her hidden derringer, Juanita
boldly stepped into the entry-and topped,
startled.
Leaning heavily against the Intel, as if
wounded, or in the last extremity of ex-
haustion, was slight-built man of perhaps
35, with revolver and bowie in belt;
a tall, handsome fellow, despite the deathly
pallor of the fine-featured face, wildly hag-
gard, with desperate, hunted look in it,
and in the large dark eyes that met the
girls.
"For Gods sake give me food-shelter-
hiding for to-night!' the man gasped. 'I'm
hunted to death, and wounded! I'm
euchered at lastr'
If there is one thing above all that goes
straight to true woman's heart with resist
less force, lulling all fear, it is to see
strong man stricken down in his proud
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., appealing to
hers - the woman strength and pity

or not he was a-desperate, dangerous muir
