How They Put the Horse to Bed.

One OF the best known society women of
Philadelphia spends the spring months in her
country place, few miles out of the city This
lady, who may be called Mrs. Secart, saws
the Philadelphia Press, although that is not her
name, went out there with her family few
weeks ago. Soon after opening the country
house her husband arrived from the west where
ne had been on business, bringing with him
magnificent Kentucky saddle horse which he
gave to his daughter Eleanor for a birthday
present. Not long afrerward the gentleman
was again called away from this part of the
country and that same afternoon his wife dis
charged the coachman for being impudent
When evening came on Mrs. Stellcart was in a
Quandary. She knew that horse had to he taken
care OF, and sire didn't know exactly how to do
it, so she said to her daughter:
Eleanor, we've got to put Toag to bed l
recoliect hearing your father tell John to be
very careful to bed him down nicely, SO we must
90 as well as we can
They went to the stable and took from the
carriage house the cushion of a wagon seat, and
couple OF horse blankets. Then they repaired
10 the stall in which the Kentucky saddle horse
was rapidly growing hungry, likewise weary
Mrs Stellcart and Eleanor placed the cushion
where they supposed the horse would use il for
pillow, and managed to arrange one of the
blankets to serve in lieu of a mattress Then
they tried to coax Toag to lie down in order
that they might throw the other blanket over
MIN and took it in nicely about his heels But
Tor some unaccountable reason, Toag wouldn't
ne down. They tried to coax him and to throw
him off his feet, but the greatly astonished
horse at last protested SO strongly that the
ladies' gave up their work Thar
house is situated half mile from any
other. and they didn't know what to do. But at
last bright idea struck Eleanor and she with
her mother hurried to the front gate and STAYED
there until two men passed by. These were
called; the situation was explained to them
They didn't understand 1t at first, but Mrs
Stellcart finally burst into tears and begged
them TO como in and put the horse to bed The

| at the stall for moment. Then they leaned
against the wall and laughed until they were
nearly exhausted. Tosg went to bed as usual
that night. but he didnt sleep on the cushion of
wagonseat and covered with blankets
Every day since this occurrence these two
men have made it a point to walk past Mrs
StellcartS residence, stopping at the front gate
long enough to roar with laughter so she could
hear them

Where Are the jews Going7

There are at least 5, 900, 900 Jews in Russia,
and the government Of that country is de-
termined to get rid OF them. They are not
wanted in any part of the vast region ruled
by the car, and the hardships to which
they are subjected are being made greater
than they can endure. They are, therefore,
emigratiDg as fast as they can set
tie their business affairs Many who have
large interests, fearing that they will lose
all they have if they remain in the country
much longer, are placing their affairs in the
hands Of Russian agents with the hope of
saving something of their fortunes.
The man who is doing more for them than
any other is Baron Hirsch of Paris, a man
of almost fabulous wealth. He has already
invested g., 500, 900 for the benefit of those
Of them who come to this country, and in
an interview the other day he intimated
that be might spend his whole fortune il
their behalf He said, what is the use of
money unless you can do some good with
itw If more rich men thought as he does
with respect TO money there would be much
less misery in the world.
But not all the Jews who arc leaving Rus
posed to send large number of them to
South American countries. Immense
tracts of land have been purchased in the
Argentine Republic for them, and already
many hundre Is of families have been es-
tabhshed there. Later on there will be
large emigretion to Brazil, where well
como awaits them, and where, it is believed,
they can quickly become self-sustaining and
even prosperous.
They are not beggars and paupers. 1t is
seldom that one of them is found among the
criminal or pauper classes. 1t is estimated
that nearly 900 have come to this coun-
try since the beginning of last year. And
nearly all of them are getting along fully
as well as could be expected. They are not

they save money. They make it a rule to
spend less than they make, however little
they make Guided by such rule. they
cannot help getting ahead in the world
They make better citizens than either
Italians or Hungarians, because those who
come here expect to remain, and they obey
the laws and adapt themselves to their sur

identity in the course of time, as the Germans
and Irish do, because they do not intermarry

uphold its institutions. As yet no obiec-
ton to them as immigrants has been raised,
and as long as they are in harmony with
the spirit of our institutions no objection to
them will be raised

Merchants weex Visitors.

Six days of uninterrupted hilarity have
passed. Merchants week is relegated to
the past Nearly all of our country cousins
have gone home. 1t is to be hoped that
they are all in a happy frame of mind. 1t
would certainly be the hight of bad treat
ment to bring them here upon the faith of
the united invitation of the reputable mer-
chants of Savannah and then allow even
so many as an unconspicuous one so back
with anything to regret Since our old
established business houses assumed re-
sponsibiity for their enjoyment and enter
tainment it is only fair to assume that they
satisfied all reasonable expectations, and
properly looked after the welfare of the
guests upon whose custom they directly
and indirectly rely for business. Bringing
in people from the country in
that way is great advantage
to the business of the city, and
the more they are pleased the more likely
they are TO return. During the past week
visitors have Lad before them quite a
var ETY. of entertainments, all of which they
appeared to thoroughly enjoy. After five
days of constantly changing spectacle and
parade and music they were given a quiet
day Saturday in which to spend whatever
money they had left from paying hotel bills
and experimenting with street fakirs.
Merchants week is an established institu-
ton in Savannah, that will hereafter be
looked forward to a whole year by the
rural population with happy anticipations
of merry holiday.

Prof. John LeCoute.

The eminent scientist, Prof. John Le-
Conte, who died at Berkeley, CAL, on
Wednesday, was native of this state. He
was born in Liberty county-a county in
which many men who have attained dis
tinction were born-and at the time of his
death he was a little more than y years of
age. His father was the naturalist Lewis
LeConte, and one OF his brothers is Prof.
Joseph LeConte of the University of Cali
fornia, the institution with which Prof.
John L Conte was connected at the time of
his death. He was appointed professor of
physics and industrial mechanics in the
university in 1869. For five years, from
1876 to 1881, he held the office of president
of the university in connection with his
professorshp.
Prof. LeConte's life was very useful one
For haf a century it was devoted to scieu-
tific pursuits, first in medicine and after
ward in physical studies. And his fame
spread beyond the limits of his own coun-
try. He was a valuable contributor to the
scientific journals Of Europe as well as of
this country. AS long ago as 1857 he de-
iivered lectures in the Smithsonian Institu-
tion in Washington on the "Physics of Me-
teorology."
Prof. LsConte graduated from the uni
versity of this state when he was twenty
years of age, and from the College Of
Physicians and Surgeons in New York
three years later. In 1S42 he became a
resident of this city, and began the practice
of the profession of medicine, and in 1916
he accepted the professorship of Natural
Philosophy in the State University, which
position he retained until 1855. After
leaving the State University he went to
New York and lectured year before the
College of Physicians and Surgeons of that
city, and then accepted the chair of Natural
and Mechanical Philosophy in the South
Carolina College. There he remained
thirteen years, aud very studious and busy
years they were. He had about completed
treaiese on General Physics which
was destroyed when Columbia was burned
in 1865.
Prof. LeConte made an impression upon
his day and generation. The work he did
has borne much fruit and will hear
much more. He helped to make the world
better and wiser, and while his death causes
profound regret in this country and Europe,
in three states, Georgia, South Carolina and
California, his memory will always have a
place Of honor among those of their most
distinguished men.

Massachusetts, New Bishon.

The election of DR.. Phillips Brooks, Of the
Episcopal church, to the position of bishop
of the diocese of Massachusetts does not
give general satisfaction to the Episcopa-
lians Of Massachusetts. There is no doubt
that be is very popular and a greatly be-
loved man. No other Episc opal clergyman
has wider fame or more admirers. There
is not a word to be said against him as a
man, and few find fault with him as
clergyman. But there are many who think
he will be failure as bishop. 1t is adj
mitted that he is an eloquent preacher. 1t
is doubtful if there is a more eloquent one
in his own or any other denomination, but
has he the executive CAPABILITIES necessary to
administer the Office of bishop successfully?
That is the question that is being asked
Many Episcopalians find fault with his
liberality. He is not only 4 Broad Church
man, but also what is called Low Church
man. 1t is said that he has gone even bs-
You'd DR.. Hsber Newton and DR.. Rainsford
of New York in fraternizing with the
ministers Of other denominat ions 1t was
stated openly in the Episcopal convention
which chose him bishop that he would in
oil probability. be more conservative as a
bishop than he had been as rector of Trinity
church in Boston, the church which as
built for him at a cost of 81 200, 900.
There is not much doubt that to personal
admiration rather than belief in his fit-
ness for the office he owes his election as
bishop. But he may give as much satls-
faction in his new position as he has in that
of rector of Trinity. II he does many
Episcopalians who wish him well, but who
question the wisdom of making him a
bishop, will be glad to admit that they were
mist ken.
That no is an earnest Christian there is no
doubt 1t is his broad sympathy with every
kind of Christian effort that makes him so
popular outside of his own deuomin alton.

There is something very remarkable about
the recent deliberate suicide OF Mrs. Flor
ence Biedler in Baltimore. After several
seasons as a reigning belle she suddenly
drove an admirer nearly wild by aunounc-
ing that she had been married for nearly a
year. As her father is a wealthy merchant
and her husband is prosperous travelling
salesman there is no apparent reason for
her rash act other than mental disorder.
Insanity is said TO be hereditary in the
family.
