LOVE SUPERIOR TO CREED.
\ Gentiis's Girl Adopts the Jewish Faith
~ w ed . Rabbi.


NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. Oct. 1.--Jewish
circles are much exercised over the fact
that Miss Lizzie Kub.er, daughter of
Christopher kubler, . wealthy manu-
facturer of Baltimore, has renounced
the Lutheran faith and become Jew
ess. She joined the William-st. Syna-
gogue ON Saturday, the ceremonies be-
ing conducted 10y Rabbi Wilmer and
Rev. Charles Bailey, in the presence of
a large congregation. The young lady
IS nineteen years OF age and takes this
step in order to marry Emanuel Jacobs,
a young Jew of this city, who resided
for time IN Baltimore. Miss Kubler's
determination was received with ex-
treme pleasure by Mr.. Jacobs parents.
Her own parents, however, questioned
whether It was due entirely to her love
Tor Jacobs, or was the result
OF honest convictions. Her father
told her that if it was really
for the sake of marrying Jacobs she
had better reflect. II, on the other
hand, her convictions were such that
change of faith was absolutely essen
tIal TO her happiness, aside from what
this marriage with Jacobs promised, he
had no objections to offer, and would
put no obstacle in her way. Upon Miss
kubler's assertion that she was acting
conscientiously, and, as she believed,
upon the honest convictions of her
heart, no further objection was made
10y her parents. 1t WAS her intention
to join Hebrew church in Baltimore,
but circumstances changed her pur-
pose IN that respect, and she came to
this city. secured teachers and became
versed IN the Jewish religion and faith.
Most of the instruction was given by
her intended husband, who is a rabbi.
Miss Kubler will return to Baltimore
and transfer her membership from the
synagogue here to one in that city.
There will be wedding at the Balti-
more mansion soon.

Although Absent In Maine.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The political
gosslps in Washington point to- the cir
cumstances surrounding White House
conferences of Chillan affairs as an in
dIcatlon that Secretary Blaine has re-
linquished all control of State Depart
ment matters, and that President
Harrison is personally in charge of
foreign affairs. Indeed. since the
day that Secretary Tracy was at
Cape May and conveyed thence TO
Washington the message from the pres
ident to the State department, ordering
Minister Egan TO recognize the congress
sional junts, 1t has been repeatedly
stated that Blame has disassociated
himself entirely from the affairs of his
department. The fact is, however. that
Mr.. Blame is in daily and hourly COM
munication with Assistant Secretary
Wharton, and that at the conference
the secretary opinion as to what action
should be taken to protect American
interests in Chill was communicated by
Mr.. Wharton and accepted by the con-
fefence.l.
A few days ago the Blaines relin-
quished their pew in the Church Of the
Covenant, the presbyterian house Of
worship on Connecticut-ave., that has
come to be known as the Administra-
ton Church, because the President and
large number of government officials
have pews there and attend services
with more or less regularity. The
Blaines haveing declined to rent their
pew for another year leads to the be-
lief that they will remain IN Australia.
They will not miss their pew much,
however, because they are not regular
church-goers, and their sittings were
more often vacant than occupied dur
ing the winter season.

died on April 81, and by her will, which
has been offered for probate in Brook

Thomas Griffiths, and her three sons
Richard A., Thomas w. and Frederick
and left all her estate, consisting
mainly of fine stock farm of 300 acres
at Bowesville, in Virginia, and hand
some brown stone house in Sixth-ave.,
to her daughters, Mary Jane and Mar
garet. The second son, Thomas W.. is
named as executor. Unsuccessful ef-

differences between the family, the
daughters, as understood, being willing
that their father and brother Frederick
should have charge of the Virginia
farm during their lifetime. This pro-
posed settlement did not prove satisfac-
tory To Mr.. Griffiths and his son Fred
erick and they have contested the will.
Mr.. Grifiith's is engaged ID numerous

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The next Euro
pean nation 20 raise the embargo on
American meat products will in all
probability be Austria. The Secretary
Of Agriculture SO stated TO correspond
ent this morning, and added that he
was daily expecting the information
that Emperor Francis Joseph had Is
sued his decree. Ii will not be neces-
sary, as in France, to await the action
of the parliament, the emperor having
but to afiix bis royal signature TO do
away with the obnoxious measure. The
Austrian embargo is considered more
severe than either of the others, even
that of Germany, the secretary saws,
being light in comparison. The princi-
pal scr,ctures have been against the
canned goods trade, which is larger
than the dressed beef and pork trade in
that country. The loss to the Gamers
was great when the embargo was placed
upon their goods. The time is now at
hand when their gains must be cores
pondingly large.
