TIE WANDERING JEW.
a Rabbi Says That the Prophet Elijah
~ es the Original

" rs the Original.
From The Cleveland PLAIN Dealer.
DR.. Phillipson, rabbi Of the Mount Street
temple, Cincinnati, lectured on the WAN
deriny Jew in the Scovil Avenue temple
last night. In part the lecture was as fol-
lows:
"Au nations are 10th TO believe that their
good and great men, their heroes, are rot
alive. In former ages they have willingly
listened to any tradition which said that
their illustrious predecessors were not dead.
King Arthur was supposed by the English
to live on, although he dId not appear before
them. The Germans imagined that Fred
erick Barbarossa lay in a trance until the
time Of great need would come TO the nation,
when he would again lead them to victory.
Many nations have had similar traditions.
Everywhere we find tie stories OF the i'm
mortal sleepers
ut is to this class that the story of the
Wandering Jew probably belongs. Early
in the thirteenth century a form of the
legend was given to the English-speaking
people by an Armenian bishop. 1t was not
the legend of a wBnderer, but of an i'm
mortal or waiting Jew, who must exist to
the end OF time. In the sixteenth century
we hear Of a version which has been the
text of many a drama; the legend Of a Jew
doomed to wander up and down the earth
to the end OF time because of an insult
offered the Christian Savior Let US look
for the source of the story.
The Jews, like other nations, had their
legends Of their immortal great men. Enoch
was supposed to have been taken from his
surroundings without dying natural
death, Elijah was taken to the skies in a
chariot of fire. Tradition stated that Elijah
was wandering in disguise among his people
doing good wherever he went. There is no
doubt that this was the first Wandering
Jew. the immortal Elijah. This is no doubt
the source from which the Christian story
took its rise. The first appearances of the
legend were during the middle ages. at
about the time Of the most relentless perses
cution OF the Jews.
IA Christian monk perhaps shaped the
legend of Eli jah to his own purpose to rep
resent the Jews as a cursed race. BY the
tiinsy logic prevalent at that age a script
ural quotation was fitted to the altered
legend, and the tale of the Wandering
Jew augmented the bitterness Of the perse.
cution. But this legend once believed i;
now known to be but legend. Still it is ig-
norantly thought and preached in too many
! places But D'Israeli has proved i'll bis
writings that the scattering Of the jews
is not the result of a curse. Historically
and dogmsticaIIy it is proved to be i'm
possible. The Jews were present in every
quarter Of the known world before the cru
cifxion, allowing the story Of the cruel
fixion to be true. This surely was not the
result of the Savior's curse. Dramatically
the only grounds for the supposed curse are
found in the words attributed by Matthew
| to the rabble: His blood be upon US and
| our children These were the words of the
judged and not OF the judge, il the tale be
| true"

HAUNTED BY AJAw-BONR.
An Osseous Spook That Made q
Household Uncom Portable.
From the Oregon Statesman.

From, the Oregon Statesman.
About three miles north of AmitY, in
Yamhill county, stands long, low DWELL
ing house, which some thirty years ago was
reported to be the scene of some very SUPER
natural disturbances The house was occu-
pied by family consisting of q man, his
wife and daughter, young lady IS years
of age
This young lady was the victim of the
ghostly visitation referred to. The first
thing the family knew pair of old slippers
was noticad sliding about the floor, logging
the girls footsteps. But these soon disap-
peared, aud in their place came the lower
jaw-bone of hog, which persistently fol-
lowed her. She undertook no work that was
not all undone by unseen forces as soon as
completed. For instance, she would set the
table, and the very instant she had finished
and before she could turn around, dishes,
table-cloth and all would slide off onto the
floor.
Following the fashion Of those days the
lady wore hoopskirts. These would jump
on her bed and dance around during the
night.
just across the road from the dwelling
was spring whore the family procured
their water. Often when the girl would go
after a bucket of water every stitch Of
clothing would drop from her right in the
center of the road. From well built and
prepossessing young lady she began
rapidly wasting away. Various ex-
pedients were resorted to to get rid
of the jaw-bone, but all to no pur-
pose. The father at one time nailed it to a
soap-box, carried it off quite distance from
the house and buried it. The first thing to
meet his eyes when he returned home wasthe
bone. which was as tireless as ever follow
ing his daughters footsteps. Burning and
other ways of getting rid Of its tormentlng
presence were tried, but like BanQuo's
ghost, sit wouldn't down" AS last resort
the family removed to California in the
hope of Kidding themselves of the ghostly
visitor, but the last that was heard from
them the bone still pursued them.
The. scene was visited by number of
Marion county's well-known citizens, among
them two or three ex-members of toe legis-
lsture; but the only report with any degree
of authenticity is that of Mrs. Sursinger,
who is to-day living near Amity. She says
that, on one occasion, she was sitting by the
fire in the haunted house, conversing with
the family, when little girl suddenly ap-
peared and rested her elbow on the mantel-
piece, her body being suspended in midair
When asked what she wanted, the girl re-
piled that she had come fer -, giving the
young lady's name.
The dwelling. about two years after the
family left, became the residence of a pres
ent Salem physician, but no further disturb
ances were noticed.
1t has been supposed that the young lady
was the author of some awful crime, and
that this was her punishment, but she de-
MED any knowledge of a crime.

SURPRISING ISN'T RA1LEoADINa .
The Compact and Pithy Lecture Once
Given by Manager Hellstead.

From the Nel0 York Tribune.
The recent accident on the New York
Central railroad, near Hastings, recalls an
incident ia the life of William f. Hall
stead, the present general manager of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western sys-
tenn of railroads. A brakeman on the Cen
trail road is credited with having caused
that disaster by "supposing" that another
train from the one which really passed
would come along next.
Mr.. HalIstead, at the time referred TO,
was the superintendent Of the Buffalo
division of tho Lackawanna system. One
day some trifling accident had occurred and
Supt. Hallstead had summoned the
trainmen to his Office to explain how it
happened. One of the trainmen began to
explain by saying that he had supposed
such and such was the case" Mr.. Hallstead
interrupted him, however, as soon as the
word supposed" came out, with u string of
words with large DIS, for which he was
famous, he said:
you blauk, BANKED idiot, 1 want you TO
understand that supposing is not railroad
ing"
This short and forcible lecture was more
far-reaching, probably. than Mr.. Hallstead
ever expected it would be when he gavo 1t
birth. The writer was connected with the
Lackawanna railroad at that period and he
has heard the employees repeat it many times
in connection with their work. In fact, it
became an extremely familiar sentence
about one Of the largest stations on the
Buffalo division, and uulucky the man who
gave as an excuse for doing something Iu-
correctly that be supposed" something or
other. Every man within the sound of
his voice, il connected with the railroad In
any way, would quote Mr.. Hallstead's
lecture TO him. Such condition OF affairs
involuntarily made the men careful and
caused them to think before doing anything
on the "supposition' that it was all right.
Another incident in connection with Mr..
Halstead while he was superintendent OF
the Buffalo division is worth relating.
There was an old track foreman, Mr.. G..
whose abilities were highly appreciated by
Mr.. Hallstead and who was just about as
abrupt in his speech as the superintendent
himself One day Mr.. HallsteAd was
watching gang of men at work under the
superintendence Of Mr.. G. Observing a
number of new railroad ties lying IN a
ditch alongside the track, Mr.. Hallstead
| called the track foreman's attention to them
in this way:
&C what in blank are those ties doing
down there in that water
Mr. 3. turned around deliberately. looked
at the ties, and then, turning to Mr.. Hall
stead, said slowly:
"Well Bill, I've been looking at those
| ties off and on for week past, and III be
thanked If I've seen them do anything
yet"

1t is on. The silverites will have it. so let it
come Mr.. Bland has fired his first shot and
we shall hear the Others in due order As we
are forced TO discuss questions nearly related
in simplicity to those which are solved in the
multiplication table, let us treat them seri-
ously and in the same way that we treat ques-
tons asked US by our children.
Amongst the millions of objections to what
Mr.. Bland wants to do here is one:
Ten years ago "A" had five thousand
gold dollars which he wished to invest He
was offered the alternative of buying house
III Richmond city which would pay him an
annual rent of $500 year, or buying a city
bond which would pay him $500 year. He
bought the city bond on a deliberate and
careful calculation that $500 would pay his
grocer's bill during the year. All his other ex-
penses were calculated to conform TO this one,
and 80 ~ lived comfortably. Mr.. Bland pro-
poses that "A" shall no longer receive $500
year from his city bond. but that he shall here
after receive only 1910 a year. Now. if "A"
had bought the house he would continue to re-
ceiye $500 year Of rent from it, and if men
like Mr.. Bland deprecated the currency by 30
per cent. he would raise his rent and receive
$3.50 year. But having bought the city's
bond. he must take as interest on it what Mr.
Bland prescribes so that his wife must econo-
mise. give up her sealskin coat and eat and
drink one-third less of groceries.
The TINES thinks "A" has the right to 60 on
drawing his $500 per annum to invest it as he
pleases. Mr.. Bland differs with TIE TINES
and thinks that he should be cut down to
500. Well. thinking 80, The TINES sees
nothing to do with Mr.. Bland but to CON-
mend to his perusal the eighth command

THE STATE CENTRAL COMMIT EE.

IT.. c,.,. ,roI Democratic committee
will meet in this city tonight to decide upon
place for holding the sta'e oon'en''on ~
meet in May TO select deleg"IeS 70 lineage
and also TO agree upon the basis Oh represeh-
tation in that convention. 1t is stated that
several cities now urge their claims to that
honor but there is every reason why hicn-
mond should DO selected.
II is eminenty appropriate tnat' as this CITY
is the capital of the State all state conven-
tons should be held here. 1t Is more easy oil
access from all sections than any other city
and is the natural meeting place OF such
ssernbages; but outside OF this the ques-
ton of accommodation is one which
plays an important part IN the con-
sderation OF this subject. II Is estimated
that about ZOO delegates will be present. ana
il stands 10 reason that this being by far the
largest city in Virginia, can offer better facil-
ties for taking care comfortably of that num-
Der Of visitors than any other All things else
being equal. therefore. Richmond would be
tho place above any of her rivals for the con-
vention.
One of the arguments which WILL we under
stand, be advanced why Norfolk should be
selected. is that the citizens Of that city have
pledged certain amount of money to pro-
vide for the cost of renting hall and similar
expenses incident 10 the session. This
certainly should be no obstacle in the
way of Richmond. Our citizens can
easily afford to give all the funds necessary to
defray the necessary expenses OF the body
and. as a matter of business If not OF sentl-
ment, they ought to see to it that the city
does not lose the convention on that account.
We hope then that all difficulties in the way
will he removed and that the superior adyan-
tages of Richmond will commend themselves
10 the committee so strongly that she
may DO unheststingly selected. Then we
hope that the people throughout the
State will insist upon their voices being
heard and elect delegates according to their
will. Under such circumstances no Democrat
in the State would have any right to object to
the result. no matter what it might be.
although the large majority of the body will
unquestionably be for Cleveland.
