Rabbi DIR. Kohler on Christmas.
From saturdav's New YORK. Herald


Before large congregation in the TEN.
pie BETHEL last evening the Rev DR.. X
Kohler lectured on Jewish Thoughts on
Christmas" After paying a high tribute
to the good accomplished by Christianity,
DR.. Kohler said
at is not God, but the man Jesus who
appeals TO millions of benighted Chris
tians to day-not for the mysteries and
miracles Of His life and death, but for the
ethical maxims Of the teacher. IL is to
his human love that theuations pay hon.
age to-day. Their worship is a tribute,
therefore, TO the jewish race. from which
sprang the carpenter whose life so bene-
flied mankind. Nor does the Jew today
hesitate to recognize Jesus as one of his
race one OF the great masters. True, he
did not originate the golden rule. This
was taught by the Jews hundreds of
years before mis- birth. lie gave TO the
truths Of religion new meaning TO the
people
"Oh, that in this time Of general dis
tress all difference between Jew and Gen
tile may be forgotten, and that once again
there may ring out, peace on earth, good
will to men" Truth and righteousness
are the foundations of Gods throne; but
love and charity are deeper than these. "

ROME. Aug. 21.-The troubles growing
out of the fighting between the French

CARRIED A BLACK FLAG.
Feature of the Parade of Unemployed at
New York CITY.


New York, Aug. 22.-The attendance
of unemployed at Union Square was
fully 5000 last night, the meeting being
much larger than that of Saturday night
There was no disorder however, at any
time and the speakers were permitted to
shout to their hearts content. Two
trucks tanked the crowd and from
these speakers of different nationalities
harangued the audiences, while from
the plaza itself Emma Goldman, the
Anarchist queen, screamed words of
threatful warning. She was preceded
and followed by others who spoke in
in English, German and Hebrew. The
tenor of the speeches was that the peo-
pie were hungry and wanted work.
If they did not get bread by working
for it they would be compelled to
get it by other means. The
crowd cheered these sentiments, and
at the close Of the meeting went away
without any attempt at disorder. Capt.
Devery and forty policemen headed the
procession. At the start of the march
Capt. Devery took black flag from the
hands OF a man in the ranks. The
speechmaking began about 7:3O and in
less than two hours it was all over

FLOWERS, SHRUBS AND TREES.

THE great oaks in Waverly, Mass,
are survivors of an oak forest that
must have existed in that region, ac-
cording to the geologists, as far back
as the tenth century.
IT Is stated that one New Yorker
living opposite Central park expends
one hundred and fifty dollars monthly
upon his roof garden, and there are
no less than six such parterres in the
city.
ORCHIDS are comparatively new to
florists and the public, but they are
becoming more common, and at the
same time more perfect, every year. In
spite of the fact that they are very
expensive, as indeed all the choice
blooms are nowadays, they are often
seen in the florists supplies
AS THE season for lifting dahlias is
here, 1t may be well to say that the
roots ought to be turned stems down
ward as soon as the tops are cut off,
and kept SO until spring. The losses
of dahlias during the winter, other
wise than by freezing, are mostly
caused by neglect of this precaution

On Friday the news Of the death Of
Edward Gallagher, of New Boston,
Schuylkill county, was received here.
Mr.. Gallagher had been resident of
Drifton and the towns about here since
his boyhood, and had removed to the
place of his death ouly short time ago.
He was about 80 years of age, and his
friends and those who knew him found
him at all times an upright and honest
young man whose demise they sincerely
regret.
He had not been in good health for
some time past, but it was not thought
his illness was serious, and he was walk
ing around early Friday morning.
About 10 o'clock he found himself be-
coming worse and went to bed. Two
hours later he died. A wife and five
children and three brothers and sister
are left to mourn him.
The deceased was member of Divi-
sion 10, A. 0. H., of Freeland, and
delegation left here for New Boston yes
terday to take charge of the remains,

ONE of the most priced relics belong

1t was taken at Bowling Green.

relic is still preserved at Bascombe

COMMON MISTAKES.

COLUMBUS did not foretell an eclipse
of the moon to frighten the natives of
Jamaica into rendering him assistance
There was no eclipse of the moon at
that time.
THE immense burning glasses with
which Archimedes burned the ships of
the besiegers of Syracuse at ten miles
distance were never manufactured,
and it is now known that they could
not be.
COLUMBUS did not make an egg stand
on end to confuse his opponents. The
feat was performed by Brunelschi, the
architect, to silence critics who asked
him how he was going to support the
dome of the cathedral of Florence.
THE day is usually reckoned as being
twenty-four hours in length. Strictly
speaking such is mistake. The
standard unit of time is the "sidereal
day." which is 23 hours Sc minutes and
4.092 seconds in the "solar" mean"
time.

The year 1892, SO far as the increase
of membership and prosperity of the
Odd Fellows are concerned, was unpre-
cedented in its history. More. than
$4,000 members were added to the total
membership, and that with the ordinary
increase since the last report it might
safely be assumed thatgthe total men,
bership of the order, male and female,
has now reached and passed 100000.
On the first day of January, 1898, there
were 1924 lodges and 2, ,346 encampmepts
under the jurisdiction of the sovereign
grand lodge, with TAI ,295 lodge members
and 1925 encampment members. In
addition to these there were 1905 Re-
beckah lodges having membership of
1S0,S69.
The order has extended not only
through the United States and the
Canadas, but lodges have been instituted
and are now to be found in Mexico,

Netherlands, France, Denmark, Sweden

Was There Poison in the Food d?

G. w. Guerley, scab telegraph oper-
ator, who was brought to Wilkes Barre
from Philadelphia, during the recent
Lehigh Valley strike, died on Saturday
afternoon at the hospital, after suffering
with all the symptoms of arsenical poi
soning, and developments have already
occurred which may terminate in startl-
ing disclosures. Guerley was taken sick
on Thursday evening and reported off
duty owing to what he thought was Sc
we're attack of collie. A physician was
called and was asked to leave medicine
for collie, which he did,
About midnight Guerley became so
weak from the pain he suffered that
word was sent to Superintendent Esser,
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, who had
the sick man taken to the hospital in
company ambulance.
There the physicians found him suffer-
ing from what they believed was arseni-
cal poisoning, and endeavored to save
him, but he sank gradually until Friday
night, when he rallied for short time
and was able to talk. He said he could
not imagine where he could have eaten
any food that was poisoned, but that on
Thursday afternoon he ate veal outlet at
restaurant and short time afterward
was first taken ill. Later on Friday
night he had relapse, and continued
growing weaker until death.
The coroner ordered an autopsy which
was held on Saturday night by DR..
Robins and DR.. Kyle. They found in
the stomach distinct traces of poisoning.
The stomach, they Say had almost been
eaten away. They will make careful
diagnosis of the case and give their
evidence at the inquest today.
Meanwhile County Detective Whalen
is investigating the matter and says he
expects startling developments.
