rhe Curlinc Sword snako.

There is a little reptile belonging in
Madagascar known as the scimitar
snake, that is the curling sword. Run
ming along the back from head to tail
is a blackish, horny substance, which
bends with the convolutions of the
snakes body as readily as would a well
tempered steel spring, and throughout
its entire length it bears an edge as
hard as flint and sharp as a razor. They
are not poisonous, but when one of
them springs on man, which he likes
very well to do, he will soon have leg
off unless cracked on the pate. Some
snake specialists claim that the pres
ence of this reptile on the island is the
reason there are no large quadrupeds to
be found there at present, the curling
sword in back ages having taken off
legs faster than they could be created.
Even queens are not exempt from
fads. Queen Victoria is extremely fond
of two Spanish bullocks of great beauty
which she has had for many years. A
young English girl has succeeded. in
grouping the two animals in most eff
fective manner in bit of sculpture or
dered by the queen, and with which her
majesty was duly pleased. In the
course of her study of the royal pets
the young sculptor grew enviab1y init
mate with them, even to the extent of
having them take Jumps of sugar from
her hand.

Disappeared with HIS wife's Mo-

Disappeared with His wife's Money.
SAN Francisco, April 1.-THE police
are looking for Peter B. Gold stone, who
disappeared rather strangely last night
with $4,000 of his wife's money. Ac-
cording to the story told by his wife, she
was married to her husband March 21.
Yesterday. Goldstone induced her to
sign check for $1,000 which he cashed.
Last night he took his wife to the thea
ter, and during. one of the acts left her,
promising to return in a few minutes.
This is the last che saw of him. 1t was
afterwards learned that he left the city
with woman named Waters. He had
been courting the latter previous to
meeting the young woman whom he
married, on ascertaining that she pos
sessed some money.

rabbi till 1878, when he went to Louis
vile, KY, and became the rabbi of the
AdaS-1srael congregation in that city.
During these first years of his pulpit
work, says Frank Leslie's Weekly, Dr.
Hirsch became conspicuous as a rad
ical reformer, in which course he but
followed line laid out by his illustrious
father, who drew upon himself the CEN
sure of many of his coreligionists for
uniting Jews and Christians in mar
riage. In 1880 Sinai congregation, Chi
cago, secured young DIR. Hirsch as its
officiating rabbi, which position he still
holds. Under his administration the
religious service has undergone great
sweeping changes; all that smacks of
the ancient and ceremonial has been
done away with, and the climax was
reached six years ago, when it was de-
termined that the Sabbath services
should be held on Sunday instead of
Saturday. This custom still prevails in
the Sinai temple, DIR. Hirsch holding
that the ''Sunday-Sabbath movement is
the only salvation for Judaism as a
spiritual religion"
DIR. Hirsch is professor of Semitic lam
guages and literature in the University
of Chicago; was a lecturer at the Ply
mouth summer school for applied
ethics to the summer of 1892; he is pres
ident of the board of directors of the
public library of the city of Chicago; an
editorial contributor to several German
periodicals, and editor of the Chicago
Reform Advocate. Among DIR. Hirsch's
published works, the most important
are, s'The Age of Toil,'' a contribution
to Biblical criticism, and -''The Cruel
fxion from Jewish Standpoint DR..
Hirsch's wife is the daughter of the late
David Ainhorn, a distinguished theolo-
gian, who for many years was foremost
in the fight for reform in Judaism.

SERVIA'S YOUNG KING
Takes Possession Of His Throne and
Palace.
MOST BRILLIANT COUP D'ETAr
The Regents and Ministers ousted
at a Banquet---Creates a
Sensation.
BRILLIANT COUP D'ETAr

BELGRADE, April IA. A bloodless
coup d'etat was effected here last night,
and King Alexander I, the youthful
ruler of Servia, who heretofore governed
the country through regents, today rules
in his own name. A grand banquet was
given at the palace last night. Plans
were secretly laid by means of which
the regents and the ministry would be
ousted without an opportunity of oppos-
ing. The unsuspecting regents and
ministers attended the banquet and
while enjoying themselves at the palace
an attachment of soldiers and bodies OF
police took possession of the ministers
houses and occupied the government
buildings. At midnight, while the fes-
tivities were still in progress, King Al
exander proclaimed that he had attained
his majority, and had assumed with the
skupshtina the government of the coun-
try. As matter of fact the king had
not attained his majority. When the
deposed regents and ministers heard the
proclamation they we're dumbfounded.
The king and his advisers acted with
great promptitude, and the soldiers,
who were in waiting, at once placed the
regents and ministers under arrest.
The Servian army is loyal to the king.
Had it not been the coup d'etat would
not have been possible. After issuing
the proclamation, and long before day
break, the king proceeded to the bar
racks, where the troops were under
arms, and was received with joyous ac-
clamations and many expressions of
loyalty. The proclamation, which he
issued everywhere in the country today,
bears the kings signature. In it Alex
ander declares the constitution has been
lately in sore jeopardy, the rights of
citizens imperiled and the constitutional
position of parliament so abased that
the king must end the unhappy condi-
ton of affairs. He therefore declares he
has come to age, and has assumed the
kingly power. Henceforth, the pro-
clamation adds, the Servian constitution
acquires its full significance. The re-
gents have been deposed, the cabinet
dismissed and new ministry appointed.
Dokitch is the new prime minister.

DIR. EMIL HIRscH.
Tho Leader OF Jewish Advance Thought
in the United States.

DR.. Emil G.. Hirsch was born in Lux
emburg, Germany, in 1852, and is the
son of the late DIR. Samuel Hirsch, who
was for q number of years the rabbi of
Philadelphia's most important reform
congregation. He came to this country
with his father in 1866, and was gradu-
ated from the University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1872.
He continued his studies in Berlin
and Leipsic and returned to America in
1876, in which year he accepted a call
from the Congregation Har-Sinai at
Baltimore, Nd, where he officiated as

Little to Cheer Them.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Ore
gonian off1ce-seekers here are in the
dumps, and there is little to cheer them.
They have been here for some time, and
yet very few plums have fallen. Sena-
tor Mitchell has been receiving vast
quantities of applications from all
parts of the state, and has been filing
them. The outside office-seekers, how
ever, will not have the benefit OF
republican senator in this matter
very long, for Senator Mitchell goes
to Oregon in a few days. The ap-
pointment of a minister to Turkey yester-
day was sore disappointment to Col.
Robert A. Miller, who was here and an
applicant for the place. Ex-Postmaster
Roby was also an applicant, but it is
understood that his friends are now
booming him for postmaster of Portland.
The fight for the appraisership grows
very warm. Mrs. G. w. Johnston is
here, and is advocating the claims of
her husband for the place. There are
numerous other candidates, some with
good backing and others with only their
own applications and a few indorse-
ments. But the cool treatment the Ore
gon democrats have received at the
White House has not been encouraging
to them.

the famous Briggs case, and to deal
with twenty-eight overtures for revision
of the confession of faith, besides trans

delegates are mostly known as Briggs
or "anti-Brggs," and that the question Of
revision is arousing infinite discussion,
will sum up the situation.
That the President of the United States
