A Romance Of the OIL Fields,

lone Of the most productive OIL wells in
the well-known Titusyille district was sold
as salted one, according to B. E. Rich
mond, Of Meadville. Pa, who recently re-
lated the following story to a friend: at
was in the early days OF the oil excitement
and capitalists were eagerly seeking lands
where surface indications gave prospects
of find. Three brothers owned a small,
sterile farm worth about 5000, and they
thought they saw chance to sell out at
big price. They had no indications, but
they had enough money tn buy lew bar
rels of oil, and by iudieious use of it they
made the indications all right. Then hey
told about it as a great secret, they dld
not want to sell; what they wanted was to
get enough money to sink wen. The
bait took, and after good deal OF haggling
party of prospectors bought the farm fer
$50 600 in cash and 10 per cent. of the OIL
the farm produced during the first two
years, they binding themselves to sink two
wells at once. When the brothers re-
ceived the money they arranged that their
10 per cent. should be placed in the bank
to their credit, and fearing exposure from
their frauds they went west, and were
never heard from. The wells were sunk,
and both wells were gushers, the 10 per
cent. was placed in the bank, according to
agreement, until the sum reached SlOO,-
600. Years passed by, and nothing was
heard of the brothers, they fearing TO
write as they thought they mlght be sub
ject to criminal prosecution for swlndling.
Finally an uncle, learning the true state OF
affairs, concluded to look ttem up. If
they were dead he would get the money,
being the nearest living relative After

SWISS ANTI-SEMITISM.
Law Forbidding the Slaughter of Cat
tie by tho jewish Method.


tie by tho Jewish Method.
The new law just adopted IN Switz-
erland which forbids the slaughter
OF cattle by tho Jewish method has
naturally caused great Indignation
and CONSERVATION among the 5000
or 5000 inhabitants of the Hebrew
faith. Tho law is to this effect: 1.-The
killing of animals without their be-
ing stunned before blood is drawn
is forbidden, without exception, what
ever be the method employed Not
a word in this enactment alludes di-
rectly to the Jews, but its object,
says tho New York Evening Post,
was avowedly anti-Semitic. Prompted
by societies which ostensibly havo
no other purpose than to prevent
cruelty to animals, it is declared to
be really the outcome of an anti
Semitic agitation imported from
Germany. The victory was chiefly
gained in German cantons, where
Jewish trade competition is most
severely felt-Zurich, Berne. Argau,
and Thurgua. Those OF Latin kin
ship - Valais, Neuchatel. Geneva,
Vaud. Friburg-sided with the cause
OF popular liberty. Only about half
the population - 100000 out OF
coo, 000-went tho poll. Even of
this number it is supposed that but
small percentage realized what
they were voting for. For twenty
years an agitation has existed on
the continent for the prohibition of
the Jewish method of slaughtering
animals. on the ground of its alleged
cruelty. Tho movement met with
cold reception in tho Berlin parlia-
ment. In Saxony it had better sue
cess. There the Jewish "shechita"
has been declared illegal by an order
OF the ministers OF the interior. The
German societies for the protection
of animals induced tho municipal
governments OF Aargau and Borne to
issue similar order, but the national
council revoked it. The cantonal
fathers then carried their case before
the federal assembly, which confirm
ed the action OF the council. There
upon the agitators availed them
selves OF the referendum. 1t is
worthy of note that the anti-Semites
found their warmcst support among
the Lutheran part of the population,
but were opposed by the Roman
Catholics
