HAuNTs OF THE WHITE BASS

"' f.'S
In the north central states, where the
black bass Is scarce and In some regions
unknown. a very worthy substitute for
this grand game fish Is found I'm the
white bass. 1t cannot. indeed, be said
that the latter species possesses all OF
the fine qualities of the former, but in
habits, haunts and food IL much re-
sembles the black variety. It's shape is
quite different, the body being more
oval and no so thick through, and the
head being shorter. The mouth is
rather smaller than that OF the small
moutbed blass bass. In color 1t Is in
marked contrast to its black brother,
being OF a clear silvery white, barred

stance to the vanity Of men. Just you

the elevator man, meekly.

with feverish excitement to this totally
unexpected treasure of sacred history.
But almost az remarkable as the dis
covery Of the manuscript is the extraor-
binary story of how II was unearthed.
The details of the visit Of two English
women to the lonely monastery OF st.
Catherine or the summit of Mount Sinai
and the accident which revealed the
Syriac Gospels are told below.
To return to the manuscript.
Christ, as We know. was master Of
several languages. but it Is certain that
Syriac was the II He learned as an
infant.
In moments of great mental excite
ment 1t was this language-Syriac-
that leaped naturally to His lips. and
when He cried out in anguish upon the
Cross He spoke In Syriac words which
our Greek Gospel has to translate, but
which in this newly discovered Gospel
stand in their proper place with no
need of translation.
These Gospels give, for instance, an
entirely new reading OF proper names.
From this it appears that there
vas no such person as Judas Iscariot,
but that he who betrayed his Master
with a kiss was .Juda Scariota. that
Peters name was Cepha, and that the
correct name for the Mount of Olives
was Beth Zaita.
But above and beyond such techni-
cal differences as these are the new
and unexpected readings Of the Gospels
which this ancient manuscript dis
closes upon dogmatic questions of the
first Importance. Written, as 1t is adj
mitted, SO near to the death of John,
and couched in the language which
was native in Palestine, this, the old
est Of authentic records OF His life
and mission, must take It's place In the
very front among historical docu-
ments.
And right here. 1t might be said that
this ancient document. which has been
found In the very place where Moses
received the commandments. while It
cOincides with the TRANSACTIONS OF the
Gospels accepted up to the present day,
yet differs from II.
The difference is Of itself regarded
as proof of It's originality and genuine
ness.
In doctrinal matters thore are differ
snces that have already aroused the
theologians. Thus Is the entire Ques-
tion Of the immaculate Conception

record of the doings and sayings of the
Saviour. 1t was written within fifty
years of the death of the last of the
Apostles-as near to the time of Christ
as we today are to the time of Washing
ton.
The Gospels OF the Bible are from
the Greek manuscripts. Christ, how
ever, addressed the multitude and talk
I'd with his disciples in Syriac. the ma
tive tongue He learned at His mothers
knee.
And here. for the first time. the
Christian world has the history Of the
Saviour told In the very words He used
the infection, the spelling. the pre-
else shades of meaning. Written in the
native language of Palestine, this aged
manuscript is more valuable than the
Greek TRANSACTIONS. which are the ac-
cepted Gospels Of Christianity.

ANOTHER WILL CONTEST.

Petition for the Revocation of Probate
Proceedings in the Mckay Estate.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.-Another
big will contest was brought into the
courts here to-day. David Mckay, a
capitalist, died year ago, leaving an
estate valued at over $500, 900. He wilIed
$50, 200 and the family residence on Pacific
avenue to his widow. All the residue of
mis- estate he bequeathed to his two sons,
David and Angus, expressly disinherit-
ing his TWO married daughters, Mary
Seekamp and Margaret Stewart, stating
that he had previously made ample pro-
vision for them.
The will was admitted to probate with
out opposition, but to-day the daughters
peutioned for revocation OF the probate
proceedings. They declare that their
father was of unsound mind, and that the
will was procured by undue influence
exercised by the widow and the two sons.
They declare that their father was IN
sanely prejudiced against the Roman
Catholic religion. and that their mother
and brothers used this knowledge tc
prejudice their father against them. 1t is
alleged that they represented to the father
that his daughters had joined the Cath
olic Church in defiance of his expressed
wishes.
