a JEWIsA COLONY
In Far-oT Notwithstanding Theorl

In Far-on India-InterestinC Theories
Regarding E,rIy settlers
Enarkalum in India, the principal city
Of the Catholic Syrians, has as we'll n
small community of HISTORIANS, which
latter sect may be subdivided into other
sects. Aside from these, however, there
is also q small community of black Jews.
1t can not be historically traced how
these people came to India, unless one is
of the opinion that they are the decend-
ants of tho natives proselytized by
Hiram Tarschish and that Enarka-
lum was tho Ophir of King
Solomon. Probably tho founding
of the colony occurred when the Jews
were liberated under Cyrus. The Jewish
quarter in Enarkalum does not materially
differ from similar quarters in other ORR
entail cities unless 1t be through the mud
and doubtful doors which exist there in
greater excess than in other localities.
The streets are narrow and are constantly
thronged with people, notably by the
characteristic Jews, who arc at once dis
tinctly recognized. The men are usually
provided with forelocks Of luNuriant hair
and long kaftans. The Jewish women
who arc not influenced by the Purdah
customs may be found quite handsome
eyes in contrast to tho somber, sensuous
physioGnomies of the other Indian
women.
The synagogues, paved with magnifi-
cent porcelain tablets, will attract every
connoisseur of art. In these synagogues
are shown valuable sacred vessels and
miters which are inlaid with diamonds
and are used in the services. Among not
able objects shown are copper tablets
with inscriptions which yet await deci-
phering, and are said to contain a royal
decree of Salesman regarding a favor
able edict for the black Jews. The parch-
ment rolls, which are usually wound round
with valuable silk coverings, are exceed
lngly handsome. These Jews live strictly
within the ancient laws of Judaism.
They perform no services on Satur-
day, nor do they engage in any traf-
flc on that day. They deal largely in
fish, poultry and other household
commodities, while many of them
are mechanics and artisans. Dur
ing the siege of Cochin thcy were counted
among the heroes 81 the front ranks. The
Neiher.anders laid siege 10 Cochin in iG63.
which siege lasted uuul 1875. and the
black Jews relate many heroic events
which trauspired during that era. The old
and venerable rajah OF Euarkaium had
been deeply insultcd by tho Netherlands
ers. He swore TO take terrible revenge

had silenced the tongues oi his white tor

DISAPPEA AIRED.
Where Is Rebecca RothschiId Is the
Cues ion.

Oues ion.
LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. %. - Rebecca
Rothschild, a 16-year-old girl of George
town, KY, is mysteriously missing. She
was a passenger on the belated Gascogne.
The agent of the steamship telegraphed
her father that his daughter had arrived
safely, but nothing further has been heard
of her. Rebecca, Notwithstanding her
youth, has had romantic career, and gay
young Harry Montgomery is looking into
penitentIary doors because OF her. More
than a year ago, Montgomery brought the
child to this city during the absence of
her father. Her mother had died few
months before. a@r
An uncle, learning of her trouble, came
to this city and took her from Montgom-
cry by force and carried her home. Mont
gomery was indicted for assault, Rebecca
being under age, and he was to have been
tried at the present term of court. The
girls father took her to relatives in
France shortly after her abduction, and
six weeks ago he cabled for her to come
lone to testify against Montgomery.
The question now is whether Montgomery
had the girl spirited away to preventEher
appearing against him, or If some evil has
befallen the child. Montgomery refuses
to talk further than that he received let
tiers from her while she was abroad. srI

The Railroad Kidney.
(London Public Opinion. J

NIOHuou EuDllC OplnlOn.
This complaint is now recognized by
medical men. 1t is caused by an artificial
stoppage of the pores of the skin. If any
person will examine his hand after rid
ing for two or three hours in train-and
this is especially true if he be perspiring
he will find his hand is dirty But a
closer examination will show the exist
ence of a fine CRIME, the particles of
which, so soon as the perspiation ceases,
act as minute corks, stopping up the ori.
fees of the pores. How deeply this CRIME
works into the skin is shown by the fact
that after a railorad trip one washes one S
hands and face two or three times before
they become clean. 1t is the CRIME which
produces railroad kidney. OF course, it is
not supposed that an ordinary healthy
person will contract this disease in trip
OF day or two. But where person is
already sufferer from chronic disease of
the kidneys it is possible that a week on
railroad trains would aggravate his NAL
ady to an appreciable extent.

Holmes who is held in Philadelphia for
the murder of the Pietzel children in
Toronto has been guilty of no less than
six murders, all committed to obtain life
insurance. His real name is Mudgett and
he is native of New Hampshire. When
young man he studied medicine and
the knowledge thus gained has been of
aid to him in carrying out his diabolical
schemes. At first he swindled the in
surance companies by palming off corpse
as that of the person insured when in
fact it was not. But after while he i'm
proved upon that by numbering the in
sured person. Pietzel, man whom he
got insured, and his three children, and
two Williams girls whom he fell in with
in Chicago during the Worlds Fair, were
all without much doubt killed by him,
and it is not improbable that eventually
more murders will be brought home to
him.

have so contracted the currency as to
make it hard for the laboring man, in the
very next he proposes as remedy a
measure that will compel them to con-
tract the currency more, for of course if
nobody will take their notes they will
soon cease to issue any. - But labor lead
ers are seldom logical and they only
know of two remedies for every sort of
calamity. One is the strike and the
other is the boycott. A more effective
way OF getting at the banks would be
to induce all the cashiers and tellers and
bookkeepers to go on strike, and carry
off with them the combinations of the
vault where the funds are kept. This
would cause complete paralysis of opera
tions. But bank clerks do not belong to
Mr.. Soyereign's organization, and his
orders to strike would probably get no
attention. Hence he has had to have re-
course to the other remedy-the boycott.
Not being able to close up the banks di-
rectly, by inducing the employees to go on
a strike, he has resorted to the indirect
method of shutting them up by destroy
ing their business. The Knights of Labor
are ordered not to receive their notes and
all societies affiliated with the knights
are expected to join in the boycott out of
sympathy. Probably Mr.. Sovereign will
not succeed in paralyzing the banks to
any great degree, but it may be interest
ing to speculate as to the result if he
should. Suppose he should close all the
banks what would be the effect upon the
fortunes of the laboring man which Mr..
Sovereign processes to have so much at
heart. Banks are the reservoirs of CAPT
tai, and promoters of enterprises of all
Kinds draw from them the money needed
to carry on their business. They are
as essential to the carrying on of great
enterprises, as central reservoirs of water
are to the water supply of city or town.
Ii the reservoirs burst and the water runs
out of it the individual water taker finds
his supply cut off. So if the bank ceases
to collect together the spare capital of
the community, the individual promoters
OF enterprise cease to have store to draw
from and have to suspend operations The
effect OF abolishing the banks would be
TO paralyze industry to a far greater ex-
tent that it has been paralyzed during
the recent depression or any other depres-
sion that the country has ever seen. Boy
cotting the banks would produce about
the same effect in the industrial and
business world as boycotting the water
supply would in the physical One would
be about as foolish as the other.

1t seems to be pretty well understood
that the cabinet meeting of last week was
held to consider certain complaints made
by the Spanish government in regard to
filibustering expeditions fitted out in
this country for the island of Cuba. The
Spanish government is understood to have
expressed willingness to settle the Mora
claim if the United States would take
more stringent measures to prevent aid
being sent from this country to the Cuban
rebels. OF course this government is
bound to enforce the nutrality laws to
the best of its ability, but it is little less
than impudence on the part of Spain to
make. any conditions at all for the aapay-
ment of the Mora claim. That claim was
adjudicated years ago and Spain has re-
peatedly acknowledged her obligation to
pay it, but on one pretext and another,
she has avoided settlement. Probably
what she is trying to do now is to get an
other pretext by which to avoid payment
still longer. Our government sh ould
make it clear to her that this claim is to
be settled, irrespectiveTof any claim which
Spain may have or thinks she has against
this government, on account of fiIibuster-
ing expeditions or anything else

BOYCOTTING THE BANKS.

Grand Master Workman Sovereign
diagnosis Of the banks reveals that thew
are great public enemies, that they are
responsible for the hard times of the past
few years even to greater extent than
the crime of 1878. They have tied up
money, contracted the currency and
done many other things prejudicial to
the interests of the laboring man. Ac-
eordingly Mr.. Sovereign has ordered a
boycott of national bank notes. Com
planning in one breath that the banks
