George H. French files a petition for the
improvement Of T street northwest west of
New Hampshire avenue. and 18th street

VIII likely be improved. An estimate of
the amount required to do this work has
already been made.
A number of different people have asked
the improvement of Kentucky avenue
southeast by paving same southwark from
Lincoln Park. Several petitions are on file
for grading and regulating X street north
east between 11th ald 18th streets. and
this is one of the streets in the northeast
section that will receive the consideration
of the Commissioners when the time comes
to make out the new schedule.
Twenty-Ninth Street Northwest.
The condition of 29th street northwest
between @ and Road streets has long been
a source of complaint, and it is possible
that the Commissioners win accede to the
demands of the citizens and property hold
ers there and recommend its paving next
year.
Another street that certain property hold
ers think needs improvement is Oregon
avenue between 18th and 10th streets.
A strong petition was recently presented
to the Commissioners, urging that an as
phalt or asphalt block pavement be laid on
D street southwest between 9th and 10th
streets, in place of the old cobble pave
ment
The Improvement of 10Th street east be-
tween Florida avenue and N street has
also been applied for, and this concludes
the list now before the Commissioners.
1t is expected however. that the publica-
tion of this story will bring out requests
from property holders all over the city for
improvements that are urgently needed.
During the present week Capt. Fiebeger
it is understood. will carefully consider the
needs of the unimproved streets, and rec.
ommend to the Commissioners the adop.
ton of a street schedule. This, however
may be amended by the Commissioners
who will carefully consider applications
and make personal inspections where such
are needed. :

was the intention of the admiral to keep

tions concerning the improvement Of GER
tain streets in that section. 1t recon-
mends that 18th street be paved with con-
crete blocks from Florida avenue to Clifton
street and asphalted from Clifton street
to Whitney avenue. Further, that several
streets connecting 18th street with Bright
wood avenue should be graded and severed
and water mains laid together with side
walks. The streets recommended for this
Improvement are Roanoke and Irving. The
association also strongly recommend that
all cross streets between 18th and 14th, aud

SELECTIONS.
RUBINSTEIN'S RELIGION.

Although Jew by birth. Rubinstein
was baptized when mere infant, and,
as religion is necessity in Russia. was
forced, when residing there. to follow
the prescribed forms once a year at
least. But in reality he had little sym.
pathy with the religion of the priest.
The question of the hearafter had for
him a fascination and a certain awe;
but although he went SO far as to pro-
fess belief in humiliation after death,
yet it is to be doubted if Rubinstein
himself really knew what he did believe.
He certainly had his full share Of Jewish
skepticism, but at the same time was
full of superstition-a sure sign, at least
that he could not have believed in moth
ing, since he feared something. He
would never set out on journey on
Friday, neither would he, unless forced
by circumstances, mention any of his
undertakings before they we're accom-
plished-a superstition l encountered
only the other day in Paderewski.
In his physiognomy Rubinstein had
nothing whatever OF the Israelite. He
resembled Beethoven strangely, and for
this was laughingly dubbed Van the
H." by List. 1t is worthy of notice,
and stands greatly to his credit, that
in Russia, where it is better to be born
dog than Jew. Rubinstein, despite
his baptism, never sought to deny his
Jewish origin. In certain way he was
even proud of it, and always boldly ac-
knowledged it.
He was an ardent patriot, and loved
Russia with heart and soul, working un-
ceasingly for the musical future of his
country, having devoted the best part
OF his life to this cause. Without doubt
he did for musical Russia more than any
other man; and the best conservatory in
the world today-that of st. Petersburg
owes its existence to his enthusiasm
and the lavish gifts of money he made
from time to time. He was curiously
proud of his work. and he said once to
me: "When l am dead. all that care
men should remember me by is this con-
servatory-that they should say it was

The second death which came upon
the Jews as nation at the time of their
final overthrow, we have now seen was
OF the same nature or kind with the
first, which came upon them in Babylon;
but still it was more awful, inasmuch as
it affected them for much longer dura-
ton Of time. But in this, as in all the
ways OF God to man, is heavenly wisdom
made to appear, inasmuch as the rescue
from the latter shall be more glorious
than that OF the former. From the first
death they were brought forth to the
enjoyment of national life and prosper.
ity; but from the second death" the
final dissolution of their nation, from
that blindness which wise Providence
saw fit to bring upon them, they shall
come forth to the enjoyment of life and
blessings which shall never end. This
is plainly implied in the language of the
Saviour when he declared that the time
should ultimately come when they
should say BLESSED is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord"
Conclusion.
have now brought our subject to q
close. l have given you what sincere
ly believe to be the true meaning of the
Scripture which has been the theme of
remark Mankind are fallibe creatures.
We are liable to err in judgment, hence
| ask you not to receive as true the ex-
position which has been given of the
text because l have said it was 80, but
examine it for yourselves, and if you can
find better or more consistent view of
the subject. embrace it. / do not say
that l have given true explanation of
the text, but that / have given what /
believe to be truth. There is differ
ence of opinion existing in the denomi-
nation of Christians to which your
speaker belongs in reference to this
subject. But all who thus differ explain
the text in such way as to agree with
the language of inspiration, that the
time shall ome when there shall be no
more death" Therefore. though we read
of death and second death, and though
there may be an hundred deaths, yet the
idea extant in our world that there is to
be an eternal death is extremely futile
it is entirely out of the question. for if
there is truth in the divine testimony,
the time will come when Christ will
have destroyed death, the last enemy
"All things shall be subdued unto Christ,
when he himself shall also become SUBJ
ject unto the Father, that God may be-
all in ALL"
What glorious prospect is here pre-
sented to our view! By the eye of faith
we are enabled to look forward through
the vista of the future and behold a
world of sinful, erring creatures like
ourselves raised from death temporal of
the body, freed from death spiritual of
the soul, and from all death or deaths
to which in the flesh we may have been
subjected and made the immortal recip-
tents Of the fadeless joys of heaven.

About The Daughter.

There is no limit to the amount of ad-
vice which mothers receive as to their
duty to their children, particularly to
their daughters. If they do not take
the advice and consequently do not i'm
prove in their treatment and training of
their daughters, of course these ad Sisers
cannot be blamed.
An editorial writer in one of our ex-
changes. probably a man, speaks to
mothers in the following words, which
will no doubt be approved by those who
have an eye for the charms of domestic
life. At least, it will have the interest
which such opinions usually excite:
eff is the duty Of every mother with
daughter under her charge. to work with
her. and interest her in the duties which
every woman should know we'll how to
perform, whether she will have to do
them or will SUPERVISE the maid"

siah, or into the Gospel dispensation.
All whose names were not found written
in the book of life we're cast into the
"lake of fire." This was true in relation
to the Jews, to the very letter; for all
who rejected the Messiah were taken by
the Roman army. their temple and their
city destroyed, and they made to pass
through series of awful sufferings,
represented by the lake of fire in the
text.
Those Christians who remained faith.
full and true to the cause of Christ unto
the end, or until the time arrived when
the Jewish dispensation should be
brought to close, suffered none of that
misery and woe which came upon the
Jews. They had been quickened in
spirit, renewed in mind, and raised from
the beggarly elements of sin and un.
belief to realizing sense of the high
and holy principle of the Gospel of life
and salvation. This is what the Reve.
lator terms the First Resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in
the First Resurrection. On such the
second death hath no power"
In the light of our subject this is
made to appear perfectly plain. Those
Christians who had been morally raised
to the enjoyment of the privileges of the
Gospel, on such the second death, or
that destruction which befell, the jews
had no power; it affected them not. So
entirely exempt were they from it. that
not one of their number was taken by
the Romans. but all escaped. while the
unbelieving Jews were cut off-their ma
ton entirely destroyed. and they scat
tered to the four winds of heaven.

Opinions Upon Presidents Financial
Communication Very CnfayOrablc.
Washington, Dec. 20.-The special
message of the president. which reached
the capitol this afternoon after the ad-
journment of the house, was received
with widespread astonishment on all
sides. Although its purpose became
quickly known and circulated rapidly
through the hotels where many pubic
men resided. SO surprised were they
that at midnight few could be found
who cared to express an opinion for
publication either upon its merits or as
to the course which congress would
probably pursue. Privately, Republi-
can members of the house severely criti-
cised the president. 1t was contended
by number of those gentlemen that
the message was ill-advised and unnec-
essary and its erect would be to add to
the gravity of the situation and that
congress is in no position at present to
offer the desired relief. They assert
they will not agree to any measure look
ing to the retirement of the greenbacks
and the substitution therefor of gold
interest bearing bonds. Speaker Reed,
"'Sh opo1NNh w w u i'oS itp-
resentative, politely declined to express
any opinion respecting the message.
He thought 1t not unlikely that congress
might remain in session with view TO
assisting the executive so far as lay in
its power, but beyond this he declined
to talk.
Two things, however, are considered
as certain. One Is that congress will
not adjourn tomorrow, as was expected,
and secondly, that the announcement
of the committee will be made s..Orl.y
after the house meets.
