JEWS TO RAISE A FUND.
Rabbi CaIisch Makes n Suggestion,
and Paradise Lodge Leads on.

Rev. DR.. T.. n. Calisch made an elo-
quent and mastery address. speaking
pathetically Of the ruins of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, at a meeting OF Para
disc Lodge, No. 223, ]. o. b. b., held sun
day night. He dwelt particularly upon
the appreciation and gratitude that was
felt by the Jews OF America for the
labor and name OF Thomas jefferson. and
OF which they could, in a measure, now
give evidence by contributing substan-
TALLY 20 a fund TO be raised for the pur-
pose of rebuilding the university. AS
means of carrying this to successful
issue, his idea is to employ the nal
Birth order as the vehicle TO assist IN
accommodating the same.
Ai'er submitting a preamble approving
most heartily the noble sentiments OF the
speaker the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That a special fund be col
lected for the purpose of giving substan-
tial evidence of 'the appreciation and
gratitude in which the labors and name
OF Thomas Jefferson are held by the Jews
of the United states. and that Paradise
Lodge appropriates so as a nucleus Of
that fund"
Mr.. s. l.. Bloomberg is president, and
Isaac Held, Esq. secretary. of Paradise
Lodge.

Three saIoonists Reported.

The present agitation OF the question
of Sunday liquor selling caused extra
ordinary precautions to be taken by the
barkeepers who usually keep their side
doors open on the Sabbath and by those
who frequent their saloons. as well. The
police were unusually vigiiant. and the
saloonists knew 1t. The captain OF each
police district made a personal tour or
his territory. and Chief Howard made a

THE SMEDES.

That was a notable event In the history
OF emigration to the United States when,
25 years ago, w. W. THOMAS, Jr., since
minister TO Sweden and Norway, started
with fifty-one Swedes to form colony in
the world that was yet new to them.
That colony was planted in Maine, and
was called New Sweden. Yesterday the
citizens OF New Sweden, and all the coun-
try around about, celebrated the anniver-
sary of the sailing.
From the colony OF New Sweden have
started the thousands of Swedes in this
country. Spreading first over New En-
gland, the Swede has now a residence in
almost every State in the Union. He has
been desirable emigrant. He has learned
our language, and has quite rapidly be-
come an American citizen. The original
emigrants found much to attract them,
even in the Maine wilderness, where the
colony of New Sweden was planted, and
it has apparently not been difficult to
induce Swedes to come over to join them,
in this free country, where mans labor
counts more for the man, than 1t does
anywhere else on earth.

A MILE UNDERGROUND.

The Eiffel Tower and Ferris wheel
seem to have exhausted mans skill for
aerial engineering. Already novel sub
stitute for these wonders is being pro-
jected by those interested in the Paris
Fair of 1900 The new marvel is to tunnel,
instead of tower, in its course, and is to
consist OF nothing less grewsome than a
subterranean passage extending vertically
toward the earth's center for 1000 feet.
This hole in the ground is to consist of
is to contain two elevators, and at the
end of each descent the passengers can
alight to partake of refreshments in a
brilliantly lighted gallery followed out in
the earth at right angles to the deep bor-
ing. Each Of these caverns is devoted to
some special purpose-the representation
of the Arctic and the tropical regions, min
ing, deep sea conditions, etc.
The projectors of the scheme promise
perfect ventilation in all parts of the ex-
cavation, and II this can be secured there
is no doubt the extreme novelty of the
trip will keep the elevators filled though
such descent must surely be far less at
tractive than the climb up the high
tower or a ride in the great wheel.
AS borings have already been made over
5000 feet in depth, it is question whether
this one will add much to our present
scientific knowledge concerning the in
terror of the earth. The conditions ex-
isting there are a subject of constant re-
search and discussion to scientific men,
but, unfortunately, the distance we have
been able to probe Is SO infinitesimal COM
pared with the whole radius of the earth
that we are scarcely wiser than when we
began. This, however, is no reason why
investigation should be- frowned down,
and very probably the two and half mil
lions of dollars requisite for this subter-
ranean novelty will fulfill an excellent
purpose in treating curious mortals to
glimpse of the old earth's "true inward
ness.

Bishop Clark's Star Lecture
New York Sun.

IL appears that a clever lyceum lecturer
may run a single lecture for a lifetime, and
may maze barrel of money by repeating II
year after year before different audiences. In
a book of "reminiscences by the genial Bishop
Clark Of Rhode Island, which Is fresh from
the press, he makes revelation of tho fact that
he has delivered one Of his own lectures 351
timesl Let US regret that ho does not tell
the amount Of profit he has got from IL.
Plenty OF lecturers have taken in from Sl00 to
5000 for lecture and, AZ the bishop used 10
be platform star, well worth $1,000 a time.
he may have got a pretty handsome annual
ipcome from his lecture Suppose he de-
liverod IL 10 times year at that price for IS
years. he could live in clover on the proceeds.
1t is not every man who would sneeze at $40,
OO0 year from the time he was say. 10 years
DID, till he reached the age OF 75 all earned
by rattling off the same old lecture once a
month, with two months for vacation and
bracing up.

That satirical lecturer, tho late David II.
Locke. better known as the "Rov. Petroleum
vosuvius Nasby," had device by which he
saved time and brain. He himself once con.
Tossed 20 us that when lyceum committee
from any place called upon him TO engage his
services, and asked what no would lecture
about, ho always told them 20 take their
choice -"Cursed- -Be- Canaan, !" "a Moses N, tho

dentially, "a had only one lecture all the
