AN UNCOMMON INCIDENT.
The Entrance of Mrs. Frazer Into the An
Client Fold Of Israel.

A lady named Mrs. Ida Frazer, who has
become prosclyte TO Judaism from Chris
tianity has recently been received into the
Jewish fold with appropriate ceremonies.
The reception ceremony was under the di-
rection of Rabbi Calisch of Beth Ahaba
synagogue, Richmond through whose per-
sonal agency her mind was turned toward
Judaism and under whose guidance she
made thorough study of the Mosaic law
and teachings.
The ceremony was interesting and i'm
prcssive. When she had entered the syna-
goguc, the scroll of the law was read in her
presence by the rabbi, and Immediately
afterward the strains of sacred chant
We're heard in the edificc. Rabbi Calisch
then proclaimed that he knew that this
woman was qualified and prepared to enter
into Judaism. He next openly questioned
her as to the teachings of that religion, as
To whether she fully and freely accepted
them, and us to her determination to abide
by them. Her answers were satisfactory.
The profession of faith followed, after
which she read the Ten Commandments of
Moses in the Hebrew language. Tho initi-
atory ceremony was complete. She was
now q Jewess. A hymn was sung
She then read discourse which she had
prepared for tho occasion, and which was
founded on the text in the book of job,

Among other things, she said: "There Is
need for prayer at this tins on the part of

A BICYCLE RIFLE NOW.
Ingenious Weapon Which whecImen May
Carry ON Their Travels.

A bicycle rifle invented by II. NJ. Quack-
enbush Of Herkimer, ~ Y, Is IA novelty
IN the way Of portable arms. Recent hold
ups of bicyclists by highwaymen who go
awheel have created a demand for some
portable means of defense The new weap-
on weighs but 81 ounces and can be used
in a variety of ways. The stock is con-
structed on the skeleton plan and can be
used either as a pistol or rifle.
1t has an arm rest, which is n long steel
rod with fixture which may bc drawn
out from the stock, making the pistol n
rifle. The gun is so constructed that it
can be taken apart and hacked in "A small

WORLDS GOLD PRODUCT.
Tho United States VIII Still Occupy First
Place In 1896.

The officials Of the mint bureau estimate
that theworld's production OF gold during
1896 will exceed the aggregate production
of gold and silver recorded few years ago.
This estimate puts the gold production for
the current year ut s220, 600, 900, of which
tho United States may contribute S54, ,000,-
600, against S47, 900, 600 last year
This will keep the United States at the
head of tho gold producing countries. She
attained this position In 1895 and crowded
Australia and Africa from the first and
second places, which they occupied in 1894.
Australia is constantly increasing her pro-
duction, but the increase is not likely to be
so meteoric as in the United States and
Africa.
The gold production of the world has
been climbing steadily upward since 1890,
when it stood slls, ,s4s, 200. The figures of
1892 were sls6, sl5, 100; of 1893, Slo7, $751; :
COO, and of 1894, $3.50, ,626, 100. The figures
for 1896 have not been fully verified by Di-
rector Preston, but production of S203,.

Better Market Anticipated
For Next Week.
Gold Replenishment Already
in Sight.
Harry Havemeyer Coming Home and
Cornelius Vanderbilt Better.

It has been bear week all through
and anything which would create a scare
has been taken advantage OF. The total
number OF shares sold up to last even
ing's closing was 1,6l1, 400.
But the decline Is probably over and
better market is anticipated for next week.
Haveymeyer is coming home and that
will give sugar a boost The stock has
dropped from 108 la TO 102 "a during
the last five days.
The paralytic on Fifth avenue is better
and expects TO go back to Newport In a
couple OF weeks. That viii stop the at
tack OF the bears on the Vanderbilt
stocks which has heen fast and furious
since Tuesday; Lake Shore went from
from 80 to 80. But these and Canadian
Southern, another Vanderbilt security
are now booked for a rally.
The gold talk is more conservative
than at the beginning OF the week when
the scare over boarding was worked up
by the bears.
Within a few weeks the bankers in the
South and West would begin to call for
small currency bills TO rse in harvesting
crops. These banks hold more gold new
than usual and villas is the custom
deposit it st the Sub-Treasury in ex-
change for notes. This will tend to in
crease the gold reserve.
In addition, as soon as the cotton crop
beg ins to move-which, in some sections
OF the South, will be several weeks earlier
than usual--cotton bills will appear In
the market, which will prevent to great
extent shipment of gold.
Harry havemeyer will be in New York
on Monday and with other things equal
there will be lively times in sugar stock.
A squirt to 10S is among the probabili-
ties. Cables indicate a.wide open break
in foreign raw sugar.
The short interest in sugar today is es-
timated at 5000 shares.
Louisville & Nashville and Western I'm
ION are oversold. London Is a literal buy
er of the former stock.

Joscph's word to his friends today is

rally to points. Cornelius is-bettefy

Deputy ]. Fl. Davis OF the Fish Com
mission made very successful capture of
fishing nets and boats last Sunday morn
ing near Rio Vista. Secretary Fletcher
of the commission received a letter yes-
terday from Davis, which stated that on
Sunday morning, while the launch Hust-
Ter was steaming along the Sacramento
River, near Rio Vista, he spied two fish,
ing boats, the occupants of which made
their escape in the tules when they saw
the launch steaming toward them The
boats captured had Elliott's tags on them,
and the deputy was greatly surprised when
he discovered this fact. Last year Elliott,
who resides at Rio Vista, made special
visit to the Fish Com missioner's rooms,
in the Flood building, where ne made an
urgent request for the appoin tment of a
man named Kalber of Rio Vista as
Deputy Fish Commissioner. Elliott said

they were used by SCHUYLER to masquerade
about the ighporhood at night.
On the way to the prison Schiller gave
Stillwell a gold watch, requesting him to
send it to Miss Lenahan, to whom he said
it belongs. Only 15 cents were found in
his pocket when searched at the prison.
He said he had expected to receive money
from his father.
Schiller, when spoken to in the prison,
did not feel at all disinclined to unburden
his mind. He said he felt his position
very keenly, and if he had wronged his
friend Hughes he was prepared to suffer
the consequences.

by the Examiner as the most dirty.
puerile thing of its kind ever heard of in
partisan politics; worse than lie, because
it tells a very little truth without the
context in order to present very big lie
and deceive the public.
Mr.. Estee has sent for publication
communication explanatory OF what he
actually did say d what he meant.
Asked last night if he had anything to
say in addition to what appeared in this
letter, he said:
"Only this-that the whole tenor Of my
speech was, SO far as protection went to
show it, that in n free country we must
elevate labor; and we must elevate labor
in America, because the labore!s must be
more intelligent than in any other coun-
try, and because labor is our only source
OF wealth.
I'm my speech l led up to this subject
by saying that labor Is our only capital
| then said, The strength of nation in
peace or in war is no longer measured by
the numb Der of its soldiers. Its debt-pay ing
power is its strength, :hat is, its power to
earn, to accumulate.
"And i SAID we could have no debt-pav-
ing power except from well-protected
labor. / did follow the preceding express
sion by saying, Wealth is king in peace
and in war but ! immeo lately added
that under Harrison's administration we
had paid S236, 900, 600 OF the National debt;
that under Cleveland's we had run in debt
$262, 600 600; thus illustrating the thought
that under one administration we had
protection, we accumulated wealth, the
people were prosperous and the Nation
great, and under the other the people
were not prosperous. the Nation ran in
debt and thus was incapable OF defense in
war or of business success in peace"
Mr.. Estee then went on TO say that the
thought of the context of that garbled and
m aliclously distorted sentence must be
clear to every intelligent mind. "No
listener at my meeting" he added, "mis-
understood me, and they heartily ap-
plauded the sentiment.
IL would not change either the thought
or the expression of that speech if 1
could"
