president by the republicans, is the
leading political manager in his state.
New Jersey republicans selected him
for that Office long ago. When it was
known that John w. Griggs had been
elected governor of the state Mr..
Hobart's friends asserted the astute
New Jersey politician was the one
man to name for the vice-presidency.
Mr.. Hobart is the New Jersey member
of the republican national committee
and has demonstrated beyond contro-
versy his splendid capacity for politics.
He long ago won his spurs among the
national leaders of the republican party
for his brains and political acumen. 1t
was he who originated the idea Of run
ming Griggs for governor and carried
his idea through with brilliant success.
Three weeks before that election he
predicted: I'VE shall win by 10000 or
nothing" Even the most sanguine Of
his friends laughed at him, but when
the victory was won ne was over
whelmed with congratulations, and his
boom for the vice-presidency was
launched.

Ninevah was Is miles long, wide

against the Jews that they have no In
clination for agriculture or manual
labor. This Is an error which II con-
tradicted not only by modern exam
pies. Eut by history. The Jews. as long
as they were politically independent,
cared for their fields. They drove their
herds and were handicraftsmen. My
own observations and those Of others
have proved that 1t is quite possible to
reawaken in the race this capacity and
love for agriculture. The poor Jew.
who until now has been hated as an
outcast, will win for himself peace and
independence. love for the ground he
tills and for freedom. and he will be-
come patriotic citizen Of his new
home. Some years ago several hun
dred Jewish families were exiled from
Russia to the Argentine. In spite OF
untold suffering, in spite of the great
est hindrances which they encountered.
they succeeded in taking root in their
new homes. These same families
which, a few years ago, bending under
heavy burdens. appeared to be only
wandering tradespeople in Russia. have
now become thrifty farmers, who. with
pillow and hoe. know how to farm as
well as If they had never done any
thing else. The knowledge Of this
guides me in my work and I am now
setting out with all my strength to
accomplish it. This is, in few words.

thropic work-the motive that lies at

A curious judgment was pronounced
the other day by judge in court Of
law at Volisso, in the island SciO. An
action for damages was brought by two
persons against the local railway COM
pany for losses sustained by a collision.
It appeared that a man had lost an
arm and a young woman had lost her
husband. The judge. Greek, assessed
the damages thus: He gave 5000
piasters to the man for the loss Of
his arm, and 1000 to the woman for the
loss TO her husband. At this there
were loud murmurs, whereup0n the
Judge gave his reasons in these terms:
my dear people. my verdict must re-
main, for you will see it is a just one.
Poor Nikalo has lost his arm, and
nothing on earth can restore that price,
less limb. But yOu"-turning to the
young woman-"you are still young
and pretty. You have now some money:
you will easily find another husband
who possibly may be as good-perhaps.
better than-yOur dead lord. That Is
my verdict, my people, and so it must
go forth" So saying the judge left
the hall. The people cheered him and
congratulated themselves on having

Few, scholars even, are aware of the
great changes through which the Eng

centuries. Following are specimens of
the Lords prayer, as used at various
periods in English history:

BARON HIRSCH.

as he believed that they suffered more
injustice and persecution than any
other race or nationality. Wherever
there was any movement for the bene-
fit of his people, he was found playing
a leading part.
Only one child, son. was born to
him, and he died some years ago. He
had no use for his wealth except as a
means of dong good. He once said Of
his charitable methods:
II am DESTROYS of doing something
with my wealth to make the lot of the
miserable easier. If one could take his
money when he went, he might not care
to dispose of it in this way. But it
seems much better to me to look on its
beneficial distribution myself than to
leave it to be disposed Of by requests.
That seems like taking it from your
heirs. And have no family. 1 had a
son, but he died. have two adopted
sons, but they need no help. So there
are only my wife and myself"
The systematic persecution of its
Jewish subjects by the Russian gov
eminent and the efforts of Baron
Hirsch to aid his coreligionists brought
him worldwide note as a philanthro-
pist. He contributed enormous sums
to help suffering Hebrews OCT of Rus
STA and to start them in more tolerant
countries. Some years ago Baron
Hirsch contributed to an American
magazine an article in relation to this
subject, in which he said. among other
things:

The Man In BuiuwasS.

Captain John Sanctuary Nicholson
is the officer now in command of the
British forces at Buluwayo. the city in
Matabeleland that is beleagured by
the rebels. He is waiting for the ar
rival of Sir Richard Martin, the new
deputy high commissioner. Captain
Nicholson joined the Seventh Hussars
twelve years ago, and attained the
rank of captain in 1891. When General
GOodenough was the commander at the
cape he appointed Nicholson successor
to Col. H. C. o. Plummer. the first COM
missioner sent to take charge of the
forces of the Chartered company. The
regiment in which Nicholson is an Off

Under Balls Of Fire.

One of the most remarkable electrical
storms at sea, which probably seemed
intensified by reason of the fact that a
through it, was experienced by the
British steamship Mercedes. which ar
rived at Philadelphia recently from
Bilbao, says the Philadelphia Record.
On the grand banks of Newfoundland
during the nights of Dec. 8 and 4 the
ocean appeared like mighty mass Of
flames or an endless stretch of prairie
fires. Balls of electric fire Kissed and
exploded in all directions and darted
among the vessels masts and rigging.
The Mercedes escape from going
down on Dec. seemed little short OF
a miracle. She was struck by south
southwest gale. which was accom-
panied by seas rolling fearfully high.
During the height of the storm huge
deck derrick, weighing many tons. was
torn loose from its fastenings and
swept overheard, leaving hole in the
vessels deck through which the water
ran into the cargo. In its course it car
ried away the main topmast, which was
also of iron; part of the flying bridge.
the after winch and part of the deck
fittings. The decks were flooded with
tons of water, the ship rolled at an
angle of 70 degrees, and the sea broke
in all directions, filling the cabin and
the officers quarters.
Soon afterward the storm partially
subsidized. when the electrical fire ap-
peared in all directions. It hung in big
balls for two nights from the masts and
fore and aft stays and practically
turned night into day. AS the big fire
balls came together they would burst
with loud report upon the vessel and
disappear. Under this light at night
such temporary repairs were made as
were deemed necessary to reach port.
Capt. TAFT of the Mercedes stated that
the passage was one of the most trying
experiences Of his life. The rolling and
lurchtng of the vessel in the storm and
the fury of the gales we're terrific in
the vicinity Of Is degrees longitude.
Only the heroic work Of the officers and
crew saved the vessel, as all the ship
ping men about the maritime exchange
agreed.

Of nobility by the King of Bavaria for

rice Hirsch was educated in the schools
Of his native city and Brussels. But
his talents were commercial, rather
than scholastic. and at the age of II
he engaged in business. His abilities
In this direction soon became evident.
His moderate patrimony was largely
increased and marriage with Nile.
Bischopheim, the daughter of a Belgian
senator. greatly improved his social
and personal influence.
He saw very early the opportunity
for an enterprising capitalist to make
millions by covering Eastern Europe
with network of railways. In 1866
the commercial collapse of a great
Belgian financier, which shook the
finacial world of Belgium to its founda-
tons. gave Baron Hirsch his great op-
portunity. He secured the most valu-
able of the assets, including the Turk
ish railways. He became the contrac-
tor of all the great lines connecting
Central and Eastern Europe. Of which
that from Buda-Pesth to Varna is the
principal. 1t required diplomatic tact
of a high order to overcome the rival
ries and prejudices of the little Balkan
states. Baron Hisch harmonized all
differences and overcame all obstacles
No man who has acquired vast riches
has ever used them to better purposes
than Baron Hirsch. His charities in
Germany and Austria were innumer-
able. and tie poor of other countries
were by no means neglected. His
scheme for transplanting his unfortu-
nate Russian coreligionists to South
America attracted great attention.
Thousands of colonists were sent to
the Argentine Republic at his expense
and enabled to establish agricultural
settlements. He offered $4,000, 900 to
Russian schools, provided they should
be open to all. irrespective of race or
religion, but the Car rejected the
offer.
Baron Hirsch was a Hebrew of the
Hebrews, but he thoroughly believed
in religious federation. The priests of
his Austrian village were often seen at
his table. While his purse was open
to all good causes, the men and women
Of his own race were always preferred,
