should be chosen Senator next month
it would cost the state $35, 100000 to
elect successor to him in the House
of Representatives. That fact will
be used as an argument against his
election on account of the general
poverty of the State.

Madame Modjeska. the famous 40
tress, who is known in private life as
Helena Modjeska Bozenta. has a bean
tiful mountain ranch in Orange county
in southern California, and finds ber
greatest delight In the occupations of
a rural home. She spends every nos
sible day OF her long summer vacations
at her ranch. Each morning through
out the summer Madame Modieska goes
about her ranch She rises early and
spends an hour or two before break
fast among the animals and chickens
Visitors at the ranch have MANY times
known her to spend a whole morning
caring for sick COW or an injured
horse. She frequently milks a COW

pleasure OF the actress is in her chicken

and have found madame and her hus-
band sitting out in their hen-yard
watching their flocks and feeding the
hens from the hand. She gathers tho
eggs from the nest daily. mixes mealv

The Bond Question.

After reading somewhat hurriedly
and then more carefully. City Attorney
McHugh's communication to the cOun-
Gil regarding the city's bonds, We came
to the conclusion that probably or pos
sibly, the aldermen, upon whom de-
wolves the duty of acting upon the mat
ter, are bright enough to follow out the
conditions. remedies and future plans
outlined in MIR. McHugh's opinion, and
act for the best interests of all the peO-
pie, but if called upon to decide the
matter ourselves, we would sum
the matter up by recognizing that an
immense indebtedness confronted us {;
that we have received the money,
whether under the head Of special, gen.
eral or special-general bonds; that those
due should be paid. or the interest on
them, and if satisfactory arrangements
can be made an extension of time Sc
cured. We see but little use in talking
SO long about the matter, if we have the
money, or if it is in sight, let us arrange
the bond question at once; the interest
is accommodating right along on the i'm
mense amount Of money, and we do
not want to drag the question along for
a political issue the coming spring. it
PLAYED quite part in the last election
and should be settled now. AS yet we
have not met any person who feels pre-
pared to discuss the city attorneys
opinion or advance contrary theories.
it really seems to be a much more SER
ious matter to know how to get rid of
the bonds than it was to get them. The
thing went through with a rush, paving,
sewerage, water, etc, were ordered for
miles around our city, and in spite Of
the warming cry of THE TINES eight or
ten years ago, the expenses were added
to until now, just as we predicted, the
question which is before us for settle
ment has arisen. We must pay these
obligations in some way.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

urine and let it stand twenty -four hours
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys, When
urine stains linen it is evidence Of kid

urinate or pain in the back, is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.

persistency in having personal inter-

son asserts that they advance their
cause but little II at all. But the feel
ms that something is or may be gained
by personal interview prevails. and
for the first year and a half of an adj
ministration the President spends from
four to six hours Of each day talking
about things he will not have to act
upon for months, while the things that
ought to be done presently are hurt
fully postponed.
If the President could make I'D and
publish an appointment docket and no.
tify all persons having anything to saw

saving of time all around and a great

and motions for a rehearng and for a

Judge Vinje's Decision.

Whether through fear of contempt OF
the mayor or the court, our fearless
and incorruptible" daily molders of pub
lie opinion have nothing to say about
the decision rendered by Judge NlnJe
in Dill vs.. Starkweather in the Circuit
court, on Thursday. Latin grammar
and Greek classics would seem to con-
Germ them more than our clty's present
or future welfare.
We never could see that any good
would come out of this litigation, while
We frankly admitted that the commits
sion bill appeared to us to have been
rushed through the legislature with
scarcely less desire to tie Mayor Stark
weatner's hands than for the general
good. AT the same time we believed
that the legislature had the power to
pass such a law, and that whether it was
constitutional or not it would have been
the part of wisdom for the mayor to
have Loyalty obeyed its provisions. He
would have been the gamer in the long
run whereas now he is the loser, and
will be the loser. 1t was, Of course,
very natural that he should desire to
reward his friends, but he did not fore
see, nor did his friends fpresee, the
action of the legislature, and if he was
not able to reward his friends it was no
1ault Of his
Our advice to the mayor is to let the
matter drop, and act within the law
while it remains in force. The people
are heartily sick of this municipal and
lie gal wrangle.
Let Us have peace.

Recent Discoveries.

From time to time, in recent months,
have come to the world, through the
columns of the religious and of the secu-
lar press, hints of important and far
reaching discoveries of manuscripts
bearing directly or indirectly on the
Old Testament. These manuscripts,
which had found their way into private
and public Libraries in England and
else " here came from a common source.
The source was what has been called a
"sacred lumber-room"-th Genizah
attached to the so-called Synagogue of
Ezra the Scribe, at Cairo, Egypt. The
Genizah is the receptacle for manu-
scripts and writings of the most varied
character, that have, for any reason,
been discarded and vet, from the sacred
nature of their form Of contents, must
not be DESTROYED. 1t is easy to imagine
what priceless treasures mighte xist in a
waste-basket Of this sort, the contents
Of which have been accommodating I'M
molested for century upon century. 1t
was to to the Genizah at Cairo that Mr..
Solomon Schechter. Reader in Rabbinic
at Cambridge University, England. made
a journey last December. Going with
the approval of the authorities of the
university, and warmly received by the
Grand Rabbin of Cairo, the rabbi of the
synagogue, and Mr.. Ioussef NJ. Cattuni,
the president of the Jewish community,
Mr.. Schechter was given carte blanche
to take from the old storehousc what
and as much as he liked. The story of
his hunt, his difficulties. his success,
and brief glimpse at the varied
contents of such grave of books,
is told by Mr.. Schechter himself in an
article written for the Sunday School
Times of July "a. Mr.. Schechter ranks
among the foremost living Hebraists
and Rabbinical scholars. Although
foreign born, he uses the English tongue
with rare felicity, nor has the exactness
of science dried out the juices Of a de-
lIghtful literary style. His article in
The Sunday School Times carries the
reader on in spite of himself, and the
touches Of dry humor aud naive frank
ness are Irresistible. lone can hardly

GeniZah," writes Mr.. Schechter. cit
is the battlefield Of books; battle in
which the literary productions of many
centuries had their share, the disjecta
membra Of which are now strewn over
it's area. Some Of the belligerents have
derished, and were literally ground to
dust in the terrible struggle for space,
whilst others are squeezed into big
unshapely Jumps. &. In their present
condition these Jumps sometimes afford
curiously suggestive combination; as.
for instance. when you find a piece of
some rationalistic work, in which the
very existence of either angel or devil
is denied, clinging for its very life to an
amulet In which these very things
(mostly the latter, are bound over to
be on their good behaviour. and not
to Interfere with Miss Yair's love to
somebody" Since the article was re-
celved, the author posted this later bit
of news to the editor, indicative Of the
importance of his disclosures. MY
hopes are, thank God. fulfilled, having
found to-day, among the Genizah frag-
ments, fresh fragment OF the original
Hebrew of Ecclesiasticus Sunday
School Times.

the strange rules of etiquette which

They could never appear IN puDlc

his majesty Henry VII. of England had
his royal bed made. 1t is taken from
an old manuscript. and 1t is certainly
amusing: The curtains must be
drawn and a gentleman usher must
hold the curtains together; then must
two squires of the body stand at the
beds head and two yeomen OF the

the spot destined for the pillows, and
a large rug OF ermine Tas placed over
the bed and the bedclothes were
brought up to the edge Of the pillow
and neatly turned down. Finally "a
yeoman was required to beat the pill

the sensible suggestion that instead of
giving the names of our great admirals
to our diminutive war craft. the tor
pedo boats. the latter should bear the
names Of Indian chiefs or tribes that
have achieved fame in our national
history. During the civil war this was
the custom. but the names have disap.
