The HEBREW CHAUfAUQUA
Rabbi Calisch, of Richmond. Dis
courses of Joseph.
Rev. DIR. kohler Takes Another
View, While Hon. Simon Wolf
Thinks Debate Not Improper.

Atlantic City, July 2s.-The Hebrew
National Chautauqua opened its second
days session at the Beth-Israel Synagogue
yesterday, with Chancellor Berkowitz pre-
siding. The heavy rain which fell ad but
a slight effect upon the attendance.
The morning session was opened by Rabbi
Edward II. Caliscil, OF Richmond, Va, who
was assigned the Epic of Joseph" and
who proved an interesting spea ker, fluently
! bringing out his main points.
In his discourse the Rabbi gave a correct
delineatiOn OF Joseph's life, and drew
therefTom favorable picture of Judaism,
de outlined Joseph being delegated on
earth by God to represent the Hebrews
anongths people, andfollowed him through
his life of vicissitudes.
As the speaker took his seat amid D.
paUse, Rev DIR. Kohler, of New York, arose
and took exceptions to the manner in
which Rabbi Calisch occupied the best part
Of the time allotted to him in reading the
story OF Joseph in the BiMe. DR. Kohier
held that future spea kers should be warned
about quoting extensively from the book,
especially the story of Joseph, as be be-
lieyed that every man, woman aud child in
the Hebrew Church knew the epic of
Joseph thoroughly. The doctor believed
that it should again be made the subject OF
the Chauta uqua, for the purpose OF going
into the real essence of the epic OF Joseph.
that ii be treated from a Biblical and lit
erary standpoint more fully
In answering for Rev. DR.. Calisch, Pre-
siding Elder BerkowitZ took occasion
to remark that there may be a differ
ence OF opinion as TO the proper way
in which TO present the epic. He
thought the one just concluded by Mr.
Calisch was intelhgentiy presented He
said there Is nothing so perfect i'm its lit
erary construction as the story OF Joseph.
and IL viii always bear repetition. ssIt
is the picture OF their lives. The ele-
ments show Just that which we, as He
brews, want to establish"
Simon Wolf, Of Washington, said he saw
no trapropriety whatever from having the
subject debated from many standpoints
and by different speakers.
The next speaker was Rev. DR. NJ.
Fl. Hnrris. OF New York. His subject was

GEO. LAWS FAMOUS YACHT
Twenty-Five Years Ago She Carried
the Gayest Gothamites.
Son and Heir of a Wealthy New
Yorker, He Spent Money Like
Water for All ExtravagaDces.

New York, July 2S.-The steam yach
Alga, formerly known as the Veto, ha
been sold at auction at the Real Estate Ex
change for 81 1900. The yacht was thu
| property of George Law, deceased. 1T
original cost was $4,000, and improve
nents cost between 81 3, 900 and 100000
The purchasers are Clarence NJ. Bush.
| State printer, of Harrisburg, Pa, and
Charles l.. Seabury, of this city.
| The Alga s no ordinary yacht. AS the
Veto she was famous high roller when
Law owned her. For years she was one
of the best known vessels afloat in East
ern waters. She cruised with men on board
who were received nowhere but by George
Law, men whose names were household
words that were never spoken openly, men
whom others knew, but denied knowing.
To tell the history OF the yacht is to
tell the history of gay New York twenty
five or thirty years ago. Ii Is to tell or
the days when George Law, Ernest
Staples, Fred May and George Pollock
were the idols OF the night life in the
town; OF the days when Law went about
the city, spending money like water,
turning night into day, always followed
by sycophantic crowd
The yacht is called the Alga now be-
cause her former owner bade good dby 10
old associations, welded Miss Alga Smith,
and radically changed his own life.
George Law belonged TO the type OF New
Workers which is almost extinct. He was
the son of George Law, who owned the
Eighth and Ninth avenue surface car
lines. The young man was educated at
Columbia College. His father put him to
work on the Ninth avenue car line as soon
as he graduated. Young Law was ena-
ployed first as car driver.
One exploit of those days viii show the
manner of youth he was. One wet night
a friend jumped on the car and suggested
that Law leave his car for minute while
they go and get drink. Law said it was
not necessary; that he would drive to a
saloon half way between Eighth and Ninth
avenues, on Fifty-first street.
He pulled the car off the track and drove
it over the oobblestohes to the place in
question. There he invited all the pas
sengers to alight and drink with him.
After that he hitched the horses to the
other end OF the car and drove hack to
Ninth avenue.
Another exploit earned him world wide
fame. At Saratoga, In $50, he bought
over $50 900 worth of diamonds for a gang
of sporting men who were going about
with him. On another occe sion he fought
a $40, 900 diamond necklace for a woman
who happened to admire it. He sent the
Jewel to her rooms at Saratoga and left
the place the next day. He never 50 W the
woman again.

Among the many questions asked oi

San Francisco to Klondike, 10y way ot

All this game indicates that the land is

One man returning from the mines told
me this morning that he always had TO keep
the bacon up on high pole and had to
grease the pole, for the bears were so bad
that they would tear the cabin down and

in the Idaho mines about a dozen men in
Baihoon's Gulch took out more gold and

Klondike.
The Klondike has given up only $4,000

yielded more than S1O0 900. 600 from 1869

AN OBNOXIOUS CLAUSE.
Tariff Bill VIII Cause Annoyance
to Tourists From Europe.

New York. July 2s.-The arrival Of the
steamship Majestic, due today from Liver
pool, viii mark the putting into oper-
alton OF the clause in the new tariff that
limits to 500 the value of personal effects
that traveller may purchase abroad and
bring into this country free of duty. The
passengers on the Majestic are likely to
be treated to something of a surprise, and
some of them may find the new law the
cause of annoying delay.
From now On the custom house authori-
ties will apply the law to the thousands
OF incoming passengers on the trans
Atlantic lines, The inspectors will be
instructed to explain to each passenger
that such a law has gone into effect and
to ask whether each has purchased more
than 500 worth Of personal effects
abroad Their goods will be examined
and an appraisement made on the dock,
and the passengers will be allowed tn
take their property away after paying
the duties that may be fixed upon it.
