A striking feature OF modern science,
notes the Trenton n. J. American, is
the rapidity with which the possibili-
ties offered by any new discovery are
followed up. The Roentgen rays have
been known but year and half, yet
they have taken permanent place in
the hospitals of the world vast i'm
provements have been made in appar-
atus for producing them, and it is i'm
possible to say that they will not soon
become q necessity of our daily life.
In England Roentgen Society has
been formed, with Professor S. P.
Thompson as President. Some of the
members will study the sources of the
rays, others the applications, some the
induction coils, others the tubes and
other apparatus. These systematic
efforts can hardly fail to result in a
speedy increase of the efficiency and
applications Of this epoch-making dis
cOyery.

If the United States has made such
rapid industrial strides in recent
years as to be able at the present time
to furnish locomotive engines to Rus
sia, Great Britain, Japan, Brazil and
Canada, what is to prevent this coun-
try from asserting it superiority in
other industrial lines? asks the At
lanta Constitution. For example, in
view of the almost unlimited resources
which this country possesses for ship
building, what is to hinder the United
States, in the course of time, from
successfully coping with Great Brit
ain? In response to this query, the
New York Journal of Commerce says:
"When the development of our own
country and the exploitation of those
sources of wealth which Providence
has placed us in possession Of demand
the construction of ships on scale
beyond that of any other country we
shall build the best ships for the
money that can be found anywhere.
With our vast domain the one me-
chanical appliance which more than
another we needed was the locomotive,
and we have developed That machine
till for most purposes our locomotives
are the best in the world. We have
more railroad mileage than all Europe,
and we have probably. built more loco
motives than all the rest OF the world.
It has not been q matter OF vital i'm
portance to us to develop shipbuild.
ing, and upon the sea we could not
avoid encountering the competition OF
men willing to accept lower profits and
wages than we were willing to accept.
Therefore, we have not attained that
pre- eminence in shipbuilding that We
have attained in steam and electric
railroad building and locomotive and
sleeping car building. We have de-
veloped along the line marked out fol
us by our surroundings, our politica.
needs and the best opportunities fol
profit. We may be on the point O.
adding shipbuilding for the world tt
our other accomplishments" In view
of the enormous wealth which nature
has lavished upon this country, there
is no reason why the United States
should not enjoy the same prestige IL
shipbuilding which she enjoys to-day
in other lines of industry.

Clash OF Financial Giants.

NEW YORK. Dec. IS Papers have been
filed i'll the United States circuit court in Il
suit brought by the United States Pipe line
against the affiliated companies. Conspir-
acy is charged, and damages amounting to
S65S. 46l, with interest, and SO, 900 as attor-
neys' fees, are asked. The pipe line al
leges that the conspiracy has been in exist
ence since January. 1882, and prevents any
persons or corporations other than the de-
fendants from storing and transporting oil
and conducting operations incident to that
business. The defendants in their answers
make general denial of the charges and
ultimate that the pipe line was not organ
lied for the storing and transporting of oil
as a commsn carrier.

Rabbi Charles Fleischer of the Tenn
pie Adath Israel Of this city makes II
manly protest against the attempt ON
the part of politicians to combine the
Jewish vote of Boston into an aggre-
cation which acts apart from the citi-
zeus generally, and to appeal to it as
whole for the support of any candi-
date. He pronounces this alleged
Jewish vote to be an "unmitigated
fraud" Jews, as Jews,' he says,
''neither need nor want special repre-
sentation " The real Jewish vote is
an independent vote, and can be
disposed of by no man and no body
of men. Those to seek to identi-
fly it differently, if they are Jews
themselves, are traitors to the race,
and confer insult upon its more self
respecting members. There have been
Jews elected to highly important
offices in Boston, but to the credit of
those in agreement with them i'll re
ligion it should be said that no ap-
peal on this ground was ever made
for votes in their favor. Rabbi
Fleischer pointedly says i'll this con-
nection that the Jews as body, 'are
likely to be less faithful to party than
to principle" and it is believed that
the facts in the case confirm this
complimentary estimate of them,

The Cherokee Indians have their grand
old man in the person of Isparhecher, who
has, since 1895. been their chief. He was
born 70 years ago in the old Creek nation in
Alabama. When quite young, he went west
with the Creeks. He enlisted in the federal
army in the war and has a good record.
After the war he went home, where he was
the acknowledged leader of the Loyal Creek
party. He was elected Judge of one of the
district courts of the Creek nation and held
that position until 1894 when Sam Checotah,
his enemy, was elected chief of the nation
and removed him from office, He believed
he had been uniustly dealt with, and at the
head of 500 men, he undertook to overturn
the Creek government. This was prevented
by United States soldiers. Soon after this
he was elected supreme Judge, and in 1895
was elected chief. He is married to full
blooded Greek, but they have no children.
He speaks no English at ALL
