Judge Van Wyck lives at No. 1876 East
Forty-sixth street. He owns the house,
which is a conventional four-story brown
stone He rents the house to a sbinster
relative, and from her he rents the entire
second floor. Here he maintains solemn
bachelor quarters, which are fitted up coz
lily, but far from luxuriousy.
His habits are simple. He rises ct and
breakfasts in the house. Then ne takes a
short spin on his bicycle, but finishes it in
time to be at court in the City Hall by TO-
He lunches between / and 2:30 in the base

In the evening he is particular to appear in

means by which a man puts to the best
use the driving power of his legs. 1t occu-
pies nearly the same relation as the shoe.
Foot covering enables the man to walk bet
ter, the bicycle goes a, little further and
adds the feature of speed. If it is right to
tax the bicycle it is equally right to tax

that the rider of the wheel uses the power
of his legs with such energy as to i'm
peril the safety of the man who wears
shoes and walks, and that he ought to pay
something for the privilege of doing so.
Under certain circumstances the human leg

A Favored Colony of Jews.

W dSIIIIIBl UI DptCIdI.
The alleged discovery of letter of Pontius
Plate to the Emperor Tiberius in the library
of the Vatican reminds me that there is q
colony of Jews in Toledo Spain, who were
allowed to remain in that country when the
remainder of their race were expelled by
Ferdinand and Isabella because they showed
satisfactory evidence that they were de-
scended from priest of the court of Gaia
phaS, who alone of the sanhedrim of priests
and elders protested against the cruciixion
of the Savior. 1t is said that the evidence
upon which they were exempted from the
edict of expulsion was accepted by the
hierarchy at Rome genuine and truthful.
1t is supposed to be now on file among the
archives of the Vatican. This little colony
of Jews has grown and prospered until now
it is one of the wealthiest and most inflA-
entail communities on the Spanish penn-
sular. Several of the members in times past
have achieved high rank and reputation UNI

Rev. Lyman Abbott pastor of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn. has announced that he
will soon begin a series of Sunday evening
lectures on the life and epistles of Paul. He
explains that the lectures will differ from
those of last winter on the Old Testament
in that the latter showed the conclusions
of modern scholars upon the subject, while
these will attempt an Investigation and in
depreciation of Paul tI1e adds: THE mean
ing of Paul appears to me to have been
obscured rather than illumined by much
which theologians and commentators have
written concerning his epistles. They have
been interpreted in the light of medieval
or modern theological controversies; they
should have been interpreted in the light
of the paganism and the Judaism of the
first century. Paul has been regarded as
theologian; he was an evangelist;
logician; he was an intuitionalist; as a phil
osopher; he was still more a poet. His tenn
permanent more nearly resembles that of
Robert Browning than that of John Calvin;
for Browning is the philosopher among
poets; Paul is the poet among philosophers"
1t is altogether probable that Mr.. Abbott
will present entertaining. and original views
in these discourses; and it is also inevitable
that, like his former lectures, they will
arouse his more orthodox brethren to con-
troversy. AS a result the public will have
opportunity to learn a good many things
about Paul that it never knew before

it has been two years and half since he

The decision of United States Judge Cross
cup holding the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton Company liable for damages to the re-
public of France and French citizens for
fire loss on their exhibits at the worlds fair
of 1893 should be the end of the matter. 1t
would have been better for all concerned
and forNthe national reputation if the expo
sition company had paid the claim without
a lawsuit. Perhaps there was technical
ground for contesting it, as the exposition
company's lease of the grounds expired on
Jan. l. 1894, and the fire which did the dam
age occurred Jan. s. but the company should
have waived that point. Something was
due to international courtesy The French
exhibitors, and especially the government
had accepted the invitation of the United
States government and placed or exhibition
some articles of unique character and
value. They had a right to suppose that
these articles would be protected against
damage from any cause whatever until they
were removed from the exposition grounds
They had come here on the invitation of
the United States government, and if the
exposition company's lease had expired the
United States government had not The
court found that the company did not afford
such protection as it was bound to, and
that the loss could and should have been
prevented. In mis- opinion Judge Grosscup
said:
Whether the government, as a nation,
inaugurated and controlled the exposition,
the local corporation being merely its arm
to carry out the enterprise or whether the
LEGAL corporation was an Independent entity,
accepting aid from and coworking with the
government and it's commissions, is, in its
bearing upon the question under discus
sion, a matter of Indifference. In either
view the local corporation was under direct
obligation to safely house the exhibits dur
ing the period of the exposition and for
such time thereafter as was reasonably re-
quired for their removal Its failure to per-
form this duty in the respect pointed out
creates direct legal liability to the exhib-
tiers injured. On the whole case there must
be a finding for the plaintiffs.
This is international justice. The exposi-
ton company would have made a better
record by paying the claim without suit.
They do these things better in France.
