ready settled there by creating opportuni-
ties for work The schnorrerei in Pales-
tine certainly reflect no honor on u.s. The
schnorrers should be urged to live by labor
instead of by writing begging letters and
appealing to philanthropists.
DIR. Herzl expects that Turkey will be
much benefited by the presence of the
Jews in Palestine. Ho thinks that the
shattered finances of the sultan would be
restored through the commercial energy
of his race. He expects tlat u railrOad
would he constructed 10 connect with the
Russian transsibrrian Nystom, which
would connect Palestine with the far
nortn and the farthcst cast There is al
ready "a project for railway from the
Mediterranean to the Persian gulf, and,
with the Jewish nation established, he
thinks that Jewish capitalists would soon
build it.
This rose colored dream is almost as
brilliant as was the, speculative article
published over II year ago in The Review
of Reviews. At that time 1t was expected
that the end Of the Turkish empire was
not far off, and the Zionists were antici-
pating chance for the Jews to secure
Palestine at their own figure. The article
described the founding of the Jewish ma
ton and the coronation of Lord Rosebery,
who is the son-in law of Hebrew, as king
of the Jews. But the anticipated break up
of Turkey did not take place. "The sick
man" has proved himself to be a most
lively invalid, and now the jews instead
of waiting for his demise, are pleased to
gain his favor and buy his land.
But while DIR. Herzl may be successful
in forming a syndicate of wealthy Jews to
purchase Palestine it is very evident that
he is going to have some difficulty in per-
suading the scattered nation to return
to its ancient land. Most Jews do not
want to be restored" at all. At recent
meeting held in New York to elect dele,
| gates to the coming Jewish convention in
Munich the expressed sentiment was
against the formation of any Jewish state,
although the gathering was issued by ad
vocates of Zionism who had programme
of their own all prepared The only speak
or who favored the project was q promi
nent rabbi who asked support for the es
tablishment Of Jewish state, not on ac
count of the Jews in America, but in be
half of those In other countries.
DIR. Herzl met with the same opposition
In London. There he frankly admitted
that the departure Of the Jews from nc
country would be opposed. "They would
be glad to see us CO." he said. But many
of the English Jews informed him that
they would not be glad to go. Still, they
were willing that Jews Of other countries
should colonize Palestine.
Probably the majority Of the 1000, 00(
Jews in Russia would express the sam'
sentiment, for although they have beer
debarred from many rights there they still
seem loath to escape from persecution ant
can only be driven out by the oonflsoatior
of their property. Yet DR.. Herzl Is no
discouraged and confidently expects to se'
the Jewish nation 70 esta blished.

and Governor Tanner. There is talk Of
concluding the parade with an exhibi-
ton Of fancy horsemanship and eques-
trian gymnastics in the ground Of the
Washington Park club, with perhaps a
banquet in the evening. The officers
and committees Of the association are
hard at work on the programme and are
very enthusiastic about the prospects of
a large turnout. They estimate that at
least /, 500 riders will be in line.
In the meantime Chicagoans, at least
such as ride on horseback, are exoitedly
discussing the question of what is good
form in the attire of a male equestrian.
Chicago has suddenly realized that her
horseback riders are not always appro-
priately attred. Some of them even
have the audacity to appear mounted in
the park wearing froCb coats. Chicago
draws the line at frOCk coats on horse
back.
But this by no means disposes of the
question. To decide that tails should
accompany the coat of the equestrian
and leave him to incase his lower limbs
as suits his fancy leaves too wide lat
itude. Chicago has not yet reached the
point where it is willing to accept the de
rigueur English breeChes and leggings,
the breeChes which are built in bloom
erlike amplitude at the hips and taper
to skin tightness at tlc knee. New
Workers adopted this dress some two or
three horse shows back, but Chicago
still looks at them askanCe. Some Chi
cagoans wear riding boots, others long
trousers and leggings, while others are
content with plain trousers strapped
down.
Then there is the matter Of saddles to
be considered. Texas and Mcclellan
saddles are acknowledged to be very
comfortable, but the Chicago horsemen
who pretend TO know say that they are
not just the think for park use. Saddle
blankets are frowned upon also, and
those riders who have been congratu-
lating themselves upon the possession
Of fancy white brides will be panied to
learn that they smack too much Of the
cricus ring to be approved by men who
know what is what.
OF course the equestrians who belong
to military bodies and wear the pre-
scribed uniforms are not troubled by
these considerations of form, but the
riding clubs as a rule have adopted no
distinctive costumes, and their various
members have been accustomed to ap-
pear in all sorts of heterogeneous and oc-
casionally fantastic apparel. The parade
will doubtless prove an object lesson to
all riders. and it would not be surpris-
ing IL by another year the Chicago
equestrians should adopt the English
costume complete, even down to the
horn handled riding crop with the raw
hide loop in the end for unlatching sup.

AN EQUESTRIAN DAY.
MOVEMENT IN CHICAGO FOR A RE-
NAlssANcE OF HORSEBACK RIDING.

On June II Gay Csvalcsde VIII Parade
the Parks and Boulevards- Expected
That 1900 Riders Will Participate.
Equestrian Day an Annual Afair.
Chicago has a new holiday 1t is called
Equestrian day, and this year comes ON
June IA. 1t is just what it appears to
be--a day for oquostrians. Its chief fea.
ture will be parade of equestrians, and
it is expected that every horseman and
horsewoman in the city will participate.
There is no section of the country where
holiday is celebrated in exactly this
manner, although New England's now
abandoned fast day used to be observed,
half dozen years ago, by an unusual
Indulgence in horseback riding.
The New England equestrians did
their riding in unorganized squads and
enjoyed themselves by cantering up and
down the streets at the best speed to
which their animals could be urged.
This brought fast day into disrepute,
and its abolishment spoiled their fun.
Chicago's Equestrian day, however, will
be observed according to fixed pro-
gramme arranged by well organized
association which goes by the name Of
the Equestrian Day association 1t was
formed a little more than year ago,
and much of the credit for its existence
is given to Major Edwin l.. Brand of
the Hussar squadron.
The first parade was held last June,
and it was something Of failure be-
cause Of an unexpected rain storm
which drenched the riders. Better
weather conditions are hoped for this
year. The association is composed of l3
divisions. Eight of these consist of pri-
vate riding clubs, and the other are
mounted military organizations. There
are the Chicago, the Centaur, the Re-
we're, the Union Stockyards, the Boule-
ward, the Garfield, the Lincoln Park
and the GCrmania Roit riding clubs.
Then there are Troops a and B of the
Hussar squadron, Troops 4 and b of the
Illinois national guard and the Chicago
Light cavalry.
Each of these bodies elects represent
atives as members Of the Equestrian
Day association, and unattached riders
may become members if elected by the
board of trustees. The main object of
the organization is to foster the sport
and pave the way for the complete re-
naissanCe of horseback riding.
This year the parade will probably
start from the Auditorium and will
conclude in one of the South Side parks.
1t will be reviewed by Mayor Harrison

he emphasizes his points with terrific
stamps which make the dust fly and
hold his hearers spellbound.
Mr.. McNeill made his first appear
ance in Edinburgh, where great crowds
thronged to hear him. He was called
the Scottish Spurgeon and after bril-
liant season received call from the
Regent Square Presbyterian church,
London, whose pulpit has been held by
many famous pastors. He remained
there until five years ago, when his
wife died. Then he resigned his pas
torate and started out on an evangelical
tour Of the world.
He is a man of powerful personal
magneti,m and generally arouses his
audiences to high pitch Of religious
fervor. just before coming 10 the
United States ON his present visit he
held series Of revival meetings In Liv-
erpool which stirred that city as it had
not been stirred since the visit of Moody
and Sankey 20 years ago Mr., McNeill
will probably visit other large cities in
the country before he leaves.

an enviable reputation as an educator.
Some 80 years ago he left his native New
Hampshire village and went to Ann Arbor
to complete his education. He was gradu-
ated with honors in 1871 and after acting
as principal of the schools of Owosso,
Mich, for year he was called back by his
alma mater to take position as instructor
in history.
For four years he remained at the uni
versity in this capacity, at the same time
studying law. After being admitted to the
bar he went to Mount Clemens and began
to practice his profession. He was made
city counselor and in 1881 was appointed
by the supreme court as one of the board
Of editors to annotate the court reports.
About this time the university offered him
the Jay professorship of law, and he re-
turned to Ann Arbor for period of three
years, during which he continued his law
practice.
In 1887 Mr. Hutchins resigned his pro-
fessorship to become secretary Of the law
school of Cornell university. He was prao-
tically dean of the school, and during the
eight years which he spent at Cornell he
built up the attendance from Do to nearly
300. In 1894 the University Of Michigan
wanted man to fill the position of head
of the law school and the next year Pro-
fessor Hutchins went back to Ann Arbor
as dean. His work was to build up the
Law department The three years law
course was just being started and the
brain Of an organizer was needed. Dean
Hutchins filled all the requirements and
applied all his energy to the work.
AS acting president Dean Hutohins will
continue to conduct the law department,
which he has brought into the first rank.
Although large addition was made to
the law building only FIVE years ago, the
three big classes which now attend the
lectures more than I'LL the structure, and
further additions will have to be made,
The credit for this success Is due largely to
the administrative skill of the new acting
president.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 20.-The story
sent out from Larned, Kan, to the
effect that the Santa Fe station at
Rozel, on the Larned-Jetmore branch
OF that road had been swallowed by
the earth last night is according to the
statement Of the Santa Fe officials in
this city wholly without foundation.
There has been no depot building
at Rozel for some time, the building
having been moved to another point
and no agent was ever stationed at
that point. They say the regular
train on that branch came through as
usual this morning, indicating that
the roadbed was all right.
A special from Larned Kan, says:
The excitement over the disappearance
OF Rozel increases as the news OF the
remarkable phenomenon spreads.
Hundreds Of people visited the scene
yesterday. Many theories are ad-
vanced TO account for the occurrence.
Some contend that the earth dropped
into an immense cave; others that it
was caused by the underhow of the
Arkansas river, which is now, for the
first time for more than a year, bank
full at this point, and threatens all
inundation Of the low lands. But the
most plausible theory is that advanced
yesterday that this entire section of
Kansas is underAowed by an immense
river or inland sea.

NEwBERN, Va, Nov. 90. Col. J. L.
Jordan, rich farmer, hired two men
to watch his storehouse, which was be-
ing regularly robbed, and one recent
midnight they ordered man to halt
who had just taken a bag of wheat and
some apples, but he refused, and they
shot him dead. The corpse appeared
to be that of negro, but the black was
washed from the face and it then ap-
peared that the dead man was John M.
Teagler, the postmaster. The commu-
nifty was shocked, because Teagler had
stood exceedingly we'll. He had held
the post Office under Harrison and Nc.
Kinley had reappointed him. In his
room were found wigs, false boards
and many costumes as well as bur-
glars tools, about a hundred KEYS and
dynamite.
