In a Lcadon publication, The Year
Book for Jews" there are such Stats
tics as can be obtained Of the Jewish
population in all the countries Of the
earth. The compiler of the statistics,
Mr.. Jossoh Jacobs, in summing up his
figures, snakes it appear that there are
ROW about II, oO0. 900 Jews in the world.
more than half OF whom are residents
of the Russian empire and subjects OF
the car. There can be nothing more
than an estimate of the number of
Jews in the United States at this time
1t has been greatly increased in recent
years by immigration from Europe, and
is now certainly beyond 1000. 900. As
many as $4,000 Russian and Polish
Jews have come to the United States
in the last fifteen years. The great ma
jority of them are residents of the
large cities Of the country. among
which New York is the Jewish favor
lite. It Is probable that the next CEN
sus Of the United States will contain
trustworthy statistics upon the sub
ject.

WIDOWS NOT AVAILABLE.

Marrying One Meant Punishment In
the Old Times.
He had to be bold man who married
a widow, for few rude jokes and a
Gathering serenade were not the only
puaishments awarded him. says Lip
pincott's. He was deprived of benefit
of clergy. Benefit of clergy was the
privilege claimed by priests to be tried
befcre the ecclesiastical courts. in
which offenders were nearly always
sure of acQuittal Laymen also en-
joyed the privilege if they possessed
the extremely small amount Of knowl-
edge requisite for ordination. Read
and a man under sentence Of death
who could read a psalm might plead
his clergy and escape the penalty Of
having his height shortened by a
head" In the ages when the custom
originated learning was too rare and
precious to be destroyed. A man
might be a murderer. but if he were
the only man in town who could read
it was not expedient to kill him. By
the abuse of this privilege. however, it
came to be that a man in England
could commit murder. rapine or theft
and be absolved from punishment by
glibly reading few words. This pre-
cicas privilege, which was license to
crime, was taken away from a man
who committed bigamy. A man who
had taken widow to wife could no
longer kill or steal with impunity; he
had no longer benefit of clergy. The
unfortunate fact that his wife had had
another spouse rendered the living
kuet:0I amenable 70 the civil law.

Wee1n q the end q the present Co.
gress and much yet remains to be done

to be considered BY Congress until tho
special session Is held II may Be de-
cided to withhold its publication UNI
til then. Certainly nothing definite
will be given 70 the public at pres
emit
There is good reason to believe. how
ever, that the agricultural features Of
the new law will be very satisfactory
to the farmers. OF course 1t cannot
be expected that the extreme demands
OF the W0ol-Growers Association for
IL cents per pound on first and Sec
ond-class woods with three cents add
ed for skirted woods. can be accepted
by the committee. but wool will re-
ceive ample protection. A large meas
ure Of the agricultural portion of the
bill has been practically completed.
Many of the Mckinley law rates on
articles of agriculture have been
adopted. The rates on cattle have
been somewhat modified 50 that the
duty on cattle above one year old is
s. per head and % per cent ad va
loren on cattle valued at more than
$25 per head. This rate on cattle is
not as high as the Mckinley rate.
which was $40 per head on cattle more
than one year old, but it is believed
that with the ad valorem figure on
the more valuable grades it will be
sufficient to include the class of cattle
which come into competition with
American stock. especially that COM
ing from Mexico, from whence enor-
nous importations were made under
the Wilson law. The Mckinley rates
Of 80 cents per bushel have been re-
stored on barley and also the McKin-
ley law rates on fruits, berries. bread
stuffs, dairy products. potatoes. fax
seed, meats. meat products, eggs, poul-
try, hay and vegetables.

Brave Children.

The Denver Republican quotes an
interesting story of childish herOism.
related by Mr.. Spearman. attorney for
the department of justice at Washing
ton. He has been taking testimony
concerning some Indian depreciation
claims. In taking such testimony. he
says. frequently hear interesting stor-
les concerning early frontier life. I re-
member one case in particular. one OF
the most remarkable exhibitions OF
courage in an eight-year-Old boy that
/ have ever heard of. 1t occurred near
the town of Beaver in Utah A ranch
was attacked by Indians. and a man
who was visiting the ranchman was
killed. and for a while ii seemed as il

would fall a prey to the savages. The
house vas surrounded by the Indians
and the people within defended them

ranchman. watching his opportunity.
lowered his little boy and his daughter.
who was but twelve years of age. from
the back window and told them TO try
and make their way ta the canon and
follow it down to Beaver. where they
could obtain help. The children sue
ceeded in reaching the canon unob-
served. and with presence Of mind and
bravery which / think remarkable for
a child of that age, the boy told his
sister to follow one side Of the canon
and he would follow the other. so
that in case the Indians sh6uld find
one of them the other might not be
observed. The children got safely to
Beaver. where a party was organized
which fastened to the rescue of the
besieged. At the beginning OF the
siege the Indians had heard the chill
dren in the house. and missing their
voices. the alert savages discovered

full. and knowing that help would soon
arrive. they withdrew before the res

An international Coin.

There is a proposition before Con-
gress to enlarge the use for silver by
introducing into the currency system
an international CON-" on the style of
the discredited trade dollar. coined un-
der the act of 1873. This comes In
the form of a bill recently introduced
by Representative Beach of Ohio,
which. it is believed, contains features
which will do away with many OF the
objections which were found to the
trade dollar when it formed a portion
OF the currency Like some other sill
yer propositions. an international
agreement" is one of the important
features of the bill.
BY it's terms the president Of the
United States is authorized and re-
auested to enter into negotiations with
the governments of China, Japan, the
several republics and colonies of the
American hemisphere. the Hawaiian
islands and the Dominion of Canada,
with a view to securing uniform
standard of value in trade and COM
Merce."
This is following out a suggestion
made by President Arthur in 1884 and
developed in letter written by Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen to the chairman Of
the senate committee on foreign re-
lationS.
This same suggestion was among
those outlined by Mr. Blaine, who was
one of the advocates of an arrange
ment for a uniform standard among
the nations of the American hemis-
phere. The scheme was Endorsed by
all of the delegates to the International
American conference in 1889. with the
exception of those from the United
States, who were divided over the mat
ter, three being in favor. three against
and two non-committal.
It would seem that. as far as the
international feature of the scheme is
concerned, it might be practicable. and
have the effect of giving to American
merchants a considerable advantage
over those of Europe in handling the
trade of the silver standard countries.
while the proposed coin would not nee
essarily become a part of our domes-
tic currency. All which this country
might coin would be readily absorbed
by China. which has no fixed standard
nor coinage system of its own. and
BY other Asiatic countries.-Seattle

The debates in the senate last week
over the resolution providing for an
international monetary conference
gave a fresh illustration Of the small
bore caliber of the Populist states
men who infest that body. Led by Sen
ator Allen of Nebraska they opposed
the resolution. Pretending to be the
friends of silver, they refused to lend
a hand toward an honest attempt to
secure a more liberal use Of the white
metal over the whole world, and sui
lenly contended that free and unlimit-
ed coinage by the American people was
the only measure which could enlist
their support.
