THE CHRISTIAN SYNAGOGUE"
\ Peculiar Sect in Russia founded by
q Jewish Lawyer

The -'Neue F'raie Prasse" publishes
s-me interesting details OF The charac-
ter and work Of a Jewish lawyer who
died a short time ago in Kiecheneff. in
Bessarabia. His name was JoSeph
Rabbinovitch, and he founded a sect
or community which calls itself the
Christian Synagogue This set
claims t. continue the traditions Of the
early Christian church. The majority
consist ST Jaws, almost all belonging
to the poorer classes. which have been
prosecuted and despised since anti
Semitism first made its appearance in
Russia. In 1882 Rabbinovitch spent
several months in Jerusalem, and came
to the conclusion that the Holy Land
was not suited for the general immi-
grafton Of Jews. On returning TO
KischereT he declared the Jews must
begin again at 4 pciTt at which hey
stood 1900 years ago. They must re
turn to the person of Jesus. the true
Messiah, who hell the keys OF the Holy
Land. Taking as a model the Ebicn-
it's. who. though they acknowledge
Jesus to be the Messiah, remained
Jews and continued to obey the laws
OF Moses. Rabbinovitch f-unded a
Christian Jewish community, which
he called the Christian Synagogue of
Kischeneff He found many followers,
and certainly helped to improve tbs
condition Of the jews Of Bessa'R hia

Laws restricting the use of alum in

Germany and France for many years.
IN this country. in Minnesota, Wiscon-

DESTROYING OLD CARS.
Difficulties of an Apparently Easy
Task-So1ution OF the
Problem.

1t might be thought an easy thing to
destroy all the cars that any railroad
company may put On the superannu-
ated list in the course of a year, but
the experience of those who have charge
of this work points to a very different
conclusion. One company not long ago
found itself with $4,000 small wooden
coal cars, which had to be discarded for
cars better adapted to present traffic
conditions. A piece of ground was
leased for the purpose of wrecking
yard, and the cars were turned over
in small numbers to such people as
might desire the privilege of taking
away the wood, leaving the iron work
for the company. 1t was soon found
that the wreckers were also helping
themselves to the iron-worth from
one-half to one cent a pound-and final
~ it was decided to burn the cars. The
most approved method of doing this is
to make up 4 train of ten to fifteen cars.
A locomotive then adjusts itself, with
out coupling, to the train, and is sent
at great speed out on portable track
When at full Roadway the train is aban.
doned by the locomotive and the cars
go pell-men to the wreck heap, pi1ing
one on top of the other, four or five deep
This extemporized railway wreck
serves its purpose well, and the work
men say they can destroy 100 cars a
day. The number of cast-off passenger
cars now taken out of service every
year is almost incredible. The public
is becoming more exacting and compe-
tition runs high, and the railway com
panies are straining every effort to de-
sign an ideal street car, namely, one
of the convertible type, which can be
used at all seasons of the year and for
| every purpose. It must be arranged
to suit alike men who smoke and wom-
en- who don't. For long-distance runs
| transverse seats are desirable, but these
eat up the standing room, and it is the
standing load" that pays. It must be
as good a winter car as a summer car;
able to be kept warm at one season and
cool at the other. An immense number
| of convertible cars have been built in
| the effort to obtain a design which will
| combine all these features. They are
| to be found in the car barns of nearly
every large railway company. And the
| ideal car is still undesigned.-St. Louis
| Globe-Democrat.
