There is very little left of the Hart
Tort, except her keel. She has been re-
built, but not remOdeled; and, like the
famous Constitution, looks exactly as
she did in the days of her greatest
tame. The theory and impulse which
prompts men to revere historic things
prompted the old naval officers to seek
the renewal of the Constitution and the
Hartford, and both of them are sailing
on their old keels, but all of their super
structures are new, although precisely
proportiOned upon the original plans.
The congress appropriated the money
for their reconstruction, and the old
battleships will be kept in repair for
ever, as visible monuments of the
glories of the dauntless American navy.

MARK TWAIN ON THE JEWS
The Famous HumOrist Has Deserv-
edly High Opinion of the
Children of Israel.

The Jew is not a disturber of the
peace of any country. Even his en-
emies will concede that. He is not a
lOafer, he is not a sot, he is not noisy,
is not a brawler, nor d rioter; he Is
not quarrelsome. In the statistics of
crime his presence is conspicuously
rare-in all countries. With murder
and other crimes of violence he has but
little to do; he is a stranger to the hang
man. In the police courts daily long
roll of assaults" and drunk and dis
Orderlies" his name seldom appears,
That the Jewish home is a home in the
truest sense is fact which no one will
dispute. The family is knitted together
by the strongest affections; its mem
bers. show each other every due re-
spect, and re ference for the elders is
an inviolate law of the house.
The Jew is not burden on the char
tiles of the state, nor of the city; these
could cease from their functions with
out affecting him. When he is well
enough, he works; when he is incapaci-
tated, his own people take care of him.
And not in poor and stingy way, but
with fine and large benevolence. His
race is entitled to be called the most be-
nevOlent of all the races of men. A jew
ish beggar is not impossible, perhaps;
such thing may exist, but there are
few men that can say they have seen
that spectacle. The Jew has been
staged in many uncomplimentary
| forms, but, so far as l know, no Gramat-
list has done him the injustice to stage
him as beggar. Whenever Jew has
real need to beg, his people save him
from the necessity of doing it. The
charitable institutions of the Jews are
supported by Jewish money, and amply,
The Jews make no noise about it: il
IS done quietly; they do not nag and
poster and harass us for contributions
they give us peace, and set us an ex,

found ourselves able to follow.-Mark

And Attends Church.

HOT SPRINGS. Va, May li.-Secre-
tary Alger forwarded to the President
to-day some dispatches from General
Otis. They advised him that another
peace commission from AgulnaIdo was
on Its way to Manila to discuss terms OF
peace. No instructions were sent from
here TO General Otis, the policy being,
as heretofore, to leave matters entirely
with General Otis. The dispatches also
told OF ill-uSage suffered by Spaniards
from the insurgents at Zamboanqa. one
OF the smaller islands OF the Philippine
group. 1t may become necessary TO
send light draught vessel there. No
immediate action, however. will be ta-
ken as diplomatic questions are Involv-
ed and General Otis will be left 10 deal

BUFFALO. N. Y. May 1.-THE grain
shovelers will return TO work tomorrow

at o'clock this morning at the con-
ference between the lake carriers, ele-
vator men and grain shovelers. The
terms Of the agreement were reduced
to writing and properly signed tonight
at the residence of Bishop Qulglcy. At

The agreement provides that the
grain shovelers shall receive S1.S5 per
1000 bushels: that the contractor shall
not receive high mans pay; that O
superintendent shall be appointed by
the bishop to guard the interests of the
men; that local board of arbitrators
shall be appointed to pass upon any
grievance which my arise In the fu-
ture, and that fourteen of Contractor

the charges made by the grain Shovel
ers that they are identified with saloon
interests or otherwise Objectionable.
At meeting of the grain shovelers
held In st. Brldgets hall tonight tn.
agreement reached at the conference
was approved. Many OF the men, how
ever are dissatisfied. They wanted q
complete abrogation Of the contract and
were especially desIrous that Mr.. Con-
ners should have nothing at oil to do
with the appointment Of the boss
scoopers. Some little trouble is antic-
ipated as a result OF the refusal OF
Mr.. Conners to discharge the men who
took the places of :he strikers.

of the new men would be received Into
the union, but that some would be re-

that no serlousftrouble will result.

Awaits Dewey From Foreign Navics
During His Passage OF the Mcditcr-
rancun Sea.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 14.-Ad-
miral Dewey's home coming by way OF
the Mediterranean, Is likely to give oc-
cas!on for distinguished l!onors from
the navies of Europe, most OF them
being represented by extensive squad
rons in those waters and some of them
having their chief naval stations at
Mediterranean ports. Already Ambas-
sador Cambon. Of France, has called the
attention of the authorities at Paris to
the return of Admiral Dewey by way
| of the Mcditerranea1 and the probable
sailing of his flagship Olympia past the
French naval ports In Algiers These
are opposite the British Possessions of
Gibraltar and Malta, at the entrance to
the Mediterranean, and are easy and
natural stopping places along that
route. 1t is hardly expected that the
admiral will touch at Toulon. the great
naval depot OF France. At the ports of
French Algiers he will be accorded ev-
cry honor due not only to his high rank,
but 10 the universal esteem In which he
is held by the naval fraternity.
The British authorities have taken no
steps thus far to have the admiral stop
at British ports. but It was stated to-
day by one of the British oficIale that
Dewey would be assured most enthu-
siastic greeting If he stopped at any
British station, and that undoubtedly
steps would be taken TO induce him to
touch ut Plymouth and Portsmouth, the
southern naval depots of England. II
there was any prospec. OF his accept
ance. In any event. 1t Is said, the ad-
miral was quite likely to stop at Malta
and Gibraltar, as these are the usual
coaling places and this would give an
opportunity for an expression OF British
esteem FOR him. In the event that the
admiral could be induced TO stop in
England Ell route home. 1t is said that
he would probably be met at Alden or
Port Said by a British escort.
