On the 9th nit, accompanied by a friend, | left
Jerusalem for Jaffa, en- route for Modin, the historic
village Of the Maccabaan heroes whose deeds we
have just been concentrating. A heavy fall Of
snow delayed our departure, and we remained at
Jaffa till last Sunday, when mounting our horses,
we rode out to Modin. We passed Rishon LIE Zion
and the Mikveh school; and an hour after leaving
the agricultural school we came upon the ancient
city of Lydia or Lod, situated in the plains OF
Sharon; plains full of legendary stories. At Lydia we
changed our horses for mules, animals better suited
for the rough road we had to traverse. good ride

200 inhabitants, who treated us with the pro-
verbal Arabian hospitality. Here we lunched with
our Arab hosts, the meal consisting of native bread
made from Durra seed and goats milk. Our trusty

HneeIo putting borns on moses.

Why did Michael Angelo put horns on his Moses!
The answer is found in a wrong translation, by
Jerome, from the Hebrew into the Latin Vulgate,
which IS the accepted Bible Of the Roman Church.
In our English version Of the Bible, three times in
the Book of Exodus (Chapter xxxiv, 20, 80, 35,) 1t
is said that when Moses came down from the mount
'his face shone," and the common impression prob
ably is that his face was all over radiant, as II
rubbed with phosphorus in a dark night. The
Hebrew language, however, like almost all OF very
early date, is in many respects what may be called
an object language; that is, its terms are not SO
much abstract, as taken from an expressive of visi-
BILE forms. And the Hebrew word here used is a
word expressive Of shape, and signifying both
a horn and a pencil of light; for as the horn OF the
oriental buffalo and a pencil oflight were both conf
cal in shape, the same word was used tor each. 1t IS
the same word that is used in Habakkuk (Chapter

The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1899-03-24

iii. 8 and A. where it is said: "God came from
Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran; and
His glory covereth the heavens, and the earth was full
His praise; and His brightness was as the light; and OF
He had horns coming out Of His hands, where the
version should have been, His everyhands radiated
light, or had rays-pencils of light streaming forth
from them"
Now Jerome in translating the passage from the
Hebrew of Exodus, made the Latin Vulgate sayof
Moses, as he came down from the mount, that his
face, or head, was horned, or had horns on it, when
he should have translated it, His very face, or
head, radiated light, " sending forth its beams to the
view of all Israel. In each of the three verses in
Exodus the same word is used by Jerome in his YER
sion. In the Goth verse he makes it read: When
Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he held the
two tables of the law, and knew not that his face
was horned In the 3Oth verse, aaron and the
children of Israel, looking on the face of Moses, saw
that it was horned" And as the Vulgate was the
Bible Of the Roman Church, and the only version
faniIiary known to Michael Angelo, when he turned,
as he naturally would, to the Book of Exodus for a
description of the appearance Of Moses, and found
that the verses we have quoted described him as
horned, or having horns, then, to be true to the
language of Scripture, he put these horns on the
head of his statue Of the great lawgiver of Israel.
So strangely may wrong translation mystify and
mislead tor ages interpreters as well as artists.

STRANGE KIDNAPPING CASE.
Parents Lose Their Baby Given I'm a
Nurses Charge.

New York, May 22.-The most remark
able kidnapping story that has been brought
to the notice of the police in many years
was told this morning by Arthur Clark. Of
No. 159 East Sixty-fifth Street His serv-
ant, Carrie Jones, he said. had stolen his
twenty-one months old baby, Marion.
Carrie, the nurse, took the baby out in
a carriage yesterday. 1t was nearly 5
O'Clock when she left the house, and she
was told to be back by O'Clock. After
sunset, when it had begun to grow chilly,
the Clarks grew uneasy over the non-ap-
pearance of the nurse and their baby.
They went out to search for the baby
and nurse and found the empty baby car
riage in the park. Later the mother of the
baby received an anonymous letter in
which the writer said:
do not look for your nurse and baby.
They are safe in our possession where
they will remain for the present. If the
matter is kept out of the hands of the po-
lice and from the newspapers, you will get
your baby back safe and sound. If in
stead you make a big time about it and
publish it all over the country We will see
to il that you never see her again"
The police are investigating. Up to a
late hour this afternoon the baby was still
missing. The nurse was engaged by Mrs.
Clark one week ago.

An injunction Against the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company.

An Injunction Against the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company.
A bill 10 set aside a sale and for injunc-
tion was filed today by James w. Barker
through his attorneys, Messrs, Tallmadge
A. and Wilton H. Lambert, against the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company of the
District.
The complainant alleged in his bill that
in July, 1898, he entered into a contract
with the defendant company to sell them
houses l10S and lilo II Street northwest,
at an agreed price of $4,000 out of which
a debt he owed them of sl1.20O was 10 be
deducted and the balance paid to him in
cash. This agreement, he alleges, was brok-
en- by the defendant. and that in the lat
ter part of December. 1895, the company in
disregard of the contract actually offered
through its trustees the property for sale
and pretended to become the purchaser
thereof at the price of $500. This sale it
was charged was invalid.
Ii was further set forth that the de-
fendant has filed suits at law for pre-
tended balance due it from the complain
ant of $3.50 and for eiectment in addition
to a bill in equity praying that receiver
be appointed to take charge of rents and
profits pendente lite, while the complain
ant has already sued the defendant at law
for $4,000 on account of the alleged breach
of contract. 1t was prayed that the pre-
tended sale of December, 1898, be set
aside, the deed Cancelled. and the defendant
restrained from prosecuting its actions
against the complainant or instituting 9TH
ers of like character.
Judge Cole this afternoon passed an cr-
der restraining and enjoinng the defend
ant from prosecuting its several actions
at law and from otherwise interfering with
the possession of the property until a
further order of the court.

LOCAL DEALINGS
IN SMALL Volume
An Irregular and Generally
Waning Market.
Weakness Develops Along the Line
of Stock Operations.
Securities Suffer Because Of Appre
hensiOns COncerning the Ford
Franchise Measure.

New York, May 22.-The stock market
opened fairly active and rather irregular.
In the main the tone was heavy and this
tendency of the market was accentuated
when pronounced weakness developed In
the shares of the local Gas and Traction
companies.
All Of these stocks broke sharply by rea-
son OF the apprehensions that no compro-
mise could be effected In regard to the
Ford franchise measure and the present
bill would be enacted. Metropolitan Street
Railway was the most severely affected
Of the group. but Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Manhattan and Consolidated Gas were also
very weak. New York Central was also
heavy.
The Granger shares and the other STAN
dard issues were dealt in slight recessions.
but the dealings in that quarter were in
small volume.
Sugar refining was highest at opening.
but later reacted sharply. The other in
dustrial stocks were not particularly active
and moved in line with the general mar
ket.
The London market continued closed
over the Whitsuntide holidays.

PIG IRON TO ADVANCE.
Prospect Of the Price Running Up to
GIT Per Ton

GIT Per Ton.
Pittsburg, May 22.-Steel manufacturers
are disturbed over the fact that scarcely
any Bessemer pig remains unsold. and that
the entire output for the year has been Sc
cured by the few large combinations. The
Bessemer Association will meet in Cleve-
land today and new price will be fixed.
This will undoubtedly be sl7 ton, as all
the brokers and manufacturers here re-
ceived such a tip on Saturday. 1t is also
said by manufacturers, and not denied at
association headquarters. that within ten
days Bessemer pig will be raised to $3.50
ton.
The output Of the Valley furnaces will
not be over 400. 600 gross tons for the last
six months of the year. Pittsburg is not
a seller Of Bessemer although it is the
largest producer in the country, but all
that is made here is manufactured into
shapes, and ii is safe to estimate that
several hundred thousand tons are bought
annually by Allegheny county steemak-
ers. 1t is only month ago that the price
| of Bessemer was fixed at $3.50 in the
| valleys. 1t was advanced to SIS two weeks
| ago, and raised to SIG last week.

days. The work is practically complete

Louisiana Faction Leader Lured
From His Home and Killed.
New Orleans, May 22.-Red River Parish,
La, has its factional feuds. one of which
has just resulted in the cowardly murder of
the leader of one of the factions by am
bushed assassins. Wren. the man killed,
lived at Black Lake, ten miles east of Cou
chatta. and for years he and his party had
been in what was practically a state of
war. Recently, however, the feeling ap-
peared less bitter, and meeting was
held at which 1t was decided that the
hatchet should be buried.
1t was however, only a trick to get
Wren to hang up his Winchester, and on
Saturday when, for the first time in many
months, he left his home unarmed. and
accompanied only by his four-year- r-old son,
a hidden assassin shot him down and kill
ed him instantly. The little boy. terri
fed by the spectacle of his fathers mur-
der, ran frantically away. and at last ac-
counts had not been found. The old fight
is now on with added energy, and Eew
crimes may be expected with certainty.
