Rabbi Jacob Joseph.

4 Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph, head Of
the orthodox Jews in the United
States, whose funeral caused riot
in New York on Wednesday, was cali
ed to that city by eighteen of the
largest orthodox synagogues in 1887,
from wilma, Russia, where he had ac-
quired renown as a preacher. His ar
rival ii New York vas looked upon as
one Of the most important events in
the history of orthodox Judaism in
America. His sermons were attended
by crowds of enthusiasts; he was
named chief rabbi, and all the Jewish
butcher shops, where meat was pre-
pared according to the laws of Moses
and the Talmud, were placed under
his supervision. The new rabbi was
easily the profoundest Talmudic schol-
ar in America and this, added to his
sincere piety and afectionate, gentle
nature, endeared him to all those who
chung to the older forms of the faith.
Rabbi Joseph had not been in New
York many months before he found
himself confronted with conditions
which disturbed his peace of mind and
made him wonder whether he would
ever feel at home in the turbulent
American city. The same sermons
that evoked admiration of the old peo-
pie in wilma were criticised, even
ridiculed. Some of the people left the
synagogue in the middle of his SER
mons. They had been two or three
years in America. They had heard
speakers, read newspapers. After he
became hopeless invalid there was
nothing but sympathy and love for
Rabbi Joseph.

THE COTTON RULES
HAVE BEEN CHANGED.
A Conference Between Railroads
and Shippers Results in Three
Marked changes---Farm-
ers' Profit.

An agreement has been entered into
between the railroads and the South
eastern Cotton Buyers Association
for the coming cotton season which
Will mean a saving of at least 500, OOC
to the farmers of Georgia alone, and
about the same amount to those OF
Alabama.
At conference held in New York
Thursday between the executive COM
mittees Of the Southeastern Freight
Association and the Southeastern Cot
ton Bugers' Association it was agreed
by the railroads to moderate their
former compress payments, TO abol-
ish almost entirely concentration
charges for inland points and to allow
shippers, to route cotton as they
pleased.
The cotton men are jubilant over
the concessions made by the railroad
company and from now on it is beliey-
ed that harmony instead of friction
will exist between the two associa-
tions. Some time ago the railroads
notified the compress men that only
six cents the hundred pounds would
be paid for COMPRISING cotton and no
assurance was given about the concen-
tration charges which were amounting
to from one to three cents the hun
dred pounds and the cotton shippers
were thinking that they would have
to allow the railroads to ship their
cotton as they desired.
Bnt at the conference the railroads
agreed to pay six per cent the hum
dred pounds for COMPRISING cotton in
Georgia, which cotton was to be ship
ped to either North or South Carolina
and that in Alabama the price to be
paid for COMPRISING should be seven
and one-half cents the hundred pounds
where the cotton was to be shipped TO
either Of the Carolinas. The railroads
also agreed that where cotton was to
be exported or shipped to the New
England states they would pay seven
and one-half cents the hundred pounds
for such cotton compressed in Georgia
and eight and one-haf cents the hun
dred for such cotton compressed in
Alabama. Before the cotton to be
shipped from Georgia was not to be
compressed, that is where it had to go
to the Carolinas. and only six cents
was to have been paid when it was to
be exported Or shipped to New Eng
land.
The concentration charges which
have heretofore been from one to three
cents the hundred pounds will practi-
cally be abolished.
The railroads also agreed TO allow
the shippers to route their own cot
ton. Last year the railroads routed
all Of the cotton shipped. The roads
reserved the right however, to route
the cotton when the shippers had no
preference.
The agreement is for the coming
cotton season and will go into effect as
soon as the first shipments are made.

FAIR WILL SETTLEMENT.

Heirs Agree, but Law Will Cause
Much Delay.
San Francisco Aug, 2S.-Although
the heirs of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles l.. Fair have reached an agree
ment, it will be six months or year
before all the legal arrangements can
be perfected The wills left by the
decedents will be filed in the near flu
ture for probate. Then executors will
have to be appointed, and there are a
number of minor heirs whose interests
will have to be looked after. There
will be no contest, however, over the
estate, as the Fair children, Mrs. Anna
II. Nelson, Abram Nelson, Charles
Smith and the other heirs desire to
avoid litigation.
All the terms of the adjustment will
not be made public, but the attorneys
state that the relatives of Mrs. Fair
will receive the full value of her es-
tate, which has been estimated at
100000. None of these interested will
admit that they are to be given a lump
sum in cash.
The document by which the Nelson's
relinquish all claims on the estate of
Charles L. Fair is in the form of a
quitclaim, the consideration for which
is stated to be $40 in gold coin. BY it
Mrs. Nelson and her two sons convey
to Mrs. Oelrich and Mrs. Vanderbilt all
their right, title and interest in ninety
nine different pieces of Fair estate
property in this city and county, to-
gether with thirteen in San Mateo
county, three in Napa, four in Yolo and
some holdings in Calaveras county.
This settlement will not affect the
application of Public Administrator
Farnham to secure administration of
the wills which is being opposed by
the heirs.

State Commissioner OF Roads
Henry I. Budd has been in this vioin-
ity of the State during the week Civ
ing personal attention to road work
which is being done under the state
road act. Previous to visiting Morris
County he spent some time in Ber-
nardsville, where number of the
leading residents were interviewed
with view of taking up the question
of building improved roads in that
vicinity which would connect with
the Morris County roads.
E. Fl. Schley, owner and proprietor
of the Somerset Inn at Bernardsville,
who always has the interests of Som
erset County, and especially the
Bernardsville end of it, near at heart
gave dinner on Tuesday night at

Among its guests are included persons
prominent in the social and business
life of Newark. New York and else
where and so we'll pleased are they
with the accommodations at the hotel
that they come year after year. This
year the weather has been so cool that
the guests instead of going to the
seashore have remained at the Inn
and some of them have been booked
for the remainder of the season, the
hotel not closing until thu last of
October. All the guests unite in their
praise of Bernardsville as to location,
drive and the life at the Inn. A
dinner was given in the private
dining room on Tuesday evening by
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Hyde. The
decorations of the tables were gladio-
Ii, dahlias, nasturtiums, sweet peas,
mignonette and many varities of wild
flowers which were artistically ar
ranged on the table and in the din
