The train was waiting for its Philadelphia

The diners seemed TO be eating In a most
lesurcly fashion, with no apparent concern
for those who were less fortunate

Just look at them!" And she indicated
to him four foreign looking men, sitting
side by side and talking together. a little
distance away on the other side OF the car.
Truth to tell they were not very desperate
looking to the young man, and he said 80.
But, tell you that's what they are"
insisted the young woman, "and they've
got bomb with them now. Look! They re
going to blow up something, know"
The young man looked again at the

She lived with her husband and flve children
at 1919 Diamond street. but death came in
st 1uke's Hospital. where she had UNDER
gone an operation. She WAS So years OF age
Through the misty reaches Of sacred history
this woman could trace her kinship to the
dlstin guished Jewish family Abarbanel
whose relationship to King David is undoubte
and whose achievements throughout Europe
are matters of history.
Mrs Lipschuetz. whose maiden name
was Bertha Neumann. sprang from that
branch OF the family of which Don Isaac
Abarbapel. Prime Minister in Spain in 1902,
was the head During that time. when
persecution against the Jews began as a
result OF the change In the religious views
OF Ferdinand and Isabella. Don Isaac was
obliged to fee with his less favored brethren
The family scattered. settling in various
parts of Europe. Don Isaac afterward be-
came Prime Minister in Italy.
The grandfather of the dead woman was
Rudolph Hirsch Abarbanel. one of the fore
most rabbis of Germany in the last century
The city of Gretz. where he died, gave him
public funeral. and the government buildings
were draped in mourning.

Has Ninety Rich widows.
From the Indianapoiis Ncr

Ninety widows in town of $500 popula-
ton. every one good looking. all of them
rich and no one that wants to marry again
That is part of the census record of Crown
point. Ind
At the intersection of two streets, making
four corners. are two squares. called Quality
Corners" and at these corners are four
widows whose aggregate wealth Is more
than $500, 600, and in two blocks there are eight
widows who can draw their checks for at
least 500, 900 more. In the vicinity Of Quality
Corners" are eleven widows all handsome,
all well-to-do. The rest of the ninety widows
arc scattered over town
These widows enjoy themselves and are
noted for their acts of charity, and many
of the poor people OF the city can thank them
for good dinners and warm clothing in winter
IL was once reported that the widows of
CrownpOnt were going to organize a union
but the man who started the report myster-
ously disappeared and has never been heard
of but once: and then he was living the life of
a hermit in a cave of the Rocky Mountains
Another pcculiarty of the census in Crown
point is the fact that there is not an aged
spinster in the town. not bachelor, and
only one widower. "Od maids" do not grow
well and bachelors are considered n dis
grace. The one widower has been showing
signs of matrimony lately and there is no
telling what is going to happen

SHIP-OF-WAR CONSTITUTION.
Famous Old Man.Of.War in Need OF Repairs
An Appeal TO the Department.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lO-The famous old
ship-of-war Constitution now at the Boston
Navy Yard, is in need of repairs, and the
Navy Department has received appeals
to keep her from further deterioration.
One of the suggestions is that the Govern
ment transfer the ship to the Common
wealth of Massachusetts. which will main
tain her in good condition. but this is not
favored by the Navy Department. Secre-
tary Moody is considering ways and means
of preserving the vessel without appealing
to Congress for an appropriation. Under
a general law he has authority to repair
a wooden ship at cost of not more than
10 per cent. of her original cost, and as this
will permit the expenditure of about $50 900.
it is probable that Mr.. Moody will authorize
repair work to that amount This, it Is
believed will be sufficient to keep the Con-
stitution from going to pieces.
