RUSSIAN MASSACRES.

The barbaritieS committed upon
the Jewish population of Bessarabla,
in Asiatic Russia, have caused a
cry of protest and Indignation from
the civilized world History fur
nishes no record of blacker deeds
than those which have recently been
enacted in this Russian province.
The tortures and nameless cruelties
upon the Hebrew people are com
parable only to the fiendish deeds of
savages. But Russia is professedly
christian nation. The proclamation
of the Gar granting freedom of
conscience and religion throughout
his wide domains was still ringing in
the ears of his subjects, who we're
grateful beyond measure for this
onward step in behalf of tolerance in
matters of faith, when the story of
this hideous slaughter of unoffend-
ing oitizents is told to the world.
Isolated instances of inhumanity are
not uncommon in every civilized
nation. They are not unknown even
in the United States, which takes
foremost place in kindly and benefi-
cient laws. The lynching of negroes
by burning at the stake in the south,
are admittedly blots upon our civil
zation. The few cases of cruelty in
fiicted upon the Filipinos in the tur-
moil of passions inflamed by war
fare, are to be regretted. The re-
deeming feature about these in
stances is that they are not condoned
by public opinion. The authorities
are swift to condemn them. But in
Russia there is no condemnation for
these murderous assaults upon the
Jews. No effort to bring the per-
petrators to account for their crimes.
There is too much reason to infer
that officials of the government, if
not actually instigating the masss-
cres, are quietly abetting them by
shielding the guilty parties.
And wherefore are these atrocities
committed. Two causes are sug-
gested. One-that put forward by
the Russians themselves-that the
Jews are a hated race in the land of
the Gar because of their commercial
instincts. They are the money
lenders, the usurers of that country;
as they are in other parts of the
world. For this reason they are
prosecuted. The other cause as
signed-and by far the more prob
able one--is on account of their re-
ligion. The ecclesiastical head of
the province is reported to have
said, that the Hebrews must eth er
emigrate or become converts to
orthodox faith. It is the same spirit
that lighted the fires of christian
martyrdom in the early days, and
through the dark ages. 1t is this
feature of the barbarities that stamps
the persecution as so peculiarly out
of joint with the enlightened senti-
ment of the twentieth century.

AN AMADoR CASE DECIDED.
Taxes paid to redeem Property sold tt
the State cannot be recovered from
the Mortgage.

The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals this week handed down the
following decision:
The Anglo-C Californian Bank, Ltd, ,
VS.. Elizabeth Eudey, Frederick Eudey
and Alexander Eudey, executors of the
last will of Henry Eudey, deceased.
Judgment reversed with directions to
the court below to enter Judgment for
the bank with costs.
The action was begun by Henry Eu-
dey in his lifetime. The complaint al
legged that the Cover Mining Company.
about May l, 1894, mortgaged to the
bank for S15, 900 certain mining prop
erty in Amador county. The mortgage
was assessed to the bank and the taxes
not being paid, the property was sold
to the state. After Eudey became the
owner of the record title on foreclosure
proceedings, he demanded that the
bank should pay the delinquent taxes,
interest, percentages and penalties to
the state. The bank refused, and Eu-
dey sued to recover the amounts paid
by him to the state to remove the
states lien on the property. Suit was
brought in the United Slater Circuit
Court, and judgment was rendered in
favor of Eudey and against the bank,
In reversing this Judgment the Cir
cult Court of Appeals say that it is true
that by sections and of article Is OF
the constitution of California and sec
tion 3716 of the Political Code it is
made the duty of the mortgagee to paw
the mortgage tax. but it appears from
the record that the assignment of the
mortgage in question, made by the
bank to the Abner-Doble Company.
was made upon the condition that the
company, its successors and assigns,
should assume to pay all taxes then as
sessed, or that might be assessed there
after, upon the mortgage. Eudey
must be held chargeable with know
ledge of the public records, which i'm

assignment of the mortgage carried
with it the obligation to pay the taxes
that had been or should be assessed
against it or the moneys secured there

Hesdoear and Temperaments.

A French writer once delivered him
self Of the epigram, LIE style c'est
Phomme," and it may perhaps be per-
mitted to parody this with the remark,
LIE chapeau c'est la femme" 1t is,
for instance. evident to the meanest
capacity (Which may be taken to mean
the perceptive powers of the average
manD that the hat is by far the most
important article of feminine toilette.
The gown, of course, counts for a great
deal; the fit of the bodice and the hang
of the skirt being of great Importance
in producing that most fascinating of
all pictureS-a perfectly dressed
woman. But the bodice may be con-
cealed beneath cape or cloak, or
partially hidden by. lace collar or fur
stole. The skirt may be concealed by
the fact that the wearer is sitting at a
table or reclining in a carriage. But
the hat, like the city that is set on a
hill, cannot be hid" and consequently
plays the most important part of all as
the crown to which all the other gar
ments must be considered subservient.
Consequently, it does not require the
inductive powers of a Sherlock Holmes
to arrive at the conclusion that, by TAX
ing careful note of a woman'S hat, the
keynote of her temperament may
readily be discovered. Thus, for in

a chapeau whose symmetry and sew
Gritty will serve to symbolic the stern
and uncOmprOmising character on
which she prides herself.

duty in that state of life, etc, by MAX

This is the sort of thing that one
would naturally expect, but here, as in
everything that concerns the feminine
world, the stern goddess of fashion
steps in, and endeavors to upset the
carefully hought-out calculations Of
the most aStute statiStician.
One day, for instance, this caprfcious

A Change in Mrs. Kemp.

There was a family reunion in the
Nutshell, the Newport cottage Mrs.
Arthur T. Kemp is occupying, after
her decree of divorce. Mrs. Nelson,
her mother. went up from this city to
offer her congratulations, and Jules 3.
Nelson, the brother, also was there.
Mrs. Kemp seldom Is seen in the
streets Of Newport, and sits for many
hours each day on her veranda. The
veranda of the Nutshell Is screened
and is fitted like a room Potted plants
add touch of color. Mrs. Kemp has
passed much time In recent weeks in
embroidering centerpieces and sofa
pillows. But these sedentary pursuits
have led to stoutness. She hus been
gaining weight perceptibly, and her
face has become plump. Formerly her
great charm was her slender, graceful
form. She would wear tight-fitting
robes of black that were bewitching.
Her appearance has been altered
greatly by her increased avoirdupofs.
1t Is probable Mrs. Kemp will be
more active socially than before the
divorce. She has not been really
prominent for three years. III health
and marital unhappiness were said to
be the causes of her retirement. She
Is seldom without her pearl earrings.
They are remarkable because the
stones are of different colors. One
pearl Is black and the other white
They are recent gift from Mrs. Nell
son. Single pearl earrings are still in
favor, and judging from the black and
white pearls of Mrs. Kemp, 1t is not
necessary the gems should be alike.

Bad Weather for compIexions.

At the meeting Of the West End
Women's Republican association, in
New York, last Thursday, one of the
women was in distress. She had not
counted on the sultriness of the day,
and her gown was heavy. About her
neck she wore ruche of net that in
creased her discomfort. Moreover, she
was painted lavishly. Presently there
was litter from her neighbor, for
down her cheek was trickling a bead
of perspiration, tinged 6tTicate pink.
Another bead appeared, with more de-
cided coloring. In vain the woman
slid her handkerchief under her veil,
The destruction of her complexion
went on. When there were straight
lines where the rouge had been wash
ed away and blotches where the hand
kerchief had absorbed the pink water
she disappeared.

no longer correct-of wearing odd
waists and skirts. Not SO very long
ago the woman with one good skirt
could have changes Of costume by hav-
ing several fancy waists. But entire
toilettes of one material are now the
thing. and the fancy waists have gone
out. 1t is also the fashion to dress a
good deal for luncheons and teas, and
a woman who has not some elaborate

There are several women IN this
world who cannot speak to a man In
public without having her engagement
reported. Lovely Countess Fabricotd
is one Of these women. Miss May Goe-
let is another, and Mrs. Potter Palmer
is a. third. Men are to some extent ex-
empt from this gossip. but Eugene
Zimmerman, the father Of the Duchess
of Manchester, is victim of these Cos
sips. He is a pleasant man, with a
pronounced fondness for society. One
day in the Waldorf he said: part Of
my daily routine is to deny my rumor-
ed engagements. never walt for the
supposed fiancee to be reached. Other
wise it would be believed I was tenn
porizing. No. sir; I deny fatty every
few days." With Mr.. Zimmerman 1t is
an Indianapolis widow one week. a
poverty stricken noblewoman the next,
while frislly society girls are supposed
to be his preference. 1t is hoped the
Manchesters do not credit these tales,
because they would spend many rest
less hours if a Mrs. Eugene thinner
man were created. 1t would be a sad
blow to the Manchester prospects if
the family fortune were divided in this
way. Her grace is Zimmerman's only
daughter.
Mrs. Palmer has already denied the
ridiculous report connecting her name
with that of the Prince Of Monaco
denial that was scarcely necessary to
anyone who is familiar with the high
bred Americanism that dominates the
actions Of that esti~7able Woman-but
the zimmerman Anors strike me
somehow as irresistibly funny. I can

possessor of a tepmother-in-law as
young as your duchess. For his

will look before he leaps.
