AS a prominent and popular member of
the Wednesday club, and recognized as one
OF the most able women OF the Missouri
Federation, Mrs. Phillip N. Moore, is
looked to as the probable president OF the
biennial board, and there seems little doubt
that she will be elected to that ONCE at

come from a half dozen different sections

the presidency OF the General Federation

"BABEL AND BIBLE"
ANSWERED BY KOHLER

of Delitzsch made him the mocker of
the Old Testament"
DR.. Barnet A. Elias of Charleston, S.
c., sharply criticised Rabbi Kohler's
paper. His vigorous sentences for a
moment threatened the calm of the
gathering and resulted in DR.. Kohler
interrupting the speaker and demand
ing that he be called to order.
Or. Elias said Following up the
American-Jewis literature of the last
twenty years, one cannot help being
impressed with the fact that the chief
results Of the criticism, of which
Deitzsch Is the exponent, are admitted
by leading men in the Jewish pulpit. l
think that DR. Kohler's paper in point
ing out the faults of Delitszch's con-
illusions lacked the positive element,
as DR.. KohIer did not state what the
Jews do believe of the Bible"
AS soon as DIR. Elias saw his criti-
cism was Objectionable he Immediately
retracted what he had said and added
that he did not wish 1t understood that
he would in any way cast reflections
on the paper, which he considered val
liable scientific literature.
After the discussion DIR. Kohler's pa
per was adopted as official Jewish
literature and copies will be printed
and sent to Emperor William, before
whom the lectures on Babel and BIZ
ble." were first delivered.

Detroit, Mich, June SO.-A paper on
"AssyrioIogy and the Bible" in an
swer to Delitzsch on Babel and the
Bible" by Rabbi K. Kohler, Phi. D.,
of New York, was the feature of the
forenoon session of the Central Confer
ence of American Rabbis at Temple
Bethel. Rabbi Kohler said.
1.-THE question to us is how man
like Delitzsch can be so carried away
by prejudice and passion as to drag
the Book Of Books in the dust and i'm
pute to the God of Israel an unright-
BUSINESS and sensuality-nay, assign to
him horns and a sexual dualism. 1t
may be said of these lectures, What
ever is true in them is not new, and
whatever is new is not true.
1T is the characteristic sign of the
time that any professor or writer in
Germany that Graves popularity to-
day needs but to blow the horn of
anti-Semitism to receive the favor of
high and low, and the innocent blood
that ran the streets of Kishineff may
be traced to such German sham ut
tepances. There is little doubt i'm my
mind that ultra-conservative training

son, from Pike county, who taught the
Nichols High School this year and
stood well there. and who has been
confined in Jail at Douglas the past six
days under a warrant charging him
with simple larceny and enticing en-
ployes from their contracts, effected a
settlement of his case yesterday after
his brother, Rev. w. H. Robinson, pas
tor of the Second Baptist Church of
Paducah. KY, had been communicated
with, and had sent funds for that pur-
pose.
He had not been released and gone
more than ten minutes before another
warrant came up from Nichols charg-
ing him with larceny of money and
goods from Cohen's store in that town.
No arrest has yet been made under
the latter charge.

course we know that the reason the
fine lady longs for diamonds is not at
all because of their great cost-perish
the vulgar thought-but solely because
of their great beauty. But the South
African diamond crowd, being vuiga-
rians, went upon the vulgar assumption
that if diamonds were cheap nobody
would want them. The output was re-
stricted and the De Beers continues 20
pay 40 per cent. dividends and to put
by a reserve from which it could pay
80 per cent. more, and the diamond has
not become a semi-precious stone.
This explains how il happens that

pace behind demand. But how explain
the similar phenomena in the supply
of rubies, pearls, sapphires and the rest
of the precious stones? If the jewell
ers know they do not tell.
Our jewellers go oftenest to Paris and
stay longest there. Into that market
flow most of the Notwithstanding gems
of the world, nearly all of them, ex-
cepf the diamonds; coming from the
gorgeous east" And though in these
times of plethoric prosperity they have
to pay higher prices than they did
few years ago, still they always get
what they seek. Can it be that the
gorgeous east is also the crafty east,
and has. without making a fuss about
it, it's combines" that rule-ruby and

HANL0N AND YANGER
FOUGHT TO A DRAW

San Francisco. June SO-The Han
lon Xanger fight at the Mechanics
Pavilion tonight ended in a draw at
the end of the twentieth round, Ref
cree Ed. Smith being unable to choose
a winner between the game light feath-
erweights.
The fight was one of the fiercest ever
seen in this city. Both men fought
with vim from the tap of the bell
in the first round until the referee
gave his decision. Neither was able
to seriously injure the other, and the
contest lasted the limit.
From the first to the ninth round
Yanger had slightly the better of the
contest. In the ninth round the tide
turned in favor of the Californian.
In the eleventh and twelfth rounds
Hanlons lead was decisive but in the
thirteenth Yanger recuperated, and at
one time seemed to have Hanlon at his
mercy, but the local lad was too clever
and by good seneralship stalled of
what appeared to be a victory for the
Chicago boy. From the fourteenth to
the twentieth rounds inclusive Hanlon
had the better of the fight.
The bout ended with the men fight
ing like demons, but Hanlon succeeded
in landing the most telling punches
The pavilion was in an uproar, and
when the referee declared the fight a
draw they cheered unanimously.

CROPS IN GEORGIA.

Atlanta, June S0.-Following is the
summary of the Georgia crop report
for the week just ended. 1.-THE rain
fall for the week was unevenly dis
tributed; in some southern sections it
was heavy and damaging, but in mid
die and northern districts the showers
that occurred during the latter part of
the week were very beneficial. consid-
cradle progress was made in cuItiva-
ton of crops, although many fields are
still grassy. owing to scarcity of labor
Cotton improved slightly during the
week, but continues very small for
the season, and is fully three weeks
late.
Plants are blooming in southern
counties, and squares are forming in
few middle and northern localities.
The continuance of low night temper
atures is a detrimental feature. Some
correspondence states that a good crop
may be made if the season is very
late. but the present outlook is dis
couraging. Corn is making fair gorwth
but tasseling low.
Threshing of wheat and of oats con-
tinues in northern districts and is gen
orally completed elsewhere; yields
variable. Apples are plentiful; peaches
short, but good quality; melons late
and poor; cane and potatoes fine"

QUAINT W0OINGS.
Eccentric COurtships of Some of the
Great Men.

Eccentric COurtships of Some of the
Great Men.
From the London Express
That there is no accounting for the
eccentricities of lovers lis sufficiently
proved by the odd methods in which
many of the worlds great men have
wcoed and won their wives.
When Schumann, the famous com
poser, fell head over heels in love with
Clara Week, his masters daughter,
his path of courtship was by no means
one of roses, for Herr Week had no
wish to see his only daughter the wife
of a penniless musician, and he for
bade the young lovers 10 hold any COM
munication with each other.
But love laughs at parental frowns
and as Schumann could not even write
to his lady love he poured out his soul
TO her in a series of Letters to Clara ="
printed in a musical journal of which
he was editor.
When the time was ripe for settling
his destiny he made music the vehicle
of his passion, and actually proposed
to Clara on the piano under the very
word being uttered, and received her
joyful assent Through the same me,
dunn.
Edisons method of wooing was no
less eccentric. One day he strolled in
to one of his workrooms and stood be-
hind the chair Of pretty operator VINO
was absorbed in her work. When the
girl glanced around, and, looking shy
ly up at him, said:
Il knew it was you, Mr.. Edison.
always know when you are near" He
answered, to her amazement:
I've been thinking a great deal
about you lately; and If you are willing
to marry me, / would like to marry
you"
A month later the pretty employee was
promoted to a partnership" which she
has never since regretted. Spohr won
his wife with equally dramatic sudden
ness. After playing a duet at a court
concert with Dorette Scheidler beau
tiful and gifted harpjsL and while the

tumult of applause was still ringing in
| their ears, he said to his companion:
shall we play together thus through
Ife?"
For answer "the lady burst into tears
and sank into his arms"
One day when DR.. Dawson, an elo-
quent preacher of a century ago, call
ed to see Miss Corbett, wealthy adj
mirer of his oratory, for whom he had
conceived q not altogether platonic af-
fiction, he found her reading the BIZ
BILE.
Stealing up behind herr he looked
over her shoulder to see what she was
reading when, without showing any
recognition of his presence the lady's
forefinger rested on the words of Ma
than to David:
Thou art the man.
Even a less marked hint would have
been sufficient for DR.. Dawson, and
we cannot wonder that Miss Corbett
soon changed her name.
DR.. Abernethy, the famous physician,
was as abrupt in his courtship as in his
treatment Of his patients. When, aft
er a single meeting, he decided that
Miss Anna Threlfall would make a de-
srable life partner he promptly wrote
to tell her so in a direct, businesslike
way. He told her frankly that he was

spare for love-making," but IL she was
willing to marry him she might let him
know. and the answer was favorable
Gainsborough's wooing was made
almost absurdly easy for him. He had
completed a portrait of Miss Burr. a
charming young rady of 16 summers,
when his fair sister was 50 delighted
with her presentment that she more
than hinted that. while she took the
copy the artist might claim the orig
inal. Gainsborough did not decline such
a tempting offer.
For constancy it would be difficult to
