A Vacation.

The Herald learns that Judge Sted-
man, general attorney of the 1. &
G. N, has been granted a three
months vacation. The judge is a
much overworked man, and has been
pleading for lay-off for long time,
but because of pressing business the
railroad management would not grant
a season of rest. It is told that the
Judge laid down the ultimatum of a
three months rest or his resignation.
He got his vacation.

R0SH-HASHANA.
The Jewish New Year $3.50 Is At
Hand.

The hottest days within the con-
seriousness of the Jewish people begins
this evening at 6 o'clock, when the
hour strikes for the Hebrew to put his
religious household in order. The first
of these holy days is Rosh Hashana,
or New Year. The Jew who is not
awakened to the consciousness of his
Jewish obligation during this solemn
season has forfeited the privilege of
being numbered among his people.
Few indeed are those who on Rosh
Hashana who do not feel the burdens
and blessings of their history; few
whose eyes fail to behold the past I'M
rolled and who do not marvel at the
inscrutible Providence that has pre-
served people during the stress and
storm of centuries. The New Year
begins with the 1st of Tishi. The first
ten days of that month are called the
ten days of Penitence, which begin
with the New Year and close with the
Day of Attonement, Yom-Kippur.
Usual services will be held on these
occasions.

Bank Statements.

Today the Herald publishes state
ments of the Palestine National bani,

Palestine is justly proud of her banks,
and no towns in Texas has better ones.

Industry Kills Intern.

Commenting on the temperance
question, Golfers for September 3
editorially says: "This country pre-
sents no such clear case as England,
because our population contains so
many temperate drinkers-Germans
with their beer and Italians with their
wine. AS brewers we have just passed
Germany, where the consumption of
beer is apparently growing less, while
it increases here. The solution OF the
exceptionally many sided problem of
regulating mans taste for alcohol has
been brought no nearer by legislation.
The brightest side of it is the check
given to drink by industrial advance.

St. Petersburg, June 16.-There is great elation here over the es- caping of the Vladivostok fleet and the consternation being crea ted in Japan all along its inside coast line. The absence of any confirmation to the report that the fleet had been overtaken and sunk is taken to mean that the fleet has escaped, after inf1icting great damage, sink ing transports and merchant yes sels, and that its whereabouts at this time is unknown to the Japa- nese admiral. It is thought to now be standing order for the two squadrons to affect a union at any cost.

RUSSIANS WILL ATTACK

St. Petersburg, June 23.-The expectation of a great battle is to- day intensified by the report of Kuropatkin's speech to General Stakelberg's corps at Kai Chou, whom he said he would see the troops again soon, tor he must set tie the Japanese promptly and was not going home until this was done. The general is understood to have meant he would return to Liao Yang with a large force and himself give battle.

' From Tladivostok--Japanes Greatly Wrought-up-Coast Towns Being
 Rapidly Placed in State of Defense
 Tokio, June 16 It is reported the Japanese csuiser Nstaka has engaged the Russian Vladivostok squadron off Tsu island, in the strait between Korea and Japan. The report lacks confirmation. 'rbe Japanese transports Ugo and Fayo, homeward bound, met the Russian vessels near Okijoki island. The Russians pursued and fired 16 shots. The transports escaped.
 Reports of canonading heard are being received from various points, but the exact nature of the opera tions of the Vladivostok squadron has not been disclosed. It IS known to be possible tue Russian vesse Is l have surprised and captured the three Japanese transports which left Shimonoseki yesterday for the army bases in Korea and China. All the warsbips in this vicinity are hurrying to the scene. Sasebo is to be closed at once. No south ern oity of Japan is exposed to an i attack by sea. but the raid may prove expenslve to shipping.

Beginning July IS, tue N. c. Co. will sell for cash only. Commer- cial dust will also be taken for SIS. 50 per ounce after that date. This new departure on tbe part ot tue N. c.

less loose on chains in the Enclosures
of the so-called palace, and had certain
ly eaten a number of venturesome
boys who thought it great fun to go
and tease them. Seeth was at once in
troduced to Menelek, and in less than
fortnight he had tanned all the lions
to such an extent that they would go
through a regular performance with
him-forming a pyramid, leaping over
one another. and ending with grand
finale, in which the tanner raised
young lion on to his shoulders and
walked off with him.
Seeth not only was paid handsomely
in silver lollars-as much as he could
carry-but he was presented with the
whole of the thirty-one lions by the
monarch, who soon tired of the novelty
of the show.
A somewhat similar position to M.
Zig Is occupied by Kaid Sir Harry Mac
Lean, who is something between prime
minister, chief adviser and army COM
mander in chief to the sultan of Nor
| Deco. MacLean some thirty years ago
was poor lieutenant in the British
| army stationed at Gibraltar, and he
was obliged to leave because he could
! not pay his debts. He crossed over
the straits and made for Fee, which is
i the northern Moorish capital.
He has never since looked back in
his career, and it is undoubtedly of
great advantage to the British govern
ment that an Englishman should occu-
py so influential a position. MacLean
has drilled the Moorish troops recent
ly fighting the Pretender. He has had
the buying of all the big guns, rifles,
and stores, besides the many costly
toys affected by his imperial master.
These include motor cars, small light
railways, little more than toys, and
particularly Photographic cameras, one
of which had fittings of solid gold and
cost over $4,000. The passion of Muley
ell Aziz for photography, by the way
has greatly shocked the conservative
Viziers and fanatical Mohammedan
| court officials.
Lastly, it is well known that the
Mad Mullah, who is giving such trouble
to the British Somaliland, has a for
eign officer in the person of one Karl
Inger, an Austrian

M'LEAvY BROWN is PRIME Min.
IsTER TO THE KING OF
CoREA.
Many Europeans Have Attained High
Rank in More or Less Savage
Courts - Corea Has Telephones and
Electric Trolley Cars.

The official adviser and prime min
lister of the king of Corea, at Seoul is
McLeavy Brown an Englishman. The
fact that Corea is practically the bone
of contention between Russia and ia
pan and that this has brought this
country into more or less prominence
brings to mind the remarkable number
of Europeans who have attained high
rank in more or less savage courts. 1t
is no doubt due to Mr. Browns infiu-
ence that the Corean capital in spite
of it's dreariness and wretchedness and
it's spiritless people long ground down
and tributary to China, Russia and
Japan, yet possesses the most incon-
gruous system of long distance tele-
phone and electric trolley cars.
Sir Robert Hart has been treasurer
general and chief commissioner of i'm
perial customs in China for many years
in spite of most determined intrigues
set on foot successfully by Russia,
France, and Germany. Sir Robert pos

Then there is M. Zig, the Swiss prime
minister of Menelek, emperor of ETH
opia and Negus of Abyssinia.
M. Ilg IS a Zurich man and is prac-
tically the only European who has re-
tanned the absolute confidence of the
emperor after the crushing defeat of
the Italians at Adowa. He is constant.
ly trying TO amuse his imperial master
and even when he goes home to his
beloved Switzerland he brings back
not only the latest scientific novelties
and weapons, ranging from an electric
milk churn to Mauser pistol, but also
budget Of notes and news from the
strange outside world.
He once told Menelik he had seen g
lion tanner so into a cage containing
two live lions. An ordinary enough
thing, yet Menelek wouldn't believe it
A discussion ensued and the emperor
told Ilg to bring the lion tanner from
Zurich to Adds Abbeba by way Of
leila, ond the Red Sea. The lion tanner
was at once communicated with, and
like the erterprising man that he. was
promptly sailed for Zeila.
Arriving at the Ethiopian capital, the

peror had caught no less than thirty
one magnificent lions in pits rount
