DESCENDANT OF KING DAVID.
Demise OF n Philadelphia Woman
who Traced Ninship to Jewish
Family of Abarbancl.

A lineal descendant of King David
died in Philadelphia recently.
Mrs. Gustav Lipschuetz was her name.
She lived with her husband and five
children on Diamond street, but death
came in ST. Luke's hospital, where she
had undergone an operation. She was
SO years of age.
history this woman could trace her kin
ship TO the distinguished Jewish family
Abarbanel, whose relationship TO King
David is undoubted and whose achieve
ments throughout Europe are matters OF
history.
Mrs. LipscheutZ, whose maiden name
was Bertha Neumann, sprang from that
branch of the family of which Don Isaac
Abarbanel, prime minister in Spain in
1892, was the head. During that time
when persecution against the Jews be-
gan as a result of the change in the re-
ligious views of Ferdinand and Isabella,
Don Isaac was obliged to flee with his
less favored brethren. The family scat
tered, settling in various parts of Ell
rope Don Isaac afterward became
prime minister In Italy.
The grandfather of the dead woman
was Rudolph Hirsch Abarbanel. one OF
the foremost 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

Corn Forty Year. Old.

An Indiana farmer will exhibit at the
St. Louis worlds fair corn which has
been in his possession for 40 years. The
cereal, in spite of its age, is in splendid
state Of preservation. and all this time
has been kept in an ordinary corn crib.
If corn improved with age, as wine does,
this collection would be very valuable
by this time. 1t Is not often that farm
ers keep corn very long nowadays. The
demand for feeding purposes and the
temptation to convert 1t into cash at
market are too much; besides, there
would be no advantage In storing away
corn Indefinitely unless for the purpose
OF ascertaining how long 1t would keep

TRAVELS OF A HALF DOLLAR
In the Course of Nineteen Years N
Marked Coin Was Twice
Heard From

In August 1884. George Sizer. of
Harrodsburg. Ky, was run over by
the chemical engine and received in
Juries that proved fatal. Ten years
after his death letter addressed to
him was turned over to his mother.
Mrs. Mary Sizer. 1t was written by
a gentleman in New York, who stated
that he had come in possession of half
dollar with the name George Sizer.

IL 1T was CT az value 10 hin to send
% cents and he would return the coin
with the name on it.
Mrs. Sizer was quite i'll at the time
and the letter was never answered.
The coin is still in circulation, for a
few days ago another letter came here
addressed to George Sizer 1t was
dated Baltimore. Md, November %
1908, and was written by Miss Iren,
Yorks. She stated that her company
was filling an engagement at a theater
in that city and two nights before
some admirers of her histrionic ac-
complishmentS had tossed several
coins on the stage, and among them

would send the coin
This letter was also given to Mrs.
Mark Sizer, and she has sent so cents
to Miss Yorks with a request that she
send her the piece of money with her
dead sons name on it. A singular
thing in connection with Miss Yorks'
letter is that it is dated November 81,
the nineteenth anniversary of Mr..
Steers death.

MARYLAND LEADS OFF.
Oranges of That state support Ma
tionaI Demand for Federal Aid
in Road Building.

The state grange OF Maryland is the
first OF the state oranges to follow the
National grange in demanding that the
government aid in improving the high
ways. AT a fully attended meeting in
Baltimore recently a strong resolution
on this subject was adopted, and Master
]. b. Ager In his annual address said:
There seem to be great interest at this
time all over the state in regard to good
roads Ii is sale that the government
mas expended $500 900 900 in improving
the rivers and harbors and proposes to
spend $500 ,OO0 900 in building the 18TH
milan canal. Therefore We believe some
thing should be appropriated to assist
the farmers in building permanent high
ways.
According to Secretary Wilson's re-
port the farmers have aided the govern
ment very materially. Discussing the
balance Of trade, the secretary says that
the favorable balance of trade to the
credit Of this country is due entirely
20 the farmers. The balance Of trade in
the farm products during the last IA
Pears, no year excepted. aggregated s4.-
sos ,6tO zee in prooucts, Other than the
farm products during the same period.
ehe balance of trade WAS adverse to this
country to the extent of $865 900 ,000.
Our farmers not only Cancelled this i'm
mense obligation, but placed So $40 ,00O,-
zoe to the credit of the nation, when the
books of the international exchanges
we're balanced. He concludes that 1t is
the farmers that have paid the foreign
eondholders. Now, why should not the
government aid the farmers in the con-
struction of roads? V IS shown by care
sul estimates that It cost $500 900 900 to
haul the products of the farm TO railway
stations, rivers and canals. which is
vastly more than ii costs to maintain
2oO.000 miles OF railway, and by careful
estimates tie cost could be reduced one
half. have TO doubt that on some roads

Just a Little Advance Over the Pre-.

Cotton, after re,apses for sundry days

sets up just little bit.
One bale did it, one lonesome bale that
boldly tackled The market here. 1t
struck for Il higher price than the day
before and got Ii cents apound for its
weight. A year ago 20 bales We're sold

c;day and the figures now mark H40,
having regained the 10 points lost the
previous day. The future market sec
sawed up an. down but the day closes
with prices up q little on those with
which it began.
It is the opinion of many that cery soon
the famine in cotton will begin to pinch,

left Will so much in demand that prices
will go up. 1t certainly looks as ii this

CONFESSION.
Last Nights Sermon at the TaberDa-

interest Is manifested at each meeting
The chorus choir was led by Mr.. ]. II

DR.. Bruner preached from the text: Ell
we confess our sins, He is faithful and
Just to forgive us our sins list John l:9
There are two kinds of confessions of
sins, he said. First, the confession of
ones sins before men openly; secondly, Sc
cret confession, in which he never let's men
know Of the trust and belief in God. Pha-
raoh confessed his sin to Moses because of
fear. Men often are led 10 their confess
sion with the result of a returning to sin
and a hardening of the heart. Then there
is the confession of the hypocrite where
he does not mean what he contesses.
Balaam confessed God and his sin, and
yet in his heart he would curse God S
chosen people King Saul was man of
great opportunity, and yet was a sad tali-
are He made false confession before
God and the PEOPLE. And then there is
the death-bed confession, a confession IN
which / have very little faith. | heard
brother minister say that in his pastorate
l.e had witnessed ninety-scven confessions
on what was supposed to be death beds.
These afterwards recovered with the re-
suit of only two OF the ninety-seven re-
naming faithful to their confession. In
my own ministry 1 have witnessed near
~ dozen similar confessions, and not
over half were faithful Again there is
the confession of despair. The confession
Of Judas was CT this kind. People who
have committed great sins or crimes make
this confession when they realize that
their misdeed is about to be uncovered, Tor
sin will out. Finally, there is the con-
fession of blessedness. The confession of
David in the 5tst Psalm and also that of
the Prodigal Son on his return to his
father are such confessions. This is the
full open confession of the penitent sinner
in which God gives full, blessed pardon.
At the conclusion of the sermon there
were number of requests for prayer and
two confessions.
Tonight there will be a song service,
followed by short evangelistic talk by

kept a current of air going down TO the
imprisoned diver in the small hope that
some life might still remain in the
body, even under such a terrible strain.
The body was released today after Diver
Rice had gone down a shaft under water
60 feet and repaired the original break in
the pipe. The time occupied by Kicc in
stopping the flow of the water and the
suction that was holding the big hall in
place was about eight hours. 1t is beiev-
ed that if the plan finally adopted had
been followed when it was first found that
Hoar was caught fast between the pipe
and the ball, the mans life would have
been saved.
An examination showed that Hoars legs
had not been broken. The body was in
good condition and contrary to expecta-
ton the fact wore calm expression.
