AMERICAN RABBIs.

The Central Conference of American
Rabbis, which has been in session in
Louisville, KY, adjourned yesterday
after choosing Cleveland for next years
meeting. The following officers were
elected:
Honorary president, Rabbi Kaufman
Kohler, Cincinnati; president, Joseph
KIauskopf, Philadelphia; first vice pres
ident, Joseph S. Tolse, Chicago second
vice president, Jacob Voorsanger, San
Francisco treasurer, Charles 5. Levi,
Peoria, III. recording secretary, Adolph
Guttmacher, Baltimore; corresponding
secretary, William Rosenau, Baltimore.
After strenuous debate on the ques-
ton of establishing synod, the con-
ference left the question open, to be
taken up at future conference.
The committee on contemporary his
tory made voluminous report on events
that have transpired since the last
conference. The report expressed sOr-
row over the Slocum steamboat disaster
at New York, and ordered that mes.
sage expressing sympathy be sent to
DR.. Haas, pastor of st. Mark Church.
The RussO-Japanese war was also
touched upon in the report, and re-
gret express at the loss to the world of
"the great aud good Pope Leo" The
remainder of the report paid tribute to
eminent Jews who died during the year.
Concerning the attitude of the Amer
lean Reformed Jews toward the Russo
japanese war, the report reads as fol-
lows: "Far be it from us to forget the
teaching of Scripture, which warns us
not to rejoice when our enemy falls. But
we shall impress our audience with the
great lesson that trannny is its own des-
trOyer. We shall further not fail to
make them understand that through the
proposed improvement in the condition
of the Russian Jews by allowing unre-
stricted residence within the border dis
trict, the misery Of our Russian breth-
ren will not be substantially alleviated.
1t may be that a sudden transition from
the present disabilities into full present
freedom while finally the only solution,
is for the present fraught with danger.
But, on the other hand, full freedom of
residence within the whole empire and
unrestricted access to the educational
institutions are the minimum of what
our cO-religionists are entitled to demand.
Let this message be spoken ont clearly,
both here and from every congregational
pulpit"

Rattlesnakes Loose.

Two Florida diamond back rattle
snake, among the largest ever seen
caused a small panic among attendants
of the snake house at the Geological
Park in New York day or two ago
when they escaped from their crate in
the receiving room and tried to strike at
every one in sight. Curator Ditmars
was not expecting anything in the
snake line this week, and when large
box arrived by express Monday from an
agent in Florida it was thought that
some of the long-expected river orchids
which had been ordered for the alligator
tank had at last arrived. Nothing was
done with the box until yesterday,
when Curator Ditmars and three of his
helpers went into the receiving-room
and started to unpack it. After the lid
had been pried off one end, man put
his hand down among the leaves and
moss with which the box was packed
aud began to feel for the plants.
Usually when rattlers arrive at the
snake-house their presence is known
from their constant rattling, but with
these snakes there was not single
rattle until the mans hand came in con-
tact with one OF them. The entire con-
tents of the box seemed to come to life
suddenly and became one large, kissing,
rattling mass of rattlesnakes. In about
three seconds two rattlers, each over
eight feet in length, slid out of the box
and cOiled up on the floor.
The snakes sprang at the Curator,
one of them falling short, but the other
managed to fasten his teeth in the cloth
of Ditmars's trousers but did not pene-
trate the flesh. They both coiled again
and started a series of springs such as
had never before been seen in the snake
house. The room was cleared in about
two minutes and the snakes were left
masters of the scene. Two long poles
with snares of wire at their ends were
procured and with great difficulty Cura-
tor Ditmars captured the snakes.
The snakes are about ten inches in
circumference at their thickest part.
Curator Ditmars, who has had long ex-
perience will all varieties of rattlesnakes,
says that they are the largest he has ever
seen and that bite from either of them
would probably mean death within
twenty minutes.

Murderer Lynched.

Thurston o. McGee. white, al Scranton,

ruary, was taken from the Atlantic Cost
Line train at Scranton yesterday even
ing and lynched. Williams narrowly
escaped lynching Immediately after the
killing and was spirited off to the peni-

and the mob was greatly enraged there
at. Last Monday Williams was taken
from Columbia to Kingstree, the county
seat, for trial. The result was mistrial,
and the sheriff thought it safe to send
him back to Columbia for safe keeping.
AS the train approached Scranton,
mob of lynchers, with blackened faces
and wearing masks, tagged it down with
a red flag and searched the train for the
negro, to the great terror of the passen-
gers. Finally they fonnd Williams and
ordered the sherifl's deputies to deliver
him up. This was refused, and scuf-
