shown eminently satisfactory. DR.. Rixey still
sees Archie two three times a day. but no
alarm is felt over the outcome of his case.
After DR. Rixie visited the White House to-
night he said:
Archie is getting along nicely. His condi-

alarm. Ihe other children Aavo been isolated

EMANUEL WON'T SELL
Trustees of Temple Reject Offer
of 50, 400 400.

The fact that an offer Of $3o000o0 had been
made for the Temple Emanu- Els property in
Fifth avenue and 43d street. caused some ex-
citement in real estate circles yesterday which
was not diminished by the news that the offer
had been rejected. member OF the ccngrega-
tion confirmed the report and said:
II know that many offers have been made for
the property. but none large as the last, and
know also that even a much greater sum would
be refused for the property not because we
think It worth more, but because 1t IS not. never
has been and probably never viii be. for sale
The congregation is the richest i'm the country
and its Income is much beyond its requirements
Consequently there is no reason why II should
part with valuable piece of property the

was in Chryst!e street. where a little Methodist
church had been purchased, and from a congre-
cation which had outgrown il and moved up

the congregation had been formed. but prior To
thar time its services had been held in an old
courtroom and in public halls rented for the
purpose The first rabbi Of the congregation
was the Rev Dr. Leon Marzbacher who was one
of the pioneers in the Reform movement among
the jews Of this country. Six years later an
other Christian church-this one a Baptist, I'm
12th street between Third and Fourth avenues
was acquired by the Temple. and that remained
its house Of worship until 1869, when the build
ing in Fifth avenue erected at a cost Of
about 100000. The architect Leopold Eid

best examples Of Moorish architecture i'm this

An Accident That Befell the Protertor
In Hyde Park.
AS Cromwell rose in power and rank

Whitehall. Certain it Isl adds the
narrator, that none Of the English
kings had ever any such"
The protector was not much of a
whip, however. In 1854 the Count Of
sOldenburg sent Cromwell a present OF
six horses, and the protectors anxiety
to make trial of their quality led to his
well known adventure in Hyde park.
On Friday, Sept. 20. he went with Sec
Rotary Thurloe and some Of his gentle
men to take ARR in the park, ordered
the six horses to be harnessed to his
coach, put Thurloe inside Of 1t and I'M

for some time. but at last, provoking
those horses too much with the whip
they grew unruly, whereby his high
ness was flung out of the coach box
upon the ground His foot getting
hold in the tackling, he was carried
away a good while in that posture, but
at last he got his foot clear and so
came to escape. He was presently
brought home and let blood and after
some rest taken is now well again. The
secretary, being hurt on his ankle with
leaping out Of the coach, hath been
forced to keep his chamber hitherto

The royalist Scroggs, afterward chief
justice, writing of this incident, hoped
that the next fall would be from cart

of horse racing 1t is difficult to arrive
at positive conclusion. His constant
aim was to possess as many good
horses as he could afford. Whether he
