CLING FAST TO ANCIENT LAW.
Russian Hebrews Particular to the
Letter Of Their Faith.

Charity work among the Russian
and Polish Hebrews has some very
p. culiar features" says lady prom
inently identified with one of the lead
ing Jewish charitable associations OF
St. Louis.
THE Russian Jews are all of the or
thodox faith, and have many usages
that to other Jewish people seem
strange, sometimes unreasonable. For
instance the law of Moses says: Thou
shalt not seethe kid in his moth
er's milk and from this command.
which was probably intended to en-
phasize the sentiment of mercy. the
orthodox rabbis drew a long string OF
conclusions, which. in substance,
amounted to this. that milk or any
thing made with milk. ought not to be
eaten at the same time with meat or
anything made Of meat. and also that
cooking utensils. plates, dishes. even
knives. forks and spoons used for
meat. should not be used for anything
made with milk.
$50 we are compelled in the charity
missions where the children Of these
orthodox Hebrews are fed as well as
taught. to have two sets OF cooking
utensils, of dishes, plates. cup and
saucers. even Of spoons. in order to
conciliate the foreigners and induce
them to permit their children to at
tend. So firmly fixed are they In
this idea about the milk and meat.
that not Russian Hebrew would al
low his children to come near the mis-
sion unless he was assured that the
law would not be violated"

On the whole, the odds were much In

would be piously thankful to be rid OF

left only Marie Zerkovitch and the serv-

that any message would come from the
palace before noon at the earliest.

usual peaceful and simple course at

WHO OWNS MONEY
Left In Hands Of Receiver Of
Waiertowa Savings Bank.

s. Mclean Buckingham, receiver
of the defunct Watertown Savings
bank has quantity Of money on his
hands which may or may not turn
into dividends for those who were
depositors of the bank or into a num-
Der of law suits against him as re-
ceiver. 1t is probable that he will
to direct him in distributing the
money, for it seems to be question
with him to whom does 1t belong?
Does it belong to the stockholders,
or to those who were depositors of
the bank? The earning source of the
money was, of course the money
which belonged to the depositors, but
they have been all paid off in full,
minus their interest, and so far as
known the stock holders and the
officials have been paid their divi-
dends and their salaries and after all
this, there is more than enough to
pay the receiver for his services and
his counsel also. That is the interest
ing situation in which the receiver
finds himself: with more money on
his hands than he knows what to do
with.
The bank is square with all its
depositors, likewise it's. stock holders
and its officers and it has gone out of
practical existence. 1t closed its
doors some time ago when it's treasur-
er B. H. Mattoon was found to be
defaulter. The stock holders took
this course believing that the deposit
ors and the public would have no
more faith in it's safety vaults. And
now at the closing of series of law
suits that have left some of Nations
and some of his bondsmen without a
stick, the receiver finds himself with
a quantity of cash on hand and won
dering what he shall do with 1t.
When the Mattoon and Marggraff
properties which were sold yesterday
at public auction to satisfy some
judgments given against them in
favor of the bank, will have been
fully transferred to the new owners,
Receiver Buckingham will begin
some action to ascertain to whom the
money he has on hands after paying
off all claims, belongs. Next week
he expects to be able to make full
report of his receivership.
