GOSSIP OF THE COURTS

Some one has said that i'm the his.
tory OF Lombard street lies the history
OF London. This. to a great extent, Is
true. For centuries past Lombard
street has been practically the hub
Of the money market of London, and
where the money is one usually finds
the people who make history.
The name Lombard Is derived from
"Longobards" or Lombards, the long
bearded men who. coming from the
north OF Italy about the thirteenth
century supplanted the Jews. who
from the Norman conquest were Lon.
dons great money lenders. The sigr
OF the three golden balls was first
used by the Lombards, the forerun.

emblem OF 81. Nicholas, the patron
saint Of citizens, merchants and mari.

It was with those Lombards that
Edward 1T and Henry literally
pledged their crowns and Jewels Il

minated In Crecy and Agincourt. They
were, moreover. the accredited fnan-
cial agents TO the papacy, collecting
and renting TO Italy the moneys
gathered from English benefces held
by foreigners and other ecclesiastical
claims.
To them the Londan Of this day
owes good part Of It's financial vo.

nal" ledger" and diary" They also
introduced the use of the letters lire
soldi and denari (the modern pound

Among the famous gOldsmiths that
lived i'm Lombard street were Sir
Thomas Gresham, who built the first
royal exchange and gave It to the city
I'm 1868, and also endowed Gresham
College: Sir Robert Vyner who made
Charles It's crown at cost of 1000
pounds. and Edward Blackwell. who

most of nobility and to the East India
Company.
Among other curious facts, the first
London directory was issued in Lom-
bard street by Sam Lee. who in 1877
had shop at the sign of 'The Feath-

side the town are some earthworks
which formed the military encamp-
nent of Edward the Elder. King OF
the West Saxons" sons of Alfred the
Great, when he assembled his fighting
men TO repel a threatened invasion

are believed 10 be early British, and
we're selected by Edward as more suit

struggling little town.
Later on Witham passed into the
possession of Eustace Of Boulogne

tho Knights of st. John. The place
also has an interesting ecclesiastical
history, going back to Norman times
There are many quaint gabled struc-
lures in the mlin street, and several
old inns with spacious courtyards that
remind one of the old flumbering
coaches of bygone days. The town
treasures several interesting relics
including some Roman titles, old fun
eral helmets, and the arms of William
III, which at one time surmounted the
rood screen in the old church.

With great solemnty but simplicity
DR.. Hertz, the new chief rabbi of the
United Hebrew congregations of the
British Empire. was recently Installed
a. the Cathedral Synagogue of the
Anglo-Jewry in London. which is situ
ated In a narrow thoroughfare in one
OF the byways of Aidgate, and thus en-
tered upon his work of acting as lead
or and spiritual guide TO over mil
lion OF his co-religionists The install
lation ceremony was the final act of
procedure. lasting nearly two years,
for il was in July. 1911, that DR.. Her
mann Adler. the late chief rabbi. died,
and the task Of electing a successor
has been carried on ever since.
This prolonged procedure will be
easily understood when II rs explained
that the rabbinate conference. which
elect new chief rabbi. is composed
of Jewish delegates from all parts of
the British Empire This conference,
Immediately after the death Of the
chief rabbi meet to decide upon all
matters cOnnected with the official
duties of the rabbi and howrhis work
shall be carried on. Afterwards a sub
committee is formed for the purpose
OF discussing and deciding upon the
candates for the office
This is a particularly onerous duty.
f1r the chief rabbi must be a man of
extraordinary knowledge of Jewish
law. rights and interests. He has TO
guide the whole Jewish community of
the British Empire and thus il s OBJ
yicus that the task of the committee,
which meets 10 select likely candi-
dates. is not a light one. Heretofore,
forty or fifty delegates have met IN
various parts of the British Empire to
eject a chief rabbi. but in the case OF
Dr Hertz, there were upward OF a
hundred delegates congregated for the
purpose.
As in the case OF the Pope. the cleo
tion is conducted by ballot, which
was presided over in tho Or. Hertz
case by Lord Rothschild who, how
ever. was not allowed 10 vote or take
any more than a formal part in the
proceedings.
Il is a remarkable fact in conncc-
tior with the appointment of Dr.
Hertz to the chief rabbinate that he Is
hut the dfth to fill the office since the
return Of the Jews TO England under
Cromwell.

Some Fool Scheme

If everyone who is tempted to
invest his money in some fool
scheme would consult his banker
first, most Of these schemes
would be defeated. Their big
advertisements telling of i'm
mense dividends, their alluring
circulars informing the unwary
how easily $100 is transformed
into $1,000 have caught many
suckers during these prosperous
times and much money has been
taken out of legitimate channels
to line the pockets Of these graft
ers. Accommodating money by saw
ing and 5 per cent looks very
slow to most people and this is
where the man with his get-rich-
quick scheme comes in. It is far
better to be safe than sorry; far
better to have your few humid
reds only drawing 5 per cent
than not to have it at all. 1t may
be set down as a perfectly safe
propositien that anything offer
ing returns beyond those possible
in leet.' innate channels of business
is a fake. &c 1f something looks
good" to you come in c@a1d talk 1t
over with us. We may know
something about it which you
don and this knowledge is yours
for the asking. If it is all right
we will tell you SO and if it is all
wrong we will tell you that.
