Jew's Amazing Trip to Ober-Amme
iiua?Winning a Wager.
A tale of adventure and determin
tion that suggests the Middle Ag<
rather than our easy-going count]
could be told by a young Jew who
now probably somewhere in Franc
without coat or hat. but with a se
viceable cow-boy shirt to his back ar
a dusty old bycicie to help him c
his journey. His name is Harv<
Loeb, and he is going all the wt
from Philadelphia to Ober-Ammergi
on four shillings.
As may be guessed, the feat is b
ing done for a wager, with a genuii
self-help purpose behind it. Mr. Loe
who is 21 years old, is the son <
Russo-Jewish parents, who emigrate
to America some time before his birt
He has shown, it appears, remark;
ble grit and initiative ever since h
childhood. He has earned his ow
living in every sort of way, from d'
livering milk to sweeping out stable
He has even started his own fath<
in an aerated water factory.
All the time, however, like Barrie
John Shand, he has been "deserai
for books." While keeping himse
he has paid his own college fees i
the Philadelphia school of pedagog:
and it was here that the idea of tfc
trip to Ober-Ammergau took shapi
After a recent lecture on pr<
Shakespearean drama, conversatlo
happened to turn to the Ober-Ammei
w" Passion Plav and the cost (
reaching the Bavarian village. Loe
declared that he thought the journe
could be done on next to nothing, an
was prepared to prove it.
His fellow-students thereupon "pt
up" 100 dollars (20 pounds), whic
was to be his if he succeeded in toui
ing England, France and German:
and in visiting the Ober-Ammerga
Passion Play, without providing him
self beforehand with any more cas
than he had on him at that momoni
His pockets were duly turned on
and only 99 cents (4s) was founc
None the less Loeb accepted th
wagerer and started off forthwith.
His journey has proved anythin
but luxurious. He cycled to Bait:
more, and from there got a berth a
cattle tender on board a cattle shi
bound for Liverpool. The work o
board, Loeb confessed, was fearfull
hard and rough?4 o'clock till
o'clock at night?with food tha
would have been "an insult to th
fishes." Curiously enough he foun
? that no fewer than eight out of th
nine cattle tenders on board were coi
lege men like himself, working thei
passage over to the old world.
From Liverpool he came to Londo
on his own bicycle?a 7-year-old ma
chine, which he had managed to brin
with him over the Atlantic. One nigh

night with him while he told ther

there was "bread and work for all.
When he arrived in London he wa
practically penniless, and mad
straight for Whitechapel. A Jewis
woman helped him to a night's she!
ter at Rowton house, and the nex
morning he reported himself, coatlej
and hatlese, at the offices of the "Jew

was inquired into, and he was helpe
upon the journey to the continent.
Both the directors of the "Jewis
Chronicle" and from the officials c

doubt about the bona fides of Loe
and his story.
He is, it was averred, an extremel

r- State Board of Health Issues Bulletin
Valuable to Housekeepers.
a- Under the caption, "How to Keep
es Milk Wholesome,' the State board of
ry nealth in its bulletin recently pubis
lished on "Clean Milk in the Home,"
e, says that "immediately before milking,
r- the cow should be curried and the
id udder and teats washed with soap and
>n water, rinsed and wiped dry with a
?y clean, dry, fresh laundered towel; a
ty chain should be fastened across the
ia stall under the cow's belly to prevent
her from lying down until
e- milked.
le "The stable should be airy, should
b, be of one story only, witewashed inof
side as often as soiled and should
Mi have a water-tight floor, preferably of
h. cement, in the room used for milka
ing. Previous to milking the floor and
is walls should be made wet to keep
n dust down. There should be no loft
e- or anything else above the milking
s. room, but the roof, during milking
*r hours, and the doors and windows
should be closed.
's "The milker should be free from
te disease, particularly of the hands,
If nose, throat and lungs; he should not
it handle milk if he has sickness of
y, any infectious nature at his home.
ie "After cleaning the cow and
e. sprinkling the stable, he should wash

T Substitute for Cotton.
io
Now comes a reputed discovery
whereby cotton is to be made from
r_ the pulp of spruce trees. The invenlt
tion has just been explained before
the National Association of Cotton
' Manufacturers by the inventor, James
.S.
Hope, of Rouen, France. The product
of his invention is called "La
Soyeuse." The wood is first reduced
to cellulose and it is pressed through
holes into threads which can be
wound on spools or drums. It takes
er
dves verv well. What it will amount
ps
to in the end remains to be proven.
gFrobably
the product will be inferior
? to cotton and cost more.

MUTINY ON HIGH SEAS.
Five Youths in Baltimore Jail?Cla
Maltreatment as Excuse.
Baltimore, August 24.?Charg
with mutiny on the high seas, fi
Massachusetts youths were lodged
jail here to-day after having be
brought 3,000 miles to answer 1
their alleged crime. They are tV
liam D. Albert, of New Bedfor
Charles Mitchell, of Worchester;
W. Lillaya, of Lowell; Charles Tui
er, of Cambridge, and George Whi
of Somerville.
They reached this city to-day on t
revenue cutter Apache, to which th
were transferred last night from t
vessels of the midshipmen's pract:
quadron, on which they were broug
from the Azores at the request of t
United States consul. They had be
placed in his custody by Capt. Ci
velo, of the whaler Pedro Varela,
New Bedford. Also in custody ?
Jeremiah McCarthy and John
Haddock, likewise members of t
crew of the Varelo, who are held
witnesses. Haddock, the men chai
ed, say, was the ring-leader in t
affair which brought about the i
rests.
The specific allegations against t
men is that they disabled the Van
by mutilating the windlass and thro
ing it overboard, making it necessa
to put into port for repairs. T1
they acknowledged, adding that th
were brutally treated and inaduatt
fed and that their protest to Ca]
Crovelo was disregarded. The m
also say it was to compel the capta
to take them somewhere that th
mitrht crot hpttpr fnnri that thpv thr*
the windlass overboard. When t
windlass was found disabled, all t
men on watch were put in irons ai
so kept until Haddock and McCart
could make statements implicati
the men.
The latter are said to have be
kept in irons twenty-eight days un
their arrival at Fayal, Azores. T
men were given a preliminary hea
ing by United States Commission
Bond on board the Apache. T
Varelo sailed from New Bedford la
April for a two years' voyage.
