JEWS DID NOT CIU (1FV HIM.
He v.J. I'ciicrlielit Says That Ills People
lluve Keen I'ujustty Acciincd of Causing
tlio lietnh of Jesus.
Rev. J. Feueiilcht. Habbl of the Lin
den street Synagogue, read un udmlr
uble paper before the Methodist mlnlH
teiium, at Elm Park church, yesterday
morning, In which he gave two reasons
why the Jews, had been the victims of
t'ellgloiiH oppif'ssioti and persecution
for the past 1S0U years. It had been
said thuthu Jew'H bad cl'ucllled Jesus,
who Is culled the Christ und the Jew
wus branded as the Cluist-klller, and
with the mark of Cain upuu him bad
wandered during all the centuries, un
object of scorn und hut red. They were
further charged that by reason of their
law they bad drawn an Isolating race
line between themselves mid the rest of
the world. Iluth chnrges, be asserted',
were groundless and fulse. Jesus Christ
was held In the highest esteem and ven
eration by all Intelligent, modem Jews,
and as a sou of their people, they hud
the greatest respect for him, us he lived
u pure and holy life on earth, but they
believed that Jesus of Nazareth was
not the founder of Christianity In Its
present aspect.
If Jesus would rise again he would not
recognized Cliiistlunlty as the religion
which he and his Immediate disciples
practised. Jesus was it true and faith
ful sou of Israel, and be did not design
to change the religion In which he was
born and brought up. He referred to
Matthew v. 17 to I'l; Luke II. 42 and HI,
17, In support of bla contention. The
author of the present Christianity wast
Paul, w ho never knew Jesus In life, and
whose ideas and religious principles
differed widely from those of Jesus.
Jesus observed the law; Paul broke the
law. 'I'll- sneaker then gave several
apt Illustrations to nluv the differences,
in their opinions and teachings.
Jesus' dtath was not desired by the
Jews; to them he was not dangerous,
but he was to the Konian Emperor
und to the priests holding olllce under
him. It is not true thut the Jews cru
cllled Jesus, but even if some of them
had, It ts unjust to condemn all the
Jews. There may have been some
among the rabble ut Jerusalem who
cried aloud "Crucify him," but it Is
surely unjust to condemn the musses
of the people, among whom Jesus was
highly esteemed, und who would surely
have saved him from the hands of the
Romans, and tle-lr hirelings, the priests.
If they could. It Is a fact that the peo
ple hailed the entrance t)f Jesus Into
Jerusalem with "Hosannuh," und the
priests did not dare to lay hands on
him on the feust-day lest there be un
uproar among the people. That the
Jews did not crucify Jeaus could be
proved by the fact that the Jews bad
no right to penal Jurisdiction. Crucl
flcatinn was not a Jewish form of put
ting to death; it was Roman. Tha
Jewish code prescribed four methods
of death, stoning, burning:, throttling
and killing with the sword, all exe
cuted in the most humane manner pos
sible. Even If the Jews bad crucified
him, their dezcendanU have expiated
the crime a thousand times.
The reverend getleman then made nn
eloquent plea for tha removal of the
prejudice and hatred against the Jews
that still prevails In European countries
and to a great extent In this country.
He explained the Jewish belief as to the
reward and punishment in future life
and propheclcd that the Messiah would
unite under the canopy of universal
peace, the Jew", Christian, Moham
medan, HuddhiBt, and Uruhmen.

CONSTIIUTIJJF VENICE
It Kus Dwelt I'pun by T. Hudson
Shaw In His Third Lecture.
MOST CONSUMMATE OLIGARCHY
When Chosen, tlio Uogo Was as Absolute
.Monarch -Worked Well us Applied to
the Needs of Vcnlco-I.lfo und
Travels of Marco Polo.
The third lecture of W. Hudson
Shaw upon the "History of the Re
publle of Venice" was delivered ut
Young Men's Christian Association
hall last evening, to the largest audi
ence of tho Merles. It covered three
general divisions: (1) the origin, scope
and changes of the Venetian constitu
tion; (2) the life und travels or the
great Venetian globe-trotter, Marco
Polo; und :l) the struggle fur suprem
acy between Venice und (lenou.
Venice, for r.uo yeurs; that Is to nay,
from 12H7 to 1 7l7, was governed by the
most rniiHiinimutn ollgurchy that ever
assumed the functions of statesman
ship. First u liemocraey, In the sense
thut all the people bad u voice In
choosing the doge, who became, when
chosen, almost un absolute monarch;
Venice next gave Itself Into the keep
ing of the lioblllly of birth, us repre
sented In the descendants of the curly
Roman putriclan refugees who came
to the lagoon Islands when Attlla the
Hun had sacked their Tuscun homes
at Aqullela und Altinum und Padua;
and lastly, power was wreuted from
these hands by the new nobility of
wealth, which gained in strength In
direct proportion as the republic of St.
Marks gained in trade and riches.
Venice's Stuhle Constitution.
Home very interesting comparisons
were drawn, by the Hpeuker, between
this rule of un hereditary commercial
uiisUicracy, or Magglor Conslgllo us It
was called, and the constitutional gov
ernment of modern Englund. line
thousand men, und their descendants,
governed Venice, absolutely, without
material modification of the form of
that government for COO yeurs. The
Emrlund of today, on the other bund,
dates back no further than 1S.S3, when
by the extension of the franchise to
artisans and themlddlc classes, a quiet
but momentous overturning of the
spirit und olTect or the whole Hritish
constitution was effected. In fuct, no
other nation In the purview of history
auppllt-s such an Instance of constitu
tional Htublltty and Inflexibility as Is
supplied by the constitution of St.
Marks from the election of Pletro
Iradeiilgu ns doge, In l'-'S!t, down to the
extinction of Venice by Nupoleon In
the closing denude of the last century.
The majority of historians, Mr. Shaw
continued, have umlertiiken to con
demn the principles of this government
of the Venetian people. Hut while those
principles appear to clash with the pre
domliieiit Ideus of modern times. It must
be admitted, with due candor, that, us
upplied to the time and needs or Venice,
they worked wonderfully well. For the
greater part, the power usurped by the
aristocracy, although Jealously con
fined to Its few hereditary beneficiaries,
was wielded Justly, progressively and
to the distinct upbuilding- of the com
monwealth. Us mailed hand descended
rarely on the common people; in the
main, the injustices of rule by this
limited number were felt by would-be
competitors of illustrious lineage, who,
had they succeeded In their ninny plots
to wipe out the grand council, would
have lost no time In establishing a new
und parallel despotism In Its stead.
.Many Interesting Pictures.
The lecturer's narration of the lifeand
travels of Marco Polo and the condi
tion of Asia under the benignant sway
of the Mongol emporer, Kublal Khan,
wus most Interesting. Scarcely less o
was his description of the contest for
supremucy between Venice und Genoa,
ending most dramatically with the
providential return of the fleet of Carlo
JSeno on the morn of New Year's day,
PIM), Just In time to save Vlttor Flsanl
from surrendering Inglorlously to the
Genoese, entrenched nt Chloggla. At
the lecture's conclusion, numerous
views of pertinent Interest were pro
jected upon the screen, the most Inter
esting ones being those showing tho
Interiors of the grand council chamber,
the meeting place of the senate or
pregndl; the nssemblege room of the
college, or doge's cabinet, and the en
trance doors to the room of the dread
council of ten.

Colonel FitKslmmotis at noon stood
talking with Thomas Sultry, of the
North End, near the stairway leading

the pocket contained a revolver.
Whether the slender deputy's blow
lacked force or the colonel's face Is

bore no evidence of the smash.

Resolutions on Death of Key. A. J. Cordon
Passed by llnptist Pastors.
A well-attended meeting of the Scran
toii IJapti.-t Pastors' union was held
yesterday at Penn Avenue church,
when resolutions were unanimously
passed relative to the death of P.ev.
A. J. Uordon, I. V., who was pastor of
the Clarendon Street Uaptist church,
linstoli. The resolutions placed on
record its appreciation of the exalted
and saintly character of the departed
divine, his profound knowledge of the
Scriptures, his evangelical earnestness
for the salvation of souls, his example
of pastoral fidelity and eloquence, his
enlightened zeal for the cause of mis
sions and for all the best interests of
humanity: bis Invaluable contributions
to Christian literature and for the traits
which won for hlni an admiring love
which went far beyond the Immediate
circle of those who knew him per
sonally. The rt solutions conclude with the fol
lowing eulogium upon bis career:
"Rarely in our generation have the
pearly gates been opened to receive so
radiant a soul. He rests from his
abundant labors and his works do

loss to the denomination, to the cause
of missions, to the Christian world is
Irreparable. We mourn together with
