JERUSALEM Old Cites ol' the Hol; London ? .'Thc view of Jerusalem is the his tory of the world,'' PO wrote Disraeli early in thc nineteenth century, and bc j added, "It is more, it is tho history of earth and ci' Heaven ;" and u-day in Jerusalem an epitome of all the nations is presented and a strange world is to bo studied within the wal)? of Zion. The walls arc still a glorious fact, and most impressively do their ruddy, tawny hastions and embattled summits tower up against the deep blue of the sky as we descend thc Val- j ley of Ilinnom, theuce to ascend to the Jaffa ??ate, where is the only break in the mighty wall, that ugly rent tom open betwixt the Tower of jDavid aud the Jaffa Gate to allow the cavalcade of "Kaiser Wilhelm II" to enter. But, in spite of this rent, the scene in the Jaffa (?atc is full of life and color. Bread and cake and fruit sellers, in colored robes, are clustered round its pillars and under its vault Jews, in round, flat hatB, bound with fur, and in purple robes of velvet and silk, are hustled by ragged Bedouins in gray and brown patched robes. Turkish officials in tae regulation fez halt before a ruddy pile of pomegran ates at the arch. A Jew in yellow robe, with black velvet hat, passes in as some Persians io red sheepskins hustle past a lemon seller, who is crouohed by a pile of his yellow fruit smoking his hubble bubble regardless of trade. Negro porters in gay rags elbow women, veiled and unveiled, and make v. -y for an ass led by a shepherd in brown robes, with a half-veiled woman seated on its back. A continuous oome and go, everywhere chatter and shouting, no two figures alike in form or oolor. Women in rich garments and girls with open-breasted ;obes balancirg water vases on their heads. And in side the gate rises up the massive base of the solid Tower of David. Turkish soldiers are patrolling near, for just beyond is the citadel. But let us turn up a nsrmw way to the left. Lying at tho corner of a great house is tho naked body of a poor wretch, a brown piece of sacking thrown over his loins; he awaits alms, but makeo no sign. A Roman priest passes by, then a Greek priest and a man in a brown robe on a little ass ; then a woman, all veiled, olothed in white from head to foot, save her black face veil. THE EVER VARYING CROWD. Such is the ever-varying, quiok, eager, smiling crowd, so full of oolor, so ever-changing, as we penetrate, doubling on our steps, down through the busy David's street on into the Mohammedan street, where dark shadows aro throws by the arahes and the brilliant colors are softened by the shade. The stranger can soon learn to thread his way amid the narrow, tostuous streetB that intersect Jerusa lem. The city is so small that, lose one's self as one easily may repeated ly, the outer walls must soon be reached. If wo enter by the Jaffa Gate on the west, the broad Temple area lies to the eaBt and soon blocks the route around to the eastern walls, and so, as we bear io the north, a con tinuous narrow thoroughfare io struok, below which, far down beneath the accumulation of ages, runs rhe pave ment of the "way of pain" trodden by the feet of Christ. There is a spot where to-day that actual pavement m?y be seen, but to get to it one must enter into a house and descend many steps; and then, some twenty feet below the present street, are seen the broad level Blabs of the Roman pavement. One of the Sisters of Sion, to whom the house belongs, points out the Binaren of a game scratched on one flat stone, and this, being near a low aroh, suggests that a good deal of waiting had to be endured here, and so the wearied waiters had soratched out this plan of a game to while away their time. There is a niohe as for a figure or seat at the arch, snd a portoullis-like groove slit in tho natural rock. This is supposed to be, and with fair -grounds for the supposition, the site of Dilate thc Governor's house, and so the lator arch in the street above is called the "Ecce Homo" arch. The terr bio obstacle in Jerusalem to the study of holy and historio sites is the passion for building over these sites, and to-day that evil is increas ing. Every seo don ol'' the Christian Church-Russian, Greek, Armenian, Roman, (with all its.various sections,) Coptio and the various Protestant na tions-is trying to secure some his torio or legendary.site; and, this sc oured, up goes a building destroying tHe natural configuration of tho site, absolutely obliterating the associa tions that the scone would call up if left untouched. Well may a modern writer exclaim, oven of St. Helena: "What right had even the ancients to ; IT IS TO-DAY. y CH j Being "Buried. Standard. build a Chursb herc?" To day the Russians are the most aggressive. In 530 A. J). Thoodoeius counted twenty six Churches on the Mount of Olivet-, but they were uot such mighty build I in^-.i as the Kassians arc erecting there to da;, with all thc glare of colored an?i L'ilded domes; and ou the summit of thc in o a :it rises their ? rout high t ?wi r that dominates thc whole coun try around. While bathing in thc Dead Sea I looked up and lhere, in the .-ky, as it were, was this peaked Rus sian tower. These new buildings on the Mount of (Mives are all additional to the ^reat walled s.juarc of itUbsian building outi-ide thc wall or. the Jafia Hoad. GOLGOTHA. Thc last place to have been walled around is that little hill "ist outside the Damascus Gate, still called Golgo tha by the Jews. It is no longer pos sible now to climb up this little hill and look back to the cast on thc Mount of olives and away to Mount Sion on the southwest. This site, where Gordon claimed that Christ suf fered, was almost, until to-day, free from all building as in His age, and free from superstitious rite and false legend. The Garden tomb beneath it is still unspoiled, although the custo dian has his little house in the Gar* den. One pays a small fee to look into this rock-cut tomb, and, be it the tomb of Christ or not, it is, indeed, a tomb of that period, beneath the hill that answers so minutely to the dc ' scription of the hill of Calvary. Here is no incessant chatter of professional prayer, no tricky decorations of the lamps of fighting sects, nor those aw ful deceptions of holy fire coming forth from the rock, or such statements hurled at the would-be reverent as "through this crack the blood of ! Christ trickled '". .wu on to the head of Adam who wa. b, ried just under and awoke him." Is there no means of securing that this little hill and this tomb may be saved from such desecra tion? The Moslem Government of to day is less strict in forbidding the en trance of Christians to their own sa cred places than in former times. Now ono can enter the Dome of the Rock and descend into the Crypt of El Aksa, down amid the foundations of Solomon's Temple, where bnt a few years ago it was almost impossible for a Christian to penetrate, and in a talk with Jussurf Psoha Alkhalidy, who may bo termed the mayor of Jerusa lem, and who is also the deputy for Palestine, I learned much of the be ginning of eduoation in the Holy City. He told me that thero were three or four Moslem schools in Jerusalem, and that, if clever, the poorer children could rise, and, through the mission schools founded by the various seats, advance themselves. The Moslem placed no obstacle in the way of such advancement, although I laughingly said there seemed to be enough mis sions in Jerusalem alone to prosely tize the whole of the East. The Be douins, he said, were still impervious to education; they had none. About CO per oent of the Moslomo in Jerusa lem learned the Koran. How little this might meau1 know from seeing the Kuttabs, or schools, in Cairo, where only the Koran is taught, but at least all this proves that to-day the fanaticism of the Moslem is lessened, and he is mere nearly carrying out the teaching of Mohammed to respeot and reverence Christ as a prophet. One may wander about Jerusalem and around its walls without fear of evil. And bow impressive it is to stand out side the north wall, facing the double towers and embattled walls of the Damasous Gate, in the early morning light, the pieroing sun just climbing over the Mount of OHve61 AT THE GATE. A crowd of Bedouins, and Nubians, and Moslems, with camels, and asses, sheep, goats and horsemen, are clus tering at the gate. We pass through them and into the outer tower; a Tur kish officer and his guard dash through; we jump aside, as does every thing, to let them pass, and then go in through the narrow streets, makiog our way past the great Temple area, halting as one ever must in passing, to listen to the constant hum, as of a vast swarm of bees, at the Jews' wait ing place; it is the hum of prayer be neath the heavens against that an oient wall, a strange, pathetic sight that we reverently leave and pass on through an open space, partly shut io by tho gigantic prickly pear, and so we come to the little gale on the southern side of tho city. Wd stop to pass out of this little square gate, whioh is liko tho Needle's Eye Gate, now shown at the foundations of the Russian Church within the walls, and outside we \look down the Valley of IlioDom nu <>ur ri*fht, and as wc turu . to thc left, round by thc towering j walls of the Temple area, *.ve look into the deep silt of the Valley of J chose phat. At evening in the half light, when the new Kussian Church at the foot of the mount and the great tower ou the hill are but dimly aeeo, it is weil to wander down into the valley, to cross the brook Kidron-a bridge now spans the stream's bed-and then, but a little way, the hill can be climb ed to Gethsemane, not now, as Tan creo saw it, au open garden of olives, but a walled-in space, with painted re liefs of stations of the Cross, and a I'ranciscau monastery keeping guard over thc locked up Garden. Hut tho venerable olive trees, of enormous size und age, ar?' very real, and full of in tense meaning. The view around is shut out by the wull. but outside that wail one can climb up to a ruin of an Old fort, just where the view of the city bursts on the eye of those who have come over the mount from Beth any. Again, half the view is blocked by a modero building: yet from the old fort vail one looks out over Jeru salem of to-day, here where tradition asserts that Christ wept over it. What a glorious beauty there is 'bc scene; of what terrific import were the events enacted there! Before us is Mount Sion and the Temple, thc whole area of the city of David, and below us Gethsemane and Golgotha, with all the lessons the world has not yet learned. Jilted, She Kills Herself. Richmond, Va., May '20.-Helpless, hopeless and alone, Mrs. LulaB. Har per, about 85 year-, old, made prepa rations for death in a pouring rain at Reservior Park and drowned herself in the lake, where the water was only three and a hal? feet deep. On the bench nearby was her hat, a pocket book, comb and a bos of toilet pow der. Thone the park officials found early this morning, and in the pocket book was this note: "Whoever should find my body, don't make any inquiry about me. I am a stranger in this oity. Have been in Richmond two months. I am all alone; no parents, no friends snd just heartbroken. I aro aware of the great sin it is for self-murder, but I am in such a worry I cannot stand it any longer. The 50 cents left in my pocket book, just buy a sheet and wrap me mit." The woman's body was found in the clear water of the lake eight feet from the shore. There was no marks on the body, and all the evidences go to prove deliberate suicide, and the coroner so decided. The woman came here from Norfolk, and so far as can be learned, was from Ohio. Some months sgo she address ed a letter to the Lee Camp Soldiers' Home inviting correspondence, with a view of matrimony. It is said a proposal of marriage from one of the veterans was the result, and that he met ber at the train, but later deolined to oarry out the agreement. She was frail of body and apparently in poor health. One of the shoes she had on was extremely high, while the other was low, showing that she had a de formity, or one limb was shorter than the other. She was first brought to the atten tion of the police several weeks ago, when it was reported that she had concluded to kill herself, and an officer oalled on her and advised her against even the contemplation of suoh an act. She had written a let ter to the man who had negotiated marriage with her and told him of her purpose. He also received two let ters from her this morning, whioh were turned over to the ooroner, one containing $3, probably ail the money she had, and a pair of gloves, evident ly sent as a memento. The body was neatly dressed. DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH. Cure Catarrh by Nature's Own Meth . od-Every Breath of Hyomei Brings Relief. Nearly every one who has catarrh knows how foolish it is to try and onre it by drugging the stomach. Tempo rary relief may be given, but a oure seldom comes. Until recently your physician would have said the only way to eure catarrh would be to have a ohange of olimate; but now with Hyomei you can carry a health giving olimate in your vest pocket and by breathing it a few minutes four times a day soon cure yourself. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can he oarried in the yest pocket, a medioine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle does not enre, an extra bottle of Hyomei oan be obtain ed for 50 oents. It is the most eco nomical of PM remedies advertised for the oure of catarrh, and is the only ono that follows nature in her method of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. ? / j Evans Pharmtoy have sold a great miny Hyomei outfits and the more they sell the more convinecd they are that they . are perfectly safe in guar anteeing to refund the money if Hyo mei does not cure. -When a worn aa has aoted the very worst she knows how there is soaxeely any way to mollify her indignation ex c^pt to make a humble apology to her. Killed hy a Mule. Newberry, May 21.-Mr. Horace Brown, a young farber of the Ash fords Ferry Hection of this county, met a horrible death late yesterday afternoon. He was ridiog home fron the field after a day's work when the mule be came frightened and made a lurch and Mr. Brown was thrown to the ground. In the fall hiB foot caught in the gearing and he was dragged by the frightened mule until life was extinct. It ?B thought that Mr. Brown, when he had finished his work in the field, had taken the mule to a spring for water and was on his way to the house from the ?pring. He was riding side wise. The mule became frightened at a dog and very easily threw Mr. Brown j on account of his position on its back. The gearing which had been used in plowing was on the mule's back and it was in it that Mr. Brown's foot caught. He was dragged along a rocky road to his horne and into thc lot and then out of the lot agaiu. The mule, still dragging the un fortunate man, was finally stopped by a negro man. Mr. Browu was dead. ' Mr. Brown was about 25 years old. ; He is survived by a young wife and a cl lld.-Special to Thc State. . Negroes Lynched Man. Weldom, N. C., May VJ.- A negro tramp was lynched at Seaboard, X. C., last night by a crowd of his own race, who swung him up for an assault upon a seven year-old colored child. A policeman was on his way to jail with the man who ?ave his name as Dick Whitehead, when he was over taken by an infuriated mob of blaoks, who tore the prisoner from the officer's buggy and hanged him to a nearby tree. Bean th* It? Kind You Hiw Always Bought Signatare of Best Way to l'huit treen. "Planting" trees and "setting them out" are generally understood to mean the same thing, lut there ia a differ ence. The expert knows there are certain rules that govern the growth and life of a newly planted tree. The novice doesn't, know and he simply sets the tree in a hole, ?hovels ic the dirt and trusts to luck and Providence to do the rest. In setting out trees the holes uhould be dug large enough to spread the rootu out in their natu ral positions. If thc soil or the sub soil is clayey, sandy or poor, some good soil should be thrown into the hole-five or six inches deep, at least -on which the tree roots should be placed. Then shovel on a little fine dirt at a time, gently working the tree up and down so as to sift it well I among the small roots. As soon aa the roots are covered puck the earth with the feet, being careful not to bruise the bark of the tree. Do not set the tree any deeper in the ground than it was before. Before planting take a sharp knife and cut off all bruised or broken root extremities. Tho tree should also be trimmed or, as it is termed, "cut back"-that is, the long branches j should be shortened a foot or more, according to their growth. Pile up the earth around the tree a little big ger than thc surrounding surface. Do not do this in a conical shape, but level it off, otherwise the rains will run off and the newly planted tree will not receive sufficient moisture. After a while the earth will settle even with the surface. Never put ou BO little dirt that there will be depres sions around the tree trunks to gather and hold water. In the country the aim is, as far as possible, to set out trees whose products will be valuable, suoh as fruit and nut trees. Such trees are attractive in foliage and thus possess both beauty and utility. They are far greater value than trees which are prized only for their hand some appearance.-Baltimore Sun.
