JEWS IN JERUSALEM,
Their Condition Worse Than That of Any
of Their Race the World Over.

Their Condition Worse Than That of Any
of Their Race the World Over.
The Jews of Jerusalem have many
paupers among them and their con-
dition is worse than that of any of their
race the world over. The numbers
who have been forced here by persecu-
ton are supported almost entirely by
the different Jewish churches over the
world and the number of different de-
nominations OF Jews and Christians
who are so supported has made Jeru-
salem a city of mendicants. At certain
hours of the days bread is given away
al certain places and the people come
to these in crowds. The Jews them
selves in the fewest of cases change
their religion, but the different denom-
nations of begging Christians move
about from church to church as the
supplies rise and fall, just as the bad
boy changes his Sunday-school accord
ing to the prospects of presents at
time of Christmas. Such giving has
made Jerusalem the hot-bed for the
propagation OF beggars, and this is true
of other people than the Jews. The
number OF alms-takers among them has
made the Jerusalem Jews, as a class,
regardless of their personal ap-
pearance and they live in dirt and
squalor. l have visited great num-
ber of their houses; whole families live
in one cave like room of the size OF
hall bedroom with no windows, and
lighted only by the door at the front;
both walls and floor are of stone. There
is little furniture to speak of. There
is only bed or two for the grown
people and the rest of the family must
bunk on the floor. The kitchen is in
most cases little box just high enough
for the woman OF the house to stand
upright in nnd not more than three
feet wide and four feet deep. At the
back of this there is rude stove of
stone for the burning OF charcoal, and
somewhere in the catacombs, which |
make up the tenements OF a score OF
families, there is u well, which Is the
common property of all. On the door
posts OF each dwelling, whether 1t be |
of only one room or more, there is
tackled rolled up strip OF white parch-
ment six inches long on which is writ
ten the namo OF Jehovah and the ter
and every one of these
Palestine Jews wears the command
ments tied upon his arm under his
coat. They have in some cases ply
lacteries for their foreheads at time OF
and the most of them are very
deyout. They do not approve of wear
Ing any other than the Jewish dress,
and most Jews who come here adopt
the dress which / have described. IF

Still another theory of theesite OF
Eden is given by Chicago correspond
ent: / have read with interest the an
swers and correspondence on the above
question in your valuable columns. In
addition to the opinions already given
permit me to suggest the following:
The difficulty in fixing site of the
land OF Eden is to make it correspond
to the description given in Genesis,
which is either inspired or traditional;
l believe it is the latter.
AS the result of careful Investigation
would place the land of Eden north of
the Gulf of Mexico. including, at least
the States OF Louisiana and Mississippi.
The garden planted eastward in
Eden" was on the west bank of the
Mississippi and below the mouth of the
out of Eden to water the garden" was
the Mississippi, in the description called
the Euphrates, which after passing
through the garden, became into four
heads" The name of the first river
was "Pison" (the Arkansas) (which
compasseth the whole land of Havilah
(Kansas and Colorado), where there is
gold. bdellium and onyx stone" The
second river WAS "Gihon" (the Mis-
souri), (which compasseth the whole
land of Ethiopia. or Cush," (Missouri,
Iowa and Nebraska). The third river
was the "Hiddikel (the Ohio) which
goeth eastward to Assyria" Indiana
and Ohio); and the fourth is the 'Eu-
phrates," that "went out of (passed
through) Eden"
When Adam and Eve were "sent
forth from the garden" and "Cheru-
bin was placed ut the east OF the gar
den," they settled near the Yazoo river
in Washington county. Mississippi,
where the remains of their home may
still he seen. When Cain was about 1870
years old he left homo with his family,
two wives and their children, and went
to dwell in the ''land OF Nod, on the
east of Eden (Tennessee and Ken
tucky). where he built II city called
after tho name of his eldest son. Enoch.
The remains of this city exist ut the |
