filed is at hand, and one curious tribe from
Southern Arabia claims to have received
revelation that they must leave their desert
cbuntry and come back to Palestine. These
Jews have lived in Yemen Arabia for the
past 800 years. They are of the tribe of
Cad and they left Palestine 700 years before
Christ was born. They are bringing with
them many valuable old documents which
pkove their origin and not a few of them are
etyaged in agriculture near Jerusalem. The
secution of the Jews in Russia and
-kustria is driving many of them here and
there are large numbers of Polish and Span
ish jews in Jerusalem.

of the people of this part of the East. He
says that the removal of the restrictions on
Jewish immigration has taken place during
the past three or four years. and that when
he came here it was the policy of the foreign
governments represented at Jerusalem TO
aid the Turks in expelling the Jews. He
was advised shortly after his arrival that
some American Jews were overstaying their
three weeks time in Palestine and was re-
quested to direct them to leave. He re-
piled that such acton was entirely contrary

dition of the city has been greatly i'm
proved. There is still room, however, for
further advance in this direction, and the
side streets are filled with garbage and
slops, and you now and then find dead
dog or cat in a state of putrid decompo-
sltlon. The Jerusalem outside the walls is
now almost as large as the city within, and
l am told that land has risen to such an
extent that the holy city may be said to
have a real estate boom. In the Medi-
terranean Hotel where am stopping, there
is card advertising a fine farm tor sale
between Bethlehem and Jerusalem, and
learn that along the Jaffa road, just out
side of the gate, property has gone up
within a year or so several hundred per
cent. One piece which belongs to a
charitable institution was bought short
time ago for $500. 1t is now worth $50, 900
and cannot be bought for that amount. A
telegraph line now runs from here to the
sea coast and railroad company has been
organized to build line from Jaffa to

drove out to Bethlehem, which lies an
hours ride from here. yesterday, and I
found telegraph poles planted on the plains
where King David fought the Philistines,
and running up the hills where the shep-
herds watched their focks when they saw
the wonderful star. On the same grouid
to-day the turbaned Bethlehem shepherds
OF the nineteenth century are minding their
sheep; and as 1 looked at their rough forms
clad in sheepskin coats, I wondered
whether the bright star of the electric light
might not some time appear in their own
little town and on the tower of David,
which looks down upon them from the
Jerusalem of to-day. Bethlehem has many
new houses. There is good road now to
Hebron, and the day will probably soon be
when you can travel over the Holy Land in
carriage. Jerusalem. for the first time in
its history, has police force. and its order
is now as good as that Of New York. 1t
has fairly good hotels, and the town is
awakened every morning by the bugle call
of the modern Turkish band. The Ameri-
can flag floats from the roof OF the Consular
building on the top of Mount Zion, and YOU
find on its streets travellers from all parts OF
the world. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

Deuce Low rolled over on her back, and

proceedings had taken an uninterestingly
usual turn.
''That's generous" and Will Brown
laughed.

transferred the silver coin from palm to

=, Zone now, and my word of honor, sir, for

Will Brown laughed again, and clasped
one of the fists in his own. ''The dollars in
this one, of course" he confidently de-
clared.
But it was not. The opened hand was
empty, and from the other the dollar slipped
into the deft palmer's pocket.
VIII Brown had obtained, at the cost Of
only dollar, the information that Jack
High was professional rogue. The Young
gentleman's habitual politeness was in
stantly at a strain under which it was in
danger of giving way. and thereupon, if the
job of kicking the rascal out of the camp
seemed repulsively rude, he might request
the less heedful workmen to perform it in
his stead. The company of Hnemen, team
sters and diggers were just then coming from
the point where their days work had ended.
Deuce Low arose as she saw them approach
ing, and the movement drew Wills eyes
away from the object Of irritation to one of
admiration.

mense cost of their maintenance, to say
nothing of the admitted princely profits, are
to certainty paid for BY the visitors. That
should be enough 10 deter anybody from
playing with view to escape the almost
inevitable expenses of the diversion.
The club managers do at least indulge in
one periodical exploit of humbuggery.
Whenever an inordinately heavy loss is
sustained by q guest, it is followed by
fictitious instance Of heavy winning by
mythical outsider. That has happened
every year or two since the clubs were
opened. The latest of these occurrences was
last month when the recklessly profigate
George Law lost over $50, 900 In a single
night at the Pennsylvania Club, and that
was followed within a few days by an al
together fanciful account OF almost equal
winnings by millionaire Jim Reschler, of
Denver, ex-senator Tabor's old partner in
sthe Little Pittsburg mine" A feminine
Long Branch correspondent, who possibly
may have believed what she wrote, gave
this piece of fiction to the world. The club
men declare its truthfulness, but I have
found upon investigation no shadow of sub
stantiality in 1t. Senator Tabor writes to
me that there is no Jim Reschler. 50 far as
he knows. A persistent search of hotel
registers at Long Branch reveals no such
name. trustworthy witness of the alleged
play cannot be found. and the whole matter
was,s concoetion intended to offset George
Laws losses in public attention.
PARAsoL FLIRTATIoNs.
The girls at Long Branch average well to
the eve in dress and department. They are
not displaying themselves in the surf as
much as hitherto, and instances of in
decorous bathing costumes have become
scarce. Equestrianism is their favorite
sport What is called parasol Irritation is a
new indulgence, and it consists of holding
their gay sunshades thus, or twirling them
so, with intricate meanings for Irritation in
each movement. A more or less well de-
fined code of signals is in use, just as fans
and handkerchIefs have been employed in
that way. Dancing in the barn" is the
seasons terpsichorean innovation here, as at
other watering places. 1t is quite ballet
like departure in round dancing, and, for
display of grace or awkwardness, as the
case may be, it has never been surpassed in
summer hotel parlors.
For the dandies it is to be said that they
are truly sweeter than the girls in the matter
of costumes. They have taken to navy caps
and white flannel suits, with colored sashes
and canvas shoes brilliantly dyed. They
are simply gorgeous. KAMERA.

given their business over to their sons and
who live here upon an allowance from them.
The Jews of Jerusalem have some poor
among them, and their condition is worse
than that of any of their race the
world over. The numbers who have been
forced here by persecution are supported
almost entirely by the different Jewish
churches over the world and the numbers of
different denominations of Christians also
who are so supported. have made Jerusalem
a city of mendicants. At certain hours of
the day bread is given away at certain
places and the people come to these In
crowds. The Jews themselves in the fewest
of cases change their religion, but the diff
ferent denominations of begging Christians
move about from church to church as the
supplies rise or fall, just as the bad boy
changes his Sunday school according to the
prospects Of presents at time of Christmas.
Such giving has made Jerusalem a hot-bed
for the propagation of beggars; and this is
true of other people than the Jews
THE wAILING PLACE.
One of the great sights of Jerusalem is
the Jews wailing place where every Fri
day certain sects meet on the outside OF the
walls of the Mosque of Omar which occu-
pies the site of Solomon's temple, and with
their heads bent against the stones sorrow
over the loss of Jerusalem and pray God
to give the land back to His chosen people.
This custom has been observed since the
days of the middle ages, and it is one of the
saddest sights. Visited it last week. In
narrow alley surrounded by miserable
houses-on stone flags which have been worn
with the bare feet of thousands of Jews
against a wall of great blocks of marble,
which reached for 90 or more feet above
them, long line OF men in long gowns and
of women with shawls over their heads
stood with their heads bowed praying and
weeping. Many of the men had white
boards. and the long curly locks which fell
down in front of their ears were of silver.
