MODERN JERUSALEM.
The City OF David as 1t Exists In the
Nineteenth Century.

The City of David ms II Exists In the
Nineteenth Century.
The town is as compact today as 1t
was when David thrummed upon his
harp and the tribes not only OF Pal
estine, but OF all the world, came here
to worship There are magnificent
monasteries scattered throughout che
city and on the very top of the Mount
OF Olives a great Russian church lifts its
dubious domes toward heaven. In the
Garden OF Gethsemane, where Christ
spent the night before he was crucihed,
there is a resting place for pilgrims,
and the Roman Catholics have 1900
brothers and sisters in their rmonasteries
and converts, while the old Armenian
church has big monastery near the
cato Of, Zion, which contains $50
monks, and which can accommodate
1000 pilgrims. There are Greek Chris
tians here by the thousands and there
are Syrians and Copts by the hundreds.
There are Abyssinian priests with faces
as black as your hat and you may see
every costume and hear every language
in the worsh ipers who gather around
the holy sepulcher. The Jerusalem OF
to-day is the Mecca Of millions OF souls.
II is TO hundreds OF millions the holiest
spot on the face OF the earth. And
among the others whom have met In
Palestine is the party Of American Ro-
man Catholics, the first pilgrimage
which has ever been made to the holy
city by band from the United States.
II is, above all, religious city, and,
stranger than all, it is again becoming
the city OF the Jews. The Jews are fast
coming back into Palestine, and the
Jews OF Jerusalem, who now make up a
large part OF the city, are far different
from their brothers in any other part OF
the world. Their movement toward the
holy land is strange and their life here
is so interesting that have made it the
subject OF investigation.--F. G. Carpen-

A Disastrous Flood.
Globe Silver Belt

The rainy season may be said to have fairly commenced in this section. After many abortive attempts Pluvius turned himself loose last Thursday morning, resulting in a veritable deluge. The storm extended over a wide scope Of country and every cOnverging arroyo on both sides of the valley became the chan mel of turbulent stream which went to swell the volume of Pinal creek. As a consequence that stream was converted into torrent which swept on with ire sistible force until near Wheatfelds where, the channel being inadequate to contain the unusual flood, the entire valley was inundated.
 J. w. Lees place was the first to suffer His house was completely surrounded by water and all his poultry and calf tied in the corral were drowned. When the flood reached T. A. Pascoe's ranch 1t was too great for his dam to withstand and that was carried away and the large body of water 1t held in check added to the flood. The ranches of N. H. Price, c. D. Ferguson and the Chinaman gardener received the brunt of this augmented tor rent and great damage resulted to their fields and crops. The Chinaman IS re- ported to have suffe red to the extent of | $l, 300, and the losses of Messrs Price and Ferguson are considerable.
 Mir. Pascoe Is one of the heaviest los CTS. He had large quantity of hay cut, some stacked, and most of it is probably lost or greatly damaged The water surg ed into his house and the two men in | charge took to the hills for safety. The fish pond which was well stocked with carp and represented large outlay of money and labor, was destroyed, and af- ter the water had subsided many fine carp were picked up at different points of the valley.
 In Globe the damage done was slight, although the creek has seldom been so high The rear fence of Hop Lees gar den, owned by Alonzo Bailey, which abuts on the creek, was undermined, and a corner of c. W. Haverly's lot washed away Two frame houses on Push street opposite Pascoe's corral, owned by John Kennedy, were partly demolished and Manuel Gallcgo and family, who occu- pied one of them, made nasty exit Some damage also resulted to property adjoining the wash which crosses Broad street south of the court house. The pre- cipitation during the first two hours was 1.56 inches, and for the whole storm 204 | inches.

SCARED BY SKULLS.
Indians Keep Away from Bellingham Bay
 Because of an old stratagem.

Indians Keep Away from Bellingham Bay
 Because of an old stratagem.
 One very noticeable peculiarity of the Bellingham Bay cities is the absence of Indians and Chinamen. The former are seldom seen here and the latter never. Why the Indians avoid this place is not known, but some Of the siwashes said that the natives held this part of the state in superstition through an event happen ing during the Indian war about 1866.
 It ran thus: One night during the troU- ble with the savages d certain camp of white settlers were expecting an attack. The whites were informed by a friendly but half witted Indian, who had received small sums of money from the settlers for occasional services he had done them
 The white men, finding that the sav- ages would far outnumber them, resolved to thwart them by stratagem, and this Is the way it was accomplished:
 The Indians, on their way to attack them, would have to pass through a thickly wooded ravine that lay on the north side of the Noosack river, known as the Devils pass" Anticipating the savages' march, the white men concealed themselves in the gorge. They were armed, and carried with them six human skulls belonging to the surgeon of the party.
 The whites had resolved to play upon the superstition of the red man, and for that purpose especially had they chosen this dark retreat, of which the Indians had long been timid.
 It was 10 o'clock at night (March II, 1866) when the white settlers reached the dreaded ravine. They hurriedly station ed themselves with their muskets com manding the Indian trail, while four of the party lighted pitch torches and in serted them into the skulls after the 'Jack-o'lantern" fashion, thus giving them most ghastly appearance.
 The lighted skulls were stuck up across the path the Indians would have to travel on their way to attack the camp. The savages came stealing along in large numbers about midnight, and see ing the ghoul like, fire eyed skulls stretch ing across their very pathway, they took them for human devils and fled in grea1 fright, never pausing until the camping l grounds of the Indians were reached.
 The whites were saved by stratagem and the Indians have ever since held { superstitious fear of this section of the country Press.

Hare. the iiic,uarman.

Hare was the Dick Turpin of his day and aa associate of Murrell and Mason, the Mississippi bandits. The principal interest attached to his career was his connection with the alleged plot to kid nap President Madison and deliver him over to Admiral Cockburn, the com mander of the British fleet. When, in August, 1914, the British, under Gen. Ross, entered Washington and burned the capitol and most of the public build ings, it was evident that they must have been guided by men who knew the country well.
 Hare was a soldier in the American army and had been released from jail to enlist in the service. In the same com pany was an Irishman named Farren, who was British deserter. He sounded Hare as to the possibility of seizing the president and taking him down the Pc tomac to the English fleet.
 Two other men were to be secured and the project carried out. Farren wanted money, and to get it undertook to rob a man on the road near Washington, but his intended victim was powerful, res olute fellow, and shot Farren, who died the following day. He had always claimed to Hare that he had been offered a thousand pounds for securing the pres ident, and that Gen. Ross was in the scheme.
 Hearing of Farren's mishap, Hare got apprehensive that the Irishman had be- trayed him, so he stole his captain horse and escaped to Baltimore. After a reckless career in company with his young brother Louis and a well known criminal named Alexander, he stopped the mail at Havre de Grace and got S13,- 700 in specie and notes. The entire party were captured in Hunts clothing store in Baltimore the next day. Alexander and Hare were hanged, and the brother was given a ten year sentence. .-Phila- delphia Times.

Then he adds, amiably; "Of late I have found it impossible to read critically all the literary produc- tions, in prose and verse, which have heaped themselves on every exposed sur face of my library, like snow drifts along the railroad tracks-blocking my literary pathway, so that can hardly find my daily papers, Can good nature go far ther than this?

Obituary.
Tucson Star.

Sister Mary Vincent died at St Mary's Hospital Sunday, August 3, 1890, after two months illness, from erysipelas The funeral ceremonies were held at the Cathedral yesterday The large number of people who followed the remains to the cemetery attested in measure the high esteem in which the deceased was held by our people. Sister Vincent came to Arizona from Saratoga, New York, if teen years ago, and for several years was a teacher in St. Joseph's Academy. She took an active part in founding St. Mary's Hospital of this city, and had been in charge of the county depart ment of the same since its establishment until her death.
 Sister Vincent was well known, espe- cially among the poor and suffering, hundreds of whom received her charities and blessing. In the hospital she was a ministering angel. and the hundreds of sufferers who have been cheered by her kind words will sorrow to hear of hel death.
 A life devoted to laboring for others and bearing the burden of the weak could not result in other save a beautiful christian character, and such always re- ceive their reward in this as well as the world beyond. Such a character was Sister Mary Vincent. May she be { ministering angel above as she has beer on earth.

A CIoudhurst.

The stage leaving Riverside for Globe on Thursday morning of last week. met with complete disaster in the canon near hane'a Springs abOut five miles from Riv- erside Charley Lange was the dnver and kObt. x. Moore was a passenger, and they left Riverside about four o'clock m the morning with one of the best teams on the route and good blackboard. About an hour later, while going up the canon at a slow pace the remark was made that it would be a dangerous place to encounter a clOudburst Fifteen minutes later with out the least warning, they were met by a huge wave coming down the steep grade fifteen or twenty feet deep which sudden ly swept over them with force that was irresistible Moore jumped for his life and the water swept him to high place where he gained footing and saved him self. The driver was not so fortunate, as he became entangled in his long storm coat and went over with the team and buck board which made a complete somersault, and the whole outfit was swept down the canon. The driver was carried about two hundred yards down stream and while passing through a tree top he instnchVly caught hold of the branches where he re- mained until the flood passed by. He then descended and, although badly bruised, set about to find the team and the mails The horses were found farther down the ecafion, one of them dead and the other 20 badly injured that 1t was killed. The blackboard was broken and twisted out of all semblance to a vehicle and the mail sacks, tied to it's iron railing, were recov- cred During all this time the rain was falling heavily. but the flood rushed by quickly and soon left only small stream. The road wns found to have been filled with great boulders and quantities of .driftwood and no teams have been able to pass over 1t since, the subsequent mails being packed over on horseback.

Building up a Fruit Market.
Phenlx Herald.

A Herald man encountered Lee Dunn, the energetic partner of Dunn x Forsee at Tempe, Saturday night. The firm Is shipping from 60 to 100 crates of Mesa grapes daily to Denver, Kansas City and Galveston. They draw their supply of Muscsts, Rose of Perus and Lady Down ings principally from the vineyards of Messrs. Bagley, Frankenberg, Clyman, Brooks Reed, Mullen, Cuber and Dr. Chandler, and pay two cents per pound
 The firm recently imported a carload of crates from Los Angeles. Each crate contains four 5-pound baskets. The old fashioned boxes have been discarded for these newer crates, which, though costing from 20 to 30 cents more, are easily worth the difference in safer shipment and greater satisfaction of buyers,
 Mir Dunn believes that in two or three years the fruit business of this valley with eastern cities will be developed into very large proportions Next year his firm proposes to have its own representative in the big cities who will give that close attention to consignments which 1t Is impossible to secure from ordinary commission merchants.

A Wonderful Quarry Found in Yavapai
 County.

How little Is really known about Ari- zona's mineral wealth by even the best informed cannot be better illustrated than by the history of the deposit of onyx discovered and located few months ago, twenty eight miles south of Prescott and within stone's throw of what is and has been since the organization of the Territory, the main highway of travel between northern and southern sections. For over quarter of country, wit in fifty feet of Mayors station on Big Bug creek, in one of the oldest and what was supposed to be one of the most thorough ly prospected mining districts of the Ter Titory, laid uncared for. and unheeded, 220 acres of the most beautiful onyx that ever pleased the eye Of man. Red, green, blue, old gold, pink. white, black, translucent. Variegated, in every variation, the onyx Is found covering this area to an unknown depth, and while the owners of the only other onyx quarry Tn exist enca-the one in the State of Puebla, Mexico,-were growing rich by selling their stone at from SS to s520tO cubic foot, hundreds of persons passed over this deposit to admire the for moment the wonderful beauty of the rock and then cast 1t away as worthless, until last Feb ruary when Al and Geo. McCann, Wm. O'Niell and John Dougherty located 1t in a vague speculative sort of way, trusting that the future would develop some way in which it's products could be utilized. A few samples sent to Chicago, astonish ed the experts of that city where $l0O,OO0 of Mexican stone had been used in the interior decorations of the just then com pleted auditorium. Nothing of the kind used in that building in color or texture could compare with the Arizona stone, while the flaws that made the Mexican stone so defective were totally missing Both Chicago and New York experts on onyx were sent to the Territory and all were astonished not only at the extent of the quarry, but also at the fact that the onyx was in regular quarry formation, something never before known, as in Mex leo it IS only found in boulders, The long accepted theory that the stone was primarily formed in the shape of stalag- mites and stalactites was upset, and the only explanation that could be advanced to account for the Arizona freak of re gular quarry of onyX-just like sandstone or granite that the valley in which
 1t was located had at one time been the basin of lake formed by a spring whose
 waters were strongly impregnated with lime to form the body of the stone and with iron, gold, copper and other minerals to color 1t, and then centuries of evapor- ation under the burning suns of Arlzo- na did the rest, and as a result gave a quarry that rivals in its beauties of cOlOrs the glOries of the opal.

A Railroad WashOut.
Tucson Star.


 A party from Benson informs a Star reporter that the washout between Ben son and Fairbank is more extensive than at first reported. He was on his way to Nogales, and when the train was within four miles of Fairbank it could not pro ceed any further on account of the des- tructiOn of the railroad track The train then turned back towards Benson, but when within four miles of that place they found that the road has been washed out during the interim that took the train to go about fifteen miles. Here they were between two washOuts, the extent of which together was about ten miles. The passengers, among whom were some la dies, started to walk to BensOn and had gone nearly three miles through mud and slush before they had an opportunity tc board hand car and come to town. The party who gave the reporter this infor nation was. one of the passengers, and he said that though they had hard trip i was nevertheless enjoyable, and there was much fun connected with it.
