Colonization of Palestine.

The suggestion that the Hebrews OF Eu-

The Tomb of Alexander.

Gambrinus- In this last case the plaguey

makes his actions doubly suspicious is that
he is on each and every occasion of his ap-
prehension found in possession of different
kind OF casket; once it was a gold one, then
it was of glass, and again of lead, and mas
much as he has been out Of WORK for some
time past, it is not known how he comes by
them all.
All nonsense aside, these repeated and
confidently expressed stories of the finding
of relics and remains of antiquity, only to
be denied on investigation, tend TO weary
and disgust those interested IN such matters
and make them skepticai when genuine and
valuable finds are MAZE. As Iar as Alexan-
der is concerned, there seems to be but little
doubt that if ever his last resting place is
found i: will be at Alexandria, where his
body was conveyed after his death at Baby
lon. But really there is little hope of ever
finding a vestige OF either tomb or remains.
Julius Cesar Is said 10 have seen Alexan
der's tomb. as did also Chrysostom in the
fourth century, but since that time it has
been lost sight of completely, and it is more
than likely that in the mauy conflicts which
have taken place in the vicinity OF the place
supposed to contain his remains between
Arabs and others it has been entirely de-
stroyed.

that Frederic Remington, the remarkable

eussing the Nicely case last week expressed
the hope that he would never be called upon
10 pass sentence upon an individual con-
victed on circumstantial evidence only. AS
showing how injustice may be done by rely
ing on circumstantial evidence, he cited
several cases in which the proof was APP
pareutlv even more conclusive than in the
case of the Nicelvs and yet had been en-
tirely overthrown by subsequent events. In
concluding, be suggested that law be
framed allowing period of about five years

be carried out in the case of those convicted
on circumstantIal evidence alone.
