AN INTERESTING SCENE.

Long live the Sisters Of CHARITY" was
the cry on all sides, in the wards, the
corridors, etc. All were full of emo
ton. After the presentation the pasha
returned to the divan to take part in
a Turkish religious service. "Allah!
AllahP' cried out the assistants, opening
wide their arms and invoking blessings
on the sisters and the sick.
The military doctor, on being present
ed to Sister Sion, said, Sister, beg
you to employ all your influence with
the pasha to obtain me eight beds, so
that my poor sick soldiers may be prop
erly nursed."
Sixteen doctors Of the city who had
been invited to the opening were pre-
scented by the physician Of the hospital
to the pasha and the sisters. The rsbbis,
the Mussulman and Schismatic chiefs
came also 10 address their congratula-
tons to them. Finally the president Of
the municipal council assembled all the
personnel of the establishment before the
sisters
a moving scene then took place. BE

pharmacists, the nurses, cooks, garden

language and manner what was asked.

dent said: Sisters, confde this house

OPENING A HOSPITAL
ALL SECTS AND RELIGIONS IN A
JERUSALEM CHARITY.

Turks, Christians, Jews and Greeks
Unite in Putting the Sisters of Charity
in Charge of the Building and Its
work-An Impressive Scene.
A most interesting article of The Jour
nal des Debats describes a remarkable
scene which took place in Jerusalem.
The need Of municipal hospital for the
reception of all the sick of the city had
long been felt in Jerusalem. The pashs,
an excellent man, has Just carried out
this important work, which had already
been begun by his predecessor, Rahouf
Pasha.
But whom to put in care of the sick?
Jewish nurses?-for half the population
is Jewish, and $4,000 more Jews from
Russia are expected. Or Mussulmans?-
for Mussulmans are also numerous. Or
Greeks or Armenians, Copts or Catho-
lies? The question long remained with
out solution.
Finally the president of the municipal
council, accompanied by two Efendis,
presented himself before Sister Sion, su-
perioress of the Daughters of Charity,
and asked her to give some of her nuns
for the service of the hospital. She at
once asked from her superiors the per-
mission to accept the invitation, and q
few days later the municipality itself
came to thank the sisters for their con-
sent, and beg them at once to arrange
the house for the reception OF the sick.
There was no time to lose. In early
May they received their notice. and on
Sunday, May 10, the opening was to take
place in presence of Ibrahim Pasha and
the sersglio-that is to say, the council
composed of a member Of each national
ity, the heads of all the religions and the
municipal council.
THE PRESENTATION.
For three days and three nights the
nuns had no rest. st midday on Sun
day the nuns were all summoned in or
der to meet at o'clock in the large re-
ception room At o'clock the pasha
arrived in state and all the dignitaries
took their places. But the superior and

BIBLICAL HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
IN MODERN TIMES.

The Plain Story Of James BartIey's So
journ in the Stomach of = whale-Hs
Gives Inteuigent Description of His
Feelings - He Was Swallowed.
The whaling vessel Star OF the East ar
rived here after cruise of two years and a
half in the South Atlantic waters She
had on board a man who is a veritable
Jonah, having existed IN a whales belly
thlrty-six hours.
The mans statement is youched for by
the captain and crew of the vessel, and to-
day be is an object OF great curiosity among
the sailors The mans name is James
BARLEY, and he halls from New Bedford.
where he was born thirty-eight years ago.
He has made two voyages from this port
on the Star OF the East, and notwithstand-
ing his exciting experience during his last
trip, he says that he viii ship for another
voyage Es soon as an opportunity 10 do so
offers itself The strange story told by
him is in substance as follows:
The Star of the East was in the vicinity
Of the Falkland islands searching for
whales, which were very scarce One
morning the lockout sighted whale about
three miles away on the starboard quarter.
Two boats were manned
In short time one of the boats was near
enough to enable the harpooner to send
spear into the whale, which proved to be
an exceedingly large onA With the shaft
in his side the animal sounded and then
sped away. dragging the boat after hnn
with terrible speed. He swan straight
away about Eve miles, when he turned and
came back almost directly toward the spot
where he had been harpooned. The second
boat waited for him, and when but a short
distance away from it he arose 10 the sur
face. AS soon as his back showed above
tie surface Of the water the harpooner in
the second boat drove another spear into
him

SWALLOWED BY A BIG FISH.

The pain apparently crazed the whale,
for it thrashed about fearfnlly, and it was
feared that the boats would be swamped
and the crews drowned. Finally the whale
swan away. dragging the two boats after
him He went about three miles and
sounded or sank, and his whereabouts
could not be exactly told. The lines at
tacbed to the harpoons were slack, and the
harpoOners began slowly to draw them in
and coil them in tbs tubs
AS soon as they were taughted the whale
arose TO the surface and beat about with
his tail in the maddest fashion The boats
stteunp pied to get beyond the reach OF the
animal, which was apparently in its death
Rgonies. and one Of them succeeded, but
the other was less fortunate The whale
struck it with his nose and upset it The
men were thrown into the water, and be-
fore the crew of the other boat could pick
them up one man was drowned and James
BARLEY had disappeared When the whale
became quiet from exhaustion the waters
were searched for BARLEY, but he could
not be found, and, under the impression
that he had been struck by the whales
tail and sunk to the bottom, the survivors
rowed back TO the ship.
The whale was dead, and in few hours
the great body was lying by the ships
side, and the men were busy with axes and
spades cutting through the flesh 10 secure
the fat. They worked all day and a part
of the night. They resumed operations
the next forenoon, and were soon down TO
the stomach, which was to be hoisted 10
the deck The workmen were startled
while laboring TO clear it aud to fasten the
chain about it to discover something
doubled up in it that gave spasmodic signs

BARTLEY'S STORY.

The vast pouch was hoisted to the deck
and cut open, and inside was found the
missing sailor doubled up and unconscious.
He was laid out on the deck and treated To
bath OF sea water, which soon revived
him, but his mind was not clear, and he
was placed in the captain s quarters, where
he remained two weeks, Taying lunatic
He was carefully treated by the captain
and officers Of the ship, and he finally be-
gan to get possession of his senses. AT the
end of the third week he had entirely re-
covered from the shock and resumed his
duties.
During his brief sojourn in the whales
belly Bartley's skin, where II was exposed
10 the action of the gastric juices, under
went q striking change. His face and
hands were bleached to a dsathly white
ness and the skin was wrinkled, giving the
man the appearance Of having been par

fright and not through lack Of air. lie
says that he remembers the sensation Of
being lifted into the air by the nose of the
whale and Of falling into the water; then
there was fearful rushing sound, which
he believed 10 be the beating Of the water
by the whales tail; then be was encom-
passed by fearful darkness, and he felt
himself slipping along smooth passage

Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-17

In HIS letter to the commercial con-
gress sitting at Kansas City, Senator
Stewart made a significant admission
This gentleman belongs to the small
class of Republican statesmen (Stewart
is really deserving of that nancy who
prevented the United States from being
thrown into chaos by the passage of the
force bill. He had magnanimity
enough to vote for the confirmation of
Lamar as an associate justice of the su-
preme court of the United States. These
facts show the honest and manly
trend of his mind, and they are supple
mented by the fact that, in the letter
missive referred to, this square Nevada
senator says that all the legislation for
the past twenty-five years has been in
the interest OF the capitalist and against
the poor man. No one can dispute the
fact that Cleveland's administration was
clean and clear-cut, so that Senator
Stewards admission simply means that
the Republican party, during that long
period, has been the stool-pigeon OF
Wall street. We will remark just here
that it is mighty good thing that occa-
man may be found big enough
and truthful enough to admit the truth,
even as against his own party.
