WALKED TO JERUSALEM AND BACK
A Belgian Monk Made the Round Trip
Without Money and Enjoyed It.

About two years aud half ago Father
Meunier, o monk in the Belgian hermitage
Of St Thibault. read an ANONYMOUS
manuscript OF the fourth century telling
OF Q journey that one of the early fathers
of the Church made on foot from
Rome TO Jerusalem. The forgotten story
inspired Father Meunier with an ambi-
tion to make q similar journey to the
sacred city. He obtained leave OF absence
for an indefinite period and in few days
was on his wsy. He was not encumbered
by an ounce of baggage, nor did he have
so much as a penny in his pockets. he
proposed TO make the journey in the apos-
tolic manner, on foot. alone. and without
silver.
Father Meunier has successfully carried
out his laborious project, and few weeks
ago he read an account of his tramp OF
1900 miles before the Geographical Society
of Brussels. He gave his audience rapid
review of his walk through France TO
north of Italy and the Balkan peninsula,
and devoted most of his talk to the story
of his wanderings in the lesser known coun-
try between Constantinople and Jerusalem.
He did not arrive at his destination until
eighteen months after his departure:
In ASIA he crossed Asia Minor and
Syria, visiting Beirut, Nazareth, and other
famous towns. The passport that he re-
ceived at Constantinople described HIM az
"a pilgrim. physician. and q monk" In
that triple character he made lis waA
across thlnly-peopled regions. meeting with
the most generous hospitality everywhere,
though few embarrassing incidents oc-
Cured. He found. however, that nearly
every one regarded his pilgrimage kindly
and desired to help him along. lie won
the gratitude of invalids by prescribing
for their complaints. and at times his fame
as a doctor outstripped his own pace, ana
he found the sick waiting for him.
He travelled very slowly, enjoyed good
health, and returned as he had. come.
spending about two years and nall on
the round trip. He had seen great deal,
endured some hsrdshlps, but on the whole
had enjoyed himself, and gained much
useful knowledge without spending @ cent,
except an occasional coin that was given
him. The enterprise was purely expert
mental and somewhet hazardous. A large
part of his journey was made through re-
gions where only Mohammedans are found,
and il was not certain what kind OF re-
ception they would give him. 1t is be-
lieyed he could not have got through ASIA
Minor. begging his way as he did. il 1t had
not been tor the passport issued 10 him at
Constantinople by the Sultan's orders.
He says that Jerusalem impressed him
as the most melancholy city he ever saw.
IL resembles no other city IN the world.
Ii is neither an ancient city nor modern
town. When he was there the brook OF
Cedron was entirely dry. and there was no
vegetation about the city. The most pro-
minent of its environs were the cemete-
ries, winch enhanced Its lugubrious aspect.
The monk illustrated his lecture by good
many Photographic views, which had been
gwen to him.

he would not be without support when his
resolutions came up for discussion.
THE srrArE sIryIR pEBAIE.


The debate on silver will not begin IN the
the Introduction of his resolutions. Mr.
Morgan has ascertained that number OF
senators on both sides or the chamber. who
intended TO speak on the bill when the op-
portunity afforded. were not prepared 70
begin the debate on such short notice:
Accordingly the resolutions will be allowed
TO rest on the table until Monday.
BY the adoption of this course, Mr.
Morgan feels that he secures double
advantage. First. ample opportunity Will
be afforded other senators 70 prepare
their speeches (Mr. Morgan himself was
fully prepared to speak to-day II me-
cessary); and second. as the resolutions
will be called mp IN advance OF Mr..
Stewards motion to consider The silver
bill. the Senate will practically have de-
bate on the bill before acting upon 1T. thus
meeting Mr.. Sherman's objection that Mr.
Morgan's move would turn the Senate into
a mere debating school. and that there
was no definite proposition before 1t.
NO VOTE FOB MANY DAYs.
The indications are. therefore. that a
vote cannot be reached on MIR. Stewards
motion for many days, and between to-
day and Monday the senators Will endeavor
TO prepare their speeches, which will
occupy at least week in delivery, accord
ing to the present belief. :,
MIR. Morgan's purpose IS clearly inni-
Gated in the remarks he made to-day IN nis
colloauy with Senator Sherman. He de-
sires the people to know the attitude OF
the senators of both parties toward the sill
yer bill, and to so turn the debate as to draw
out their views or make them suffer from
the implications to be drawn from their
silence. The vote on his resolutions will not
be of anv significance. as they simply pro-
pose an inquiry to which all senators are
willing to lend themselves. Certainly,
however. Mr. Morgan has succeeded IN
disquieting the minds OF q number OF
senators by the introduction OF the reso-
lutiOn
