Zone reading these notes should first carefully

indicated above.
INTRODUCTION.
B. c. $50 was the beginning OF the Baby lonian
captivity. Then Nebuchadnezzar burned the
Temple at Jerusalem and carried off many of
the holy utensils. b. C. $50 Cyrus began to
rule. He granted permit to Jews to return to
Jerusalem and rebuild their Temple. ZerGb-
babel was appointed Governor of Judea.
Joshua was the High Priest These two, ac-
compsned by $4,000 Jews, left Babylon and
went to Judea. B. G. $50 the work of laying
the foundations of the Temple began, and con-
tinued into the next year. Much opposition
sprung up from surrounding peoples aud it was
so great as to dishearten the builders. The OPP
ponents were called "the Anniversaries OF Judah
and Benjamin" Largely they were Samari-
tans. We remember the Ten Tribes had been
carried off to Assyria as captives and the Sa-
martsns were the people sent by the conqueror
to occupy the territory before Inhabited by the
Ten Tribes. They were very mixed body.
BY the teaching of Jewish priest whom they
secured as instructor they became acquainted
with the pentateuch and thus with the ordi-
nances and theology of the Jews. They wanted
to become one with the Two Tribes, Judah and
Benjamin, but Zerubbabe refused such alliance
recognition from the Jewish Governor, Zsrub-
babel, nor from the legitimate High Priest,
Joshua, they became very bitter, aud get out
with all might to oppose the building of a
Temple at Jerusalem. Stanley intimates Ze-
rubbabel and Joshua acted in a spirit of secta-
rian narrowness; but it seems they acted from
the only safe policy. A combination would
have been sure to lead to Jewish degeneracy.
1t was not the mission of Zerubbabel and
Joshua to establish a mongrel religion. The
animosty of the Samaritans toward Jews was
very bitter, and continued, we remember, even
to the time of our Savior. Fifteen to sixteen
years passed without any structure being built
on the foundations laid by Zerubbabel. Then
came the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. re-
buking the Jews for not going on with the
erection of the Temple, and stirring them up
to re-begin. Opposition was made again. There
was a question as to the authority By which
Zerubbabel was doing such work He claimed
he had permit from Cyrus. This was denied
by opponents. Effort was made to find the
original order. The decree was discovered
after search and found to clothe Zerubbabel
with all power in the matter. So in $50 B. C..
the work was resumed. In four years it was
completed, and so we have the dedication
taking place B. G. SIS. So we may say the
building of Zerubbabeps Temple required 20
years. 1t cond easily have been completed in
five years had not enemies OF the Jews checked
them.

LONDON, June 18.-W. r. Cremer
in the House of Commons, having
learned that the United States Con-
gress had authorized the president to
conclude treaties of arbitration, NOV
ed that the government open negoti-
ations with the view to refer all diff

Mr.. Gladstone suggested modifi-
cation Of the resolution by the substi-
tuition Of the words "that the House
of Commons, cordially sympathizing
with the purpose in view, hopes that
her majesty's government will lend a
ready cooperation to the government
of the United States" Mr.. Glad
stone congratulated Mr.. Cremer upon
his finding chance to strike in be-
half of humanity.
Among the listeners to Mr.. Glad
stones speech was Ambassador
Bayard.
Mr.. Gladstone's resolution was sub
stituted, and on being put to vote
was carried.

DULUTH, Mimi, June 18.-The
towns Of Virginia and Mountain Iron,
on the Duluth, Mesaba and Northern
road, have been burned by forest
fires, which have been raging week.
Mesaba, Biwabik and Merritt, on the
Duluth and Iron Range, were also
visited by serious fires. There are
2OOO people homeless in Virginia and
without food or shelter. The situa-
tion at Mountain Iron is little better.
Arrangements have been made here
to send relief to the sufferers. The
loss by the fires will proximate ST.
100000. The places destroyed are
new mining towns.

was the woman's husband No. 5, the

Steps were taken to arrest the
woman for bigamy, but she left town

blame the painter, unless you authoriz-
ed him to get the Chiffon Paints and he
failed to do so-which heevidently did,

pense was heavy enough, was it? All!
but you would have spent less and had
more satisfaction had the Chiffon Paints
been used. Half the quantity you con-
sumed would have done as much work
and have done it twice as well. Let
this experience teach you better next

you buy gallon, you get gallon, and

NOT GUILTY.

This was the verdict brought in at
New Bedford last Tuesday by the
twelve men, good and true, dessigna-
ted to try Lizzie Andrew Borden of
Fall River, Mass, for the alleged
murder of her father and stepmother.
II was received in the court room by
wild cheers that were re-echoed all
over New England if not throughout
the country, for the great majority of
those who had followed the evidence
from the beginning were thoroughly
convinced of Miss Borden's innocence.
In fact men, everywhere, capable of
judging of such matters could not
find shred of evidence on which to
found a case for the government. The
following associated press dispatch
gives glimps of the closing scene.
At 4:30 p. m. it was announced that
they had reached a verdict and they
filed into the court room and we're poll
ed. Miss Borden was asked to stand
up and the foreman was asked to return
the verdict upon which he announced
"Not guilty."
Then cheer went up which might
have been heard half mile away
through the open windows and there
was no attempt to check it. The justi-
ces looked straight ahead at the bare
walls. Sheriff Wright was powerless
to WELD the gavel which lies ready for
his use, and not once during the tre-
mendous excitement, which lasted fully
minute, did he make the slightest sign
of having heard it. He never saw the
people rising in their seats and waving
their handkerchiefs in unison with theil
voices, because his eyes were full O
Tears and were completely blinded.
Miss Borden's head went down upor
the rail in front of her and tears came
where they had not come for many {
long day, as she heard the words "Not
guilty"
Mr.. Jennings was almost crying and
his voice broke as he put his hand ou
to Mr.. Adams, who sat next to him
and said, "Thank God" while Mr.
Adams returned the pressure of thl
hand and seemed incable of speech.
Thus closed one of the most re
markable trials of the age-remark
able in that its only basis rested upoi
a perjuled police force-remarkabl
in that the great state of Massachu
setts kept woman over nine months
in Jail, her authorities all the tim,
knowing that conviction was impos
sible. For years to come lovers o
justice will recall with something o
horror and shame the names of dis
trict attorney Knowlton, Marshe
Hillard and his Fleet assistant, Mrs
Reagan and some others of the Fal
River police force-men who hatchet
theory and then bent their entire en-
ergies, regardless of truth and jus
tice, to make it fact.
