Talk about boom" in real estate in
Jerusalem sounds a little strange For
centuries that city has been looked upon
as belonging TO the past without any
future But strange things are happen
ing in this nineteenth century. The open
ing of railroad from Jaffa to Jerusalem
has been followed by remarkable activity
in real estate in the latter city, and many
buildings are being erected. The indica-
tlons are that in a comparatively few
years great changes in the city will be
brought about.
There has, Of course, always been much
interest taken in Jerusalem. Christians
and Jews have made pilgrimages 10 her

The SUNDAY Question la Court.

The question whether or not the
worlds fair can be opened on Sundays
legally is to be settled in the courts. An
application has been made for an injunc-
ton prohibiting the opening of the fair on
Sundays, and it will be heard this week.
1t is certainly time that this question
was settled. It ought to have been set
tied before the fair was opened. 1t could
have been settled last April as well as
this week. The managers of the fair do
not take hold of important matters in
volving the success of the fair in the
prompt and vigorous manner they should.
They prefer to drift along, apparently
hoping that by some lucky chance such
questions will settle themselves.
This question of opening the fair on
Sundays has been discussed throughout
the country for six months or more The
managers must have known that there
would be an immense pressure in favor of
opening the fair, particularly by the
Chicago people and the foreign visitors
and exhibitors, and that there would be
as great, if not a greater, pressure against
opening. They also knew that congress
donated the s, 200, 600 souvenir half dollars
on condition that the fair should be closed
Sundays. Knowing all the circumstances
connected with the question they should
have had a case made up and
presented to the court month
or more ago so that the question
could have been determined, as far as the
courts could determine it, before the fair
was opened.
Every Sunday since the fair was de-
clared opened there have been tens of
thousands of people at the gates of the
fair demanding admittance. Compare
lively few of these people would have left
their homes if it had been well under
stood that the fair would be closed Sun
days, and if the gates had been opened on
Sundays thousands more would have
visited the fair than on other days of the
week, because poor people, who have little
leisure on week days, would have taken
advantage of the Sunday privilege.
There would be less agitation of the
Sunday opening question if the courts
had decided whether or not there is a
legal obligation to keep the fair closed on
Sundays. The uncertainty invites dis
cussion, and the fair managers are largely
to blame for the uncertainty.

Tricks of Travelling Men.

A short while ago got on the night train at
Hampstead, on my way to Dallas, and pur
chased ticket for a lower berth In the
sleeper, says a writer in the Globe Democrat.
l was reading a paper when, happening to
look over to my right. l saw frail delicate
looking woman whose hacking cough made
me think her in the last stages of consump-
pity for her. few minutes later the porter
came to me and asked me If would exchange
my lower berth for an upper one to accommo-
date the poor woman who, getting on the
train also at Hampstead, was too late to Sc
cure lower berth. | aSsented cheerfully and
soon afterward climbed up into my roost and
went to sleep just before reaching Dallas
next morning got up and hurriedly dressed,
and as was on my way back from the dress
ing room what was my surprise to see
lower berth which l had given up. 1 was
angry at first, but on thinking it over con
cluded he was her husband, whom l had not
noticed the night before, and who wished to
be near her so as to hear her calls during tho
night, but very soon | saw her come out from
noticed he did not go near to her or speak to
her, and when we reached Dallas was on the
outlook and saw that he and she took differ
ent vehicles l at once suspected something
and called to the porter. He tried to dodge
me, but it was not to be done, and, grabbing
him by the collar, l shook him until his ivo-
ries ratified and demanded an instant explana-
ton.
The now frightened negro said; well,
boss I'll tell you the truth. The big gemman
who got on at Haler could only get an upper
berth, and he gave me quarter to tell you
that the poor woman had no lower one, and /
done as he aXed me-" | was surprised and
asked him if he had ever done this trick be-

Remembered the Pins. Anyhow.

A memory is good thing to cultivate, says
Harpers Young People. Most people have
passably good memories, many have extraOr-
binary ones, and some have none at all. One
of the causes Of the popularity of the late
James G. Blaine was his remarkable memory
for names and faces. It Is said that Mr..
Blaine could recall the face and name of per
more after the first meeting, not having en-
countered them in the interval
In regard TO bad memories, an amusing in
cident happened at the white house not many
weeks ago, If the reports are truthful. A
clergyman was presented TO Mr.. Cleveland,
ana as the President extended his hand the
revered gentleman blushed slightly, and lean
ing forward, whispered to the President,
''Ah-what name, pleaseP''
IL was doubtless nervousness attendant
upon personal contact with man holding so
nigh an official position as Mr., Cleveland
that drove the name out of the unhappy
clergyman mind. At any rate, il was not so
bad lapse as another case that is recorded.
What 1t was that caused the loss of memory
in the hero of the following anecdote' it IS
hard to state. Certainly Fritz must have had
queer head II the German story-teller has
not exaggerated in his anecdote. 1t seems
that probably very dull young man named
Fritz had been ordered by his master to take
four horses and lurry-which is a sort of car
much used by coal miners and others who
have need OF vehicles for the conveyance of
very heavy articles-and fetch a steam boiler
from neighbOring town. just as he was
about to start, his masters wife called him
in and said: Fritz, here's 3-penCei I want
you TO bring me a packet of pins and please
don't forget it."
No, ma am said Fritz, and off he started.
Some hours later Fritz came back drove up
to the house, Embarrassed the horses, stepped
into the house and delivered the small parcel
of pins to the lady
Il say, Fritz" said his master. who was
standing a the window what have you done
with the boier?"
Boiler, sir?'' answered Fritz. 'sDouner-
wetter, sir hope you won't be vexed, but l
clean forgot it."

She Said a Harp,

He had made love to 900 girls and he had
told the same story Of loyalty and devotion to
each one, says the Detroit Free Press.
At first it was accepted as true and a few
tender young hearts were strained almost to
the breaking point but in time the objects of
his alteration caught on and he was not such
a heart smasher as he thought he was.
Last winter or early this spring young De-
troit woman crossed his path
She was beautiful rich and responsive, and
he threw himself at her feet.
She rather liked the idea of his being there,
though she knew him better than he knew
himself, and she did not disillusionize him.
One day she sat idly listening to his tale of
love and she was getting tired.
II would" she said, Il had a harp whose
strings I might touch and find a chord re-
sponsive to my own hearts yearning. "
He caught her hands in his fervently.
Dear one" he murmured, take me-"
She drew her hand away Jelly and looked on
him with cruel glitter In her lovely eyes.
Il said harp and the words came as the
blows of heavy hammer; Il said harp not
a Tyre
And then he smote his mouth with a club
and went forth and kicked himself.

Monkeving with the Jim Jams.

that led man on the Jim jam line from Mad

York Sun writer story which was a IA
vorite in the repertoire of famous Cincln-
NATHAN.
'On one occasion, " he was won't to say, "a
friend of mine had been on a terrific spree
which had been occupying his nights right
along for two weeks or more. II managed
somehow to be ondeck during business hours,
but when night came he was down in the hold
and everywhere else. One morning he awoke
heavy-headed, half-dressed and lying cross
wise of the bed. When he had gone to sleep
or how he did not remember. There was the
odor of stale beer and wine and tobacco smoke
in the room, and bottles and cigar butts were
scattered all over. BY great effort he got
to his feet and for an instant his head felt
as if it would fall off and burst into a million
pieces. He cast his eyes around the rosm. AS
they fell upon the foot of the bed they en-
counterOd a grim and grinning monkey sit
ting on the rail. There was no known reason
why a monkey should be there, but there il
sat and grinned. He watched itintently as he
slipped over toward a table where lay q
loaded revolver. He was very, very rocky, but
he had grip enough to hold the gun, and with
a sudden movement he had it trained on the
simian. He was a famous shot but the
monkey never wavered. 1t simply sat there
winking and grinning. My friend held the
pistol down on it for a second steadily.
" Now, he said uervOusly, if you are a
real monkey, you are in h of a fix.
He banged away and it was ten days be-
fore he was himself again"

Republioan omcials Alarmed.

The investigation into the administra-
ton of the New York custom house.
which Secretary Carlisle ordered re-
Gently, is the cause of great uneasiness
among the officials of that institution.
The republican papers are up in arms In
their defense. The New York Tribune
calls the investigating committee par
tisan and irresponsible one, and broadly
hints that its sole mission is to gather
sufficient gossip and sCandalOus tales
from people who have grievances to make
an excuse for BUSTING republican agents,
clerks and inspectors. From what the
Tribune says the inference is that it
would not be a difficult matter to find a
great deal of scandalous gossip relative
to the manner in which the custom house
has been conducted by republican officials
1t is pretty safe to say that there is
ground for good deal of gossip that the
republican officials fear, and hence they
and the republican newspapers are de-
handing that the sessions of the commit
tee shall be open to the public. 1t looks
as if they hope to bulldoze the committee
into making the investigation on lines
marked out by themselves so they can in
timidate witnesses and prevenSsthe actual
condition of affairs in the custom house
from being discovered.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild
is chairman of the committee that is max
ing the investigation, and there is no
probability that he will permit anything
but a fair and honest inquiry.
Neither he nor his associates on
the committee will permit the investiga-
ton to take any course that has not in
view the public good. It is not the pur-
/ pose of the investigation to blacken repu.
! tations, but to get at the abuses, of which
| it is believed, there are many, and the
committee will make such rules for the
taking of testimony as seems to them
most likely to accomplish the object the
treasury department has in view.
1t will not be at all strange if it is de
veloped that there are many men
in the custom house who ought tC
be dismissed, and it is extremely probable
that some will be dismissed, but none viii
i be dismissed without cause. Secretary
Carlisle is too fair-minded a man to dc
any one an injustice, and he is too good an
officer and has too high a regard for the
public interests to retain men in the civ
service who are unfit for the positions
they occupy.
The republican papers, will, of course.
make great cutlery if republican officials
are dismissed, and they will try to show
that such dismissals are due to partisan
hate, but the public will understand then
motive and will accept their utterances al
their true value.

Gov. Hogg Refuses Treasury Pap.

Gov. Hogg, of Texas, is one of those I'M
compromising democrats who hew to the
line let the chips fall where they may.
Anything that smacks of patenalism in
national affairs makes him rise up on his
toes and swear by the everlasting hills
that the great state of which he is the
chief executive will have none of it.
Recently the legislature of Texas passed
a resolution TO enable the state authori-
ties to collect the federal bounty on sugar
produced on the state farm that is cult
waited by convict labor. The amount of
the bounty to which the state is entitled
is something over $50, 900.
When the resolution reached the
governor for his signature he vetoed it
and sent it back TO the legislature with a
message that must have made the good
old democrats of that body wonder
whether they had not forgotten the prin-
ciples of their party.
In the course of his message the
governor says: "The authority of Texas
to take this money from the federal
treasury demonstrates the evil of the
paternal system into which our
general government is drifting.
1t strongly supports the suspicion
that none but those who are
able need apply. Texas needs no assist
ance in farming Sugar raisers, as rule,
are the wealthiest planters Texas is nc
pauper nor mendicant. She is a sovereign
state, in the full control of her own insti
buttons, capable of repulsing with indig
nation every subtle effort made to destroy
her autonomy When she needs money she
will resort to constitutional means and
| call on Texans to pay it, She would not
! appeal to Massachusetts, Georgia or any
other state to help her; nor will she ac-
cept money paid for public purposes by
her sisters to the federal government
simply because congress is willing, in the
exercise of arbitrary power, in defiance Of
the constitution, to let her take it. TIL,
state of Texas, as long as l am governor
shall treat this sugar bounty with derisiv'
contempt"
Gov Hogg believes what he says, foi
what he says costs his state $4,000, bu
what is money in comparison with prin
ciplesl
