IsLAMs GREEN BANNER.
How a Holy War with All Its Hor-
rOrs is Proclaimed.
G. L. shipley in Baltimore Sun.

c. l.. Shipley in Baltimore Sun.
As the interests of the Christian portion
of the universe are now conferred in an
effort to relieve the distress of people of
Armenia, an Asiatic province of the Turk
ish empire, and as rumors have been cur
rent that the troops of the sultan now con-
centrating i'm that province for the osten-
sible purpose of putting down an incipient
rebellion of the miserable people have dis
played the green banner" which means
"A holy war" II win be of interest to trace
as far as possible the origin and meaning
Of ''jejed"' or "holy war"
1t is understood to be a Mohammedan
be proclaimed by the Shiek-ul-fslam the
religious deputy of the sultan by the per-
sonal order of the sultan himself The
proclamation is performed by unfolding
the sanjaksherif. or flag of the prophet,
which is made of green silk, with cres-
cent at the top of the staff, to which is
attached horsehair plume. This flag is
deposited in the Mosque of st. Sophia, at
Constantinople. It is not. however, the
original flag oe the prophet as that en-
sign was white. and was made from the
turban of the Koreish which Mahomet
captured. For this. some time later, was
substituted a black flag made of the pet
ticoat of Ayesha, the favorite wife of the
prophet, and in whose arms he died.
Omar, the second Moslem caliph, OBJ
tanned possession of the flag by conquest,
and i. passed subsequently into the hands
of the AbaSsides and the CaliphS of Bag
dad and Kalmira, and was brought TO
Europe by Amurath III and deposited in
the seraglio at Constantinople. When the
flag was changed in color from black to
green is not known, but according 10 the
doctrine of Mahomet, the sultan and his
deIUty have the sole authority 90 unfurI
the flag over Constantinople and pro-
claim "holy war" a war against all
Christendom, and one in which every spe-
cies Of atrocity is perpetrated in the name
of the prophet on the unbelievers.
The unfurling of the green flag among
the Turkish soldiery, If there be truth in
the report may not be from the orders Of

writer in Chambers Book of Days"
Interestingly describes the celebration of
st. Nicholas day at Bari. On that day the
town is thronged with pilgrims from all
the country round. When they reach the
church they show their devotion by walk
ing all around tiff II can be called walk
ing-on their knees, and some of them
even do it with their foreheads to the
floor, each being guided by a child, who
leads the pilgrim with a handkerchief OF
which he holds a corner In his mouth.
Each pilgrim Is entitled TO meal without
cost, and on the especial occasion de-
scrbed over nine thousand were fed.
Water comes up through the floor of the
crypt over the grave of ST. Nicholas, and
this is supposed to have great curative
powers. IL is gathered IN sponges,
squeezed into bottles and sold to the pill
grims, 1t Is called the mama of St.
Nicholas.
st. Nicholas was the patron saint Of
children, of virgins and of sailors, and
countless stories have come down to us
of his tender and constant protection Of
those under his care.
The observance of st. Nicholas day
which connects 1t with the Christmas
customs Of the present era is the ancient
one Of filling shoes with little gifts which
were supposed to have been left there by
the saint, says the Monthly Illustrator
1t was also tine custom of old i'm certain
converts for the boarders to leave each a
silk stocking at the door Of the abbess on
the eve of st. Nicholas, and these they
would find in the morning filled with
sweetmeats OF. other trifies to show that
they were held i'm remembrance
GnllQTen were told that ST Ni0bnlQg
threw the presents for them in at the
window, and the main point is clear
enough-that he is the same person who
as Santa Claus, rides on Christmas eve
all over every part of the world where
good children live, with his sledge and his
RENDERS, and comes down the chimneys
TO fill the stockings hung up to await him
with all sorts of things to delight child
ism hearts, spending all the rest of the
year at his home, some where far up in
the Arctic circle, making toys and boiling
sugar into candy to distribute the next

A Valuable Patent by a Los Angeles
Man -. 49,.

Valuable Patent by Los Angeles
T. c. Nativel resident of Los Angeles
California, has recently obtained patent
upon an improvement in burial cases. or
caskets, to be manufactured out of vitri-
fed terra Gotta. at 4.a.
Mr.. Nativel claims as special features of
his patent as follows vFAss
First-That the material from which the
casket is to be manufactured is absolutely
imperishable in any condition of soil or
climate. Second That the parts or sec
tions of the casket are to be connected or
cemented together with a like imperish-
able substance, or cement, rendering the
casket absolutely air tight and preventing
the escape of noxious gases. Third-That
a syphon tube is provided for by which
the air contained in the casket can be
drawn off after the body is put in the
casket and it is sealed up, thereby pre-
venting the body from decaying, SO that
it may be kept for any length of time
without interment Fourth-A provision
is made in the patent which prevents
breakage under all ordinary circumstdn-
ces. making it possible to ship a body to
any part of the world with absolute safety
and without the necessity of the shipper
being obliged to bear the exoIbitant ex-
pense of purchasing a metallic casket.
Flfth-The patent provides for lettering
the lid of the casket with letters made
from terra Gotta, SO that the facts set
forth will last as long as time.
Mr.. Nativel has about completed the or
ganization of stock company for the
purpose of manufacturing and selling
coffins and caskets under his patent. and
the men who will compose the company
are men of means and energy and have
implicit faith in the patent; and at no
distant day confidently expect to revolu-
tionize the present methods and modes
of ca nducting the undertaking business.

When the flames reached the store
buildings on West Lincoln avenue,
they were checked and then it was
that the fire could be controlled for
the first time. Burning brands car
ried for blocks and covered the roofs
of houses. Several times, f. A. Ans
den's lumber yard was on fire, but
diligent service prevented any dam
age there. The pressure of the water
power was so light that at times a
fireman could and did stop the stream
by placing his hand over the nozzle Of
the hose.
Minor damages to old buildings in
the rear of the burned area were sus-
tanned. At least eight buildings fac.
ing two of the principals streets Of
the city were almost entirely con-
sumed. They were all frame struct-
ures.
When the alarm was first given.
several shots were fired by the Chinese
laundryman, Lee Young, which served
as a very good additional alarm. The
streets were soon blocked with people
anxious for their interests.
1t would be a difficult matter to
make anything like correct estimate
of the total losses as yet but they will
aggregate several thousand dollars.
Insurance will defray the greater Dor
ton Of losses. The losses which we
have given are hurriedly approx.
mated.
The fire company did gallant service
considering the disadvantages under
which they were working. Many Of
them endangered their lives and some
were wounded.

One of the last relics of the old
street railway was unearthed Friday

and Lincoln avenues, and hauled off.
The relic consisted of few ties which
had acted in the capacity of stumbling
blocks for a number of years.
