THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market continued dull and narrow
Yesterday with operations almost entirely in
the interests Of professional traders. Prices
moved within fractional limits in tho greater

and little certainty Of tone. although final hg-
ures showed many net advances. Manhattan
stock recovered the loss made on Wednesday
on covering Of shorts. due to the renewal Of
reports about a possible change for the better
in the affairs Of the company. Manhattan
stock paid per cent from 1891 TO 1896. In
1896 It had q deficit Of S6S1 ,904. IN 1897 a
deficit OF S1S5,35l. when It paid Az per cent
The stock pays l per cent quarterly. and
at the current rate Of earnings there Is con-
siderable doubt 10 the company's ability to
maintain per cent payments. Passenger traffio

since that time competition of surface roads
and poor management on the part OF the ee-

empire to dedicate it in person is
based on the fact that the project as
sumed definite shape under the pro-
lection, if not promotion, of his father.
The idea of planting Lutheranism
in the holy city goes back farther than
that, but when the present kaiser

SPLITTING IN THE CARS.

A friend asks our help to stop the
filthy habit of splitting in our street
cars, which all physicians pronounce
to be very dangerous to public health.
We have in Boston a city ordinance
making it punishable by a fine of not
exceeding $500 for each offence; and
the practical method of stopping it,
as it seems to us, is to have it pub
lished in all our city papers that half
a dozen police detectives in citizens
clothes have been ordered to ride on
the various lines of street cars and
prosecute every case they see. We
think that after half a dozen spitters
have been prosecuted and fined, and
the cases reported in our daily pa
pers, splitting in the cars will be pref
ty much stopped.-Dumb Animals.

ably always be known as the kaiser
church, even though a name will be
officially given to it. That name is
the Evangelical Lutheran church of
the Savior. Soon it will be one of
strange Jerusalem's strangest modern
features to the thousands who journey
to the famed city to see the place that
knew Christ when he was on earth.
The cost of its erection was more
than 100000, and the emperor is said
to have contributed the greater part
of the money. The remainder was
subscribed in various amounts by
Protestants in all parts of the father
land. William was too deeply in sym
pathy with the movement to see it
even delayed in it's marsh for lack of
money, so that when fresh sums were
needed it was only necessary for him
to know it and the amounts were
forthcoming. Some have said that
the young kaiser in his liberality to-
ward tie expenses of the building of
the church was Influenced by a desire
to use the incident of it's dedication to
establish himself as the head of Luth-
erism everywhere, even as the pope is
the head of the Roman Catholic
church in all lands. A more widely
accepted Interpretation of his interest

binary action in going into another

BILE, a restoration of the Church of St.
Mary the Great. The richly Orna-
mented doorway, with it's round arch
composed of twelve stones, was found
standing and in good preservation,
and has been raised and built into the
new structure. The foundations of
the old church were found to rest on
the debris of former overthrows, and
at great expense, the rock-bed was at
last reached at a depth of about 30
feet for the new foundations. The
new building is 100 feet in length by
80 in breadth, while the massive stone
tower, some $50 feet high, overstops
all surrounding domes and minarets,
and is now the most conspicuous OBJ
ject in a birdseye view of the city.
Behind the church is the old cloister,
in good preservation. Behind that
again is a space to be occupied with a
new hospice for pilgrims, and beneath
this are vast subterranean chambers
The entire plot of ground forms the
east half of the celebrated Muristan
or Hospital of the knights of ST.
John, and was the center of that IA

domes and Mohammedanism is evident

The dedication of the German Luth-
eran church of Jerusalem on the site
presented some years ago by the sui
tan to the late Emperor Frederick,
will be marked with oriental pomp
and splendor. An emperor and his
spouse are to dedicate the new church,
and when William of Germany reaches
Turkish soil at the end of this month,
he will be the guest of Ibis serene
brother" Abdul Hamid. The empty
treasury of Turkey has been made
even emptier by the expenditures OF
the sultan in honor of his prospective
guest. The palaces in Turkey, in
Jerusalem, in Egypt, where the royal
couple will be entertained, have all
been refurnished without regard to ex-
penses In fact an entire street in
Jerusalem has been widened for the
express purpose of enabling the royal
party to be thoroughly protected on
the march there
The church will be dedicated Octo-
Der 81 and this ceremony will be the
central event in the visit of the Ger
man emperor to the holy land. The
date fixed is historic and appropriate,
being the anniversary of the event
which began the reformation-the
mailing of his famous theses by Luther
to the church door in Wittenburg.
The new church is, as far as posi-

Venice or Genoa, direct to CONSTANT
pOple. Before reaching Jerusalem the
party intends to stop at Halfa, Cesa-
rea and Jaffa.
From Jerusalem they will go to Jer-
icho, and the other places to be visited
will be Elishas Spring, st. Saba, the
pools of Sloan, Damascus, the temple
of Baal, the Mount of Olives, the
Mosque of Omar, on the site Of the
temple of Mount Moriah, and the like.
The kaiser will thus conduct explor-
ations that may have results of great
advantage to sacred history, since the
sultan's friendship for him will enable
him to do and get done more things
than less influential explorers have
been able to do hitherto.
This church in Jerusalem is not the
first enterprise of the kind that Ger
many has attempted in Palestine. In
1851 Frederick William sent the first
deaconess to aid the sick and the pill

So the prominence given to the es-
Enlistment of the Church of the
Savior by the fact that the kaiser
himself will dedicate it on this re-
markable trip has given rise to fresh
discussions of the evident intention
to Lutheranize the holy land. The
Christian word is looking on with
deep interest.
Wednesday morning the emperor
and empress with suite left Berlin on
their journey to the holy land. They
go direct to Constantinople.
It is reported that the real reason
for this journey is a state secret that
has been sedulously guarded for
