In another part of this issue a
writer has given description OF
the new saloons of Clarksburg.
From the pen picture, one would
imagine they we're delightfully."-
planned in every particular. No
doubt they are lovely in all that
art can do for them but many a
mother will read of these gilded
palaces with a shudder. Within
these brilliantly lighted saloons
some one near and dear to her
may start on the road to misery
and ruin. And right here let US
drop a suggestion. Have the
Christian people and the temper

reading room or a place where
innocent amusements and joyous
recreation under ennobling infu-
ences will tempt the youth to
spend an evening and find greater
pleasure than he would under
the bright glare of the saloons

The capital city today is the fors-
most town in the south west, in point
OF population, wealth and commercial
supremacy. Today it offers better
and safer inducements u the new

to invest. than any other city within a
radius of one hundred miles. The nat

unpaid tax titles.
The past year has been the most
buoyant and prosperous in the history
of Guthrie. The volume OF trade was
increased 80 per cent last year over
the year preceding, in face Of the fact
that all Of the important rural ap-
proaches to the city were demolished
by the spring fooda. The cotton bus
iness for the season OF 'e6 81 amounted
TO nearly 500, 900 and this will be in
creased 20 per cent when the season Of
'97-9s closes. Less than four years ago
the cst.on business Of this section OF
Oklahoma was an experiment. 1t is
now the chief industry of this section,
and Guthrie will continue TO be the
principal cotton market Of Oklahoma.
Within eight months cotton compress
and oil mill will be in operation here,
and two years time will see cotton

A GREAT EXODUS.
when the jews Left Spain Rather Than
Repudiate their Faith.

when the jews Left Spain Rather Than
Repudlate their Faith.
Pearson's Weekly: The expulsion OF
the Jews from Spain can hardly be
called an emigration since their pas
sage from Spain was rather a matter
OF compulsion. Yet. in a sense, the
choice was given them. The queen and
king of Spain Ferdinand and Isabella
issued an edict for the expulsion OF
all Jews who refused Christian hap-
tism, but, as Prescott says, there were
found very few, when the day Of de-
parture arrived, who were not pre-
pared TO abandon their country rather
than their religion Consequently,
when March 80, 1892, arrived, what
was. practically speaking a whole ma
ton began to emigrate AL the prin-
cipal routes through the country
swarmed with emigrants. "old and
young. the sick and the helpless, men,
women and children, mingled promis-
cucusly together, some mounted on
horses or mules, but far the greater
part undertaking their painful pilgrim
age on foot" Eighty thousand at least
passed into Portugal; others scattered
over Europe and North Africa. The
whole number of Jews expelled from
Spain is variously computed from l6O,-
600 to 100000 souls. II appears from
the statement of the Bernaldez that
the kingdom OF CASTLE contained five
sixths OF the Jews in the Spanish mon
archy. and from, this computation the
| figures are set at 100000.
