The Secretary of Agriculture has set
difficult task for himself and wife
though a pleasant one. Like his prede-
cessor, Secretary Morton, Secretary
Wilson is intensely interested in the
agricultural progress of the country
and especially in the grain-raising sta
lions of the West. All the Agricultural
districts of the United States, which
morace every square inch of land, is
subdivided for the convenience of the
bureau into stations. These are exactly
outlined, so that the Secretary can re-
ce1ve reports from all parts of the
country, and can, on reading them
know exactly what and how the coun-
try is doing.
Secretary Wilson has in mind certain
very beneficial reforms, and it is his
intention to carry them out. He will
visit the stations, receive the reports
of those in charge and bring home a
list of the things needed at each sta
ton. This means a great deal to the
farmer, who can have trees planted,
woods lowered, railroads mapped out,

MOHAMMEDAN
MOSQUE IN PARIS.
The Wonderful Dome Of the
Rock is to be Reproduced
Faithfully for the
Exposition.

Paris, July 10.-The reproduction OF
the Mosque of Omar is one of the stu
pendous tasks which the Paris EXPOSE
ton builders have set for themselves
The Mosque of Omar, in Jerusalem, Is
one of the few beautiful temples OF
early Mohammedan power that have
been left standing, and to-day is one
of the great attractions of Jerusalem,
both in regard to antiquity and beauty
of architecture.
It is situated on ancient Mount Mo-
riah, the site of Solomon's and Herod s
temple. The top of the ancient hill has
been leveled, while part of the Tyro-
pecan Valley has been filled up, so that
the whole area where the main temple
is situated forms an almost level plain
covered with greensward, dotted over
here and there with olive, cypress and
other trees and taking up nearly one
sixth CT the area of the walled city.
A member of the Palestine EExp1ora-
ton Society will superintend the build
ing of the mosque, and the MOhamme-
dams will hold worship there daily.
Great trouble will be taken to secure
extreme accuracy and, as far as pos
sible, the wonderful temple which the
Armenians are always threatening to
destroy in Jerusalem will be repro
duced.
The entire Enclosure of the Mosque of
Omar in Jerusalem is called by the Mo
hammedans Haram-esh- shareef, the
Noble Sanctuary. About the middle of
the Enclosure is an almost rectangular

marble. This pulpit is said to have
been built by Burman~ ed-Din, in the
year 1893, and is spoken of as an ex-
qu1slte specimen of Arabian architect
ure.
To the south of the platform is the
second large temple, or mosque, called
Ell Aksa. 1t is $50 feet long and $50
feet wide, and is believed by some to
nave been built by the Emperor Justin
ian, although the MOhamnedans claim
own princes. 1t has a great resem-
blance to churches, having a nave and
SIX side aisleS, with many columns, and
the interior architecture is evidently of
different periods. The building terni-
mates on the south also with a dome
resembling the Sakhra, but much
smaller. Here also are several hand
some stained glass windows, and one
especially that has called forth the adj
miratiOn of thousands who have seen
it. 1t is made of small, transparent
glass mosaics, wrought into exquisitely
beautiful flowers and arabesques Of va
riegated cOlorS, harmoniOusly blending
into each other. This window has an
other popularity of double set of
designs, one set being visible at a GER
tain distance from the window, and on
stepping back two or three yards an
other and entirely different set of de-
signs appears to the view.
1t is said that when the Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria visited Jeru-
salem, he offered $4,000 (about $40, 000)
for this window, but was told that he
could not get it for million.
The priceless features, the builders
think, can be reproduced cheaply, yet
faithfully.
One of the best features of the COM
ing exposition will be it's reproduction
of ancient landmarks of merit, so that
a visitor to Paris will have learned as
much as though he went around the
world

TRAVELLING INCOGNITO.

The Prince of Wales generally adopts
the name of Lord Renfrew when he
travels incognito; the Duke of Cam
bridge invariably used that of Lord
CulIoden, while Queen Victoria only
partly conceals her identity under the
disguise of Countess of Balmoral. She
used to style herself Countess of Ian
caster when travelling incognito, but
has abandoned that title since the
widowed Countess of Cardigan married
a Portuguese nobIeman CT the name Of
Count of Lancaster designating herself
now as Countess of Cardigan and Ian
caster.
The Queen is not particularly fond Of
Lady Cardigan, who is perhaps little
too much devoted to sport for her maj
esty's somewhat strict taste, and with
view of avoiding all confusion, has
yielded the pas to the Countess as re-
CARDS the style of Countess of Ian
caster, and calls herself Countess of
BalmoraI instead. Lady Car0igan's
husband, by the bye, was the leader of
the Light Brigade, which covered itself
with so much glory in the now historic
charge of Balaklava during the Cri-
mean War.

Washington, July 19.-As we are not
at Harvard we can say that the mem
bers of the Cabinet will have red
hot time this summer in the old towns,

But war summer is over, and one
and all of these four-year statesmen
are planning a vacation which, in wild,
reckless joviality, has no equal in the
annals of the Cabinet.
Yet it is not so very sportive after

Secretary Long comes nearest to it,
when he fishes along the coast of Mas
sachusetts, and Secretary Wilson
might be said to approach it on his
Western tour, but even these two ex-
amples are not those of pronounced

The President has promised to do all

for Canton, in Ohio.

platform, about fifteen feet from the
ground. This platform is $50 feet from
north to south and 45o feet from east
to west.
In the middle of the platform of the
original temple stands the main tenn
pie, the Mosque of Omar, called by
the ATohammedanS -Kubbet-es- Sakhra,
the Dome of the Rock. The building
is an octag On in shape, each side being
81 feet long, and the whole is covered
by a light, artistically shaped dome,
which is surmounted by a crescent.
The height of the building is 1877 feet.
The lower parts of the walls on the
outside are covered with slabs OF
marble, on many of which are engraved
squares crossing each other. Higher up
the exterior walls are covered with
blue and yellow and green porcelain
tiles with intricate ArabesQue designs
and Arabic inscriptions.
Entrance to the mosque is gained by
four large doors that open to the four
cardinal points. The inside of the
mosque is $50 feet in diameter, and in
entering the edifice from any gate the
visitor finds himself in the first corri
dor, 10 feet wide, on the inner sides of
which are eight piers and sixteen mar
bic and granite Corinthian columns.
The latter do not appear to occupy
their proper places, and apparently
We're not originally made for this
structure.
The NGohammedans say that many Of
the stones and columns were found
among the ruins, and several OF the
columns at least probably belonged to
Herod's temple
Within this corridor is another one
80 feet wide, with four piers and
twelve large columns that support the
beautiful, lefty dome. Directly under
the dome stands a rock four feet nine
inches at it's highest point, and one
foot at it's lowest. This is the Sakhra-
rcck-from which the mosque derives
its name, and from this rock Moham-
med is believed to have gone to
heaven. AT the southwest corner of
the rock is shown the footprint of Mo-
manned, and near by is the hand
print of the ArchangeI Gabriel, who
caught hold of the rock to prevent its
following the prophet in his upward

Judging from the imprint of his hand.
Under this rock is an excavated cave,
from the ceiling of which a circular
hole extends to the top of the rock
The floor of the cave is paved with
marble, and in the center is a large,
circular slab o marble that evidently
covers a large well or other excavation,
as an empty sound is heard when the
slab is stamped upon with the foot.
The Mohammedans call it Bir-e1-Ar-
wah, well of souls, and the cave itself
is called the praying place of Abraham,
David, Solomon and Jesus.
Outside the mosque there are several
small, elegant praying places. One is
said to have been used by Fatima, the
daughter of Mohammed, and there is
also a richly decorated pulpit of pure

Sam Houston and His Corn..

Professor Hiram Corson of Cornell
university, who used to be q reporter
for the United States senate tells this
story about Sam Houston: I'VE re-
porters took turn and turn about each
for an hour. One day | was sitting
idly in the reporters gallery. waiting
my turn and looking on Presently my
attention was drawn by Senator Hous-
ton. Huge of frame, he was particu-
larly huge of feet, and those extreni-
ties were rendered the more conspicu-
Gus in those days of boots by being
incased in laced shoes. On this occa-
sion there seemed to be an amount of
pain in those feet proportionate to
their size
The senator kept one upon his
knee rubbing il. with an anguished
expression and periodically eXchang-
ing for the other foot. After awhile he
unlaced his shoes and drew them off.
Then the nursing of his aching toes
continued for a time as before. But no
relief came, and at last, to my utter
amaZement and amusement, he slowly
divested himself of long blue wooden
stocking, and. taking the huge jack
knife with which he was wont to pass
the time whiting. he proceeded de-
liberately to pare his corhs in the SEN

TERRITORY ALGERISn.
Existing Conditions Attributable to
Gross Neglect of Powers.

The Muskogee Times says:
There is a cause for every result,
whether good or bad. There is
cause for the slow progress of the
work of the Dawes commission.
There is a cause for the shortage
in the funds necessary to keep the
machinery of the law in smooth
running order in the Indian Terri
tory. There is a cause for crowd
ing nearly $50 prisoners in the
Muskogee jail when that structure
affords scant accommodation for
half that number. The cause for
these results traced to its source
will be found in Washington,
where the heads of the various de-
partments, are, with few expecta-
tions, as ignerant of the Indian
Territory, its conditions and re-
quirements, as a Guinea negro is of
the game of golf. And apparent
ly there is as little effort on the
part Of the grand moguls to ac-
quaint themselves with these mat
ters. Affairs of great moment are
referred to $50 0-a-year subo1 din

incapable and Indifferent than

many soft jobs and snaps connec-
ted with the bureau Of Indian af-
fairs for the public good. A seis-
mic disturbance, something a lit
tie short of an earthquake, is need
ed in Washington to arouse the
dormant faculties of the powers
that be-to apprise them of their
duty to whites and Indians alike.
