MOdernized Palestine.

In spite OF all our philosophy the
invasion of the birthplace of Chris
tianity by modern devices and modes
of life CRATES harshly on sensitive
minds. Names hallowed by religious
associations seem out OF place on rail-
way timetables or subscription lists
of long-distance telephones. OF
course, all this Is illogical, for we
need not expect any part OF the
world to remain in infancy, still prim-
tive habits and modes OF life are so
naturally blended with the Biblical
narrative that we cannot entirely sup
press wish for their perpetuation.
But modern innovations are strangers
to sympathy The railway from Joppa
IN Jerusalem, at first an experiment,
is now run on strictly business prin-
ciples. and branches are under con-
struction to familiar places up and
down the Jordan. Trolley lines are
projected to connect Jerusalem with
bethlehem, Bethany, the Lake OF Gal
ilee Samaria, Jericho, Nazareth and
other places, while in the city itself
there are electric lights, telephones
and other modern conveniences. In
stead OF the workman longing his
shadow. he now consults cheap Am
erican watch for quitting time, and
all other modern supplies are han

out Palestine and Syria. More than
200 monographs were recently i'm

and the rest to Jerusalem and near

A commission house at Beyrut has
bought q $3.50 windmill from an 1lli-
nois firm, and there is an important
market for all kinds of irrigation ma
chinery. The all-conquering syndi-
cate is in evidence, and the once fer
tile valleys are to be reclaimed by ir-
rigation on large scale, and once
more transformed into a land flowing
with milk and honey. Many of the
rich foreigners making investments
are Jews and leaders in the Back to
Jerusalem" movement. The figurative
prophecy of the two women grinding
at a mill is recalled by the setting up
of 17-horsepower Chicago windmill
in the interior west of the Jordan to
run a large grist mill. Bicycles are
common on the streets, and the muni-
cipality of Beyrut had added $4,000

Chicago, ILL.,, July 26.-Rain in Iowa,
eastern Nebraska, the Dakotas and
Minnesota has saved many a bushel of
corn from the devouring sun.
0Yet last night the president of the
Chicago Board of Trade. backed up by
Ne experience and detailed informa-
ton. estimated the total corn crop of
the country at / .45O, 100000 bushels, or
u shortage of 6O0,000,0O0 bushels as
compared with last year.
In Kansas and Nebraska. all of the
former and most of the latter is
scorching still, the thirsty earth being
unrelieved by rain.
Missouri, too. is suffering on, the
corn crop is given up as impossible
and trees are dying in the forests sim
ply for lack of rain.
Government officials casting about
a weather eye see little or no hope for
the portion of the corn belt blistering
under the devastating sunshine. High
temperatures are to continue and rain
is a word barred from the forecast.
Yesterday the mercury ranged from
ninety to 102, the maximum at Con-
cordia Kansas; Des Moines, Iowa,
and Omaha. Chicago is being steamed
into agony, the temperature last night
being eighty-seven, the hottest of the
day, and the humidity greater than
usual at this point
The corn market went off yesterday

Washington. July 26.-The board of
inquiry which is to investigate the con-
troversal points in connection with
Admiral Schley's conduct during the
Spanish War will be composed of Ad-
miral Dewey, president of the court,
and Rear Admirals Lewis A. Kimber-
ley and Andrew Il. X. Benham. The
court will meet at the Navy Depart
ment in Washington September 18th.
0oretary Long announced these facts
yesterday.
The Judge advocate of the court has
not yet been selected and the precept
to the court, which is being prepared
by Captain Lemley, judge advocate
general has not yet been completed.
The scope of the inquiry VIII not be
known until the precept and order for
the convening of the court are issued.
1t is expected that they Will be promul-
gated by the department tomorrow.
Secretary Long says, however, that
the proceedings of the court Will be
open and that the widest latitude Will
be permitted in the matter of witness
es, and that Rear Admiral Schley Will
be allowed to be represented by coun-
sci. The secretary had nothing to say
about the composition of the court eX-
-cept that he thought it spoke for itself
and to express the hope that the mem
bers chosen would be satisfactory to all
concerned.
He pointed out that none of the DILL
GERS chosen had. so far as he knew, ex-
pressed an opinion concerning what is
known as the Sampson-Schley contro-
versy. and it was therefore to be pre-
sumed that they would enter upon their
work in an impartial and unprejudiced
spirit.

The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found In
many drug stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and no
druggist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t Is done every
day without doubt.

Whereas, in order to accomplish

whereas, in order to successfully

Successful Diplomacy,


The State Department has received
the amount of the American indemnity
for the claims against Turkey, 500. 900,
through the American legation at Con-
stantinople.
The money was paid by the Turkish
government to Mr.. Leishman. our min
lister at Constantinople, was by him
placed In the Ottoman Imperial bank,
and drafts remitted for the amount
These drafts have just reached WASH
ington. AS is always the case, the
claims in the aggregate considerably
exceed the amount of indemnity actu-
ally paid. but our government has ex-
pressed itself satisfied with the pay
ment. 1t assumes full responsibility
for the distribution, the Turkish gov
ernment paying down lump sum of
500, 900 and leaving 1t to the State De-
partment to distribute it among the
claimants. at its discretion. and after
its own fashion. 1t is stated that as
soon as the department officials can
prepare the list it will communicate
directly with the claimants.
These claims are principally based
on losses suffered by the American
missionary and educational institu-
tions in Turkey. notably those at Har-
poot and Marash. but there are num-
ber of individual claims, such. for in
stance. as that of the family of the un-
fortunate Cyclist LEM. the Pittsburg
man who was killed by Turkish sol
diers while attempting to go around
the globe on his wheel.
The State Department officials feel
the greatest satisfaction at the settle
ment of these claims. Secretary Hay
had been told by diplomats skilled In
the ways of Oriental diplomacy and eX-
perienced in the political conditions of
southern Europe, that he never would
difficulties the State Department had to
contend with was the jealousy of the
great European powers. most of whom
had claims against Turkey vastly
larger in amount than ours. and whose
total was beyond the ability of the
Turkish government to meet.
For more than n decade the Ameri
can claims have been pending. Minis
ter Terrell initiated them: DIR. Angel
went over to collect them, expecting to
be so engaged only a short time, but
he returned unsuccessful, after several
years in Constantinople. Then Minis.
ter Strauss took them up, and when
he resigned he passed them along to
young Mr.. Griscom. The latter only
recently committed his heavy charge
to Mr.. Leishman, and while to the lat
ter belongs the credit of actually col
lecting the money, it is said at the
State Department that every one of
the officers named has contributed val

A Historic Punch Bowl.

Quite possibly the most revered piece
of silver plate in the United States
navy is the massive 1S-pound silver
punch-bowl of tie battleship Indiana
which bears the honorable scars of an
historic battle. During that famous
blockade and naval battle before Santi
ago de Cuba this rich piece of table,
ware was struck by a fragment of n
mortar shell fired from the Socapa
battery, and which burst in the ward
room passage of the battleship. A five
pound bit of the shell struck the bowl
on one of the stoutest parts of the
body, just where the seal of the state
of Indiana forILs the central portion
of beautiful decoration. The seal ia
still there; not as the artist designed
1t, for it now forms a part of n
large, irregular indentation, which. In
the estimation of the officers and men
of the battleship. enhances the value
of the bowl a thousand times over
Woman's Home Companion.
Clubs Have Their Advantage.
/ think 1t must be owned that the de-
partures from the old order of home
life have greatly ameliorated the con-
dition of the weak, the timid, the less
self-assertive writes Bishop Potter in
the Woman's Companion. In any given
home circle it is not always the clever
est or the strongest who claims and
exercises the mastery. A shrinking and
sensitive nature will not fight for its
precedence in the home any more than
out of it. A gentle, modest woman will
often be overborne by her loud. push
ing and vulgarly modern children. A
man of refinement and real force will
often let himself be bullied by a brawl-
ing woman because his very nature
makes him mo brawler." Now, In the
old days, so far as social intercourse
was concerned, it was largely a ques-
ton of the home-or-nothing. If there
was no bright talk, no diverting rec
reation, no songs and laughter there.
there was none anywhere.

Pocket
Monkeys

The latest fad in the way OF pets is
the pocket monkey. 1t is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country in
his present capacity, and he might be
said to have taken the hearts of pet
lovers by storm. Now his popularity
has become so great that the men who
make business of catering to the
whims of the people who like pets say
that the demand for the pocket mon
key is five times as great as the sup
ply. They predict bright future for
the new favorite just as soon as the
people down in Brazil can be made to
understand what a good commercial
article they have and thus be induced
to make a regular business of captur-
ing these monkeys and shipping them
up here.
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior of Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders. He is.
perhaps, the smallest member of the
monkey family known, being about
fve inches long, but with tail that is
sometimes three times as long as his
body. He belongs to the marmot fam
lily of monkeys, and Is extremely neat
In person and cleanly of habit. II 1t
wasn't for those characteristics, he
would not be holding the place he does
in the hearts of those who have in
vested in him.
