BISHOP SPALDING MAY
SUCCEED ARCHBISHOP FEEHAN

Right Rev. John Lancaster Spald-
ing, who is senior sulTragan bishop in
the archiepiscopal see of Chicago.
and who is being favorably talked of
to succeed Archbishop Feehan, has
been for p years bishop of Peoria.
He was born in Lebanon, Ky, in 1910,
and as a boy was Il favorite of his
uncle, Martin j. Spalding, then bishop
of Louisville and afterward arch
bishop of Baltimore. The present
bishop of Peoria studied in Rome as
well as in America. His first charge
as priest was at the cathedral in
Louisville, whence he went to New
York City. On May 1, 1877, he was
appointed bishop of Peoria, then a
widely scattered diocese, but now,
through his labors, comparatively
compact and much more important.
Bishop Spalding's writings have made
him known all over the world as "A
scholar and literary man; he is es-
pecially interested in education, and
has written much on the subject He
laws special stress on cultivation OF
the moral and emotional qualities.
believing that prevailing education is
too exclusively intellectual.

Destruction 10y Turk.

The Holy Land is beau
tiful but blightcd country. Ev-
erywhcre may he seen traces of
its former fertility and glory, but
upon every fair thing may also be
seen the scar of the Turks destroy
ing heel. We entered the land at
Haifa. just north of Mt. Carmel. and
first rode across to the Sea of Tiber-
las. then southwark by way of Cana,
Nazareth, Shechcm and Bethel to .Ic-
rusalcm, and i'm all this distance Hal
ia, Nazareth, Shechem and Jcnin are
the only well built towns. The rest
are villages of mud huts. The val
lcys are fertile and well cultivated,
and even the rugged hills and noun
tain sides are capable of supporting
fruit and olive orchards when prop
erly terra ccd and watered from res
ervoirs; but the government taxes
every fruit-bearing tree. and corrupt
officials must bc bribcd before i'm
provcmcntS can be made, so that the
energy and ambition of the people
are blighted.
Several years ago an English com
pany obtained permission to build Il
railroad from Haifa to ,Icnin. They
paid roundly for the privilege and
began the work. The roadbcd is
graded. culverts built and some miles
of track laid, but the work has been
stopped by order of the sultan. No
reason is given, but they well know
that ii is more bribe money that is
wanted. Just at present they are
guarding the material on the ground
and playing the Turks own game of
delay. But they will probably be
compelled to put down more money
before they can complete and operate
their road. The sultan is doubtless
afraid of such internal improvements.
for he knows it means the incoming
of many more, and the possible awak-
ening of the down-trodden people.

eied some seventeen thousand miles,

seen no fairer country than the Mis-
sissippi valley, and no community

the tri-cities.
The ride through Palestine ana
the trip up the valley of the Nile to
Luxor and Karnak was the most
agreeable portion of our trip. The
former required week of horseback
riding and tent life which was at
first little severe on those unacclIs-
toned to it; but we had ideal spring
weather and the best of care for our
comfort, and the change after a
month of life on shipboard was de-
lightful.
About one hundred and twenty
five were in our party, of whom per-
haps \one-third were ladies. 1t re
quired an equal number of drago-
men, muletecrs and camp attendants.
