The Butte inter mountain., 1903-12-29

Among these thoroughfares are the
Moorish street. Chemists street, Copper
smiths street, Silversmiths' street, Jewish
street and others. The name of each
thoroughfare affords an idea as to its
character. In Jerusalem the workers in
one occupation prc-empt whole street
that is to say, all the coppersmiths have
their shops on one street, all the chemists
on another, and so on.
In these streets, which are very mar
row, the Worlds Fair visitor will find
native artisans and tradesmcn OF Jeru-
salem plying their vocations. The sill
versmith will live above his shop. lust
as he does at home. 1t is not at all un-
likely that some of the natives who come
to St. Louis will be privileged to occupy
the very house that corresponds to their
own, and in that case they will feel quite
at home, for the New Jerusalem" with
Worlds Fair crowds in attendance will
be very much like the old Jerusalem at
Eastertdc, when thousands Of pilgrims
throng its narrow streets.
These streets themselves are calcu-
lated to astonish the occidental pill
grim. Hardly any Of them exceed ten
feet in width, and some are much mar
rover. In the center is ditch or
trench for the passage OF beasts OF bur-
den. As the trenches are wide enough
for only one beast at time, it is quite
probable that here, as in the real city of
Palestine, there will be various fierce
rivares for the right of way between
the owners or renters OF camels and
donkeys.
Fifty camels from Jerusalem will be
brought to the new city. A consider
able number of donckys--the real Jeru-
salem sort-wil belong to the necessa-
ry furnishings of the city. These ami
mails will provide source of amuse-
ment to the visitors and profit to the
concessionares. The pilgrim to Jerusa-
lem, tiring of walking through the mar
row streets, may hire donkey or
humpy camel and ride triumphantly be-
tween the rows of houses, his legs al
most touching the walls on each side at
some particularly narrow points along
the way.
Across the moat that bounds the cta-
del, Market square, is being laid out.
This is wide space leading off from
the street of David. Here the inhabit-
ants of the New Jerusalem" will buy
and sell goods necessary for culinary
uses. The picturesqucness of the mar
ket place need not be pointed out.
In the Hohammedan quarter of the
city big Arabian cafe will be located,
where the hungry pilgrim may dine in
true oriental style.
Across from Market square is row of
buildings more modern in pattern that
most of the structures in the city. These
are the Austrian postofiice, the United
States consulate, and the Cooks tourist
office. On the other side of the square,
the outer gate of the citadel admits to
bridge spanning the moat Climbing
the inner terrace, one enters the citadel
through wide passage between the
Tower of David and the Tower of Hippi.
Gus.
Within this citadel Herod erected his
palace, building noble towers at three
of the corners, to serve for defense and
ornamentaton. Josephus, the great his
torian of antiquity, says that these tow
ers excited the admiration of Titus, the
conqueror, after the destruction of the
rest of the city, and were left standing,
partly as memorials of his conquest and
partly as shelter and protection to the
camp or garrison which he left behind
upon his departure. Herod named these
towers after his wife, whom he had put
to death because of his jealousy; his
brother Phasaelus and his friend
Hippicus. The Tower of Hippicus still
