JERUSALEM LIFE ANOMALY.
May Strange Things Tsund BY Tsur-
lists in the Famozs
Old City.

Life in Jerusalem, according to
Miss A. Goodrich Freer, the author
Of sinner Jerusalem" is one Of
anomalies and anachronisms. The
street arab speaks three or four
languages Apart from the tour
lists, who are representatives Of
half Of the nations of the world,
there are jews, Mohammedans
and Christians. The streets Of
Jerusalem are unspeaksbIy fIthy.
One can buy anything he wants in
the city. There are even French
dressmakers who will follow out
the latest Partisan fashion. Wa
ter is scarce and mainly derived
from cisterns. The rainfall aver
ages only 30 or 40 inches. There
is a trade in good water which
comes from the village Of Ain
KARIN, some three miles distant
from Jerusalem. There is most
unpleasant wind, the sirOcco, which
is fatal 70 vegetation, "exhausting
to the nerves, irritating to the
temper, parching the skin and
ruinOus TO the hair and complex

salem has its special diseases, but
the cure is found in quinine.
Insect pests are the mosquitoes

flies. One NAV keen ont the .acs
quito, but the sand fly is at home
everywhere. Clothing affords no
protection. Flies are Overabun
dant. Winter is more pleasant
than summer. Sometimes on a
winter evening fire is necessary.
After all it is land of perpetual
sunshine, the mean annual temper
allure being GO degrees. With all
its saeredness, Jerusalem is de-
scribed as a "topsy-turvy land"
IL holy place the native takes or
his shoes and wears his hat. The
men sport petticoats and the
women expose their legs, while
hiding their faces. Carpets are
hung on the walls and pictures on
the ceiling. There is no apparent
gratitude, for in Arabic there is
no word the equivalent of ''Thank
you"
Living is cheap. A good cook
can be had by the month for six
dollars. Mutton is worth from
eight to ten cents a pound, chick
ems about % cents a pair. Fruits
plentiful and reasonable. COnsid-
ering the economy of living, the
author expresses her surprise that
so few English live in Jerusalem.
"their number being insignificant
when compared with the Ameri
can residents" The population of
the city is put down at 10000, OF
which 10000 are Jews.

A man could say of his wife: "She

property. He could beat her. He
could deprive her of the guardian

until the end of the seventeenth
century that the law secured to
her a right to the separate use Of

MAN BURNED IN HOTEL FIRE
Identified as John Sundean of Hot Springs Coroner's Jury Fails
 to Fix Responsibility.

Little Rock, Dec. 9.-Further investigation of the case of the man burned to death Friday night in the Busy Bee rooming house on West Markham street has revealed that his name was John Sundean, and that he was a member of the stone cutter s union at Hot Springs. His union card, together with a paper bear ing this name, was found yes terday morning by Deputy Cor oner Brown during the inquest held at Ruebel's undertaking es- tablishment.
 The coroner's jury rendered a vordict of death by fire and suf- location. It fixed the blame on no one.
 No evidence was introduced at the inquest to show that any one had told the firemen that there was man in the room. w. c. Halsell, the clerk who was on duty at the rooming house, stated in response to a question from the coroner that he did not mention the fact to the firemen. He said that some one told him that the man had left the room. Assistant Chief Burns states that he was not informed that any one had been sleeping in the room until after the fire had been extinguished and most of the fremen had returned to their stations. He then went.s to the room to make an investiga- tion and found the charred body lying in the corner.
 Undertaken Ruebel yesterday communicated with the chief of police of Hot Springs seeking to determine if the dead man has friends or relatives. Pending instructions from Hot Springs the body is being held at the undertaking rooms.

Will Make Two New States.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, chairman of the committee on territories, held a conference with the presi- dent today, in part regarding the status of statehood legislation. The senator is confident that con- gress, at the present session, will create two new states, and that the opposition to legislation will not be serious. One state will be created from Oklahoma ard Indian Territory and the other from New Mexico and Arizona. Considerable opposition to single statehood for Arizona and New Mexico exists, but Senator Bev- eridge believes it will not be suc- cessful.

WANTS HUSBAND HORTON.
Wife and Baby of Riley (. Horton Who Purchased ShOwbOat MdeilismIth
 Search for Missing Man.

With an infant in her arms and two small children hold ing to her skirts, Mrs. Dora Morton, aged 81, formerly of Newport, went to the Four Couyts in St. Louis Thursday ant requested the police to find her husband, Riley Cook Horton, who deserted her four weeks ago. She says he was formerly connected with a lumber com pany at Newport. Several months ago Horton bought an interest in a showboat and took his family to St. Louis.
 They took the boat to Grafton, H., and after several weeks of poor business Mrs. Horton in- duced her husband to sell his in- terest in the enterprise.
 After the sale her husband told her he wanted to visit his folks down south, and gave her money enough to pay her fare to Keokuk, Iowa, where her rel atives live. She and the child ren went there, while her hus- band went south. She returned to St. Louis at the appointed time, but he did not.

Miss Hattie Leach. ,

The announcement Sunday of the death of this estimable lady came as a shock to her many friends in Newport, and cast a feeling of sadness into the hearts of many who had known her for 60 many years, and knew the sweet, unselfish spirit that had dominated her life, which had almost from childhood been giv- en to the happiness and pleas ure of those around her, the sick and those in distress always fouad a willing helper in her whose life has just ended.
