The Resairins Of Jerusalem,

Pueblo Chieftain.
For many years-one might say, for
many centuries. it has been the dream
of the Jewish race, scattered through
out the world, to rebuild again the Jew
ish nation in the old home of the race
and with the capital of the new nation
in the old site of glory and power.
With some of the Jews this has been
no more than dream, hope beautiful
enough to inspire ardent desire and
longing but not substantial enough to be
held as an expectation. With others it
has assumed the proportions Of de-
finite purpose, toward which much
effort and wealth have been expended,
and toward the accomplishment of
which no sacrifice was considered TO be
too great. .a
In late years especially, with the in
crease of political freedom throughout
the world, the Jews have come, in in
creasing numbers, to believe that it is
practicable to callout Of the existing ma
tions the fragments Of this once power
full race and to build again the politi-
cal and social structure Of nation that
has had such powerful and far reach.
ing influence upon the history Of man
kind. sn; M
There have been, however, two par
ties even among the Jews that most
earnestly desired the re-establishment
of the Jewish nation. One party held
to the idea Of going back TO Palestine.
and in, the ancient seat Of the nation,
with Jerusalem Is its capital. restoring
- much - possible Of The former
power. Another party has reccgnissd
the manifest difficulties Of such IN un-
dertaking in the face Of Turkish sover-
eighty over the land, and has adyocat-
ID The easier course IN sa2nftfaG, IN
some Of the unappropsiatsd p10 (1sns Of
the earth region where . Jewish col
ony might bs established under ths pro-
lection Of some enlightenedgovernmsnt
and where new Jewish nation might
possibly be fostsred and developed.
The advocates Of the latter course
were greatly encouraged some time
ago when the British government made
an offer Of = large tract Of good land
located in East Africa, and it has been
supposed by many persons that the &C
ceptance Of this offer by the leaders Of
the Zionist movement was assured.
At the conference in Switzerland,
however, the Zionists, by large ma
jority, last Sunday declined the offer
Of Great Britain and adopted rssolu-
tion declaring thst the Zionist congress
firmly maintains the principle Of the
foundation Of the colony in the Jewish
fatherland, Palestine, or its vicinity.
In spite Of all the difficulties that ap-
pear in the way Of reaching such re-
suit, the colonization Of Palestine by
the Jews is by no means an impossibil
ity. Already large number Of this
race are domiciled in their ancient home
and the number is said to be steadily
increasing.
It is not surprising that the Jews
should desire. even after m manv r~,,t.

Nswspaper Plant Burned.

The new plant of the Arkansas Dem ocrat company at Little Rock was completely destroyed by fire on the night of the 23rd The loss is about $1S0 900. and the insurance is approx imately $100,000 Among the loss sus- tained was mass of state printing, some of which was about ready for delivery. This consisted of two vol umes of Arkansas supreme court re- ports and the acts of the last legisla- ture, all of which must now be printed from the first Dan Taylor, a stere- otyper who slept in the building, was burned to death. During the progress of the fire he was heard to scream for help, and then seen to fall back to his doom. The whole interior of the building was a seething cauldron, and where the flames had not made head way, the building was filled with i'm. penetrable smoke, so that it was not possible to reach him. Several hours later, when his body was found. it was burned to crisp, lower limb being entirely burned away. He leaves a family in Texas. A newshoy was also caught under a falling trolley pole, carried down by falling walls, and se- riously. if not fatally, injured. His skull was fractured.

Joe Clark, better known as Smiling Joe" who was serving a twenty-one year sentence in the Arkansas peni- tentiary for complicity in the robbery of the Clarksville bank and the murder of Sheriff John H. Powers, made his escape from the old penitentiary at Little Rock. He effected his escape by way of the bath room. through the eommissary. and thence through window only a few feet from the walls of the new capitol building. The bars from these windows were re- moved some time ago to be placed in the new penitentiary, and temporary gratngs had been put in the windows iu their stead. All prisoners have ac- cess to the bath room, and Clark made Use of this privilege in making good his escape Clark was regarded as a desperate man. and for long time after his incarceration he was watched with special vigilance the fear being that an attempt might be made by his friends to rescue him By degrees this feeling wore away. The crime for which Clark was serving was the rob bery of the Clarksville bank on FeD- raary 5, 1902. in which there were three other men implicated. Sheriff John H. Powers. who with his depu- ties came upon the robbers while en- gagged in the robbery. was killed by one of the gang.

The Crops and Weather.

The general summary of crops and weather of the state of the weather bureau for the week ending July Fl, shows that the temperature was sea- sonable during the week with ire quent. and in some sections heavy showers. Cotton is small and grassy generally. but where cleaned is mak- ing fair growth; it is not forming well and there is some complaint of insects and rust injuring the crop. In the eastern and southern portions of the state some cotton land has been abandoned. Early corn has improved is doing well and generally is more promising; the late planted is general ly in poor condition from lack of cul- tiyation and too much moisture. Wheat and oats have been injured in shock from rain. Irish potatoes are gener. ally fair to good and sweet potatoes are doing well Apples continue to drop and the indications are for a light crop of apples and a fair crop of peaches of inferior quality.

MAKE A DUTY OF BEAUTY.
A Woman May Keep Her Good Looks
 a Long Time If She Will But Be Patient and Persistent

One woman whose face at 50 is as fresh as that of many woman under 10. ascribes her comelinesS to the fact that she takes a good quarters of an hour to get ready for bed each night and goes to sleep happy in the knowl- edge that she has done all she can to make herself look charming
 In a comfortably warm room shs smoothes the wrinkles away from her face by means of a good bath of good cold cream applied with the finger tips to the brow. the cheeks, very gently beneath the eyes, and on the temples. and with rather more force under ths chin, where a course of tapping mas. sage is pursued to tone up the mus cles that are rather too apt to relax there and give an aged look to that part of the face.
 Two or three times a week sue has her hands massaged, and goes to bed in specially prepared gloves lined with almond cream to whiten the skin and prevent the wrinkled look that elderly hands often exhibit Her weighing ma chine she describes as the thermometer of her appearance When the scales show that she is little too thin and probably lacks stamina, and it's opin- ion is emphasized by the lack -luster of her eyes and the hollowness of her cheeks, she prescribes for herself course of hot milk slipped very slowly as if it were food the last thing at night. and the first thing in the morn ing a cup of good chocolate taken in the same manner.

Another of her fa- nous rules of abstinence Is the dinner Of one dish only, for she holds it a truth, as it undoubtedly Is, that no ons can eat to repletion of one dish. where as the appetite may be tempted by dif- ferent ones to it's own undoing
 Every afternoon this elderly woman takes 40 winks. which she extends from ten minutes to half an hour when shs has an evening engagement in view Her favorite cosmetic cream is mads of the very simplest unguents-nameiy. two ounces of the oil of sweet almonds heated until it is all but hot and thea taken from the fire to have stirred into | it tablespoonful of white yaseline \ few drops of her favorite scent is added and the whole beaten with a fork until it forms a coherent mass.

 Tepid water, in the estimation of this authority. is better for the teeth than either hot or cold water, and the brushes used should only be moderate ly hard and two In number. the ordi- narily long shaped one and a littie round one for rubbing the teeth up and down so as to clean all the parts equally. which one brush fails in doing Cheap brushes where the bristles are not properly fixed should be avoided at all costs.

FASHIONS OF THE DAY.
Black Velvet Ribbon Coming Into High Favor as a Trimming
 Vogue of Silk and Linen.

From all indications silks in various weaves will be the most worn of any material, not excepting linens and yoiles, for dressy wear. For travelling or knockabout wear nothing can excel the various mohars and voiles. but for dress occasions the silk materials will lead.
 In taffeta weaves silk now comes so light and flexible that it may be drawn through a small finger ring, and it has developed good wearing qualities with its loss of stiffness and dressing. "
 The pongees are, of course, among the fashionable gown materials, while for the purse of moderate size India silks in black or white, lace trimmed or made up into the simplest of shirt waist costumes make the coolest sort of hot weather gown for general utility purposes.
 Foulards are always worn, but their tendency to spot and also to run badly when wet are their great faults. and most serious ones, but their high luster and their diversity of pattern and col bring render them attractive to the great majority of women
 Surah weayes in glace or changeable effects and in course wales are also in the market. and checked silks seen are smart.
 In wash materials linen leads Many of the severe white linen costumes have revers, cuffs etc. of a contrasting color. such as rose, pale blue. or a deli cate green or mauye and coats of the colored linen in some instances are be ing made to accompany the frocks, white shoes to be worn with these gowns.
 Velvet ribbon in black as well aa colors will be much used; indeed. It is being used in quantities on gowns now in process of construction The ribbon is used to border rutfies and panels and in loops and fringe efect5.-N. '. Times.

Tailored Linen Suit.

A tailored coat and skirt of linen is a practical thing if thoroughly shrunk before making and well tailored. though the cheap coat and skirt suits of linen are likely to be distressing ob- jects after their first tubbing Tailors who cater to exclusive trade are mak- ing up severely tailored coats. semi- fitting in the back. straight in front and anished with plain coat collar and coat sleeve. These coats usually but ton in double-breasted fashion, with large pearl buttons, and are strapped and heavily stitched. The skirt is gored and strapped or plaited in some se- we're way. but any plaited skirt driyes the ordinary laundress to despair and failure, and the plain gored skirts look better in the long run.
