STORE BURcLARIzED.
Night Visitors Gather in s.5o from chI-
 nese Merchant Wednesday Night.

Burglars did a profitable piece of work Wednesday night, when they robbed the Chinese store next door to Neumann's photograph gallery, securing $150. They effect ed an entrance to the store by prying open a rear window with a small crowbar and an iron bolt. Once inside they broke open the money drawer, scattering the pa- pers about promiscuously and pocketing the cash. The robbery was reported Thursday morning, but close investigation failed to disclose any clue as to the identity of the burglars. The tools with which entrance was effected were left on the ground.

TO FIX BLAME FOB MASSACRE.
Difficulty Attending Settlement Of
Nanchang Incident.

The settlement of the responsibility for
the massacre OF French Catholic and Eng
ifsh Protestant missionaries at Nanchang.
capital of the province of Kiangsi, Febru-
airy a. promises to be difficult and contin-
ues to excite almost unprecedented interest
at Picking. The Chinese profess to believe
that a Catholic priest stabbed the local
magistrate, while the foreigners are equally
certain that the magistrate committed suf-
eide as protest against the Catholic de-
mands and for the purpose Of arousing the
people. Such an act is nowise unusual with
the Chinese.
The Picking government is dispatching
Taotaf LANG, director OF railways to in
qutre into the case. LANG was educated
abroad and has had much dealing with
foreigners, but It IL admitted that he has
q delicate mission II his report favors the
Christians, further trouble Is probable. The
inhabitants of Nanchang are still hostile
and demand that the French pay funeral
honors to the deceased magistrate. The on
Gals OF Nanchang protest against the pres
ence of foreign gunboats. fearing that they
will provoke hostilities.

Researches in Palestine.


Still another interesting and late discov-
cry Is what is regarded by the excavator as
a palace built by Simon the Maccabee.
All account of the siege and conquest of
the city by this man is graphically given In
Mace. ID. For many reasons one of
which Is the finding of an impreca tory In
scription calling down destruction upon
Siinon himself this Is thought to be the
very place occupied by this intrepid Mac
cabean leader. The castle Is a mammoth
;f ana there Is large courtyard just
inside the gateway. There are numbers of
chambers. the use OF which Is only n con-
lecture at present, as some of them have
no openings and as nothing has been found
within them to point to their puryusse The
most interesting part of this palace is a
large pillared hall. which, Mr. MacalIster
thinks. shows how Samson destroyed the
Phliistines in the Temple of Dagon. The
stone pillar bases, some of which were
found, were the supports he believes Of
wooden posts which. in turn bore I'D the
beams OF the roof. BY pushing these posts
from stones on which they rested the ruin
OF the temple would be easily accom-
Dlished.
Let us hope that men of means may see
to 1t that funds are furnished for the
further prosecution of this work and that
at the earliest possible moment the splendid
work now being done by the University of
lineage In the far-away east may be dup
heated In the Holy Land Itself The Pales-
tine exploration fund and other societies
are worthy of all honor for what they have
done and are doing today, but America
ought not to be content to allow all the
labor and all the honor to be accredited
To other nations. Let America be aroused
and do her part in this worthy and most
wonderful work
