more generally in higher asteem by the

Governor the state has ever honored
not that he IS more brainy than some

walton didn't make an 'exclusive''

Familiarity call him. is another instance.
His unanimous nomination from time

AN ANCIENT PYRAMID.
Ctsry of "the Tomb of the Christian
In Algeria.

Ctsry of "the Tomb of the Christian"
In Algeria.
The tomb of the Christian in Algeria
is a pyramid on the summit of a hill
more than 200 feet high, at the edge of
the sea. 1t dates back to before the
time of ST Paul, having been built by
order or Juba IL, the king of Maure-
tania, as burying place for himself
and his wife, Cleopatra, the daughter
Of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. The
only daughter of Juba and his wife
was Drusil!a, who married Festus, the
governor of Judaea in the time Of st.
Paul. The tomb can be entered by
low doorway beneath one of the four
false doors. These have holdings on
them of a cruciform shape and may
account for the title, 'The Tomb of the
Christian" The passage within the
pyramid winds round and eventually
leads to two chambers shut off from it
by folding doors, which can be moved
up and down by levers. The tomb
must have been rified of all it contain
ed centuries ago, though some think
that by excavating in downward di.
rectiOn 1t might still be possible to dis
cover the burying place Of the king
and queen, supposing the two cham
bers, like the false doors outside, to
be a blind. Doubtless the younger
Cleopatra had brought the idea Of
making royal Ihausoleum In the
shape of pyramid from Egypt. Por-
tons of marble statue Of Egyptian
design were found at Cherchel, sug-
costing that an Egyptian colony may
once have existed there. There are
two other similar monuments in AL
geria, in the provinces of Oran and
Constantine respectively, the latter be-
Ing considerably older than the tomb
OF the Christian, which, however, is
the only one referred to in ancient
writings.-Autecar.

A SOClALISTIC
CONGRESSMAN
MAY BE ELECTED FROM LOWER
EAST SIDE OF NEW
YORK CITY.
Special to The Journal.


New York, Oct. 19.-The Socialist
party will probably elect one of its
representatives, Morris Hillpuit, tC
congress from the ninth COMPRESSION
al district on the lower east side.
One of the chief causes for the hope
of Hillquit's supporters is the Rus
sian revolution. There are thousands
of families TIT have lost relatives
in the revolution and the scores of
socialist orators are making that one
of their strong points and picturing
Hillquit as the man who will look out
for the interests of the Jews.
A house to house canvass is being
conducted for Hillquit. and many wO-
men have taken up his cause and are
working for his election. A daily pa
per in Yiddish will be published the
last ten days of the campaign and cir.
culated among Jews, outlining the
socialistic doctrines.
Hillquit, IL successful. will be the
first man ever elected to the Amer.
can house of representatives on the
socialist ticket.
