JERUSALEM A PLACE OF WOE,

Miss Helen M. Smith entertained a
large company in the ballroom of the
Tuileries this morning by an animated
description OF the far eastern com.

presented pictures of places rich In
classic and biblical interest-Constan-
tinople, Smyrna (where the tomb of
Polycarp isl, the ruins of the temple
of Diaha at Ephesus, Jaffa and Jeru-
salem were all described in wonderful

Jerusalem" said Miss Smith, cannot
fail to isappoint-grieve one with

ity and deceit; so many Calvaries, so
many graves from which the stone
was rolled awayI There is only one

could see the River Jordan, the Dead
sea, and follow, in fancy, the wander
ing step of Abraham and feel the in
fiuence of the prophets of old.
Jerusalem to-day is surely in need
of an enlightened prophet who will rid
the city of its filth, bring healthy con-
ditions to it's half-blind children, and a
better sense of right to its morally de-
praved people. Here, where the best
examples of Christianity should be
shown are seen the worst. Never mind
where the actual cross borne along

ance that is crushing the people should
be lifted. All ways in Jerusalem to-
day are ways of sorrow"

New Bills Not Popular.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting a cashier. bank officials do
not prefer fresh, new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said a cashier. 1T is
common idea that bank cashiers do
not care to give up crisp paper money.
AS matter of fact, nine cashiers out
of every ten try to get rid of new
money as quickly as possible after re-
ceiving It, There is grave danger to

James A. Tawney.


Representative James A. Tawney of
Minnesota, whose name is being men
toned in connection with the Speak
ership of the Sixtieth Congress in
the event of the retirement of Mr.. Can
non, was born in Adams county, Pen
nyslvania, January 8, 1855. He lived
in Pennsylvania for twenty-five years.
a considerable part of the time in the
town Of Punxsutawney. He was a
blacksmith by trade, but his fame in
those early days rested chiefly upon
the fact that he was the leader of the
Punxeutawney band. In 1877 Mr..
Tawney found his way to Winona,
Mimi, where he took up his trade as
blacksmith and determined to become
a master mechanic. He had studied
in common schools and in night
schools and developed decided liking
for the law. He pursued the study of
law and was admitted to the bar in
1882. Mr.. Tawney was elected men,
Der of the fifty-third Congress. The
late Thomas B. Reed was attracted
to the somewhat raw Western states
man, and encouraged him in his con-
gressional work. Mr.. Tawney's de-
votion to his duties in the house, his
aggressive nature and his popularity
among his colleagues earned
him consideration and prominence
very early in his congressional life
and aided in his successive re-elec-
ton as the representative of the first
| Minnesota district.
