been in the last decade that often Turkish soldiers have been forced to intervene
 French, Greels and Italian consuls have at times been dragged into the controversies that resulted from these outbreaks. Apparently no per manent peace is ever to come to the tomb of Him who as his cardinal doc Urine taught the law of peace.
 For the events that made the tomb of Christ a permanent battle-ground the devout Helena and Emperor Constantine are indirectly responsible, though the motives that led them to Jerusalem were the holiest.
 First Helena embraced Christianity, and then converted her son. Emperor Constantine. Once in the faith he made it his resolve that Jerusalem, city of the holiest deed in the worlds history, should not be neglected. With reverent care Constantine and Helena sought out all the spots that were identified with the Holy Passion and erected on them churches and suitable memorials.
 Over the spot where the cross was placed a chapel was erected, and the sacred wood itself was retained in Jerusalem by Helena and placed un- der the great basilica or church erect ed by Constantine over the place of Christ's burial
 The erection of these buildings, par ticularly the church, made Jerusalem 8 place of pilgrimage, such as it has remained 10 this day. For 300 peace Basilica, and nothing bat the wor- shipping songs and prayers of the faith ful rosounded over the sacred stones.
 In 61i warfare and slaughter came upon the holy spot. Jerusalem was stormed by the Persian king, Chos- roes H. The Christians made their bravest defense at the door of tho church. but were defeated, and the tomb of the Saviour was the prey of heathen Fourteen years later Em- peror Heraclius regained possession of the tomb for the Christian faith.
 Even the end of the wars between the infidels and the Christians did not bring peace for the Saraeen control was disputed by other heather na- tions. The Mamelukes took the city in 1882 The Turks recovered it in 1517 by the vaior Of Sultan Selim. The son of this leader. Soliman. built the wall that now surrounds the city.
 At last, being unable to occupy the home Of the scenes of the Holy Pas sion, the Christian nations made an agreement with the sultan by which they oeded his right to control, but got in return permission to worship there, and to have the sacred basilica in charge of Chnztian priests
 But even this has not brought peace to the tomb, and strife and hatred stiil reign where only love and wor- ship shoald be.

IOWA CITY GETS FAME.
FORT ooDeE's MOCK MARRIAGE
 ACT A NATIONAL JOKE.
Document Which Terrorixed Bachelors and Spinsters Credited to Mayor Best Ad. for Town Since
 Cardiff Giant.

Fort Dodge, sla-Not since the days of the Cardiff giant has Fort Dodge had such signal distinction heaped upon it as has been conferred through the introduction of the marriage or djnance in the city council recently. Not long ago people who did not Know that there was such place as Fort Dodge, Ia., are today talking about 1t. From almost every state in the union letters have poured in, either con demning the ordinance or upholding it's originator in his purposes. The past few days the mayors mail has been burdened with an unusually large number of letters from girls, who have asked him to put them in correspond ence with some of the more eligible bachelors of the city, whom the may or declares are growing entirely too numerous.
 As is commonly the case with the unheard-of, some small incident can be traced to the beginning as the prime mover that suggested the idea, and the marriage ordinance in this case is in no wise an exception. It all came from small matter originating with the police force. On the force are two bachelors, Peter McCabe and John Dudley, who have had to endure the expense of all ''layoff' on account of the other members being married, and the mayor favored them. Both of these men protested at the discrim- ination, and at last the mayor sug- gested that the only way in which
