praying there is much valued item
of Moslem history. and is said to have
been the reason for the mosque which
stands TO the southwest of the Church
of the Holy Sepulcher being called,
after him, Omareyeh. This was on
the assumption that it was outside the
south entrance to the church that he
prayed. The above inscription, how
ever, proves that it was outside OF
this newly discovered entrance from
the east.

portal to the Church of the Holy Sem

nearer one is over the Greek church.
The bell tower of the church is also
seen above to the left. The wall on

INTERESTING ANCIENT REMAINS
DISCOVERED IN JERUSALEM.
Wall and Gateway Undoubtedly Built
During Time of Constantine to In
close shrines Covering
Tomb of Christ.

New York.-Within the past few
days some ancient remains have been
uncovered in Jerusalem that are of
unusual interest and throw a clear
light on the much discussed question
OF the site of Calvary The costly
and imposing Russian hospice. to the
east of the site of the Church of the
Holy Sepulcher. was reared for the
special purpose of inclosing and con-
serving bit of ancient wall and a
gateway which were unearthed some
years ago. The gateway Is covered
with large glass case.
On the northern side of the rear
wall of the Russian hospice there has
Just been brought to light. by the re-
moval of rubbish in preparing for
some alterations and improvements,
another bit of old wall which is on
line with and part OF the wall within
the Russian hospice. and another old
gateway. Ii is now clear that all of
this wall and both of these gateways
date from the time of Constantine,
having been built by him to inclose
the area on which he erected the
shrines covering the then recently dis
covered tomb of Christ and Calvary
The gateway just uncovered opens in
ward toward the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher. the massive pillars being
rabbeted on the western side. 1t is
nearly on line with the two domes
of the church. thus opening almost ex-
actly upon the present church. which
occupies the site of Constantine's orig
inal buildings. The place where the
old bolt of the door abraded the south
pillar is plainly visible. From this
gateway the wall extends south to
point within the Russian hospice,
where it turns eastward, and the
other old gateway. so carefully con-
served. is in this part of the wall. and
so is at right angles to the recently
discovered gateway. The pilot sock

door to swing in, show that 1t opened
southwark into the same area. With.
in this gateway still exists, in stu,
fragments of the old pavement of Con.

Some eight years ago in digging in
the narrow passage way on the north
side of the Russian hospice, an old
inscription was found. in Cufic char
acters. which had been cut into the
stone of Constantine's wall on its out
side face. and little to the south of

puloue shops Of Mexico.

The government of the federal dis
trict is considering the most practical
and lawful way to remove the pulque
shops from the central part of the City
of Mexico.
The government has not given IL
censes to establish any new pulque
shops in the central section OF the
city. and as soon as any of the jul
querias are closed on account OF the
end of the contract for rent or any
other cause, the government cancels
the license. But there are some OF
those shops. the owners of which have
contracts for rent covering ten, fifteen
and twenty years. and some of them
are owners of the buildings occupied.
The government in this case can
not count on the ending OF the con-
tract to close the shops. and is con-
sidering another way to remove them
from that part of the city and still re-
spect the rights of the proprietors.-

meeting OF the local members of the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Association will ~

at which the subject Of opening and clio q
ing hours FOR saloons in the city will re
discussed.
out of a total number or saloons in
wilmington Of something over one hum
dred and seventy. there are but about
eighty saloon men who are members Of
tjse association ana II Is said that out Of
this number there are not few who are
opposed to hxing any hours during which
they shall conduct their business. It IS
held by this class that inasmuch as they
are violating no law by ke ping op.n as
long as they see &c on week days and
opening when they choose there is no az
parent reason why any restrictions should
be put upon them by the association. The
proposed ruling, II Il should be passed by
the association win permit members Of
it 20 open iher places Of business prob
ably at O'Clock In the morning TO re-
main open until midnisht only.
There Is another question which may
be discussed that Of doing away with the
free-lunoh system which many saloon
keepers declare is Improbable. 1t is held
that but few patrons Of saloons realize
the amount OF money it costs TO main
