A fierce flame burned in a case of
steel. The apostles zeal was con-
trolled by brain which might have
been that of a great general or finan-
eier. Those who ieered at his fanat-
ieism would have been no match for
him in diplomacy or the work of or
ganization. In their directness Of
aim at the very heart Of the matter in
hand some Of his letters read like ex-
tracts from Napoleon's correspond
ence. He reused enthusiasm, but
could not control it. He who said,
"Scream no more on the pain of
damnation,' was no spiritual-contor-
zionist or lover Of rant. He who ex-
claimed, ~Oh, what is so scarce as
learning, save religion" did not idol
ize voluble ignorance. He

Louis Miller's fox terrier. two
years old, killed a baby sparrow at
Third and Wabasha streets and then
had to fight for his life against COM
bined attacks of several hundred 9TH

dog accompanied Mr. Miller on busi-

when he saw the birding futtering
to the sidewalk pounced upon it with
his paws and teeth at the same time.
The owner of the schnabei thought
nothing Of the incident until he
heard vigorous twittering all
around and saw the terrier dash mad

fury of the vengeful sparrows. The

forest conservation to Southern in

one OF the notable tnings IN the
Ire Oh Jerusalem OF to-day Is the IN
crease OF newspapers since the adop-
ton OF the constitution. These four
page papers, partly printed and part
ly mimeographed, are Al houds and
Al lnsat' IN Arabic, appearing twice
week; AL Ahlan and Mounabihil
Amouat, In Arabic, issued once
week; and two jewish dailies called
Parues and Anerout. Al houds, or
Jerusalem, is the best; Al lnsaf Is
issued by Greek Church laymen
against the clergy; Al Ahlan, or
Dreamers, comes out on Sunday as a
sort OF "scurhng' paper against the
Greek clergy; the with the
longest name is5a weekly insult to the
Latirrciergy, and translated its name
lads sWaker of the Dead Ones - A
uaiiy teiesraph uuiletni IN Araolc
and french is also pubhshed.
sor years there mas been jewish
daily called hazeVir. Ihe govern
ment mas printed weekly bulletin
half IN Arabic and half In Turkish.
FOR some time the creek clergy pub
llshed a paper against the laymen OF
their church with the title Bachir
Philistine. Il was recently discon-
tinued when the editors life was
sought.
Like many another novelty the
new papers tend to be overdone. Their
criticisms have been so severe and
their ability to report matters of pub
lie concern with exactness, so incon-
siderable, now and then. that 1t is
rumored that a censor is to be ap-
pointed, whose business it shall be,
not as of yore to suppress news, but
to see that facts are not unsupported
and matters or personages not mis-
represented.
One matter Of grave Importance
Is the constant strife between the
clergy and the laity of the Orthodox
Church, as distinguished from the
Russian Church. There is increas-
ing dissatisfaction with the arro-
ganee. the ignorance and the financial
mismanagement Of the Greek clergy.
This dissatisfaction publicly expressed
not two months ago cost the lives of
several men. For several days a de-
termined mob of Greeks laid siege to
the ecclesiastical authorities and
filled all Jerusalem with fear. The
quarrel was temporarily terminated
by orders from Constantinople. but
the main issues yet remain as points
of rabid and personal discussion. The
charge is openly made by the laymer
of the Greek connection that theil
priests are too fond of wine ant
women. They insist that it is higl
time that the clergy secured bette
education for themselves, demandel
larger intellectual qualifications fror
