Jeffries' defeat.
WHAT WAS 1T?
In the first place, there is no
denying the fact that Johnson
showed the greater speed. strength,
judgment and skill His remark
able defense was ever to the fore,
and Jeff's best efforts were turned
aside as a ducks back turns aside
water.
But was it the negro's superior
fighting quality that won the bat
tie for him; was it lucky punch
or was it strange pail that seem
ed to come over Jeffries the mo-
ment he stepped into the ring?
Fair-minded critics will not take
anything away from Johnson for
the victorious battle he fought. He
fought clearly, cleverly and with
his consummate skill he combined
the qualities of gentleman so far
as gentlemanly conduct can go in
the prize ring, where the principal
aim of each contestant is to
knock the block off" of his hon
orable opponent. Jack never trans
crossed the rules. He took no un-
due advantage while the referee
was not looking, but dashed out

Little Lenora Alexander, aged
six, was an early holiday caller at
the office of Police Surgeon O'Shea
yesterday. Lenora knew it was
the Fourth of July, and was not
up very long before she got busy
celebrating the day with all the
fervor of her childish energy.
While thus engaged she ran a long
splinter into her hand, which re-
quired the attention of the police
surgeon before relief was given.

Mrs. James S. Sherman, wife of
the vice president, who is now seri-
ously ill at the Johns Hopkins hos
pital in Baltimore, is essentially a
housewife and mother. She did not
live in Washington during all the "a
years her husband was in congress,
and it was with great reluctance
that she left her Utica, N. Y, home
and entered into the fashionable
and political life at the national
capital when her husband became
vice president.
Mrs. Sherman has made an eXcep-
tional Washington matron, for she
says that she has no opinion on
politics, and she refuses to talk
politics" at all. She doesn't belong
to a woman's club and she hasn't
the least idea about bridge.
But she has for years prided her
self upon the way she can keep
house and mother" her there boys.
Her whole life is best illustrated in
her own words:
Il have never gone fitting
around in society because l have
had to bring up my boys, and now
| have my grandchildren. l think
a womans home is enough of a
sphere for her"

Jeffries was practically blind, and
when he dashed out, it was merely
by instinct. He could not see, but
knew the negro was before and
not behind him.
Blinded or not, too long out of
the ring to come back, a victim of
nerves or what not, Jeff was whip
ped and fairly, and a more mag
unanimous enemy, despit <V6lor or
any other prejudice that may exist
against the champion, he never
met.
LOST EVERYTHING BUT
COURAGE.
That Jeffries had nothing what
ever is quite commonly agreed.
What he did have, and he showed
plenty in training, he must have
left in camp, for the speed, endur-
ance, strength and everything else
that seemed to be necessary to a
successful battle were his while
working both at Rowardennan and
Moana Springs. In the very first
rounds he showed evidence of hav-
ing lost everything save confidence
and courage. He was slow of foot,
hand and eye; was blocked with
ease, could not land solid punch
when he had the opportunity, and
in the clinches he seemed as weak
as a child. Some of his efforts in
the early stages were pitiful. As
early as the third round in half
clinches his attempts to prod John
son in the stomach had every ear
mark of the fighter gone for good
whipped, but not knowing it,
| hoping against hope and believing
that if he could land enough of
the puny blows he was essaying to
send in, he would work out the
chance to put over the finishing
punch. But it was not to be. JEFF
fries was a goner after the second
round. Whether it was due to the
loss of his goat the punch on
the eye, or just natural superiority
on Johnson's part will be questions
to be argued out for months to
come

the Mount Of olives, where the resur-
rection is to take place. There is a
Jewish cemetery on the side of that
mountain which contains thousands of
tombS, and it is there that the Jews
are laid away. It is said that soil from
that spot is sent all over the world in
order that it may be put in Jewish cof-
fine Not a few of the .old men who
live here have left their business to
come. Some have given their foreign
estates to their sons and relatives, and
receive allowances from them. Not
long ago one such came to the Ameri-
can consul, and said he would like to
have some money to found a synagogue
in Jerusalem. He looked dirty and
raggeds and the consul asked what he
had to leave. He replied that ne owned
under other names six good houses IN
Jerusalem and that the money from
these had been saved out of an allow
ance of a thousand dollars year
which his sons in New York had been
sending him.
How the Jews Keep the Sabbath.
The Jews of Jerusalem are far more
particular as to the observance of their
religion than are the Jews of America
There are more than 100 synagogues
in this city,, and in all of these wor-
ship is held. 1 have attended many of
the services and find the churches
usually full. The men read Hebrew
aloud. They come in their best clothing,
and some of the old men are gorgeous
in rich gowns of velvet and silk.
The Sabbath here begins Friday
night, and it does not end till 6 o'clock
Saturday. The beginning is just as
soon as the stars can be seen Friday,
after which no work of any kind must

lighted, and the most of the people
light their lamps before the dark comes
and hire Gentiles to come in at bed
time to blow them out. The meals for
the Sabbath are all cooked beforehand,
and if there are any hot dishes they
must be cooked by the Gentiles.
The orthodox Jew will not carry a
bucket, an umbrella or even baby on
the Sabbath day. 1 have just heard of
a boy who was given a new suit of
clothes Saturday, his Sabbath The gift
was made by one of the American col
ony outside the walls, and the people
there watched to see how the boy couId

home He pondered some time, and
finally put the clothes on and wore
them, thus escaping the sin of carrying
them on Gods holy day.

JERUSALEM, Palestine. Oct. 90
The Jews are rapidly coming into
their own This holy city now con-
tains more than $4,000 of them, and
they form over two-thirds of its whole
population. By the new constitution of
Turkey they have acquired the right to
own land in Palestine, and they can
come and go as they please This has
not been the case until now. Jewish
immigration has been prohibited, and
such Jews as bought real estate have
had to purchase and hold it under other
names. This was so not only here, but
all over the country. But, notwith-
standing they acquired land, and 1 am
told that some of the best farming
properties of the plains of Sharon are
in their lands, and that they own the
most valuable business sites of Jerusa-
lem, The new constitution gives them
other advantages, and it is probable
that they viii rapidly increase in num-
Der and wealth.
The Jews of the Holy Land.
The Jews of Palestine are not like
those Of America They have a costume
of their own, and come from so many
different localities that it is not always
possible TO tell who they are. Among
them are Persians, Spaniards, Russians,
Bohemians, Poles and Germans. There
are many Algerians and Moors, and L
have seen some from Abyssinia and
Egypt
They speak 40 different languages,
and there are many whom the others
cannot understand. In the main there
are three different classes. First is
the Ashkenazim, made up of Jews from
nj A77S< trio
These people are much like the lower
class Jews OF America, and their COM
mon language is Yiddish The second
class is the Sephardim- They are Span
fish Jews, descendants of those who
came here centuries ago. These Jews
speak mixture Of Spanish and Jewish
The third class is the eastern Jews,
made up Of Israelites from Syria, Per-
STA, Arabia and Central Asia. They
speak Arabic and look much like Mos
lens.
American Citizenship a Cloak for
Fraud.
AS to the American Jews. they are
comparatively few, and it is seldom
that you meet one that has been born
in America Those who claim to be
such are chiefly natives, who have gone
TO the United States to get their nat
uralization papers, and then returned
here to live Many Of the latter are
frauds, and our consul believes that
some Of them have bought their natur-
alization papers, and have never been
out Of the country. American citizen

found it serving as a cloak for crime
One man who claimed to be an Ameri-

carried on big business, and although
the officials were aware of his criminal
practices they could not arrest him. 4

say, brings about twice as riuch per
pound as that sold to tie Gentilas
If the meat is good to eat il is known
as kosher. If not killed according to the
regulations it is called tar:f, and no
Jew Will touch it. The killing is done
by the rabbinical butcher, who cuts
the animals throat with one stroke Of
the knife, going just deep enough not
to touch the bones. The regulation

Most of the Jews here will not eat
the hind quarters of any animal, and
the hind legs and loins are sold TO the
Gentiles. The Spanish Jews say those
who eat pork will be damned, bus they
get around eating rump steak by pull
ing out the sipews or scraping off the
red particles of the meat and making
what we know as Salisbury steaks
from them.
In the Jewish Quartec.

confined 10 the southeastern section
Of the city. It is near the great plat

and inside the Dung safe 1t is a dirty,
squalid, poverty-stricken section. and is
inhabited chiefly by beggars. large
part of the Jews here are mendicants,
who live on the aims sent in by Jews

and the people come for il in crowds.
There are funds which are supplied
at regular intervals to those who need
them, and much Of the population is
supported this way. They, might be
called educated paupers, for it is their
chief business q live without working.

The Jews of other lands are liberal
in their gifts to the Jews of Palestine.
They have established schools and hos
pitals in and about Jerusalem, and
have agricultural colonies scattered
over the country. These colonies al
ready comprise 5000 members, and they
own something like 100000 acres of
land. Some are in Galilee, some in Ju-
dea and a very large one is not far
from the seaport of Jaffa.
The latter is known as the Rislion
lie Zion. 1t supports a village of 500

The other colonies are similar to it,
and some of them nearly as large. Each

WaiIing the Loss of the Temple.
1t is on the edge Of his Jewish quar-
ter, just below the Mosque of Omar,
where Solomon's temple once stood, that
the Jews come weekly to sorrow over
the loss of Jerusalem and pray God to
give the land back TO them. The Gus
tom has been observed since the middle
ages, and it is still celebrated every
Friday afternoon and Saturday morn
ing. 1t takes place in a narrow alley
surrounded by miserable houses. One
side of this alley is walled with great
blocks of limestone, which form part
of the temple area. Against this wall
about so men and women were leaning
when l visited the place last week.
They had their heads bowed and many
of them shook with emotion as they
prayed, sobbed and walled. The most
of them were old. and the long, curly
locks which fell down in front of their
ears were of silver. Others were just
in their prime. There were also young
men and young girls. Not few of
the male mourners wore European
clothes, and l saw one woman wailing
in a hat and gown of Partisan construc-
ton. Most of the women, however
were dressed in Jewish costume with
shawls wrapped around their heads.
Each of the mourners had a book in
his hand and read the Lamentations of
jeremiah, swaying back and forth as
he did so. Now and then the whole
party broke out into a chant. a gray
haired rabbi acting as leader and the
rest coming in on the refrain The
substance of one of the chants was as
follows:

May the kingdom soon return to Zion.
