The Jews of other lands are liberal in
their gifts TO the Jews Of Palestine. They
have established schools and hospitals In
and about Jerusalem, and have agricul-
tural colonies scattered over the country
These colonies already comprise 5000 mem
bers, and they own something like 10000
acres OF land. Some are in Galiee, some
in Judea and very large one is not far
from the seaport Of Jaffa
The latter is known as the Rishon 10
Zion. II supports village Of 500 people,
who cultivate $500 acres OF rich vineyards
and orchards. This colony annually makes
millions Of gallons Of wine and II has
large export Of Jaffa oranges II was
founded by the Rothchllds and afterward
managed by the Hirsch colonization fund,
II is now said to be run at a profit. The
other colonies are similar to #, and some
OF them nearly as large, Each has a
school, drug store hospital and d
synagogue.
The Sir Moses MOntefiOr colonies and
schools here at Jerusalem are doing good
work, and the French-Jor-sh society.

dents do well they are given a capital to
start out with and are established in little

schools the children are so poor that they
are furnished one meal a day, and one
suit OF clothes every year.
In addition TO the above there are many
other sources from which money comes

the synagogues OF the United States which

Jews of the HoIy Land.

The Jews Of Palestine are not like those
Of America. They have costume Of their

localities that it is not always possible
TO tell who they are. Among them are
Persans, Spaniards, Russians, Bohemans.
Poles and Germans. There are many Al
gerians and Moors and ] have seen some

They speak forty different languages
and there are many whom the others can
not understand. In the main there are
just three different classes. First Is the
Ashkenazium, made up of Jews from Rus
STA, Poland, Austria and Germany. These
people are much like the lower class Jews
Of America, and their common language
is Niddish The second class is of the
Sephardim. They are Spanish Jews de-

American Citizenship CIonl.

American Citizenship ClOnlS for Fraud
As TO the American Jews, they are COM

meet one that has been born I'm America.
Those who claim 60 be such are chiefly
natives, who have gone to the United
States 10 get their naturalization papers
and then return here 10 live. Many of the
latter are frauds, and our consul believes
that some OF them have bought their natu-
ralizauon papers ana have never been out
OF the country. American citizenship is a
valuable badge of protection in the lands
of the sultan; and for this reason naturali-
zation papers have been sold by returned
Jews who have again left this country,
said our consul to me:
"Our citizenship has been used TO carry
Ou-~trauds. When 4 first came here 1
found IT serving as "a cloak FOR crime.
one man, who claimed 10 be am American,
was acting as receiver of stolen cattle
and selling them openly. He carried on
big business, ana although the officials
were aware OF his criminal practices they
could not arrest him. This was so because
OF difference between our government
and that OF Turkey
THE treaties provide that the offenses of
Americans against Turks may be punished

tried IN the Turkish courts, and as neither
government would give ia IL was impossible

4 Good place TO Die.

Indeed the most Of the Jews of the
Holy CITY are old men and old women
many Of whom have come here to die
Jerusalem is to the Jews what Beuares
is to the Hindoo. They hold a superstition
that this city is on the direct road to
heaven and that they must come here in
order to attain the latter place. 1 am
told that many Of the Jews Of this city
believe that if they should die in other
lands they will be dragged under the
earth through the globe to the Mount Of
olives, where the resurrection 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. II is said that
soil from that spot is sent all over the
world in order that It may be put in Jow-
ish collins Not a few Of the old men who
live here have left their businesses to
come. Some have given their foreign es-
tates TO their sons and relatives, and re-
ceive allowances from them. Not long ago
one such came TO the American consul and
said he would Ike TO leave some money 10

which his sons i'm New York had been

the Dung gate 1t is a dirty, squalid, pow

chiefly by beggars. A large part of the

WaiIinE the Loss of the Temple.
1t is on the edge Of this Jewish quarter,
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 custom has been
observed since the middle ages, and 1t is
still celebrated every Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning. II takes place In a
narrow alley surrounded by miserable
houses. one side OF this alley is walled
with great blocks of limestone. which form
a part Of the temple area. Against this
wall about fifty men and women We're
leaning when 1 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 i'm front of their ears were OF
silver. Others were just in their prime.
There were also young men and young
girls Not a few of the male mourners wore
European clothes, and l saw one woman
wailing i'm a hat and gown OF Partisan
construction. 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 ana read the Lamentations Of Jere-
mlah, swayins back ana forth as ne dld
so. Now and then the whole party broke
out into a chant a gray-haired rabbi act
ing as leader and the rest coming In on
the refrain, The substance OF one of the
chants was as follows.
o Lord, we pray Thee have mercy on Zion,
Gather the children Of Jerusalem together!
May the kingdom soon return TO Zion!
Comfort those who mourn over Jerusalem,
And let the branch Of Jesse spring up in
