The SITUATION BEFORE RICH
oND.-The Chicago Times, of the 18th
in the following article, gives oul
reader better idea of the situation be-
fore Richmond than can be gathered
by hundred telegraphic dispatches
"To.day closes the sixth week of the
grand campaign of 1864. In this time
although the events which have occur
red are vast in their magnitude, hav'
ing been sufficiently great and bloody
to claim the Mortified attention of the
whole civilized world, they are not OF

the North. When Grant commenced

were sanguine in the belief that the
beginning of the end had in reality

thought, would be sufficient TO ami

events, in their belief, which would
substantially crush the rebellion.
1T may disappoint many to assert
it, but it il nevertheless true thai
Grant today, at the close OF the sixth
week, is in reality little, ifany, nearer
Richmond than he was the day ht
crossed the Rapidan. Less miles, tC

these miles that separate the Rapidat
from Richmond that the strength o

TURKS BAN HEBREW SIGNS.
Forbid Their Use OH Dead Walls in
Cities of Palestine.

Jerusalem, July 6.-The Turkish
Government has issued orders against
posting notices in Hebrew upon the
dead walls of cities of Palestine. The
action is believed to indicate con-
Germ on the part of the authorities
over the remarkable revival of the
Hebrew language. Although up to
20 years ago classic Hebrew was not
ordinarily used by the Jews of Pales-
tine, it is now the common language
of tens of thousands. 1t is the me-
dunn of instruction in many schools,
md newspapers, street car tickets
and shopkeepers' signs are in He
Drew 1t therefore is apparent that
the authorities will have a hard time
if they purpose to check the spread
of the language.
The revival of the pure Biblical
tongue, in a. measure, has been forced
on. the Palestine Jews for reasons
apart from the sentimental. lmmi-
grafton from other parts of the world,
particularly of the $4,000 Yiddish
speaking Jews from Russia some
years ago, made common means Of
communication necessary Yiddish is
not understood by the native here,
while all Jews know something of
Hebrew.

KILLED FOR HIS MONEY
Body of Russell Massie Found In

Tell Story of Murder.

Lynchburg, Va, July 6.-After be-
ing missed since Monday, during
which time his friends began to sus-
pect he had met with foul play, Rus
sell Massie, "a middle-aged man, was
found few days ago in briar patch'
about fifty yards from rs nome IN
Amherst County, four OF five miles
from townsville, with two Dullet
holes in his body, one Of which was
near the heart.
Massie had been living on the farm
of Albert Massie, his principal bust
ness being to look after extensive
orchard interests, and it is said that
he was known to have had $500 on
his person when last seen. Robbery
is believed to have been the motive.
Bloodstains leading from the road to
the patch of briar bushes led to the
discovery of the remains.
Massie was unmarried.

TO USE AEROPLANE
Daring Experiment of Astronomer
Ii to Solve Scientific Problem.

Boston,. Mass, July 6.-From the
precarious perch of monoplane ~
900 feet above earth, Professor David
P. Todd, of Amherst College Will
seek to solve a mystery of the CO.
roma of the sun that has baffied as
tronomers for ages.
The world of science is. amazed
at the daring and originality of the
professors scheme for photographlng
the SUMS eorona-those wonderful
streamers of light radiating out
wardly in all directions from the sun
and visible only during the darkness
of an eclipse.
Astronomers will assemble in RIGA,
Russia, next August to study the
eclipse of the sun and there Profess
cor Todd will carry on his expert
anents.
The mystery of ages which Pro-
fessor Todd's photographs may solve
is whether the great bands and
streamers of pale light, some straight
and some curved, proceed from the
gigatic upheavals of vaporized
metals and gases in the sun itself
and are reflected to earth by compare
lively cold gases or concrete parti-
.cles forming the corona, or whether
the light comes forth from incan-
descent material in the corona.
