MECCA HOLY CITY
Birthplace of Mahomet Visited by
Thousands of Pilgrims.


Thousands of Pilgrims.
Mecca. the birthplace of Mahomet,
out of which the Turks have been driy-
on by the Arabs, was a holy city long
before the birth of the prophet Then
as now pilgrims went to worship at
the Kaaba or Sacred House and kiss
the sacred black stone in its walls.
The city, which is about forty-hve
miles from Jedda, on the Red Sea, has
a population of from 10000 to $4,000,
and the principal revenue Of the inhab-
itants is derived from the thousands
of pilgrims who 80 annually TO the
city.
Mecca is the capital of the Turkish
province of Elejaz, and a Turkish Gov
ernor-General officially rules the city.
The Grand Sheriff, however, member
of a family which claims descent from
the prophet, is the actual ruler He is
venerated and obeyed by both the in
habitants and pilgrims.
Mecca lies in the heart of a number
of steep hills and has a poor supply OF
water. The streets are wider and the
houses of greater height than in the
ordinary eastern city.

ExGoy Fletcher might say out
loud that he is q candidate for the
senate. OF course the voters can
guess what is coming by reading his
advertising, but most of them like an
open expression better.-Hardwic
Gazette,
The same might be said of Senator
Page. Those many imitation personal
letters sent out by force Of typewrit-
ers and clerks to wholesale lists of Yer
mont voters make folks laugh. Of
course every man has to work accord
ing to his own understanding and ideas
and we should not blame a man for his
style any more than for the color of his
eyes, but we are inclined to think that
both Page and Fletcher would do bet.
ter to come out in the open and do
business directly. Or If IL is going to
he question of choosing between
PAGES typewriter and Fletcher's auto
mobile for senator the voters may turn
them both down and hitch up behind

 By Judge Futile.

The grand jury, which has been by Assistant States Attor- ney Carter to convene in this city tomorrow, will consider the ease of Herbert M.
