The house meeting, the senate not
sitting, passed the bill to create the
office of state tax commissioners and
rejected the senate amendment to the
appropriation measure carrying to-
tai Of a million dollars for the Con-
federate veterans

ment to him right away and follow 1t
up with an appointment to fill the va
cancy created on the commission. The
new place carries a salary of $4,000.
The fight on the pension amend
ment, which increased the total appro-
priation by $35OOOO was intense and
the sentiment for following the lead
Of the senate was strong. There was
no way to do 1t, however, save in par
ing the general appropriation items
about three per cent and on Represen-
tative Everett's plea the house declin-
ed to do it.

NAV Prorate Appropriations.

The senate adopted the Gallert
amendment increasing the annual ap-
preparation for pensions to Confeder-
ate veterans from $750,00O to $1,000
600, which action was nullified by The
house, and a committee amendment
raising the annual appropriation for
the East Carolina Training school
from SS5,000 to $105,OOO.
The increases raise the biennial ap-
preparation for maintenance OF state
institutions to the unprecedent total
of sS,S63,15O, and will create an esti-
mated deficit in the two years OF $555,-
1872. However, this reficit will be avert
cd by another amendment offered by
the committee and adopted by the
senate which provides that If deficit
becomes apparent, the Governor and
the Council for state shall pro rate
the same among the several appropria-
tons.

trying to see how many eggs they can
break By the ones they have, holding
them In a vertical position. The bro
ken egg becomes the property of the

OF the Orient. On this occasion peo'
pie have parties to which they invite
their friends. Greetings and good

sweets, as we'll as the best dishes, are

Syrian homes.
The Jaffa gate, which was made fa'

On Green Thursday before Easter
the vast number of visitors walk
down the, slopes of Mt. Mira, on
which the temple stands, cross the
Kidron valley near Sitti Miriam, the
tomb of st. Mary, and enter the gar
den after ascending distance up the
Mount of Olives. For lack of space
to accommodate the visitors, they are
allowed to remain short time on the
place, during which they can sing a
hymn or read a passage from the New
Testament and then make room for
newcomers. Hymns characteristic OF
all Christian nations are sung In al
most every civilized tongue In the
quietude of the garden.

New Bridue Shortens Route.

Twenty miles have been wiped out
of road travel between North and
South by the completion Of the new
bridge over the Roanoke River near
Palmer Springs, and besides being
boon to tourists and commercial
travellers, links up the capital OF Vir-
ginia and the Capital of North Caro-
lima in a closer tie.
Now, 1t is possible for motorists to
forgo the devious route from Raleigh
through Durham, oxford and Clarks'
Vile to Richmond by the simple ex-
pedient of a straight road from ha-
leigh through Henderson, over the Ro-
anoke River Bridge to South Hill and
thence to Alberta, Dinwiddle, Peters
burg and Richmond.
The bridge displaces the ferry
which has served for travel across
the Roanoke River.

THE place in front of Bal ell Kali
l. Is the busiest section of the whole
city. An observer of the life during
Easter time sees mixed human
stream passing in and out through
the "Gate of the Friend" This con-
tinuous stream is made up Of repre-
sentatives of all nationalities, tongues
and creeds.
Bal ell Kali is the center OF traffic
of the city. Here the vehicles stand
In line ready to convey the natives,
as well as the tourists, through the
city and through the country. Camel
caravans In their characteristic slow
pace share the pavement with the
modern motor-driven cars. A scene at
the Jaffa gate during the Easter sea

i toned that Jerusalem has been cov-
cred by a white carpet of snow 70
inches deep, and that due to the ex-
cesslve snow load one of the old olive
trees in Gethsemane gave way and
fell. The fall of this tree has again
fulfilled another prophecy stating that
Jerusalem will be delivered from the

trees should fall.
