Mr. Hanna had a good deal less to do with "educating" the people on the Porto II i can question than several other senators had. The only question of interest in the premises is whether the education was needed or not. Of course there are people who know everything, and they can not see the need of education on any subject. A good many of these oeople are accidentally in control of newspapers. "Pity" is the word everywhere applied to Admiral Dewey's latest blunder. It is appreciated by all that the grand old man has become a mere "jumping jack" in the hands of a morbidly ambitious woman. The other day when his attention was called to an editorial in the Brooklyn Eagle on his Presidential aspirations he remarked: "I should like to call in Mrs. Dewey before making any comments on the editorial. " The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News says: "Itishardw?jnliaV;i. vAWWWUI-it4 sajr that Mrs. Dewey is the candidate." Her vaulting ambition blinds her to the fact that she is as effectually shearing her husband of his well earned honors as Delilah sheared Samson of his strength-endowed locks. The Chicago Tribune, which has always had decided free trade ten. dencies and which earnestly estxmsed the free trade side of the Porto Rican question when the dis cussion of that subject began, takes the following view of the action Of the senate on this subject:. hen the tempest in a teapot is stilled, as it will be soon, it will be generally admitted that no moral principle is involved in this Porto liican legislation, and that the only question is one of expediency of the best method of getting tnrougn brief transition period. It will be conceded oon by all unbiased persons that immediate free trade would have been the worst method of get ting throusrh that period. The Fora ker bill embodies the mature and. de liberate conclusions of almost all the Republican senators, reached after consulting the men best acquainted with Porto Rican affairs. Certainly Republicans are. not prepared to admit that the senators of their party, among whom are many of its ablest and most illustrious members, are incompetent, and that the Democratic senators are more capable legis lators.

JERUSALEM.

Haw it Impressed the Tourists Visit to Historic Points of Interest ia the Aocieot Jewish Capital Letter Nam ber 27. Oorreepondeoee of the Richmond Palladium On Hoard New England. March 9. JtfUO. As to the sights seen in Jerusalem it is difficult to write to interest one who has not seen them. Jerusalem needs a gospel 01 cleanliness. It is indescribably filthy. The streets are o narrow that no vehicles ever go upon them. They are paved with bocks of stone on end. worn so smooth that with the filth and wet that is upon them they are so slippery one must watch that he does not slip and fall. Donkeys and goats and dogs pass over them and the filthy excrements add to the disgust that naturally arises. On the hill slopes the streets are paved in steps, so that the footman is either ascending or descending smooth, sleek stone steps almost constantly Of course thev are crooked and the tourist K " ... .. , must, ir be would see internal Jeru salem. wander about between the houses, first this way, then that through hlth and water, and ever witnessing indecent scenes and ever having the feeling that he is caged in until at last he comes to one of the gates in the wall through which he can pass out and breathe more freely. The stores and markets encroach upon the streets already so narrow, and the donkey has "right of way, so that the footman must step aside to let him pass. At the entrance to cer tain streets an iron bar is placed across at a certain height to prevent camels from passing upon them. We wondered if this did not constitute the real "needle's eve," but learned that it is rather the small gate with in the larire srate. We visited the church of the Holy Sepulchre, and were shown almost everything of antiquity, including the eraves of Melchisadek and of Adam. Yes, even the "center of tht world" is here, and we huddled close to the little monument that marks its place, ut are fearful that we lacked about six inches of standing in it because of the aforesaid monu ment preventing us from getting to the exact sot. Passing from here we went over the Via Dolorosa, past the houses of Pontius Pilate and Caiphas the High Priest, and on our way we passed the German Lutheran church, which the German Emperor came to assist in dedicating. It is a beautiful church, built of squared blocks of stone the most beautiful building as to outward appearance that we saw. The Emperor did much good by coming, and caused such a stir of preparation for a roval truest as has not been known for many a century, and permeated all Palestine. . We went to the church of St. Anne, the mother of Mary, and beneath its spacious enclosures penetrated me rooms where Mary was entertained as a truest in her mother's home Near by we visited the Pool of Hethesda, and in this instance felt sure we were in the treuuine place, ltecent excavations have brought to prac tical use the same stone steps down which the impotent man found his way to the pool, and we too walked down and saw the pool. Looking a little into the soil, where excavations have been going on, we were reward ed by finding an ancient lioman coin. Later, at Jericho, we also lound a coin a mite, such as was put in the treasury by the poor woman. We went through the Gate of St. Stephen and down along the outside of the wall, and saw mauy large stones that were put in bv Sol omon. The Golden (Jute on this side is filled up, because the Mohamiue dans believe that so long as this is closed the Jews cannot regain posses siou of the city. It is said to le the cate throuirh which Christ entered Olivet, on his triumphal entry. Another place of great interest is the Tombs of the Kiugs north of the city. We descended a series of tweuty-five stone steps, each twelve inches high and an average of three feet in width, at the base of which are two fountains, the whole being excavated from solid rock. To our left we enter a large space eightyfour feet bv ninetv, open at the top, and about thirty feet in depth, this too being excavated in the solid rock. From this we entered what I call the vestibule of the tombs. An opening about three feet square is the entrance to them. Hut the most interesting part is the circular stone htted in its groove to be rolled over this opening. Never before did I so clearly understand "they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. And here let me remark at the tomb of Christ at "New Calvary" the groove for t he round stone is there, but not the stone itself. Within are rooms or tombs one after another, and we penetrated them, wondering how all this rock excavation has ever been accomplished. We also visited Solomon's quarries under the city, and down, down, with lighted can dles we went and witnessed the wonderful excavations that have bsen made to obtain rock for the building of the city. We also visited what is spoken of as the heap of ashes made from the sacrifices of the Jews. Whether it be this or not it is im mense, ana is on the north siae the citv. Eli. wood O. Ellis, of Municipal Ownership. Editor Richmond Palladium: It seems to me that the voters of Richmond are going up against a proposition that is of considerable importance with might v little con sideration of it beforehaud. Election day is near at hand, and since the city council passed ineir resolution, now several weeks ago, to submit to the people the question of '"municipal ownership, I have not seen a word of diseussiou on the subject.

cil year ago the question of the city owning the gas works came up, and I was in favor of buying same on the very favorable terms offered by Jas. M. Starr, as I afterwards was in favor of the city putting in her own water works. Rut then the people had not caught the latter-day municipal fever, and a man who proposed it was branded as expecting to make something out of it, although

the present day fashion of doing that sort of thing did not then prevail. Hut we who were in favor of those things then were as honorably so as I am now honorably of the opinion that it would be ruinous to the city to build either gas works, water works, or electric light works in op position to private owners now operating each in our city. If the proposition were to buy them out and there were any guarantee that it would be done at the proper hgure-s it would be different. Hut there would be neither justice nor profit in an attempt to crush them and then take their property at a depreciated value, with the tax payers to foot the bills. It could perhaps be done in time, but I figure that it would take a long time and be a very expensive process to the property owners as well as to the others. As I understand, the present elec trie light company's contract does not expire until 1U04 and their fran chise not until Then, while all is considered fair in love and war, there would be renec tions to live after, and adding the cost of the war to the ultimate pur chasing price we would probably find the result greater than the amount they could have been bought out for in the beginning.

HOW TO CATCH A COLO. The Various Ways la Which It Mar Lie AcruaiaUakra. The various ways in which a cold may lie brought tu are thus described by Dr. J. II. Kellogg: "A little kulfa blade of air blowing In through a crack Iu a u iudow uihu some part of the body will chill that part, aud the blood vessels of that region will become contracted, affecting somewhere iu the interior of the body an area Id retlex relutiou with this portion of the surface of the body. "For lustauce. the blood vessels of the skin of the top of the shoulders and the chest are associated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever hapiiens to (he blood vessels of tba skin of the shoulders and chest happeUH also to the blood vessels of the lungs, if there is a contraction of the blood vessels of the back of the ueck. there will lie a contraction of the blood vessels of the uo&e aud throat, aud if there Is a contraction of the blood Teasels of the top of the shoulders and the shoulder blades there will also be a -contraction of the blood vessels of the lungs. When the influence of the cold Is continued, this cootractioD is followed by cougestlou. ' "When one puts his hands Into cold water for a few minutes, they are flrat pale and then red. This la reaction. The longer the application and the more Intense the degree of cold the greater will lie the contraction and the cougestlou. So If the back of the neck Is exposed for a long time to the Influence of cold one Is likely to bare a cold In the nose ami throat. If tba shoulder blades and the topa of the shoulders are exjiosed. one Is likely take cold In the lungs and suffer from congestion of the lungs. If the cold la long continued. It may. cause not only a congestion, but an Inflammation of the nose or the lungs. Si If the tmttoms of the feet becomo wet or chilled a weakness of the bladder may result If there has ever been a trouble there or a weakness of the stomach If there has lieen a catarrh of that organ."

"have an idea that tieyond the scenes of a stage there Is great fun and hilarity and that actors have a jolly sort of time between their appearances before the audience. The fact Is a military camp during times of inspection la no more sedate than Is the rear of any well regulated stage when the public la front of the footlights Is being en tertained.
