persecution of the Jews in Russia ana Aus

are largo numbers of Polish and Spanish
Jews in Jerusalem. Our American consul ,

Our consul Rays there arc 150 Jewish syn
agogues In Jerusalem , but thcsu as a rule
are itmall and not BO fine nn the other
churches of the city. The service is differ
ent from that which Is observed In America ,
and the women "worship In a , different room
from tha men. I was in Jerusalem at the
time of the celebration of tha Passover and
t was told that the feast Is now celebrated
much the same as it WAS In the
dnys ot the past , save that a pleca
of burnt bone now takes the place of
the Iamb. At this time tha Jews turned ,
out In holiday atllro nnd I was surprised to
sco rich gowns of velvet nnd silk , of blue ,
yellow anj green on lomo of the ; men whom
I hud teen before In little moro than rags ; I
-attended tbo synagogues and found them all
full. The rabbis were gorgeously cmd and I
have seldom scon more devout congrega
tions. The men wcro all reading Hebrew
out loud nnd in the rooms adjoining I found
women talking over the scriptures or listen
ing to the alder women among them who
were reading. The rabbis ot Jorutittom are
not ongnged In business. Some of them act
rw Judges nnd in tinarrnls among tha Jaws
the suits nro always settled oy them. The
chief rabbi Is now morn than ninety years
old nnd ho has , I am told , lately taKen a new

TUB JEW'S WAILINO 1'J.VCB
where every Friday certain sects meet on
thu outsldu of the walls of the Moaqua of
Omar which occupies ) the site of Solomon's
temple , nnd with tholr heads against the
stones sorrow over the loss of Jerusalem
and pray Goa to give the land back to his-
chonoii people. This custom has boon ob
served since the days of the middle ages and
it is ona. of tha saddest sights. I visited it
last week. In a nnrnow alloy surrounded by
miserable houses on stone llagn which have
been worn with tha bare foot of thousand1)
of Jews against a wall of great blocks of
marble which reached for fifty or moro feet
above them , a Ion ? line of men In long gowns
and of women with slmwlt ever their heads
stood with their heads bowed praying and
weeping. Many of the men had white
boards and the long curly locka which fell
dowtt in front of their cars were of silver.
Others were Jmtm their prime , and , I could ,
not but wouder when I saw the forms of
these nt times almost convulsed with emo
tion. Each had a , well thumbed Hebrew
blbta in hand , and from time to time the
prayer broke into a kind of a- chant , an old
gray-headed man actingas loader nnd the
rest coming In err the rQfaaln. The chant
was in n strange tongue , but as translated It
in as follows :
Leader For the palace that Ues desolate.
Response Wo sit in solitude and mourn.

the genuine feelintr expressed by all and the
faith thut they show in thus cnmiug hero
weals after week and year after
year is wonderfully impressive. It la
indeed one off the strange slants of this
strangest of citlc < s. A nation ib mourned
for , and. other chants which , they utter con
tain such expressions as the following } "Wo
pray theo hnvo mercyon Zlortq gather the

TUB Jewish charitabla institutions at Jeru
salem are many. I have visited several ,
among which are the schools which hnvo
been established'here by the Rothschilds.
These are very largo and" they teach the
young Jews thn industrial arts as well as
give thorn good educations hi other ways. I"
viilted the carpenter shops and saw ITaioa-
tlno Jew5 working away quite aa skillfully as
our American carpenters. I sawbright-oycd
boys working In the tin shops and foundries
making-models which are to go tha etuosi-
tion at Paris , and I was taktm through art
schools.and drafting rooma , wbere these boys
were sketching-and modelling figures out of
clay into very fuirpieces.otsculpture. There
is also , a girl's' school connected with tha
Rothschild , fund nnd this contains moro
than one hundred girls. The establishments
aro-known as those ot thalaraclitish alliance ,
and tlioy are supported by Jewish churches
ever the wnrldias woLn ! by tha Rothschilds.
Among tha curious features.oC thiaaliianca
arc a number of agricuhunU colonies in dif
ferent , parts , of. Palestine. There Is. an agri
cultural school near Jaffa , which has more ,
than sovou hundioiT pupils , and thara arc
night ot those agricultural colonies. Ono of
their farms near Jaffa has 23,000 acres. It. is
situated
oiTTiin I'LAEJS OP aiiAnoN
where the Philistines hvod , uudJt has tons
of thousands of. vmas. and. olive trees. The
Turks ore. very much averse to selling , land
to rho Jaws , , but the latter show themselves
ta be as * good' farmers as they nro business
moa and the terraced condition or the lulls
about Jerusalem shows that the holy land ,
was far bettor cultivated under them than it
Has been under their conquerors. A largo
amount' ot land , just , outside oC the
city of Jerusalem ! is now either In the
tmndrt'of the Jews OB of their uharitablu in
stitutions. MR Hollar , the head of tha Roths-
child , schools , , tells , me they have just bought
the Jerusalem hotel , and. wilnndd ittathoir

la a colony of llf teen , psrsoan who live In a
fine house built on tha very walla of Jerusa
lem , nnd who nro known as "tho Ameri
cans. ' " These1 people ore not' Jews at all.
They are Christians who- nave coma here
from different- parts of tha United Stiites , and
moro especially from Chicago , to await the
fulfillment of the prophecy that God.
.will regenerate the world beginning
at Jerusalem. They boltcvo that
thisduy is1 close nt hand , and
they Hay that it Iras bosun in the Jews com
ing back to 1'alestino. They sco its fulfill
ment in the Improvement ! ! that are going on
in Jerusalem , and elto tho. new roads that
have bear built ever tbo country as one of
thn evidences of it. They arc evidently
people of mcaiiH iw well' as of roflacment
and nulturo. When visited thorn the other
day I talked with saveral of them and found
them Intelligent and well-educated. I asked
one as to their belief and was told that tUo.y
took tha bible as their culdu and that they
had come ta Jerusalem to endeavor to follow
its precepts while living upon Its walls.
They have na > partlculac creed , and one ot
them said when asked as ta this that there Is
too much.preaching ana too llttlo good llv-

they liuvo nqtjat foil called upon to preach.
They spaml" much ot thole time In bible

Then bogged a pansy from my hair ,
And a sprig of blue forgot-mo-not.

That love was love , forever and nyol
And Implied , you never could love but one ;
Your heart would creak if I said you nay.

For a purely gratuitous and : unneces
sary nuisance , unredeemed bv ivsinplo
good quality , tlioEnglisn sparrow run Its
first and foremost , says the Ghicag-o
Tribune. This ugly little dirty-brown
object was introduced into this country
some years ivgo- . when a sentimental fao
prevailed in some "of the e.wtcrn citicsi ,
It was solemnly advanced by the advo
cates of this noise and dirt making
nuisance that ho possessed all the vir
tues which pertain to birds. The
cheerful twitter of the sparrow was to
enliven the- parka nnd open spaces of
the cities , while he would5 earn His own
living , and confiningKimgolf to a
strictly animal diet , would , .uid the gar
dens and trees of counties * my rinds of
worms and insects. Tho" introduction
of the sparrow into the United States
was about as brilliant an 'achievement
aa tbc importation of the English rab
bit into Australia or of the Scot
tish thistle into Canada. Thousand's
of pounds nro spent' yearly by
tbe governor of Australia , aa bounties
for the destruction of the four-footed
pest , and thousands of miles of fencing
have been built at great expense tokeep-
them oil the farms. Even the resources-
of science have boon called , into- play ,
uiid Af. Pasteurhas - tried with little
success to abolish the rabbit liigtio by
the dissemination of % " chickon-eu6ter.t >
microbes. Of the million of do-Hal's'
worth o farm land'which' haa- been
ruined by the Scotch tbistlo any farmer
can toll- But it , like tae sparrow , baa
come to stay , and. the plague is-coni-
stantly on the fncreaao.
The sparrow in no way justifies the
claims of his advocates. Ho ia noisy
und dirty birdrand insteadof living oni
wprras and insects , ho delights in ruin-
ingrgardens by diggingrurfseeds. iieia
of a most pug'nacioua and quarrelsome
disposition , a perfect tSbriwolita of
birds , with his beak agaiu ? > t every other-
bird. Two ou three year * ' * ago Douglas
park was vocal with the \yeot notes of
hundreds of native American , robins. ,
and to-day scarcely ouei can be soon or
heard1. Thia nnnaturalized foreigner
has driven away-tho birds-to the man
ner born , and lords it triumphantly
over all the smaller faathorea"soiigato.rs.
When firat introduced in tha casteroi
cities for it was by Boston angloman-
iacs that-tho interloper was llrss wel
comed , to these shores tbo sparrow ?
became the fashiou , aiuLu lot of senti
mental slush tvaa written and printed
about bis reported good qualities.
Boxes for nests were provided in the
.trees in. the public parks. But with ,
the , native meanness which , is his prin
cipal characteristic the sparrow de
clined , to occupy thesa homes. Instead.1
of thattho stacks-up half a bushel of
chips und straw in a v/atcrspout or
under the eaves of a house , where his ;
litter is most/unpleasant In evidence.
With a-persistence worthy of a bettor
cause , the sparrow devotes himself wlioui
not lighting with ether birds or ruining ;
garden crops to the propagation o his
species , llearing from two to > fouc-
broods per aTinunv , the sparrow ia en
gaged in nidiiication from April until
August , and as each brood usually
numbers flvortho multiplication of this
persistent pest-is boeomiug alarming1.
In.various states legislation has been *
had and-mousures taktm to prevonttho
spread of the sparrow. A few days ago
General Cassius M. Clay declared that
k'tho English sparrow must go. " Ho
says that legislation , private bounties
for tha heads of tha vagrant bird , traps , ,
poisons , and tiio shotgun must be em
ployed to exterminate- pest. His
idea is that the sparrow will , if per
mitted to po on his evil way , cost the
United States many millions of dollars ,
and so ho hoists the black Hag and pro
claims a war a la , outranco against tha
noxious bird.
The truth is that the sparrow is a
fraud.aud a nuisancoito bo suppressed.
In his native landheris tvuatod as a
public onoiny , and no Englishman could
bo made to believe that any people not
originally pestered by his presence
should deliberately Invite him. In Eng
land ho is exempted from the law which
forbids the plundering of. the nests of
other birds , us thq thrush , blackbird ,
starling , und ether songsters. If those ,
or the English lark , all of which live
upon worms and'lnsocta ' solely the block
bird's weakness for cherries cxcoptod
could bo imported and acclimatized here
tha northern states would gain BO mo
beautiful songbirds as well as useful in
sect aostroyora. But the predatory
sparrow should bo exterminated , and it
might bo a good thing to ancourago his
annihilation by putting a price upon his
head. lu the black catalogue of his ot-
fonsos the sparrow must bo credited
with ono exception. Although noisy ,
dirty and useless when alive ho ia good
for food after hia nock is wrung- , and
sparrow pie is a frequent article of food
in England. Considering that reed
bird's on toast coat a quarter per mouth
ful the sparrow might In the shape of
pie make eomo amends for haviugjjrs-

Navr YORK , August 8. [ Special to
THE BKU. ] A Now York lady wtis re
cently Introduced to one , who formerly
made Omaha her homo , and upon being -
ing informed of the fact , acknowledged
the Introduction by making this re
mark : "Ah , from Omahn , did you
say ? Do you know that tlmt place is
always associated In my mind with
cowboys and Indiana ttnd people of that
sort ? Are there really so iimny
there ? "
While this idea of Omaha is still 011-
tortulncd by a few in the east , It la a
pleasing fact to notice that , ns a con-
oral rule , Now Yorkers are bcginim * to
realize that the western cities , such as
Omaha , Denver and Kansas City , are
no longer the homes of desperadoes
and border ruffians , bnt that they are
the seats of a civilization no advanced
as that to bo found in their own cities.
In fact a careful comparison makes it
clear that Omaha Is ahead of Now York
in many/particulars. /
The narrow and crooked streets in
the lower part of the citv are in strik
ing contrast to Omaha's broad high
ways. Of course this is owing to the
fret that Omaha was laid out to bo a
city , while Now York , like Topsy ,
"just growcd. " But the faut remains
as iv serious drawback" to Now York's
convenience. The total absence of al
loys in the business portion of the city
makes it necessary to handle all the
heavy tratllc of the largo wholesale and
commission houses at their frontdoors
instead ol at the alloy entrances
as is done in Omaha. This renders
a trip through any of the streets lead
ing to the river a very dangorouq un
dertaking durlncr the busy hours of the
day. In order to walk up Cortland ,
Burclny OP Chambers atroot , which load
to aim from the principal railroad fer
ries , one must climb over or go around
a dozen or moro "skids , " platforms and

ANOTHER SIDE TO TIII3 STORY-
A man with a. political pull in this
city , If it is of sufficiently strong
character , can commit almost any of
the minor offent > oa and escape urrcatT
and even free hfmself from the grasp
of justice when his crime is of a. greater
nature. The daily history of crime in-
New York- shows this to bo so beyond

city , but there Is a dalforonco between
Now York and Omaha , that hero public

existence of this evil , and whiin con

a case is brought to- - light the public
and the press expiess themselves in no
uncertain terms against it.

apparatus. We have lately purchased three of tha largest and meal complete
batteries manufactured , so constructed as to give the most gentle as welL as tha
most powerful current. Persons , treated : nt this Institute by electricity recognize
at once the difference between our expensive and complete electrical apparatus
and the common , cheap batteries , in use by many physicians. Over 3,000 dollars
