JERUSALEM OF PRESENT DAY
Dlarnlflcance of the flaerrd Itellcs to
Jcttb, Moslems and Ghrliilan
Scattered ThroiiRhont the
Kntlre World.
Continued from Page Nine.)
Jn the mind the glory of the days now
vanished like an evanescent dream. For
Trie the lofty hill once crowned by the
temple made the greatest appeal. Tou
know, of coiirse, that today It lsy a
Mohammedan sacred place, second In
sanctity only to Mecca, and Jews And
Christians are compelled to get special
permission to visit the sacred walled en
closure and are limited to two hours In a
day. We secured the necessary permis
sion and taking with us a 'carass' or
consular guard, we went up one beautiful
sunshiny morning; to Mount Morlah.
which from the day Abraham' Journeyed
hither to sacrifice his only son, to this
day and hour, has engaged the reverence
of the Jewish, Christian and Moslem
.World.
Temple Sneceeda Temple.
"Over the rock of sacrifice that crowns
the summit each faith haa reared a house
of worship In the aces past First Bolo
man, then a Christian church when Con
stantino won Palestine for Christian
ity, the Moslems when Saladln became
the ruler of the Holy Land. And It Is
this Moslem mosque that now shelters
the spot so sacred to the Jewish and the
Christian heart. And what a mosque It
fa. I have seen beautiful buildings in
my wanderings about the world, but this
ftlorious dome, that lifts Its rounded
story to the heavens is the peer of any
my eyes have looked upon. It is built
fn the form of a perfect octagon, a glit
tering mass of exquisite porcelain, and
vari-colored slabs of marble grained as
fine as quartered oak. The exterior Is
glorious, but when one steps within his
eye la ravished by the beauty that the
Qaracenla artist have lavished on this
marvei or loveliness, xne marme piuars
that support the soaring dome are clothed
with marble slabs, tho delicate vclntng of
Tfhlch form beautiful natural patterns
like the figures In a shot-silk binding
pf a hand-tooled book. The dome Itself
is pierced by a row of stained glass win
dows, the moat superb In the world, each
different in design and presenting the Im
pression of a finely wrought Ferslan
rug. And the sunlight falling through
wonderful colored windows, touched the
shadowy Interior with soft and velvety
spots of fairy light Around the circle of
the dome run inscriptions from the Koran
engraven in golden script such script
as only the patient skill of the eastern
artist can attempt All In all the varied
acme of all the arts crammed into this
gorgeous shrine places It among the
wonders of the 'world and when at dif
ferent hours of the day the sunlight
plays over the vast leaden dome in the
morning making it flash like an Inverted
liver bowl, and In the falling hour turn
ing it to molten gold, one thinks of It
s one of the wonderful structures of the
Arabian knights that the hands of genii
ive made.
Veritable Hook f Abraham.
."Stneeth the dome Is the rock, a
ftttlng piece of gray limeVone thrusting
Itself up from the mountains next the
unadorned and natural rock, on which
Abraham lay Isaao when he raised the
knife and was restrained by a hand from
hraven, the rock that formed the place
of sacrifice in Solomon's temple and all
the temples tthat succeeded It. the rock
over which Constantino raised his basilica,
tie Crusaders their cathedral, and the
Moslems their mosque, the rock that has
made more religious history than any
other work of nature's hand In all tho
world. The rock Js surrounded by a
high, beautifully wrought brass rail, but
I was admitted through a gate Into a
shrine the Moslems have hewn from its
side and so I came In actual touch with
the famous and. historic place of sacri
fice. The temple Area contains numerous
other Moslem shrines, mosques and
sacred buildings and the -whole area is
surrounded by huge walls, that It Is
death to any non-Moalom to attempt
to scale during the forbidden hoar.
Scarcely less -interesting" from the point
Of -view of the Influence It has exerted
on the world is the church of the Holy
Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the ohurch
acred to the Christian world as the re
puted place of the tomb of Jesus. Within
it" have been gathered all the relics that
recall the martydom of Jesus.
Connected with the Christ.
j., "In one chapel over which hang rows
ef golden native lamps Is a slab of
porphyry about eight feet lone and thnu.
and one-half feet wide, raised a llttl.i
irom the floor, reputed to be the very
lab on which the body of Jesus was
washed before burial and round this
Sao rows of pilgrims kneel all dav lonir.
kissing the cold stone with their devoted
ilps. In another chapol is the broken
pillar at which Jesus was scours-ad. in
till another the hole in the rock In which
Uia cross -is said to have been raised.
and' so on to the very tomb Itself covered
by a graceful marble chapel, tinder a
lofty dome and standing In the center of
Xhe great central rotunda that is the very
nearc or me great complex that a-oes by
the name of the church of the Holy
Sepulchre. Tor the church of the Holy
Sepulchre Is not one church, but a dosen
enureses rolled Into one.
""Nbt one of the relics pointed out to the
millions of reverent and superstitious
f-llgrims who- Jpurney here as the au
thentic relics has a single shrtd or evi
dence to substantiate It But I saw tha
pilgrims, kneeling, kissing and bowing
nown w au tnese priest-made relics with
passion of superstitious devotion that
was pathetic and when I went to the
tomb chamber and saw a Oreek priest
pelttna? holy articles to pilgrims with .his
wares spread out on, the slab of the tomb
I wondered how Jesus could rest easv in
hJs tomb this man the gospels praise as
j Jealous for the holiness of the temple
that In Indignant wrath he drove the
money changers from IU courts. And
low his followers 'barter and traffic on
his tomb, The whole atmosphere of this
reaicsi Lnnsuan sanctuary U so bar

feo idolatrous that the Jew comes out

weather was superb and the only water
we had to fear was the water of the
th.t tr. tnrArA. for this Is a

not find a shallow ford we swam our
horses across the rivers that barred our
way. Bo we forded tho deep Belus before

Desert of Daniaacua.
"Yeoterday we finished the norsebaok
Journey, when we rode from the base of
the snow-c.overed Harmon, where we
made our last camp. We crossed the
plain of Damascus, the great treeless
steppes that stretched between tho Iler
mon and the eastern desert. For days
we nad seen only a few sparse starve
ling trees, a'hd we found the shadeless
miles of Damascus plain a trial. The
fiLlds were for the most juvrt plowed for
tht summer's crop of barley and thea
any. but as yet no grn sprouts were
lo be seen above the brown earth. To
im cim ex; us uu snow-covena jiarmoa
stretched Its white length. To the north
a series of brown hills, unrelieved by any
herbage, continued the brown color
scheme of the Heidi. To the south a
range of black volcanic mountains edged
the great plain we were crossing. Then
we stnlck the winding course of the
Berada, lined with a long, slender line
of trees, a ribbon of green In the brown
waste. A little further we topped a rise
in tha ground and there lay stretched out
before us a sea of green, where the
Barada, breaking into seven branches,
creates tha far-famed gardens of Damas
cus. Bntranrft tn IJnmancun.
"Wide across the plain stretched that
wonderful belt of green, forests and for
ests of tree, unbosoming In Its distant
center the city that Is called the Jewel
of the east. Only now and then In the
dense green mass could It be seen glit
tering. The closer we drew the more re
freshing was that green sea, to our eyes.
We passed through the Damascus gate
and rode along the road past lovely gap
dens, luxuriant with almond, apricot, wal
nut, pomegranate, orange, lemon and
olive trees, the air sweet with the odor
of orange blossoms and the scent of hun
dreds of flowers In the green carpet of
grain and garden stuff enclosed by the
mud walls. And through the gardens
rushed the waters of the Berada In
streams and rills and channels, making?
this oasis the paradise from which Mo
hammed took his Idea of heaven.
"We shall be four days In this ancient
city of Damascus and then we shall
make our way In leisurely fashion to the
coast. I shall go back to Jerusalem and
my party Is bound for Constantinople."

Paving Contract
for West Dodge is
Given Offerman
The Board of County Commissioners
has let the contract for paving West
Dodge street one mile and a half west
of Dundee to the Offerman Construction
company at its bid of' HI 15 per square
yard for laying Egyptian brick. The
action was understood at the court house
to be a blow against what was termed
tho "paving' trust In Omaha."
This is said to be the first time
Egyptian brick has been used for paving
In this county. Two members of the
board went with J. B. George and Mayor
Slabaugh of Dundee to Inspect Egyptian
block paving in St Louis and reported
that It was satisfactory there.
The county will save about 1X000 on the
Job by using the new brick Instead of
tha better known kinds on which high
prices are maintained.
The same price will be quoted to prop
erty owners, who will pay for widening
the pavement on either side of the six
teen feet Improved by the county.

"Of course. It will come In time." said
Superintendent Graff," but It is probable
we'll have to abandon It for this year
We will ne able to establish It in a year,
most likely.-
