Ave. & 8th St. H THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, | JERUSALEM THE GOLDEN. | Dr. Adler Tells of a Visit to tha Famous City. | Many Points Touched Upon, Although the Dirt Left Out—Landing at | Jaffa—Uncivil Hebron. Dr. Cyrus Adler of the National Museum gave an interesting talk on Jerusalem last night at the Eighth Street Synagogue, be- fore the Young Men's Hebrew Association and its friends. The house was well filled. Dr. Adler toid the story, in brief, of a trip that he recently made to the Holy Land, in an interesting manner. He described the scenes of the trip by canal to Port Said, where, he said, there are about fifty Jewish milies that have got far enough to need @ poor house. Then he told of the danger- ous harbor of Jaffa, where all passengers are compelled to land by means of small boats that pass between rocks so close to- gether that there is not room for the oars. Through the motiey crowd of men of all nations and animals of all sizes, he took his friends to the combination hotel, stable, and American consulate, where he hired for $2v in American mintage a rig to take his party to “Jerusalem the Golden.” It is a vide of forty miles along a tortuous road, and occupies about nine hours. There is a railroad, but it is not interesting, and jars on the senses as being too modern. A German inn on the roadside furnishes good beer to those who have not carried their own wine. Pilgrims are to be seen here and there, for it is just before the great feast of the Passover, and here the tourists encounter a Yemenite, from southern Arabia, who has tramped ail the way from home along a road that it takes a caravan thirty days to traverse. He carries a prayerbook print- ed in Italy, and is intent upon reaching the Holy City. Close to Jerusalem are signs of modern progress, notably the extension of the city into the suburbs, where splendid houses are being built by the wealthier classes. There is a decided boom in real estate along the Jaffa road just at present, and prices are on the rise. Living at the wayside hotel is cheap, and the accom- modation is good.

His daugh- ters are the waitresses, and speak several languages. Inside Jerusalem. Down to the city and through the wall! go the tourists, through that wonderful wall that now stands a monument to the great- ness of the past. Into the thronging city, where there are no sidewaiks, and men and animals jostle each other and where car- riages cannot go on account of the steps in the streets leading down into the center of town from the wails. Here go a half dozen Syrian wom strong, steady look- ing and handsome, with their peculiar head-dresses ornamented with imitation coins, and there is a party of some native Jewish women, without veils, daughters of a fair race, and in themselves beautiful as the morning. Pushing through the crowds, the tourists come at last to that part of the wall that is known to be the only por- tion of the original structure in existence, where there are several hundred Jews say- ing their prayers. On every side is shown the most intense religious feeling. Many are weeping bitter tears over the lost power of Zion. One young man is bewailing the fall of the “chosen people” in loud tones between his prayers. “AIL Ti Allah.” Then comes a quick trip through the syna- Bogu In one of them is noticed a pretty custom, of giving to each worshiper on teaving a small bunch of flowers, to pray over at home. Then into one of the many private synagogues fitted up by the wealthy residents of Jerusalem, where services— short services of about two hours—are held in the early morning, as an appetizer. Up they climb to the top of the. tower of David, which stands in the wall, where The tourist looks over the plain at the mountain of Moab through his field glasses, and ex- cites the wonder of one of the guards, wha asks to see. As he gazes his face assumes an expression of fear, and he takes his eyes away with: “The mountains are com- ing this way. They will fall upon me!” The kindiy tourist explains the workings of the glasses, and with a reverent glance toward the glorious blue of the zenith, the ‘Turk exciaims: “Allah is great.” Uncivil Hebron. Down, down, go the visitors, into the famous quarries, on and on through their thousand feet of length, into the far-away inner chambers where, it is thought, the stones for Solomon's temple were trimmed and polished before they were taken out into the light of day. Then quickly they journey over to the tomb of Rachael, and on to the uncivil town of Hebron, where the children fling stones and call names at all strangers, for it is a bellef that all but Hebronites are possessed of the “evil eye.” After taking his auditors on a round of sight-seeing, Dr. Adler explained some of the modern customs of Jerusalem, especial- ly with regard to the distribution of the money sent there annually by the Hekrews vf all lands for charitable purposes. Hé told how the inhabitants of the city have agreed to unite upon the native Hebrew tongue as their common language, and how it is be- ing taught to the young, and is growing into a modern language once More. In con- clusion, he urged his hearers, one and all, to make the journey to Jerusalem, which is but seventeen days from New York, and not at all expensive a HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Foot B: Games ‘anged and Other Gonxsip of Interest. The executive committee of the class of '93 will hold a meeting this evening at the residence of Miss Mabel Swingie on Capitol Hil. Mr. Davis evidently thinks, as Dr. Lane does, that the young ladies should be given @ chance in the editorial line, and accord- ingly has appointed Miss Cruikshank as editor-in-chief of the Balance Sheet, to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Mr. Poston. Miss Cruikshank’s promotion will cause the appointment of another assistant editor, Mr. E. O. Belt will give the puptis of the Night High School an interesting talk this evening on the eye. Managers Prince and Claxton and Capt. Mills and Lewis of the Central and Business foot ball teams, respectively, held a consul- tation Friday and decided that no ,:ayers that do not attend those schools shall be al- lowed to participate in Wednesday's game. This wiil prevent Donald McDonald, who at- tends the Night High School, from playing with the Business team. Carr, who plays left end with Business, also attends the Night High School, but as he has been play- ing all of the year, it is thought the Central will raise no objections on his account. It has been decided that the Easterns and Centrals shall meet on Saturday, December 2, at Y. M. C. A. Park, the game to be called at 3:30 o'clock. , The Easterns have made a number of changes on their team, which, it is thought, will result for the bet- ter. Singleton of the first year is the latest addition to tye team. Fugitt has recovered from the injuries he received in a practice game several weeks ago and on Saturday made his appearance in the regular practice game. It is thought that McKinley, who re- signed from the team last week, will play in the game next Saturday. Maj. Ross has ordered that all fancy drill squads be done away with, this being done for the general good of the companies from which these squads have been organized. The squad at the Business immediately dis- banded when the order was published at that school, but those at the Eastern and Western have as yet failed to comply with the order. These squad drills always form an interesting part of the various school en- tertainments, and from present appearances it seems that they will have to wait until later in the year if they desire to appear before the public. At a special meeting of the Pedestrian Club Friday Mr. Claxton was elected a member. Mr. Clabaugh has resigned from the Dramatic Club at the Bustness. This will necessitate the selection of another young gentleman to take his part in “American Hearts.” IFICATION, A Suspicions Character Arrested, Photographed and Sent Away. In a small room in the large brick build- ing corner of th and E streets northwest until Friday night there lived a man known as “Gypsy Joe,” a slave to the opium habit, and naturally most of his guests and com- panions are persons who are also known as “hitters of the pipe.” Policeman Horne, who has been doing some good work since the appearance of “Jack the Slasher,"’ was acquainted with the opium iiend, and when he was detailed to work with the de tives a few days ago he paid-some atten- tion to this place. Detective Boyd worked with him, and Friday night they visited the room, where they found a stranger lying on the bed. “Where are you from?” one of the officers asked him as he entered the room. “Where am I from?” repeated the man slowly, giving himself time to recover trom his surprise. “‘Pittsburg,"" he added. The officer questioned him about the smoky city, but he was unable to tell enough about the place to convince him that he was from that particular city. He was a stranger here, but the officers thought he had no good reason for being in this city, and so they arrested him. His name was given as Peter Raymond, and not knowing anything of the man’s iden- tity they concluded to hold him to await developments, The officers soon found his photograph in a copy of the Police Gazette, where his name was given as George Mit- chell, alias miler’ McGrath. He was arrested in Boston in 1887, and his record is given as that of a “ilin-flam” man and second-story worker. Afterward the olfi- cers received information that he had ser ed five years in Massachusetts. This morning graphed and sent out of the city. satis Mission Branch, A mission branch of the Universalist Church of Our Father, to be known as the Chureh of the Redeemer, was opened yes- terday in Haine’s Hall, corner of Pennsy}- vania avenue and Sth street southeast. Dr. Rogers delivered an eloquent discourse on “What is true religion?” in the course of which he stated that the new church, while it was the outgrowth of the Universalist Church, was not necessarily to be a strictly settarian orsanization. Services will be heid every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and as soon as possible a Sunday school will be organized. sia AR a The Danbury (Conn.) hat factories closed Saturday, and when they start up again the proprietors say it will be as non-union establishments. ‘fhe hatters, of whom there are 4,00, have declared a lockout. the prisoner was photo- | D.

The volume of Mr. Blount’s report on Hawaii made public on Saturday contains, as was stated in The Star of that date, correspondence relative to the landing of the marines of the Boston and testimony gaken by Mr. Blount on that particular Point, the substance of which has already been published in The Star in its synopsis of Mr. Blount’s report. It comprises nearly 400 pages, most of which are taken up with Statistics of the products, population and area of the islands. The following extracts constitute the strongest points in support of Secretary Gresham's contention that the overthrow of the monarchy was the result of a con- spiracy on the part of ex-Minister Stevens, Capt. Wiltse of the Boston and American residents of Honolulu. Asking Assistance. On January 16 last the committee on safe- ty wrote to Minister Stevens as follows: “Sir—We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Honolulu, respectfully repre- sent that, in view of recent public events in this kingdom, culminating in the revolu- tionary acts of Queen Liliuokalani on Sat- urday last, the public safety is menaced and iives and property are in peril, and we appeal to you and the United States forces at your command for assistance. “The queen, with the aid of armed force and accompanied by threats of violence and blood shed from those with whom she was acting, attempted to proclaim a new con- stitution, and, while prevented for the time trom accomplishing her object, declared = that she would only defer her ac- jon. “This conduct and action were upon an occasion and under circumstances which have created general alarm and terror. “We are unable to protect ourselves with- out aid, and therefore pray for the protec- tion of the United States forces.” Letters are quoted from Mr. Stevens to the lessee of the opera house requesting him to allow Captain Wiltse and his m the use of the building for a fair compe sation and of similar purport to the les: of Arion Hall, both letters being dated Ja: uary 16, and the last one requesting an answer by “bearer.” Formal Protest. Then comes the protest from the minister of forelgn affairs of the queen’s govern- ment, directed to Minister Stevens, as fol- lows: ‘ir—I have the honor to inform your excellency that the troops from the United States steamer Boston were landed in this port at 5 o'clock this evening, without the request or knowledge of her majesty's gov- ernment. “As the situation is one which does not call for interference on the part of the United States government my colleagues and myself would most respectfully request of your exceilency the authority upon which this action was taken. I would also add that any protection that may have been considered necessary for the American legation or for American property and in- terests in this city would have been cheer- full urnished by her majesty’s govern- men To this was added a protest from the governor of the island on which Honolulu is situated, as follows: . ‘Sir—It is my duty ta solemnly protest to your excellency aginst the landing this evening without permission from the prop- er authorities of an armed force from the United States ship Boston. our excellency well knows that when you have desired to land naval forces of the United States for the purpose of drill permission by the local authorities has been readily accorded. “On the present occasion, however, the circumstances are entirely’ different, and cstensibly the present landing is for th discharge of functions which are distinctly — duties of the Hawatian govern- men “Such being the case, I am compelled to impress upon your excellency the inter- national questions invoived in this matter d the grave responsibilities thereby as- sumed.” Minister Stevens on the next day, January 17, replied to the queen's fofeign minister as follows: “Sir—Yours of vesterday landing of the United Sta in Honolulu dul. considered. “In whatever the United States diplo- matic and naval representatives have done, or may do at this critical hour of Ha- walian affairs, we will be guided by the kindest views and feelings for all the parties concerned and by the warmest sentiments for the Hawaiian people and the persons of all nationalities.” He also answered Gov. Cleghorn on the same day as follows: “Sir-Yours of the 16th (yesterday) re- garding the landing of the United States naval forces in Honolulu ts received. I have carefully considered its import “My responsibility as the United States minister plenipotentiary at this critical time in Honolulu affairs it is impossible for me to {gnore. I assure you that what- ever responsibility the American diplomatic and naval representatives have assumed or may assume we shall do our utmost to re- gard the welfare of all persons and inter- ests concerned. Mr. Damon's Request. Then follows a letter from Queen Lilluo- kalani to Mr. S. M. Damon. in which she says: “Sir: You having stated that, as a condi- tion upon which you would only authorize the lending by your firm of Bishop & Co. to me of the further sum of $10,000 upon certain securities that I nsed not specify, I should hand to you the original new con- stitution that it was my intention to pro- mulgate on the day of the prorogation of the late legislature, January 14, 1803, I as- sure you that ] am unable to comply with such condition, for the sole reason that such new constitution and all copies thereof and the draft thereof have been destroyed, the original constitution by my own hands and the copies thereof and the draft by my orders.” J. W. Robertson, Queen Liltuokalani’s chamberlain, wrote to Mr. Blount that he was standing on the front veranda of the palace building when the United States troops marched past on January 16 and that “the scene greatly impressed me, and the immediate impression conveyed to my mind was that they had been landed to take pos- session of these islanc Observing their position the next morning, he says: “I felt assured that the troops oF in regard to the tes naval forces y received and {ts import A LONG STRING of diseases follows a “ run-down” system when the liver is inactive and the blood in disorder.

Wiltse said to me, ‘I will not allow any fighting in the city." While Mr. Blount was on the islands, he says, five remonstrances were filed with | him protesting against the annexation of the islands to the United States. These were signed by 249 persons. Lecturing a Born Mo An interesting contribution to the litera- ture published by the State Department has been made by C, B. Wilson, the ex-queen’s marshal, the man described as the Tahitian blacksmith who is said to have become the queen's favorite. He makes the following comment on ex-Minister Stevens: “Picture to yourself the time and scene. An elderly editor of an obscure country journal accidentally pitchforked into the position of the national representative of one of the greatest nations on earth—and a republic at that—lecturing a monarch born and educated to the purple, a woman in the hour of deepest bereavement, in the style and with the ideas that he would have sed to a Sunday school class of little chil- dren or possibly to a benighted heathen from the depths of barbarism. “From this time forward he showed by every means in his power at every oppor- tunity the determination to make himself obnoxious to the queen and her government by his high-handed and dictatorial actions and speeches, both to herself personally and every one in her government that he had to deal with officially.” ee —__—_. DENTS DEBATING. reh. Work of the Various Societies im the Schools and Colleges. The brief interval which is afforded by the Thanksgiving hoiiday will be gladly welcomed by the students at the law schools. The work is of such a character as to require the closest and most constant atteation and any recreation is thoroughly appreciated. A. S. Worthington of Columbian will de- liver the first of his lectures on “Law Books and How to Use Them” Tuesday evening, November 28. Prof. Wm. Mattingly’s course of lec- tures on practical commercial law will commence Wednesday evening, December 6, at 8 o'clock. From the outlook at the present time, the senior class at Columbian will have to get its voting contingent from some source outside of its membership for the reason that nearly every member of the class has had his name brought forward in connec- tion with the coming election of a class president. It is fortunate (hat in the de- feat which must necessarily result to all but one of the candidates there are several other offices in the gift of the class which may serve as consolation prizes.

It was decided that a series of joint de- bates with the students of Columbian Law School would be desirable and the president was avthorized to appoint a committee of three to confer with a like committee from Columbian to arrange for the subjects, time and place of three debates, the judges to be selected by the two colleges. Case No. 7 was argued before the moot court at Georgetown Law School Thurs- day evening. Mes: R. A. Heiskell and B. McCardle appeared for the plaintiff and Messrs. P. H. C. Brennan and F. M.
