The Italy Sepuichre.-111 point of loca-

that the tomb of Jesue must be identified
with the pled) of his crucifixion : "Now
'In the place where he wos crucified
there was a Orden; and In the garden
a new tomb win:rein was never mart yet
laid, There then beceuse of the Jews'
Preparation (for the Lomb was nigh at

out in the Word Studies foe last Sun'

there is n 0000 011110d Jeremiah's Grotto

piece of burial. This may have been
the tomb in which the 'body of Jesus
rested. The traditionel site, however,
which for fifteen oentueles was not ques-
tioned, is within the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre near the very bout of the

within the outer wall of the ancient city

There are many repellent sights in

HORRIBLE SUFFERINGS.
Thirty-two Theirsand Ponlical Exiles
Sent to Siberia.
Siberian journals are full 01 1110 horri-
ble suffering which the political exiles
undergo 111 Tobolsk, Mona., and other
sections of that, desolate land. During
the last eleven months, as many as 35,-
000 peesons 'have been sent thither.
About 2,000 have escaped, but lhe rest
remain to endure a living death. They
are sent to the marshes where nothing
grows buL 12 renk gross, and where no
trade or craft can enable them to earn
enough to prolong their miserable exls-
lence.
The Russian Government allows lligen
exactly 2ee cents per day. The money
sent by their friends rarely reaches
them, being Intercepted by the Czar's
oniciels. In suntmer they keep body
end soul together with fish caught in
the rivers and coarserye bread. In
winter fish is worth its weight ie gold
and breed unheard,of. Then they eet
the grass Vein the frozen marshes.
Little wonder that scurvy, cholera and
typhus rage among them. This is net
the worst, for they are obliged to live in
11)0 1120(1 huts of the native Ostiaks, in-
fected' with that Siberian scourge,
'leprosy.. It is not surprising tlutt these
exiles, most of them delicately reared
men and women, envy their more for-
tunate comrades who have perished on
the stoelcades of litissian fortresses for
their political opinions and have thus
escaped this certain, but slow, death
known es perpetual exile. They have
no hope for anything better and cannot
even lInd a solace for their sufferings In
work -'—for there is .none to be clone in
this frozen wilderness,
In spite 01 120 beavy death -rate, their
numbers are steadily increasing, for
every week brings out fresh victims. In
fact, the numbers of petition] exiles 11500
increesed to Stroh an extent that the
Russian Government has decided le run
special exile trains daily from St. Peters-
burg to Siberia, These trains carry only
political prisoners, who ere herded to-
gether like cattle in'unwermed wagons.
They run ot the speed 0( 1110 so-called
postal or courieitraIns.
And yet, in spite of these terrible suf-
ferings, men and Women in Russia are
bent 0011 fighting for freedom. Within
the last filW weeks $5,000 lbs. of dyna-
mite, 4110,000 bullets and 4,000 rifles have
been found by the 1)01100, secreted in
private houses in Moscow, St. Peers -
burg and other Mtge towns. Never be-
fore have Russian prisone, mid Siberian
marsheS been sn crowded with political
prieoners as at the present eine:

PLEDGED TO HONESTY,

IL is a very common practice to put
awny food Mal collies from the store
in the brown papee In which the denkr
wraps it. While this luny be convenient
it certainly is open to serious objection
on the score of health and cleanliness.
Most, of the cheap papers Eire made from
8(01001018 tinnily up to the standard of
the housekeeper's ideas of neatness; and,
although a certain degree of heal is em-
ployed in their preperation, it is by no
means sufficient, to destroy all the dis-
ease genns with which the l'OW material
may be filled.
When tt is taken into consideration
that west° mere of all earls, and those
used for all purposes, are gathered up
and ,worked over into new paper to
wrap our food In, it beboves the house-
wife who eaves for the health of her
family to see to It that articles of food
remain in contact with such wrapping
the very shortest possible time.
IL is not unuettal Lo see meat, butter,
cheese, and other extremely susceptible
articles put away in the very cheapest
commonest brown paper.
Immediately upon the receipt of soft
groceries or fruits they should be put
into earthen dishes, and weer no cir-
cumstances should they be a..owed to
remain ice the papers In which they are
delivered.
SOMETHING UP HIS SLEEVE.
Sir John Fisher's Surprise for Foreign
Nat les.
A remarkable vessel for the Royal
Navy Is being tilted out alongside the
shipyard of Sir James Laing & Sons at
Sunderland. She is a sequel to an ex-
periment made some 11100 ago, when an
old cruiser was converted at Ports-
mouth into a floating workshop to at-
tend on a fleet at sea for the execution
of repairs, the experiment evideptly be-
ing very successful, as the vessel at
Laing's is especially' built for the same
purpose on much more extended lines.
IL would, in fact, not be inapt to de-
scribe her as a seagoing dockyard, so
extensively Is she being fitted with ship-
yard and engineering machinery. Con,
slderable secrecy has been preserved
with regard to her, all onlcials connect -
W12/1 her construction being sworn
.under Um 01110101 secrets act. She was
tsunehed without, ceremony some
months ago and christened the India
Brahma, which name might suggest
that elle was meant for an eastern trad-
er, but her internal fitting le now so Mr
advanced that her purpose is obvious
and she is 1100? officially referred to as
his Majesty's ship the Cyclops.
Externally what mest distinguishes
her 28 the number of smokestacks and
the positions of some of the»). The
Irttler are to carry the smoke from the
feunderias and workellePe below. She
Is a vessel of 11,000 tons dimensions,
length 400 feet, breadth 55 feet, depth
40 feet. Ae important part of the ship
the eleetelcity-generailng station, as
tte machines and cranes are to be work-
ed by electric motors, and of course
she will be fitted with wireless telegraPh
apparatus.
Tho veesel, which will carry a crew ef
abnut three hundred men, mostly arti-
ficers' is expected to be reatly for iea
aboutnext Easter.

that prevented corporate encroachtnents

re-election. ,
Ills old enemies of the Employers'

But unfortunately Mayor Schmitz,
when he became in1p6rtent, to the cor-
porations, was tempted by them. An
honest, clean man i01 every relation of

Railway Company wanted trolley fran-
chises on all their lines. This conces-

The market piece on the securities after

was charged openly that the corruption

get permission from the board of super-

was over 8700,000, and that Is one of the

but the charge of extorting a large sem

testimony.

The corporations that tor years have

only too glad to flatter end bribe a.man

The mills of Um French divorce courts
111/13' grind sloWly, but they certainly '
will grind Count Boni de Castellane ex -
erecting small, for when he emerges
from the trial he will be a triply ruined
man, ficiancially, socially, politically.
. With the Countess Anna's share of the ,
Jay Gould $175.000,000 thrown away Ulm
pebbles into a deep pit, Count Boni to-
day is poorer than his butler.
Eight million good American dollars
has this hIlle man spent in four years,
and. as Maitre Cruppi Ims said, the num-
vet is that he could have found a way to
dispose of this vast sum.
"flee monumental ,sperulthrift I" sold
the great French 'advocate, and that Is
the term that has passed on to tho
boulevard/ere.
11E11 DOWRY $3,000,000.
Reviewing the Count's career, Maitre .
Cruppi showed, with pitiless exactness,
that when Count, Boni came courUng
Mess Anna Gould he 0008 as poor as he
now is. ,so that he ticis returned to his ,
original estate. With Miss Anna Goold
mune a dowry of $3.000,000, an amount
that would keep half a dozen European
princelets In -comfort for the balance ot
their lives. That is all gone, every cent
of it, and in its wuke has followed
something like 64,700,000 more.

THROWN MILLIONS AWAY:
Those are expenses of record, but
there is no record of the hundreds of
thousands cif dollars spent in plain de-.
baueliery, in little suppers, in furnished
"nesie," in cartloads of flowers to 'the •
favorite of the moment, and in wagon
loads of frui1 to the fancy of 1103 11000,
of jewels flung in the lap of some 01 2110
17 co-respondents named in the Coun-
tess' petition for divorce,
lt, is a story of waste and extrava-
gance that is altogether unparaDeled.
Not a sou of all the millions that have
come into the open hands of Count 13oni
de Castellano has remained in them—
that is all Man can be Said to his cre-
did. He has not pocketed the Gould
millions; he has simply thrown them
away. V%itti empty hands and empty
pockets Boni faces a crowd oi angry
creditors that would bleed 11101 dry even
though more of the Gould millions were
given him. Maitre Cruppi has plainly
stated that it is not the intention of the
Countess to pay one cent of these debts.
Literally a)) that remains to Count Boni
1s the $5 a. day he gets as Pay for being
a French Deputy, the dole his family
gives him and the clothes on his back.

A few years ago Wallesea Island, off

about 3,000 acres ef particularly rich
land, had a population of over 200, with
one or two prosperous looking farms
and it sehool, says the London Tribune.
Greclually, however, the labnrers have
been tempted to abandon the necessar-
ily dull life of lhe island in favor of it
more eseiting, though probably unem-
