the visitors several points the ad

led, playing also In qaurters of eight
minutes- When this half was ov

visitors’ favor.
The Elizabeth girls came back
strong in the last quarters, and cut
'the lead the visitors had on them
to three points, the score at end of
game was 19 to 22 in the visitors’
favor; to the writer’s Judgement
Ihe local teams played for superior
grade of basket hall then did the
visitors, but their failing to find the
goals proved fatal to them-
The hoys In the last half of their

SUSPENDED PAYMENT IN CAC i
How British Government Saved t‘ e
Situation When Country's Financia-
Solvency Was Threatened.
In the great war Which England corn
Bienred with France in 17911, the fii r
four years saw £400,000,000 added to the
National debt, without any material
•dvuritage being gained. So much com
had left the country for the paymeu'
of troops abroad and as subsidies o
allies that tbe bank, during 1790, !.•*
gan to feel a difficulty in satisfying
demands made on it. At tbe close uf
tbe year people began to board co n
and to make runs upon the county
banks. These applied to the Ilank of
England for help, and the consequent e
was that a run upon It commenced
the latter purt of February, 1797. Thin
great establishment could only ke* p
Itself afloat by paying in sixpence*-
Immediate insolvency was expected
when on February 20, the government
stepped In with au order In council
authorizing the notes of the bank ii«
legal tender until such time as proper
remedies could be applied. This sus
pension qf cash payments was attend
ed by the usual effect of raising tl.s

American Bluejackets have Opportunity to Purchase
Christmas Gifts in Jerusalem.
The wonderful pictures and the
beautifully colored illustrations of
the pamphlets describing the won
ders of Jerusalem lead the tourist
to believe that he or she is about
to enter a veritabble paradise with
w'ide streets and majestic edifices
adorning the landscape This beli.f
is soon shattered for on the streets of
the Holy City will bo found numer
ous beggars, crippled and maimed,
all soliciting alms. They have
come to the birthplace of our Lord
with the undying faith that some
day they will be cured by a miracle
at one of the many sacred shrines. *
In the majority of cases blue
jackets ashore from American war
ships at anchor off Jaffa travel to
Jerusalem over the native railroad,
but there are a number of men who
prefer the jog of the horse to the
continual rattle of the coaches and
take tliet carriage road from Jaffa
to Jerusalem, a distance of 41 miles. |
Every step of the way one will And
religious slirlnes and statues that
draw pious pilgrims from all parts
of the world Along the road one
passes many quiantly costumed
farmers, tnklng their products to
the markot for the benefit of the
tourists
The tunny beautiful churches in
the city attract the visitor; on the
Mount of Olives is the Russian
Chucrli, tower and hc-spiee. and
nearby the Chape! of the Ascension;
the French Paternoster church; the
Carmelite nunnery and the Russian
church of Saint Mary Magdalene,
near Gethsemane. From early times
doubts have arisen as to whether
the tomb discovered by Bishop Ma
carius was the veritable sepulchre-
As early as 754, when the pilgrim
Widobald visited Jerusalem, he
remarked In describing the Holy
places, that “Calvary was formerly
outside the city,but that the Empress
arranged that place so that it
should bo within the city of Jerusa
lem”
1 The photograph above shows two
sailors of the United States Navoy
standing before thereputed sepulchre
of our Saviour. When they have
secured photographs and notes re
garding this sacred place, they will
get astride of the slow moving don
and travel to acme other place
of Interest.
•The only industry In rerusalem Is
the manufacture of olive-wood and
mother-of-pearls goods. Many of
those articles have found their way
to 1 lie homes of the American sailors
and have proven very acceptable as
Christmas gifts. Modern Jerusalem
has changed little since the days of
our Saviour. The mills over which
the Lord walked and the places
where lie worked miracles are pre
served as sacred ground for pious
pilgrims who yearly travei from a’l
corners of tlie world to view* the
birthplace of our Saviour.
