I PUTNAM NATIONAL BANK OF PALATKA An official dispatch received from France savs that the Turks before surrendering Jerusalem to the Brit ish brutally mistreated Christian priests, carried off the famous treas ure of the Church of the Holy Sepul chre valued at millions of dollars and sent to Berlin the church's celebrated ostensory of brilliants. Monsignor Camassei, the patriarch of Jerusalem, is said to hav'e been deposed from his office, and Father Piccardo, an Italian priest, to have died from the effects of Turkish bru- I talities. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre had remained unmolested heretofore during all ' the centuries of Moslem occupation of Jerusalem. The Church of the Hoi Sepulchre 1 was consecrated in the year 330 on i the traditional spot where Christ arose from the dead " In the year P14 the buildings comprising the cTiurch were destroyed by the Per sians. The original building was in the form of a rotunda, the shape of which survives in the existing com plex structure, which assumed vari ous forms in the course of rebuilding during the middle ages. The edifice was badilv damaged by the fire of ' 1808. The Greeks contrived to se I cure to themselves the principal i rights to xthe buildings and with the Armenians contributed most of the money for the erection of the new church.- The dilapidated dome, be neath which the sepulchre is situated was restored by architects of various nationalities in 18G8 as the result of an aereement made by Turkey, France and Russia. .STAR SPANGLED BANNER .
