TROLLEYS INVADE HOLY LAND.
JERUSALEM AND' DAMASCUS IN IT.
till now
Vititors to the Holy Land will soon be able to vi it the scene of pilgrimages and sacred history by the same metands employed here to travel from one point to another, namely, the electric
car. According to William E. Curim and other ancient citias will soon echo with the clanging of gonge and be illuminated with electric lights. The follow-
dispatch is taken from a late fng
te exchange:— William E. Curtis, Washington correspondent of the Fecord-Herald writes that the Sultan of Turkey
bas bern stubbornly up opposed
to the introduction of electricity in the Olloman Empire, although he has used the telegraph for many years, and wires from every minion an into the Yildiz. Kiosk part of and, even into his private office. There are, however, no telephones, no electric lights, no trolley care anywhere in either European or Asiatic Turkey, except two or thee private plants for lighting and telephone purposes. At last, however, he has yielded and the whole world will regret to learn that p concession has been granted for electric lights in Jerusalem and for lines of trolley cars through that city, and from it to Bethlehem, Bethany, and probably to Jericho, although tha has not yet been announced, and is only conjecture. The suspicion is supported by the
of his
faci th it a new carriage road is being constract- Afiam Jericho ed from Jerusalem, to Jerich and to the alleged tomb of Moses at Nebo Mousa, From there it will be constructed to Salt and Amman, in order to connect with the Hedjaz Radway, which is now being "built between Damas and Mecen. The concession has been given to a Gernian company, which has not yet taken the public into is confidence concerning the route.
NOTHING CAN BE LOVE.
Nothing can be done by, the public to prevent this invasion of the most sacred place on earth. The so-called "improvement' is entirely in line with the spirit of commercidism that seems to control the entire world, and the Suban, would laugh at any one who offered protest. The railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem was bad enough from a sen- timenta' point of view, but at the same time it is a great public convenience, and pilgrims can now ke the journey in a few hour with great infort and at a comparitively small Expense, instead of toiling up the dusty road to Zim un leu ord iving over i in cauitges, The int duetign o' trolley cars in the mariow streets of Jerasat m is, however, not ony na- necessary, but it wiFb: a lamentable violation of holy grau 1. Nishody hat the German peror could prevent it, for the concesion must have been obtained upan personal appl.
Es cation. It would not otherwise have been granted. Since his visit to Palestine a few that country under years ago he has tak his protection, so to speak, has shown great interest in everything that pertains to the sacred places and has not only advised the Sultan concerning the mark.ement of affairs
Em
there,
but bas dictated to him with great free dom. The tolley time to Behany must reas the Mount of Oliver and follow the trail which Jesus an often trod, and the line to ethlehem will despoil of its sancity another sacred way. LIGHT IN JUR: SALEM AND DAMASCUS, The introduction of electric lights into Jara- salem will add much to the convenience and safety of strangers, because the dark and ar row breets are often dangerous procularly si the time of Mohammed ( holy days and fans, when fanatics are always drawn in large num bert to the holy fity, and they would not hesi tate to stab in Christian in the luck it they could do so witham de tertion. But tourists seldom ga out at night, insi, street lights are not really needed in Jerusalim; and they will deprive the cry of much of its picturesque gloom
Damascus, the llest city in the world, is also to
to he lighted by electricity and provided with a system of trolley cars, which will no doubt add to the convenience of the residents. but will look very much out of lace, and, what is more interesting stall, the electricity is to be furnished by the waters of the River Abana, in which you will remember Nauman, the leper, wanted to bathe instead of in Jordan. The Abann is now-known on many maps as the Barada, and it is a wonderful siver, bound ing over a, rocky beil, forming and wearing as it rushes on to Damascus, where the stream is divided into a hundred little canals to supply the population of the city with water.
A friend writes me that when the workmen

As he did so its contents his pickaxe. which were coins of guld, were scattered over the ground. The workmen scrambled for them and hid them away as soon as possible. A few bours later, when the officers ar Damascuis learned about the discovery, they sent de police to recover the coins under a law which says that everything found in the earth below a of three fet belongs to the Sultan,

so that the comfart of tourists will be very well served. The German Emperor is supposed to have a financial interest in this scheme.
Indeed, the Germans are securing such a hold upon the Holy and that a friend writes me "before long everything over here will be stamped with those sign ficant words, in Germany."
