THE TEMPLE OF BAAL. A Whole Vlllace Now Inrlosrd Within the Ancient Walls. There rises a hug-c wall, seventy-five feet high, inclosing a square court, of which the side is four hundred and seventy feet long. Tart of the wall, hav ing fallen into ruins, has been rebuilt from the ancient materials, but the whole of the north side, with its beau tiful pilasters, remains perfect. As the visitors enter the court they stand still in astonishment at the ex traordinary sight which meets their pyes, for here, crowded within those four walls, is the uative village of Ta l mar. It was natural enough for the Arabs to build thrir mud huts within" these ready-made fortifications, admits Ulackwood's Magazine, but the impres sion produced by such a village in such a place is indescribably s'range. Tho temple, so to speak, is eaten out at the core, and little but the shell remains. But here and there a fluted Corinthian column or group of columns, with en tablature still perfect, rises in stately grace far over the wretched huts, the rich, creamy color of the limestone and the beautiful moldings of the capitals contrasting with tlie clear blue of the cloudless sky. Tho best view of the whole is to be obtained from tho roof of the naos, which, once beautiful nnd ndorned with sculpture, is now all bat tered and defaced and has been meta morphosed into a squalid little mosque. To describe the view from that roof were indeed a hopeless task. High into the clear blue air and the golden sun shine rise the sta'ely columns; crowded and jumbled and bcaped together be low, untouched by the gladdening sun beams, unrefrcshed by tho pure, fresh air, lies all the squalor and wretched ncss of an Arab mud hut village. Saving; tho Aurochf. As the American hufTalo has nearly disappeared from this, its native land, the European representative of tho same genus, the aurochs, is no longer found anywhere but in the forests of llialystoelc, in western Russia. For merly this most powerful of all tho in digenous animals of Europe was hunted down in Uialystoclc as everywhere else, But since tho Russian government as sumed the management of tho forests, the aurochs is no longer allowed to bo persecuted but is protected by fores ters appointed by tho government. Although tho animal seems to bo gradu ally dying out, there is hope that it can be kept flourishing yet for many gener ations to como. maenmery THE NEWS IN BRIEF. CONDENSED COMPILATION OF CURRENT EVENTS. Important Kiwi of All Kind Boiled Down and Arranged for Iluajr People. All RuptrrHuous Worda Removed and the Euence of the News Preiierved. A general reductioiwof wages has been made by the Union Iron works of San Francisco. Wiu ehouses for supplies .for the In dian service are to be maintained at New York and Chicago. The residence of W. II. D. Bagley at Ronton, Wash., was with its contents totally destroyed by fire a few nights ago. Loss, $4",000. Alva Johnson and George Smith, who were arrested on a charge of holding np a train at Roscoe, near Los Angeles, have been discharged. .The finder of the body of Dr. Cronin, who was murdered at Chicago, has be gun suit for the $ 7,000 reward off ered by Cronin 'a friends. Hay, grain and pastnrage in Sonoma valley have taken a good start, and .a heavy yield is assured. Fruit trees of every description are budding. All obstacles to the complete restora tion of rates between Chicago, the Mis souri river and California have been re moved, and all lines have agreed thereto. Fritz Kloetzer, a shoemaker nt Dodge ville, N. Y., killed his wife and four children and then committed suicide. He had been out of work for mouths and his family vias starving. Postmaster General Bissel has can celled the contract for carrying mails made with the Pacific Mail Steamship company. The company failed to com ply with the provisions of the contract. The murderers of Grocer Hildebrand of San Francisco, who was killed in October, lbti, have been located. Kid McCoy, who is somewliere in the East, and Harry Black, who is in jail in Sac ramento, are the guilty men. About 1X veter.uis have left the Sol diers' Home at Yountville, Cal., because of dissatisfaction with the present man agement. Since the recent scandal at the home radical changes have been made in the rules and regulations. George C. Mulligan, city treasurer of He.tldsburg, Cal-, died recently. Mulli gan was the central figure of a sensa tional robbery some time ago. The city treasury was roblied, and Mulligan was found on the outskirts of the city tied to a tree, bound and gagged. Thomas H. Daley, cashier of j the City National bank of Goshen. Ind., and well known throughout Northern Indiana, diet! in a dental office from the effects of cocaine administered to dull the pain in extracting teeth. Deceased was 50 years of age and had served two years as county clerk. C. P. Huntington. H. E. Huntington and C. F. Crocker have resigned from i the board of directors of the Central Pacific. The resignation of the officials, ' who are also officials of the Southern Pacific, lias created considerable simu lation in railroad circles. The motive of the changes is not known. Colonel Brx-kinri;lge took the stand in his own defense in the suit brought by Madeline Pollard for breach of promise- at Washington. He detailed the meeting of Miss Pollard and told of the manner in which she behaved, saying the was a mature woman when he met her. Breckinridge did not deny that he had cohabited with tiie plaintiff, but claimed that there was no love talk on his part. He said Miss Pollard's ntotivos were mercenary and that he paid her expenses for a long time. Nebraska Jtin men and farmers are no longer cv -enied over the condition of winter wheat. The genera com mittee appointed by grain firms over various sections of the state to examine the fields and ascertain positively the damage resulting from the recent storm have reported favorably. Contrary to general opinion few fields have been affected by the cold snap. The fields of wheat that were killed have been planted in corn. Many oat fields, however, were destroyed. In many regions farmers are resowing their oats. The acreage of all grains will be 20 per cent, heavier this year than last. The Nigger Ben mine in Arizona, which was discovered thirty years ago by a colored man was rediscovered re receutly forty miles north of the Bonan za mine, in the Hnrqun nalos. When first found $300 was taken out with a pick, shovel and hammer by Ben, after which he was killed during an Indian war and the location was lost. Several fortunes have been spent in lookiug for the property. George Nevins recently found tho claim within ten feet of where oid man Peoples expended many thou sands sinking a shaft. The mine was for years considered mythical. Secretary Gresham has submitted to the senate committee on foreign rela tions o draft of a bill intended to carrv out the decision of the Behring sea ar bitrators. It shows substantial changes from the McCreary bill introduced in tho honsc some time ago changes that have been made necessary by the devel opments of events since that time. The bill prohibits sealing within n zone of 60 miles nround Pribylov islands, and prohibits sealing this side of this zone aud including Behring sea north of the 83th degree of north latitude and east of the 1 IStli meridian between May and July 31. The nse of steam vessels in sealing is forhiddwu, mid masters of vessels nro required to render an official statement of seals taken, with penalties for false statements. Nets, firearms, airguus or torpedoes shall not be used, but shotguns aro allowed. United States Indians not employed by other persons, and who do not coutract with other persons to deliver skins are ex empted from the provisions of the act. Fines of not less than $200 or imprison ment for not less than six months, or both, and the confiscation of vessel, cargo, tackle, etc., ar prescribed as the penulties for violations of this act.

The O'Neil-Joy case was then taken up after a tilt between Reed of Maine and Sneaker Crisp. Republicans indulged in filibustering under the leadership of Reed. Thurailay, March 29. Iutense excitement prevailed in the house over a resolution directing the sergeant-arms to arrest all absentees, The Republicans filibustered. Speaker Crisp and ex-Speaker Reed indulged in bitter colloqny. Boutelle aud Cox came near a physical encounter. The tumult lasted nearly all day. The president's veto of the Bland bill was read.

Secretary Gresham annonnced at a re cent cabinet meeting the practical suc cess of the American contention in the Bering sea question, the British govern ment having finally given satisfactory assurances that the decision of the Pari tribunal wonld be legalized by a statu tory enactment. Secretary Herbert has recommended to congress the construction of a fine l.i.l . . lui ....11 . 1 . . . 1 battleship to be called the Kearsarge. Since the wreck of the historic old war ship there has sprung np a feeling that its history should be commemorated and a modern vessel bearingthe name would remind the American people of the famous old warship. The source of Madeline Pollard's fund for expenses of her suit against Congressman Breckinridge is said on excellent authority to be a curious one. A Washington lady who had been in trouble with her husband is said to have applied to Breckinridge for legal advice some time ago. During the course ot tneir legui relations Dreek-inndge is ; saiu io n.ie cuurarumi to cstatulsu t other relations with his client. The lady's sister discovered his designs and broke them up. It is now maintained that Miss Pollard's funds are supplied by the lady's sister, who is wealthy. It is understood that Senator Teller will introduce in the senate this week a resolution to obtain the consent of the Mexican government to allow the mints at San Francisco and Carson City, Nev., I to coin Moxicau silver dollars for export to China and other Asiatic countries, I which can annually absorb about f."0,- ! 000,000 or $(10,000,000 more of these coins. It is considered that if this cou sent can bo had it will furnish a market for all our surplus silver product with out interfering in Hnv wise with ti i Mexican mints, which coin silver dol lars for owners of silver at only nominal expense, amounting practically to free silver coinage. At Paso Roblcs a white woman waltzed with a negro and the woman's husband shot at tho colored man. Since the episode the race feeling has been growing bitter in Paso Robles, and the other day a red-ink-rskull-and-eross-lxmcs placard was posted in conspicu ous places, warning a number of negroes to leave town. rheumatism Quickly Cured, Th-eedaysisa very short time in whicb to cure a bad case of rheuma tism; but it oan ba done, if the proper treatment is adopted, as will be s?en by the following from James Lambert. of New Brunswick, Ills.: "I was badly afllictod with rheumatism in tho hips and lens, when I bought a hott'a of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It cured me in three days. I am all rieht to day: and would insist on evervone who is nflHcted with that ter.'ible disease to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm and get woil at once." 50 cent bottles for 8-tle by G. JJ.

The testimony of Mrs. Cora Palmer given at the Heath trial implicating Keel B. Terry, formerly district attor ney of Fresno and a bitter enemy of L. E. McWhirter, lias created a tremendous sensation. Her testimony was a thun derbolt to the defense, and all but those intimately connected with the prosecu tion were almost as much surprised as the defense. Many people recalled the general rumor circulated on the morn ing of the murder that the "gang" had a hand in it. A peculiar part of this phase of the case is that even the prose cution itself was unaware of the im portant evidence within its reach until a few days prior to Mrs. Palmer giving her evidence on the stand, she having informed Mrs. McWhirter that she had something of importance in connection with the Heath trial to impart to her. Mrs. Palmer's recollection of the in cidents of the tragic night was recalled by the accidental finding in a ragbag of the mask and handkerchief which she took home after saving them from the flames, and which she had thrown aside, thinking tbem of small importance, as she supposed the men she met near Mo Whirter's were merely incendiaries whose purpose she had' foiled. Mrs. Palmer is in the last stage of consump tion, and was carried into the court room on a couch. The scene was a strikingly dramatic one, as the sick woman. DroiJDed nn en hpr r.illows uritb her nurse at her side, was sworn. Her presence was a surprise, and the whole court was on the qui vive as to what she had to say. She told how after bringing her husband in from Washing ton Colony and leaving him at the depot me started to go to Mrs. Nichols", a friend living in the northern part of Fresno, to spend the night. While going along N street she passed a buggy in which were two men. They nearly collided with her vehicle, and one man. whom she recognized as Heel Terry, swore at her. After she had driven a short distance in the direction in which the men came she noticed a little flame in the foxtail along the side walk. A blaze at that time of the vear would be dangerous, so she stopped the phaeton Aud proceeded to stamp out the flames. As she did so the horse started. She stopped then and noticed that it was a handkerchief burning. She rolled it in her hands to put out the flames. There was with it a cloth, and the wit ness exhibited a mask of black cloth. - t The handkerchief was cf white silk and had great holes burnt in it. Bat the part that attracted the most attention was the mark in the corner, -R. S. E " The rest of the word was burned out bv the flames. Another 1 norid tTe bUck cntac i mask was of the same material exactly ,; the strings jrf the blae mask. The witness described the horses, bu-zv and the men seated therein, and during her testimony it was noticed taut Eeath Heath grew pale and troubled, clutch ing the table in front of him.
