parted, the alcalde embraced lis, and nearly
all the people of Finiiterre were out to
shout after us heartfelt parting goodwill,
and "Dios le a companel "Dios le a corn
pane!" came fervently lrom every grateful
tongue. Circling the noble bay, we passed
through the hamlet or Corcnvio'.i, its people
also in a sad plight from the mysterious epi
demic, crossed the little torrent of Jallas;
and then with a peasant as guide climbed to
a considerable altitude, from which the At
lantic could be plainly seen. Thence de
scending by a mountain path into the valley
of the Tambre, we reached Nova and its
single inti where we refreshed ourselves
soon after noon. Here we procured another
guide, a typical GaHegan, from whom.oa
our way to" Santiago ue Camposielo, which
"we reached shortly before midnight, I drew
much useful information regarding the
people ot Galicia, the oldest, and once the
most famous province of Spain.
OLD GALICIA BEYIEWED.
The old sovereignty of Galicia comprises
the present four northwestermost provinces
oi Spain named Lugo, Coruna, Orense and
Ponteveda, with a population or 2.000.000
souls. The inhabitants are descended from
the ancient Bcetians and preserve their fine
physique and iacial peculiarities to a re
markable degree. The cities and towns are
far apart and strikinglv interesting in very
ancient, though unartistic architecture;' but
the region, outside the towns, is moredensely
populous, considering its sterile mountains
and tempest-swept moors, than any other
portion of Spain. Outside ot the cities and
the more pretentious hamlets there is no
habitation deserving a better name than
hovel in all Galicia. Their owners call them
chozas, and they are perched iu all manner
of romantic andoutof the way places, usu
ally sheltered and half hidden by luxuriant
chestnut groves. In these chozas whether
the peasant occupant is a sitiero or tenant at
will, at a rental not exreeding three Ameri
can dollars per year, or whether he has be
come the proud possessor of a few acres,
which is every Gallegan's highest dream,
the peasant of Galicia who remains at home
idly sit1; and dozes his life away iu sodden
indolence. Four bare walls, the outside
always whitewashed, the inside black with
smoke and filth, and a thatched roof, are
enough for shelter. He needs little fire,
and the dead branches of the forests pro
Tide for this. A patch for potatoes, a
quarter o' an acre for mijo or millet, a half
acre lor borono or corn, are all he sullenly
pecks at in the summer; and for winter his
perro or dog is the same excellent company
as is his wife's rueca or distaff to her. Two
or three goats furnish enough milk, and
qneso or cheese whose horrible odor no com
pound can surpass. He may possess a
skmnv jacas on whose patient back burdens
inconceivable are packed. He knows no
spade nor plow nor other toil-provoking
implement; and as his choza always stands
beside a bubbling spring or songful rivulet,
so labor is ex; ended in his only other need.
JUST A HAMILESS ASIMAL.
This Gallegan is a sort of animal, never
exactly harmful, never wholly helpful, and
always wholly contented with a sombrero, a
pair of leather breeches, a shirt worn outside
these, a cockade or a tassel, and any red or
-veliow stuff tor a sash. He is not vicious.
When he was young he did some labor.
But altogether he is only a unit of calcula
tion in summing up population. It he be
married he lives peaceinlly anywliere in
the mountains. His wire is prolific of
children and rude expedients. He rears
children, like goats, because they come.
The are welcome to come, to stay or to go.
He is likely to know a few airs on the gaita,
the Spanish highland bagpipe, and be will
sing through his nose to this and the moon
with the same fervor at 80 as 18; while one
conld hardly lose his way in the Galician
mountains lor the lugubrious notes that
Teach from one choza to another, as these old
bagpipes and older Gallegan lungs bellow
and roar against the affrighted air.
Upon the lace of things one feels that all
is squalor, poverty and permeated with a
dumb sort o wretched content. But that
judgment would be wholly wrong. They
have this saying in Spain to describe a
hoarder of money: "He is as heavy with
onzas (an onza is about 510 in gold) as is a
Gallegan's breeches;" and there is said to be
greater wealth, in coin, per capita, in Gali
cia, than is possesses, by any other equal
rural population of Europe. This comes of
certain fixed and ineradicable characteristics
of the Gallegans, old, stubborn and flinty as
Spain itself.
Carlyle said of Emerson, ''He has learned
the art ot sitting still." The Gallegans ever
possessed it, pride in it, and send it down
through posterity as the one desirable
achievement of life. But that they may
"sit still" they calmly accept their period
of toil unflinchingly. When the Gallegan
youth has arrived at the age of 18, he goes to
his drudgery, at sea, iu the army, or as the
city menial.
A CHARACTER QUITE UNIQUE.
He sutlers every indignity without resent
ment. "Gallegau dog!" is the mildest uni
versal epithet applied to him. Kick him
and he will not even cringe. No power can
tempt him to resent insult, or break law, but
to deprive him of his earnings. He will not
squander a copper ochavo in an entire year.
He will starve himself toa skeleton?to save.
He will do anything but rob or murder
while at service to increase his hoard; and
though his homesickness for his mountain
dulcinea, perro and gaita are often to des
pairing that he dies of heartache and long
ing, he never will return to his beloved Ga
licia until he has earned enough to possess
his own choza and patch of ground. This is
his only earthly ambition, and he seldom
fails ot its realization.
Thousands of others gain this accomplish
ment as segadors or reapers. When the
southern fields are ripe whole armies of
Gallegan reapers set out from their moun
tain homes armed with the short hoz or
sickle, their wooden shoes slung over
their shoulders, something as the west of
Ireland men annually set forth for the En
glish harvest-fields, and, carrying also their
gaitas with them, pipe their way to the
south, where they reap the grain for the in
dolent farmers of Castile and Portugal. Be
turning on foot an they went, they wake
jrild and barbaric echoes through the Sierra
de la Culebre, Sierra de Banadrio and the
fair Jlontanas de Leon. The Gallegan wo
men meantime have cared for their own
little harvests, and irom autumn until
spring-time, save for the occasional droning
ot the bagpipe, the crack oi the retaco or
blunderbuss, and the wolfish barking of the
mountain dog, sodden silence and lifeless
sleep seem to have knit all Galicia into a
forbidding and gloomy web of leaden and
obdurate repose.

SCENES IN PALESTINE
What Talmage Saw in December in
the Valley of the Jordan,
AT JERICHO AND THE DEAD SEA.
Delightful Travel on Arabian Horses, With
Glimpses of Kebo and Pisgah.
THE BAPTISM OF A HAH IN THE BIYER
rcOBBESFOXDXXCX OF THK DISPATCH. 1
Kazaeeth, December 13. People who
visit Palestine in the spring, when the hill
sides and the valleys are green and the
trees covered with luxuriant foliage, have
deligtful experiences no doubt, but from
what I hear and my orn thorough enjoy
ment of my trip, I am strongly of the
opinion that now is the best time of the year
for the stranger in the Holy Land. As Dr.
Talmage puts it: "Nature now has her
gloves off." In these clear days of Decem
ber one gets at things with a single glance.
Hill and valley are clearly defined, and
brook and river are seen unobstructed by
the leaves of bordering trees. Bums, fruit
ful in historic suggestion, stand out in
the bareness which is the aptest ex
pression of their bald antiquity. In the im
portant matter of personal comfort, more
over, it is an immeasurable relief to be
spared the torments inflicted in the warmer
season of the year by fleas, flies and other
creatures, insectile and of the larger kind.
These, as many a much-persecuted traveler
might attest, make life almost intolerable iu
the hot months.
A LUXURIOUS WINTER CLIMATE.
"We happily escape their inflictions, and
at the same time have a positive pleasure in
the climate. December in Palestine is a
luxury. The sun shines just warm enough
to be agreeable, and the wind is only cool
enough to be refreshing and bracing.
The trip we made from Jerusalem to the
Jordan was as pleasant in realization as a
fairy tale is in contemplation. "We left Jer
usalem by the Jaffa gate, our horses pawing
the ground impatientlv as eager to begin the
journey. Leaving the Visitation of the
Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane,
the Valley of Jehoshaphat and Bethany,
the home of Mary and Martha and Lazarus,
for a more convenient season, we passed,
making our first stop, that for lunch, at the
Good Samaritan's Inn. This, more correctly
described, is the old Hathrur Khan. It is
situated half way between Jerusalem and
Jericho, and is in a ruinous condition.
There is nothing to question the probability
that on the same sight on which it stand's
was situated the inn to which the neighborly
Samaritan conveyed the poor lellow who
had fallen among thieves.
A GOOD LOCALITY for brigands.
The region thereabout is desolate, and the
way affords opportunities of ambush conve
nient to the operations of highwaymen. Our
Lord knew the place well, for it was on the
road taken by Galilean travelers on their
way to and from Jerusalem. There is suffi
cient of Biblical interest in the spot without
giving way to credulity, and the visitor suf
fers nothing by quietly declining to accept
as well authenticated, all the stories told
him of the various places he sees. It was
enough for us to find in the ruinous khau
an opportunity of repose and refreshment,
and to reflect that it occupies in all prob
ability the site of the inn existing in the
time of our Lord to which he made refer
ence in the beautiful narrative of the Good
Samaritan, and where He perhaps often
rested awhile in His errands of good-will to
men.
Bemounting, we continued our course,
visiting next the Brook Cherith where
Elijah was sustained with the bread and
meat supplied by ravens.
ON OLD JERICHO'S SITE.
By nightfall we had reached what is sup
posed to be the site of old Jericho, where
we encamped for the night, and of which no
trace remains. If not here certainly near
it, at the blasts of Hebrew trumpets fell the
walls of the doomed city. Our camp was
almost at the foot ot what is now called the
Mount of Temptation, on which, it is
claimed, Christ was tempted of the devil.
The Jericho of the time of our Lord was
near. It was a splendid city of which many
remains exist The hill above its site seems
to consist largely of the rubbish of the
houses, temples and palaces in which Herod
the Gfttit took pride. Fragments of ancient
pottery and glass still reward the zeal of the
searcher.
Our night at Jericho was the first one op
which we camped out The new experience
was a pleasant one, disappointing agreeably
the anticipations we formed of it Early
the next morning we resumed our journey.
The first point of interest that attracted our
attention was the peaks known as Mount
Pisgah and Nebo.
JUST A GOOD PROBABILITY.
There is no certainty that the peaks
pointed ont to us under these names are the
exact ones on which respectively Moses
"viewed the landscape o'er" and ended his
mortal life, but the probability is that Pis
gah is rightly identified, because on a clear
day all Palestine is visible to the naked eye
from its summit We were next shown the
house of Zaccheus, which is a remarkably
well preserved edifice. The earnest little
man who climbed into a sreamore tree to
see Jesus, because he was little of stature,
took the best means of accomplishing this
purpose. The tree named grows branches in
a horizontal direction and near the ground,
thus affording a capital place of observation.
Dr. Talmage's well-used Bible came into
use for the general good while we were
stopping at Zaccheus' house, where our
reverend leader read the account of the con
version ot its occupant as related in the gos
pel. An hour's delightful ride brought us to
"the clear blue waters" of the Dead Sea a
calm and beautiful expanse nearly 50 miles
long and about ten miles wide. It receives
the water of the Jordan at its northern end,
but has no outlet at the south.
BIBICAL SCENES RECALLED.
"We sat down on its shingly beach and
read its history. Then we bathed our hands
and faces in its waters, which as soon as the
moisture dried off, we found covered with
a white, salty incrustation. The air on its
shores was pure and refreshing, and we
should have liked to loiter longer by it. Dr.
Talmage tried a mouthful of the water of
the sea, which he lound to be exceedingly
disagreeable to the taste. The so
called apples of Sodom we found
by actual experiment are not filled
with ashes, as says a Sunday
school fable, but with seeds. We collected
many beautiful pebbles before we left this
interesting place, from a variety of every
conceivable shape and color, which
brightens up the beach and renders it a
great temptation to stay long. This we
were not able to do, for Dr. Talmage was
impatient of longer delay, his work of
making notes for his "Life of Christ," keep
ing him constantly busy, and we were soon
again in the saddle, onr beautiful Arabian
horses leaving rapidly behind them what
the Brooklyn divine graphically describes
as the "crvstal sarcophagus of the buried
cities."
BAPTIZED IN THE JORDAN.
I must return here to something that hap
pened earlier in the day. On our way to
the Dead Sea, shortly after we had started
out in the morning, and while at modern
Jericho a wretched village consisting of
mud houses and hedged about with thorns
Dr. Talmage was greeted warmly by s group
of gentlemen, some of them Americans, who
were making a protracted stay in the Holy
Land. One of them, who was from Boston,
introduced himielf as the author of a volume
which criticises severely some of Dr. Tal
mage's sermons. He hoped, however, that
this fact wonld not prevent the Doctor per
mitting him to make one of the party as far
as the Jordan. Dr. Talmage consented cor
dially to this arrangement which included
an invitation to the companionship of all the
Boitonian's friends. Our new friends
proved themselves to be men of considerable
attainments, well acquainted with the
country through which we were traveling
and thoroughly well up in its Biblical asso
ciations. Their entertaining conversation
added much to the interest'of the trip. After
awhile one of them, who is a resident of
Manhattan, Kan., inquired of Dr. Talmage
whether he would consent to baptize him by
immersion in the river Jordan. The desired
consent was given, and 3 p.m. appointed as
the time for the ceremony, which was sol
emnly performed.
OBSERVED BY IMMERSION.
Dr. Talmage then said: "In this historic
river, which parted three times to let God's
people pass dryshod, and in which Haaman
plunged seven times for healing from dire
disease, and from the banks of which Elijah
ascended in equipage of fire, and in which
Christ was baptized, and which for ages has
been the symbol of the division between
earth and heaven, I now baptize thee."
Then, taking the candidate by the hand,
he led him into the water, quoting the
authority tor baptism as found in Matthew
xxviii., verse 19. Beaching the sufficient
depth, he immersed the candidate, repeating
the usual tormula: "In the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost" after which he pronounced the
benediction. At the close of the ceremony
Dr. Talmage said:
"As the ordinance was observed under
the direction of no particular denomination
of Christianity, and no particular church
should be responsible for it, I feel it my
duty to report what I did to the church uni
versal." Soon after the service we mounted our
horses and began the return trip, passing on
the way Gilgal, where Saul, the first king
of Israel, was crowned and paying a visit of
inspection to the huts which are inhabited
by the poverty-stricken Arabs of modern
Jericho.
A GROTESQUE BEDOUIN DANCE.
The 50 Bedouins who visited us here were
about equally divided as to sex. They kept
entirely separate during the strange per
formance they cave. First the men ap
peared. Standing in a row, the light of the
flickering flames illuminating their features
with an uncertain glimmer, they awaited a
signal irom their leader, who was the sheik
of the village, to begin the dance. Receiv
ing it they set to work as one man, singing,
screeching, yelling, jumping and accompa
nying these exercises with contortions and
gyrations of every conceivable and incon
ceivable sort, brandishing swords and an
tiquated pistols. Their antics were exciting
but harmless. As they knew but one tune,
and that tune set, as it seemed to me, to but
two places in the scale, its frequent repeti
tion soon made the performance monoto
nous. So we called a halt, and asked that
the women performers take their turn.
Our wish was obeyed, bnt did not
bring relief, for they went through
the same performance as that of the
men. At the end of their indescribable
antics however, one of them, a half-unbosomed
wild looking woman of about 45
vears old, approaching Dr. Talmage with a
fierce look:, nearly startled him off his seat
by putting her lips close to his ear and
blowing into it with shocking unexpected
ness a shrill, blood-curdling thrill that
seemed to pierce the very center of his nerv
ous system. Then going over to each mem
ber of the party; she gave us one by one,
the full benefit of her lungs in like man
ner. Then our visitors quietly withdrew
and we saw them no more.
THE WELL SWEETENED BY ELISHA.
Dnring our encampment at Jericho we
drank water from the well of which tra
dition says it was the one the waters of
which were miraculously sweetened by the
Prophet Elisha. On the morning of our de
parture (or Jerusalem we visited the well
itself, which was ponring forth an inex
haustible supply of the purest water in all
Palestine. We lunched the second time at
the Good Samaritan's Inn, after which we
pushed on to Bethany, situated about two
miles from Jerusalem. The name means
"The House of Poverty," -which aptly de
scribes it as it is now. There are perhaps
40 mud houses in the village, lying sleepily
400 feet below the summit ot the Mount of
Olives. The house said to stand on the site
of the one once lived in by Mary and Lazarus
was visited by us, as a matter of course.
We spent 15 minutes in the Garden of
Gethsemane, or what is now known by that
title. It is an enclosure laid out in flower
beds, with olive trees here and there. Seven
trees within a railing are said to have been
the exact ones under which our Lord "sweat
as it were great drops of blood," bnt as Titus
had all trees surrounding Jerusalem cut
down, the devout Franciscans who first made
the claim for the aged trees I have men
tioned were probably mistaken.

LIGHTNING IN ALLEGHENY.
North Avenue Citizens Alarmed by a Motor
Displnr.
People living along the lice of the Pleasant
Valley Electric line are getting their lightning
now, it is claimed, in strictly allopathic doses.
Not the "Jersey" article, but the real genuine
stuff as manufactured by the Olympian Jove.
Along North avenue the display seems to be
most plenteous, and absorbs the attention of
the citizens.
Last night in particular the illumination was
snblime, fire flying from the trolley wires in
blinding flashes. One old gentleman living on
that street, it is said, has become so demoral
ized by terror of grounded wires, etc,, that he
has insulated almost every article in bis house.
The spectacle of the aged man sittingin a chair,
the legs of which are carefully placed in glass
saucers, is certainly unique. Several others
are somewhat nervous, bnt happily not to snch
a degree as the party mentioned.
In connection with the trouble which may
arise from the propinquity of electric light
wires to those of the street-car lines, there is a
complaint from the residents of the corner of
Fourth avenue and Grant street. The light
hangs down within six inches of the railroad
line, and so near to the telegraph pole that the
residents of that locality are alarmed, and the
position of the light or that of the street-car
route will have to be changed.

was hardly a spot in bis body free from pain.
He says: "I had four doctors, but all failed to
give me any relief. When I began treating
with the physicians of the Folypathic Insti

A SPECIAL CASE.
Showing the Wdrk Done for Mr. Hoe
dle, of Allegheny.
JOTTINGS FROM NEAR TOWNS.
"Small matters often lead to large and
sometimes serious results," remarked Mr.
Hoedle, "and it was especially true in my
case."
It was Mr. Oscar Hoedle, of 189 East
street, Allegheny, who was speaking. He
is a corkmaker by trade, and was employed
by Messrs. Armstrong Bros. & Co., the
well-known cork manufacturers, whose
works are located at Twenty-fifth street and
Penn avenne.
"I contracted a severe cold about two
years ago. After a time it seemed to leave
me, but whether it had really never left me
or whether I took fresh cold I do not Know.
At any rate my head and nose become
stopped up so that I could scarcely breathe.
First one nostril would clog up and then
another. There were constant ringing and
bnzzing noises in my ears, and I had a dull
pain in my forehead.
"There was a dropping of matter from my
head to my throat, which was very- much
worse when I laid down in bed at night. I
was continually hawking and raising and
trying to clear my throat. Gradually my
whole system became inoculated. There
would be sharp pains take 'ue in my chest,
extending as far as the shoulder blades. My
appetite failed me. I would feel hungry, but
when I sat down at the table could eat but
little.
Mr. Otcar Hoedle, 189 Scat Street.
"I was unable to sleep at night, the drop
ping in my throat annoyed me so. I would
arise in the morning feeling more tired than
when I went to bed. The slightest exposure
would give me fresh cold. I grew weaker
and weaker every day, and the least exer
tion tired me out
"It was while in this condition that I read
of a case similar to mine, which Doctors
Copeland and Blair had treated success
fully. I called on them, and after stating
my case and being examined, placed myself
under their rare.
"I soon noticed an improvement. The
dropping in my throat ceased. My appetite
commenced to improve, and my nose and
head were no longer stopped up. The ring
ing in iny ears no longer bothered me, and
my headaches had entirely disappeared.
My improvement was steady and perma
nent. The pain in my chest disappeared. I
contracted no more colds, and wonld get up In
the morning feeling refreshed by my night's
sleep
"bumming it all up I feel as well as I ever
did, and owe my recovery to Drs. Copeland and
Blair."
Mr. Hoedle lives, as stated, at No. 189 East
street, Allegheny, and this statement can be
readily verified.
MR. BARNES STORY.
Statement From a Well. Known Gentleman of
Hickman, Pa.
The statement given below is from one of the
patients residing out of the citv who wan
treated from the office of Drs. Copeland &
Blair. The gentleman in question is Mr. Will
iam Barnes, of Hickman, Pa., a thriving town
on the Pittsbug, Chartiers and Youghlogheny
Railroad, about IS miles ont from Pittsburg
During a recent conversation with tho writer,
he said: "Five years ago my trouble first made
its appearance, and it continued to crow stead
ily worse until I was at last in a very serious
condition. My head and nose were first stopped
np, and there was a dropping from my head to
my throat. I wonld get up in the morning
feeling more tired than when I went to bed
the night before. I could eat but little, and
what 1 did eat laid like a heavy load on my
stomach.
"At last .the trouble extended to my chest
There would be sharp pains stabbing like a
knife right over my heart. My lungs became
affected and I had a dry, hacking cough. I
grew weaker and weaker and was unable to do
any work. I lost all sense of taste and smell.
1 was aavised to go to England. I went there,
and spent a great deal of money, but derived no
benefit. I became disheartened and honest
ly believed my trouble would soon cause my
death.
"1 was advised while in this condition to try
Drs. Copeland & Blair. I had read of the great
good they were doing, so determined to see
them.
"The result has been a great surprise to me.
I improved rapidly from the very first. 1 soon
regained my sense of smell and taste. I have
no more trouble with my heart or pains in my
chest. I can eat well and feel refreshed by my
sleep. I can work all day and feel good at
nlcht. In fact, I am perfectly well. I owe my
recovery to Drs. Copeland dc Blair, and shall be
glad to speak with anyone about my case."
Result of Home Treatment.
Some time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hulton,
Allegheny county. Pa., commenced a course of
home treatment for his' catarrhal trouble, un
der the care of Drs. Copeland fc Blair.
At that time his trouble bad assumed a very
aggravated form. He stated to the writer as
follows: .
"My nostrils wonld clog up. My head ached
constantly. I bad severe pains in my chest.
There was a dropping of mucus from my head
to my throat. I bad night sweats. My heart
would palpitate rapidlv. and be followed by a
slow, irregular beating and feeling of faintness.
I was dally growing weaker. The slightest ex
ertion tired me and I was unfit for work."
"How do you feel now!"
"Like another being. All the symptoms I
have described to you have disappeared, and I
feel as well as I ever did in mv We."
Last May Miss Lottie J. Fofker, of 299 Arch
street, Meadville, Pa., placed herself under
treatment by mail with Drs. Copeland & Blair
for her catarrhal tronble.
On Jnne 9 she wrote: "Your medicine is
doing me good. I do not feel so tired, and my
headaches have ceased."
August 26 her letter stated: "I feel quite
like a different woman from the one I was when
1 commenced your treatment."
Mr. M. C. Wilson, who commenced using the
home treatment early In July, wrote on the
23th of the Bame month: "I am improving
steadily; feel much better than 1 have for years
past."
Augnst 18 he wrote: "I am feeling like a differ
ent being from the ono 1 was when I com
menced your treatment, and am glad to be able
