PAGE THREE THE NEW JERUSALEM JARS WITH MOBERN NOTE rOUTHS PRESENT BOGUS COUNT TO TEST GIRLS. SCENE FROM. "SIS HOPKINS," IYIUO THEATRE, FRIDAY, JAN 3. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY i, 1913. Kf, rnn t r Skyscrapers on Sites of Temples, Noisy Trolleys and Taxloabs. The spirit of modern progress Is mov ing in tho Holy Laud in a way that is playing havoc -with its nnclcut plctur fcsqucness nnd hoary traditions, accord ing to the Rev. S. K. Graham, president of tho Weslcynn Theological seminary In tho United States. "In Egypt," ho said, "the new order of things did not seem to matter so much. One rather expects that sort .of thing where the hand of English In Jenco Is felt to any degree. But In the Holy Land It is qulto different. It 'is a shock to one's preconceived no tions and religious Weals to find a rampant twentieth century civilization swec'plng away all of tho hallowed as sociations of scenes where tho Saviour walked ind talked v.hcn on earth.

Crown Prince May Pay Emperor In His Own Coin. It seems to be quite tho usual thing for reigning monarchs and their heirs to bo at loggerheads. AVe can all call to mind the treatment of tho Emperor Frederick of Germany by his son, the present kaiser. And, it looks very much as though the latter gentleman is likely to be paid out in his own coin, for the es trangement between the crown prince and his father shows no signs of be ing healed. This being the case, the quarrel between tho two assumes an altogether international importance, for at any moment the crown princo may bo called upon to assume the reins of government Since his views are opposed to those of his father, it naturally follows that when he takes his place at the helm he will steer the German ship of state upon a different course to that which has until now been sailed. Tho refusal of tho kaiser to associ ate his eldest son and heir with him in tho government of tho empire has aroused a considerable amount of pub lic attention. The crown princo is universally liked, and his consort is a favorite with all classes. It is generally ac knowledged that ho is a capable level headed, sensible a. 1 able young man, wholesome In e'erj sense of tho word nnd possessed t many qualities that might be used to the advantage of his fellow countrymen. RAID ON BANANA BUTTER. Judge Landis Active, but Treasury Has No Complaint Against Makers. Tho officials of tho treasury depart ment are at odds with United States Judge Kenesaw II. Landis of Chicago over his action in directing the United States attorney there to Institute an in vestigation by tho federal grand jury on charges that the packing companies which manufacture oleomargarine are defrauding tho government out of the internal revenue tax of 10 cents a pound a colored oleomargarine. The tax is only half a cent a pound on the uncolored product Some time ago tho oleomargarine manufacturers devised a new method of making tho product from banana oil. Through their counsel they sub mitted to the treasury department not only all tho Ingredionts, but also the finished product, to ascertain whether they would bo prosecuted for evading tho ten cent tax if they used tho new method. The government chemists made an analysis of tho samples sub mitted and informed the manufactur ers that they could uso their method without being liable for the higher tax. According to the officials of tho treas ury, the packing officials are innoceut of any deliberate evasion of the inter nal revenue tax and have co-operated with tho federal officials In freely sub mitting their samples and process to tho government chemists for official sanction before its adoption. Alaska School Children Farmers. As evidence of what American school teachers are accomplishing In Alaska, the federal bureau of education at Washington has received a basket of potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc., grown In the school garden at Klukwan.

COMMODORE OLIVER HAZARD PERRY'S flagship, tho Niagara, is to bo raised from tho bottom of Misery bay, Presquo isle peninsula. The old war vessel to which Perry fled when his original flagship, the Lawrence, was forced to strike hor colors Is to take a leading part in tho centennial celebration of the battle of Lake Erie next summer. Her hull Is in good condition, accord ing to experts who have examined her, and a cofferdam Is to be built about her so that the remains of the vossel will be ihtiii.ijjod as llltlo as possible in raising. Tut' hulk will bo towed ashore and brought Into a drydock used for repairing ilshlug tugs, there to be re built and made ready for the part.lt is to take In the celebration. When Barclay had suneudered to the gallant I'orry the American fleet re turned to Erie harbor, and the vessels, both Perry's and the captured English gunboats, vrero anchored temporarily In Misery bay, a small inlet leading back into the woods that cover Presque isle peninsula. Tho Lawrence was so badly riddled that no attempt was made to preserve it. Its splintered timbers were con verted Into walking sticks and knick knacks to bo disposed of as sonvenlrs. The Niagara, however, was useful for u number of years, and finally, not knowing a better way of disposing of tho ancient warship, tho residents of Erie scuttled it in Misery bay, where it has remained since, covered by fif teen feet of water. Can Be Raised Easily. The Perry centennial commission en gaged the sen-lew of an expert diver and had the hulk carefully examined. He reported that it is well preserved and could be raised easily. Public spirited citizens of Erie are endeavoring to have the old vossel placed In Central park, where It Is pro posed to erect a suitable building in which to protect it from tho elements. One plan is to erect a huge aquarium in which the vessel can be placed, with fish of every species found in tho lakes inclosed with it. The story of the battle of Lako Erie will never grow old. How the Niagara came to be Perry's flagship is graphi cally told by John Clark Ridpath, tho historian: "Tho Lawrence, Perry's flagship, be gan to suffer dreadfully under the con centrated fire of the enemy. First one gun and then another was dismounted. The masts were broken. The rigging of tho vessel was rent away. The sails were torn to shreds. Soon she yielded no longer to tho wind, but lay helpless on the water. "On the deck death held carnival. The American sailors lay dead and dy ing on every hand. During the two hours that Perry faced his antagonist his men were reduced to a handful. Entering the action tho Lawrence had a crow of officers and men numbering 103. Of these by 2 o'clock in the after noon eighty-three were either dead or wounded. Still Perry hold out. Oth ers fell around him until only the com mander and thirteen others wore left uninjured. Hero's Famous Exploit. "Meanwhile all tho ships had become engaged, but tho Niagara only at long range and ineffectively. Elliott, the captain of that vpssel, perceiving that resistance from the Lawrence had ceased, now sailed ahead, believing Perry had fallen nnd that the com mand had devolved on himself. "It was at this Juncture that Perry resolved upon that famous exploit which has made bis name immortal. He pulled down his battleflag, but left the stars and stripes still floating. Then, with his brother Alexander and four of his remaining seamen, ho low ered himself Into tho boat. He flung his pennant and battleflag over his arm and around his person, stepped Into tho boat, stood upright and order ed tho men to pull for the Niagara. "That vessel was more than a half mile distant. It required tho oarsmen fully fifteen minutes to make the pas sage. The boat had to pass in full After-Christmas Exchange Items.

Tho number of recruits available for the French army has been reduced from 238.000 In 1000 to 215,000 in 1011 owing to diminution of the birth rate In France. So Joseph Itelnach has as sorted In debate in the chamber of loniiHau EI SMIL Terrific Fight Inspiration of the Great Picture at Washington. exposure to the enemy's guns. The British at once perceived what was doing. "As tho smoke cleared from around tho hull of the Lawrence they saw the daring act of the commander, trans ferring his flag from one ship to an other. His own vessel was shattered to death, but there was the Niagara, hale and strong. Should ho succeed In making her deck the battle would be to light over nguln. Victory or de feat was turning in tho Issue. Subject For Immortal Canvas. "The British guns opened on the lit tle boat. Discharge after discharge followed. Some of tho shots struck the frail cockle, and the splinters flew, but the men were unhurt Perry con tinued to stand up as a target until the faithful seamen refused to pull unless he would sink down to n posi tion of greater safety." This is tho scene which Is so dramat ically shown in W. H. Powell's great canvas in tho capltol at Washington and made familiar to millions of Amer icans through reproductions in steel engraving, mezzotint and illustration of school histories. "The Battle of Lake Erie" was painted by order of Congress in 1S05 at a cost of $25,000. The canvas Is thirty-five feet long and twenty-flvo feet high. The artist dis played admirable patriotism and lire in handling the inspiring subject, and the painting is the most popular In the capltol collection. Countrywide atten tion was nttractod to it in 1011, when tho discovery was made that a vandal had cut from It a strip three inches wide and thirty inches long near the artist's signature. "The shot from the enemy's guns knocked the water into spray around them," continues tho historian, paint ing his verbal picture, "but the boat reached the Niagarn In safety, and Perry was taken up. A moment moro nnd his battleflag was flying nbove tho unhurt ship." Thrilling is the story of how, his foot upon the deck of the Niagara, his bat tle flag again flying at tho fore, Perry swooped like n hurricane down upon the enemy's line, cut the British fleet in two right In the middle, three ves sels on the right, three upon the left, broadside after broadside on either hand, death and destruction in his re sistless wake. Victory In Half Hour. Thirty minutes, and all is over. The brave English commander, Barclay, hors de combat, his secoud in com mand, Flunis, killed. Human nnture could hold out no longer. Down comes tho British flag. We had met the ene my and they were ours, "two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop," said Perry in his report to Harrison, written on tho back of an old letter, his hat for a desk. The victor did not in tho elation of his triumph forget the situation around him. He caused himself to be transferred from the still unhurt Ni agara to tho bloody deck of the Law rence. There, and not in some other place, would ho receive the surrender of tho enemy. The British officers as they came up to present their swords had to pick their way through dead and dying, slipping in pools of blood as they came. Perry bade his antagonists retain their Bwords, his tho chivalry of ono whom the fortunes of war had given tho pow er but not the right to humiliate a fallen foe. In the silence of the following night the dead sailors, British and American, were consigned to their last rest in the clear waters of Lake Erie. Tho next day Perry brought back to Put-In-Bay his own and tho captured fleet. Sail ing into the harbor, the dead officers of both commands were burled ou the shore. The losses had been very great. On tho American twenty-seven were killed nnd ninety wounded this out of a force of but little moro than 400 effec tive men. The loss of tho British was forty-one killed nnd ninety-four wound ed, the gallant Captain Barclay, who had already lost an arm, having the misfortune to lose tho other. :-:H4"M''5H''H'K"t $1,000,000 to Teach Farmers.

"Count" Angelo Suglln of Rome, tall nnd hnndsome, whoso title was vouch ed for by a dozen members of St. Jo seph's Catholic club of New York, was Idolized by a score of young women of prominent families, at whose homes he called within two weeks. The rivalry among tho girls for u further acquaintance resulted In the "count" being overburdened with In vitations to dinners and entertain ments. "Tho count Is here for business, not pleasure." was the invariable excuse of his clcerones. "He has loft everything to us, and wo don't wnnt to fatigue him with too many social attentions." This contluued until ono night when the club, which has Its headquarters at 1008 Bathgate avenue, gave a dance. The announcement that the "count" would be present attracted a larger number of pretty girls than over at tended any of the club's similar func tions. "Whore Is the 'count?'" dozens of them asked breathlessly. The inquiries becamo so numerous and persistent that President Thomas B. Taffo mounted the stage and ex plained: "I am sorry, girls, that tho 'count' Is unable to come. The truth is he Is detained by business. But I am happy to say he Is not far from here. He Is across the street. Any of you who wish to get a glimpse of him can do so by standing In front of 1003 Bath gate avenue. That Is where he con ducts his shoe cobbling shop. He Is a shoemaker, not a 'count.' You girls have been fooled." Several of tho young women hissed. Others Immediately started out nnd in a moment were staring In ainnzeinent at tho "count," who, with t to.n apron, face and hands soiled, wt-s mending a shoe In a shop ncross the street. "Wo wanted to see if our girl friends would go wild over a foreign noble man, and we found out they would," explained Taffo later. MAY PATROL ICEBERG ZONE. Hydrographer Asks Naval Watch For High Seas. Tho recommendation that tho navy patrol tho steamship routes of the north Atlantic ocean during the ice berg season Is made by Commander Georgo F. Cooper, chief hydrographer, In his annual report for the current year. Such a patrol was maintained for two months last summer on the recommendation of the naval hydro graphic office by the scout cruisers Birmingham and Chester, following the loss, of the Titanic on April 15. Commander Cooper reviews the cir cumstances surrounding tho sinking of tho Titanic and states that his office has been Instrumental In bringing about changes In the steamship routes, owing to the presence of ice far south of tho usual locations of ico fields. He says tho branch of the naval hydrographlc office maintained at New York has been of great service during the year. This office has established recently on the floor of tho Maritime Exchange a chart on glass of tho north Atlantic ocean, on which is shown daily the position of every obstruction to navigation. Tho chart has been found so useful that the Philadelphia exchange has asked for n similar chart, which will be supplied. Tho New York office has rendered excellent service in distributing daily and nightly tho latest authentic news of ice and other menaces to naviga tion. Only lack of men nnd money prevents this office, Commander Cooper states, from rendering even greater services to navigation. I THE SUNRISE SONG "f I OF THE MIKADO BRINGS GIRL FAME.
