R. B. WEBSTER VISITS THE LAND OF HOLT WRIT. Jerusalem, March 18, '07. Editor of the Record; My last letter was mailed just as I left the ship last Wednesday.

We rode by carriage from Caifa to Nazareth and got there Just after sunset. The next morning at 6 o'clock we mounted our horses and started" for Tiberias. We ride anywhere through fields, streets, roads, up and down mountainsides covered with rocks- and stones. But our horses are sure-footed and we had noacci dents. The first day's ride was to the Sea of Galilee about twenty miles from Nazareth.

That afternoon we went across the lake In row boats. The wind blew for a time and we used the sail. We had a grand view of this lake, dearer to the Christian's heart than any other sheet of water in the world. The next day we rode back to Nazareth. We stopped at Cana of Galilee i for lunch, where we saw tne church built over what Is said to be the house where Jesus wrought his first miracle.

At Cana and at Nazareth we saw the mission school of the Church Missionary Society of England and also the orphanage which they have at Nazareth. We saw the rooms In which the children sleep and eat, and we heard them sing. These schools and the orphanage are doing a good work. We went into the two churches at Nar.areth and saw wnat is called Joseph's workshop, and some of us had a grand view from the mountain top. We saw the fountain in the church and the one in the town where the people come for water.

It Is a large fountain of beautiful, clear water. 5 On Saturday we rode to Jenin. We saw Naln, where the Savior raised from the dead the son of the widow, and Shunem, where Ellsha was entertained and where he restored to life tho son of the woman who had been kind to him. We lunched on the ground at Jezrlel, and reached Jentn that afternoon. This Is a Mohammedan village, but there is a good hotel there, built by the Hamburg-American line.

We rested here on the Sabbath. A mosque Is opposite the hotel and we had ft good view of the man (muezzin) who, several times a day, calls the people to prayer. The fountain Is Just In front of the hotel and we were much Interested In seeing the people cnm for water and filling Jara and goatskins. There Is a large stone trough for watering the horses and for washing clothes, and the hands and feet ot the people. They are not particular and sometimes wash in the part of the fountain from which they get the water.

On Monday we rode to Nabulus, the ancient We passed 8am-arla and saw the remains of acolonade which Is said to have stood since the tlrr.e of Herod, ard we saw the tombs In which It Is said that Ellsha and John the Baptist are burled. We also nassed Dothah 'and saw the pit Into which It Is sold Joseph was cast by his brethren. On Tuesday we rode from Nabulus a village a few miles from Jeru salem. nd saw Jacob's well, Shlloh and Wethrl, and rode through beautiful olive groves. With the exception of a few showers we have had pleasant weather for our horseback ride.

This Is a splendid day and we had a good view as we rame Into the city. Yours truly, (Rev) R. B. Webster. Death of Mri.

Arrangements will be made at once for the accommodation of ten patients and aa many as eighteen may Be accommodated. COUNTERFEITERS AT WORK. SECRET SERVICE MEN ARE TRY ING TO LOCATE THEM IN THIS CITY. A number of secret service men have been working In this vicinity since the counterfeiters were arrested at Luzerne Borough several weeks ago' and it Is believed that there Is a band of clever operators still at work. The detectives are running to ground every clue that comes under their notice.

It Is the general impression that it would rot be at all. surprising If there was a general round-up of the gang. It Is said by collectors who visit the Heights that It Is not at all unusual for them to take In a number of spurious coins each week. The dollar and quarter pieces are well executed and are easily passed off on the unsuspecting. The half dollar pieces, however, are poorly made and may be easily SERVING LARCENY SENTENCE.

Supreme Court on Schooler Will.

(Scranton Tribune.) There Is nothing In the Supreme Court Opinion in theSehooley-Crawford will case, handed down on Monday, to Indicate that the case must be tried before a Jury, as was generally supposed. On the contrary, the. case Is sent back to the Orphans' Court because of the fact that the preliminary proceedings are held to have been Irregular. Not only were they Irregular, but Judge Stewart, who wrote the opinion, states that the proceedings were coram nnn Judlce, which means thst they were never properly before the court. He holds that the will should first have been probated and then the question as to the genuineness passed upon, but that, as It was not probated, the whole proceeding was premature.

"Our sanitary committee has perhaps accomplished a great deal and created many good laws, but it has formed an insignificant part In the administrative and executive government of our city, and I am told that there have been years when only one of two meetings of the committee have been held for the consideration of its work and the results in the past speak for that truth.

It was not the lack of work to be done but a lack of the knowledge of the work to be done. "With our present system our officers are often chosen without any regard for their knowledge, character or personal fitness for the position which they are supposed to fill, but their appointment is dependent upon their political influence and friendship to the powers that be. ''Prejudice, apathy, ignorance and selfish interests bar sanitary progress and alike clog the wheels of legislation and administration. The time has come when our sanitary department phould be one of the most vital and important part9 of our municipal machinery. APPROPRIATION.

"It is not alone sufficient to have the iron wiinne and eanable to undertake this work, but it is necessary to have sufficient money to accomplish desirable results and this again our city has failed most decidedly to do. "The total annual revenues of. the city are about $450,000. Of this amount 2,000 goes to the Are department, to the nollce department, $79,000 to the street depr.rtment, $45,000 for lights and only $4,400 for the neann aepan mont. lrle.

We glory In our fire department! and take pride in our rollce depart- ment and so we should, but is the protection of our properties and homes of greater importance to a city than the protection of the lives and health of its citizens? It Is good to have our streets paved, but Isn't it better to remove the filth, dirt and infection rrom i them? And that is almost unheard of ir. Wilkes-Barre. We should have a street cleaning department governed by tanltary laws.

OUR MIUC AND WATER. "Our milk is examined and the work is well done as far as it goes. We know the quality of It, but does this knowledge protect our health? Do we know under what sanitary It is produced, to what Infection and contagious disease It has been exposed and of which it is capable of tranrmit-tiiK? Of these things, which are of vHal importance to us. we know nothing and we do know that grm-laden milk is capable of producing cholera lnrantuni, consumption, Infantile bowel troubles, diphtheria and scarlet" anl nrhold fevers. We mur-t go beyond the mere examination of a few enmpis of our milk monthly.

A rigid inspection of the dairies must be mnde: rn-tARioiis diseases round and neir our fnrms must be quarantined; a law requiring a general exsnunntlon of all cows for evidence of tuberculosis Phould be made, or better still, all milk ffoul'l be pasteurised and placed in bottles and sealed before delivery. It Is not sufficient for, us to examine our water after It has been carried to our homes and has Infected our house hold but the source of infection needs our greatest attention. It Is not sufficient that water companies patrol our waterphed. as experience has taiignt u. but this responsibility should he pisced upon the muntclpnllty, the of which are exposed to these in fer tlons.
