ter filed with the various kinds of coin on
stand beside him are Greeks. These Greeks
own q great part Of the lands Of Egypt. The
Egyptian peasant knows nothing of the phi
lsoopby of mortgages and interest. When
he gets into difficulty he will pay any rate of
interest TO get out for the time and these
Greeks have gone over the country and lent
money at usurious rates, taking
mortgages on the land. / am told they own
now about one-fifth of the land of Egypt
and that they often get as much as per cent
n month on good security. The legal rate is
less than this, the limit being l2 per cent per
annum, but by the shaving OF the notes they
increase this amount 80 per cent and more at
times. They dress in European clothes
with tho exception OF the fez cap, which
nearly all foreigners in Egypt wear, and
some OF them are well educated. They are
the worst as we'll as the richest people OF
Egypt. The poorer among them being often
disreputable, and constantly mixed up in
thefts and stabbing ARRAYS. They look not
unlike the English and they are almost al
ways good linguists There are many
wealthy Jews in Cairo and 1t Is a curious
thing that most OF them are red headed.
In addition TO all these classes there is the
population of the old Part of the city which
may be called Oriental Cairo. 1t is filed
with bazaars owned by Turks, Persians,
Syrans and Mohammedans from other parts
of the world. In it you forget that the Eu-
ropeanized Cairo exists and you live over
agein the scenes of the Arabian knights.

CAPTURING A LEPER.
An Incident Illustrating n Feature in
Hawaiian Life.

Hawaiian Life.
A correspondent writing on May IL
from Napoopoo, North Kona, to the
honolulu Gazette, says:
Here is the latest Napoopoo sensation:
Lot, an able bodied leper, residing at
Napoopoo, had for d long time bid de-
fiance to the authorities to arrest him.
On Tuesday, the 7th inst, he was cap
tured by the deputy sheriff, assisted by
a policeman. The arrest was effected
by means Of a we'll arranged plan of
siege laid down by John Antoine of
Keuiakekua. 1t seems that Lot had
caused the impounding of a number of
cattle in the proprietorship OF which
Mr.. Antoine was interested and de-
manded damages at the rate of 1925 per
head. Mr.. Antoine couldn't see it, but
started for Hookena to interview the
district judge and obtain some
process for the release of the impounded
stock. The magistrate happened to be
up on the mountain engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits. Mr.. Antoine did not
care to wait the judicial convenience,
but somehow or other got into commu-
nication with the deputy sheriff, after
which this official and two policemen
on sighting that pretty sequestered viii
lage, the citizen and officers parted COM
pany, code of signals having been
agreed upon. The officers took the road
by way of the mountain and the citizens
continued along shore. Mr.. Antoine
called on Mr.. Lot, informed him that
he had not succeeded in finding the
magistrate at Hookena, but that he
wanted the cattle released all the same,
engaging the leper in parley
to secure better terms. In the course
of the conference the leper was drawn
away distance of about four PAGES
from the sixteen-repeating rifle with
which he had up to that successfully
guarded his castle. The officers were
in position outside the wall. The sig
nal having been given, they rushed in,
in opposite directions, and affected the
arrest, though not till they had some
pretty rough handling from the prls-
oner. In addition to the rifle, the pris-
oner was armed with pocket pistol,
with which, it is said, he intended, if
taken, to kill his captor and then kill
himself. The rifle and pistol were both
secured and put out of reach of mis-
chief. The unfortunate prisoner was
then taken to Hookena.

Philosophy of the Day.


The degrees of luck are so various
that they can be applied to all -circum-
stances.
Wisdom waits to be asked for advice.
Truths differ. Sometimes they are
told to mans face, and sometimes be-
hind his back.
The truth about some men is not told
until after they are dead.
Vanity produces corns and vexations
OF spirit.
Trusts are combinations OF men and
corporations that cannot trust one an
other.
If every man could have his way, the
world would be almost depopulated.
Some men discipline themselves to
dcauh.
Experience gets there every time.
Worry kills more men than wars.
A woman tired of hearing of love is
tired of living.
Men would be less wicked If they
would hunt for fewer opportunities.
Great men can outgrow nicknames.
Sometimes it is wiser to beg pardon
than TO fight. The other fellow may be
bigger, and black eye is cloud.
The man that never knows the time
OF day is always too late or too early to
wait.
The man that guesses at probabilities
often overreaches the man that waits
for the truth.
Many a man lives ON the reputation
others make for him.

the Parnellite members of the House Of
Commons, in its issue to-day says:
Pigott has not been an Apostle Paul. The
dismay in Downing street must be only de-
gree less than that which prevails in the Times
Office. There is not Tory to-day who is not
feeling heartsick at the evidence of the wit
ness on whose veracity and dunimpeachabler repu-
tstion the Tines case absolutely depends.
The Gazette points out that even the
Unionist papers, the Telegraph and the
Chronicle, admit that the Times case has
collapsed, the Chronicle even stating that
every one expected that Sir Charles Russell
would apply to the Court for Pigott's COM
initial or detention. Continuing, the Ga
zette says:
If the conviction has now slowly filtered into
the minds of Mr.. Walter and his staff that they
have been cruelty hoaxed by an ingenious and
resourceful blackmailer, the only course open
deceived, and withdraw their allegations, offer
the handsomest apology, and pay the costs
they have forced upon the men whom they
traduced on Pigotts authority.
The Star, Mr.. 7. P. O'Connor's paper,
commenting on Pigott's evidence, says:
The connection between the Times and the
Government is twofold. The Government
Times case. If Attorney General Webster had
not been enabled to play the parts Of prose-
cutor, judge and Trainer of the Indictment.
there could have been no tribunal at all. If
he had not assured Lord Salisbury that the let
tiers would be proved to be genuine, the comis-
sion would not have been created, and the
Unionists would never have suffered such
blow as by their own piteous admissions awaits
them The Government chose the game, load
ed the dice, selected its partners, and arranged
the rules of the game, and it must pay up now.
Ihe price is the dissolution of Parliament. We
want to know what the country thinks of Pig
OFT.
The Globe and st. James Gazette make
no allusions to the subject.

Everything.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.I
COLUMBUS, O., February %. - The
Church divorce trial was this evening ad-
journed to Monday morning, with Colonel
Church, the defendant, on the stand. His
direct examination has not yet been COM
pleted. Before the defendant was called,
c. ID. Firestone was examined to show Col
onel Church had used "cuss words" on one
occasion, when he failed to secure an cleo
tion as delegate to the Chicago Conven-
tion.
Walter S. Church, brother of the de-
fendant, who resides at Pittsburg, was the
next witness. He had visited his brother
about once every two months, and was there
Saturday night and Sunday before the sep
aration. He had observed that his brother
was always kind and affectionate husband
He had never seen the child, Ruth, pun
ished by his brother. During his last visit
st his brothers home, he thought Mrs
Church did not take the same interest in
her husband that shedormerlv had.
The next witness was Arthur P. Ken
nedy, an attorney of Pittsburg, friend of
the defendant for the past II years, and was
'sbest man" at the wedding. He has visited
Mr.. and Mrs Church frequently since the
marriage. He had never seen Colonel
Church quarrel with anyone. Speaking of
the husband and wife, Mr.. Kennedy said
they always seemed to be affectionate, and
there seemed to be great deal of happiness
there
The cross examination turned to the mat
ter of the witness visit to the joyce resi-
dence. Mr.. Kennedy said that the first in
formation he had of any differences between
the husband and wife was the day after the
separation occurred. On that day he re-
ceived telegram from the Colonel, asking
him to come to Columbus Immediately, as
be had business of Importance for him. The
Colonel met him at Newark, and went to
the Joyce home to see Mrs. Church, as the
agent of his friend, for particular purpose.
The defendant had admitted to witness that
he called his wife - fool.
Colonel Church took the stand about P.
NJ. He said when his wife was away they
wrote letters to each other almost every day.
A bundle of letters were handed plaintiff,
which he identified as those which he had
written to his wife while she was in Florida
and Atlantic City. They were offered as
evidence, and after one or two of them had
been read, Mrs. Church was greatly affected,
and had to be taken from the room. There
were eight of the letters, and those portions
referring to his wife direct were couched In
the most endearing terms
The Colonel repeated his statement as to
the expenditure of Sl3,0 for household ex-
penses during their married life, and entered
a general denial of all charges of cruelty and
infdelity made by the plaintiff.

DELANo, CAL, February 23.-Coroner
Buckrass to-day held an inquest over the
body of Charles F. Cabert, the young man
killed in the train robbery near Pixley,
Cal, last evening. He was native Of
West Virginia, aged 20 years, and was in
stantly killed. Testimony given by P. 7.
Bolger, engineer, and c. j. Alder, fireman,
showed that when leaving Pixley two
masked men boarded the engine with shot
guns and ordered the engineer to pull out.
They fired shot when two miles out and
ordered the engineer to slow down.
The engineer and firemen were taken back
by the robbers to the express car, and a
bomb was thrown under the car. The ex-
plosion nearly turned the car over. The
messenger came out when ordered. One of
the robbers entered the car, while the other
held the fireman, engineer and messenger
under cover. Meanwhile Brakeman Gabert
came up on one side of the car and Bentley
came up on the other side of the car to see
cause of the delay. When they were ap-
preaching one robber exclaimed "Stop,"
and fired. Brakeman Gabert received
a heavy load of buckshot in the heart and
head, killing him instantly.
The robbers then reached under the car
and fired at the other party. Bentley was
struck by several shot in the abdomen and
right arm. The robbers then marched the
three men upon the engine and backed
away into the darkness. 1t was thought
that the affair was not. the work of pro-
fessionals, as it was needlessly murderous.
The robbers secured only S400. Armed par
ties are securing the country in search of
the robbers.

suffering wrong. In further commenting
upon Mr.. Morgan's magazine article Mr..
Hoar eulogized Southern gentlemen for
their bravery, intelligence, constancy and
other good qualities, but he warned them
that within the lifetime of some who lis
tened to him there would be 100000 ne
groes dwelling in the Southern States, and
that, if the methods reported were persisted
in, the white people of the South were SOW
ing a seed from which was to come har-
vest of horror and blood to which the French
revolution, or that of St Domingo, was
Light in comparison.
The people Of the North were anxious to
aid the South in every possible way if the
South would only receive that help and not
spurn it.
Mr.. Daniels criticised Mr.. Hoar's speech
as having contained no response to the ques-
tion asked him. AS the Senator from Mas
sachusetts had proclaimed that his resolution
was non-sectlonal, he should ask him, ere
the resolution was voted upon, to insert
provision to have that condition of things
in Ohio inquired into regarding the treat
ment of colored children in connection with
the school question.
At this point of his speech (after having
spoken nearly five hours) Mr.. Daniels
yielded for motion to 60 into executive
session. That motion, however, was not
pressed, and after notice that resolutions
as to the death of Representative Burns, of
Missouri, would be called up at 3
o'clock on Monday, the Senate adjourned.
