MOORISH WOMEN.
Something Concerning the Yelled Beauties
OF Northern Africa.


OF Northern Africa.
There Is something continually in
teresting in the muffled figures of
Moorish women, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly. They make you
almost ashamed of the uncovered faces
of the American women in the town;
and, in the lack of any evidence to the
contrary, you begin to believe every
Moorish woman or girl you meet is as
beautiful as her eyes would make it
appear that she is. Those of the Moor
tinctly handsome; they We're the wom-
en- benjamin Constant paints in his
pictures of Algiers, and about whom
Pierre Lotti goes into ecstasies in his
book on Tangier. Their robe or
cloak, or whatever the thing is that
they affect, covers the head like
hood, and with one hand they hold
one of it's folds in front of the face as
high as their eyes. The only times
that ever saw the face of any of them
was when | occasionally eluded Ma
hamed and ran off with a little guide
called Isaac, the especial protector OF
two American women, who farmed
him out to me when they preferred to
remain in the hotel. He ia particu-
larly beautiful youth, and l noticed
that whenever he was with me the
cloals of the women had a fashion of
coming undone, and they would lower
them for an instant and look at Isaac,
and then replace them severely upon the
bridge of the nose. Then Isaac would
turn toward me with a shy conscious
smile and blush violently. Isaac says
that the young men of Tangiers can
tell whether or not girl is pretty by
looking at her feet. 1t is true that
their feet are bare, but it struck me as
being somewhat reckless test for Sc

BE- TREE MAY Be A MURDERER.
Joseph Fernina Got the Bullet
Intended for His Brother.
Dying in the Jersey City Hospital
His Assailant Caught.

John Botrez, an italian, aged twenty
years, Of Twenty-second street. Bayonne.
was arrested at $50 o'clock this morn
ing at the corner of York and Greene
streets, Jersey city. Roundsman Hop
kins and Patrolman Kecfe, of the First
Precinct Station, had been looking for
him on IA charge OF shooting and fatally
wounding Joseph Fernina, an Italian
laborcr, of bridgeport, Conn.
Fernina was visiting his brother,
Thomas. who keeps "A saloon at 70 Col
gate street. About o'clock last evening
lIetrcz entered the saloon. Thomas, the
proprietor. demanded 49, which he said
Betrpz owed him. This led to angry
words and Betrcz left the place.
About II quarter of an hour later
Joseph Fcrnina went into the rear yard,
where he was confronted by Betrez who
fired two shots at him. The second shot
took effect and Joseph fell to the ground.
Betrez then fled. followed by several
inmates of the house, but he succeeded
in making his escape in the direction Of
BnVOnrp.
The wounded man was carried into the
saloon. here he was attended by Dr.
Bauman. who, considering the injury to
he of fatal character, ordered him sent
to the City Hospital
When Bctrez was taken into custody
this morning he was evidently making
his way to New York. He was fully
iIcntinei by Fcrnina as the man who
did the shooting. 1t Is supposed that he
mistook Joseph for his brother Thomas.
At the hospital this morning it was
stated that the bullet took effect on the
left side of the abdomen, passed through
body to the right and lodged somewhere
over the kidnsrs. The injury will UNI
doubtedly terminate fatally.
Betrez, was held without bail to await
the result.
