Jamal, the Oriental Dragoman, will be-
come her guide, and Syrian woman is
there to enter Mrs. Terhune's service,
and they, with few native porters will
comprise the entire party. Mr. Louis
Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian
Herald, planned this unique journey and
pays the bills.
Mrs. Terhune is crossing Europe now by
rail to Brindisi, and on Nov. or there
abouts goes by boat to Jaffa, thence over
the only railway in all that region to
Jerusalem. Here the grand rabbi
through the courtesy of Hon. Selah Mer-
rill, our consul at Jerusalem, has agreed
to formally receive the American woman,
impart his blessing and give her letters
which are expected to prove a sort of
open sesame throughout the journey. At
Jerusalem Mrs. Terhune dons the oriental
dress, consisting of long loose robe, the

gladdens the heart, among all the black
ness and griminess of Chicago, is the

Some of the street costumes, too, are
very charming. A neat brown figure de-

costume was a round velvet collar Of

One Result of Incessant Din on the
Streets of the Gay Capital.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Have you ever noticed how sonorous
and high-pitched are the tones of voice
of the average Partisan? 1t is apparently
! impossible for them to modulate it, and
| even when they impart secrets to YOU
| they do so in a whisper so loud that. like
the sO-called stage whisper, it reaches the
ear not only of the person to whom the
confidence is addressed but also of hun
dreds of people besides. This is attribu-
table to the fact that Paris is probably
the noisiest city of the old world, and
that the people here are obliged to talk
and whisper in an exceptionally loud tone
in order to make themselves heard at all.
The noises are bewildering in their va
riety, and the din is unceasing. To begin
with, the omnibus traffic is very large, and
the Paris omnibus is something that
must be seen and heard in order to
appreciate its ponderous size and weight
It is very much as if one of the big New
York surface cars were placed on ordi-
nary wheels and provided with a double
row of seats on the roof, with a couple of
ample Staircases leading up thereto I'm

ways that are still the rule and not the
exception in Partisan streets Besides
the din made by these omnibuses and
their drivers, who seem to consider it alb
solutely necessary to crack their whips as
loudly as possible at least ten times in ev-
cry minute there are all kinds of other
atrocious noises to which the police have
hitherto affected to turn deaf ear.
From early morning until late at night
| the streets are paraded by itinerant
| noise-makers of every species of
trade, each of whom has his own particu-
lar cry, and it is not an uncommon thing
for dozen of these screaners to pass a
| given point in one hour, each yelling at
the top of his voice. There are the WIN
| dOw-menders, the umbrella thinkers. the
knife grinder with his bell, the chair
members with their shrill brass horns. the
beer and wine-tap vendors, who play an
exasperating, ear-piercing tune on an in
strument of their own invention fashioned
out of tap; there is the stentorian-
| voiced purchaser of old wine casks, who
intones the awful word "Tonneaux =, in
such manner as to render it audible for
half mile or more, and numerous other
cries of the same nature which it would
take too long 70 enumerate here. The
new project of police has determined. I
understand, to put a stop to all these trade
cries, except in cases where licenses have
been obtained and heavily paid for.

LUCY STONES MARRIAGE.
The Special Document Drawn Up, De-
filming Her Personal Rights.

From the Globe-Democrat.
Here is the protest drawn jointly by
Lucy Stone and H. B. Blackwell just be-
fore their marriage:
While acknowledging our mutual af-
lection by publicly assuming the rela-
tionship of husband and wife, yet, in
Justice to ourselves and great principle,
we deem it our duty to declare that this
act on our part implies no sanction Of nor
promise of, voluntary obedience to such
of the present laws of marriage as refuse
TO recognize the wife as an independent,
rational being, while they confer upon
the husband an injurious and unnatural
superiority, investing him with legal
powers which no honorable man would
exercise, and which no man should
possess. We protest especially against
the laws which give to the husband:
81. The custody of the wife's person.
-. The exclusive control and guardian
ship of their children.
20. The sole ownership of her personal
and use of her real estate, unless previ-
ously settled upon her or placed in the
hands of trustees.
"A. The absolute right to the product of
her industry.
IS. Also against laws which give to the
widOwer so much larger and more perma-
nent an interest in the property of his de-
ceased wife than they give to the widow
in that OF her deceased husband.
"6. Finally, against the whole system
by which the legal existence of the wife
is SUSPENDED during marriage, so that, in
most states, she neither has a legal part
in the choice of her residence or can she
make will, nor sue or be sued in her
own name, nor inherit property.
1--WE believe that personal independence
and equal human rights can never be for
feited, except for crime; that marriage
should be an equal and permanent part
nership, and so recognized by law; that
until it is so recognized married partners
should provide against the radical injus-
tice of present laws by every means in
their power.
I'VE believe that where domestic diff
ficultles arise no appeal should be made
to legal tribunals under existing laws,
but that all difficulties should be sub
mitted to the equitable adjustment of ar
bitratOrs mutually chosen.
Thus, reverencing law, we enter cur
protest against rules and customs which
are unworthy of the name, since they VIC
late justice, the essence of law.

From this time on Jamal, the Drago-

the lady's daily life, and, excepting only
Albert Payson Terhune, her son, the only
man she can feel at all safe with. This
man has been in the United States, and

ago. His wild adventures would, in the
platitudinous phrase, fill a book. He is

others who have visited his people.

tribes in Syria as far as Damascus and

After Damascus comes the trip to Bey-
rout. Here the native tribes have dubi-
ously distinguished themselves by treach-
erous murders of tourists and the infiu-
ence OF Jamal must again prove the par
tvs guaranty of safety. The robbers of
this region have a way of ambushing
voyagers, and to meet these, should any
come, Mrs. 1erhune has planned to famii-
iarize herself with all the weapons of the
country as she journeys. 1t is planned
that she will rise with the sun, don the
turban and yashmak, but varying the
oriental attire with a skirt reaching to
her knees. Then high boots and a
belt bristling with dirks and daggers are
to 1mpart fierce air to the domestic re-
former. She will indulge in pistol prac-
tlce each morning as her camel iolts
along and regularly the fair voyager and
her giant son win fight mimic combat

the proper way to receive the native brig
ands. 1t is further arranged that should

stance will consist in her failure to re-

present journey, but was captured with
his entire caravan by the Bedouins in
pass
a week. They held the distinguished di-
vine for long time until at last he was
ransomed. The experience nearly
cost him his life. If Marion Harland
should be attacked by the
tribes near Beyrout they will have to
fight for her. Rev Alfred Terhune, the
lady's husband, and pastor of a church
in Brooklyn, is quits sarc that his wife is
safe in the care of the strappinr
son. This young fellow is a physical
wonder, He can now stun cow with
blow of his fist. What he will be when
he reaches the age of twenty-one, two
years hence, no one can venture to say.
He is expert in all manner of sports, but
his appearance, apart from his great
hight, does not suggest the Hercuiedn
muscles he possesses.

means to return in a civilized manner,
dohing the oriental toggery, and visiting
such scenes of interest on her way home
as may seem worth the trouble. Should
no accidents happen and everything be
accomplished according to present plans
the lady and her son will be back in New
York by March of next year.

The Commonwealth has had neither

rence, trod ON our toes, and considering
