SPEAKER REED TELLS HIS SECRET
Ex-Speaker Reed has given away the
secret Of his ability to count a quorum
in the 51st Congress when so many of
the members were in the cloak-room.
He and Representative Sherman Hoar
were talking of the matter the other
day before the House began its session,
and Mr.. Hoar asked for an explana-
ton.
"Come here and 1 will show you,"
said Mr.. Reed. He led Mr.. Hoar up
into the Speakers place and showed
him how he could stand there and look
through door into the cloak-room on
the democratic side and could see
large mirror, which brought into view
nearly every square foot of space in the
room. ''It was useless, said Mr.. Reed,
for democrat to attempt to keep
from being counted and recorded as be-
ing present by going into the cloak.

he had remained on the aoor.n

THE GREAT sHEREEF OF WAzAN.-

THE GREAT SHEREEF OF WAzAN.-
The widow of Mulai Sid Hadj-Ebd-Es-
Salaam, the Great Shereef of Wazan,
who died few months ago, has been
notified that she will not be allowed to
succeed to the property left to her by
the Shereef unless she becomes a Mo
hammedan. The ex-Shereef refuses to
change her religious belief and interest
ing complications are looked for.
A remarkable romantic interest at
taches to the above. The late Shereef
of Wazan was the nearest descendant of
the Prophet, being the 33rd in the male
line from Ali, the nephew of Fatima,
the daughter of NIohammed. His au-
thoritv in the Mohammedan world was
absolute and he welded q power great
err than that of any Sultan. When he
went abroad the faithful Frustrated
themselves along his pathway, and
thought themselves honored could they
kiss his stirrups. He was over 60 years
of age at the time af his death and was
almost negro in color, his mother hav-
ing been a black woman. He was re-
garded as saint all over Islam, and es-
pecially in North Africa, though there
were not lacking numbers of dogs of
unbelievers" who did not hesitate to
say that he drank brandy and ate ofac-
cursed hog flesh.
In 1878 this holy man added to his
establishment an English wife, by
whom he had two sons, N1uley Ali and
Muley Ahmed, both of whom were ed
ucated in Algeria. From birth their Eng
lish mother dressed them like English
children, but when they came to mans
state they wore the garb of their own
people and followed the tenets of Mo-
hammedism. The Shereef of Wazan
has the appointment of his own sue
cessor, and it was thought at one time
that he would before his death appoint
Muley Ali to the Shereefship. He did
not do so, however, but appointed Mu
ley Ell Erbi, a son by an Arab wife,
thus avoiding the schism that certainly
would have followed the appointment
of half-English successor. The Eng
fish wife was always regarded with
jealousy and hate by the Mohamme-
dams of Wazan, but her husbands
power made an open display of an
tagonism to her very dangerous.
Upon his death, however, her enc
mics became more courageous, and il
is their influence that has caused the
Sultan to notify her that she must
change her religion or lose her prop
erty.

a bower of beauty and brilliancy.

to the corridors and picture gallery,
