most painful and surprising thing General
Wallace saw at the Sultan's court was
the abject fear of the brave Pashas,
sweating and trembling during their
brief audiences before him. And still,
the lecturer went on to say, that
Abdul Hamed has the rare tact of setting
people perfectly at their ease. He meets
the stranger just within his door, offers
his hand, invites him to a seat and tenders
with his own hand the dish of cigarettes.

"She comes of mixture Of races, but if

Mrs. Teller made this statement about
her young daughter yesterday with the
placid air of woman who is firmly con-

TO BUILD CITIES.
Professor Marx Tells How
To Do 1t.
The Streets and Other Public Works
of Rome Referred to as Ex-
cellent Models.

Z. ID. Marx, c. T., instructor of engin-
eering at the Leland Stanford Jr. Uni
versity, lectured before a large audience
last evening at the Mechanics Institute
upon the subject of Municipal Engineer
Ing"
Mr.. Marx chose as an illustration the
city of Rome in order 10 demonstrate the
evolution of the science ana the benefit
accrued by its development. He told of
the unpaved and filthy condition of the
streets Of the ancient city, surrounded on
three sides by poisonous marshes, without
any system or drainage, and of the thouS-
sands of human beings who were yearly
carried away by the dreaded malaria.
The first systematic works for the drain
age of the town, however, were not erected
until during the reign OF TaTquinus Pris-
Gus, who Is given the credit of having in
trOduced the first system of sewerage
The speaker asserted that number of
these sewers have stood for more than
2000 years, and that one of them at least
is IN use even at the present time. He
remarked that no cavities back of the
arches full of empty cement barrels were
found, and, strange TO say, the bricks were
not plastered together with damp sand.
This period was followed by that of the
construction OF those wonderful master
pieces of engineering and architecture, the
Roman aqueducts, fourteen of which were
used in carrying the water supply to the
city. The speaker cited other more ur less
in tereSting features of early engineering
and construction.
Mr.. Marx then referred to the Roman
garbage crematories, the system of clean
ing the streets by night, and many other
municipal works, which have made the
Roman capital famous for its complete
government
In closing the speaker called upon his
listeners TO Individually lend a hand in
imprOvng the sanitary condition of this
city. and when this is put upon a firm basis
their attention could be turned toward
beGutlfyiug the streets and public parks
and strengthening the public institutions.

a large and appreciative audience
greeted the Hon. Gardiner G. Hubbard,
president of the National Geographical
Society of Washington, last evening at
UElon-square Hall. where he delivered an
interesting lecture on Japan, under the
auspices of the Geographical Society of the
Pacific.
The speaker. contrary to expectations,
referred but lightly to the differences be-
tween japan and China, touching princi-
pally upon the geographical trend of the
empire, and giving an historical sketch of
its people.
In referring to the Japanese army ne
said that 10000 soldiers composed the regu-
lar service, while three or possibly four
tines that number were in reserve to be
called upon in times OF war. Thirty-tive
steam warships composed the navy with
5000 officers and seamen to man them
He expressed his confidence in Japan's
victory in The present difficulty, and
propbesied great future for the Mikado's
land, which he believed would in wears to
come stand out among the countries of
the world as an equal to any. not only in
