A MOOR AT HIS PRAYERS.
The MOhammedan Style of Worship
Described by an Englishman.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.


While travelling through Algeria a few
years ago. said Charles l.. Berton, of
London. England, who was at the South
ern last night, Il was greatly interested
in watching the Mohammedan style OF
worship. One day l saw a Moor come into
the mosque. At the door he dropped his
slippers from his feet, picked them up in
his hand. walked over. the mating TO where
a fountain was playing, dropped his slip
pers, and, deftly thrusting his feet into
them, stepped into the water. He thSn
thoroughly washed his mouth, his eyes,
his ears, then his face and neck, then his
arms to the elbows, his hands, and lastly
his feet and legs to the knees. That was
done to typify the purifying of what he
said, saw and heard, his deeds and his
walks Then, emerging from the water, he
dropped his slippers from his feet and, go
ing to a distant corner Of the mosque,
stood facing Mecca, the holy city of the
Mohammedans. Standing there, he began
10 humble a prayer the words OF which
were inaudible where i stood, but / could
distinctly see the motions OF his mouth.
After a few moments he knSeied down,
still speaking, and, bending forward upon
his hands, laid his forehead upon the floor.
Afterward he raised his body and head
erect and then stood up as at first. This
routine was gone through with three times.

his position at regular intervals. After he
had finished his prayer he picked up his
slippers and came to the door, dropped
them on the threshold, again thrust his feet
into them and walked away

MIS-. vanderbilt's bed.
New York Advertiser

The latest design for a bed is that which
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has in her sleep
ing room in the new palace on Fifth ave-
nue.. 1t is distinctly novel. There Is a dais
raised five or six inches from the floor.
This is padded thick till II is almost like a
pillow. On this stands a frame which has
neither head nor foot board. 1t most re-
the dais makes a platform wide enough TO
walk upon. This divan bed has a superb
day dressing of yellow satin that is
trimmed with fringe and just touches the
dais, while Ii fits smoothly over the level
of the bed. 1t is caught In a knot at each
corner. 1t has a magnificent band of en-
broidery around 1t on the portion that
covers the fiat top. High up on the wall
is a magnificent carved lambrequin-iike
frame. from which are draped exquisite
brocaded yellow silk hansfngs that are
not at all full, and are SO short on the side
that no air Is shut out from the occupants.
This is very regal in effect. and half a
dozen other New York women who can
afford to change the style Of the bedstead
as often as the shape OF their hats have
adopted the same idea of no head or foot
board.

How She Said Yes.

A Lancashire lady has been relating a
rather pretty story about a factory girls
way Of answering a marriage proposal made
or read writing, and one day, says the
lady, she brought a letter to me to read 1t
for her. II contained an offer OF marriage.
l happened to know that the writer was
a deserving young artisan, SO I said to her.:
Now, you must consider this matter very
seriously, and If you like to come TO me
when you have made up your mind i will
write a reply for you" A day or two after
ward I met the girl again. and asked her If
she wanted me to answer the letter for
looking radiant and pleased. 1--WE settled
it; I answered it myself" why. how did
you do it?" L asked. And then she told me
that she could make a capital 81" and
that she stuck On the paper a piece of
wool after II. for "wulp'-'I WOOL" Surely,
one of the quaintest acceptances of an offer
of marriage ever penned.

CHICAGO, May 6.-The annual run Of
the Associated Cycling Clubs of Chicago
was held to-day over the North Shore
course. There were about one thousand
riders in line when the run commenced.
The course over which the run was taken
Is called the Chicago road race course, and
is the one On which the annual race which
takes place on Decoration Day each year
will be run this month.

statement can be made very soon. One
matter that has given the collectors a vast
amount of trouble has been the efforts OF
Chinese TO register more than once, and
II is not certain that these efforts have not
in many instances been successful. In
thickly populated sections where the col
lection districts cover comparatively small
areas, the scheme has undoubtedly been
worked TO a considerable extent. A China
man living in New York city would have
no particular difficulty in registering under
another name in any one or more OF the
neighboring districts. and as a photograph
OF one Chinese might readily pass Tor
that of another, the fraud is not easily de-
tected. The duplicate certificates are said
TO bring a good price among Chinese who
are not entitled to register and SO trade
in them is said to be more or less lively.
Under the law those who register more
than once can be prosecuted for perjury,
as can their witnesses. and IL is the inten-
ton of officials TO keep a sharp lookout
for such violations of the law, and IL caught
the offenders will be vigorously prosecuted:
1t is believed that these duplicates will
aggregate anywhere from $50 to 800 or even
more.

senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-There was a
very slim attendance of visitors in the
galleries when the senate met Tuesday.
Senator Hoar asked that all petitions
protesting against the qualification of
the Chinese treaty might be presented
in open session instead of in executive
session rs is customary, and his motion
being agreed to, Senators Lodge and
Gallinger presented several such pc
titions.
Senator Lodge offered a proposed
amendment to the pending tariff bill
for the imposition of retaliatory rates
of duty against Great Britain, provid-
ing that when not in contravention of
existing treaty, any article not admitted
free, if it is the manufacture of Great
Britain or any of its colonies, should
pay double the duty heretofore imposed
and if admitted free duty OF 30 per
cent be imposed, except on wool, which
should be admitted under the duties Of
act of 1890. and these retaliatory and
discriminating duties should remain in
force until Great Britain consented to
take part in an agreement with the
United States for the coinage and use
of silver aud when such agreement was
made the discriminating duties should
cease.
Senator Mitchell (Or.) sought to have
the Chinese treaty considered in open
session, but objection was made by Mr..
Sherman.
Senator Washburn (Minn) gave no.
tice that on next Monday at 1 o'clock
he would speak on the tariff question.
Senator Morgan (Ala.) asked leave of
absence until May 3, and then the sem
ate went into executive session at 1:50.
When the doors were reopened Sem
ator McLaurin (Miss.) made speech
supporting the tariff bill. Senator
Smith followed in an attack on the in
come tax. At the conclusion of his
speech the senate adjourned.
