a Cruel Prayer

The following is an exact translation
from the Arabic of the official prayer of
Islam, which is used throughout Turkey
and daily repeated in the Cairo "Azhar"
University by 10000 Mohammedan stu
dents from all lands:
= 81 seek refuge with Allah from Satan,
the accursed. In the name of Allah the
Compassionate, the Merciful! o Lord of
all Creatures! Allah! Destroy the inf
des and polytheists, thine enemies, the
enemies OF the religion! 0 Allah! Make
their children orphans, and detile the ir
abodes and cause their feet to slip, and
give them, and their families, and their
households, and their women and their
children, and their relatives by marriage,
and their brothers, ana their friends, and
their POSSESSIONS and their race, and
their wealth. and their lands, as booty to
the Moslems, o Lord of all Creatures"
In all the other, religions of even the
semi-civilized nations of the globe. says
the Philadelphia Record, commenting up
on this, there can be no prayer found to
parallel this cruel appeal of Islam to the
spirit of inhumanty. Bulgaria, Damas-
Gus, Lebanon} and Armenia may or may
not be mere hotbeds of anti-Turkish in
trige; with such a national prayer Tur-
key stands self-condemned before the
world

THE WHEE[MEN'S congress
Advancement of Cycling Is the
Main Topic
SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES
Many States Speaking for the Next
Convention Of Cyclers
An Amendment Barring CoIored Men From
the League VIII Bring Up Hard
fight--Other rlatters

New York, Feb. 17.-There was almost
as much lobbying, interviewing and but
tonholing in the parlors and corridors of
the Grand Union Hotel as might be wit
messed in any political gathering during
the busy hours preceding a convention
The lobbyists were the delegates to tb.
fourteenth annual meeting of the
League of American Wheelmen, which will
convene tomorrow morning. They have
some minor differences, but the advance
ment of cycling is their chief concern.
Between Massachusetts, and New Jersey
there is wide difference. Each wants
the next annual meeting of the l.. A. W.
and the representatives of these two East
ern states are striving by every way to Sc
cure it. Massachusetts is willing to con-
cede and give in anything and every
thing, swap and trade every advantage or
power which they may have for the privi-
lege of holding the next annual meet under
their auspices. New Jersey is anxious to do
as much and more If possible. Agents
from other states are not safe from the
arguments of hustling representatives
of Massachusetts and New Jersey. The
Massachusetts agents have photographs of
the principal points of interest in and
around Boston in their hotel parlors, and
the West and Southwest must stand, view
and admire. The New Jersey men are
deep in the photograph busines too. They
have thousand views of pretty spots in
their state, but their particular argument
that Asbury Park is within few miles of
New York. Asbury Park presents another
strong claim in the shape of a petition
signed by 200 well-known racing men,
ranking from a. A. Zimmerman down.
Some time ago it looked as if there might
be many candidates for the offices of the
league. Now, however, the result of the
election is regarded as foregone conclu-
sion. The friends of Archie C. Williston
of Cumberland, Md, say he cannot be
beaten for the presidency. A. Morgan
thaler of Ohio is the only candidate for
the treasurership in the field and George
o. Gideon of Philadelphia, it is believed,
will be the next chairman of the racing
board.
OF all the amendments to the constitu-
ton the most important that will be pro-
posed will be that of barring colored men
from the league. There are amendments
by the score, but none SO interesting as
this. The league has at least two days
hard work before it,
The delegates to the convention are
nearly all arrived, and are quartered
within easy range of the place of meeting.

DURRANT'S DEFENSE.

Not Sustained.


Not Sustained.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.--If Theo-
dore Durrant has anything tangible
upon which to base his denial Of the
charge that he murdered Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams, his attOr-
neys have failed 70 give satisfactory evil
dence of the fact. After two days de-
voted to the testimony of the defense,
the trial was adjourned at noon until
next Tuesday. In the meantime, how
ever, the defense has closed enough to
satisfy the prosecution that Durrant s
attorneys are cropping in the dark in the
hope that something may develop with
in the next few days to save the pris-
Oner's life. The weakness of the de-
fense is made more apparent at this
time on account Of the extravagant as
sertions that Durrant's attorneys have
uniformly made since the trial began.

MONEY IN STRONG DEMAND.
Trade Improving Where the Weather Is
Not Unreasonable.

Trade Improving Where the Weather Is
Not Unreasonable.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-Bradstreets
says: Striking features of the week are
increased demand for money East and
West, the maintenance Of the wide
spread and active demand for iron and
steel, and the further upward move
ment of the price of raw cotton, to-
gether with advances in quotations for
wheat, -four and wool. Sudden changes
in the weather, affecting wide ex-
panse of territory, have made general
trade irregular, but reports from those
sections unfavorably affected are in
part offset by the stimulation of demand
for certain staples in other portions of
the country.
General business at the South has
shown Improvement at Memphis, Nash
vile, Atlanta and Birmingham; de-
mand for funds there is improving, ard
all that appears needed is a freer
movement of cotton. GA the Pacific
coast Seattle continues 10 ship general
merchandise to
Central America and Alaska
freely, and Tacoma reports the whole
sale grocery business heavier there than
in 1894, with the Alaska trade improv-
ing. General business at San Francisco
is comparatively quiet. The canned
fruit output Of California will be abou;
equal to that last year.
The advance in the price of wheat on
reported damage to the crop in Argen-
tine may or may not be the beginning
of al upward movement, but accept /
statistics concerning the wheat supplies
in this country. if not discredited i'll tie
near future, may compel wheat prices %
follow in the footsteps of those for iroll.
Ielegrams 20 >Bradstreets from widelv
different points seem to indicate very
general intention on the part of grain
producers to hold their wheat for high
er prices. This refers to spring wheat
territory tributary to Minneapolis and
to the wheat country in Oregon.
