that fell within eight inches of the floor.
The young men were in pleasing state of
anticipatory delight when Charles B..
Wright appeared before the curtain.
''Several young ladies" said Mr.. Wright,
twill take turns in standing behind the
curtain. You may bid to take to supper
the lady whose feet most strongly appeal
to your sense of the beautiful. The highest
bidder will have the honor and happiness
of escorting the lady to supper and at the
same time of contributing to the fund we
are trying to raise.
Loud applause greeted this announce
ment. The audience eagerly bent forward.
In moment pair of little feet appeared
under the hem of the curtain, shapely feet
with pink toes. There was accorded, too,

embroidery.

The bidding languiShed then and the
young woman retired from the certain to
appear before it in little while, presun-
able with her shoes and stockings on But
of course no one could be certain of that.
Nor could the highest bidder be absolutely
sure that the young woman who presented
herself as his companion at supper was the
Trilby who stood hidden behind the cur
tain. That charming uncertainty, how
ever, added Hest to the fun.

PRETTY FEET AT AUCTION.

wick Girls Display Their Tribes.

The New York World gives the follow
ing description of church entertainment:
The young women of the Olive Branch
Society of st. Johns Episcopal Church, of
Tuesday night The entertainment, for
the benefit OF the church, took place in the
chapel on George street. The chapel was
crowded, and for once in the history of en-
tertainments the front seats were filled by
young men.
Across the platform a curtain was hung

one lovely pair of feet succeeded ar
other. The church fund was rapidly en-
riched, the young men in the audience
were nearer and nearer bankruptcy. Then
came pair of feet whose instcps an Anda-
lllsian maid might envy.
"Ten dollars to start with ~ shouted
youth who seemed more enthusiastic than
should he one who simply opens his hands
and purse to charity.
"Twelve :" from corner of the second
row of seats.
'Fifteen - from the first bidder, who
turning to his competitor, exclaimed,
"There's no use for you to bid against me.
That young lady will take supper with me
if | bid all night and have to sup at break
fast time"
The curtain was thick and his friends
thought the excitable young man was bluff
iing-if the word can be used of church
entertainment.
"Oh, you can't recognize two feet they
laughngly shouted.
Cant eh?" retorted the youth 81
hathed with that young lady at Atlantic
City last summer.
There was not another bid. But one girl
after another, the prettest and most shapely
of the congregation, stood behind the cur
tain until each youth had partner to sup

But Wednesday some of the older women
of the congregation were rather inclined to
criticise the Trilhy social. The younger
ones did not mind it.

deaths occurred in the cities where
the great stone and brick walls OF the
buildings absorbed the heat, making
the streets as hot in the night as in
the day.
In looking around for a scheme of
relief the policy of the King of Siam
might be adopted with numerous modi-
fications, and certain theatrical men
of the metropolis are already talking
of the feasibility OF introducing his
scheme here. Philanthropy plays no
part in the motive Of these gentlemen,
it is simply a question whether the
plan wiuld be paying one. AS yet
everything is merely talk, but it may
be that the summer of 81 VIII see some
unique schemes ahoat i'm the larger
cities of the country.
No one has ever accused the King
of Siam of being an inventive genius.
He is mainly noted for the number of
his wives, the latest statistics ait hand
placing the total at $50, and he is a
comparatively young man as yet, and
this number will. in all probability be
largely increased as he grows older.
This gentleman is but forty-three years
old, but he has been ON the throne for
twenty eight years, and during each
one of those years he has managed to
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-09-27

spend $4,000, 900, mostly for pleasure.
He has more than 300 titles, and each
one of them is longer than the names
OF half a dozen of ordinary American
citizens. He is known officially as Chu-
lalongkoon I, but that is only one
tenth of his real name.
Two years ago King Chulalongkoon
put l 600 men at work to build him
submarine house of steel, glass and
wood. There is a beautiful lake near
his summer home and he planned to
anchor his glass and steel house on
the bottom of the lake, and there rest
secure from the heat of the day. His
scheme was carried out successfully
and if it had ended otherwise every one
of the 1000 workInen would probably
have lost their respective heads Me-
chanical experts are not plentiful ian
Siam, and it seems if cooling struc-
ture of this kind could be built there
should be no difficulty in improving ON
it in this country.
That part of the lake in which the
king goes down in his submarine palace
is twenty-five feet deep. The struc-
ture itself is tilirty-tiye feet high and
ten feet of the dome on the top pro-
jects above the waters surface. A
ventilhting arrangement in the dome
allows d fine current of air TO flow into
the apartments beneath the water.
The house is square in shape, the
apartment of the king being twenty
feet in width and length and fifteen
feet III height. The four sides are OF

leo. The dealer marches her around
in the ring of open space while the
bidders raise one another. When there
is no possibility of getting a higher bid
the girl is handed to the purchaser the
money is paid over and the next slave
is brought out, to go through precisely
the same performance. AS the auctions
take place every few days, there are
not many slaves put up at one sale.
Twelve or fifteen is the average num-
Der, but in some cases, where an ex-
ceptionally fruitful raid has been made,
the number runs as high as fifty or
sixty.
Abdul Azziz, the young sultan, who
looks ten years older than he really is,
encourages the slave traffic, but he is
very jealous of the details concerning
it reaching European ears. For this
reason nearly all of the sales take
place in the towns rarely visited by
foreigners, but should any of the latter
appear at a sale it is at once post
pOned.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The terrific

country this summer. laying low nun
dreds OF victims, have led many people
to ask why some inventive genius does
not take hold of the problem and evolve
some scheme which will successfully
battle with the torrid pranlks of ma
ture. There are numerous recipes al
ways on tap for keeping cool in {he
summer time, but, unfortunately, when
amy of these are put to a, severe test
they are found wanting. If everyone
could go TO the mountains, or the sea
shore the problem would be easy

in the evening, for the purpose of con-
cealing in the dim light any Imperfect
tons which the unfortunates may
possess. During the sale the slaves are
kept together in one of the recesses of
the arcade. They are always sur
rounded by a group Of men-prospec-
tive buyers-who look them over as a
woman inspects household furniture at
an auction sale.
The average age Of the slave girls is
about Il years, but the raiders do not
scruple to steal children who would
almost be considered babies in other
countries. The dealers, who in most
cases are prosperous, fine-looking
men, watch over their victims carefully
until they are sold, feeding them gem
erously and trying to make them con-
tented so that they will present an
agreeable appearance when placed be-
fore the bidders.
THE SALE A SIMPLE AFFAIR.
The slaves are led out separately by
the dealer who cries out their many
advantages in Arabic. The usual dress
of the slave is single garment of cal

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-Those persons
who take q philanthropic interest in
the affairs or other nations are deeply
excited just now Of the tales brought
here from Morocco by Englishmen who
have been travelling about the domain
Of the young sultan, Abdul Azziz. 1t
seems that slave dealers are more ac-
Eve among the Moors now than for
many years past, and some attribute
zhe increase to the traffic and disturb
ances in the Soudan. where the Anglo
Egyptian troops are now waging war
against the Mahdists
Nearly all Of the slaves sold in Nor
COCO are stolen from the tribes which
infest the Soudan, and Of these slaves
30 per cent are young girls ranging
81 age from eight years to twenty-five
years The explanation of this is that
the men of the tribes are away fighting
under the banner of the Mahdi, leav-
ing their women unprotected against
the raids Of the slave dealers.
The latter, from all accounts, are

as a means Of effectually squelching
all ambitions they might have to reign
in his stead. Five hundred years ago
one of the sultans Of Turkey discovered
that the Koran permitted the killing
of all male relatives of royalty, to-
gether with their harems and the
progeny Of the harems, and the young
sultan Of Morocco has taken full adj
vantage of this precedent.
This young sultan has a greater
number of wives than any other of the
oriental potentates. The sultan Of
Turkey is credited with 1000. but the
sultan of Morocco is said to have 1,2O0.
When any of the slave dealers capture
an exceptionally handsome girl she is
at once sent TO the imperial palace,
and if She is deemed fitting for place
in the harem the reconpense of the
SLAYER is large. All Of the courtiers
and royal parasites attempt to initiate
the sultan in the size OF their harems,
and the merchants initiate the court
iers. The ceaseless raids in the Sou
dan more than meet the demand, which
is now larger than at any time in the
history of the ancient country

heavy glass, through which he can see
for many yards on all sides into the
clear waters Of the lake. This apart
ment is richly furnished. There are
three large plates of glass ON each side,
the plates Being fastened to slender
rods of steel. The floor is of inlaid
wood and all the framework above and
below is OF steel.
Beneath the kings room is an apart
ment for the men to manipulate the
strange craft. There is a. small engine
in the dome and this supplies the pow
er to force out tine water from the
tanks in the hold when the king wishes
to come to the surface. The arrange
ment for sinking the house is very sim
pie. Water is allowed to flow into the
large tanks and the house settles slowly
until it touches the bottom.

The slave market of Fez is one of
the most important in the kingdom of
Morocco. It is situated in the center Of
the city, baing nothing more than a
large open square surrounded by

India, whose palace at Agara is about
the most gorgeous structure the world
over, has submarine house built on
much the same plan as that Of Siam
king. II is the largest and the air is
pumped into the living apartments
through large pipes connecting with
vessels anchored above. This is not
regarded as safe as the method pur-
sued by the King of Siam, where con-
