PLANTATION. The Arab is not womanish,
whatever his failings. In Egypt fancy
work is distinctively and logically
masculine.
'For what you do that?" asked a
Bedouin guide, as he squatted beside
an American woman who was sewing.
Il make sew; my wife work for me. -
The Bedouin meant that woman s
natural occupation is field work and
that it was the American woman's hus-
band who, freed by his wife's labor
from heavier cares, should be enabled
to spend in needlework his elegant
leisure. A Bedouin is lazy, but he is
not idle, like an American Indian.
He will not do heavy work if there is
woman to do it for him, but an easy
task like knitting be doesn't at all
mind.
The telegraph operator at Helouan,
Egypt, turns q pretty penny by his
cleverness this way. Helouan is
health resort in lower Egypt much
favored by invalids who are unable to
bear the voyage up the Nile. It is a
smallish village in an artificial oasis,
and the telegraph Office has little OF

tourists. The operator, tall, tur-

Remarkable Telegraphic Feat.

Geographic work done in connection
with the international chess contest

teen seconds to transmit the moves
between Washington and London.
During the two days Of the game not
a single telegraphic mistake was made,
and the overland and cable service was
without other than momentary inter.
ruption. The line ran from Washing
ton to Hearts Content, Nova Scotia,
over the Western Union system, thence
by the Western Union and Anglo
American Cable Company to Valencia,
Ireland; thence to the House of Parlia-
ment. Six operators were engaged in
the work, one at each end of the three
lines. When preparation was being
made for the match it was questioned
whether moves could be telegraphed
as rapidly as fifteen per. hour. The
service given demonstrated that there
might have been 100 moves an hour. SO
far as their transmission over the ocean
was concerned. OF course, abbrevia-
lions were used, and no time was lost

Florida's Profitable Pineapple Crop.


From the reports Of all those who
have shipped pineapples already this
season and have received returns for
them, we learn that the prices re-
celved have been very good so far.
by this we mean they have brought
from seven to eight cents apiece for
poorer quality Of common pines up to
ten, twelve and fifteen cents apiece
for good ones Of the common kind,
and in some cases even more than
that.
This is doing very we'll, and if the
rest OF the pines shipped this season
average anything like this in prices.
the growers will be perfectly satisfied,
for at such prices there is money in
raising them. Of course the fancy
pines that were shipped brought fancy
prices, in most cases selling all the
way from twenty-five cents to 81, and
IN some instances $3.50 apiece. This
year is the banner year as far as the
crop is concerned, and, from indica-
tons now, it bids fair to he the ban
ner year for prices and profits also.
There is surely good money in raising
pines, and our growers are finding it
out this year even if they never knew
it before.
The statistics Of the present crop
cannot be obtained in full until the
close OF the shipping season, but esti-
mates promise total of $50, 900 bar
refs, or 100000 standard crates

CLEARING 18TH STREET.
Movement Made Under the Commits
siOners' Plan,

Movement Made Under the Commits
siOners' Plan.
Women who conduct alleged disreputabIe
houses on 18th street between Pennsylvania
avenue and the mall were very much agi-
tated yesterday afternoon when Lieut..
Amiss called upon them and discussed the
question of their moving to the locality
west OF 18th street. This was the first move
made in the direction of getting these
houses off this wide thoroughfare.
Several days ago the women learned
through The Star that the Commissioners
had decided upon the change, but yesterday
was the first time they had received Of
fetal notification. While the lieutenant's
mission among the women was not to notify
them that they must vacate by a specified
time, 1t was limited that they would be ex-
pected to leave before the close of October.
Several times during the past few years the
matter has been discussed, but it is under
stood to be the intention of the Commits
SiOnerS now to make 18th street q thor
oughfare for general use by people in the
Agricultural Department and other public
buildings along the line of the mall, and to
insure those who frequent it against insults
along the way.
Lieut.. Amss found some few of the
women who thought they might move dur
ing the coming month, but others said they
could not Many of the denizens own the
houses in which they live and have them
extensively furnished, and they said to
transfer all their household effects in so
short a time will be impossible. Another
thing in their way Is the question of secur-
ing quarters in the area specified for them.
There are not enough houses in this area,
some Of them claim, and until others are
built they can do nothing but remain where
they are or move to other sections here
such houses are not tolerated.

JUDGE IxIMBALL A WITNESS.
Appears Before Judge Mills to Prose
cute viOlatOr of Law.

The feature of the proceedings today in
the Police Court was the appearance OF
Judge Kimball in the guise of a prosecuting
witness. If he continues his record, begun
last evening and today, the judge will be
clearly eligible for appointment to a posi-
ticn on the metropolitan police force. He
automatically induced an insane woman
who visited him last evening to accompany
him to a station house, as detailed in an
other column of The Star, and this morn
ing caused the arrest and conviction of a
colored man ON a charge of cruelty to ami
mails.
The business of the court today was unu-
sually heavy, equaling, if not exceeding,
that of yesterday. For several hours after
court opened the dock was crowded. it be-
ing impossible to accommodate half the
prisoners with places on the one lone benc h
which is provided. Becky Smith, after an
unusually long absence, was once more in
attendance, occupying the seatsof honor.
AS Judge Kimball was approaching the
Police Court building this morning his at
tention was attracted to team OF mules
Ell deayoring to draw q wagon, heavily load
ed, up the rather steep hill on 9Th street
near the court. The mules were having a
hard time of it, and the driver was flashing
them with a whip. The judge sent for a
policeman and the arrest OF the driver,
James Hopkins, followed.
When the case was called 1t was an
nounced that Judge Kimball was an i'm
portant witness. AT the time he was oc-
eupying the bench in the United States
branch CT the court.
Call Judge Kimball," directed Prosecu.-
ing Attorney Pugh-
Judge L G. Kimball." shouted a 5ailin
in stentorian torres.
The Judge ordered a suspension of BUSH
ness and proceeded downstairs.
Take the stand and be swcrn," said the
clerk. Judge Kimball obeyed.
Shall / tell my story in my own way or
answer questions?" he asked.
Make your statement in your own way,
replied Judge Mills, presiding over the Dis
trict branch of the court. his manner in
dicating that he had never before seen the
distinguished witness.
Judge Khnball told that the mules were
stalled when he saw them; that the driver
was endeavoring to see-saw them from one
side of the street to the other, and was
beating the animals with whip. The
wagon was heavily loaded, and there was
another man on the seat beside the driver.
II considered 1t an act of great cruelty
an outrage" concluded Judge Kimball, so
sent for an officer"
THAT will 90; step aside" quietly d.
rected Judge Mills.
Humane Officers Reiplinger and Rabbit
testified that they examined the mules. and
found big sores on their shoulders. The
animals also showed plainly the marks of
the whip.

Quate excuse and was sent to the work.

D1 NUNzIo,s PAST HISTORY.
Story Told the Inspector by Member
of Italian Colony.

of Italian Colony.
Inspector Mattingly received telegram
this afternoon from Detective Helan, who
left here yesterday to go to Connecticut
to get the Italian musician, Barredine Di
Nurzio. The latter is charged with felon-
iously assaultng Dora AK, the eight-year-
borer. Detective Helan said in the tele-
grs m that he had arrived at Southington,
where the Italian was captured, but had
afterward gone to Hartford.
1t is supposed his mission there Is to get
a warrant on which to hold the prisoner
until the bench warrant from here reaches
there.
A member of the local Italian colony
called on Inspector Mattlngly last evening
and related to him story about Di Nunzio
at a place called Carerta in Italy. Ac-
cording to this statement the musician
who Is now under arrest was living in
Carerta about Christmas 1891, when a
man named Stephen RELIC was murdered
by two men for his money. The man who
got the money escaped and was never cap
tured, while his accomplice, who was with
out funds. was arrested and held. Be
cause of the escape of the principal in the
crime the trial of the accomplice was de-
layed for two years, as it was the desire
Of the authorities to apprehend the fugitive
and have both Of them tried at one ;ime
When all hope of capturing the fugitive
was gone the man in custody was tried,
but interest in the case had died out, and
the prisoner got of with sentence of
fourteen years.
The man who escaped with the money
and was not captured, Inspector Mating
lys informant says, was Barredine Di
Nunzio, now under arrest in Connecticut.
