MANILA'S STREET CARS.

Ons of the amusing features of the streets is the street car system. It is net horse car system, inasmuch as the cfrs are .tUgged along by a diInin- utive pony about the size O. q yearling heifer. It is always with great reluc- tancs that the driver stops the ear to take on a passenger, for the poor little pony. once the momentum is lost, with the greatest difficulty succeeds in get ting the car started again on its jour ney. and frequently this is only accom- plished by making g portion of the passengers disembark. And then, too, the track is so poorly constructed that the car frequently leaves the rail, and then there is more grievOus trouble for the poor littha pony, who must some how tug il back into position. The other day fcdr brawny United States soldiers took pa:y on the pony and sur- prised the car load Of Spaniards and natives who stood chattering alongside, by picking the car up bodily and drop ping it back cn the rails.

PORT SAID.
H Brief Survey of inc "WiCkedest
 pIace on Earth."

In Port Said itself there is little whatever to sec, except diverse forms of vice and wickedneSs It is probably the most thoroughly immoral and vic ious place on the face of the earth. But passengers are more or less bound to go ashore, for it is here that the steam- CTS take in coal. The ship is soon black with fine coal dust, and. a9 every pGr;hole and door Is closed below, the place is decidedly dirty and hot. and generally uncomfortable.
 The only amusement on land Is don key riding. There is an old Arab in Port Said who looks as though he were steeped in oil and soot, but who proud ly informs you: My name, sir? am John Fer-r-r-guscn of Glasgow-Of Glasgow, mind ye." He owns six don keys, of which he is extremely proud He is a cute individual and very smart at detecting at a glance the par ticular nationality of any person he sefs approaching. lie sees French man coming along, "Qui, oui, monsieur, tr res bon, tres bon, master want don key ride. My donkey tres bon donkey, go velly fast Which donkey master likee best? This one name Napoleon, this one Victor Hugo and this one Col oneeal Enterprise He persuades the
  onial Enterprise. which, by the way, are. remarkably feeble, and thsn turns to meet a German, saying: "Ai my don- keys name after Germany. Very gut country, Germany. Not same as dirty Frenchman. Master want a ride? This donkey Bismarck and that ons the En- peror William" If ,he traveller is an Italian he has Garibaldi, and if by dress and speech he recognizes the vis- itCr to be an Englishman he bows pro- foundly and requests that for shilling an hour you will be pleased to make Mfr. Gladstone, Queen Victoria or Mrs. Langtry trot around the square.
 The journey through the Suez canal is monotonous in the extreme, for the ship moves very slowly, and cn either side is wide eXpansa of sandy desert, whose fearful glare is trying to the eyes. The canal widens out at the Bit tsr Lakes, across whose northern end the Israelitish children made their mi raculous sSpaasage. Ite1 then nairoYs again, and preserves its uninterestins appearance right on to the end. The steamers stop in the Gulf Of SueZ for a few hours and take in malls, and sometimes few passengers, but no one goes ashore here, as the town of Suez is several miles distant.

- 70 .------ - PRAIRIE CAMPAIGNING.
Western Orators Got the Cold Shoulder Because Farmers Were to Busy

The campaign Of 1898 will be long remembered by many Of the western speakers because of the new features that have been q part of its history. The people of the plains are evidently changing Sheir nature, or there have been some peculiar clements in the contest that have never been present before. One thing that has surprised the campaign managers has been the indifference of the voters to the public meetings. Usually they have welcomed the coming of the orator into the school district or county seat with exceeding great joy. They have given him large audiences and have got out the local band to wheeze Hail, the Conquering Hero" fer his benefit. This year the experiences have been of the opposite variety There have been 'tfrosts' in abundance, and while they have fallen most freely upon the populists, there has occasionally been low temperature in the vicinity Of the ether side.
 There may be something more dis piriting than to tide fifteen miles on q cold autumn night, find the school house shut and deserted. make your own fire and light the lamps, then have the central committeeman and his two hired men constitute the audience. There may b4, but such a thing is nct

 WICK.

Because he broke his promise and voted for Van Wyck instead of Roose- welt. Mrs. Mary Fullerton went to the Butler street court, Brooklyn, today and demanded 3 warrant for her hus- bands arrest. She said he had been guilty of breach of trust There was fire in Ms. Fullerton's eye. She chok- ed almost sometimes when she told in detail how her husband had deceived" her
 James promised me-" said Mrs. Full lerton, that he would vote for Roose welt. He left home Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock The last words he said to me was: Mary. I'm going to vote for Roosevelt
 All day l thought about the ballot we had just put in for Teddy. l felt l had voted myself.
 "Thsn James returned. But at what hour? At 11:30 The first thing ha said to me was:
 Mary voted for Van Wyck' Im- agine thas. It's an election fraud. He is guilty of a breach of trust if any one ever was. I want a warrant Give me d warrant, quick"
 The clerk of the court told Mrs. Full lertCn he could not issue warrant on such grounds. She left iR q state Of mind.-F'rOm New York Dispa,ch.

A THEATER ON EACH TRAIN.
It Will be Just Large Enough Fer Vau-
 devillsi Performances and Concerts.

Several of the through trains run- ming out Of New York are soon to be equipped with luxurious vaudeville cars fitted tip with ali tha acces sories Of 1 regular thoatef. This staTtlin F innovation, which marks T naw era in the comforts Of railroad trav.l, will first be tried Cn the I-shieh Valley sys- tenn and the Nickel Plate railroad The first theatrical car will ba run Cn the Black Diancnd expr-ss Cn April l, 1899. One Of thcse cSr3 is being built for John F. Harley, well known theatrical manager, who will provide the entertainments. The various shows given will consist Of vaudeville performances and concerts, the stage being to small fer all but the simpler theatrical productions Contracts have already been signed with several rail- read companies, which make it possi- ble to give these performances, oharg- ing about the same prices as arc asked in thu regular thsaters. The novelty of going to the thcater while being WhirlGd across tha country day or night is expected tC appeal strc'gly to the ma jority cf travellers. The idol cf adapting the ordinary day coach in this way, was suggested to Mir. Harley by the custom of the Christian Endeay- or and other religious s2.eities of hold ing services while en route to their conventions. The theatrical car will be built With special attention F the problem of shutting cut as much nois9 as possible, and the stage will be pro vided with a powerful sounding board. New YorkDispatch.

 worse, as, for instance, the experience
 Of one of the state candidates on the Kansas republican ticket. He went l out in the country twenty miles to a picnic and found on his arrival that the populists had, with their usual zeal,
 slipped into the grove early in the morning and stolen the seats. His au- dience could sit on the ground through
 the damp hours of the address or go home. IL went hcme.
 One day in the carly part of the cam paisn Jerry Simpeon, who in the old ! ines could count on having an ahe voters within q radius of twenty miles 10 hear him when he spoke. came to a western Kansas town and was met at the depot by only the hack drivers. He rode iH solitary grandeur 10 the town. which by some mysterious dispensa- ton is in that section always about half a mile from the depot, and spent the day at the hotel, with few callers and with a growing sense of his own unimportance. Al evening he took republican friend and went to the school house. There were a janitor and two children. In vain he waited for the audience to come, and at last insisted that the republican friend lis ten to his address. This was refused. and the meeting broke up with disgust or the face of the orator. He asked q farmer the next day why he did not come. .Ill tell you was she reply. '"rhdr1 were fodr thrashing machines running yesterday within sight Of my house. Every man in the township was busy. We cannot afford to give ID our work fer politics There is difference this year from two years ago
 iI h inc n do, and we could take all the time we wished to go to the meetings. See the difference?"
 The only real glorious campaigning that the west ever saw was in 1890. The farmers alliance was in its glory and the religious fervor was shining in the eyes of the advocates of sub-trees- ury and land loans. All that was nee essary was to announce that there would bs a/meeting and the people would be on hand, plenty of ,hem. Every county seat had rally" Ii always included q picnic and a parade The parade was the strong poirt of the populists. or alliance men, as they :hen called themselves. The teams began coming to town before daylight. They were halted on the outskirts of the city and waited until all was ready. Ban ners were distributed reading: Vote ehe Republican Ticket and Get 25 cents for your Wheat and ridiculing the leaders os the local republican cam paign Every farmer who had two teams brought them and divided his family Then, with the music of band from the country which had never played together until that day, the procession moved. It was a gay parade, and the wagonloads of girls singing ''Good-by, Old Party, Good-by was only one picturesque feature Of it. The republicans stCod on the sidewalk and counted the people in line. When they had counted enough to carry the election they did not want to wait any longer, but they could not with grace get away.
 Many committee saw I majority of the voters of the county in the line. In one town the line kept stringing alonS until the count showed more men than were i'll the county, and then an inves- tfgation was made. It was found that
