These preparations concluded we fol-

opposite side of the court, with dong.
low table down the middle We seated
ourselves. round il on cushions, and
each took possession of a fiat piece OF
scone, which supplied the place of a
plate during the meal-those articles not
being considered a necessary luxury. In
the center of the table stood a large
bowl fun Of white soup from which
everybody ate, taking as many spoon
fuls as they chose from the common tu-
reen with long-handled wooden ladies
provided for each guest When this was
removed, a large piece OF meat boiled
TO rags took its place, and was speedily
diminished under the violent treatment
it received from us ALL each one pulling
a lump of meat from the joint with the
fingers, and eating il off her own fiat
scone. We then had a curry of veg
etabies followed by the zagazig pudding
fruit and rice, called so from a native
of that village having brought the re-
cipe TO the harem. Our meal was con-
cluded by coffee, made in a corner of
the room, over red-hot charcoal, in a
copper pot, and poured thick into smah
glasses fitted In gold figree cups
When We had washed our hands in the
basin handed round for that purpose ev-
erybody went to bed-some to the roof,
others to the court, garden or house. 1t
was a very hot night, with a glorious full
moon, and we asked to have our beds plac-
ed outside a a short distance from the
harcm buildings the stones Of which
seemed never to cool day or night. There
was such a luxurance of growth around ;
the very shadows were weighted with
fruit and looked, i'm their immovable

We stretched ourselves on the wicker
beds resolved to close our eyes TO these
fascinating distractions, but were assaiI-
ed by a whirl of midges, gnats, mosque
toes-goodness knows what--that attacked
from below, above, in every conceivable
direction, and angriiy drove us to the
house. We climbed TO the roof of the
building to other wicker beds, but the
countless millions of ants creeping over
the stonowork. round the wicked beds, up
their legs and ours, without respect or
person, reduced us to a state of mind bor-
dering on distraction, and forced US to
descend TO the house and the common
place expedent of sleeping in room.
The chamber which they kindly put at our
disposal was a large ROOM and we SLEPT
till Lily in the Desert came to rouse US
with the words, There Is no God but
one God, and prayer Is better than sleep"

Defense Impeached the Character of
detective conn.


Atlanta, Ga, Oct. lS-The defense turn
ed the tables in the Slaughter Investigation
triad tonight, and things look decidedly
more hopeful for the chief of the detec-
lives now than they did last night after
Detective Green Conns evidence of al
legged crooked transactions between him
and Capt. Slaughter.
Detective Dave Looney created a sensa-
ton when he declared that he had done
work for the Southern Railway, Propr etor
Deceive of the Grand Opera House and
others in civil cases, all during the time
receiving pay from the city. and that this
work was done by order of Chairman Pat
terson OF the police board.
This created a strong impression in favor
of Capt. Slaughter, because of the fact
that when the attention of the board was
first called 10 Slaughter's misdoinSs by
Chairman Patterson, one of the main
charges was that he allowed his men TO
work for private parties when they were
on the payroll and were paid by the city.
and the opinion was freely expressed that
Slaughter should not be cenSured for doing
what Chairman Patterson permitted 10 be
done.
Capt. Slaughter explained in his state
ment that il was the custom never to
only non-residents, and then only for the
actual expense incurred. Every other
member Of the detective force minimized
Conns wholesale charges by tesufYing to
Slaughter's good character aud that he
had never during his connection with the
detective force made any improper pro-
posal to share in any funds COMING
through their hands and that within the
scope of their knowledge he never misap-
piled one cent of the city's or any one
else's money or that he had even divided
any money with them received for eX-
penSeS.
The defense also introduced several wit
nesses to impeach Conn. who swore to his
general bad characte and that they would
not believe him on oath.
OWNS 10 the sudden Illness of one OF
the prosecuting attorneys, the invesdga-
ton was continued till tomorrow nigh,.

Mr. Parks is in charge of the department
of sciences in the High School He has
had the best training in English that can
be secured in this country, having gone
through Two or three of the best known in
situations of learning. He began his col
lege career at Emory, where he was grad
uated with first honor. From there he
went to Harvard, where, also, he received
distinguished mention. His first position
as an educator was at Wesleyan Female
College. That he resigned TO accept his
present position in the High School.
Mr.. Parks ma me has been mentioned by
his friends for some time in connection
With the succession to the chair of Eng
lish at the university. Rev. Ed F. Cook,
pastor of the Wesley Monumental Church.
and several others in Savannah and this
section have been active in his behalf and
they are all sanguine of his success. They
believe he would make an excellent man
for the position, and there could be no
question of his popularity among the stu
dents, should he be elected. His person
atty is such as to assure that.
The elevation of Mr.. Parks to the high
position of professor of English at the
university would be both welcomed and
regretted by his many friends in Savan-
nah They would be elated al the reeog-
milton of his merit, though having him
leave this city would be a source of re
