Berlin. Sept. 9-The SITUATION in inter-

TOWN AND COUNTRY.

The steady movement of the people OF
the United States from the farms to the
cities has been repeatedly remarked on.
1T is seen in it the rapid growth of the
population Of towns and cities, and is one
of the most striking characteristics of
modern life.
Many reasons have been offered to ac-
count for this movement. The enormous
and constantly growing use of machinery
in farming is one of them. Another is
the realization by country people, through
reading and the readiness of
cation by the multiplication of railroads,
that life in the country is cherries and
lonely compared to that OF the city. The
crowd of people on the streets, the gay
shop windows, the passing vehicles, the
movement and hustle OF the city, are
wonderfully arousing and exciting to one
accustomed to me comparative dizziness
and mOnotony of countr life, and aLexapt
to stir UP in the bosom of the VISITOR a
strong desire to enjoy all the delights
that the city seems to offer the superb
cial but charmed observation of the coun-
try boy or girl making a first visit to
town.
Then there is the mistaken notion that
it is far easier to make a fortune in the
city than on the farm. Everybody hears
of the occasional farmers boy Who be-
anne a great lawyer or millionaire mer-
chant, but who ever hears of the thou
sands who spend their lives in toiling
under the most discouraging circum-
stances, or Of the girls who find only
misery and ruin in the city?
! 1t is true, however, that the country
boy and particularly one brought up in
a country store, often makes his way to
success and prosperity. He is often in
dustrious and has some acquaintance
with practical business. The boy from
,the country general store has some infor-
nation as to various sorts Of merchandise
and he also understands the manner of
country buyers, and he is often, through
the possession of these advantages, able
to make his way in city business. A
man who has learned his trade in a viii
lage foundry or blacksmith shop has a
knowledge of all branches of the BUSH
ness, whereas, if he had been brought UP
in a city establishment, he would have
lonly learned sp%ecialties.
Such are some of the reasons why
1country boys who are honest and indus
trious have succeeded in cities. But the
fact remains that they are the excep-
tiors. No failure seems to check the
movement of the people from the farms
to the cities, and the fact is cited that few
or none ever emigrate from cities tc
country places. The gregarious instinct
is strong in human beings. They love
to gather in crowds and communities
They assemble in number for all pur-
poses of rejoicing and of mourning
Whether pleasure or politics, public bust
view, they all never fail to bring together
Ithrongs of people. This sort of tendency
to herd together is one of the chief causes
why the cities are constantly growing at
the expense of the farming DISTRICTS

eff DoOlrooms We're run now as they
were 80 years ago the bank rolls would
not last long enough to talk about it"
said an old-time follower Of the races
the other day.
I'm those days" he continued, there
was no such thing as the dope and you
would have to wait three days before you
could find out the name of the jockey who
rode the horse you had bet on. No
weights on Jockeys were given in the
pcoIroom reports. The names of the
horses were posted on the board with the
Ir.ce quoted opposite the name. The
rooms had no special wires as they do
now and all information wa carried to
the room by messenger boys. What l
started to tell you was the first time l
ever heard of first past the post. 1t
was worked in a very clever manner for
several weeks. The only room in Gin
cinnati in those days was run by Doc
Hickey, on Vine street, opposite the Ar
cade. When the betting came in a reg
u!ar message was made out and given to
a messenger to carry to Hickey's, at the
telegraph office on the corner nearly OPP
posite the room. The result n every
thing else was carried by messenger.
Several of the telegraph operators plan-
ned to beat one race a day. A race III
which there were five or six starters was
pjcked out. Each horse was given a
number and the conspirators worked
from the operating room. one man was
,nlanted in front of the poolroom and he
was to be ~signaled from the window, but
how to do it without attracting attention
puzzled the operators. 1t happened that
the ink bottles Were always kept on the
window sill, and it was decided to use
them as a means of signaling. SIX potties
Vere placed on the sill, and If Horse No.
5 won the operator would step to
the window and take up one bot
tie. which left five, and the man
with money would step in and bet
on Horse No. 5. If three was a winner
three bottles were taken away. The man
had plenty of time to place the wager.
Everything went we'll for a long time. but
one Of the boys told the good thing to a
friend and he told somebody else, and the
result was that in a few days a wire was
run into the room and the hrst past the
post was over

dog overheard and asked the sentry if he
knew what was the penalty of disobey-
ing orders. When he said this the sem
try pitched the dog overheard away from
that part of the deck, but the men groan-
ed as he did so. After that they had it
in for him, good and strong, and 1 heard
a number of them say that they would
fix him when they got him to the Philip
pines. Some Of them said that they
would shoot him.. guess he was shot by
some of the men all right"
First Assistant Engineer John Dill
bears out the story fully. Several MEM

heard of the incident of the dog, and all
say that the members of the regiment

means. Up to the present time this por-
ton of the Arabian desert is practically
UNEMPLOYED and Mr.. Streeter expects to
make some important discoveries during
the next five years. In February he will
visit Iebara. where he discovered the
ruins of the Roman barracks more than
twenty years. ago.
To archeologists this discovery was a
most interesting one, as there are few
ruins in that part OF The country that
are as Well preserved. In their day these
barracks We're able to accommodate 10000
men and even today those who visit the
spot are able to obtain an excellent idea
of the ancient Roman architecture. Time
has entirely demolished the roof, it is
true, but in other respects the ruins, as
Well as those of the Roman oven and the
various temples are in a wonderfully fine
state of preservation.
1t is remarkable, however, when one
remembers that when the Roman SOL

Were within a short distance of the vast
mines for which the authorities had been
searching so diligently. They had known
that the mines existed and that they
had been one great source of wealth to
Cleopatra as we'll as to the rulers that
had preceded her upon the Egyptian
throne. The disappearance OF these
mines must have been most mysterious
to them and the fact hat they had

mines adds a touch of man to the
story that is scarcely credible.
In addition to the large quantity of
emeralds that Mr.. Streeter expects to
mine. he believes hat he shall find some
rare specimens of beryl and other pre-
cious stones. so that he is perfectly con-
fident that he will have NJ reason to re-
greet the hard bargain that the govern
ment has driven, with him.
AT the present time there are emerald
mines in various parts of the world, but
the richest are those of Columbia. If
history is correct, however, even these
mines are small when compared to the

fair Cleopatra obtained the rare gems and

MANNER OF MAJOR LOGAN'S
DEATH. {

San Francisco, Cor. New York Sun: Ac-
cordlng to statements by various officers
and members of the crew of the United
states transport Sheridan, there is ground
for suspicion that the death of Major
John A. Logan in the Philippines was
caused by a member of his own regiment
and not by the Filipinos as was report
ed. There is no doubt that he was UNI
popular. The men of his command We're
very decided in their expressions of dis
like toward him. Several officers iWere
seen to-day who said they had heard men
of the T~hirty-third infantry threaten to
settle with Logan as soon as he arrived in
the Philippines.
While Logan had never been a favorite
with the men of his regiment the feel
ing of anger against him was not
aroused to the danger point until after
the vessel left Honolulu for Manila. 1t
arose over the alleged drowning of a dog
which was the mascot of Company A Of
the regiment. According to the state
ments of several OF the ships officers and
crew, Logan had a big brindle bulldog
and one day it attacked the mascot of
Company A. This dog was highly priz-
ed, as he had been all through the Span
ish-American war with the regiment and
had been dubbed San Antoine Sam" The

A Search For C|cQDaha'S Mines
"A LONDON DEALER IN DMERALDs HAS FITTED OUT AN EXPEDITION
TO SEARCH FOR THE GREEN GEMS THAT WE'RE LOST TO THE
WORLD WHEN THE MINES DISAPPEARED.

Somewhere in Egypt are the richest
emerald mines in the world. When the
fascinating Cleopatra was queen these
mines were a part of her possessions and
She kept a number of slaves constantly
engaged in working them. Day by day,
urged on by the lash of the task master,
the slaves sought for these rare gems
was sent to the queen. This is a matter
of history. So. too, is the fact that the
beautiful Cleopatra had so many of these
gems that she was in the habit of bestOW.
ing them upon those to whom she desired
to show her favor.
When Cleopatra died the location OF
these mines was forgotten. Fol years
mines of gold, emeralds and other pre-
cious stones had been in operation and
vet they disappeared as mysteriously as
they had been rum. Whether or not the
secret of their location had been a state
secret that was to be kept from the
Roman conCuerors at all hazards is a
matter that will probably never be
known. but the fact remains that the
Romans did not discover the mines and
that before the Egyptians had another
opportunity to operate them they had
forgotten where they were. For nearly
two thousand years the immense wealth
On these mines has remained unclaimed.
More than five hundred years ago an
effort was made to locate these proper
ties but without success and at last the
) mines of Cleopatra came to be regarded
as Z. fable that had no foundation in
reality.
A few days ago. however, a small but
perfectly equipped expedition left Lon
don for the purpose of opening up the
mines of Cleopatra. The man who is
at the head of this remarkable expedi-
ton is Edwin Streeter. a diamond mer-

eminent. For nearly a quarter of a GEN.
tury he has known where these mines, so
rich in precious stones. We're located, but
he has been unsuccessful in securing the
grant that would enable him 70 operate
them.
Once during this long period of wait
ing it almost seemed as if the treasure
was within his grasp. He had laid the
matter before Nubar Pasha and he was
so favorably impressed by the scheme
that he promised Mr.. Streeter a COM
pany Of sold .ers to guard the property
but he died, and as the new govern
ment was not friendly to the idea, an
other failure vas scored.
About a year ago Mr.. Streeter made
another effort to secure his grant of land
from the authorities and finally, much
to his surprise he was successful. His
concession gives him the right to carry
on his mining operations within an area
of about $40 square miles on condition
that the government be taken into part
nership in the scheme and that, at the
end of five years. he shall withdraw from
the company entirely. Hard as these
conditions We're Mr.. S%treeter was very
glad to accept them as he expects to be
able to mine a vast quantity of the gems
during the years in which his concession
is in force.
The land where these unique mining
operations will be pursued lies in the
center of a vast mineralfie Id formed by
a depression in a long range of noun
tains which rum all along the Red Sea
coast. In this territory there are at least
two mines that will be worked. One is
about 140 miles from E6fu on the Nile
and the other is about 1870 miles overland
from the same point. To reach either OF
these mines it Will be necessary to travel

mascot's good luck stuck to him. for he
succeeded in Whipping Logan's dog.
The fight is said to have occurred on the
forward part of the upper deck in the
presence of a large croWd of soldiers II
sailors.
SO incensed did Major Logan become
that he ordered a sentry to throw Sam
overheard n the order was executed.
From that time the animosity which had
been felt toward Major Logan, whose
manner was thought by some to have
been overbearing, grew into the bitterest
resentment. Friends of Logan assert
positively that no such incident occurred.
1t vas made out of whole cloth, they
assert, and was nothing but an idle yarn
of a crowd of men,. This contention is
not corroborated by the statements of the
ships plumber, the first assistant engi-
neer or the quartermasters.
II saw that occurrence myself declnr-
ed Quartermaster Comerick. "Logan's
dog jumped on the other dog and got
licked. That made Logan so mac that
he turned to a sentry and ordered him to
throw the company's dog overheard. The
sentry did it and the men in -.le regiment
became angry over the affair. Zone of
the captains told Logan Ia ahe was
a dirty cur, and one of the other officers
called him a coward. Both of these, Off
GERS were arrested by Logan. The SOL
diers were sore as could be after tina and
they declared that they would fix him as
soon as they got him out on the firing
line. SO bitter was the feeling against
Logan that the men did not make much
attempt to conceal their sentiments, and
talked quietly abou getting event. Mo-
body liked him and the men used to sit
on the deck after that and talk about
him and what he had DONE
Ships Plumber Pearshall is another
who says he witnessed the attack upon
the dog. THE truth of the matter is
he said. that Logan's dog tackled the
other one and got licked. and 1t made
Logan mad. After his dog got licked he
turned to the sentry and said: Throw
that black dog overheard meaning the
mascot of Company A.. There was a big
crowd of men standing around and the
sentry did not want to do it at first.
Logan ordered him again to throw the
