Slavery ia Mohammcdnn Lands.
From the Forum

Glimpses of Slavery in Mohammedan
lands are far from repellent. l once asked
a Turkish friend with whom l was walk
ing to point out to me some specimens
of slaves in the crowd on the streets. We
met a party of yelled Turkish women.
Walking behind them was a girl of 10,
plainly but comfortably dressed, and car
rylng a bundle wrapped in an embroidered
cloth. The bundle was SO large that the
slender little arms could hardly encircle
1t, and there was a sense of relief when
the ladies hailed 1 cab and entered it
Hide gill; big bundle and all. That HI
tie girl is a slave" said my friend 1T
is the cheapest way of getting help for
the house. She Is treated almost like a
daughter; does what work she can about
the house; carries parcels in the street /;
runs errands to the baker and the grocer,
and goes 10 school when she has nothing
else to do. Her work pays for her keep;
and when she has grown there is sure to
be some one willing to buy her. The
lot of that little slave was certainly bet
ter than that of many a child of the
slums In our cities
A carriage came whirfng by, drawn by
pair of noble horses, and with two
servants riding on horseback behind. 1t
stopped little in front OF us. The
coachman leaped to the ground and the
servants hastily dismounted, one of them
opening the door of The carriage. A negro
stepped out and passed into a shop, pro-
foundly saluted by passers by in the street
as well as by the three servants. He was
black as ebony, with high cheek bones,
very small eyes, and very thick lips. But
he was tall. and held his head like field
marshal. THAT man is a slave" said my
friend. (Which one?" I asked, looking
from one to the other of the three se1v-
ants. why. the negro who came in the
carriage" said my friend. These fellows
are his servants. but he himself belongs
to some very high parsonage, and has
charge of the women; probably he Is
chief of the slaves In some very great
house" One cannot find much to pity in
the lot of slave who rides about in a
coach

STRIKES THE SOURCE.
A Pile Cure That Goes to the Root of
the Disease.

There are lots of lotions, oils and salyes
that will, through their soothing influence.
relieve temporarily the pain Incident to
piles. But is that all the sufferer requires ?
Isn't II horrible thought to realize that
the ease is only temporary and that the
disease goes on under the surface with
out moments interruption.
Wouldn't 1t be wiser to select a remedy
that seeks the source and regulates those
deep seated disorders which induce the
disease? Pyramid Pile Cure not only re-
neVes the pain at once, but effects a per-
manent cure of the worst form of piles.
You don't have TO go through a tedious
course of dieting while using It either.
1t strikes through those delicate mem
branes and tissues and sets the blood in
healthfui circulation, reducing at once the
painful Inflammation and congested tum-
ors.
This remedy Is not a haphazard COM
bination of drugs but IL Is remedy in
vented by specialists who have treated
piles and blood disorders successfully for
years. Almost any first class druggist
has II on sale at so cts per package. Donet
treat this disease with every lotion and
salve that comes along. Remember the
parts affected are among the most delicate
in the human body. This remedy Is alb
solutely safe and no one need fear to an
ply IL freely on the most inhamed parts.
The speed with which 1t allays the pain
Is an agreeable surprise TO the sufferer.

NEGRO CENSUS TAKERS.


Southern Georgia.
Waycross. Ga, May PAT the request
of Congressman w. G.. Brantley, the ap-
pointment of o. D. Newton, colored, as
one of the census enumerators of Ware
county, has been recalled by Supervisor
Alderman. Mr.. Dan Lott white, has
been appointed in his place The Repub-
lican supervisor originally appointed four
Democrats, and two Republicans for Ware
county, and the substitution of Mr.. Lott
for Newton makes five Democrats There
seems TO be a general aversion in this
section TO having negroes take the CEN
sus. The feeling is especially bitter in
Coffee county.
The last week of the campaign in Ware
county finds the candidates working like
beavers, and the result cannot be fore
told with any certainty by the closest
observers. Each and every candidate is
sangulne of success, and will not give
up until the votes are all counted next
Tuesday. This registration this year Is
larger than ever before, by several hum
bred, the total number of names on the
books being 1900. As not over 60 per cent.
OF those actually of voting age have reg
istered, the figures indicate that there
are from $500 to 1900 persons in Ware who
would be entitled to vote If they complied
with the laws requirements Allowing
that the ratio of voters to population Is
one in five, it is safe to estimate that
the population of Ware is anywhere from
1900 to 1900, and maybe more The
census of 1890 gave the county SSH, it will
therefore be seen that the population has
almost doubled in ten years. The great
est increase will be found In the surban
population. Waycross in 1890, had 1864

Difficulties of Correspondents in
Sending News From Ladysmith.

Sending News From Ladysmith.
Ladysmith Correspondence of the Lon
don Telegraph.
One of the great est difficulties during
the siege has been to maintain communal
cation with the outside world. The cor
respondents have had their kilograms
mauled by a censor who fussily carries
the duties of his office to the verge of
the ridiculous, and then when these emae-
culated messages are intrusted to the
needless kaffir for conveyance through
the Boer lines, he usually allows himself
20 be caught, or else he gets afraid, in
which case he buTies the letter under n
stone and returns with a dolefui tale
that the Beers have taken it from him.
But the most efficient stopper of press
messages yet discovered is Col. Napoleon,

what Sir George said When he heard of
Col. Maplelcn's Femarkabl performance,

the pubic eye were entirely uncompl-
mentary to the oficious head of the hos
pifal camp.

terdam Matters of Interest to
Shippers and Mariners.
The steamer Alpha arrived yesterday
from Jacksonville, where she has been for
some time in the shipyards being remod-
eled. Her appearance is so much changed
by the alterations that she was not identi-
fed by many as she proceeded up the har-
Dor 10 her wharf at the foot of Whitaker
street
Capt. George U. Beach, owner of the
steamer, came along on her, having gone
to Jacksonville several days ago for the
purpose of hurrying the contractors in the
completion of the work. The demand for
the services of another steamer were rath-
er pressing, and 1t was thought the best
plan would be to proceed to the ship
yards, so that the necessary help would
be on hand TO bring her on when finished
With the additional room which has been
provided the carrying capacity of the
steamer, both freight and passenger, is
greatly increased. Nearly all the old work
forward was changed, and in place of the
pointed bow the Alpha now has the ferry
boat bow, which more conveniently ad-
mits of the taking on and discharging of
freight, particularly al landings which are
otherwise inconvenient to reach. Her deck
room has been enlarged, new ratings
erected, neat toilet arrangements provid-
ed, and other conveniences added that will
add to the comfort of passengers The
steamer has new boilers and smokestack
There is sim some finishing work to be
done. but enough was finished to put the
steamer in service
No time will be lost in putting the Alpha

ent German Emperor in his last i'll
ness, ran up a bill of nearly $3.50 for
drinks at an English public house,
and when the landlord sued for pay
ment pleaded a statute of George
H., the socalled s.Tippling act of
,1751," in his defense, by which an
innkeeper cannot recover for debts
for liquor amounting to more than
SIS. The statute is still on the books
and the trial Judge was obliged to
admit that it is good law now.
Mr.. Eltwood Pomeroy, of Boston,
refers to some queer freaks of legis
lation in a recent article. The Mis-
souri, Legislature in 1897 seriously
debated a bill fning widows and
maldens not less than 800 nor more
than $500 for rejecting a man. A
Tennessee Senator would forbid
any person to linger or loiter IN any
street, alley, road or lane in the vici-
nifty of any young ladies' boarding
school," These. instances r not at
par with the famous bill of.the New
York representatives making it a
penal offense to put less than thir-
teen oysters in q stew.
