FASCINATING CAIRO.
The Most Picturesque and Interesting
of Oriental Cities.


From its founding in 969 by the
Fatimite califs, as an offshoot Of the
tented settlement of Fostat, to the pres
ent rule of AbbaS Pasha, seventh Khe-
dive, or viceroy, Of the dynasty of Me.
hemit Ali, Cairo-capital of Egypt,
metropolis of the African teaching-has
had a romantic history. Scene Of ia
nous exploits of great personages,
from Saladin to Napoleon, of sanguin-
ary conflicts between Christianity and
Islamism, and the memorable massacre
of the Mamelukes; cradle Of RELIGION
and cults; home of the Arabian
Nights" tales; the place where lasting
principles of philosophy and science
were conceived, and where Bible
scenes We're laid, Cairo has become the
meeting-gro Of winter idlers from
every cline.
Cairo looks old, but comparatively Is
not; Alexandria has the appearance Of
newness, but was twelve hundred
years old before the first stone of the
present capital was laid. But the
Cairo Of to-day is only the develop
ment of Fostat, Old Cairo, New Baby
Ion, and Heliopolis, probably. There
has always been a great city there or
thereabouts, changing in appellation
with it's locale.
The visit to Egypt has become almost
as essential to Americans-and fully
Of hn iTb
ors are from the States-as the pilgrim
age of good Mohammedans to Mecca.
The Mohammedans' religion takes
them but once to the sacred city of the
prophet, but pleasure draws those ia
vored by fortune to the Nile capital
time after time. Cairo is more than in
teresting; it Is fascinating. The anti
quarian, the student, and the sayant
have always been at home there; and
the invalid, real or imaginary, seeking
climate, finds in and about the khe-
diva] city the superlative of air and
temperature.
Artists never weary of reproducing
Cairo's picturesque scenes and vivid
colorings. The blue of the skies, the
splendor of the setting sun, the Turner
esque afterglow, and the delicate
browns of the desert, seem to be best
suggested in water-colors. Like Venice,
Egypt demands master hand in oils.
The traveller Of impressionable na-
ture yields to the fascination Of Cairo's
quaint Eastern life, as perfect as if met
far beyond the Orients threshold, and
doubly satisfying, because found with
in half-hour of the creature comforts

wherein history has been made. be

music in Europe at hand, explains a
charm that Cairo has for mortals lik-
Ing to witness Eastern life provided
they are not compelled to become mart
of it. If Egypt disappoints, the indie
cisive idler can in four or five DAYS be
back in Paris or the Riviera.-Century.

SENATOR JoHHsoN's OFFICE
Attorney General Griggs RESPONSE.
BILE for His Selection.

The appointment of Senator William
M. Johnson, of Bergen county, TO be First
Assistant Postmaster-General at Wash
ington, was a great surprise to many Re-
publican leaders throughout the State.
Senator Johnson's appointment was due
to the individual efforts of Attorney y-Gen-
eral John w. Griggs
Senator Johnson has served two terms
in the State Senate, and his appointment
to the Postoffice Department at Wash
ington will create vacancy from Bergen
county which must be filled at the No
vember election. Senator Johnson's sec
ond term began last year and he still had
a year to serve. In 1898 and 1899 he was
the Republican leader in the Senate, and
this year served as president. He was
the first Republican Senator ever elected
from Bergen county.
Early this year Senator Johnson was
mentioned as a candidate for the nominal
tion Of Governor on the Republican ticket
in 1861, and the opinion was expressed that
he would make a very valuable man in
this place. Senator johnson was averse,
however, to having the matter consid-
cred seriously, and discouraged all discus
sion of the subject. He is understood to
have declined an appointment to the State
Supreme Court.

DEMOCRATIC BARBECUE.
New Jersey Politicians TO Assemble
In East Newark ON Labor Day.

The Democratic Executive Committee
of East Newark has nearly completed ar
rangements for large barbecue to take
place on Labor Day in Cosmopolitan
Park, corner of Central and Passaic ave-
nues. The committee have been hard
ar work for weeks arranging the details
of the affair, which promises to be one of
the biggest events ever held in Hudson
County. Prominent Democrats from all
parts of the State will be present There
will be speech making and series of
athletic sports, and in the evening there
will be dancing.
Among the men who have already ac-
cepted invitations to be present and speak
are the Hon. William Sulzer of New
4ork;( Charles Campbell, New York
Mayor Edward Kenny and Freeholder
Thomas Duffy of East Newark; Alexander
c. Young of Hoboken Joseph A. Beecher
OF Newark; William Gorsuch of Airing
ton; Freeholders Joseph A Riordan and

bott of New York

will direct the arrangements for the State
convention at Trenton September 6, when
the ten Republican electors will be chosen
and when the issues of the campaign.
from the Republican viewpoint, will be
presented by Senator julius c. Burrows,
of Michigan.
The local fight between the RikerlDex-
heimer people on one side and the chair
man of the County Committee, Major
Carl Lentz, on the other, is still being
waged and with increased bitterness on
both sides. The Dexheimer people are
jubilant over what they claim was a total
failure in the search through Orange for
antiIDexheimer men to serve as election
officers.
Judge Charles B. Storrs and William
A Lord directed the seareh,' said Dex-
heimer man today. They sent all over
the city to find men to take the place
of two loyal men, good, honest Republi-
cans, who have served on the board for
half a score or more years. When they
failed the Major pitched on a Demo-
crat named MdNally to take the place
of Fred Reed who is stauneh Dex-
heimer advocate. Reed was turned down,
but In turning him down the Major has
handed over to the Dexheimer people a
great many men who had refused to be-
lieve that Lentz would resort to such
means to accomplish his end. And it
will be rarely skilled election officer
who will attempt any tricks and get
through with them at the primary cleo
ton. Every move made by the Lentz
substitutes in every district of the county
will he well watched =
Many among the Republicans of the
county regard the plan of changing the
place of convention from the Orange
Music Hall, where it has been the custom
to hold them, to the Kruger Auditorium,
as a direct effort to prevent the presence
of a swarm of Dexheimer advocates, who
might try to influence the nomination by
cheering for their champion.
But the trolley cars will be running
that night and the fare down and back
is only ten cents said the Orange Re-
publicans today, "and guess the Major
will have plenty of Johns friends there
as guests that evening"

visited the mill, which had not been used
IN over year. It was found that nearly
everything of any value in the building

there is every reason for hopefulness and

At the Board Of Health office 1t was
said that the recent estimate of the
board had been 2500o0. very close to the
Federal census figures. 1t was made for
the board by DR.. e. e. Worl about two
months ago from data collected from past
census figures, directories, estimates from
various sources and other available
means.
Postmaster Hays said he had counted
on 210000, the estimate made as result
of the letter-carrier's enumeration. He
did not doubt, however, that the govern
ment figures were correct. He believed
Newark had just escaped from many
impediments that Kindred her growth,
and was starting out on glorious career.
The next decade he said, would show

6. H. Baldwin, manager of the Newark
Directory office, doubted the accuracy of
the census figures. He was confident he

from 270.000 But he did not anticipate

He has promised to address meetings in
Jersey City, Newark, Trenton, Paterson

Local Politicians Think He
Should Be Nominated
for Congress.
CANDIDATES FOR THE HAYORALTY
Changes Mentioned In the
Assembly Candidates In
November-Date of
Primaries.
CANDIDATES FOR THE MAYORALTY


Mr.. Robert Davis is still enjoying his
vacation at Acre, N. Y. He is expected
home next week, and then politics will
be a-buzzing.'' In the meantime local is
sues are as dead as Julius Caesar.
When Mr.. Davis comes back the all
absorbing question will be, WHO will get
the nomination for Congress?" and the
political quidnuncs about the City Hail
have quite made up their mind that the
honor will be offered to Mayor Hoos, and
in that event there will be lively race
to succeed him as Mayor. A great many
believe that his Honor will accept it.,
although If you should speak to him
about it he smiles in a. deprecating sort
of way and dismisses the subject. As
Representative from the Seventh Con-
gressional district it would be step to
which the Mayor is fully entitled by his
splendid public record. He has been
Alderman, Freeholder, Director of the
Board of Education, Assemblyman, May
or and Congressman, his friends say, is
logically the next honor.
In Mayor Hoos's place, should he re-
ceive the Congressional nomination, poll
ticians have already named certain gen.
tlemen, each of whom has a strong fol-
lowing. They are.-Colonel R. G. Smith,
Anthony Hauck, Geo. T. Bouton, Robert
S. Hudspeth, Daniel Y. Lewis and VIM.
F. Midlige. With a single exception, it
Is believed that each is willing to accept
the nomination and has been endorsed by
large organizations scattered throughout
the city.
Next in interest will be the nomination
for the new Board of Freeholders, and
already there is being done no slight
hustling by some of the aspirants for
office. Then again there are the As
semblymen, and there will be some
changes. Maurice Marks, it is said, will
not go back and his place viii be taken
by Lawyer Sullivan. George c. Tenant,
Allan Benny, James ], Murphy, P. An
thony Brock, j. Emil Walscheid and John
D. Vollers will receive another nomina-
ton, while Edward j. Rice of Harrison
and Leon Albeit of Hoboken will, it is
said, decline a second term, and for their
places there will be some contest.
On Wednesday, September 5, the DEM
ocratic primaries will be held for the
election of delegates to the Democratic

CITIZENS MEETING POSTPONED

and believed that good times lay in the
unlimited coinage of silver.
But since Bryan's defeat the lead, cop
per, zinc and silver mines had been more
active than before. Good prices and good
markets for all sorts of cereals had been
obtained and the Western people who are
Republicans at heart are more than ever
satisfied with the Administration. Moth
ing would at this time change their vote
for continued prosperity and foreign and
domestic marts for their products.
Senator Kean added that the young
people of the West were solid for Nc
Kinley, as they reasoned that under
Lincoln and Grant their fathers had built
and reared good homes for them. They
now wished to establish homes for their
own children, and in no other way could
they do that than to maintain govern
ment that worked and earned the con-
fidence of the artisan and the moneyed
world.
