GREATEST FRENCH DRAMATIsT.

sardou's Romantic Marriage and His
Row with Sarah Bernhardt.
Mile. Sardou, daughter of the dram
atist and academician. was married
recently at st. Auguetin, Paris. to
Comte Robert de Flers, member of
an old French family and dramatist
and critic. The President sent his
son, NJ. Paul Loubet. to express his
good wishes. M. Victorien Sardou was
himself married under the most ro-
mantle circumstances. AS young
man he worked and starved in gar
ret, and disappointment preyed upon
his nerves till he fell i'll. A young
actress. Mile. de Brecourt, took COM
passion upon him, nursed him back
to health, and introduced his work to
the famous actress. Dejazet. through
whom he was first acted. Sardou fell
in love with and married his benefac-
tress, whose death, ten years later.
Sardou has made more money than
any other dramatist, and he is prob
ably the only man who ever gave
Sarah Bernhard shaking. The in
cident occurred at rehearsal, and at
q period when the divine Sarah was
less eminent than she is now. They
offered as to the way In which pas
sage should be detained, and Sardou,
losing his temper. seized the actress
by the shoulder. and gave her shak-
ing. She retorted by slapping his face.

make you feel another thing the Arab
robber can do! What, no, my men!
Down with these rascals!"
In moment the Arabs were ready
for action, and hurried forward to
strike with their leader
AS soon as Shubal found his guard
gone, he called to Abba to come and
set him free.
"Cut these cords" he cried, "and
may be OF some help in this affair.
Merciful heaven, is not this the work
of good spirit"
The bondmaiden was not long in
setting him free from his saddle, and
as soon as he was clear he sprang for
ward to where the ring of clashing
steel had already broke upon the air.
With something like a smile of dis
dain upon his handsome features did
Julian behold the approach of the
Arabs, while Hobaddan, who sat close
by his side, looked grim and stern.
Osmir and Selim drew to the front as
the token of battle was given, and
their cool, determined bearing. plainly
showed that they were foeme1 not to
be despised. AL Abbas rode directly
for the youthful chieftain, with his
sword ready for the stroke; but he
had mistaken his man, If he thought
to touch any vulnerable point. Julian
knocked his weapon up, and quickly
drove him from his horse; and then,
seeking to make quick work of it, and
feeling no great sympathy for woman
stealers. he simply rode the Arab
leader down. cleaving open his head
as he fell.
Shubal was close at hand when AL
Abbas dropped, and quickly as pos
sible he possessed himself of the
fallen mans sword, and was just in
season to join in the conflict as three
of the Arabs had attacked Julian.
The young chieftain struck down one
of them by winding blow across the
bare neck, but he might have had
severe work with the other two had
not help arrived; for the rascals were
strong, and the death of their leader
had given them new impulse to con-
quer. 1t was not the impulse of re-
venge. No, no. The death of AL ABB
bas left more gold for those who sur
vived. But the unexpected arrival of
the freed slave upon the scene gave
new turn to the tide. One of the Arabs
he struck down from behind, and the
other one alone proved no match for
the stalwart chieftain.
In the meantime Hobaddan, with
Osmir and Selim, had disposed of the
others. Two they had slain, and two
had taken to flight.

BROKE BLAINE's BOOM.

Ex-Governor Newelps Medical Opinion
Turned Jersey Delegates.
Friends Of the late William A. New
ell, once Governor of New Jersey, have
recalled an old story in which he fig.
ures as the rock upon which the Pres
idential hopes of James G. Blaine
were wrecked in 1876. The ex-Goyer-
nor, who was physician as we'll as
politician, was delegate to the Re-
publican national convention in that
year, and he was prominent among
those members of the New Jersey dele
cation who favored Mr.. Blaine's nom.
ination. While the struggle for the
various aspirants was in progress, the
news came that Mr.. Blaine had haen
scribed as apoplexy and sunstroke
This event was eagerly seized upon
by the two or three Jersey delegates
who favored Mr.. Conkling, and these.

fear that the effects of such a
stroke" as Mr.. Blaine had suffered

his mental faculties. saw an oppor-
tunity, as they thought, to help their
candidate. They secured conference
of the delegation. and, when it had
met, they called upon the Ex-Governor
to give his opinion, as a medical man.
as to whether, in the circumstances,
it would be prudent to nominate the
Maine statesman. The answer, given
with extreme reluctance and regret,
and of course entirely sincere, was in
the negative. Mr.. Blaine's hold upon
the New Jersey delegates was imme-
diately broken, but their votes ulti-
mately went, not to Mr.. Conkling, but
to Mr.. Hayes. Those who like to as
cribe great effects to small causes saw
at the time, in the inaccurate, long
distance diagnosis of DR.. Newell the
explanation of Mr.. Blaine's failure to
reach the Presidency. for they say
that, though he was defeated in 1884.
If he had been nominated in 1876 he
would have been elected.-New York

CHAPTER XVII.

BY the Banks of the Pharphar.
Half an hour after AL Abbas had
resumed his place at the head of his
troop, the same robber who had be-
fore come from the rear, again rode
to the front, this time bringing intelli-
gence that number Of horsemen were
pursuing them. The chief drew his
horse aside and looked back, and saw
four men coming. They were well
mounted, and seemed to be in hot pur-
suit
There is something more than ac-
cident in this" said AL Abbas. 1.-THE
fellow is with them who followed us
before"
Two of those men are white" ro-
marked the robber who had ridden
up from the rear. what can they
want of us?"
Never mind" returned the chief
IF they want us, let them catch u.s.
And IL. beyond that, they want more,
let them make their wants known"
Thus speaking, the Arab leader re-
sumed his place, and urged his horses
forward with increasing speed. Ever
and anon he cast his eyes behind him,
and it was ere long evident that the
strangers were rapidly gaining upon
him.
1--WE may as well stop now as at any
time" said AL Abbas, addressing the
man who rode by his side. 81 will

want. 1t is about time our horses

At simple order from their chief,
the Arabs wheeled their horses in a

rear.
who are you that thus pursues and
stops me?" demanded AL Abbas.
II am Julian, the Scourge of Da-
mascus!" replied the foremost Of the
opposite party.
At the sound of that name the Arab
trembled, for he knew that no kings
officer had been more persistent In
driving petty robbers from the plains
of Damascus than had Julian. But
presently he recovered himself. SEEM

As the World
RepOIx,ec
The War on Beet Sugar.

The American Sugar Refining Com
pany, otherwise known as the sugar
trust, recently began war upon the
beet sugar industry by cutting the
price of granulated to 31s cents a
pound at Missouri river points. This
has been followed by reduction of
price in all states from Colorado to
California amounting to 80 cents a
pounds on beet sugar and 20
cents on cane sugar. The object is to
deal blow to the beet sugar manu-
taeturers in their own territory. The
recent report of Secretary Wilson on
the beet sugar industry estimates the
total product of 1901 at 1875, 500 tons, OF
which 10000 tons come from the Pa
cific coast and Rocky Mountain states,
besides 1000 tons from Nebraska. Cali
fornia, with an annual output of So
900 tons, is the leading producer.

BIG HOTELS CAPACITY.

New York Hostelry That Takes Care Of
Thousands of Guests Daily.
Neither the bigness nor the COM
pleteness of big hotel is appreciated
by the patron who finds his interest
satisfied with the accommodations
which 1t furnishes. He knows In a
general way that 1t may be a dozen
stories high and several cellars deep,
and that the thousand or more guests
are attended by servants on every
hand, and when he pays his bill he
believes that the charges are exorbi-
tant.
One Of these hotels, which differs
from the others chiefly in degree,
represents an investment of $4,000
900. The 1,4OO bedrooms and $50 bath
rooms in it are SO constructed by a
series of inner courts that each opens
to the outer air. 1t has several con-
cert halls and theateIs, three great
bathrooms, and, in addition to its pub
lie dining room, where, during the
horse show wesk, for instance, 10000
people are served daily, it has series
of private dining rooms which are ar
ranged for from ten to 1000 persons.
In the largest ball room in this hotel
was given one night last winter the
charity ball, attended by $500 people.

the same evening. in other parts OF
the hotel, were in progress two con-

R0PE-WAlK IN NEW YORK.
An Oidtime Sight to BE Witnessed In
Vacant Lot Uptown.


Vacant Lot Uptown.
In vacant lot at 111th street and
Amsterdam avenue may be seen
rope-walk, that is, place where ropes
are made by hand, says the New York
Sun. 1t Is the only one still in exist
ence in New York city, though they
were plentiful enough about twenty
five years ago, before the machine
made ropes were so much used. 1t Is
an interesting sight to watch the rope
walker, with his body covered with
hemp, spinning it into rope. This he
does with the aid of large wheel
which boy turns constantly, at the
spinner's command of "Heave!"
''Heave quicker" The spinner walks
backward letting the hemp out grad
ually from around his body. At one
end he attaches the hemp to hook
revolving at the turn of the wheel.
When sufficient threads are spun in
this way a top or spool with the num-
Der of grooves necessary for all the
threads to fit in, is attached to them.
The spinner grasps 1t firmly and shout
ing to the boy at the wheel to heave
fast, which means to turn the wheel
rapidly, he goes at almost a run to
the opposite end of the walk, with the
top in his hand. In this way the diff
ferent threads are twisted into one.
The rope is now completed ready to
be packed and shipped excepting in
cases where the hemp Is unusually
rough, in which event a paste made Of
flour and water is used to smooth 1t.
Ropes made in this way are much
stronger than those made by machine,
but cannot be sold so cheaply. and
moreover, have the disadvantage Of
heinz --~eas Ia nn4Aitca lensths vnly
whereas the machine-made ropes can
be made In almost unlimited lengths,
the purchaser taking only as many
feet as required. Machine-made ropes
are sold at from one to three cents a
yard, while those made by hand are
sold at nearly double the amount, but
they wear several times as long.
