HIS Survival Due to the Psrsiap's K,sr
Artistic Sense


Few, probably, among the readinI
public who are interested in Oma
have any conception Of the state o
the book market, or Of the manner il
which literature is diiiused in Persia
Some may picture to themselves
state of affairs similar TO that in Flu
rope, with a certain admixture Of orr
entail slowness and lack of method
while Others may suppose that Persis
can boast of no book market at all
beyond the casual buying and selling
of manuscripts.
Now, in some parts of the east,
printing, book selling and journal
ism have-especially during the last
ten or twenty years-been developed
to a comparatively high degree. Both
ConStantinople and Cairo possess ex-
cellent printing presses, which are re-
sponsible for numberless books and
journals, nor are these two capitals
the only oriental towns which boast
of printing press. Nevertheless.
Persia is at the present day entirely
dependent upon photography for her
native production of books and jour
nals--which are very rare. AT the
beginning Of the present century q
press with movable types was set UP
in Tabriz, at which a certain number
of books were printed. The effort
however, met with no encouragement,
and had shortly afterward to be aban-
doned. The unpopularity of type
printing in Persia, says the North
American Review, is due to two prin.
cipal causes; firstly, the straightneS
of the lines offends Persian's artistic
sense; and, secondly, in printed books
the character of the letters is entirely
lost. The same cause which leads
Persian to esteem so highly great
caligraphers makes him deplore all
absence of character in type-printed
book. What most delights him is
well-written manuscript, and he takes
the same delight in the copyist's work
az we take in the touch of an old mas
ter. Failing this, he contents himself
with Autograph, which is usually
the fac-simile of the writing of some
good scribe, and has, al any rate, a hui
man element about it.
1t is hard for US to credit the vast
amount of attention that is paid to
caIigraphy in the east, where men Of
learning devote years to its acquire
ment, and their best days to making
artistic copies Of classical works. AL
though this art is dying out to GER
tain extent, owing to the cheapness
of photography, man may even to
this day in Persia become as famous
for his writing as poet for his
verses

STORY OF A RUNAWAY.
Showing the Foolish Things Excited
People Will Sometimes Do.

All the details OF a runaway acct
don't that startled throng of shop
pers did not get into the papers. Most
people know how the spirited horses,
for the time wholly unmanageable,
dashed down the street, how the natty
little brougham was overturned and
how the woman in il was rescued I'M
injured, except for the fright and the
bruises incident to such a shaking up.
But that is all they do know. They
don't know, says the Milwaukee SEN
tinel, the side of the accident that is
causing glee within the intimate fam
lily circle OF the woman herself The
carriage was upset on one of the
crowded downtown streets, and a
small army of men rushed to the res
cue Of the occupant while the coach
man, gathering himself up after his
tumble, ran after the horse. Through
the window Of the brougham, as it lay
on its side, the rescuers could see the
woman, a heap of fur and silks and
laces and frightened femininity
crouched in one corner They shout
ed to her TO cover her head while they
broke open the door so that the fall,
ing glass would not injure her, anc
then having demolished the side Of
the carriage they tenderly lifted hel

Praise for Gen. Grout.

The mastery manner in which
Mr.. Grout handled the district appro-
priation bill in the House causes the
people of Washington more than ever
to regret his approaching departure
from Congress. He explained the
provisions of the budget with skill
and discretion, acknowledging the
necessity for a large total, defending
the increase due to an enlarged popu-
lation, and in general guarding the
bill at all points against attack. This
exhibition of good management and
fair play to all concerned, has charac-
terized Mr.. CIRCUITS entire career as
a legislator, and especially his work
affecting the District of Columbia,
and it is a matter of sincere sorrow
that as a result of his legitimate as
pirations for promotion to the Sen
ate, pursuing which he relinquished
his chance for reelection to the House,
this efficient public servant tempo
rarily retires after March to pri-
vate life, leaving a gap which it will
be difficult to fill 1t is to be hoped
that his absence from Washington
may be brief Washington Star

Andrew Carnegie Sells out.

1t is announced that a bargain has
been concluded for the purchase by
j. Pierpont Morgan and his associates
of Andrew Carnegie's controlling in
terest in the Carnegie Steel company.
The terms of the transfer are not an
nounced,. but the operation surpasses
in magnitude the colossal transaction
by which control of the Southern Pa
cific company only a few days ago
passed to a syndicate of the Union Pa
cific interests; for Mr.. Carnegie held
nearly "a per cent of the 100000 600
stock of the Carnegie company. This
stock is not listed on any exchange,
but has been quoted as high as $500
in the open market for a $1,000 share,
so that, assuming that Mr.. Carnegie
has disposed of his holdings at par, he
will receive fully $S5,00O,OOO for them,
while retaining his SO or 81 per cent
interest in the $160,000,000 bond issue
of the Carnegie company.

The steamer Guatemala from the
South American coast reports that ON
Jan 6, when 100 miles south of Quay
aquil, Ecuador, and five miles off
shore, the vessel experienced the heav-

those waters. For over one minute
heavy shocks continued and the ship
was lifted at each shock. Slighter
shocks continued for many minutes.
On arriving at Guayaquil it was learn
ed that the shocks were the heaviest
in the history of the city, but there
was no loss of life as at the first warn
ing all the people rushed to the pub

NEWS IN BRIEF.
HOPEFUL FOR Beers.

Claim That DeWet Captured 1925, 900
and 10000 Khaki Uniforms in a
Single Week.
Charles D. Pierce, consul general
of the Orange Free State and trustee
and treasurer for the Boer relief fund,
gave out Saturday a statement about
the condition of affairs in South
Africa. The statement in part is as
follows:
Advices by cable and private mes
sages from Europe and South Africa
are more encouraging than at any
time since the beginning of the war.
There can be no doubt of the final
success of the Beers, who will accept
no other terms from Great Britain
than peace with honor" meaning the
full recognition of both republics with
full treatymaking powers.
1.-THE Boer forces now number $4,000
men. They have so far succeeded in
obtaining by capture a large portion
of their supplies from the British.
Gen. Christian DeWet, the great
est cavalry leader of modern times, in
one week captured $925,OOO in gold
and 10000 khaki uniforms-enough
to last the army four years; he has
also captured over 100000 cattle and
horses and 5000 prisoners.
He and his forces alone have in
flicted on the British losses of more
than S25,000,000."

DIED FROM FRIGHT.

Four Drunken Frenchmen Started a
Row at Hartford, and the Scene
Caused the Death Of Mrs. Rushlow.
Four Frenchmen from Lebanon, N.
H., called at the house of Joseph Tye
in Hartford village at about ten
O'Clock Saturday evening, aroused him
and secured admission. They were
under the influence of liquor, and pro-
ceeded to own the place and engage
in general mix-up They told Ty e
they had come to kill him. Mrs.
Tye went, in light wrapper, to the
house of a neighbor, A. Rushlow, jr.,
for assistance. A general engage
ment followed and the Frenchmen
were finally elected.
Mrs. Rushlow followed her husband
to the Tye house and became terri
bly, frightened by the scenes and
events there and had to be assisted
to her home. She felt faint and sick
and laid down on a lounge. She
suffered severely from nausea and
not getting relief laid down on the
floor hoping a change of position
would improve her condition but died
there in a few minutes.
After the fraCas the four men re-
turned to Lebanon. Sheriff Stearns
found three of them there and placed
them under arrest. They stated that
the other man had returned to log
ging camp. Some one in the sheriff S
party understood from a discussion
among the Frenchmen, in their native
tongue, that the other man was in a
barn nearby. There he was found,
dead drunk The four are now in
custody at White River Junction,
awaiting trial.

The Latest Outrage in the Philippines.
From the New York Tribune.

The orders recently issued by Gen.
Macarthur deporting from the Philip
pines certain Tagals who were aiding
the insurgents, and also eXpelling
from Manila an American who was
there editing a newspaper, have fur
nished abundant material for moral
izing over the awful tyranny of I'M
perialism. At last Senator Teller has
taken the matter up in the Senate
and called on the secretary of war for
information about the grievous out
RACES on liberty, which he bravely
says are mot to be whistled down the
wind" he thinks it something not
only unconstitutional, but unnatural,
that an American citizen should be
sent away from Manila on the charge
of being "a dangerous incendiary and
a menace to the military situation
and says no such offense is known in
any free country in the world.
Apparently Senator Teller is under
some sort of delusion concerning the
nature of our government at Manila.
There is not a government in the
world, free or despotic, which would
not deport man as "a dangerous in
cendiary and menace to the military
situation" under the conditions exist
ing in Manila. Such deportation is
not a manifestation of Imperialism, It
is not an effort to override the con
stitution, even if the constitution eX-
tends over the Philippines with all its
provisions, as completely as over New
York, but merely a recognized pro.
ceeding under military law. There
is war going on about Manila. The
place is occupied by an army. Every
body there is subject to the military
orders of the major-general command
ing, and it has been the recognized
right of every general at all times
and in all countries to eXpel from his
lines all persons whom he considered
a menace to the military situation.

With a Chair.

With a Chair.
There has been trouble brewing for
some time between Mayor John ID.
Spellman and Alderman James E.
Greed of the LIST ward. Last night
the trouble came to a head and blood
was spilled. 1t was at a meeting OF
the board for the abatement of taxes
in the City Council chamber and the
mayor was in the chair. Alderman
Greed rose with the tax book of 1899
in his hand and asked of Tax Collec-
tor Clark, Did you not sell at auc-
ton a short time ago a piece of prop
erty on North Main street to satisfy
tax claim OF 1862"
81 did" replied the collector.
why did you not at the same time,
continued the alderman, "sell some of
the property of Mrs. Spellman, the
wife of the mayor, to satisfy a claim
which | find recorded against her in
this book"
Mr.. Greed, said the mayor, you
will come to order"
why did you not at the same
time, | say"
Mr.. Creed" Numbered the chair
man, coming down from the platform,
taking his station in front of the al
derman's desk and shaking his finger
in his face. Mr.. Greed, | command
you to come to order"
Alderman Greed never took his
eyes from the tax book and resumed,
why did you not"
He was interrupted this time by a
right-hand blow in the face, which
knocked him over against the next
row of desks. Picking himself up,
with blood streaming down his face,
Greed seized the heavy chair N
which he had been sitting and rushed
at his assailant. Overtaking the
mayor behind the presiding officers
desk he dealt him a swinging blow in
the back with the chair.
The meeting was now in confusion.
Some of the non-cOmbatants vaulted
the railing to get out of reach of the
swinging chair, while several of the
alderman seized the mayor and MIR.
Greed and dragged them apart. The
Herald reporter found big blotch oe
blood on his copy paper when the
ARRAY was over. Some one moved to
adjourn and everybody was glad to
shout AYE, = Rutland Herald of
Tuesday.
