The Ibis md 1ts Substitute.

Mr.. Fl. f. Witherby, a recent trav-
eler on the White Nile, describes the
sacred bird of ancient Egypt, the ibis,
which, he says, very few travellers in
that country ever see, because it only
visits Egypt during the period of in,
undation; but the ~dragomans, know
ing the desire Of all foreigners to see,
the famous bird, point out to them, as
a substitute, the butfzbacked heron,
which is really totally unlike the ibis.
The head, neck and legs of the lat
ter, all bare of feathers, are jet black,
in sharp contrast with the pure white
plumage of the body. "The wings are.
edged with black like a mourning en-
velope, and from each shoufderdrooE
green-black ~feathery plumes. When
flying toward one the bird seems to
be streaked with blood, for the wing

Of course they will admit they have
extended credit to people who have

ANARCHISTS IN ITALY.
Members of the Groups Are Closely
Watched and Are Given Short
Shrift There.

II Progresso Italo-Americano, the
italian newspaper of New York, pub
fishes a letter from one of it's CORE
%spondents at Milan, which shows how
the authorities in the peninsula
promptly act toward anarchists.
1t has been recently learned by the
political bureau of the prefecture of
Milan that strong efforts We're being
made by the anarchists of that city to
reconstitute the famous anarchist
groups which were dissolved att the
time of the murder of King Humbert.
The intention was to place under the
immediate and exclusive direction of
the central committee those recon
stituted anarchist groups. Being
alarmed at such a movement the po-
litical bureau and it's chief, Inspector
Alone, instituted q special surveil-
lance, and five anarchists, who met in
a hotel, were arrested in the night.
Four of them were released soon aft
erward. But the fifth one, a certain
Pietro Baroni, 80 years old, and a
chairmaker by trade, was kept under
arrest and his lodgings were searched.
There was found a collection of books
and pamphlets, all devoted to praise
of the regicide.
Baroni, says the New York Tribune,
pressed with questions, confessed that
he was the seller of these publications
for a companion, Colombo Giuseppe,
a noted anarchist, who had been ar
rested when King Humbert was killed
at Mona at the gates Of Milan. A
search of the house of Colombo did
not reveal anything of a criminal char
acter. He denied the charge of being
an active anarchist. But in hispocket
was found a list of the publications
sent from the office of an anarchist
paper, which granted him an allow
ance Of 20 per cent. on the sale of those
publications.
Colombo and Baroni were kept urA
der arrest and will be tried soon.

him into a strange p.ac-, or not

he does not know who claims to have

dred other warnings.
1t is quite right that these warp-
ings should be conspicuously displayed
for the benefit of strangers in the city.
1t is right that they should be protect
ed; that the police should exercise care
in shielding them from the wolves.
But are the strangers in the city the
only men who need such protection?
1t seems not.
There are no statistics available to
prove this statement. but l believe that
there are more city men caught by
sharpers in The city of Chicago than
strangers. Would it not be we'll for
Chicago to offer the same protection to
her own citizens; would it not be we'll
to have the same warnings displayed
in the clubs, in the business houses, in
the restaurants, in every place where
the Suckers" of Chicago might see
them. Such a display might save the
Chicago press some tears.

SLAVES ARE STILL SOLD.

In spite of the fact that the British
government keeps 255 men with camels
constantly employed in trying to
break up the slave traffic in the Sou
dan certain experts affirm that the
trade still flourishes in q greater or
lesser degree, says the Chicago Trib-
une.
Most of the 25 offenders convicted
during the last IL months were sheiks
of the Rashidas, one of the most trou-
blesome and dreaded tribes in the Sou
dan. The activity against them, how
ever, has driven most of them east
into italian territory.
The slave trade at Jeddah has been
the most serious to arrest. The
principal traffic is from Massaua and
the coast to the n%orthward in Italian
territory, Abyssinia, Hodeida and
Yemen. Yemen is noted for the export
of the slaves who are procured from
Abyssinia.
At Jeddah there are ~ wealthy slave
merchants whose names and depots.
are we'll known.
The prices of slaves are: Male or fe-
male, IA years old, about $50; IA to 20
years, $500 to $125; 20 to 80 years, $50
each.
In Medina and Mecca the prices of
both sexes rise so per cent. and up
wards, while some readily command
from $500 to $500 each.
A traveller who recently crossed
Abyssinia, entering by the leila route
and leaving by the Blue Nile, said that
slavery existed in that portion of the
country under the control of Menelik,
but in a restricted and comparatively
humane form.
The powerful chiefs alone are per-
mitted to acquire domestic slaves, who
become in effect members of the house

There are no auctions or open sales.

The supply of victims for this traf-
fic is obtained principally by organized
raids upon the country inhabited by

arates Abyssinia from the Anglo

vestment. 1t brought tears to the eyes
of the Chicago press because n OF
the citizens of Chicago had not sue
ceeded in beating another man out of
his money. They could see nothing
to laugh at when the faro man got
the best of a live, wide-awake Chi
cagoan, who was consumed with a de-
sire to get rich quick at the expense
of some one else. 1t was a sin and a
earned dollars. In that story the
funny part would have been the uc-
cess of the real estate man. Had he
have broken the faro bank as he ex-
pected to, it would have been but am
other sample of Chicago genius that
deserved the highest commentator on
the part of the press.
To the papers, however, there was
something indescribably funny about
a farmer coming to town and expect
ing to buy the Masonic temple for the
insignificant sum of $4,000. Something
funny in the fact that he should imag-
inc that because a stranger instructed
the elevator boys in an office building
where to let them off he should mag
inc that the man owned the place.
They could not see the reverse side
of the story. They could see no great
reason why the sharper who sold the
Masonic temple when he did not own
1t should be arrested, but they could
see a reason why the police should
stop "skin" faro games-when the VIC
tim was a resident of Chicago.

many a downfall-the desire to "get

place else in the world SO given to a
desire for sudden wealth as Chicago.
1t is a part of the life of the western
metropolis.
Occasionally we hear of one of the
men who fail, and one of these cases
came to light but a few days ago
when a real estate dealer of the city
who had tried to WOO the goddess
of fortune at another mans game had
the other man arrested on a charge
of swindling.
His financial fall was caused by the
old. old faro scheme, a ICON" game
so old that even the western Indians
would not bite at it, and yet it has

brief was something like this:

proposed a sure way of beating a faro
game at which he was to be the deal

money, but who wanted more, into
the scheme, and the "sucker" bit
He was introduced to a little game
at a downtown hotel, and in ten
minutes had parted with $1,000 of his
real estate commissions.
Now he is telling his troubles to the
policeman and asking that his hard

A VERY WINDY PLACE.
loom and Many Curious
Features.

The Wind cave of Dakota has lately
been acquired by the government,
and is to be made a show place. 1t we'll
deserves its name, for the log cabin
built over its mouth has had to be
fastened to the ground by heavy tim
bers, and the logs mortised and pinned
to prevent the building from being
raised from it's foundation and hurlea
skyward by the immense force of the
wind from within, says Youths Com
panion.
The first explorer of the cave discov-
cred that when the mouth was closed
by heavy timbers the motion of the
wind ceased, and a person inside did
not feel it except at a few particular
points. 1t was for this reason that the
cabin was built over the entrance, with
an inner door fitting closely against
the portals of the cave itself in such a
way that the air was completely
blocked.
A sightseer who afterward sent an
account of his experience to news
paper, came to the door of the little
hut and heard a roaring sound emanat-
ing from the earth, followed by such a
slamming of the door that the building
shook. 1t was nothing but the open
ing of the inner door to allow the exit
of a guide, but it had a terrible sound.
Within the cabin the visitors saw
nothing but a cupboard, from which
the two guides provided them with can
I1as in fin n oplloetsn1-e ,4+,oloJ -
stripsof wood. The party then formed
in line, as the inner door could only
be opened long enough to admit one
person at "a time. If it were kept open
the wind would tear the building to
pieces.
A guide went first. Selling the bar
fastening the door, he turned itslowly
to near the end of the clamp that held
it, then giving a quick wrench, darted
through the door as the force within
sent it open. AS soon as he was inside
he seized an iron ring, and, adding his
strength to that of the guide who had
remained without, slammed the door.
With n man on the inside and one
out, it was much easier for the guides
to handle the door, and each member
of the party a through in turn as the
door opened.
The cave itself is a wonderful place.
The guides have explored 1900 rooms,
covering a lineal distance of 80 miles,
but they say the extent of the cave is
not yet known.
Forty miles north of the entrance is
another and almost equally beautiful
cavern called Crystal cavern. The
guides believe that some day it will be
found that one is a continuation,of the
other.
Some parts of Wind Cave are 5000
feet below the surface of the earth. Al.
kinds of weird and beautiful effects
ire gained by burning ligl is within
n or another of the rooms. Stalac
titles V walls and ceilings in many
of the caverns, and the cave is full
enough of terrors and delights to sat
isfy the most exacting cave-hunter.

ago during a winter season spent in New York city. Like every

had been left behind.

But the American mar is different from the English man. He

conversation of rational human beings, he goes to his club. And his
differs from the English man. The American club is not a dreary
mausoleum where plethoric old gentlemen scowl at each other from
behind the ambush of a newspaper, but a gay and luxurious retreat
safe from the tempestuous peticoat, where men tell each other mirth-
full stories, and mix each other aluring drinks.
1t is at his club that we see the American man at his best. l can
say from experience that the average American man, the maj who
handles great affairs, and counts his business dealings in the millions

in another mans faro scheme to the
extent of $780,, told another little
tale of an honest Wisconsin farmer,
who had all his life dealt with honest
men, and who was unused to the ways
of the city, who had purchased an OPP
ton on the Masonic Temple for the
insignificant sum of $500 from a
sharper.
The honest agriculturist could not
be expected to know much of the
value of Chicago real estate, and
when a nan proposed to sell him the
great State street building for $12,-
600 he looked it over and concluded
it might be a good investment, and
innocently paid $4os for E s4hour OPP
ton.

They Never Get Frecls1cd.

A curious thing about the children of
Russian parents reared in the tene-
ments of Philadelphia is that they
never get freckled or sunburned like
the children of other nationalities.
With the fairest complexion, blue eyes
and yellow hair, they will play all day
in the streets with no protection but a
SINGLE garment, and yetnever show the
slightest trace of freckles or sunburn.
An explanation of this is that there is
said to be no yellow pigment in their
skin.-Philadelphia Record.
