CAIRO STREET CRIES.
Strange sounds and Queer Voices
That Travellers Hear In the
Egyptian Metropolis.

Take a chair outside busy cafe
near the market place and tram CEN
ter and watch street life. There are
no hungry men, no starving, pinched
child faces, no fingerworn mothers,
for this is a land of plenty and the
peoples wants are few and simple.
Thus sunshine and laughter spray
welcome fragrance over the novelty
and romance of the gay city streets.
says the London Traveller.
Here is a street melodist twanging
q monstrous one-stringed "some-
thing" and accompanied by a nose
ringed girl who taps deftly on a
species of tambourine, while bystand-
ers calculate "Allahl Allahl"-the
Arabic word for applause. If not
quito in accord with your prejudices
concerning music, well, maalaish
(never mind), it is not nearly so dis
tracing as a street cornet at home,
and they will go away if you tell
them to. The baboon, the donkey
and boy are in evidence, with a score
of performing tricks that are very
original and certainly funny, and you
console yourself with the hope of a
minimum of cruelty in the training.
A fruit seller, basket on head, with
luscious grapes and figs, saunters by
singing in quaint minor: 80
grapes, o sweet f"1pes, that are
larger than doves eggs and sweeter
than new creaml o angels food, de-
licious figs, bursting with honey, re-
storers of health!"
There is a drink seller, bent under
the weight of the odd-shaped jar
slung over his shoulder. lump Of
ice projecting from its mouth, con-
juring custom in a similar strain, as
he struts up and down, making the
air resound with the rythmical clap
clap of two brazen saucers: 30 re-
freshment of the weary! o quencher
of parched lips! o blessing of
heaveni"
Another street cry, which may be
heard in the main street of Abbas-
sieh Ga suburb), contains the follow
ing enticing announcement: "To-
morrowh, o people, 1 am going to
kill camel. The doctor says it is
young and healthy. Oh, its flesh will
be tender as the quail and juicy as
lamb. Its price is but one and half
piasters q cents) a pound. Do you
love the sweet flesh of a camel, then
come early and be satisfied"
Not the least picturesque figures
in the streets are the city police, in
their neat white drill and red tar
bouches in summer and blue serge in
winter.

That Forty Million Dollars In

the Bank Reserves.

New York, Oct. 1.-Secretary
Shaw was an early visitor at the sub
treasury Tuesday. Secretary Shaw
came to the financial district for the
purpose of discussing the situation
with bankers. His early callers in
cluded President Geo. f. Baker of the
First national bank, Francis L. Hyne
vice-president of that bank, and Vice
President Vanderlip of the City ma
tional bank. The secretary remained
down town the greater part of the
day. He expressed himself as being
gratified at the improvement shown
by the money outlook.
In an interview the secretary said
that all savings bank securities ac-
cepted by the treasury department in
place of government bonds would be
of the highest class, panic proof and
as good in London as in New York.

STATEMENT by SECRETARY SHAW.
The Secretary of the Treasury Explains
His Action.

The Secretary of the Treasury Explains
His Action.
New York, Oct. 1.-Secretary Shaw
gave out the following statement
Tuesday:
'"The department is in receipt of
large number of requests from vari-
Gus banks in the country, clearly
showing that the statement given out
Monday night was misunderstood, or
rather that it was not carefully read.
That there may be no misunderstand-
ing the following statement is made:
"No new deposits will be made on
any security other than government
bonds, so long as government bonds
can be secured. For the present
quently by borrowing, bonds other
than two per cent. consols. They
can obtain the use of these bonds for
a limited period, and they are as de-
sirable as any for security for de-
posits. They are not as desirable as
security for circulation, for the rea-
son that circulation based thereon is
taxable at one per cent, while cir
culation based on the twd per cent
consuls is taxable at only one-half OF
one per cent. The banks can not OBJ
tain except by purchase any bonds
as basis for circulation, because
when deposited for circulation they
can not be released until the circula-
ton is retired, and it may take a
year before their circulation can be
retired, and the price of bonds is so
high that bank circulation is main
tanned at considerable loss to the
banks. They must be encouraged, or
circulation constantly contracts.
Therefore, the department has de-
cided to release, for such banks as
have deposits and are not maintain
ing their limit of circulation, a por-
tion of the bonds now held by the
government, taking in lieu thereof
other satisfactory security, on condi-
tion always that the bonds released
will be used for the immediate issue
of additional circulation. This provi-
sion does not apply to those banks
that already have their maximum
circulation, neither does it apply t.
banks that do not have any deposits.
The sole purpose of the offer is TO in
crease circulation that is already
printed and ready to be issued, and
by banks that already have the bonds
on deposit. These deposits being
scattered throughout the entire coun-
try, the relief offered, it is believed,
win be national, rather than local,
for it applies TO all sections of the
country, and to every state in the
Union"
Secretary Shaw, during the after
noon, received number of kilograms
from q number of bankers from vari-
Gus sections of the country, com
mending his action.

Paris, Sept. 30.-Emil Zola, the nov.
elist, who gained additional promi-
nence in recent years because of his
defense of the Jews and of former
Capt. Dreyfus, was found dead in his
Paris house Monday morning. AS
phyxiation resulting from the fumes
from stove in his room is given as
the cause. NJ. Zola and his wife re-
tired at ten o'clock Sunday night.
Madame Zola was seriously i'll when
the room was broken into Monday
morning. At about noon she was
removed to a private hospital, where
she recovered consciousness for
short time, and was able briefly to
explain to a magistrate what had hap
pened. NJ. and Mime. Zola returned to
Paris from their country house at
Medan, Sunday. Owing to sudden
spell of cold weather the heating
stove in their bed room was ordered
to be lighted. The stove burned bad
ly, and the pipes of the stove are said
to have been out of order.
To the magistrate Nine. Zola ex-
planned that she woke early Monday
morning with a splitting headache.
She wakened her husband, and asked
him to open a window. She saw him
rise and attempt to move toward a
window, but he staggered and fell to
the floor unconscious. Nine. Zola
tainted at the same moment and was
Therefore unable to give the alarm.
Nine. Zola does not yet know ot
her husbands death, and it is feared
she may suffer a relapse when in
formed of it. 1t is thought. however,
that she will recover.
Death Caused Great Sensation.
The death of NJ. Zola, which only
afternoon, has caused a great sensa-
tion in Paris, and in the evening there
was a constant stream of callers at
the Zola residence. NJ. Zola's body
lies upon a divan in the center of
the spacious drawing room of his
house under a canopy of rare and
ancient hangings. The body is COW
cred with sheet and electric larAps
throw their vivid light upon the wax
like features of the dead.
The servants of the Zola household,
not hearing any movement in their
masters apartments Monday morn
ing, entered the bed room at half past
nine o'clock and found NJ. Zola lying
with his head and shoulders on the
floor, and his legs on the bed. Doc
tors were summoned, but they failed
to resuscitate him.
Nine. Zola was unconscious, but
after prolonged efforts on the par! of
the physicians she showed signs of
life, but it was some time before she
became conscious.
Death Was Accidental.
The commissary of police who was
summoned to the Zola residence said
in his report to the prefect of Paris;
''The heating stove was not lighted,
and there was no odor of gas. j. is
believed that NJ. Zola's death was due
to accidental poisoning by drugs.
A little dog found in the bed room
Is alive"
In a second report the commissary
# police indorsed the medical opin-
ion that NJ. Zola's death was accident
al ind due to asphyxiation.
NJ. Zola had been resting from
literary work since he finished his
book called "The Truth" which is
being published in serial form "a the
Aurrre.
NJ. Zola was born in Paris, April ?,
