BElRUT'S RELIGIOUS FEUD.
Cause of Trouble Ascribed to Enmity
Between Two Powerful Tribes.

cause of Trouble Ascrtbed to Enmtty
Between Two Powerful Tribes.
Mr.. William Ordway Partridge of
New York city. who went through tn.
east last year for material to be used
in his art studies, thinks that the trou.
bles at Beirut are due to the enmity
between the Druses and Maronites,
two powerful tribes always at swords
points with each other, says the New
York Herald.
Beirut" he says, being a port and
the end Of the caravan route from Da.
mascus, is the meeting place for all the
guides and attendants from these cara.
vans, and there is constant turmoil be-
tween them. While | was there two
or three murders night were of COM
mon occurrence. Beirut is beautiful
spot twenty miles from old Tyre and
Sidon. The American college has done
a great work there, but 1t counts really
for very little.
"The Christians reported killed there
probably belong to the Druses or the
Maronite tribe. The Druses look for
English protection and the Maronites
favor the French. The Druses have
queer, mysterious religion they keep
secret from every one. In its tenets it
is said to be something like the Uni
tartan creed. The Druses and Maron.
ties hate each other cordially. These
tribes are the important factors in the
Beirut situation and the overhanging
mountains of Lebanon"

Automobile For Card Players.

A new thing in automobiles appeared
on the streets Of London recently, says
the New York Herald. 1t might be de-
scribed as cabin on wheels. The
hinder part Of the car had large win
dows on all four sides. Inside were
four seats, each in q corner, and down
the middle ran a table covered with
green baize. This table, as the auto
mobile stopped for minute in Charing
Cross road, was being used by two
women who were playing cards, quite
unconcerned at the crowd which gath
cred and stared at them. In another
corner of the vehicle lounged man
reading a newspaper. Outside of the
back step was black tiger resplendent

quate for so gorgeous conveyance,

FUTURE OF FURS.
Mole skins Fashionable For Gowns.
Ermine Losing Ground.

Madam will have TO pay more for
her furs this year than ever before,

says the New York Press. The de.
mand for fashionable furs is unprece-
dented. Moreover, fur will be worn on
evening gowns, fashion that pre-.
vailed twenty years ago. Mrs. Astor
anticipated this decree of the fashion
experts, and last year at her ball she
wore emerald velvet with peignoirs
edged with sable. Another woman of
fashion, Lady Bache Cunard, wore an
ermine mantle with her evening gown,
and the Countess de Cestellane's sable
stole never was dropped from her
shoulders at the opera. Heads of ami

SKIPPER WRlNGE'S AMBITION
In Becoming an American He Hopes
TO Sail q Cup Defender.

~ '@@s - ~
Captain Bob wringe. who as skipper
OF Shamrock III. has just finished do
ing the best he could to win the Amer
ica's cup for Sir Thomas Upton, de-
clared recently that he is done with
sailing Shamrocks or any other British
challengers, and his present ambition
is to command a defender of the tro-
ply. On top of this he announced his
intention TO Immediately take the first
step toward that end and become nat
uralized from a Briton into good
American citizen, says the New York
World.
Immediately after Shamrocks I. and
Ill. are disposed of or laid up In Erie
basin, the present alternative, Bob
Wringe will cross over TO Britlingsea,
Essex, and pack up his chattels. stow
them and his family aboard liner and
bring the whole outfit here to locate
somewhere on Long Island. Then Great
Britain will have again lost her best
big yacht sailor, as she did when Char.
lie Barr forswore his allegiance to II.
r. NJ.
81 have decided to live in the United
States In future" said Captain Wringe.
Il formed liking for the country when
l came here with Captain Hogarth in
Shamrock l., and in 1901, when | sailed
the Mineola. | decided to stay here.
But Sir Thomas offer caused me to
throw up the Belmont contract and 60
on the other side again. Now, how
ever, | am going to stay here.
Perhaps in time | will sail a cup
defender. At any rate, there will be q
fair chance Of my getting one some
time. Meanwhile all I can hope is that
| will some time have an opportunity
to sail against Captain Barr In yacht
that is at least in the class with the
one he commands. l respect Captain
Barr's magnificent ability, but l do
say-and Captain Barr will bear me
out-that had no chance to show any
seamanship against a yacht that could
sail rings around me.
Captain Barr said that when he
called on me the day after the last
race. Several times, he admitted, we
had the Reliance in tight place, and
she slipped out of 1t simply because
we were not fast enough to hold her."
Beyond doubt Captain Wringe will
be In charge Of one Of the large racers
next season, for shippers who are in
the first rank In the art of handling
that class Of vessels are lamentably
scarce. Captain Wringe has an offer
from the owner Of one sloop in the sew
enty footer class.

Lessons Learned From the Disaster
In Paris.


The Berlin Tageblatt reports that,
Notwithstanding the assura nee of the
electrical underground railway author
tiles in Berlin to the effect that the line
is proof against accident similar to that
which occurred recently in Paris, the
official commission appointed to inves-
tigate the conditions under which the
line Is worked has ordered the installa-
ton Of number Of additional safety
appliances.
These include the more adequate
lighting of the tunnels by system en-
tirely impervious to external influences.
1t has also been decided that any EN-
ployee on the trains shall be enabled
to shut off the currents at any point so
as to prevent the approach of other
trains.
Experiments are to be made with a
special air shaft capable Of dispelling
the most binding smoke. All the men
employed on the line are to undergo a
special drill to enable them to act
promptly in cases Of emergency. Print
ed instructions are also to be issued to
the public. The company Is especially
asked to avoid overcrowding.
