AMERICAN GIRL IN EGYPT.
Her Quick Wit Saved Her From an
Unpleasant Experience.

FROM the New Orleans Times Democrat
II Is not generally known said a man
VINO mas lately returned from a visit to
lndia and Egypt, that pretty Ameri-
can and European girls who travel in the
east must exercise the greatest caution in
keeping with their travelling parties. There
are numerous instances where girls have
disappeared and have never been heard of
a1terward-being spirited away by the en-
1ssaries of some wealthy Indian prince or
merchant to form part of his household.
once within the walls of Mussulman's
harem woman is as safe a prisoner as ii
she were confined in the strongest dungeon
miles away from civilization. We came very
near losing one of the girls of our party at
Cairo. This young woman was from New
fork-taH and beautiful She took a no.
ton to wander about the streets of Cairo
alone-to look in the shop windows. Say
ing nothing to her chaperon or any one
else. she sauntered out bravely. attired in
a pink dress and large pink hat and
carrying dainty UMBRELLAS picture that
would have rejoiced the heart of any man
from the west or from the east. In a
street she was attracted by the window OF
jeweler. Gems of all descriptions gleam
ed In attractive and bizarre settings
She told us afterward that the owner of
the shop was Hindu prince, but Hindu
prince does not usually sell jewelry and il
Is not unlikely that she herself annobled
the man in order to make her story more
romantic. AT any rate, she entered the
shop. The devout Mussuman, a handsome
man. with grave, serious countenance,
lighted by large, dark, meditative eyes,
came forward and greeted her politely. So
she asked to see some of his diamonds
He showed her numerous gems of great
beauty. but finally told her that his most
precious stones were in safe at the rear
of the store, and that he would like her
TO see them. She acquieSced, and walked
with him to a little safe. Opening 1t he
took out tray, upon which were some of
the largest and most beautiful diamonds
she had ever seen. She gaZed upon them
In rapture, and forgot all about the man.
All these are yours If you will be my
Wife said the jeweler L will make you
my chief wife. You shall be as the light of
heaven to me-
This was much swifter than ANYTHING
the young woman had experienced from her
western woOerS. She was, however self
possessed. She had often turned down
such offers, and so she quietly refused the
gltttering offer of the jeweler. Then he
offered her the finest diamond in the tray
II she would allow him to kiss her. Then
the young woman began to be afraid There
was no one else in the store. She remem-
bered the warnings, but, summoning I'D
her native American wit, she calmly told
the man that her father and seven brothers
had made an appointment to meet her at
the store in a few minutes. This seemed
to stagger the ardent easterner, and before
he had recovered she had backed out of the
store and was making all sail to find her
party"

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
General and Personal News From
Montgomery County's Capital.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd, August "a, 1903.
The republican state central committees
for Frederick and Montgomery counties
held a meeting at Point of Rocks today
for the purpose of determining whether or
not to call primaries to choose delegates
to judicial convention to nominate a can
didate for chief judge of the 9Th judicial
circuit, composed of the two counties.
Messrs John U. Markell, William A.
Harry, Albert M. Patterson Benjamin
Rosenour. George L. kaufman and Roger
Motter represented Frederick county, and
Messrs Willis B. Burdette, Henry M. Lin
dig, Charles F. Kirk and George F. Will
liams acted on behalf Of Montgomery
county. A number of other prominent
party workers was also on hand Mr.
Harry presided and Mr.. Burdette acted as
secretary.
Following a brief discussion it was de-
cided to issue a call for primaries Satur-
day, September 3, when delegates will be
chosen to county conventions to be held
the following Monday. The county con-
ventions will select delegates to judicial
convention to be held at Point Of Rocks
on Thursday, September 10.
1t is understood that several prominent
members of the party in Frederick county
will make an effort to prevent the conven-'
ton from naming a candidate, but II Is
believed that the gathering will not under
take to ignore sthe almost unanimous de.
mand of the rank and file of the party in
both counties for nomination, and it is
safe to assert that Judge McSherry, the
democratic nominee, will have opposition. /,

fruit as should be allowed to mature.
The report of President Logan states
that all Elberta peaches north of

WINTER WHEAT PROMISING.
N"st ana Insects Have Appeared fn
some Counties In Southern
Missouri.

Washington, April 29-The follow.
ing is summary of the weather bu-
reau's weekly crop report: Nearly
the whole of the country east of the
Rocky mountains experienced unsea-
sonabiy low temperatures during the
week ending April %. and while the
rainfall in the central valleys has
been light. considerable areas receiv-
ing no appreciable amount. farm
work has made very slow progress in
consequence of the wet soil and low
temperatures. AS in the previous
week corn planting has made slow
progress. more particularly over the
central and eastern portions of the
corn belt, but better progress has
been made in Kansas and Nebraska,
and preparations for planting have
been vigorously carried on in Iowa
and portions of Illinois.
While the condition OF winter
wheat continues very promising
slight deterioratioS is indicated over
the central and eastern portions of
the wheat belt as result of excessive
moisture and low temperatures. Rust
and insects have appeared in some
counties in southern Missouri and in
Nebraska and portions of Kansas the
crop would be helTed by rain. Spring
wheat seeding is well advanced over
the northern portion of the spring
wheat region, and. under favorable
conditions, will be practically COM
pleted in the central districts during
the coming week. Satisfactory germi-
nation and good stands are reported
from South Dakota and Iowa. In the
northern Rocky mountain districts
and on the north Pacific coast seed
ing is progressing fayorably. In the
Missouri and central Mississippi val
leys oat seeding has been we'll adj
vanced but in the Ohio valley much
seeding remains to be done. In Texas
the crop is much in need of rain.
East of the Mississippi river early
cotton has been injured by cold, and
much replanting will be necessary.
West of the Mississippi planting, al
though well advanced, has been large
ly suspended during the past week on
account of drought. The past week
has been very unfavorable to fruit in
the states east of the Mississippi riv-
er, frosts being general on the 23d
as the northern portion of the central
and eastern gulf states. with more or
less damage to earlier varieties.
