Widener and Elkins.

Written for The Evening Star by Thomas G. Visk
Within the last decade new king has
sprung up-the street railway king. He is
always American and almost invariably he
has been evolved from a poor boy. He Is
the practical man to whom American cities
are looking for solutions of their transporta-
ton problems, and he Is the man who Is
spending millions upon millions in his eff
forts to meet the demands Of continually in
creasing centers of population. Representa-
tive of his class are H. H. Vreeland Of New
York. Charles T. Yerkes Of Chicago, Murray
Werner and Judge j. H. Reed of Pittsburg
and P. A. B. Widener and William L. FL
kins of Philadelphia.
But although the transportation problem
Is far from solved in this country, the
American street railway king is already
reaching out into foreign fields. Charles T.
Yerkes is going to give London a modern
underground system; Murray Werner Is lay
ing electric railways in the capital OF the
car. st. Petersburg, and nearly every Eu-
ropean city that can boast of up-to-date
systems of transportation has to acknowl-
edge that American money and American
brains have figured largely In the consum-
nation.

railway magnate abroad. Like the ma
Jority Of his fellows. he started with moth
ing except an indomitable determination to
amount to somebody some day. 1t was this
ambition that sent him from his fathers
farm in Western Pennsylvania to Pitts
burg, where. after knocking around for
several weeks looking for job, he seized
on an opportunity to become a horse car
driver. His knowledge of horses. gained on
the farm, stood him in good stead, and it
was soon noticed that his car was hardly
ever behind it's schedule and his horses al
ways in good condition. This led to young
Verner's transfer to the car barns as stable
boss. Here he remained for several years,
saving his employers thousands of dollars
in horsef1esh.
AS a reward for this piece of business he
was graduated into a more responsible posi-
tion where, in the words of one of his old
employers, Murray did the work of two
men in half the time they would have taken

PETTY sWINDLING.
Need Of a Law to Cover All At
temptS,

tempts.
There have been so many recent attempts
at swindling in this city," said an old and
experienced police officer this morning,
that the public should be on its guard
against being taken in by plausible schemes
worked by smooth-tongued persons.
And this brings up the fact that there
should be a law passed making 1t an Of
tense to attempt to swindle in the District
The person who would perpetrate conf
dence game should not be allowed his lib
erty because his efforts were unsuccessful.
1.-THE law should be general in its scope
so as to cover all attempts at swindling.
For instance, man may solicit of citizen
a subscription for a certain book, say one
Of the biographical sketches, which it is
stated is about to be published. The citizen
gives this individual a sketch of his life
and probably his photograph and sum of
money varying upon the amount he can be
worked for. As time passes and the book
is not forthcoming the citizen begins to
make inquiry. If the alleged agent can be
reached he puts off the citizen, the agent
feeling secure, because In the contract the
time for the delivery of the alleged book
was not stated. The agent defends him
self by stating that the book is in course
Of preparation and it remains in the
course of preparation Indefinitely. Again,
in cases like this, the citizen does not like
to acknowledge that he had been taken in,
and the Swindler escapes punishment by the
loophole shown.
LAS showing the need Of the law here
there are many other instances as where
attempts are made to obtain goods under
false pretenses. Where a person attempts
to commit crime and fails he ought to be
punished about as severely as If he had
consummated his evil design. 1t seems
to be harder to secure convictions in cases
of swindling than in other offenses, perhaps
mainly because in most of these cases there
is more less of consent and affirmation
on the part of the swindled. An act which
would punish an unsuccessful attempt
would go great way toward the protection

The Ladder Of Saint Augustine.

saint Augustine! well hast thou said
mat or our vices we can frame
A ladder. IL We will but tread
beneath our feet each deed of shsmaf
All common things. each DAYS events
mat with the hour begin and end,
Our pleasures and our discontents
Are rounds by which we may ascend.
The low desire, the base design.
IT, hhat makes another's virtues lessJ :
Inc reyel of the ruddy wine,
And all occasions Of excess; d.
The longing for ignoble things:
The strife for triumph more than TRUTH
me hardening OF the heart, that brings
Irreverence for the dreams Of youth;
All thoughts Of Ill; all evil deeds.
That have their root in thoughts Of ult
Whatever binders or impedes
The action Of the nobler will
All these must first be trampled down
Beneath our feet, IL we would gain
In the bright fields Of fair renown
The right Of eminent domain.
We have not wings, we cannot soar:
But we have feet to scale and climb
BY slow degrees, by more and more
The cloudy submits Of our time.
The mighty pyramids Of stone
That wedgelike cleaye the desert airs,
When nearer seen, and better known,
Are but gigantic flights Of stairs.
The distant mountains that uprear
Their solid bastions to the skies
Are crossed by pathways that appear
As We to higher levels rise.
The heights by great men reached and kepe
We're not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
Standing on what too long we bore
With shoulders bent and downcast eyes,
We may discern-unseen before
path to higher destinies.
Nor deem the irrevocable past
As wholly wasted, wholly vain,
If, rising on its wrecks, at last
To something nobler We attain.

told. The colors were still well preserved,
and the pictures showed the life and his
tory of centuries before Christ and of a
nation and kings whose names have been
only legends for twenty centuries.
The travellers had been in the castle a lit
tie more than an hour when shots rang
outside. Rushing forth. they found a hot
fight on between their escort and horde Of
desert robbers.
The AustrianS unslung their rifles and
pitched in. But the party was hopelessly
outnumbered, and within few minutes the
robbers had cut out the laden pack camelS
and driven them off.
For time it seemed that all was los.,
for even the drinking water had been
taken. But the sheik, who had recognized
the raiders as belonging to q southern
tribe, declared that despite their number
he proposed to surprise their camp in the
night and win back the spoils.
But this desperate expedient was render
ed unnecessary, for the sheik managed to
get into communication with the robbers,
and when they learned who he was they
brought back everything that they had
taken, even to the bits on the canlels.
For sixteen days thereafter the Austrians
made measurements, sketches and photo
graphs. When they had done all that they
could they returned by new route, which
enabled them to visit many other historic
places in the deserts.
During the voyage they were attacked
five times, but their MannIiche- riff - help

lance and to beat them off without loss.
DR.. Musil's Last Tour
Last autumn DR.. Musi started for Arabia
once more. This time he visited part Of
the country to which the emir and his
brother could not accompany him, and he
entered the deserts camel driver. When
this disguise had become dangerous, owing
to the suspicious Of the fanatic desert folk
among whom he was, he assumed the garb

of a physician. For part of his explora-
ton he passed as merchant with a cara
van bound for Muscat.
At last he was seized and robbed The
raiders took his camel, which bore not only
all his money, but also all his collections
and provisions.
For fourteen days he wandered through
the sands on foot, with no shelter and no
food except a few dried dates. Then he
found a powerful chief, who not only sue
cored him, but. in consideration of a part
OF the spells, hunted out the robbers and
got back the collections that DR.. Musil had
made.
A second time the explorer was seized by
a chief. who set him free Only after DR..
Musil had given him all OF his money and
supplies. But he managed to keep his COL
lections, and finally reached Vienna with
them, where they are now serving as the
material for a series Of reports on unknown
Arabia.

Egypt's Future.

From African Commerce.
Chief interest has been hitherto shown in
Egypt under the British regime in reliev-
ing the fellaheen and promoting agricul-
ture. restoring the land flowing with milk
and honey" on which ancient history is so
voluminous. Both our information and our
precedence are sadly defective II in the
very near future we do not see Egypt and
the Sudan forcing their way prominently
on public attention as still rich in the pre-
cious metals.

cept stories of fights with Bedouins and
narrow escapes. None of them saw the
"Ghost Palace" and in the course of time
men leaned to the belief that Amra the
Beautiful was fiction of Arabia.
DIR. Musil was more fortunate. In 1900
he had made a short visit to Arabia and
had won the friendship of one of the most
powerful OF the Arab rulers, Emir Tajjal,
the chief of the Benz Sachr. the Sons of
the Rocks" He accompanied him on
fighting expedition against another tribe
and his services as surgeon had endeared
him to the old Arab.
The Arab of Poets.
The Emir Tajjal was an Arab of the ira
dictionary kind. Throughout the deserts.
from end to end Of the peninsula. he was
equally honored for his integrity and no.
bilty OF character and feared for his
power
So. when DR.. Musil accompanied by his
friend, Alphons Leopold Mielich. the paint
er, arrived in Madaba on the desert from
tier in 1901. prepared to search for Anira.
the watchfulness OF the Turkish authcri-
ties was set at naught by his Arab friends.
The Turks, suspecting the object of tho
Austrians. warned them that they would
be arrested II they tried to leave the place.
But one night they evaded the guards and
made their way to a rendezvous in the
desert Just outside of Madaba.
Here Sheik HAZEL, the brother of the
emir. and as noble-hearted as That emir
himself. met them with seven camels of the
purest breed to be found In Arabia Armed
Bedouins guarded the outfit, while others
crept into the town and smuggled out the
travellers effects.
Then the two Austrians were CARRIED by
the Arabs In the favorlte disguise of the
men of the Arabian Nights stories-that of
physicians, Musil being named the physi-
clan Musa and Mielich. the physician
Hanna.
Shfek HAZEL had spared no expense. That
involved no financial hardship for him,
however. for DIR. Musil says that he Is so
wealth.

tribute, and every caravan that goes be-
