TURKISH BATHS IN TURKEY.
Perhaps They Are Genuine, But They
Are Not at All Agreeable.
From the Hygienic Gazette.

From the Hygienic Gazette.
About the first real craving that
strikes the unsophisticated American
or Englishman upon his arrival IN
Damascus is the desire for Turk
ish bath right on the spot where the
famous bath was originated" said
traveller. His next decision is that
New York or a London turkish pain
is about as far ahead of the Damascus
article as mothers pies beat the pax
er's. In view of the eastern origin of
these baths l naturally expected to
find something of a luxury.
Entering one of the finest baths In
the city, l was at first sight much
pleased with the general appearance
of things. Dog of a Christian that
was, I entered a large open court, IN
the center of which gushed a splen-
did fountain, while the scene all about
was at first impression one of an orlen-
tai fairyland. All around the fountain
on raised platforms were combination
chair-couches upon which orientals
were lolling as only orientals can.
Some were reclining, some mapping,
some slipping coffee, some smoking the
narghileh, some chatting, and one was
going through the red tape contortions
required by Allah when the ninety-nine
Moslem prayers are offered.
LAS if to carry out the fairyland idea,
instead of being conducted to a private
room, in conformity with the views of
propriety of the western dog of an un-
believer, L was expected to disrobe be-
fore the miscellaneous audience: also,
before the audience in the street when
ever the door was opened. My clothes
/ had to store in a drawer under my
couch. The publicity of the disrobing
act was modified somewhat, however,
by the attendants, who, by the use of
towels. formed temporary screen.
After this they gave me wooden SAN
dals with high strips fastened to the
soles, which converted them into a
sort of high silt. 1 saw no use for this
contrivance excepting to further the
chances of breaking my neck. With
these stills On / was taken to the hot
room, where there was temperature
not higher than that of New York city
on a hot summers night. After re-
naming here some time there was some
slight rubbing and a deal of leg-pulling
and arm jerking.
Desiring a shower bath, a believer
in the true faith aimed a garden hose
at me with such a sharp stream that 1
had all the shower l wanted in three
seconds Then they wrapped me in a
Turkish towel and turbanned my head
for me, and led me to a couch and babe
me rest. l rested. wishing for an hour
in my favorite Turkish bath in New
York city. far from the land of Allah.
within earshot of the cIanking trolley
car and in a district over which reigns
only Shek Tim Sullivan.
AS a mere idea of satisfying curl
osity nothing can top the visit to the
Damascus baths. But, unlike the
Turkish fig, the Turkish bath is not
at its best when sampled on the spot"

a bad switch Immediately after emery

over the crossties for several hundred
yards before it could be stopped When
the cars left the track the convicts,
most of whom were negroes. made
frantic efforts to escape from what
seemed probably injury or death The

the terrified negroes to sit down and

accident occurred is matter of sur

presumption is that in stepping from

train, five cars and the caboose passing
over his body. Death was practically
instantaneous, the lower half of the
body being terribly crushed and

The first barge of the Atlantic Power
Barge Company was launched day be-
fore yesterday at Pecomoke City, at
the shipyards of the E ]. TuI Com
pany.
The barge is an innovation so far as
the carrying of merchandise and
freight is concerned. Small sailing
craft, canal boats, lighters and scows
are almost entirely dependent on the
power of tug TO move them from one
place TO another. In the type of barge
designed by the company, besides haV-
ing motive power by means of a gaso-
line engine there is also machinery for
loading and discharging cargoes with
out the necessity of employing outside
help.
The vessel is a single-deck wooden
boat, with two matches, each thirty
four feet long. with a single pole mast
amidship fitted with the necessary
booms and gear. On deck are two
powerful winches. The customary
windlass is placed forward, while aft
there is the deck house. with the pilot
house on top.
The vessel is attracting a great deal
of attention from merchants and ship
pers in general. She will be 1872 feet
over hull, % feet 10 inches beam and
depth of hold 10 feet inches. The
maximum draft with 500 tons cargo
will be 10 feet inches.

SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at Acc, sales STA casks,
and closed firm and unchanged, sales
7S casks. Throughout the day the de-
mand was quiet, with exporters in
quiring sparingly and showing no dis
position to bid against each other for
the offerings. To some of the trade
this seemed strange in view of what
is claimed to be a coming let up in the
receipts as a result of the check to
operations in the forests following the
cooler and more unfavorable weather.
Reports from many of the more i'm
portant producing sections in Florida
are to the effect that it will be some
time before operations can be resumed
upon a large scale even when higher
temperatures come. The days receipts
were 1888 casks, and the exports SS7
casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm and unchanged from yesterday,
sales of 3SS barrels, and closed firm at
the prices below, sales Gel barrels.
The demand was fairly good. No urg-
ency is shown in any quarter, how
ever, and there was no bidding for
stuff that promised any higher market
for the time being. Receipts 1,7SS bar
rels, and the exports 5S2 barrels. Prices

sire is reached. The present situation
in cotton is puzzle to every trader; nc
matter how long he has been in the
business, except those who are on the
inside. At the opening June was down
10 points; July Is, August 8, and the
new crop months 4 to points lower.
