An Apurehensive Comedian.

Frank Moulan. comedian, is consid-
.rably interested in the movements
Of one Hadji Mohammed Janolulu XII
Ram, self-imposed brother of the
Sun, the man of numerous wives. Mr..
Moulan. as Is well known. follows the
occupation of impersonating HIRAM
on the stage in this country. and SO
long as the real sultan remained in
his little domain and the stage sultan
was separated from him by broad
expanse of water and yellow fever
germs. the job had no Objectionable
features. But the real sultan. it
seems. has been considerably assimi-
lated during the past two years, and
has absorbed few lofty American
ideas. One of these is a strong con-
viction that his constitution demands
change of climate. A short time
ago Ki-Ram tapped the royal treasury
for liberal allowance and set out for
Singapore to see the sights. When he
got this far away from home he liked
the change so well that he authorized
the announcement that he was coming
to America next season and would APP
pear in due time at the st. Louis ex-
position. This promises fine for the
real ki-Ram. but has sent a thrill of
apprehension up the spinal column of
Mculan. for MIR. Ssvage's production
of THE Sultan is booked for st.
Louis next summer. Now the come
dian is trying to figure out how this
semi-savage aristocrst will act If he
should happen TO stroll into the thea
ter some evening and discover, the lib
critics that have been taken with him.
Just now" says Mr.. Moulan. Il
am not particularly interested in steel
curtains. but would like very much
to talk TO some individual of an in
veative turn OF mind. who can devise
a contrivance that will protect an act
OF against war clubs and bolo knives.
| am afraii. this man HIRAM might
develop into a ticklish. troublesome
sort of an individual if he found out
what we have been doing to him."

a nine-mile circuit from the sea. From
the sea one gets an enchanting vision
of churches, palaces, houses and ter
raced gardens. In the heart of all this
splendor the inevitable electric street
I car runs. These lines come to COM
mon center at the Garibaldi statue, in
the Piazza de Ferrari. Genoa also has
its university, its hospitals. the larg-
est theater in Italy and its cathedral
dates from the year 9S5.
It requires five hours in an express
train to reach Rome from Genoa, and
twice as long to reach the Eternal
City from Naples. The tourist natur-
ally is usually inclined to spend the
time to make journey to one of the
wonder cities of the world.
Naples, on its beautiful bay, is ever
associated with Vesuvius. whose
smoking cone is striking figure in
the background. The trip up the vol
cano is neither difficult nor particular
ly dangerous except at tiInesr$ei<
known in advance, and a visit to the
excavated city of Pompeii is only
SnOrI journey.
After Naples. the wizard Isle of
Capri is usually visited. Here the
inhabitants are practically supported.

number about $4,000 year
Palermo, the beautiful city on the
island of Sicily. and the British Isle
of Malta, are likely to be visited, If
one has Egypt as an objective.
This is the best time of year for
trip up the Nile, although one will find
much of curious interest in Alexan
dria, the home OF the Khedive. or
Cairo, the old capital. Here the tour
list finds himself in the land of the
Arabian Nights, and he who has his
Thousand and One Nights well
learned will feel at home in the midst
of this strange civilization. From
Cairo, trips up the Nile. visits to the
pyramids. a look in at the Sphynx.

While waiting for him I got into con

greatly admired theatrical people and
loved to talk with them. He had met
a number and was tolerably familiar
with their ways. Turning to me, he
said:
