The Ra shi-bazouk.
-HCTfH TIE BAKING POWDER TRUST
itmakes pure food.

Like each of the various clans of the
Kurds, the bashi-bazouk can easily be
distinguished by his costume. His
shoes or ''yemenys' (meaning leather)
are red Or black. His golflike stock
ings, which leave the knee exposed, are
deliberately embroidered in black, his
short Turkish trousers are of home
spun, while about his waist is short
sash Of wool or silk, surmounted by
heather belt in rich colors and embossed
in red. This is divided into three or
-Four sections, in which he keeps his re-
volver, his chibouk or pipe and his vat
Afghan, always kept sharp. The bashi-
bazouks never carry daggers, as the
Circassians do. A cartridge box hangs
from the side, as also a small silver
snuffbox. They wear two jackets
the under one with short sleeves and
the outside one with long. At the ell
bow is an opening in which they carry
in a leather bag written quotations
from the Koran as a talisman to pro-
tect them from the bullets of the ad-
versary. About the neck is a chain Of
silver coins, from which is suspended a
powder box

Monte Carlos Black List.

1t is usually imagined that any one
may enter the gambling saloons Of
Monte Carlo and try his or her luck at
the tables where roulette, trente-et-
quarante and baccarat are played. But
the Prince of Monaco has made rule
that no resident in his dominion is to
be allowed admission, and the privilege
is consequently denied his people"
The casino authorities decline admis-
sion on their own account to any per-
son who on a previous occasion may
have lost all his money at the tables
and may have had to ask for financial
assistance from them to procure a rail
way ticket for home.
To secure this money one goes to the
Office of the administration, which is
at the top of a steep staircase, and aft
er signing sundry documents the vic
tim has to sit to a photographer. This
photograph is preserved for future ref
erence, and the man who is on this
black list has very little chance Of re-
newing acquaintance with the gilded
saloons until he has repaid the debt.

wanted-Two Good Murderers.

Some curious letters passed between
Garrick and a man named Stone. The.
latter was employed to get recruits for
the low parts of the drama, and one.
night he wrote to Garrick, "Sir, the.
bishop of Winchester is getting drunk
at the Bear and swears he will not
play tonight
AT first sight this seems peculiar
conduct for bishop, but it should be
explained that the communication only
refers to the man engaged to take that
character in the play of Henry VIII
On another occasion Garrick wrote
to Stone: IF you can get me two good
murderers l will pay you handsomely.

NOME VESSEL MAY BE LOST
Eighty Nine Passengers Bound for Far
North Are Aboard Ship-Inspectors
Delay Date of Sailing.

Tacoma, Wash, May A.-The
steamer Corwin, which sailed on May
II, with eighty-nine passengers from
Seattle to Nome, is reported as prob
ably lost. 1t is reported from Victoria
that wreckage, thought to be of the
vessel, has been found on the west of
Vancouver island.
Detained in port for a week by
United States inspectors, owing to COM
plants of passengers booked to sail on
her, who declared she was overloaded
and dangerous, she finally got away,
but only after all freight had been
stored in the holds. Tacoma shipping
men, who saw the steamer before she
sailed, express the fear that she is lost.
The Corwin had quite a list and
seemed to be heavy and unseaworthy.
Among the passengers lost are many
who were returning to Nome with
mining machinery to develop their
claims. A number of women and one
Or two children are. among the pas
sengers.

HIGH WATERS IN THE WEST
Eight Persons Have Been Drowned in
Colorado and Wyoming and Many
Are in Danger.

Denver. May 23.-Eigbt lives are
known to have been lost in Colorado
and Wyoming in raging foods that
were started by cloudbursts, and near
Cheyenne many persons are missing.
Scores Of other people are in danger
and can hardly escape if the big irri-
cation reservoir in the mountains
yields to the pressure and bursts. In
mense damage was done in Colorado
along the Cache Ia Poudre river. The
dam at Lake Livingston gave way be-
fore the flood.
The towns of Livermore, LapoIte,
Wellington and part of Fort Collins
are under five feet of water. Five iron
bridges and two railway bridges have
been swept away and miles Of the
Colorado and Southern railway track
are washed out. The Union Pacific
tracks also are badly damaged. Thou
sands of acres of ranch and farm land
are inundated and a great many cat
tie have been drowned. Several other
streams are threatening to overflow
because of the rains.

A Unique Character.

Rufus Story, a peculiar man and a
New York merchant, daringly manip-
ulated the coffee and spice markets in
the middle of the nineteenth century.
On one occasion when he owned a
large quantity of coffee the market
rapidly declined. His ruin was pre-
dicted. What are you going to doY'
I asked him.
"Why," he said, with shrewd wink,
II shall buy several thousand bags
more and steady the market"
He came out of this speculation and
almost every other in which he en-
barked with success. He commenced
business in butter and eggs and be-
came the master of the spice market
of the world. Once he imported an en-
tire cargo of pepper. He had only a
dim idea of where coffee and spice
came from, and usually spoke of the
places as "way off," His books were
kept by single entry, as he refused to
understand any other system. A small
paper memorandum carried in the lin
ing of his high hat was his chief re-
lance in regard to his business affairs.
He was one of the founders of the Ma
tional Broadway bank.-Town Topics.

an explosion in the two drying rooms
of the Lake Shore Novelty company's
plant here seven person are known
to be dead. five are so seriously hurt
that recovery is believed to be impos-
sible, and twelve or fifteen are injured
badly. From reports Of the physicians
ten of the less seriously injured may
die as result of blood poisoning from
the potash that was driven into their
bodies. The dead are: Joseph Sher-
wood, Jay Sherwood, Edith Dillon,
Dean Shaw, Mary Snider = all per-

all killed instantly. Estella Decker,

Republican Split in Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis, May 2O.-Anti- third
termers headed by Judge Baensch
and Samuel A. Cook bolted the regu-
lar Republican convention held in this
city, organized another convention and
nominated Cook for governor The
convention. had the support of Sena-
tors Spooner and Quarles and Repre-
sentative Babcock. The regular con-
vention renominated Governor La
Toilette and the remainder of the
present state officers. Both conven-
tons elected delegates-at-large to Chi
cago, which insures a contest when
the national Republican convention
meets.
