ION PERICARDIS
THE STORY OF HIS CAPTIVITY
Bandit RaisuIi Said the Only Way to
Influence the Moorish Govern
ment Was to Capture Eu-
ropeans.

Tangier. June 26-Ion Perdicaris.
| the American who last week was re-
leased by the brigand Raisuli. was
much better to-day. and gave the As
| scciated Press an interview descriptive
of the circumstances of his capture and
of his experiences while a prisoner in
| Raisuli's camp.
He says that on the night of May
18th he had just entered the drawing
| room after dinner and, hearing a noise
| among the servants, he and Cromwelb
| Varley, the British subject who was al
| so captured by Raisuli. went out to In
| vestigate the cause They were imme-
diately surrounded by armed Moors,
who bound and maltreated them. Var
| ley resisted and was struck on the head
| with the butt of rifle and knife was
slashed across his hands. making SER
ious wounds. At first it was thought
| Varley's skull had been fractured.
Perdicaris and Varley were then car
ried away on horseback. They were
| bound with ropes. and roundabout
| roads were taken in order to avoid vii
| lagos. The bandits stopped at Tsarra-
dent. twenty-four hours from Tangier.
| and Raisuli allowed Perdicaris to write
| to his wife the next morning, and also
to the shereef of Wazan. asking him to
intervene for himself and Varley.
At Tsarradent the captives lived In a
| filthy hut They were not allowed to
go 100 yards away from it, and were
strongly guarded When the shereef
of Wazan arrived big tent was placed
at the disposal of the prisoners and iii
other ways the shereef was the means
of alleviating their condition to con-
siderable extent.
The attitude of the Moors changed
from insult to fair treatment.
Spies of the pretender, who were in
the camp all the time, tried to induce
Varley to accept a post under the pre-
! tender
Raisuli daily called and held long
| conversations with the prisoners. He
said anarchy was reigning in the coun-
try. The animosity of the people. he
( said. was not directed against the Sui
| tan, but against his governors.
Raisuli's father. Perdicaris. said, left
him much property and cattle. which
aroused the animosity of the Kaids.
who induced the bashaw by presents to
lob Raisuli Of his belongings and final
ly to imprison him for four years at
Mogador.
On his release Raisuli interviewed
Mohammed Ell Torres, representative of
the Sultan at Tangier, concerning the
restitution of his property, and this be-
ing without avail, Raisuli swore to
take the law into his own hands with
the results already known.
Raisuli said that he bore no i'll will
toward the Europeans. but stated that
| the only way to bring the Moorish
| government to its senses was by cap
turing Europeans until foreign powers
awaken to a realization of the existing
| conditions.
| Mr.. Perdicaris said that Raisuli was
posing as a patriot who wants to see
the country happy and peaceful, and he
is offering to accept the responsibility
for maintaining the country from Tan
ger to Fez. and clear it of robbery and
crime il he is backed up by the powers.
He found in Raisuli an educated and
| intellectual man.

The Theatre.

The next two offerings ut the Kyle
theatre are of a character that arc
rot likely to attract the more part'c'
ular class of the amusement loving
public. BeaUmontcrs will remember
Darkest Russia as being n of the
poorest plavs of last season. 1t has
no dramatic interest and is a very
poor vehicle for any kind of dramatic
talent and the cast last ear was not
n ten. twenty and thirty cent average.
The Enterprise had hoped that some
OF the worthless pays of last season
would never return to Beaumont but
the pro]prietOrs of Darkest Russia
must figure that people forget. The
Georgia Ministries arc fair for col
ored talent and draw the cOlorcd con

darkoy on the stage.

TALK ON BEAUMONT
BY OHIO BANKER
EMORY J. SMITH OF COLUMBUS
PREDICTS GREAT FUTURE
FOR THE CITY.

He Predicts That Within a Few Years
Deep Water viii Be Had, and a

most about Beaumont" said Mr.. EN-
Org j. Smith, Of Columbus, Ohio, In
conversation with an Enterprise re-
porter yesterday afternoon, lis the
positive assurance that some day, not
far distant, there will he Il great city
here"
This sentiment, coming from Mr..
Smith, should carry more than ordi'
nary weight. Mr.. Smith Is n banker
and capitalist of Columbus, and is rec
Ognizcd us one OF the leading iinnn'
Ciers OF the Buckeye state. He has
interests in this section to the extent
Of about $780, O0, but this is only his
second visit TO Beaumont. His head
quarters are at Columbus. Coming
into the town practically a stranger,
Knowing comparatively little of local
industrial and commercial onditions,
the statement of Mr.. Smitnh that his
impressions, after being here two
days and mingling with the business
men. that a great city will some time
occupy the site of Beaumont, means
something.

Deep Water Assured.

1T looks 10 me as if deep water is
hound to come 'or the town sooner or
later, perhaps later, but sure to come
just the same. The mere fact that
only nine miles of shallow water lies
between this city and the gulf is posi-
tive evidence that some day the chan
mel will come clear through. | know
nothing about how the citizens pro-
pose to get this connection made, but
have been told a bonding scheme IS
under consideration. This would be a
good way to get the canal if it can't
be gotten any other way, but the work
should really be done by the Federal
government. That it will be done by
il in time | am confident. The queS-
ton is whether it would not be better
to go ahead and get the channel your
selves, and trust to having the govern
lment reimburse you later.

ATHENA, AUGUST 2, 1904

The discussion of possible remedies
for the divorce evil by speakers before
the National Congress of Mothers in
Chicago calls attention to the increase
in number of divorces granted in many
states during the last two or three de-
cades. The statistics tell story of
marital disruption that seems almost
incredible. AS an instance of the growth
of divorces one Of the speakers cited the
example of Ohio, where one divorce in
rs marriages was the ratio in 1870 and
one divorce in eight marriages the ratio
in 1902. Other states might have been
cited, however, as illustrative of the ten
dency to seek relief from marital respon-
sibilities and incompatibilities in the
courts. Oregon, too, has its record in
the divorce business, to which Umatilla
county contributes her share. just now
attention is called to couple of Weston
"kids" who were united in marriage in
May of this year, separated in July, and
recently employed attorneys to air their
"family troubles" in divorce proceed
ings before the court.
