CUSTOMS IN MOROCCO.
The Scene at the Slave Market il

The Scene at the Slave Market I'D
Marralztsh.
From time to time we are taking
our meals in the open air." writes
traveller to Morocco. II see the she2-
herd boys staring at US from respect
full distance To them we must seem
no better than savages. In the first
place, we sit on chairs and not on the
ground. We cut our bread, which, as
every true believer knows, is wicked
act and dedes Providence, since bread
Is from Allah and may be broken with
the hand, but never touched with q
knife. Then we do not know how to
eat with our fingers, but use knives
and forks and spoons, that after mere
washing are common property. We do
not have water poured out over our
fingers. before the meal beGiDs-the
preliminary wash in the tent is invisl-
BILE and does not count-and we do not
say 'Bismillah' before we start eating.
Our daily bathing seems to puzzle
them greatly. do not notice that lit
tie Larbi and his brother kasem ever
tempt the sea to wash or drown them.
Yet they look healthy enough and are
full Of dignity"
Vividly delineated, too, by the same
writer are the scenes II the slave mar
ket ct Marrakish. 1.-THE various booths
where the statesmen keep their slaves,
Of all ages and both sexes, are care
fully screened from sight until the
market opens. Then enc at time
these booths empty themselves Of their
contents and men, women and children
are marched around the inclosure, the
auctioneer crying out the latest bid,
and the slave owner pointing out the
best features Of his articles for sale.
eThey are all gorgeoasly attired and
decked out to show them off to the best
advantage. One by one the youngest
and the fairest and the fttest are
chosen until at the end Of the long, hot
day only a few aged and weary and
worn are left. They have tramped
round and round the market all day
long, but they are old and therefore
not wanted"

MenZai and bTessso0ier.

4 pathetic scene occurred between
Meissonier and Mcneil in 1867. Men
zels reputation had already been
spread through the world, as his pic
lures Of Frederick the Great and his
court and of Wellington and Blucher
at Waterloo had been placed high in
the list Of the greatest historical paint
ings. Meissonier regarded him as the
foremost Of German painters, and Men,
eel considered Meissonier the most ad-
nirable Of modern artists. When they
met in Paris just after the Austro-
Prussian war each struggled vainly in
his own language to tell the other of
this admiration, but the failure was
complete. After having exhausted all
the possibilities Of signs and grimaces
without reaching an understanding
they fell in each others arms and eS-
pressed their opinions by means OF sew
eral hearty hugs.

Poor Browning.

Browning, sitting down daily after
breakfast to write so many lines, be-
ueving that he was bound to do so and
It was worth doing. That is q pidful
spectacle. What a grotesQue illusion
duty can become! Browning is prop
er target for criticism, for the wicked
est criticism. He was not writing for
3 livelihood. Think Of It! He had an
Independent income, and yet he wrote,
wrote, wrote--what? "Sordello, b1-
fine at the Fair" prince Hohenstel-
Schwangau." And he hypnotzed a9or-
ton Of the British public into the idea
that there was something in it until In
despair they formed q society with ap-
paratus for cracking these nuts-to
find them all empty.-John Davidson

With the continued prosperity
that is now blessing this State there
is every indication that the State
Fair for 1905 will be more largely
attended than ever before IN ITS ms
tory. Last year the South Carolina
State Agricultural and Meclanlcsl
Society celebrated its annual talr
at its new home in the southern su-
burb of Columbia. As IS usually
the case. there were some little de-
tails that could not be finished for
the holding OF the last Fair, but
President Guignard has had a full
wear in which to have all of these
rough spots smoothed out. and the
outlook is that never before in its
history will the State Fair have a
more successful Fair than that
which is to be held here on October
24th. 18th, Goth, and 27th, inclusive.
The inquiry for space at the
grounds, as well as from small ex-
llibitors, indicate very general ap-
probation of the value of such ex-
hibits. A great deal of interest is
being shown in the mechanical de-
vices, ior use in agricultural pur-
suits. From the inquiries that have
been received there will be quite a
number of labor-saving devices ex-
hibited, and, of course, all up-to-
date farmers want to see these
things.
There is, however. a far more in
te1esting phase of the State Fairs
than the mere exhibits in the build
ings on the ground, and that is the
opportunity for intercourse between
the people of the State that the
State Fair offers.

BATTLED WITH A GALE.
Life Saving Crew at Erie Had Thrill
Ing Experience-Answered a
False Alarm.

Erie, Pa, Oct. 25.-Worn by their
16-hour battle with the waves, without
food, the Erie life saving crew of nine
men was towed into port in its open
boat at 3:15 Tuesday afternoon. The
crew, a victim of false alarm, had
been given up by the families of it's
members, and tugs had been out to
seek for some trace of the missing
boat and men.
Capt. Jansen, in charge, said that
he had been exposed to many hard
ships on the seas, but that he had
spent few nights in greater danger.
Monday night at II o'clock he re-
ceived a call to North East, Is miles
east of here. The crew at once put
out in the long boat. Twenty one
miles down the coast they rowed, far
into the morning, but no steamer in
distress was sighted nor was there
any trace of one to be seen.
Then Capt. Jansen sought to make
land, but the surf was running so high
it was impossible. His crew, dispirit-
ed by the chase after an imaginary
boat, had little strength left for the
oars.
The waves tossed the little boat and
the men finally lay exhausted in the
bottom. Then the tug Cornelius Des-
mOnd picked them I'D

The FIRST ONE OF Irs KIND
Trial Of a Damage Suit for $25,ooo
Against Proprietors Of the Iro-

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The first damage
suit against the proprietors Of the Iro-
quois theatre, which was burned De-
cember so, 1903, will be commenced
to-day in the United States circuit
court before Judge Lands. Edna s.
Hunter, who was badly injured in the
fire, has brought suit for $4,000
against the theatre company and the
George A. Fuller Construction Co.,
which erected the building. Two
weeks have been occupied in securing
jury. 1t was completed Tuesday and
Attorney Charles G. Spencer made the
opening statement for the plaintiff.
He declared to the jury that he
would show that the building ordi-
nances were grossly violated by the
theatre proprietors. There was, he
declared, no fiue pipe in the roof over
the stage; the exits were not properly
Marked there was no automatic
sprinkler and the appliances for ex-
tinguishing fire were grossly made
quate.
The suit is considered by lawyers to
be of great Importance. Hundreds OF
other suits aggregating millions OF
dollars in damages have been brought
and the evidence given and the verdict
to be rendered in this first trial is OF
momentous consequence to all con
cerned

No Cars are Running.

New Philadelphia, o., Oct. 25.-No
cars are running between this city and
Uhrichsville. The Tuscarawas Trac-
tion Co. took off it's bouncers Monday
afternoon and began to accept ten
cent fares in order to avoid writ of
injunction that the city had applied
for, compelling that action. Then it
took off all its cars. 1t threatens to
stop all traffic between the two towns
until 20-cent fare is agreed upon.
The two city councils and the commits
sioners are agreed upon forfeiting its
franchise if it does not accept the ten
cent fare and run cars.
