CUSTOMS IN MOROCCO.
The Scene at the Slave Market Il
Marrakfah.

The Scene at the Slave Market II
Marrakish.
"Erom time to time we are taking
our meals in the open air." writes a
traveller to Morocco. II see the shep-
herd boys staring at us from respect
1ul 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 a wicked
act and defies Providence, since bread
ia from Allah and may be broken with
the hand, but never touched with
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 begins-the
preliminary wash In the tent is invisi-
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 in the slave mar
ket at Marrakish. "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 one at a time
these booths empty themselves Of their
contents and men, women and children
are marched around the inclosure, the
auctoneer crying out the latest bid,
and the slave owner pointing out the
best features Of his articles for sale.
''They are all gorgeously 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 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"

THE SUIT CASE.
Boston Physician Was Visi- ted Recently by Detect-
 ives From Hub.

New York, Oct. 12.-It became known to-day that a Boston physician who was supposed by the Boston po- lice to know something about the Bos- ton suit case mystery, was visited re- gently by detectives from that city at the Hotel Girard in New York. At torney T. J. Barry of Boston was pres ent as the physician's attorney and Joseph Berkman, the Boston pawn broker, who sold the suit case in which the torso of a young woman was found, was also present. The detectives told the physician he would have to go back to Boston unless he could convince them that he knew nothing about the mystery.
 The physician produced receipted bills from hotel in this city show ing that he was guest there from September II to September 21. A clerk of the hotel supported the phy- sician's statements that he was in this city on September 19. the day on which the suit case was bought in Boston, and could not have been the purchaser of it. The detectives were satisfied with the alibl and are said to have started for Buffalo.

HAYASHI TO CONSULT
 JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
Result of His Interview Will Decide the Political Status of Korea-Japan is Anxious to Get in Before Russia Police Matters in Pekin to be Regulated From Central Department According to Latest Edict.

Seoul, Oct 12.-Japanese Minister Hayashi started for Tokio today for the purpose of consulting the govern ment and elder statesmen. Minister Hayashi recently commended the de- claration of q Japanese protectorate over Korea as the only means of mak- ing effectual Japanese projects in Ko- req. It is probable that the coming conference will definitely decide the political status of Korea. The Japan ese are anxious to obtain hold on af- fairs before the return of representa- tives of Russia, and the impending conference, together with the absence of British and Italian ministers on a vacation. encourage the local Japanese to believe that eventually all the for eign legations will be withdrawn from Seoul. and that the diplomatic busi- ness of Korea will be handled alto gether in Tokio. The emperor and court officials are much worried over the present turn of affairs, more espe- cially as they cling to their national representation abroad and to the resi- dence. of foreign ministers at Seoul as the last vestige of their vanishing irl- dependence.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
Cases that Will Come Up at To.mor-
 rows Session.

Among the matters on short calen- dar for the superior court tomorrow is motion for more specific state ment in the contested divorce suit of Evelyn R. against William s. hender- son.
 Mrs Orson Light, through Kennedy & Cassidy, will ask for an allowance to defend the divorce suit which was filed against her some weeks ago, and also her appeal fin the suit for the GUS tody of her children.
 William Goldstein will ask to have his name changed to Brooslin. There is story here. Goldstein came to this country when he was IT years old. His name then was Brooslin, but he had a desire to get into business, and the party who was willing to accept him as a partner did so on condition that he changed his name to Gold stein. Under that name he has lived and been known since. In fact, under that name he married. Now his broth CT has come over from Russia and he is tired of telling the same old story of how their names differ. Moreover. he Is anxious to go into business with him. Attorney Reeves Is Goldstein's counsel, and while he does not antici- pate any. difficulty in getting his mo ton granted, there may be some on account of the marriage ceremony.
 The following ex parte divorce cases are down for trial: Mary s. Congdon vs Fred O. Congdon; Laura NJ. Moore vs Robert w. Moore; Ellen Kornglebel vs John Kornglebel; Marion l.. Per kins vs Adna T. Perkins: Jennie L. Hubbell vs Eliot B. Hubbell.

THE SIGN IS DOWN
Wofkmen Removed It But Bid Not
 Pat lt Back.

There was street sign on the tele-
 phone pole standing on Mrs John San dom's sidewalk on the corner of North
 Elm and Cherry streets yesterday. To-day the sign was a playthlng for the children of the neighborhood. The telephone company removed the old pole and put one twice its size in its place yesterday The street sign was attached to the old pole The work men took it off but did not 20 to the bother of mailing it on the new pole. The city has men for that work, seem- cd to be the view taken by the corpor- atlon employees, so why should they bother with It. The telephone com pany has no use for street signs any way, and if the company obliged the city by permitting it 10 place the sign on the old pole 1t did not follow that the permission was carried tO the new pole. It was a small matter anyway, but then private corporations are for ever on the defensive against municl- pal authority However. the street sign was not put up by the workmen and to-day 1t was kicked about by when children were not playing with it. By and by someone will cry out Whats the matter with the street signsi Where have they gone tor The city. not the telephone company. will have to go tO the ex- pense and trouble of putting up new ones

READ THE NEWSPAPER
Johann Koch Was Saved by the Story
 of His Dilemma.

Chicago. Oct. 12-The Chronicle to- ] day says: A casual glance at a news paper by stranger who happened to be spending day in Cleveland. Ohio. it has just been discovered. is what in tervened to save Johann Hoch. alleged murderer and blgamlst. from death at time when his execution seemed certain and has resulted in the post ponement of action of the courts until a thorough inquiry has been made by the supreme court of the case. The man who. unsolicited. rendered his check for the amount that would
 make possible stay of execution and |an appeal to the supreme court. is James II. McNlcholas. millionaire miner with headquarters at Portland. Ore.
 According to the statement made by Mir McNicholas during visit to Chl- cago he was en route last July to read the story of Hoch's trial and the critical situation he was in with no money to assist him in carrying his case to the higher courts for review.
 Hoch's condition made such an im- pression upon McNicholas' mind that he was unable to think of anything else. Finally he learned the names of the attorneys who were assisting in Hoch's defense and that Represent tative Frank Comerford was at Spring field seeking to secure stay of exc cution from Governor Charles De Deen.
 McNicholas immediately wired Comerford that the sum necessary to guarantee Hoch another trial was forthcoming on demand and later wired the amount. $500. to Conner ford. thus saving Hoch at the last mo- ment.
 On Monday next the teprieve grant ed to secure a hearing of Hoch's case fin the supreme court will be argued

FELL IN THE HOLE
hilkman Had Hard Time of It on
 Dublin Street.

On Dublin street about o'clock this morning milkman met with an acci- dent which cost him about four hours delay and also caused him the loss of several gallons of milk.
 The street Is opened because of the putting in of the sewer or some other improvement. At any rate it was large enough for the milkmans two horses and wagon to tumble into. +"
 AS 1t was rather dark and gloomy this morning at 4 the going was diff cult. especially where the streets were not in good condition. The milk dealer was hustling along delivering his wares When suddenly he thought an earth quake had struck the town, for he found himself and his outfit down deep in the hole. The only thing left for him to do was to go hunt up some help. The first place he called at was at the home of Attorney D. J. Slavin, who willingly arose from his bed and went out to see of what use he could be. Several more men In the neighbor. hood were aroused from their warm sheets, but they were unable to do any thing for the milkman, as the horses and wagon were down too far to be taken out by men. After tugging away Tor several hours help was received from one of the local trucking firms It required the hardest kind of work, several horses and pulleys, to get the material out of the trench
 It was o'clock before the dealer was again on his way and he threat ems to sue the city, as he states that there were no lights or rails guarding tue excavation. The dealer was said to be George Rasmussen of Town Plot.
