CUSTOMS IN MOROCCO.
The Scene at the Slave Market In
Marrakish.

The Scene at the Slave Market In
Marrakish.
From time TO time we are taking
our meals in the open air. writes u
traveller IT, Morocco. II see the shep-
herd boys staring at us from a 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 a wicked
act and defies Providence, since bread
Is from Allah and may be broken with
the hand, but never touched with a
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. 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 one at a time
these booths empty themselves of their
contents and men, women and children
are marched around the Enclosure, the
auctioneer 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 of to the best
advantage. One by one the youngest
and the fairest and the fittest 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" .5

DR.. GORDON'S SUCCESSOR

There are many people in this city
who are interested in the selection OF a
successor TO the late DR. Leonard j. Cor
don as Superintendent of the Free Pub
tic Library. Clerk George Bouton, of
the Street and Water Board, has been
prominently mentioned for the position.
Mr.. Bouton, while not averse to accept
ing the position is rather averse to ac-
cepting the position is rather nneommun-
catiye on the subject, but friendsswho are
close to Mr.. Bouton say he would accept
the position gladly, but would not get out
and make a hustle for votes. The ap-
pointment is in the hands of the Trustees
Pagan, it is naturally presumed. will
have say in the matter Of the selection.
Mr.. Bouton has held the position of
Clerk of the Street and Water Board for
number of years under. different polit-
ical administrations. His ability and ex
perience has beeen his strongest hold in
holding on to his position. The position
as clerk of the Street and Water Board
is by no means sinecure. 1t demands
much executive ability. No position in
the city imposes more arduous duties and
more strenuous efforts to fulfill them sat
isfaetorily. Still there are many who

MERELY
MENTIONED

Lawyers and Others who followed the
contempt proceedings growing out of the
conflicting afiidavits of August Sea-
stream in the injunction suit TO prevent
the playing of base bah Bayonne on Sun-
days, were not little surprised when
Chancellor Magic handed down 4 decis-
ion adjudging the defendants guilty
When he pronounced sentence they were
astounded. Howard G. Grifitfs, presi-
dent and counsel of the Jersey City base
bali club, one of the defendants, was
fined 81 900 and costs; Benjamin
Haagerson was similarly punished. VIII
liam Davis, one Of the directors of the
ball club, was fined $3.50 and costs, and
Seastream, the man responsible for all
the trouble, got off with fine OF $40
and costs. Not even those who had fig
Hred in the prosecution had looked for
such a severe sentence. That Vice Chan
cellor Pitney, who heard the testimony,
was prejudiced against the defendants
was apparent all through the proceed
ings. No one believed that his view Of
the situation would be approved by the
Chancellor. There was as much reason
to believe that Seastream was prompted
to make the first affidavit as there was
that he was led by the other defendants
into making the second one. 1t viii be
hard to convince the public that law
yer of Howard Griffith's prominence in
the community would lend himself to an
unlawful or irregular proceeding. His
part was that of lawyer advising his
Client. Seastream had come to him seek
ing advice regarding the affidavit he said
he had made under misapprehension.
The second affidavit was to set himself
right. There was nothing in the evi-
dence TO show that Mr.. Griffiths, or any
one else for that matter, had unduly IN
| fiuenced Seastream.

DOWN WITH SERCIUS.

PARIS, Jan. 90, 1906. A dispatch to
the "Rapper' from ST. Petersburg says
that an enormous crowd marched yester-
day to the KremIin, where the Grand
Duke Sergius, Governor General of Mos
COW, has taken refuge. Its intention was
to break in and wreak vengeance upon
the Grand Duke The attempt did not
succeed. In the evening a bomb was
thrown and burst at the foot Of the
Kremlin's walls.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Petit Parisien" says that the Gar
is still in seelusion at Czarskoe- Selo.
The revolutionists continue to keep the
agitation alive acting under Instructions
from Father Gapon, who is said to have
made his escape from the country and
reached Switzerland.

TAX TALK
Kumor Says the Commits
sioners' Reports Will be
Considered Today
Denial of Disa-
greement.

It has been announced that the report
of the Equal Taxation Commission
would be finally considered at meeting
in this city this afternoon. 1t was antici-
pated that former Governor Werts,
Charles C. Black aud Chairman Chandler
". RikeF would present drafts Of reports,
setting forth their own views in detail
and that Messrs. Lentz and West would
submit suggestions Of their own. The
commissioners refuse to admit that they
have been unable to agree Messrs.
Lentz and West are supposed to favor
the present system of taxation.
The report, although made to the
Legislature under a concurrent resolu-
ton. will be sent to the Governor and by
him forwarded to the Legislature The
Commission has been hard at work since
the last election. The members have
been somewhat hampered in their work
by the State Assessors who have not
fallen over one another in efforts to fur
nish the Commission with data and sta
tistics. The custom of the State Board
of Assessors has been to add to or alter
the previous years valuation according
to corrections sent in by the railroads
without much actual original valuation.
1t is believed that the commission will
surely recommend some increase in the
taxes on the railroads for the benefit Of
the local governments and urge the es-
adjustment of tax court to equalize all
values. The taxation of second-class
property at full local rates and the abol-
ishment Of fiction that one railroad can
have more than one main stem is rea-
sonably certain.
The prospects of favorable action by
the Legislature are not very good. The
Assembly would undoubtedly pass a mod
crate bill, but the Senate will oppose any
thing that the railroads do not want, al
though such men as Gross, Bachelor and
Hudspeth would stand for justice. Much
win depend upon the attitude of the
Governor and the sentiment of the Re-
publican leaders as to how far the Leg
islature should go.
The lobby at Trenton this year is con-
sidered. strong one and unless the rail-
road authorities higher un' give direc-
tions to the contrary the lobbyists will
make very strong fight against reform.
There is, however, some sentiment
among the railroad managers of the high
er grade, in favor of securing some final
settlement of the question. by which the
agitation may be ended for years to come.
This afternoon Former Governor
| Werts announced that the report would
/ not be ready in time for presentation to
the Legislature this week, Il might be
ready. he said. by the latter part Of this
/ week or first of next.

and the least the municipal authorities
should do is to insist that the laws and
ordinances shah be observed and the in
terests Of the citizens protected. If q
storekeeper or householder should happen
to throw piece Of waste paper in the
street, q cop would be along in 4 minute
and the offender would be lugged off TO
the station house and probably forced TO
pay fine. Why should the trolley COM
pany be accorded privileges that are
denied citizens and taxpayers. The laws
are for the rich as well as the poor and
corporations as well as individuals. Here
is q chance for Mayor Pagan to show the
Public Service Corporation that the idea
that it owns the city is mistaken one.
