HENRY KEAAtTING. Secretary TII Iirj' '''UV"''
AMER VISITS HIS SUBJECTS
Ruler Of Afahaniatan Desires TO see
All People of His
Realm.

BOMBAY, March A,-(special Cabegram
to The Bee 1.-The ameer of Afghanistah
has been making a tour of his provinces
for the purpose of hearing the complaints
of his people. He Is accompanied by all
the members OF his stan and by the mem
bers of his family. He has Just inaugu-
rated a new order of honor for women.
1t provides that whenever any woman of
high rank visits the ameer's harem she
shall be styled the sister, aunt or other
relation OF his highness, and afterward
known by this title. This act is very
much appreciated by the Afghans, who
consider themselves fortunate in having
this prospect of being associated with
royalty.
The ameer has just arrived at Jellala-
bad. When he entered the town he was
mounted on a horse of Turkoman breed
and was dressed i'm black. He carried two
seven-chambered revolvers ON the saddle,
while two pistols with engraved ivory
handles and a sword were slung over his
back He also wore a black cartridge belt.
On either side OF his highness rode the
high officers of the army and behind them
were some CEbeks, followed by regiment
of cavalry.
The ameer has posted a public notice in
his chief object in coming to the country
was to afford an opportunity to those who
could not go to Cabul to see him, or who
could not send their representatives to
him on account of poverty or old age. He
declared that he had made up his mind 20
go round the country to see all his people
and hear all their complaints. His tour
was not a pleasure trip, but was devised
solely with the object of consoling thu
people, and everyone, man, woman and
child, poor or rich, could see his king who
would do all he could to administer justice
to his subjects. He speaks with his people
openly and pleasantly and assures them
that he is their guardian and the guardian
of their country, and that the honor of
their country depends upon them.
According to general report the ameer is
busily occupied in strengthening his posts
on the Russian and Indian frontiers;
large forts are being built which are to
be mounted with heavy guns, purchased
by the ameer's agents In Europe. These
guns will command ali the passes and
ferries.
Six offenders were recently publicly pun
ished by having their eyes put out. One
of the culprits was Ghaz who was &C
cused OF taking brides and thus depressing
the people. The other five were Shanwaris
and Khogianias. who had extorted sup
plies from people for the ameer's camp
The complaints were inquired into by the
ameer himself and all the accused were
blinded.
Up to the present the ameer's postmas-
ter at Peshawar has been in the habit Of
removing Kabul stamps affixed TO letters
coming from Afghanistan and selling these
used stamps at high prices to philatelists.
A new order has now been issued decar-
ing that no adhesive stamps are 10 be
affixed to letters, which will be marked
with a four-cornered stamp showing that
the letter has paid postage. The trafic

The women of Nebraska should not for
get that the effort of the Omaha Young
Women's Christian association to secure
building is not purely local enter
prise. The association and the proposed
building means something to every woman
in the state In these days of travel there
are few women who do not occasionally
have to pass through Omaha and fire.
duently several hours must be spent here
between trains or for shopping Scarcely
day passes that the association reading
room. rest room and lunch room do not
contribute TO the comfort of number
Of these travellers. During the fall carni-
val when hundreds of women from all
parts of the state embrace the rates for
shopping and sightseeing the association
lunch and rest rooms are so crowded with
strangers from out in the state that many
of the regular patrons are compelled to
go elsewhere for their lunch and to foreso
entirely the noon nap as there is not room
for all and the business women have not
time to wait The couches that at the noon
hour mean so much to the weary women
who must stand on their feet behind the
counters or in other employment all dav
are cheerfullY given up to women from out
Of town who are just as weary after a
mornings shopping. But even in a larger
sense than this the association deserves
the support of nonresident women. II Is
the one place in the states metropolis
where women strangers can go and be as
sured of finding interested friends who will
conscientiously advise and direct them
whether II be to a good boarding home
or to assist them in finding employment
Before the close of the present year the
association hopes to have I'm operation a
system of information whereby the secre-
tary may be advised of all young women
leaving the smaller towns OF the state TO
come to Omaha. II they have no definite
employment or boarding place or friends
in view, they will be looked up by the
secretary Immediately upon their arrival,
and if they are found to be In need Of
friends or assistance. both will be pro-
vided, Just what this means to the many
young or inexperienced women who come
to Omaha every year those unfamiliar
with the discouraRements and temptations
incidental to a woman's making her Own
way in a city of this size may not be
realized by all women. but thirteen years
of experience has demonstrated it to be
a necessity to the Young Womens Chris
tian association, and its efforts for a build
ing adequate to the demands OF such a
work for young women should have the
cooperation of every woman of the state.
