MAKE CALLS AT NIGHT.
Peculiar Custom of the Arab Ladies'
OF Zanzibar.


The Arab ladies of Zanzibar live in
great sec fusion IN the large white
houses. never going out in the daytime
from one years end to another. says
the Manchester Guardian. little
cooking and sweetmeat making Is their
only recognized employment, though
some few of Them can do beautiful
silk embroidery. TO lie on their beds
and be famed by their slave girls is
the usual occupation of the richer
women.
If they want to visit their friends, or.
as Is more often the case, TO perambu-
late the town. they wait until 8 o'clock
In the evening, when Il gun Is fired
warning all MOhammedans that 1t Is
the fifth and last hour of prayer; then
they may go out. They are entirely
enveloped in large nantles and their
faces completely hidden by very ugly
gilt masks, with oblong Sits for the
eyes, and many OF them wear these
even In the privacy of their own homes.
Their other garments are trousers and
tunic reaching below the knee, which
Is often embroidered and trimmed with
gold braid. They have number OF
gold and silver ornaments, nose rings
and earrings. bracelets, anklets, and
so oil.
They are very light In color many of
them cream c0lored Their features are
regular and good, and they have dark
eyes and silky black hair They paint
under their eyes aud stain their hands
and nails a reddish color with SIENNA.
II they want to go any distance from
home they ride through the narrow
streets on large white asses stained
brick red, their slaves running by their
sides, but you generally meet them
stalking solemnly along, surrounded by
their slaves, who carry enormous Ian
terms as big as London street lamp.
Very often they do not return home
till In the morning, when another
gun Is fired proelaiming the first hour
of prayer. 1t Is very awkward at times
when you meet In the streets some of
these ladies whom you ought to know
and are greeted by them. You cannot
see their faces, 1t Is not always easy
to recognize voice, and nothing would
offend them more than to ask their
Names

WATERLOO.
GrOuchy Was Solely to Blame For
the Downfall of Napoleon.

the Downfall of Napoleon.
Napoleon would have won the battle
VI Waterloo had Grouchy prevented
the junction Of the Russians with the
English army. because lie would not
have lad to fight Two battles at once.
Few persons realize that the so called
battle of Waterloo was in reality &
double battle somewhat like Jena and
Auerstadt. Napoleon fought one bat
tie at Waterloo against the English.
ON the arrival of the Prussians he was
forced to go in person toward Planche-
mott and there fight another battle
against the Prlssian army, leaving to
Ney the conduct of the troops at Wa
terloO. 1t Is n well known maxim in
war that a very great or decisive vic
tory cannot be gained unless one com
mander makes Il serious blunder or
which the other takes Immediate ad-
vantage 1t is very evident that the
fact of the emperor having to fight
two battles at once instead Of concen-
trating his attention on one alone enor-
mously Increased the possibility of
mistake Moreover, Napoleon did not
have the able lieutenants of his former
campaigns. Desaix, Kleber, LanneS
and Bessieres were dead, Massena and
Macdonald had taken the oath OF allie
glance To the Bourbons, and Murat had
split with the emperor. Napoleon's
personal attention was therefore i'm
peratiye. TO Grouchy alone all blame
must be attributed, for had he prevent
ed the union Of the Prusslans with the
English the emperor would have had
to fight only one battle at a time and
could have given his entire personal
attention to that one battle.
In the second place, Napoleon would
not have been forced to fight with H.,
947 men against two armies numbering
about 25000-nearly two to one
against him. He would have had H.
9I7 good soldiers pitted against raw,
undisciplined army Of 81 ,GG1 men I'M
der the Duke of Wellington, which was
not only inferior In mere numbers, but
far inferior In morale and experience.
The chances would have been greatly
in favor Of the French. Then. too, the
French army was commanded by the
acknowledged master OF modern war
fare, whose brilliant successes at Ri
vol, Marengo, Austerlltz. Jena, Fried
land, Wagram, the Borodino and Ores
den had daZzled the whole world. I'm
til then Napoleon had never been de
feated In any great decisive battle ex-
cept Lelpsic and the French were
strong In their confidence Of the EN-
peror's success. Two of the best writ
ers on the Waterloo campaign, Shaw
Kennedy and Sibourne, both English
men, concur in saying that had Grouchy
kept the Russians away the English
army would have been badly beaten.
This view is also held by the ablest
writer of all. Mr.. Ropes-Unlted Serv-
lee Review.

CONSTITUTION FOR CHINA
Imperial Edict Promises People Self
Government when They Are
Fitted for II.

PEKING Sept. 2.-The emperor hiss is
sued an edict promising constitutional gov
eminent when the people are fitted for It.
The edict says:
Since the beginning of our dynasty there
have been wise emperors who have made
laws suited to the times. Now that China
has intercourse with all nations, our laws
and political system have become anti
Quated and our country is always in trou-
bic. Therefore, IL Is necessary for US to
father more knowledge and draw up a new
code OF laws; otherwise we shall be I'M
worthy of the trust of our forefathers and
the people.
The edict cites the fact that travelling
commissioners report that the cause of
Chinas weakness is antagonism Nbetween
the rulers and the ruled and promises ad-
ministrative and financial reforms. When
these are accomplished and the people have
been educated to understand their relations
to the government a constitution will be
framed. The time for putting this into ef-
feet. the edict says. will depend upon the
rapidly of the nations progress toward en-
lightenment.
Yuan Shi Kai. viceroy Of the province OF
China and comma nder-in-chief of the
forces. has been here for several days par.
ticipating in a conference regarding a con.
stitution.

SUNDAY NIGHT AT SHELLEY
Beer and Dances ana Fights Keep
Police on the Beat
Busy.

ight between four men at a public
dance and another mixup between men at
a private gathering around keg OF beer
three blocks away, held the boards at one
and the same time in sheely at 9 o'clock
Sunday evening, and caused no end Of
trouble for aPtrolman Collins and excite
ment for the populace.
The hall at Twenty-sixth and Walnut
streets was packed to overlooking with a
crowd attending ball given by the St.
Paul lodge, and while some tr1pped to the
strains of music by the band, others par
took of refreshments In the bar room.
When the officer arrived he found four men
going at each other hard. 1t looked lige a
free-for-aT. so Collins telephoned to the
station for reinforcements and four men
were sent to his aid on gallop.
Meanwhile Collins grabbed two of the
wrathy ones and started toward the patrol
box. 1t was a continual fight all the way
and one of the prisoners made his escape.
When the wagon with aid arrived the dance
was again in full blast, as though nothing
had even interferred and all suspicious look
ing persons had disappeared.
Just before the wagon left the station.
a message was received saying a fight was
in progress at Twenty-nlnth and Walnut
streets. and finding nothing to do at the
dance hall the officers went to the second
place where they found a number of fond
neighbors seated around beer key on the
back porch. 1t was explained that some
one had ''butted in" at the gathering and
struck one of the guests. whereupon the
guest struck the nearest person at hand.
The result was hard feelings between
former friends, and 1t remained for Captain
Mostyn to discover that 1t was all mis-
take and induce the fcombatsnts at the
station to kiss and make up. They did 50,
but when released on bail they feared to
trust one another to the truce and insisted
on going out separately and under police
protection as far as the car.

Wyoming O6icers Hope TO Break Up
Hand that steals Animals.
BASIN, wyo.. Sept. 1--(speciaL)-The de-
tails OF q thoroughly organized system of
horse stealing, covering depredations In
Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska, and i'm
plicating at least a score of men, are
gradually being unfolded through the eff
forts of the local authorities. Accord
ing to report. suspicion points strongly at
several residents OF this county who oc-
cupy positions of prominence In business
and social circles, and while 1t is under
stood the county attorney has been asked
to file informations against some OF these.
he does not feel justified in causing their
apprehension until more evidence has been
secured.
TIE recent arrest OF Bob Sutton at wor-
land gave the authorities the first intima-
ton OF this powerful organization. SUIT
ton, II II said. had contracted for the sale
OF several head OF horses belonging to
Henry Lyons Of Meeteetse. and forged bills
OF sale for the animals were found in his
possession. Sutton mas been released on
a nominal bond. and 1t is rumored that he
has made a full confession, duplicating the
gang and will turn states evidence at the
trial here in October
Within the past two months no less than
two hundred horses have been reported 10
the sheriff as missing from their ranges
and these reports continue to come in. The
local stock associations are determined to
break up this gang, as 1t Is unsafe to turn
stock loose on the range as matters stand
now.
