kHIvA, THE FORGOTTEN.
Great City Wasting Away Among the
Sands which Surround 1t.


Sands which Surround 1t.
Bokhara is fallen, Samarkand is the
seat of Russian provincial governor,
and Merv is manufacturing town
with cast iron drinking fountain.
Khiva, too, was swallowed in it's turn,
but disgorged again. Though the king
dom fell, it was handed back to its
owners. and no Russian may now en-
ter. except by invitation.
The Khivan mobiles still ride a-hawk-
ing. and caravans In the Kara Kun
sands still fear the armed horsemen
who dash down from the north.
Though comprised about on every
side by Russian territory and in sight
of the breaches made by the Russian
guns In 1878, the Khiva Khan still
screws his revenue from trembling
people.
Burnaby rode to the city from the
north and underwent dreadful priva-
tons to spend three days there. Ar
minus Vambery, nearly the most eour
ageous traveller of modern times, reach
ed there disguised as holy man. The
American McGahan entered with Gen
eral Kaufman in 1873, DR.. Landsell
and Captain Abbott made the journey,
and, lastly, Robert L. Jefferson, as re-
Ride to Kbiva," made long bicycle
ride across The Russian steppes and
camel ride down to Khiva from Oren-
burg, In the north But other than
these know only of Russian officers
who have been within the gates.
Since the Russians themselves have
agreed to keep out, they have done all
in their power to prevent others from
going into the city or even crossing the
boundaries of the little kingdom. What
they fear from visitors it is not easy
to imagine -Four antiquated, muzzle
loading smoothbore cannon and cor
rupt and unintelligent court circle re
volving about a stupid ruler would
not repay a second thought even from
the spies of the viceroy of India. But
the fact is that foreigners are not al
lowed access to the state, and the
Eighteenth regiment of chasseurs Is
ouartered at Petro Alexandrovsk in
such a way as to control the Khivan
water supply along the canal from the
Oxus
In old days caravans from Merry
and Bokhara were frequent. Carpets
and stuffs were sent both west and
east from the city in exchange for
drugs and tea Today some cotton is
sent up the river to the railroad, and
occasionally smaR party Of mer-
chants comes from the south, but more
and more Khiva Is becoming forgotten
and isolated Modern improvements,
instead of carrying her into the cur
rent with the world, have left her in
slack water. The deserts are more
effective barrier today than they were
two centuries ago, and a great city
is left to feed upon itself till it shall
waste away and become part Of the
sands that compass it.-Langdon War

The .Army That Never was Listed"

The "Army That Never Was Listed"
The Salvation Army is rich in men
whose life story sounds like chapter
of romance There are few, If any,
organizations which are more crowded
with strong and remarkable leaders
than is this peace army Of today. In
Switzerland the commander of the
forces is a Swedish professor; in Ger
many a one time west end Clergyman
is in charge; Sweden has fourishing
branch under the direction of a Read
ing bakers boy, who is today guest
at the court Of the king; Canada's
leader was a shoemaker's apprentice
at Kettering. while In Australia. where
the Salvation Army social work is
recognized and subsidized substantially
by the commonwealth, Tyneside con-
vert, who was a drunkard before he
was in his teens and who has for
wife a German lady of education and
refinement, is considered worthy Of the
friendship of premiers and governor
generals. -Westminster Gazette.

Called to Order In Saratoga.

GAfN9rtn0 OF NEW SoFh nSPdbtSSns
Called to Order In Saratoga.
Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 26.-The Re
publican state convention, in session
here, is still occupied with the all abb
sorbing question of the nomination for
governor, Governor Higgins having de.
clined a denomination.
1t is known that. many of the dele
gates favor the nomination OF Lieu
tenant Governor Linn Bruce. County
Chairman Herbert Parsons of New
York being almost alone in his advo-
cacy of Charles E. Hughes. IT is be.
Iisved that a majority Of the delegates
would quickly support former Govern
or Frank s. Black If he could be in.
duced to allow his name to be used.
Many delegates state that the upstate
strength will be concentrated upon ex-
lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Wood
ruff.
For many hours after the first SEES
sion of the convention the leaders were
in close conference canvassing the sit
nation and endeavoring to reach an
hCGL1Cl1t VI oJAtol AOh AhN
purpose of completing its business by
the nomination of state ticket.
While no estimates are made or fig
ures given. the friends of Hughes pre-
dict that their candidate will develop
strength not expected by the upstate
leaders.
The one apparent certainty about the
nomination was that Herbert Parsons
leader of the New York county forces
and from the beginning sponsor of the
Hughes candidacy, stood fast and
would continue to stand fast for his
man. Against him were arrayed prac.s
tically all of the upstate leaders.
Indications were that the names Oh
all the candidates would be presented
on the convention floor Bruce. Hughes
Woodruff, Black, Bracket and the rest
including the 'favorite sons" such az

of Syracuse. whose local friends shout

Buffalo. Sept. 26-The Democratic
state convention, now in session here.
will ii is expected nominate gov
ernor and a full state ticket at SEES
sion which may go through with all
the smoothness which characterized
the first brief session, at which in less
than half an hour all the preliminaries
of temporary organization were dis
posed of and at which Lewis Nixon OF
New York, the temporary chairman,
made an appeal for harmony, which
was applauded more than any other
utterance
A William r. Hearst of New York. who
already is the nominee of the lnde-
pendence league. which he was instru-
mental in organizing, seems to be in
the lead for the nomination. IL IS
asserted that the convention will name
Lewis Stuvvesant Chanler of Duchess
for lieutenant governor aud John 5.
Whalen of Monroe for secretary OF
state. Both Mr. Clalller and Mr..
Whalen are on the Independence
league ticket.
1t is said tnat TINS Is as ldi 40 e"e
most radical of the Hearst delegates
to the convention will go in taking
over the candidates of the lndepend-
ence league. for included on the ticket
of that organization are one or two
Republicans.
MFR. Hearst is generally conceded TO
have gained control of the three impor-
tant committees appointed at the first
session of the convention. These in
clude the committee on contested seats,
which will decide contests in twenty
districts, involving sixty votes; the
committee on platform and resolutions
and the committee on permanent or
ganization.
The candidacy of District Attorney
william Travers Jerome of New York
has been virtually withdrawn, Mr.. Je-
rome at a conference denouncing the
present party leaders of the state.
Among the names mentioned for the
nomination, besides that of William r.
Hearst, are those of Judge W. ]. Cay
nor, Mayor J. N. Adam of Buffalo and
Congressman William Sulzer.

A Composers Cory.

Puccini's scores are the study of a
lifetime, and there is only one man in
Messrs. Records Office in Milan who
has mastered the art of deciphering
them. Sometimes the page looks as if
fly had crawled over it, sometimes
as if an elephant with inky feet had
trampled on 1t, and everywhere are
weird fourishes and thumb nail sketch
es and notes, seemingly superfuous,
which have overfowed into the mar
gin and blots innumerable. 1t is easy
to understand that, if such is the case
with scores written in the ordinary
way, that of Mime Butterfly was a
still greater puzzle to the reader. A fac
smile has been published of it which
makes one wonder how the composer
himself could find his way through it.

The religious denominations in COM

heavily in the San Francisco disaster.
According to the published lists, nearly
100 church buildings were destroyed.
including many Of the largest and finest
edifices in the city. The Methodists
alone claim loss of half million
dollars worth of property, and several
of the other sects and denominations
have probably lost as much, and some
more How to replace these buildings

of whom have been almost impover-

rush of mobs bent on killing negroes
in revenge for assaults on white wo-

A Good Nomination.

Hon. Matthias Woollev, ex-Sheriff
of this county, and candidate for
County Commissioner, is known as
the first Republican sheriff of this
county for many years previous to his
incumbency of that office, and also AS
one of the best-fiitted for that position
the county has ever had. He is every
where recognized as man of honor
and integrity of character, and he is
highly esteemed by his fellowmen, at
home and throughout the county. He
is just the sort of man the people of
Monmouth want to represent them
on the Board OF Freeholders. No
bills for 81 days work in the mouth of
February; no combines for individ
usl profit with bridge companies will
ever receive the sanction of Sheriff
Woolley.
A vote for Matthias Woolley will
count one for an honest mau and in
the eounty's affairs. Long Branch
