BHAINARD n. WARNER HOME
AFTER A LONG JOURNEY.
Describes Some of His Experiences
and the Things He Observed
Complimentary Dinner.

Mr.. b. Fl. Warner has just returned on
the steamer Oceanic with two of his daugh-
tiers from trip Of more than 1900 miles,
extending as far east as Constantinople.
Mr.. Warner was bronzed by his long sea
voyage and appears to be In the best of
health
Mr. Warner said today:-"I learned more
on this tour than in all my other travels.
We visited Funchal, the southern portion Of
Spain. Malta, Gibraltar, Algiers, Turkey.
Palestine, Egypt. Greece, Naples and Rome,
the Riviera and England.
"The mention Of these cities indicates
that We came in contact with many differ
ent peoples and styles of living. 1 was
amazed to see the great amount of business
transacted in some distant points, Of which
l knew very little.
1.-THE most interesting cities we visited
were Jerusalem. Cairo and Rome. 1 would
have been much gratifed to have had a
month to devote to the last two named
cities. especially Rome, with its 3SS
churches. Athens and Rome are connected
with the most wonderful history OF the
world. Great discoveries are being con-
tinually made in each of them and the his
toricai interest is being constantly in
creased In addition to the remains of the
ancient cities. there is also a modern Ath-
ems and Rome, both of which are growing
with wonderful rapidity and being improved
by magnificent buildings.
while the United States is ahead in al
most everything. we still learn some
lessons from the old world.
Temple Of Justice.
"a temple of justice is just being COM
pleted in Rome that costs more than
any Of our public buildings, except the
United States Capitol. and occupies
whole square. AS 1 looked upon this
great building. devoted to the majesty and
supremacy of law, and also visited the one
in Brussels, so conspicuous and elegant IN
all of it's appointments, 1 was forced to
draw very painful contrast with the
quarters of our own Supreme Court, mar
row and insufficient they are, in a small
section of the Capitol building.
Il can say truthfully that President
Roosevelt is the best known man in the
world. There is a constant stream of
tourists passing through all the localities
we visited, and the name of Roosevelt IS
the tongue of every man and woman
who desires to secure the patronage OF
American tourists.
In Egypt there are 10000 camels and
donkeys named Teddy Roosevelt. In fact.
i rode animal bearing his name at most
every place 1 visited along the Nile. In
Paris Roosevelt hats are displayed in
the windows of the leading hat stores
One of my friends told me that his state
room on a German steamer was on the
Roosevelt deck. and an intelligent and
highly educated Englishman stated that
take If we let Mr.. Roosevelt go out of
office before he has fair chance of carry
ing out the policies he has inaugurated.
The world seems to be prosperous and
there is a great boom in real estate in
every large city. The English and Ger
mans are far ahead in the field of COM
merce and industry. The British flag
floats over nearly one-half the commerce
of the world and their main contestants
are the Germans.
Jerusalem Dirtiest CITY.
Jerusalem was the dirtiest city we Wis
tied The Turkish government still has
control of the Holy Land and wherever
the Turk has dominion the greatest con-
servatism prevails. He Is in favor of plural
marriages and against innovations of any
kind There is not telephone in all Tur-
key, except in private houses and offices.
just because the Sultan thinks they may
become dangerous to the country and he
does not want them.
The condition of women in the realm of
the Sultan is deplorable. yet the Turk has
absolute faith in his religion and his pray
erfuness and devotion unbounded.
The study of the Korean is still continued
by the rising generation. At the great Mo-
| h.mmedan university in Cairo there are
| 10000 young men studying the Koran
| saw acres of them studying aloud at the
| same time, within the same Enclosure, and
| told that some of the dull scholars had
been there for more than five years, trying
| to 1nemorize the book. In fact, thousands
| of men can be found in Egypt and Turkey
who can repeat every word of the great
| book of MahOmet.
| Mr. Warner says that the finest sight
| that greeted him was the American flag,
| waving in New York harbor, upon his re-
| turn.
| Some of MI Warmers friends have ar
| ranged to give a complimentary dinner in
| his honor at the Young Mems Christian
| Association building tomorrow evening at
o'clock.
