CLING TO ANCIENT RITES.
Moroccans Still Offer Sacrifices to
Propitiate the Powerful.

A strange custom still exists here,
that of sacrificing live animals to pro-
pitiate those in power. An instance
Of it occurred the other day when
three ragged women, yelled, dirty and
poverty stricken, came staggering up
the hill to the flagstaff which stands
in the middle of our camp, half push
ing, half carrying two sheep bound
and helpless. At the foot of our ban
ner staff they laid the beasts down
and sticking knife into their threats
left them there to die by slow inches.
No cries, no wailing, they huddled to-
gether and sat motionless awaiting
Allah's will. The interpreter inter-
viewed them and discovered that they
were the wives of a Moor whom the
new Kaid had imprisoned for the
usual sin-the ownership of riches.
This brigand plundered everything
and turned the women out to starve.
Hearing Of the approach of Basha-
dor a friend, no doubt, of our lord the
sultan, they came to offer sacrifice
that he might have pity on them.
Alas! nothing can be done, the Kaid
is all powerful, even the sultan is
helpless. Sometimes a bullock is
hamstrung on our road. Strange to
say the sacrificed animal cannot be
used for food by the petitioners, but
our escorts profit and drag off the
carcasses with happy grins.-National
Review.

SEABOARD IS IN
sIVES NOTICE OF ACCEPTING
 STATE TARIFF LAWS,
Local Representatives Were Tele- graphed to This Effect Yesterday Commodity Rates Become
 Effective Monday,

Confirming intimations given out two weeks ago to the effect that the railroads would accept the legisla- ton of the State in the matter of the new rate law, telegram was received yesterday by the local commercial of- fices of the Seaboard Air Line from that the passenger rate of two and one on October 1st, and that the commodity rates would be put into operation next Monday.
 This is the second one of the rail- roads which opposed the new law to accede to it's terms, and lend color to the statement which Governor sComer made before leaving for his vacation in Atlantic City few days ago:"That when return I hope to find that those roads which have not yet accepted the Legislation of the State will have de- clared their intention of doing so, ac- cepting the will of the people"
 The order did not come as a great surprise to the railroad officials here. It is the opinion of many people that the railroads are beginning to realize the hopelessness of what will be an almost endless legal struggle. and a useless expenditure of money.
 It is probable that the action of the Seaboard will be followed by similar orders from the other outstanding roads and 1t is thought that the Federal injunction will be made in operative by the consent of the other roads in accepting the two and one half cent rate.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 3e.--with q three day holiday. the market pending operators were inclined to reduce their outstanding com mitments or in the case of the smaller class of traders. to retire them altogether The hazards of closed market for three days was too great to make attraction to open account for that length of time with out any medium avaoiiable in which to act on events as they arise. The movement of the market was plain indication of the extent to which the short side has been favored by the professional class of operat- ors. The market proved responsive to any influences that would have helped the bears in reducing prices
 Call money was moderately affected by the preparations for the monty settlements and by the fact that loans made at the stock exchange today carry over to next Tuesday, by reason of the triple holiday. The slightly higher rates for loans of this class that were charged received slight att tention. however. This attitude was part government funds with the banks to be made from week to week will safeguard the money situation.
 An early restraining influence on the ad- vance was an argument advanced by the bears that the resumption next Tuesday of the hearings in the suit of the government against the Standard oil Company would reawaken the harmful effects of that sub ject in the stock market. This argument was emphasized by the circulation of ru- nor that the government counsel in that case was destined for the attorney general set in the Presidents cabinet: a rumor sub sequently denied.
