from Paris. The French dandy is here,
also the grizette.
The Mohammedan world walks along with
the Christian. Yelled Mohammedan women
who have just left the harem Of some rich
Arab pass by wearing white pantaloons,
each leg of which is as big around as a
flour barrel. Their pantaloons hang in
folds and l am told that it takes fourteen
yards Of cloth to make an ordinary pair
They are tied in at the calves or the ankles
and are sometimes loaded with shot to keep
them in shape. Bare-faced Jewesses, dressed
in gay colors, with bright shawls, and with
thin black handkerchiefs glued to their
foreheads, walk along in couples and Ka-
byle women, bronze-faced and tattooed,
ragged and dirty-gowned, come close be-
hind. As the hour Of O'Clock approaches
the Rue Bab-Azoun is packed, and It then
looks like a great cave, with a stream of
all colors flowing through it.

Such were the antics these Moslems
were cutting before high heaven when
John Quincy Adams was president Of the
United States. They did not monkey"
with the Yankees, however, for Commo-
dore Decatur had taught them better.
Nevertheless, they were still bulldozlng
Europe and preying upon the shipping Of
the Mediterranean sea, They enslaved
and murdered Christians, and insulted tho
powers when they objected. One morning,
along late in the twenties, the dey held
an interview with the French consul dur
ing which he was feeling especially bad.
He may have been having trouble with
his numerous wives; his breakfast may
not have agreed with him, or he may have
been dissatisfied with the number OF
Christian heads rung upon the chain be-
low his judgment seat. At any rate, he
grew angry during the interview aud
struck the French consul in the face with
his fan. The blow was not heavy, but II
cost him his kingdom. France immedi-
ately declared war 1t conquered tho
army of the dey, and since then Algeria
has been a dependency Of France.

Modern AIriers.

Beginning with the Boulevard de la Re
publique is the French quarter, or what
might be called modern Algiers; the white
catacombs containing the Moors and Arabs
are on the hill higher up. Indeed the
streets near the harbor would not be out Of
place in Paris nor any other city of
France. They are smooth and paved with
wood blocks. They are walled with French
buildings, nearly all Of which extend out
over the sidewalks so that the shoppers are
protected from the fierce rays of the Afri-
can sun This is the case with the Rue
Bab-Azoun, which runs just behind and
parallel with the Boulevard de la Repub-
lique. 1t is the fashionable promenade Of
the business section, and from 4 to 6
o'clock every day II is filled with people
buying and selling. The best shops are only
along the north side OF the street. They
have plate glass store windows filled with
beautiful goods, and the avenue walled in
by pillars looks like a museum.

compelled to attend school between the ages
of eight and fourteen, and there are COM
mon schools everywhere l have found
them on the edge of Morocco, far down in
the Desert of Sahara. and also in Grand
Kabylia, high up in the Atlas mountains.
In most of the native schools both French
and Arabic are taught, and in many places
the little ones write texts from the Koran
ON their wooden states and commit them to
memory
As to foreign and native religious houses,
these are found in all of the large settle
ments. There are Moslem shrines and
mosques everywhere The French have a
cathedral in Algiers, and the Roman Cath
Ollie church has an archbishop. There is a
Scotch Presbyterian church in Mustapha
SUPERIOR, and there are twenty-one Profess
tant pastors who share in the government
grants for religious support. There are a
number of libraries and museums I'm AL
geria. Here in this city the university has
one of each and there is also a national
library supported by the French.

How France EdHcates the Arabs.

African France is doing much along edu-
cational lines. Algiers has a university
with the departments of law, medicine,
science and letters. This institution is mag
nifcently situated on the hills overlooking
the harbor. 1t has about thirteen hundred
students and is patronized not only by the
French but by the Arabs and Moors
There are also agricultural schools and
technical schools of various kinds through
out the colony and Mohammedan high
schools, where Arab pupils are prepared
for native employment. There is normal
college in Algiers, and not far from 1t a
military school like that at West Point. All
the children Of French citizens, and, indeed
all children except those of the Arabs, are

great portfolios, through which were
thrust 200 guns, commanding the city and
harbor. There is one building which the
dey devoted to his harem and in which
he kept his numerous wives. Another
was his mosque, which has been turned
into a French church, and a third is a
tower which was built right over the
entrance gate and contained his throne
room where the dey held court. outside
this room is chain, which hangs down
over the entrance gate Upon It the
heads Of Christians and criminals who
were beheaded according to orders from
the court above. were strung | am told
that the heads We're usually shown for
twenty-four hours, and We're then taken
down and given to the Mohammedan sol
diers for foot balls.

On the Rue Pnb-AxouD.

The promenaders are stranger than any
to be found at any national exposition on
earth They comprise men and women OF
all classes from the islands and shores' Of
the Mediterranean sea, as well as the orien-
tai characters of the Desert of Sahara and
the Atlas mountains Europe is well repre-
scented. There are French officers, in their
gay uniforms; jaunty French soldiers in
high red caps, blue Jackets and fat zouave
pantaloons, the color of brick dust, and
French women, wearing the latest costumes

Through scenes like this we climbed up
to the citadel, which was both the palace
and the fertilization Of the deys of the
past This rises high over the rest Of the
town, and is now occupied by French
troops There are soldiers at the gates,
and we are watched by them as we pass
through.

Chean TeIegrams md Telephones.


It is down in the French quarter that
the city postoflce is situated. The French
have given their colony the best postal IA
cilities, and at rates much lower than we
have given Hawaii, Porto Rico the Philip
pines or even ourselves. All kinds of goods
can be sent by mail at low rates, and there
is an enormous mail order business with
the mother country.
The telegraph and telephone lines are UNI
der the government and the rates show the
benefit of government management. They
are as low as in France and less than half
of our charges either at home or in our
colonies. One can telegraph between any
two cities of Algeria, which is a country
more than five times as large as the state
of Indiana for one cent a word, the min
imum telegram costing 10 cents. He can
send a telegram to any part of France
from any part Of Algeria at the same rate.
Gables to Great Britain and Germany cost

Like Europe.

The stores here are like those of Europe
The windows are well displayed and the
goods are usually French. Most of the
wares have price marks, and as a rule
they cost no more than in France.
Another fine business street is the Rue
d'Isley. This is the main road to Musta-
pha Superieur, the fashionable villa CEN
ter, on the hills high above the city. 1t
has many new buildings; the old structures
have been torn down, the fortified wall
which once girdled Algiers has been re
moved and many improvements are now
being made. The city is rapidly growing
and it has now, with it's suburbs, about
$4,000 people.

"a Especial Correspondence of The
Bee.)--I am in the blazing white,
SH many -terraced city of Mgiers,
S-s-A@ the capital Of African France.
My hotel is the de Ia Regence, on the
Place du Government, next the mosque
of DIANA ell Djedid, within a stones throw
OF the great palace which holds the gov
eminent offices, and just of the Boulevard
de la Republique, in the very heart of
the city.
From my window I can look out over
the Bay Of Algiers and the wide Meditev-
ranean, with its ships going out and
coming i'm. The foothills Of the Atlas
mountains line the opposite side of the
harbor and the queer African capital rises
up from it, in terrace above terrace, until
1t reaches the great white citadel, which
formed the residence and chief fortihca-
tton of the piratical days Of the past.
Down at the wharves, where the city be-
girs, are mighty breakwaters which ex-
tend out like arms at each end, embracing
steamers and sailing vessels from all
parts Of the world. More than 1000 ing
vessels and u 900 coasters, aggregating
oyer 100000 tons, pass in and out OF
Shose arms every year There are great
Atlantic liners, which call here on their
way from New York to Naples and Genoa,
big steamers from China and Japan, and
also fast ships from Marseilles, which
bring the mails on their 5OO-mile voyage
across the Mediterranean in less than
twenty-four hours. These boats give Al
giers a daily communication with ITS
mother country and they are always
loaded with passengers and freight Their
rates are so low that French laborcrs
and mechanics cross over by hundreds. A
Storage passenger pays only $220 and
the third-class travellers pay less tlan 50.
