BABA BARAT

long raven black curls dropping down
about his shoulders, with All eye as
clear as Rhenish wine and a face of
peculiarly benign mien, yet strongly
chiseled, combining as it does a GER
tain acquired western vigor with the
placidity and calmness of the Orient
Bahia Bharati is a striking figure. He
has studied the Occident and it's ways
and declares that the aggression, the
tremendous conceit and the blindness
of the white race are going to bring
about the uprising of all Asia-that
Asia will Be free at last from domina-
ton and oppression by foreign hands
and that new Monroe doctrine will
be called into being and the Orient
will be for the Orientals alone
The western coast just now is
aroused over the Hindu PERIL" as it
is called. Hundreds, even thousands,
of Hindus are coming across the Pa
clflc, and the western states and west
ern Canada fear very deluge. So
great has been the feeling in some
places that the white laborers have
driven the dusky invaders out, as the
Chinese were sent forth from certain
western cities in early days. But
Bahia Bharati declares there is no such
thing as the Hindu PERIL" It is
rather the Japanese Peril on this
side of the Pacific, or the white
PERIL on the other side of the ocean.
THE Hindus that come to the
American shore are really not Hindus
in the common acceptance of the
term; rather they are half Hindus,
sikhs from Upper India, with differ
ent religion and different IDEAS" said
Bahia Bharati in an interview had
with him at the Hotel Stander just be-
fore the Minnesota sailed. He contin-
ued: There is no cause to fear an
invasion, for only few of the sikhs
will come. And they are not an az
gressive people. If they find they are
not wanted they will not cross the Pa
citic. There is no cause to fear"
The Hindu philosopher and sage
talked for an hour or more on this
western world we know, his eastern
world, religion, literature, modern
conditions, his own life and expert
ences, his hopes, ambitions, and made
predictions of such amazing nature
regarding the future readjustment of
relations across the Pacific as to
startle any person who thinks on the
shadows that portend coming events.
In this interview he summed up mes
sage he wished to convey in farewell
to the America he is leaving.
''The New York Herald gave me and
my mission most helpful publicity, and
then followed my first success since
leaving my own shores. I was to
lecture. Thirty persons came to hear
me, and when I had finished speaking
they placed upon the table $50 in
money. almost wept. Then ex-

Piano Acts as BURGLAR Alarm

Piano Acts as Burglar Alarm.
Because clumsy burglar stumbled
and sprawled over the keyboard of
piano in the parlor of Dominick
Smith, a rich contractor at Pelham,
N. Y, the burglar and a par were
compelled to abandon booty valued
at several thousand dollars which
they had packed in bundles ready to
carry away.
Quite recently Smith bought the
piano. He bought it solely for it's
harmony-producing qualities and had
no idea it would serve as a burglar
alarm. Several silver articles of brio
a-brac were placed on top of the piano
and evidently in reaching for these
one of the burglars fell, his hands
striking the keys. A loud, discord-
ant rumble disturbed the quiet of the
house and aroused the whole family.
Smith seized his revolver and ran
down stairs in time to see two men
speeding down a path in the front
yard. He fred several shots at item.

piano afterward the contractor found

intended to carry away, but which

THE fascination of Washington as a
place Of residence especially to
those who have tasted the delights Of
official life, is once more illustrated
by the announcement that Mrs. John
E. Reyburn, wife of the recently elect
ed mayor Of Philadelphia, will con-
tinue her home at the national capital,
Notwithstanding her husbands posi-
ton as the municipal chief of the city
OF Brotherly Love.
Quite another type of woman seek
ing residence in Washington as a re-
lief from a less satisfying city is Mrs.
Thomas F. Ryan, wife of New York's
great financier, who last season
bought and furnished the former resi-
dence of the late Mrs. Harriet Lane
Johnston with q view to passing her
winters in Washington. Right in the
heart of the smartest residence Sec
ton with Representative and Mrs.
Longworth as her immediate neigh
bors, Mrs. Ryan lives entirely apart
from the social world, but thoroughly
enjoying Washington, her new home
and the society of her husband and
children who come and go between
New York and Virginia with happy
unconcern for distance or expense.
Everybody, or nearly everybody,
socially speaking, called on Mrs.
Ryan, of course, but few persons got
beyond the white and yellow portal,
which is guarded by sphinxlike but
Ter, who gently informs all corners his
mistress is mot at home" Within q
week each person leaving card re-
ceives one in return, with the written
message that Mrs. Ryan regrets she
Ia unable to receive or make visits.
No reason is assigned for the inabil-
ity, nor are the regrets qualified by
any polite adjective, but as Mrs. Ryan
drives, travels in her special car with
out any apparent inconvenience. it is

In that retirement he will be fulfilling
not merely his promise to the people

Mrs. Roosevelt has informed exceed

as a family affair, not political. one,
they and theirs would leave the white
house on March 4, 1909.
It is said that Mrs. Roosevelt re-
luctantly consented to introduce her
young daughter Ethel to WASHINGTON

of 1908.
