The opponents of the anti-bawdy
house ordinance have argued that the
new ordinance would only serve to
scatter the lewd women all over town
instead of holding them under con
troll within a certain district. That
this will not be the immediate effect
is already proven. OF the twenty-four
courtesals holding license, two are

The Longest "Straight."

To the Buenos Aires and Pacific
railway belongs the peculiar distinction
Of having on it's system the longest
straight stretch of railway in the
world. The length of this is 2O511a
miles, and it is situated on the main
line, between 1853 and 1851 miles from
Buenos Aires. The straight was for
merly broken by reverse curves form
ing detour around Lake Soria The
longer portion was then It's miles long
and was even then the worlds record
The lake having, however, practically
dried up, the company suppressed the
curves, and the cutoff was opened to
service on Oct. Is, 1907. It seems that
when the line was set out in the sew
enties, at which time the country was
in the hands of the Indians, after leay-
ing Junin, which was a military out
post and the last point of contact with
the Buenos Aires civilization, course
of about west northwest was set and the
line run straight across the fiat pampas
until it met another line about sixty
miles long, which was pushed out east
ward from the western terminus, Villa
Mercedes. There were no obstacles of
Importance to avoid, and hence the
phenomenal bee line.-Engineer.

Departed Glories of Fee.

Fee the fertile" the Rome of the
western Arabs. still retains traces Of
the magnifcence which made her in the
middle ages the rival of Mecca. In the
twelfth century the holy city, to which
when the road to Mecca was closed
pilgrimages were made, contained as
many as 700 temples, fifty of which
We're adorned with marble pillars. In
those old days the city was the haunt
Of philosophers, physicians and astron-
omers A mere formal pretense Of
study is now all that is practiced.
"They have Euclid in folio volumes" a
traveller writes. 'but neither copied
nor read. The teacher sits crossleg-
ged on the ground and repeats in a
drawing tone between singing and
crying words which are echoed by the
scholars sitting around him." Fee. how
ever. is honest enough in one respect
she does not believe in outward show.
In the interior of the houses are apart
ments decorated with paintings and
arabesques. while the outside walls
are often built of mud.

~ never discuss marriage" said the
late General Fitz-Hugh Lee, without
thinking of an old colored preacher in
my state who was addressing his dark
skinned congregation when a white
man rose up in the back of the build

"'Mr. Preacher said the white man.
"'Sir to YOU said the parson.

ETIQUETTE IN KAssALA.
A Chat Between Male Heather and
Two Native Ladies

"A Chat Between Male Heather and
Two Native Ladies.
Some of the traditional observances
In the polite society of other lands af-
ford, in addition to amusement, con-
siderable opposition to the free inter
course to which modern conditions
have accustomed us. Mrs. Speedy,
one of the first English ladies to visit
Kassala, gives a good instance of this
in her "Wanderings In the Sudan"
when relating how she and her hus-
band received their first callers. Their
patroness was an italian lady who had
long been resident Of the city.
Sin the morning rap came to the
door," writes Mrs. Speedy, land on
opening it saw madame, with two
Arab women, standing outside. She in
quired cautiously if Charlie were with
in, and on my saying that he was she
made a sign to the two ladies', who
drew the thickly concealing shawl still
more closely over their hidden faces
and moved off to one side in the pas
sage, turning their backs to the door
way.
"She then explained to me that they
were of very high rank and of very
strict sect and must on no account be
seen by strange man, especially not
by one who was Of another nation and
an infidel. They were, however, very
anxious to see me and had come to do
me that honor, and If Charlie would
not object to go below or into some
other room for few minutes they
would make their visit very short.
II represented the state of the case,
and he at once consented to absent
himself, his only regret being that he
should not have a chance to converse
with these ladies. as there were many
things which he wished especially to
know and which he was not likely to
have any opportunity. SO good as the
present for ascertaining. In turn,
represented this side Of the question
to madame, and after much hesitation
and whispered conversation in the pas
sage a compromise was effected.
SIT was arranged that, completely
| yelled, the ladies should enter the
room, not venturing to turn their heads
in the direction Of the masculine hea-
then, and that he should before they
entered turn his back to the direction
by which they would come in.
This was all strictly carried out, and
thus, back to back and considerable
distance apart, an edifying conversation
went on for half an hour, questions
being put in bland, inquiring tones and
dulcet replies given, which appeared to
be quite satisfactory to both parties"

dam THE MISSOURI
SECOND LARGEST IN THE WORLD
80 MILES FROM HELENA.

Helena, Mont, April S.-The Helena
Power Transmission Co.. has ordered
material for the second largest dam in
the world on the Missouri river, 30
miles from Helena When completed
it will not only irrigate thousands of
acres of land in this section, but will
furnish power for plants in Helena,
Butte and Anaconda. BY July 1 more
than 500 men will be employed on the
construction work
The immensely of the undertaking
is seen by the fact that 1875, 900 barrels
of cement will be used. Loaded on
the cars, this will compose a train nine
miles long. One thousand tons of steel
will also be used. The project is back
ed by ex-Gov Samuel T. Hauser and

COAL TO PANAMA
WILDE Shipped in Large GUAM
titles from Coal Fields
in This State.

The concern of Cashier. Curran &
Bullitt, which handles almost the en-
tire product of the Pocahontas field,
has been awarded the contract for
furnishing $50. 900 tons of coal to the
Panama canal commission. This
coal Is to be used TO supply the needs
OF the government at Panama during
the coming year. Cashier. Curran s
Bullitt will begin shipping fuel in q
day or so. The first steamer to load
with this coal--the Norwegian Fridt-
jof Nansen-is coming in from New
York to load at Lambert's point, Nor
folk. N
The Erie line was awarded the
contract for freighting the coal to
the canal and will use the foreign
steamers which they have under
charter The total amount OF coal
sold under this contract was 100000
tons of Pocahontas. while the Berwin
White Coal Company furnish 100000
tons OF New River. This last goes
fom Newport News and therefore
Hampton Roads got the whole busi-
ness.
Is a notable achievement, since
all the great coal concern in the Uni
ted States were competitors and there
were fifteen bidders, some Of whom
bid slightly under Casner, Curran u.
Buliitt. The coal. however, was Of
Tered under certain specifications
which required that 1t should be UP
to a fixed standard. and Pocahontas,
at the price. was adjudged ythe gov
eminent experts to be the. cheap
est.
Each car load will be sampled by
an agent of the geological survey and
the coal will be analysed and must
come up to the specifications. The
securing of this contract by Cashier.
Curran & Bullitt will mean that
nearly $75o,0oO will come to this state
during the next twelve months in
payment for coal.
