POLITICIANS ARE BUSY.

A large part of the press dispatches
IN the daily papers consists OF political
force asts of more or less reliability,
regarding the presidential nomina-
tons OF the republican and democratic
psrties. Experienced politicians con-
tend that in national conventions
nothing is settled until after the votes
are counted, and venture the opinion
that the unexpected may happen at
the Chicago and Denver gatherings.
The stu alton In the democratic
camp is certainly increasing in In
terest, according to recent advices,
and the nomication of Mr.. Bryan at
the Denver convention, which at q
time seemed assured, has become q
matter of doubt. Strong efforts are
being made by the eastern democratic
politicians to sidetrack the Nebraska
candid ate, whose defeat on WI for

clared that Mr.. Bryan, II nominated,
will suffer the worst defeat in his
political career. HE opponents ex.
press the belief that the voters who
refused to support him Ia 1896 and
1900, have had no reason to change
their minds since that time, and that
some of the so called democratic
states will become doubtful ia the
event of Mr.. Bryan's nomina alton.
The opposition to Bryan is sup

4 STRANGE PAGEANT.
Annual March Of Mohammedans to the
Tomb Of Moses.

Tomb Of Moses.
One Of the strangest Of all the pag.
eants which are to be seen in Jerusa-
lem is the annual march of the Mo-
hammedans to the tomb Of Moses. To
them, as we'll as to Christians and
Jews, Moses is a prophet of the high
est honor. But, rejecting the traditions
Of the Hebrews, they refuse to believe
that he was buried in a valley in the
land of Moab, as is described in the
last chapter Of Deuteronomy. Instead
he breathed his last. upon the summit
of Mount Nebo.
Therefore each year at the time Of
the Greek Easter the faithful gather
by thousands in the early morning be-
fore the site Of the temple of Solomon
in perfect silence waiting for day
break. Later the strange scene Of quiet
is entirely transformed. fanatics dane.
ing and preaching. hordes Of dervishes
whirling about in mysterious sacred"
dances and hundreds of exhorters rous-
ing the enthusiasm of their fellows.
The scene is gaudy with hundreds Of
red and green banners. and the only
semblance Of order is in the semiregu-
lar organizations Of marchers.
At last the procession forms. with
the banners borne ahead. an imam
bearing the %yataghan Of the prophet
a short, straight edged sword used by
the armies Of Northumberland after
them more dancers and marchers.
A large part of the population of Je-
rusalem gathers about the gate, out Of
which the procession moves toward
the Mount of Olives. but few besides
the faithful endeavor to obtain a place
in the ranks of marchers, since death
has often been the penalty Of an at
tempt by a non-Mohammedan to make
this march to "Nebi-M ouca." the tomb
Of Moses"
Traders Of many kinds invade the
camp, for the marchers remain at the
mosque five days, and all their sup.
plies must be bought from the wan
dering merchants, who make a bust
ness of looking after their needs. Aft
err the first excitement fanaticism
yields to good humor, and games and
banter fill the time for those who
have paid their duties at the tomb.
The mosque on Nebo is one Of the
most sacred OF Mohammedan shrines
and one Of the most difficult for a
Christian to approach. ~
An English traveller who brought ar
order from the porte. was denied ad
mittance, and, although In recent years
It has become possible to enter, it !:
too early yet to forget the experience
Of one traveller who came bearing a
order OF admittance from the sultan
himself.
This firman," the guardian prizes
said, commands me to let you enter tn
mosque. Very we'll; you can enter
But think we'll before you do so, TO
I find nothing written here about let
ting you out again" =

Killing of Savage Sled Dogs.

Malamute dogs, deprived of suffi-
cient food, have become SO ferocious
In Nome that the northern camp has
been compelled to establish a pound
and to take up all dogs whose owners
will not care for them.
Unless the dogs can be tanned they
are shot. Scores of valuable sled
dogs have already been killed this
winter. and before spring, 1t is be.
lieved, hundreds will have to be shot
to make Nome safe for women and
children.
A score or more of women and chill
dren have been attacked by half-fam-
ished Malamutes, and 1t Is almost un-
safe for children to wander about town
unprotected Even men have been at
tackled at times by the dogs and only
heroic measures adopted by the town
will prevent death or manning of many
people this winter. 1t was this that
led the Nome council to order the
hungry dogs killed.

The justice is no kill-joy, so he took

Parallel to the bruce Case.

Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovitch
has lately issued in st. Petersburg a
little work entitled THE Legend of AL
exander /. in Siberia" One finds in
1t curious parallels to the sensational
mystery which Mr.. Plowden is now en-.
deavoring to unravel. Thus, like the
NTH Duke of Portland, Gar Alexander

and also to have arranged bogus fu.
neral of himself. The story has long
been firmly credited by the middle

even received . measure of counte-
nance from the best of Alexanders
biographers, Gen. Schilders. OF this
legend the grand duke has made .
careful study. with the result that he
shows conclusively by documentary
and other evidence that 1t Is legend

DEMAND SEPARATE
HOUSEWEAR SKIRTS

The fashion for the princess skirt
has brought about large demand for
separate skirts for day housewear.
These are unlined and are made Of
rough tweeds. cheviots. and storm
serges. These save ones indoor frocks
and especially save the skirts "a ones
coat suits. The latter should never be
worn In the house.
The separate skirt as It is now made
is extra short nearly four inches on
the floor. II is fastened in front or at
the left side, and runs about three
inches above the waist line. This does
away with any need for a belt.
One OF the best designs for a two
toned striped Cheviot is a circular with
seam down middle of back and sides.
then a panel down center front over
the edges Of this the sides are Iapped
and stitched. There are buttons from
knees TO waist Another design is a
seven-gOred pattern with a bias panel
down the front On each side OF IL Is
a row Of heavy braid buttonhOles. with
a button on the inner edge. This is of
dark blue strong serge, and it IS trim
mer around the footlins with two broad
bands OF braid. It fasteus down the LEFT
side.
