Picture.

Another brilliant success in the NOV
ing picture line was introduced at the
Breed theater last evening when the
pictorial masterpiece was exhibited for
the first time in this city. An intense
Iy interesting story of kings fool and
his attractive daughter, with whom the
king becomes infatuated and the fool,
not DESTROYS of the kings attentions to
his daughter. seeks to have the king
snnihilated. In doing SO, the daughter
Is killed instead by mistake, and the
fool does not discover it until he at
tempts to carry the body away in a
sack, which the assailants have been
very careful TO tie up securely.
A distinct novelty was introduced by
Madam Morelle and Mr.. Delaney in
their rendering of the spotlight duet,
You and l." Madam Morelle singing
as a solo MY Heart Beats Alone for
You" and Mr.. Delaney singing Love
Makes the World Go Round both of
which are beautifully illustrated.

POETRY.
THE SHADOW.


Der the nation
Is a shadow.
Dark and gloomy,
OF the fad, oh. b.,
OF the households
Fierce disruption
And the vortex
OF it's suction.
Men are mOurnful.
For they've never
This knot GCrdian
round they'd sever.
The wild maelstrom
Thsy scarce swim in.
But they vainly
Plead with women.
SUI they shudder
With resigning,
Not unmixed. though.
With repining,
waiting sadly.
No hope cleaning.
For the pangs OF

When, the Waldorf was projected It was
upon the very modest estimate that each
patron would spend eight dollars a day;
the actual expenditure is said to have
been thirteen dollars. This was in 1898.
And since then many Waldorfs have gone

however, that we leave It at that figure.

THE ROADS OF MOROCCO.
Tribes PIow Them Up Now and Then
and Sow Grain on Them.

From the National Review.
There are two roads from Tangier to
Fez the one passing through Alcazar
and the other following the seashore via
Larache. The former is the more di-
rect and except during the rainy season
is usually chosen by the traveller. but
the beach road to Larache possesses
many attractions and you are able to
spend a night at the old Portuguese set
Element of Arizlla, which Is model of
the fortresses of two centuries ago.
No one has ever yet measured accurate-
1y the exact distance which separates
Tangier from Fee, and hope the next
person to make the journey will take a
bicycle wheel with a cyclometer at
tached to settle the yexed question once
for all. Roughly I put the distance at
1856 to 100 miles, and 1t Is usual to take
from six to eight days on the road
thus limiting the daily march to rs miles.
which is quite sufficient II you want to
shoot on arriving in camp.
The journey can be done comfortably
in six days If your animals are not too
heavily loaded, and I have ridden from
Fez to I.arache In three days during
the heat of August but 1t Is an expert
ment not to be recommended.
Except during the months of July, Au-
gust and September the climate of Mo-
rocco is temperate piSppeiih' INV
carly spring Is however, the best season
for a journey, as the tropical rains which
are likely to overwhelm you In the late
autumn and early winter have ceased.
The rivers are serious obstacles during
the rainy season, as there are no bridges
and no ferries except close to the coast.
and consequently If the fords are I'M
practicable you are likely to be hung
up on the banks of a river for very
considerable time. The rivers are wide
and shallow, but are liable to rise or
fall six to eight feet In "a hours. Your
baggage must be carried on mules or
horses
There are no regular roads in Morocco
and the tracks are often very difficult
to trace and vary constantly because the
tribes have the curious custom of plough
ing right over them and sowing their
grain thereon. Thus In the summer when
the corn is ripe the old road has some
times entirely disappeared and 1t is neces-
sary to strike a new trail. AS there are
no roads carts are unknown In the In
terror. The only wheeled vehicles which
ever found their way to Fee were brought
there by the late Sultan Abdul Aziz, who
succeeded in adding considerably to his
unpopularity by the innovation.
