McCalla, then commander of the
cruiser Marblehead, was in the first
fighting line in the Spanish-American
war. He landed the marines at Guam
tanamo, the first of the American
troops to set foot on Cuban soil, in
the face of fierce fire from the Span
ish troops, and maintained them there
for many days until regular troops
could be brought to their support. At
Cienfuegos he went in boldly under
the Spanish batteries and cut the
cables that connected Cuba with
Spain, thus accomplishing one Of the
most important functions in warfare.
But perhaps his most brilliant
achievement was in connection with
the Boxer uprising in China in 1900.
when the legationers were besieged In
Peking.
Rear Admiral McCalla was born at
Camden, N. j., in 1874, entering the

parts of the world were noted with

Then she came back to New York

do it and had to put us in the Five

we were sent to the country.
After that, my brother Charles has

people that Egypt is still more French

Add to this the fact that the great
mass of people are bigoted and rabid
-Aussulmans, and that Moslem laws
and prohibitions are more to them
than the influence of English
French and all other Christian ma
tions combined, and we can see in
what a complicated state of semi
civilization the Egyptians manage to
exist. The only wonder is that laws
are ever administered, that justice is
ever meted out, and that the country
is not in a perpetual state of anarchy.
The explanation of the comparative
good order and apparent contentment
that exists is doubtless found in the
khaki-clad English soldier, who is not
overconspicuous in the streets of
Cairo, but whom every Egyptian
knows could be summoned at a mo.

Marriage Reveals Romance Of a
Gipsy Camp.
Bride Finds Brother and Discovers
Her Mother Was Daughter Of tho
Famous Hargis Family Of
kentuck.

New York.-The story of how Katy
Filtablis found her people reads like
chapter out of Romany Legends. A
few months ago she was homeless,
friendless and sixteen. Now she is
the wife of a gypsy prince, has a
whole tribe at her beck and call, and
better than all has found who her
real people are and has located and
visited her brother, for whom she has
searched for eight years.
The story of how she was married
to Prince Millen Johnson of Elizabeth,
N. j., tribe of gipsies by Father O'Neil
OF the Catholic church on February 20
has been told, but it did not come out
until recently that she was the daugh-
ter of one of Americas famous fam
lilies the Hargises of Kentucky. Her
marriage to a gypsy prince led to the
discovery of her parentage. A young
boy over in Arceola, Pa, read the
story of the wanderings of Catherine
Filtablis and her romantic marriage
to Prince Millen, and it called up the
mysterious story of his own youth.
He had had sister named Katy and
his boyhood name was Charlie F'ilta-
bks. He had been adopted from the
Five Points House of" Industry by a
wealthy farmer family, Julia and
James Merrill, of Arceola, Pa. Surely
this little girl was the blue-eyed sister
he had always longed to find. He
telegraphed to her, and after two
weeks of merrymaking in the camp
at Elizabeth, Catherine, accompanied
by Mary Johnson, both in picturesque
gypsy costumes, set out for Arceola
to visit the boy who claimed the new
Romany princess as his sister. It was
a strange meeting of brother and sis
ter, but those who saw them together
could not doubt that the story the
young boy told was true, for they
looked enough alike to be brother and
sister, coins struck from the same
die.

And yet Egypt to-day is an impor.
tant spoke in the wheel of the world s
politics. She has close relations with
Europe on one side and Africa on the
other. England, France and Turkey
are vitality interested in her welfare,
and to a lesser extent, Germany, Aus

struck in Egypt at any time that will
involve all Europe in the conflagra-
tion of war, or she may be made a
buffer state between European ag-
gression and the colonies of Africa,

Pharaohs would slip back on the to-

The khedive is kindly-faced young
man, with courteous bow for the
stranger within his gates, and though
he is said to be not very popular
among his people, and is accused, like
most eastern potentates, of making
more money than his khedive-ship
legitimately warrants, he probably
does as well for his people as any
man in his place is likely to do. He
frequently visits Paris, and is imbued
with French ideals which he finds it
extremely difficult to induce the CON-
monalty to adopt.
The astounding revolution in Tur-
key in 1908 naturally stirred up the

French, English or native trumpet, re-
gardless Of truth or falsehood."
But there are some things that the
observer can see for himself. AS he
compares Egypt to-day with what he
can learn Of her condition quarter
of a century ago. when the English oc-
cupation began, he learns that she has
improved enormously, and that she is,
beyond doubt, going UP the hill Of
prosperity. however far she is from
the top.
Egypt is probably the worst gov-
erned country in the world In the
first place, she is under the suzerain-
ty of Turkey, and has to pay an an
nual tribute of between 100000 and
$4,000,000 to the sublime porte, for
which she receives absolutely mo ma
terial consideration in return Then
she has a native ruler and native laws
of her own, and her khedive, the sue
cessor of long line of Ottoman rul-
ers, Is something more than a figure
head, but considerably less than re-
sponsible executive. Then there are
the British, the real rulers of Egypt
since 1882, without whose permission
the Egyptians cannot move hand or
foot.
The International court settles all
the troubles of foreigners in Egypt,
over whom the native courts have no
jurisdiction, which makes another
complication in the administration of
justice.
The French, too, must be reckoned
with, for though they have no shred
of actual power left, during their prac-
tical domination Of Egypt they i'm
pressed their customs, their language
and their laws so deeply upon the
