SCHOONER SPRINGS LEAK.
Forced to Put Back to Alexandria
for Repairs,

THE two-masted river schooner Oriental,
one or the fleet engaged in running lum-
Der and wood to this city, left here
Friday last, bound to river point to load
back to Washington. On her way down
the river she developed severe leak
that her pumps had trouble in taking care
of. and to prevent the vessel waterlogging
Der master ran her ashore on bar and
made temporary repairs that enabled him
to return to Alexandria, where the vessel
was hauled out on the marine railway
to locate and stop the leak. The work
on the vessel will be completed today
and she will be launched and resume her
journey down the river.
The schooner Ella, which sprang leak
on recent trip from the lower river to
this city, has returned down the river
and will haul out for calking and repair
work, 1t Is stated, before loading another
cargo for the dealers here. The Ella is
owned and commanded by Capt Redman
OF King George county. Va.

Ancient Splendor Departed.

There is not a trace of the ancient
splendor in the old city. / did not see
one decent looking building, nor one
which seemed to have been erected or
repaired by the present generation. Every
thing is on the verge of tumbling down.
The narrow, crooked streets are lined
with mud walls of windowless cabins or
wooden booths on a level with the side
walk, in which all things are sold, what
ever the people eat or wear or use in
anyway for their injury or profit. Every
thing is dilapidated and filthy.
But, oh! how picturesque the riot of
color in costumes and the oriental types
of faces. the camels, the donkeys, the
droskys, the high-wheeled carts and the
peasants loaded with the produce of their
farms and gardens, which they bring
to market on their backs.
Everybody wears coat like rainbow
The poor make them of cotton prints and
the rich of silk and brocades. There
seems to be a rivalry among all men to
get the most brilliant colors and the
largest number of them sewed into the
same coat.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-08-10
Streets Are Crowded.


The streets are always crowded, and if
you can get an elevated place and look
down upon them they resemble seas of
white turbans that undulate like waves
as their wearers walk through those mar
row thoroughfares. The passion for color
is extra ordinary. No matter how humble
or hungry a man may be, and even If he
have but q single garment, it is made
of the most brilliantly colored material
he can find.
The fez of the Turk has disappeared.
The turban of the Arab has taken it's
place. and it is much more graceful and
dignified covering.
Occasionally a Persian appears with a
rund black cap and a tassel hanging from
the middle of the crown. The Sarts wear
skull caps made OF scarlet Or green or
blue materials and embroidered with
braids of gilt or some gay color under
their turbans.
Their undergarments are quite as gay
as their outer ones. You can often count
a dozen different hues upon the same
man, and he barefooted, striding slowly
along in the dust, stroking his beard in a
thoughtful way and contemplating the
infinite or something else of similar
Mystery.
But they put all their finery on their
heads and backs and none on their feet
| and legs. These serene and stately ORR
entails wear nothing on their shanks but
.,
and their bare feet are protected from the
gravel only by heelless sandals.
Moses and Aaron went around bareleg-
ged and barefooted. Joseph probably
wore nothing but cotton drawers under
his coat of many colors. Socrates, Mar
| Gus Aurelius. Aristides the Just, Seneca
| and other sages and statesmen of ancient
| times did not consider ii inconsistent
with their dignity to dress that way, and
the Pharaohs of Egypt set the fashion.
The Mohammedan priests wear robes of
| dove color with black girdles, and those
| who are descended from Mohamet wear
turbans of green instead of white muslin.
The men of Samarkand shave their
heads and not their faces. No razor ever
touches cheek or chin. Everybody wears
| a full beard, some of them closely trim
med, but most of them of patriarchal
| length.
We saw only a few women and they
were swathed in cotton or silk shawls
and wore nets of horse hair to hide their
faces.

Tamerlane's Country Palace.

Tamerlane had a country palace sur
rounded by gardents and grove ten VI
twelve miles from the city, but Its ioca-
ton is disputed. Nothing remains OF the
hui1ding or the walls and no one In gem
eratious past took interest enough 10

fra dition concerning the actors and the
incidents and the scenes of the most III.
portant historical events in the history Vi
TurkeStan
Occasionally, however. the visitor
comes across some relic of medieval par
barity. For example within the walls OF
the citadel. where the palace OF the enilf
used to stand, and the other ofhclals OF
the government had their headquarters,
is a subterranean prison Whlch seems
to have been hewn out or the Iock.
II is an immense chamber. dark and
filthy. at least thirty feet from the sur
face of the ground. 1t can be reached
only by a shaft about SIX 1eet square:
Prisoners We're let down by ropes ana
their food and whatever else they Were
permitted to have was lowered in the
same way. 1t is said that nothing ever
came out of the hole.
The rim of the stone curb at the TOP
of the shaft shows grooves that were
worn by the frequent passing of the rope.
The Scripture tells us in sundry places
of similar arrangements. You VIII re-
member that jeremiah was let down
by cords into the dungeon of Maichian
that was in the court of the prison. anu
in the dungeon there was no water put
mire: and jeremiah sunk in the mlre.
/ suppose that many good men, anu
perhaps some of them were prophets,
who offended the despots of Samarkano
had similar experience. The Russians
abolished this old-fashioned method OF
Furnishing offenders and have built a
clean, wholesome and well ventilated jail.

ANCIENT GLORY DEPARTED
RUINS OF GREAT BUILDINGS
BY WILLIAM f.. CURTIS

Special correspondence OF The Star the
Chicago Record Herald.
SAMARkAND, Turkestan. July :. 1910.
This ancient capital of central Asia
reminds me of crippled giant, fallen
helpless and by the wayside: ,lis limbs
too feeble to allow him to arise, and his
fingers so palsied with age that he cam
not wipe the dust from his sightless eyes.
There was a time-perhaps several dis
ffnct epochs separated by centuries
when Samarkand was as much the
source of power and influence in the af-
fairs of the world as London is today:
when its architecture was as much ad-
mired that of Paris or Vienna when
Its scholarship was as famous as that of
Athens. and its ecclesiastical prominence
as great as that of Rome.
Its universities were sought by stu
dents from every corner of the earth
like those of Germany now. Pilgrims
came from every part of the Moham
medan world TO worship at its Shrines.
The empire of Tamerlane, of which
Samarkand was the capital, at the end
of the fourteenth century. extended from
the Nolga and the Danube rivers to the
Ganges, and from the Indian ocean to
the polar sea. The tribute of thousand
tribes and the homage of seven and
twenty conquered nations were laid at
its feet here.
But all this glory has departed. For
five centuries Samarkand has been
dying. Its former greatness is unknown
to, or has been forgotten by, its present
population.
Nations Lore Forgotten.
The priests who of1iciate in the splendid
temples and the professors in the COL
leges could not tell me the names of the
architects. and disputed about the years
of their erection. The present generation
cannot even read the inscriptions over
their portals. and they do not know
where the palace of Tamerlane was
located.
All the imposing structures that once
gave Samarkand its reputation as the
finest city in Asia have either diSap-
peared or are in an advanced stage of
decay or dilapidatiOn. They have been
almost entirely stripped of the adorn-
ments that made them famous. and the
earthquakes that occur every few years
diminish the number of turquoise and
azure domes and the dimensions of the
enameled walls. and increase the heaps
OF debris which now cover the ground.
No effort has been made by govern
ment. priests or people to restore or even
to arrest the ravages of time. or to pro-
tect or preserve the architectural monu-
ments that have stood here for ages
against vandals. earthquakes and other
destructive agencies that have made
Samarkand a wreck of its former mag
nificence.
You would think there would be suff1
cient pride. piety and patriotism in the
Mohammedan world to perpetuate mOnu-
ments and institutions chiefly ecclesiastic
in their origin and purpose, but the same
conditions appear in every country
where Islam prevails, except in Constan-
tinople, Cairo and one or two other
cities

Passing of Islamism.

Islam is dying religion 1t has
reached hopeless stage of decay, if the
appearance of its mosques and medresses
it's shrines the mausoleums of it's saints.
Its cemeteries and other public institu-
tons may be accepted as evidence.
| have never seen new mosque in any
Mohammedan country. l do not know of
one that has been built within the last
century and few have been repaired.
Everywhere the Indifference is the
same Everywhere the same degree of
dilapidation may be found, even in the
most fanatical cities, like Bokhara and
Damascus.
Some writer's have said that the ruins
OF Samarkand are impressive. but to me
they are pitiful. The Indifference of the
priests and the public to their rapid dis
appearance is eXasperating TO every one
who has reverence for historical asso-
Citations and artistic monuments.
The PerSianS used to call Samarkand
the center of the universe-the hub. like
Boston. II was the Athens of Asia for
learning and culture, but a Babylon for
eytravagance and vice. The luxury and
immortality of its rulers and its citizens
was the cause of its decay.
