CHAPTER XVII.
I Am Introduced 10 President

Stevelan0.
Long before the season Of 1888 came 10
a close the fact that we were going
abroad became known to every baseball
Tan In the country and made US tho
most talked-about team in the business.
Posters OF the most attractive sort were
struck on by the wagon load and the
newspapers were full Of Il. Talk about
puolSity-the public eye certainly was
chSck~u of us that summer.
When the subject was first discussed
no one connected the enterprise
ever dreamed that II would expand into
a o around the world, but such II
proved to be. We met with so much
encouragement on every side, and Mr.,
Lynch came back from his advance trim
TO Australia with such glowing accounts
OF his success In interesting the folks
over there in the PROJECT that we came
TO the conclusion that the entire globe
was wild TO see US, and we made up
our minds to give IL a chance.
Now wouldn't got have thought that
with such an opportunity to see some
thing OF the world every bali player In
the country would have been mighty
keen to get a place on that picked team.
which 1t mad been decided to call the
All-Americas? Greatly TO my astonish-
ment, as we'll as that of Mr.. Spalding
and all the others connected with the
scheme. there was no special rush 10
aft into the game. Ten players OF the
Chicago club signed to go without much
russ, but the making up OF the ALI
America team was quite another matter.
Some OF the players who had seemed
eager to 90 backed out at almost the
last moment. among them Mike Kelly
of the Bostons and Mike Herman OF the
New Yorks. Some cheerful IDIOT told
the latter that the New Zealand can
nlbals ate only one kind of meat. and
that did the business for Mike.

ForeWeH Game in Chicago.

on oct. ~ the Chicago and All-Ameri-
CO teams played a farewell game on
the League grounds In Chicago. 1t was
a pleasant afternoon and a big crowd
assembled TO give us a proper send-off.
1t was a lot game. one OF the very
l~iveliest I ever look a hand in. or
course We didn't want to be beaten by
the All-Americas on our W grounds
Just as We were starting IN to show
the world What a wonderful bunch we
were. but it would have tickled the
picked nine to death II they could have
dom the trick. and they tried II for an
they we're worth.
II idn't m~aterialize. We won by a
score OF IL 10 .. and that very night We
were Off on the first trip around the
world ever made by American ball
players. n trip that was so full of ad-
venture and so unique in it's character
that It will stand forever in the annals
of the game as a thing to be remem-
bered.
Nor did 1t interfere a little bit with
my anticipation OF a royal good time
TO have II suggested to me by some of
my friends. and to realize 1t perfectly
myself. tina no matter how big a sue
cess II might turn out to be from a
financial and professional standpoint It
was going to be the most telling adver-
,isement for a certain sporting goods
business ever devised by human in
genuity.

vertising. As for the rest-well, my

The average Moslem is appallingly ig-
norant, generally unable to read or
write, and sure, as they have told me.
that the greatest city in the world is
that wherein the Caliph has his
throne, Constantinople. They verify
believe-that is, those in interior Tur-
key-that the other nations are incon-
siderable. At Mecca they are learn
ing otherwise, to the real peril Of
Turkeys power.
A Menace to Turkeys Power.
This is one explanation of the some,
what reactionary policy which has
been noted of late on the part of the
Young Turks: They are deliberately
trying to allay the feeling of distrust
on the part of the more rigid Mos
lens. They see that they must con-
serve the one tie that makes them q
nation, the religion of Islam. If the
Bedouins, who never have thought
much of the Turks religion, follow
the more orthodox Wahabis, in their
crusade for an Islam truer to type,
then indeed will hard times have
dawned for Constantinople
Even the new movement of troops,
which sends men from Syria and Kur-
distan and Asia Minor into European
Turkey, and mans the Yrmen bar
racks and expeditions into Arabia
with Christians and Jews tram Mace
donia and the coast, is q factor in
spreading discomfort. All of these
men, Willingly or not, are propaganda
lists of the new order 1t was a mo-
mentous day for civilization, and for
Turkey, when the authorities decided
to enlist followers of the Prince OF
Peace in the army of the prophet.

troops quickly to the scene OF frequent
disturbances by the turbulent Bedou-
ms Without it, the control of the
Hejaz region was merely nominal q
government by entreaty and brides to
the lawless tribes.
And Hejaz province, so little known
to the world, and a mere desert waste,
is the most important of the Turkish
possessions This anomaly is eX-
planned by the statement that the two
holy cities of Islam, Mecca and Me-
dina, are within the HejaZ. By virtue
of the possession of these Turkey
holds the Caliphate, and is regarded
Great Britain rules several times as
many Moslems as Turkey. But it is
Turkeys hold upon the followers of
the prophet that enables this queerly
assorted empire to hang together. Ii
she loses the Hejaz, it will be shortly
all up with her. None the less, there
are many students of the situation, l
myself among the number, who look
to see Great Britain in control of all
of Arabia before many years.
Two years ago the Hejaz railway
was completed as far as Medina,
amid great jubilations. 1t is doubtful
if il will be pushed through to Mecca
for long time to come; at least, not
until this question of the turbulent
Bedouins is settled. For nearly its
whole length the road runs through
absolute desert. Special cars were
built to carry water. The fear of the
Arabs is so great that some of the
passenger coaches are armored-and
noisy, rattly boxes they are, not to
speak of their filth. The schedule, and
general management, would be count
ed farcical by American railroad
men; even certain roads in the south
ern states are punctuality itself, as
compared with this single train day.
Most of the cars are third class, a
frst-class coach being run once a
week In the transportation of sol
diers and pilgrims, freight cars are
employed. / have seen sheep cars,
with slat sides and two floors, filled
with passengers, each of whom car
ries his own bedding and cooking ar
rangements with him. Still, this is a
great improvement over the three-mile
an hour camel caravan.
The High Tide of Pilgrims.
1t has been the governments prac-
money annually among the Bedouins,

as blackmail, to insure some degree
of immunity for the pilgrim caravans.
Not until this year did Constantinople
feel strong enough to dispense with
this disgraceful tribute. This is one
reason for the present uprising of the
Arabs. Another is that this is the first
time the immemorial Damascus cara
vans have ceased altogether to go by
camels. The road is in complete
working order and news of it's opera
ton seems to have penetrated to the
remotest corners of the Moslem
world.
In consequence, there has been an
influx of pilgrims beyond all prece'
dent. 1t has completely swamped the
railways facilities. Pilgrims from the
remote interior of Asia, after travel
ing months, have been obliged to wait
days and weeks at Damascus, at the
imminent risk of missing the cere-
monies at Mecca, which, occurring but
once a year, give the participant the
right to the coveted title of hail"
The best estimates obtainable, place
the number of pilgrims who kept Bal
ram this December at Mecca at more
than a quarter of a million.
These pilgrims, who have always
been regarded as potent unifying
factor in the Turkish empire, are also
a means of spreading the worlds I'M
rest, even as they are the greatest
single factor in the spread of cholera.
They carry to the remotest bounds of
Turkeys territory the disintegrating
news of the changes that have come
to pass, so that an infidel Christian is
proclaimed as the equal of faithful
follower of the prophet. They repeat
the stories of the Young Turks re-
ligious laxity, and of the serious con-
sequences involved in the enrolment
of Christians in that army which be-
levers have regarded as the modern
sword of the prophet.
The Most Cosmopolitan City on Earth.
There are other grave consequences
involved in this wonderful coming to-
gether of multitudes from many lands;
for be it remembered that the most
cosmopolitan city on earth is not New
York or London or Paris, but this
productless city of Mecca, in the ster-
lie desert of Arabia However neg
ligible the pilgrims may be individual
", and the trainmen treat them with
utmost contempt, they are scattering
seeds OF national unrest. Ottoman
Moslems hear how justice cannot be
hought but is freely given to high and
low, IN the Moslem ruled by Great
Britain and the United States.
They exchange news of the worlds
progress and politics; and who can
wonder il some well-informed pilgrim
from India or Egypt puts forth the
prophecy that soon airships win be
flying over the desert, setting at
naught the remoteness which has
been the Arabs immemorial defense?

Social Distinction.

In some parts of the south the
darkies are still addicted to the old
style country dance in a big hall, with
the fiddlers, banjoists and other mu-
sicians on the platform at one end.
At one such dance held not long
ago in an Alabama town, when the
fiddlers had duly resined their bows
and taken their places on the plat
form the floor manager rose.

Clothes Baskets.

One of the largest imports from
Russia into America IS willow clothes
baskets. The huge hampers so COM
monty in use are nearly all made in
central Russia by peasants, although
some come from the Danube valley,
and there is considerable domestic
manufacture. The importations last
year exceeded one million dollars
worth.
Osier willow, from which they are
made, has been worked by Russian
peasants for centuries and was for
merly the material from which they
wove their houses. The method OF
cutting, peeling, twisting and manip.
ulating the withes is handed down
from father to son.

green.
According to q statement from the
Importers association, the trade all
over the country is unanimous in ap-
proving the new regulation. Green
tea will still be green, but the color
will be more natural. The artificial
coloring heretofore used by the Chi
nese to emphasize the greenness Of
their product and to impart a uniform
color and gloss to the leaves, charm
less dye. will be eliminated.
THE general public here knows 1T

consumption is only one pound a year,
whereas in Canada 1t is six pounds and
in Great Britain nearly seven pounds.
