eokAARA's POOL.
A Bazaar Day In the Capital "at the
Back of the Worid.'


Bskhara, that strange capital at
the back of the world, on which ev-
cry road in Asia is said to have con-
verged, might well be called the
Mecca of central Asia. 1t is more
than thai, for, besides being a re-
ligious center, it is also great cap
ital and trade center.
The name of Bokhara is well
known, yet it has been visited by
but few. Fifty years ago it was as
in1pregnable as Lassa, and Of the
few travellers who penetrated to
within it's walls fewer still ever
came out again Bokhara is COM
pletely surrounded by a wall, and l
had to enter by one of the eleven
gates. If by chance l had been be-
nighted should have had to stay
outside, or at least leave my cara
van behind and enter by the tiny
door beside the main gate, through
which man can literally only just
squeeze.
When once inside the walls the
whole pageant of the east burst on
me-intense light and shade, bril-
liant colors, the richness Of the
great men and the squalid poverty
of the beggars, the cleanliness Of
the mosques and the filth Of the
streets, the aching glare of the
cloudiess sky and the cool shade of
the deep bazaars Nowhere in the
world, l claim, can such a perfect
picture of the unspoiled, unregener
ated east be seen as in Bokhara 1t

Nights" had been put upon stage.
Here one looks down through a
long vista Of years and sees the east
as it was long before the west ex-
listed.
Let us stand a minute beside the
spool" This is the very heart Of
the city and is situated in square
surrounded by giant nadresas and
a motley crowd Of booths and shops.
Here at midday the people OF Box
hara congregate to pray in the
mosques near by and to take meal
on the terraces that surround the
pool. Men of every eastern race as
semble here. One can see Afghan
and Hindu, Persian, Arab and Mon
gol, wild looking Turkoman and
slouching Tartar, all enjoying the
delights Of a bazaar day in Bokhara.

BURNS AS AN exclsEMAH
Old Jean Davidson Was Too Smart
For the Scot Peat

A story is told about Robert Burns
IN his capacity of excisenan. Old
Jean Davidson kept small whisky
shop and was suspected Of putting
more fresh water into her liquor
than was neediul or lawful. Burns
accordingly came with his appara-
tus and at once detected the irregu-
larity.
Now, Jean, ma woman" he said,
Il Gamma tax this to Dunfries this
night, It's over late. But Ill seal it
WI the kings seal and return to lift
it in the morning"
When he had gone to his lodging
Jean fetched the village cooper,
who renoved d hoop from the bar
rel and bored hole, through which
the adultcrated liquor was drawn of
and stuff of regulation strength put
in. Then the hole was plugged and
the hoop was retixed, and Jean, with
brave heart, awaited the gauger.
In the morning up came Burns to
claim the key.

Jean sweetly. "Ye might jest test
that whisky to convince me, since !

taken and tested and, Of course
found to be all right. Burns was
bewildered. "Was there aught

asked.
"Weel, Mr.. Burns, It's ma for me

March 2, 1896, he was made COM

since he was a charity student at
Brienne. In the meantime he had

at Toulon had. won the distinction
which he knew would give him the
opportunity he longed for. The OPP
portunity came when the directory
commissioned him to see what he
could do against the Austrians in
Italy
When he took connand of the
army of Italy it was composed Of
but 10000 ragged, half starved sol

world will never cease to wonder.
In brief campaign Of wonderful

to how campaigns should be planned

also for All PAM aas H.

around town with Howard and Wissig

men were arrested, was brought from
San Francisco yesterday and was ar

of unlawfully importing and concealing
opium. The case was continued until
Wednesday for him to plead. Snyder
put up certified check for $1,000 with

BOTTOM DROPS OUT
OF CRAFT CHARGE
ABOUT CAMPBELL

the statements in the press. regarding
allegations emanating from Kohala,
would indicate that a charge of graft
had been made against Superintendent
of Public Works Marston Campbell,

bell would not be mixed up with graft
in any case" added the Governor.
The bottom dropped entirely from
under those responsible for the publ.
cation of the charge against Campbell
when Speaker Holstein wirelessed to
the Bulletin from Kohala Yesterday
made. y
1t was alleged by the Kohala MIDGET
that Speaker Holstein of the house of
representatives, of a meeting of the
kohala Civic League, ffpublicly
charged Mr., Campbell with attempting
to thwart the legislature, and with
graft" in connection with the Mahn.
kona wharf.
MI. Holstein now enters a direct de.
NAL Of the allegation. Meanwhile Mr..
Campbell is all unconscious Of the stir
which has been caused in the Islands
concerning the matter and is ENJOYING
visit to his old home in Oakland.
The delay in getting on with the
wharf is accounted for ON other
grounds than graft. Governor Frear
said yesterday:
We expect to go ahead with the
wharf right after the first of July. We
hope to have everything in readiness by
that time. The harbor commission does
not come in until the first of July.
