COINCIDENCE IN ARABI
PASHA'S DEATH.

I Curiously enough, the cables few
days ago, while hot with news OF
the war between Turkey and Italy
brought word at the same time of the
death of the man who, more than any
other, was directly responsible for the
Europeanization of North Africa
Since the day of the bombardment OF
Alexandria, twenty nine years ago, not
many people have given thought to
the whereabouts of Arab Pasha. With
the overthrow of his little rebellion
and the mock trial that followed it,
his Importance to statesman and his
torian ceased to be. Yet there was a
time when he was { source of concern
to Europe.
The son of an Egyptian fellah who,
despite caste prejudice, racial an
tagonism between his people and
their Turkish masters, and the op-
position of the powers which were try
ing to reorganize Egypt's finances,
could rise through the ranks to be-
come minister of war and virtual ruler
could not but have had great force
of character. Had Arab, instead of
scheming and plotting for revenge for
a slight injustice and exercising his
hatred of Western influences, bent his
energies to the real furtherance of
his country's welfare, he would prob
ably have became great man. As it
was, his very antagonism to progress
was made it's instrument.
Apensioner of the government which
he resisted, Arab lived to see his
ideas as to what was good for Egypt
Completely disproved. He died only
month or two too soon to see the
last vestige of the authority for which
he contended swept from the northern
shores of Africa.

PAULINE HAS RETURNED
FROM HER TRIUMPHS.

The suspense which has hung over
the Capital for the past few weeks
has been relieved by soft and gentle
low from the White House stables
which indicate that Pauline has re-.
turned. Every possible precaution
was taken to safeguard her en- route,
and to watch over her while she went
from triumph to triumph at the Wis
consin State Fair. Had she been the
Sacred Bull of Apis she could not
have been more tenderly coddled and
protected from rude contact with the
world. And yet there was an ever.
present fear and dread that something
might happen to rob the bovine circles
of Washington of one of its most
charming ornaments.
1t was only when she safely entered
her stable again and took her accus.
toned place at the overfowing manger
that the Federal Capital heaved a
great sigh of relief.
We are proud of her conquests.
Placed in competition with her former
kindred, friends, and neighbors, she
showed the mettle of her pastures.
She gave rich, creamy evidence that
the aristocratic surroundings in which
she has spent the past few years have
not impaired her sense of duty as a
useful member of society.
Her associates at the fair looked
upon her with mingled envy and ad.
miration. Not one of them, perhaps,
had ever wandered more than an even
ing stroll from home, and yet Pauline
had broadened = her experience by
travel. She had lived almost in sight
of the great Agricultural Department
where Tsma Jim teaches the art of
getting the highest percentage of but.
ter fat from any given cow. She had
fed statesmen and ambassadors and
all the great world which dimes, in the
course of a season, at the White
House..
She has come home bearing her
honors meekly. The ribbons and dec
orations which covered her would
have done credit to the prime minister
of an Oriental despot, and yet, she
takes up the old routine as if she were
but COW of low degree.
With her arrival the fall season may
now be regarded as well under way.
The whole community rises up to ex-
tend to her cordial greeting on her
return.

PROTECTING RIGHTS ..
OF THE SMOKERS
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Smokers rights should be respected
From reading several articles relative to
smoking on street cars one would get
an awful impression Of the smoker.
One says he Is hoodlum, ETC., and
another goes far enough to say he is
a hog. Perhaps Modest does not know
men chew In the closed cars and spit all
over the floor. ...
Some gentlemen have, only the chance
to smoke going and coming from work
and. 1t seems great pity that they
have got to stop smoking just to satisfy
the whlms of few bigoted cranks. ]
do not consider the smokers special
practical, but some provision should be
made for the smoker. The p. A. Y. E.
cars will be very unsatisfactory for Ia
dies after all smoking cars have been
cut out. as the smokers will get their
seats In the cars and let the ladies
hang on to the straps. II you force the
smoker into these closed cars you can't
blame him for not giving up his seat to
ladies. ..,- A. p w.

LET THE DESPOILERS'
NAMES BE GIVEN

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
! heartily agree with an "Old SOL
der" and L. II. NJ in thinking that the
names of the men who sought to dis
honor a young girl should be made
known. Judge De Lacy should have
made an example of them, instead of
protecting and aiding them to preserve
their hypocritical cloak of responsibility

on. Should we not be warned Of dan

Then It all changes, and one sees the
famous garden Of Count Anteoni, the
gem Of the desert oasis, the picture Of
which has been written about so much
and SO glowingly. Yes. It Is sail TO be

that they built on the stage Of the Gen.
tury Theater in New York. all tha. has
been said of its beauty must be true.
We seem to sit in the garde, and look
out into the vista formed by long rows
Of fronded palms to the shimmering
desert as It lies painting In the hot
sunshine. Real water cascades in
the fountains, real flowers glow in the
tropical sunlight everywhere. It lis a
dream garden. brought into reality by
the art OF the stage. Set in the midst
or this garden Is the stone pavilion, and
everywhere are blossoms of all the vivid
colors known to the scenic artist. OF all
the beautiful scenes Of the play, this Is
the most beautiful, and its effect Is
artistically heightened by the contrast
with the desert and street scenes that
precede and follow the two scenes laid
In the garden.
And now we come to the sand storm.
What the chariot race is to Ben Hur,"
what the snow storm Is to way Down
East" what the shipwreck scene Is to
Peer Gynt," what the simeon scene is
to cleopatra" all these and more. the
sand storm Is to THE Garden of Allah"
IT Is a real, bewildering, unbelievable
triumph of the men behind the scenes,
the men who make stage effects. II

After three years Of preparation and

The answer is easy. They didn't make

they didn't even try to make a play of

That. should take 1t to mean is the art

for this Garden OF Allah" spectacle, in
which there Is no need of acting. Such
human elements as there are in the pro-
duction do not speak English, for all
know. When you went through the
streets of Cairo at the Worlds Fair,
you did not care whether the dancers

English or not. Neither will you care
