Morocco Is not SO hot as It Is oftea
supposed to be. The greater part of
the country Is near either the sea or
the mountains, often both, and it Is
only about as far south as Georgia or
Louisiana. The sun is hot, Of course,
at midday, in dry region where the
sky is usually cloudless and the lati-
tude is about like that Of the gulf coast
Of the United States. But the tenn
perature in the shade is seldom e1-
treme-that Is, In the parts Of the coun-
try where the bulk Of the people Live.
South and east Of the mountains, on
the border Of the Sahara desert, the
conditions in respect to heat are alto
gether different, but there the popula-
ton IS small. The people Of Moroc-
co are fanatical Moslems, and they re-
sent bitterly any kind Of pressure to
change old customs or give up old
ways, but they are much less formid-
able than they used to be in the prime
Of Moorish power, especially In COM
parison with the conditions in the adj
ranced countries of the earth.-Cleve.

WILL REPRODUCE
THE BIG GAMES
Gayety Theatre to Have Electric Score
Board for Baseball Fans In Connec-
ton With Hastings Show"

Manager Geo. Peck, Of the Gayety
Theater, Washington, has arranged a
free feature which wil appeal to the
lpvers Of baseball. The first OF the big
games in The championship series be-
tween the Athletic; and the Giants will lie
reproduced in detail by an electric score
board on the stage of the Gayety this
afternoon. The games will be report.
ed by leased wire direct from the ball
park. This big feature will be given in
conjunction with the musical comedy
presented by the World Of Pleasure"
company. and contrary to custom,
there will be in advance in the price Of
seats. The regular matinee tickets
will entitle the holders 10 see not only
the burlesque offering but the first
pictorial news OF the game which will
decide tho championship.
The same policy will be pursued all
next week when each of the games will
be reported by leased wire from the
scenes OF contest the free feature being
given in conjunction with the Harry
Hastings Show which is said to be a
carnival OF beauty and continuous
chain of merriment. This production
is one Of the finest OF its kind, and in
fact being more nearly a spectacular
musical aggregation than the common
ly called burlesque attraction. The
decorations in The Hastings Show"
with its unique and brilliant iliunina-
tons come from the electrical depart
ment of one of New Works. most
famous mechanics; while the coStuming
is the creation OF a noted Partisan
theatrical costumer, Mile. B. Walters.
The burlettas offer something entirely
new; are picturesque and gay in sur
roundings, bright and witty in dialogue
and reflect i'll their beauty pretty scenes
from fairyland.
A number Of clever vaudeville fea-
lures are interspersed in the medley OF
mirth and music, thus making the
whole an attraction we'll worth the
place it has achieved in the foreranks
OF burlesque offerings.
There will be daily matiuees at
Washington's pretty Ninth street play
house as usual.

RUINS ATTACKS GOMPERS.

William ]. Burns, former govern.
ment secret service agent and detective
who worked up the evidence in the case
against the Mcnamara brothers now
on trial in Los Angeles. CAL, in Clere.
land, Ohio, last night vigorously assail'
ed Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation OF Labor.
The charge of President Gompers
made in New York, Tuesday, that the
case against the Mcnamara brothers is
a conspiracy against union labor, is
worse than asinine, said Burns.
say this, well knowing that my pro-
fessIonal reputation is at stake. / am
willing to stand or fall by the evidence
as it will be produced 10 the trial. And
I say that the evidence is not only com
plete, but overwhelming.
1T is charged by President Gompers
and the same report is being sent out
from Los Angeles, that the prosecution
is afraid to place J. J. Mcnamara, the
union official, on trial, first, because
the evidence against him is incomplete.
In plain language, that is falsehood,
intended to stir up public prejudice.
Detective Burns made public the in
formation that the union labor cam
paign to raise funds for the Mcnamara
defense has heen closely watched from
its Inauguration. He emphatically dis
putes the statement OF Clarence S. Oar
row, in charge OF the defense of the two
brothers, that but 100000 so far has
been raised for the trial.
"As a matter of fact" says Burns,
more than a 100000 has already
been raised. We know that to be a
fact. We have cumulative evidence.
The country ia to know in detail con-
corning the raising OF this fund. And
with information will 60 positive evid.

and how it has been expended"

(Ry G.. T.. BURROWS E~ngland.)
The Shire horse is essentially the
English farmers own. Across the
border the Clydesdale holds sway. 1t
is t1attering to the English breeder to
know that America and Canada are
now taking more Shires than they
have eve done before.
England today is being constantly
secured by American buyers for the
right kind of Shire horses.

clined to get quality at the expense Of
weight and substance. Shows are the
best advertisement that tn English
tenant-farmer has for getting rid of
his wares to the landlord or the rich
breeder.
Shows in an English summer are as
plentiful as sparrows. They are held
upon the slightest pro~Vocation. where
two or three horse breeders are gath
cred together.
One of the most gratifying features
of the Shire horse breeding in the I'D
country. is that the rich man settles
in the locality or suddenly comes
prominent as a breeder Of hrst-class
animals. He spends no end Of money
on buying and maturing
These often fall into the OF
