AROUND THE WORLD.
Gorgeous East in Review-Durbar City's $30,
000,000 Throne and 600 Elephants.
THE FAMOUS DESERTED CITY OF AMBER
Indian Prince Possesses 4005 Wives Where Vultures Consume the Dead,
Leprosy AQounds Hod Carriers Arc Women'-Largest, Finest Depot
In the World The Hunter's Paradise, India.
Romiiay, India, Jan. 31, 1903.
i In the mfitiny of 1S57 more British
soldiers were killed at Delhi than in
the campaigns about Lucknow, Cawn
pore and Agra. One mile, northwest
of the Mori gate is the historic ridge
where the most severe fighting oc
curred. It was a case of 9,000 Brit
ons against 40,000 armed Sepoys, who
had 114 heavy cannon besides an
abundance of stores. No other sol
diers under the union jack ever fought
against greater odds or achieved for
England a greater victory.
Within the fort are the palace halls
and Pearl mosque. Referring to this
scene in her book, "On the Face of the
Waters," Mrs. Steele speaks of "four
rose-red fortress walls hemming in a
few acres of earth where the last of
the Mogul emperors, in 1857 still
dreamt a dream of power among the
golden domes, marbla eolonades and
green gardens with which his ancestors
had crowned the eastern wall." Fur
ther mention is made of "a cool breezy
world of white and gold and blue
clasping a garden set with flowers and
fruit, with blue sky, white marble eol
onades and golden domes vaulting and
zoning the burnished leaves of the
orange trees where the green fruit hung
like emeralds above a tangle of rosas
And marigolds, chrysanthemums and
orimson amaranth." A noted poet
visiting this scene could command only
eleven words in describing it:
"If on eartli be an Eden of bliss
It is this, its this, it is this."
The peacock throne which once
.graced this building was removed to
Persia by its king wluen he invaded
India in 1739 and captured Delhi.
That throne is said fo have cost
530,000,000. The stand upon which it
, rested is still in its old place and was
used as a tea table during the festivi
ties attending the Durbar. I ascended
the throne where the ancient' kings
were accustomed to hold court and re
ceive the diplomats of foreign powers.
The throne is of marble, having birds,
animals and flowers inlaid with pre
cious jewels, rate and costly. Milton
had in mind a scene less gorgeous than
this when he wrote:
"High on a throne of royalty which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormuzaud of Ind
Or where the gorgeous East with richest
hand
-Showers on her kings barbaric pearl and
gold."
It was at Delhi that thi Durbar was
held formally proclaiming Edward VII.
emperor of India. Lord Curzon and
the colonial secretary planned the big
..fair and are now receiving the plaudits
of the world for the success of the un
dertaking. Arriving after the Durbar
was over I had a better opportunity to
see many of the exhibits than if I had
been present while the unwieldy crowd
was in the city. Rents soared beyond
all reason. A cottage .that formerly
rented at 30 rupees a month brought
i,Coo rupees per month during the
Durbar season. Some were forced to
pay from 30 to Go rupees per day to
' stay in a trnt. The places of interest
were so far apart that many wore tin-
' .able to get about on account of the
scarcity of carriagos, which when
' available cost 5 rupees per hour. At
'least 45,000 British troops wore pres
ent, some having marched from such a
distance that they were almost five
.months in coming and will require the
.'same time to return, utilizing neatly a
year to make a show at the evfcnt of a
century. In the parade were Goo ele
phants, besides camels and horses by
,the thousand. The Indian museum
and art exhibit remains and is visited
. by thousauds who were unable to see it
durins the rush. To catalogue or de
scribe it would require a volume. I
saw one elephant tusk carved through
out with Indian history scones that
sold for i, 000 rupees (S320).
Having spent two days at Delhi, I
next visited Jeyporc, 191 miles to the,
southwest. This city, often spoiled
Jaipur or Jeypur, is mentioned by the
railway guide as "the most intoraatinK
city in India," hut it did not appear
thus to me. Immediately after arriv
ing I sent application to the resident
requesting the privilege of visiting the
palace of the rajah and the old dosqrt
1 city of Amber, seven mile away,
which was granted, the rajah, or native
prince, providing an olephant from his
stable for the trip up the hill to the old
city gate. The resident is a British ap
pointed official who acts conjointly
with the rajah.
Amber was the capital up to 1728
but was then abandoned for the new
city, Jeyporc, which now boasts of
150,000 people, surrounded by a wall
of red sandstone, entered by seven
gates. On the streets a motley crowd
is everywhere to be seen. The visitor
is shown the school of art, carpet
weavers, brass workers and the palace
of the rajah, where his five wives keep
each other company and keep his but
tons firmly sewed by calling the assist
ance of as many of his 4,000 extra
wives or women slaves as occasion
may demand. How slighted tho ordi
nary bachelor must feel when
he Icarus that one man in India can
boast of four thousand and five" wives 1
The Wind palace at Jeypore, over
which many visitors go wild with de
light, was rather tame to my notion
after seeing the beauties of Delhi and
Agra. A glimpse at the crnbattlcments
of the old, ruined, descried city of
Amber was sufficient for me, but the
large collection of tigers in that city
interested me. My passing" the bars
in front of the largest one, which is
said to have killed ten men, caused
him as well as others to leap against
the large iron bars with screams that
reminded me of the north Pacific
storm and my thousand wildcats in a
fight to the finish as they were molest
ed by a dozen rattling runaway freight
trains accompanied by as many cy
clones in collision.
Street life in Jeypore as well as in
any other Indian city finds a counter
part in these words of Sir Edwin
Arnold:
Forth fared they by the common way
afoot
Seeing the glad and sad things of the
town:
The painted streets alive with hum
of noon,
Tho traders cross-legged mid their
spice and grain,
The buyers with their money in their
cloth
The war of words to cheapen this or
that
The shout to clear the roads, the huge
stone wheels,
The strong slo.v oxen and their rus
tling loads,
The singing bearers with their palan
quins, Tho broad-necked hamals sweating in
the sun,
The house-wives bearing water from
the well
With balanced chatties, and athwart
, their hips
The black-eyed babes; the fly-swarmed
sweetmeat sliop,
The weaver at his loom, the cotton bow
Twanging, the mill stones grinding
meal, the dogs
Prowling for orts.
"Here a throng
Gathered to watch some chattering
snake-tamer
Wind round his wrist the living jewelry
Of asp and nag, or charm the hooded
death
To angry dance to . drone of beaded
gourd;
Therca long time of drums and gourds
which went
With steeds gay painted and silk can
opies To bring the young bride home; and
here a wife
Stealing with cakes and garlands to
the god
To pray her husband's safe return
from trade
Or beg a boy next birth; hard by the
booths
Where the swart potters beat the noisy
brass
For lamps and lotas'; then by temple
walls
And gateways, to the river."
I was glad to leave Joypore and be
gin the 700 mile trip to Bombay where
I could rest and do as I liked until the
day of sailing for Port Said.
Bombay is a great city of aboutone
million souls. Its "depot is built like a
palace and my friends say that it is the
'finest depot in the world. Why men
will stack yp so much cash in such a
structure is another wonder of the
world. I will not say the greatest won
der in the world because I am trying
to bo careful in the use of superla
tives. Calcutta is ahoad of Bombay
in having oloetric cars while horse cars
are the beet this city affords.

Hand Cream Separators
A good sqparator will earn sufficient extra profits to pay for itself in a
short time, to say nothing of the work it saves you. A good separator
is one which turns easily, which skims clean, which is easily cared for,
which is simple in construction so as not to get out of order, and which
is durable so as to last without endless repairs. Such a machine is the
Empire, Easy-Running Cream Separator.
Yen may test it in your own dairy before paying for it. The highest
market price paid for hand separated cream delivered to your nearest
U. R. Station bv HYGEIA CREAMERY CO., Omaha, Neb.
