Mr. Farah IB n young Syrian who has come to America to see the lanll or whch so many w : nderrul things are told I In the Orient , and to stully dentstry with the ; Intention of practicing the profession In Alexandria , Egypt. Mr. Farah brought . w1th hIm the rellnlsc lcCS of n romantic and adventurous career. When asked by The Bee to name the strngest Bight he had seen In the Soullan , Mr. Farah1 after heSItatIng n memento said : "Thero were so many . Itranle scenes and experiences I hardly Imow which to mention Orst. One o'the . odllest was 0 lovers' ( luel. "Courtship among the Soullanese , like that ' or ether Oriental races , Is a Ilcllerlng con . fcrenco between the two families . and binges up n tha size or the present tim bridegroom can make the brhle's arenta. Some tunes It happens that a girl attracts two lovers and then there Is a lellhtul entertain- ment In store for the whole vllag . The 'oung men notify the sheik of the situation and he appoints 0 tme and place ] for the rivals ] to meet anll settle the prcclenco In the girls nfecton by n test cf endurance. The Soudaneso train themselves to bear pain , even torture , with fortitude . and the - greatest shame that can befall a warrior Is to make a sign of flinching . no mater . how great his suferings , In one or their rellous ! ceremcnles the men are slashed : with knivEs , and during the Cleraton the lubject boastngly names his forefathers for several generations and recounts their dceds , ot valor. "Whon the rival I'\'ers meet nt the designated - : nnted place for their duel the whole village - Is on hand and the most Interested spectators - tor arc tile women The sheik draws two . lines In the sand about live feet apart. These . - mark the distance at wheh ! ' the combatants ' . , arc to light.'lien they toe time mark both are naked , and are armed with six-foot : whips made < hippopotamus hide. At a signal from the sheik the rlvnb begin lash- Ing each other with all the strength anti skill required by long practice. The cruel whlp3 not only raise wcls on the body but ' the tips bite oft patches of skin The raw t flesh Is exposed her and there the black : bodies are soon turned red by the ozing . gore , and the contest becomes disgustingly brutal-except to the Soudanese. The duel : continues until one of the combatants Is t betrayed by quivering nature Into a grcan , or until one sinks traIn exhaustion. Gener- - . oily the defeated lover , rather than surer the scorn of his friends anti relatives . slinks away and Joins another village. AND THE VICTOR WINS THE GII" . "After marriage there Is a honeymoon of fifteen to thirty days varying according to I the wealth of tha groom. During that time ho remains In the house with . his wife . and , when not asleep he keeps up a constant : parade btiilnd his door , arm d wIth sword ' spear anti gun if I h : has one. That Is a declaration of war against any man who dare enter his home. and It Is smolmes quite necessary for rival lovers occasionally : , steal newly-made brides from their rightful husbands. . "Ono' [ the strangest sights to me waste to sea the Soudanese walking about uncon- ceredly with their heads apparently on Ore. Mosquitoes were very thick and to ward : them off the Soudanes3 twisted a peculiar ) ? fibre into a rope wound that around the - head and set It dn fire.

His father engaged In ' J engineering works was the leading citizen c the village. From the neighboring , bills young Farah could look for out Into ' the Mediterranean . and eighty miles away ' beynd ths whlte.wlnged ships floating along : the blue ribbon of sea , the hms at the Isle ' at Cyprus challenged his curiosity. Ills boy- . Ish breast was filled wlh longings to know - " more of the big world eutslde. These aspirations - . .

They only attack an article on the part In contact with the grounll , and will not climb up the sides. The Soudanee hang up everything likely to be coveted for a meal by the ants , and they sleep on cots wIth legs that have been charred In Ore. These ants are cnl' found In isolated places where there Is no sand. They seem to have an aversion to the light . and they are guided to their food by smell or perhaps an instinct. "The most common food ot the Soullanese Is corn On n campaign the warrior carries n supply In a gotskln at his belt. lIe cats the cant raw , just as anImals do In America , and It I he run out or rood ho tightens his belt , which relieves his hunger somewhat.

Dec. 15.-There II absolutely - solutely no clew to the perpetrators at the horrible murder of Eugene _ Weir the drug clerk , who was so foully murdered about 1 o'clock Friday morning , as le was preparing to leave the store for the night. The police seem to bo absolutely In the damIc . their main efforts being directed to tracing the young man's past and his associates , both male and emale. Time robbery theory has been abandoned , nnd the motive at the murder Is now ascribed to Jealousy. either on the part of some one for a woman's devotions or of a discarded sweetimeart. Weir was on familiar terms with a number of women , so many at his female friends calling to see him at the drug Blare that the proprietor was obliged to Interdict these receptions. The number at wounds on the dead man's breast indicate fury emi time part at the murderer and many believe a woman's scorn wielded the fatal knife . Neither mrney nor valuables were removed - moved from the deal man's person nor the store and the only theory considered tenab Is that a woman Is directly or indirectly responsible for the crime. .

DEFECTS IN I TIlE BALTIMORE PLAN DrRfel1 by limo lankerl for limo lene t ot the liarmkvrs-itow It Wonld Alcet DCloslors-\ \ " Specile for the Imttlon'a Ills . Tie Panic or 1893 , and other prior timereto has convinced the financiers or this country that something must be done to gin , relief to financial institutions during a panic , by creating seine kind or an elastic curt rency. Today I Is the leading topic of dlscuslon , , anll many valuable suggestions and plans have been presented by the leall- Ing bankers , financiers all statesmen or our country The Itresent ridiculous anti embarrassing - barassIng Ilrcdlcament or our country , with Its outstnllng gold bonds , United States notes treasury note , silver anti gold certn- cates which can be 6U manlpulatell as to compel the government to Issue many hun- drells of milons of bonds without securing proper relief , Is ale n vital queston and neo9 prompt atenton , The president In his last message refers to tIme matter In the following language : "Nothing could be worse or urlher removed - moved from sensible finance than tIme relations - latons existing between the currency tIl goverument has IssuOl , the gold held for its redempton , amid the means which can bE resorted to for the purpose of replenishing such redempton und when Impaired. Even I time claims upon thi und were connned to the obligations orlglualy Intended , ali I the redempton of these obligations meant their cancdlatlon , the fund would be very small . Dul these obligations when received In goll are .not cancectl : , but , are , reisatmed , and , , . may 10 luty many tImes uy ITWlg g011 nom the treasury. Thus we have au endless chain In alteration , constantly Ileve10plng and never nearIng financial rest. " TIme president also enlorses the Dalmore plan with the changes suggested by Secre- lary Carlisle. No nation In the wend bas or Is entitled to as muc'n creTlt as ours \\'hy then should we not bo able to free our- selves anti rot be dependent upon other nations. We have It In our power to do so , anti let us l1vO the courage to do It I w are to remain strictly upon a gold basis , or bimetahhism . let us hayo the courage to Issue I $1,000.000,000. or I necessary $ 2OOOOOO,0OO at bonds and go Into the markets of the world and buy up the gold. Such n moye en our part would soon compel the European nations to cry aloud for an international monetary agreement , anti establish an In- ternatonal basis for gold and silver. And why should a nation like ours be con- stanty at war with other natons upon the I monetary queston ? Let us so arrange the ' indebtedness of this country that It wi be owned by ourselves and receivable and pay- able In the current moneys of our own coun try and not be a slave to lrltsh gold. Every dollar of government , state and county bonds ought to be and can be owned by our osn people and utilized through proper channels - nels to establish an absolutely safe , elastic anti acceptable currency to all , except per- haps the brokers . trust companies or gold mononmetalhlsts. For the past Ylar and a hal I have given time queston above rererred to special time ali attention . and have conceived a plan which I consider Is worthy of consideration , anti which I thInk wi accomplish all that the Baltimore plan claims and much marc. I do not approve of the Baltimore plan , and can see no benefit to 0 derived from it . except - cept by the bankers who can receive a largo deposit of money tram the government at a very nominal price. The Baltimore plar does not assist the govlrnment to refund the present gold bonds , or help the government to retire th9 $ SQ0O0OO0O of currency wimloim Is I exchangeabe : for goiu . nnn wmcnas plceu this government In such a ridiculous and embarrassing position. The Baltimore plan would also work a great Injustice to depositors of the banlt. To. illustrate : A bank with $100,000 capital receives - Iustrate celve3 $50,000 tram the government A panic comes en and the depoitors commence to withdraw their deposits The bank realizes upon Its , assets as quickly as possible , by col- lecting . selling and rediscounting , and , as a last resort , It ask the government for the 25 per cent emergency Issue , which would be . $75.000 that the bank owes the government. The depositors continue to withraw their I money and the bank becomes Insolvent and closes its doors Any person familiar with insolvent - solvent banks knows that their assets would be worth more I the bank had not failed. Now then , what Is the position of the depositors - positors cf the Insolvent bank under the Baltimore - tmore plan ? I Is sImply this , that after the government has been paid $75,000 and all expenses of closing time affairs ot the bank have been paid the depositors receive what Is left and In most cases there would be noth- lag left for them. 'he plan I advocate wilt give the following result : First , I wi create a demand for the 2 per cent bends , with the proceeds of which all other government notes treasury notes silver and gold certificates and other evIdences - fences of Indebtedness can be retired. I would leave time government with but n single obligation , namely the 2 per cent bonds , payable - able In the currency funds or the government. The currency of the government whleh would be the current fund would then consist at , fIve kinds , namely , gold , silver . national bank notes , nickels and pennies. The gold to be coined In denomlnatous of $5 , $0 and $20. The naUonal bank notes not less than $10 , silver In 10 cents 25 cents , 50 cents and $1. This plan would force all the silver now on hand Into cIrculation. The plan I propose would ( ur. , nl.h bonds sutclent not only for banks , but a security In which the people can Invest theIr savings. Time government In turn to Issue bonds to retro all its evidences or indebtedness . ness as quickly ] as possible anti Invest front time to time In state bonds drawing 3 per cent which would bo an absolutely safe Investment - vestment and also n source of revenue to the government. The states In turn would be jus- tOed In Issuing state bonds In order to In- vest In county bcnds drawing 4 per cent I \vould \ be m saving to the taxpayers of most counties and also a source or revenue to the state When the government's credit stands belminti the currency It _ says to every citizen , "You must remain loyal to our Interest. " No other government would question Its sta- bility or valuo. Time Baltimore plan only obligates - lgates the assets at the bank to mnlntaln our currency , which I am satisfied would not create a curerey which would be satisfactory at home and abroad , The outline of my plan Is as follows : The government to lassIe fifty-year 2 per cent semi-annual bonds , nontaxable" receivable and payable In the current funds or time country to be delivered to time banks or Individuals at par wihout expense to time imurcimaser . all as fast as time government receives any United States notes treasury notes silver or gold certificates. or any gold bearing bonds In payment of a new isstie . to cancel them The national banking law chsngell to permit banks . at $25,000 capital In towns at 5,000 Inhabitants or less . $10,000 capital In towns of 1,000 or less and also repeal the law compelling banks to keep a legal tender reserve a I consider the 25 per cent mentoned here- after a a sufficient Ilrotecton to depositors. To compel every national bank to Invest time full amount at Its capital stock In the new Issue or 2 per cent bonds and deposit the same whim the government , paying for such bonds wltl any or the current funtls , or any past issue of government bonds. Said bonds to be taken by the government at a price which would bo an average for the year 189' , a quoted In the New York market or any other equitable basis agreed upon by time Treasury department tram tiT to time. Time go\'erment to issue to the banks 75 per cent ot limo bonds deposlee In currency to be uniform and In denonminatlonsnot loss than $0. $ from whIch ttmq bank Is to be exempt - empt from any taxation whatever Upon demand by the officers of the bank. time gov- enment II t issue an additional 25 per cent currency for which time bank Is to pay a ' per cent tax and return time 25 per cent _ Issue to the government by paying 25 per cent or such extra issue , respectively , In timreo Ib , nine and twelve months wlieh would retre the extra issue In one year , thereby giving the country an elastic currency and better security for the depositors. Time government to lave deposited at IOml commercial iler II each state ant territory , the 25 per cent I emergency currency * , o that It can be quIckly Ilelveretl to the bana requestul it. I also recommend that UI ' government shall be allowed , front tmd tQ1me , to issue bonds In any necessary extt't to supply , not only the demands at the brks. but also to furnish the government wftl..fmimids to Invent In state bonds , Ilrnwlng : per cent , which would give the government 1"'lbsolutely sale Invest- ment antI a reventIt 1 per cent thereby Giving the states nn , opportunity to invest In county bonds fawng . per cent which wouitl also give the state n revenue or 1 per cent anti be n stwlnlto the taxpmtyrs. I know that In cUrlto carry out my plan to the fullest [ exttlt It will require several years for the mal < f 'r new laws both by the government ani states . to conform to the whole of It , but sefar as the Issue or bonds Is concerned , to [ ltnlih ) tIme banks and the retiring ot government currency of \'arlous kinds and the chattI J or the national bank laws , the change fhl bo nccomplshell at once anti the balance would follow within n very short unto. tme.
