Many there were In the vIsiting caravans

there were nearly 600 befezzed and tiger-

together under the date palms und among the

their annual pilgrimage to ! ecca.
Tangier. Ihe name Itself , brings visions of
1.eauty and picturesqueness , and nothing could
have been more beautiful than the arrange

wl\on nearly forty novices wee shown the
glorIes of the an lent mysticism and the
ancient Maghreb faith . as exemplified through
the teachings at the nohlty oC the Mystic
Shrine. While 98 per cent of those inhaling
thl odors of long since forgotten wes 'as
they burned In the rude camp vessels , were
born Car away from the tents of the Arabs
there was not ono wllo could be luspected of
an impartiality for what they saw and heard
within the holy of belies.
And then there were sounds of little African -
can : flutes , and the beating of strange In-
Itrunents , surmounted wIth heads oC camel
skins cleaned of their hair and rude winds
and rees with bellows attachment . which
suggested bag pipes , played by a man whoP
was very tail . clothed In kilts , and who

HELD ON TO TiE ROP1I
About 2 o'clock Saturday morning n gentleman . ;
man wandered Into the editorial rooms ot
The flea with his clothing torn , his face
badly scratched and bruised , and his left arm
In n sling . le Inquired for the ofce of th
chief of police . He said he was n stranger
In towx . and hat important information to
communicate Upon being pressed to tel ha
Btory he Inquired what the three.stor brick
building was Just tie ethel side ot the new
pstofco building. lie was told It was the
Masonic temple. He replied that maybe It
wn . but that here was one of the hardest
gangs located there that he ever got tangled
up with . After conahlorble questioning . he
cue the reporter the following story :
"My name Is Marcus ' V. Simmons at 403
Grand avenue Erie Pa . I came out to
this country to visit relatives . and , having to
stop In Omaha for a day or two , I started
Friday night to take a stroll through the
north part at town. A8 I was passing the
building I spoke of , I heard music coming
from the uper part at the building. I asked
a gentleman what was going on up there.
lie saul he did not know but I WAS some
kind at a show . I went UI to the third story
at the building . and was met at the door
A by 1 little . short nian . with R long
- ' - I sword and a red velvet stilt on .
I who told me to hurry In and take
1AiI hold of the enl ot the rope. I saw
a long line at men carrying a long
string at two.lnch rope. I took
! hoW of the rope and followed '
Ml IE11 along , although 1 did not know
what It was. The men seemed to
a.zr-.z/ ! bo under the leadership of a tall
man , whom I after learned wai name
l'otter. lie was dressed In something lint
looked like n mother hnbbnrd ( tress , with the
funniest looking hat on I ever Raw In m )
life. There were a lot of soldiers , with a
kind of zouave uniform on that seemed to
be helping thIs man Potter. They took us
Into a large rom that wns perfectly dark
Iml 'S WHElm THEY GOT hIM.
"It took quite a while to get . Into the room ,
as the fellows Inside dldn.t [ to think
that we had anY business there. When we
finally got In a man whispOreul to me that all
I had , to do was to hold onto that rope. In a
minute or so they turned on the lght and
It was the pretest sight I ever saw In my
life . There , were about GOO men sitting In
the seats Il the gallery and around the edges
of the room The first thing tli4y hall was
a lot of music and I was the most beautiful
singing that I ever listened to In my life.
Then they had an exhibition drill by the
soldiero . then n fellow that was all dressed
up In clothes , like a king wears . commenced
to make rome disturbances about the way
things were going on. I dldn't catch exactly
what he sid , for about that time they commenced -
menced to march us and they marched us
around the rom about fifty times and finally
told us we must be obligated. They gave us
nn obligation In which we promised that we
would never tel .anybody anything and wo
promised to help everybody on the race at
the earth and to kill our wives and relations
and everybody ese Just the minute we got
the word from the man that sat upon the
throne and we promised that we would sign '
every subscription paper for any kind oC sut- ,
faring that came along. Then there was a .
whole lot of other things we promised that I
forget. because about the middle of It I got
, scared and told a fellow that was standing
there that I thought Id go. Ho told me to
shut up and listen to what the Grand Razoo
was saying. Then they stood us all up In a
row and asked us If we bad any word to send
to our folks. A whole lot of them toll what
they wanted sent to their folks and I wrote
a telegram to my wife and told her I was
well and hoped she was the same.
' THING TO HIM.
DDN'T DO A HM.
"Then they put blInders on us so we
couldn't eel a thing and turned us over to a
little bald.headed fellow that wore spectacles
and a full dress suit and I think they called
him Green or Dean or Rheem 01 something
of that kind and I have been looking for him
for the last two hours and when I met him
gore Is going to few sure. He grabbed a hold
of me by the arm and asked me I I could
pray. I told him I could a little bit , and
ho sid these exercises tat wo were abut
to go through were the solemnest things
that anybody ever heard tel of , and that I
must be ) prepared , to pray on- a minute's no-
( ice. Then he took mo and ' set me down , on
I cake of Ice , put a pan of hot coals In my
lap , and a sort of a crown Wl'l a lot of
. .
'
.
wire nails driven through ( It on my bead ,
then gave me a couple of hot bricks to hold
In my band , and ho told mo that this was
to test my powers of endurance and If 1
Inched that I was liable to be shot. Hf
kept mo there about fifteen ntinutes and
told mo bow nIce It was to be good and
noio and true. Il took me by the arm
and marched me around over I lot of lad-
dots and ethel contraptions that I couldn't
see , then laid mo down on a board and
strapped a lot of Iron things all over me , and
then sung out 'Let her go , ' and I went sailing .
Ing right up to the ceiling and stuck right
fast to it . I found out afterward that this
was done by magnetism. While 1 was stick. .
Ing to the coiling another fellow commenced
to talk. and saId that this was to lustrate
tim way ttt Mohalrmed s coffin was sus . 0 .d-
cd In mid-air. and was to teach mo the solemn
lesson that 'I hould never for-
get what I learned at Sunday
school. ' In about a second , It
seemed to me , I heard a kind
at a gong sound and a flute
blow , and then the magnets let
go , and I started to fail. The ,
caught mo In a great big blan-
Ilet and tossed me until 1 got
so dizzy that 1 fainted. At
soon Is J canto to 1 told them
that I wanted to go home , but that lto I
balli-headed fellow tool me by the arm and
told mo nol to bo discouraged , that I was
most through and then they put me through
n whole lot or thIngs that I could not tel
fOU about If I tried ,
lIE WANTED TO 00 HOME.
"Then about that thus they marched lS
out Into another room , and tool the blinders
off of us 111 broucht us back Into the big
room . and gave Us a whole lot of grips anti
pass words ; and told us they hoped wo
would never forget what wo learned there

hold at some ethel fellows that we
could get to join so we. could get even ,
and then they said we could go to a banquet ,

LONDON . larch 9.-The weather and epl-
demlc of influenza have been moderjting re-
centy , although thousands of houses are sti
without water as n restilt of frozen pipes ,
and many thousands of people are suffering
from the prevailing malady. The present
epidemic of influenza has been felt more
severely In London than II any part of the
country , and the death rate bas risen dur-
lug the pat week from 21 per 1,00. the
normal rate to 38.5 per 1,000. a remarkably
high record.
Lord Rosebery , It now appears , has been

Among the other distinguished sufferers Is

. Time queen'a drawing room at Ducldngham
palace on Wednesday slowed the effect of
the influenza epidemic , for the usual atend-
allce was thinned. I ws noticed that pink
and blue were the preVllllng tnt In the
toilets , although mauve was greatly worn
The weather wits so cold that It drove the
public away , and generally s\ealslng the
function was far from being a success.
. Rumors have been circulated regarding time
absence of time princess , of Wales tram the
drawing room , but the general opinion seems
to b that the failure of' ' the princess to be
present upou that occasion Was the result
at feeble health and , the ; fact that site was
desirous of riot exposlnguhersel to lie colder
or of IncurrIng tie attendant fatigue .
The queen has granted letters patent to Lady

In cub circles this week there has been
much comment upon the sensation caused ,
fIrst by the blackbalng of lion. Cecil
Ithodea , premier of Cape Colony at the
Travelers 'club , and secondly , by the fact that
the prInce of Wales , the duke of Fife , his
lon-In.law. and Earl Gray have resigned
their membership of that club , thereby giving
a damaging blow to its pretige. Time black-

Mr. Dell had been blackballed , offered to
have him renominated , but the South Afri-

Following the suit brought by Sir William
Eden In Paris against James McNet Whist-
her . the former seeking to force the artist
to deliver ! Lady Eden's portrait and .to pay
[ 40 damages for delayIng delivery , Mr. 'Vhlstu

In the Pal Mal Gazette he says : "U Is curious .

to note how thrifty .aecnas , who surely

WhistLer also says : "The case goes to show
that a few ancestors seizing upon odd drove
of oxen , as set for\ In Burke , Is but pOOl
backing merclnl for struggles. a moder baronet In clumsy . coin.
F. Id. Eden the son of Sir William Eden ,
