WANDERINGS OF WAKEMAN Picturesque and Oosmopolitan Life in the Ohief Oity of Malta. THE MODERN AND THE ANTIQUE JOSTLING Btroet Scones and Sights in Valetta—Mal- tese Women and Thelr Charming Ways— Levantin Bazars—Lux- urlous Winter Residents, [Copyrighted 1992, VALETTA, Malta, Fab. 25, —Correspondence of Tat: Brr. |—Tho street scones of Valetta may be bricfly describod in tho statement that it one could comnbine Waterport stroot and the Alamada of Gibraltar, tho Toledo of Palermo, tho Alolus of Athons and the modern Boulovard de Ia Republiquo of Algiers, and then remove from this con- glomerate somo of its Borber and oriental aspocts, you would secure an excellont like- ness to the impression you gain from the colorful scones of everyday life and its activi- ties in the chief city of Maita. The constant presence of the British sol- dlerly, tho splendid, luxuriant and sometimes wantonly extravagant displays of the gov- ernment officials and garrison officers, with endless parades and reviews, alono give the place extraordinary life and activity. As every nativo inhabitant of the islands is an adherent of tae Roman Catholic faith,priests and students clad in priestly garb are never absent from sight; while the processionals aro of an extrrordinary number and fre- quently characterizea the greatest splendor. Every aay, and often many times a day, tho huge passenger stoamors of tne Med- fterranean discbarge hosts of tourists here. Thousands during the winter months aro on thelr way to and from ISgvpt, Australia or India. Thousands more avo merely Med- iterranean travelors, Nearly all are here but for a day, but the accessions ars ceaseloss, 'and their members comprise people of every patlonality. These are anxious to sne muck 1n littlo time, and with their chatier in all ‘tongues, craning heads and enthusiastic faces, heighten and brighten the gay scenes of the handsome thoroughfares. ‘Then in all this singular and unique medles thoro are odd trifles for intercst and study ceaselossly passing bofors vou, or forming distinet bits of color and mntique in the strango and curious settings. Barefooted scllers of delicious Malteso oranges, which ‘hide no less than nectar beneath their thin rea skins, dart through the strcets with their melodic cries and their endless 'Sa-has!” or “Giood mornings!” whatever the time of day, the most agilo and alert human beings you ever benela. Groups of watoemen straggling to their homes beyond Floriana, redolent of harbor- side toil and trafic, gaily nod and smile and chat as thoy move within tho throng. Here a bevy of bright faced middies, with tho roll and swagger of old sea salts, but with the gravest decorum, look in this' shop and that with respectful curiosity, always formiog ploasant groupings, and now aud then touch- ing a sympathetic cord in your heart as members of the band stragglo behind to peer into the faces of tourists with an eagor, hungry look, as if with a faiat_nope of rec- ognizing friends or relatives from the far away home. Officers from men-of-war, smileless and critical, and interested chictly in the great fortifications, pass and repass constanuy. They havo a tolerative sort of bearing, and the look in their faces plainly tolls the wonders their battio ships might accomplish even against Malta should thoy over chance to attempt o breach in its walls. Solemn Turkish travelers and merchants, viewing everything askance, as though they remembered the Turkish heads La Valstto once biew back from cannons' mouths into the ranks of tho besiegers, as reprisal, sud- denly appear, whisk along for a moment, and 8s suddenly’ are mussing. Algerian Jews, often with their beautiful wives and daugh- ters, rich in robes and splendid jewels, sweep past with a truly regal bearing. Well they may, for with the Krench in Algeria thoey are gaining great wealth from the vast tobacco plantations of Mascara, acd they bring their finest cargoes to Malta, whero tho cheapest aud best cigars in the world are made by tho deft Maltese, who feel that they are rolling in wealth if they receive for oue year's labor what would sustain the Ameri- can cigar maker for unly one mouth. With all these will be half naked Greek and Sicilian sailors chattering and gesticu- Iating wildly. Cowled monks move noise- lessly along. Shopmen rush from place to place to secure what their customers desir Without losing them while in the purchasing mood. Huwkers of lava bijouterie and lace plead and wrangle with tourists. Military bands are golug_aund coming, filling the air with English, Scottish and Irish melodies. While added to the exhilerating clamor of the town aro heard all the tongucs of all na- tions, and above these the clanging of count- loss church bells. These are nevor wrung. They aro Mlways hammered with emulous staccato, as though each bellmau were en- vious of outhammering all others. The bells aro nevor silent from matins to tho augelus bour of evening. Even after that they often break out as though they had got loose from by restraint and wero determined to to enjov & might of it—as aill humans seem to do here In the soft and languorous air. Indeed Valotta is neversilent except in the early morning hours. Then it is like a city of the aead, but always sweet and cool and winsome. At that time, if you are abroad slone, the silent churches, the huge auderges, the tremendous ramparts, the vast arohways, the dim porticoes aud the shedowy balconies seem to whisper anew their tales of romance old, thelr *mysteries of chivairous and kuightly days, But soon rom this patio, from that narrow thoroughfare, another silent urchway, from huge barred doors that open and close with a startling click, come funeral forms clad in sombre black, ‘I'hey glide along with bowed heads. Their advent has been so sudden and their number is at once so great that you are filled with surprise and dismay. But these @o not remuin. KFora soft and delicate band, as if by accident, with a swift motion changes the folds of the faldetta, and the pretty faces of half & thousand Maltese maids und matrous ave one by one fora moment turned roguishly or kindily to yours, Then you realize thav the faithful fair of Valstta arc on their way to early mass, and you stand their, hat in hand, yourself a reverent worshiper, mentally blessing oue and all for their piety and pretty gracious ways. These Malteso women are among the pleasantest of their sex, both as to the physi- cal attractiveness aud winsomenees of man ner and character, They are as a rule more potite than those of Ttaly and Spain, but are vory perfect as models of proportion and natural grace. - Their carrago is supero. They possess an assurance which is never bolduess, with & modesty untainted with prudery. Their feet, bands and heads are very small; their faces rather round than oval; their eyes and mouth are large and ex- pressive; and their iy an upward, confiding and expectant look in their faces that is very ‘Winsowe—at least to men, They are not generally intelioctual, but, better still, they are contented home-makers, and are like birds of soug in all the home- side joys. Thoy mate early, being mothers at fourteen, sod graodmothers at thirty, when they are still youthful and charming. During the raign of the Koights quite an ocracy of wealth aud nooility for so an area and population sprang up in the islands, which contnues to this day; and the Malteso women of this class are types of the greatest beauty and elegance. As the men of the middieand lower classes are noted for docliity, thrift, frugality and many other excellent virtues, virtue itself is the crown- fog glory of Maltese maids and matrons: and 1o know tlus and of their affectionate, true- hearted and unassuming hives and ways is to find in every expression of Multese femalo loveliness an added and lasting charm. The shops of Valetta are peculiar in their obaracter. Of late yoars Malia has become 80 important winter resort for English and contiuontal visitors, and such great numbers of sightseers for a day are now certaio to be ~depasited by the dozen or wore steamers wakiog daily arrivals, hat the shops of Strada Reale and Grand Rue bave ually taken on the character of a grand bazar of the more fragilo and costly products of all Mediterranean and Lovantine countries. Merchants from Tuik-r merchants from Fez, merchants from Algiers and Tunls, mer- obants from Cairo, Alexandria and Coustan- ‘o Persian ‘and Arabian werchants, 1 merchauls sud Spanish, eveu the thrifty Swiss with their.curlos from tho mountains, and the ubiquitous Japanese, ail with their most tempting genere, are here, tiving together in mutual good will: and with tailors from London, perfumers ana modistes from Paris and cafotiers from Greece, furnish a more pewildering display and variety of costly waresand luxuries than could be found save by a connoisseur in Paris, London or New York. his not only adds greatly to the charm interest of tho stroatscanes and displays, but tends towara luxuriousness in babit and lifo on the part of those enjoying the winter upon the isiands. These folk as a rulo aro drawn from tho wealthiost of the Enzlish, rmans and French. They live sumptu- v at the great hotels, at cluts, or in pri villas in the suburbs of Valetta, the cipal of which is Sliema, where the ele- ance and disol nit_outrivaled in the London Wost E he Engiish government of Maita has provided splendid driveways tly improved the country roads.

It stanas today as it loft the grand master’s hands, save in what it was deprived of by Bonaparte’s loot ing. If not perfect in architectural grace, its exterlor, which is surmounted by the Maltese Cross, is massive aud stately, while tha interior with its historicassociations ever in mind is wonderfully impressive. It is gorgeous with every species of decoration. Tho high altar is resplendent with silver, gold and procious stoues. It occupios the center of the choir and at either side low diasks beneath crimson canopies, with @ solitary chair on each; one for tho Catholic bishop of Malta, and the other dedi- cated to tho Protestant ruler of Ingland. Abova the latter are royal arms. Not the least interasting in features of the church of St. Jobn are the chapels of lan- guage and the memoriai vauits of departed knights, Tho nave is long and wide, and tho walls are fretted in curious devices, gilt with sequin gold. Approaching tho nisles on either side the eye rests, as through golden arches, upon a rango of small dome-crowned chapels, the altar pleces of which are curious old paintings. Theso were the chapels of tha different languages or nations, as of France, Ttaly, Provence, Auvergne, otc.,and thess aro extraordinarily rich in noble monuments 1n marble and bronze. Tho Virgin Chapel, hiaden from the body of the church by the chotr, possesses & bal- ustrade of massive silvor; ana hero are to bo soen the kays of three cities of strength, over which the Knights of St. John once ruled—Jorusalem, Acre ana Rhodes. Stand- ing out from the dark pareliug of the choir immediately behind the altar, sculptured in white marble, is @ representation of *“Tho Baptism of Christ.” It is the work of Mal- teso artists of the seventoenth century; and I have not seen 1ts superior in any of the famous churches of Europe. The hign, boldly-arched vaulting of the roof is entirely covered with paintings representing scencs and incidents in the life of St. John, and the tapestries that hang below, which are said to havo cost £i0,000, are of wonderful propor- tions and boauty. Botween the pillars separating the nave and the aislo are many monumonts, some encrusted with jasper and agate ana all of unrivalled richuess and grandeur. 1t is said that at least every surface square foot of tho vast structure covers tho body of a once val- iaut knight; the monuments to grand mas- ters, and architects and painters ongaged in tho emobeliishment of the editice are bewil- dering in their frequency and magoiticence; and tho ontire structure stands today a grang, yet pathetic, mausoleum and minder of the power aud glory of those Chris tian warriors of a heroi¢ and chivalrous past. ‘This constant mingling of reminiscences of medieval heroism with every other quality and object o strange and unique in eastern Jifo and ways, the whole lightened by the gaioties and brilliancies of the thousands of wealthy strangers of your own kiua and tongue, is one of the most fascinating se. tions to be experienced in any city of Mediterraneun, Wherever you tura you ara counfroated by majostic or” exquisite relics of a forwer grandeur carryiug its material splendor into the presont,aud weirdly conjuring the forms, faces and lofty motives of thoso who built. veryvthing vou see shows you modern powor adapting the sopulcbres of the most lustrous chivalry the world ever kuew to the practical and unpoetical uses of far-reaching diplomocy and sgeressive acquisition.

The tenderfoot from Chicago, says the Mail of that city, had taken to the war- path and acnounced his determination of relieving a few of the miners of what spure change they happened to have about them. Withont much trouble he found a vietim who was willing to try a hand or two at poker. Luck favored the stranger from tho start, and he won standily. Finally he dvew four aces, and alter the stakes had been run up to « comfortabie figure he magnanimously refused to bet further, ““This is downright robbery,” he ox- claimed, *‘and I don’t want to end the game here by bankrupting you. So, hero goes.” He threw down four aces and reached for the money. *‘Hold on!” eried his antagonist, “I'll take care of the dust, iflyou please,” “But T hold four aces—sco?” **Well, what of it?

I guess you aren’t accus- tomed to our poker rules out here. Sce there!” As hespoke he jerked his thumb to- wards a pasteboard card which orna- mented the wall of the saloen. It read: L00LOO BEATS FOUR ACES. The game proceeded, but it was plainly evident that the unsopbisticated oung tiger hunter had something on his mind. Within five minutes he sud- deuly braced up, his face was wreathed in smiles, and he began betting once more with his former vigor and reck- lessness. In fact, he staked his last dol- lar oa his hand, Just at this juncture tho barkeeper stopped in the midst of the concoction of a Manhattan cocktail and quietly hun up another card behind the bar an above the duzzling array of glasses and bottles. The stranger threw down his cards with an exultaot whoop. *It’s my time to huwl just about now!” he cried, as he veached for his money. *“There’s a loo- Looo for you—three clubs aud two dia mond *“Tut, tut!” exclaimed “*Really, this is too bad. You evidently don’t understand our rules at all. You certainly don’t mean to tell me that you play poker in such a fast, loose, slipshod wuy down east, do you? Why, look at that rule over there.” Ho pointed directly over the head of the busy barkeeper. The Chicagoan read his doow in the handwriting on the wall: it was the Belshazzar case over again. ‘Lhebit of pasteboard bore this legen THE LOOLOO CAN BE PLAYED BUT ONCE A NIGHT.

GRAND ARMY DEPARTMENT Significant Annual Death Rate Among the Vetorans, HUSBAND FOUND BUT PENSION LOST Gleanings from Enc Petershurg lowa's G Annaal mpments—A ident — Detalls of 1a Memorial to Her Heroes on Land and Sea, According to a recont statoment of D. John S. Billings in the Forum, the annual death rate among the survivors of the war who were onlisted in the United States army has basn about four= teen per thousand, This is a little above the average for adult males, snys the New York Herald. The totul number of union soldiers was about 2,200,000. During and since the war 1,000,000 have died. At present, it is computed, the sick rate among war veterans is considerably greunter than among the ordinary population, but not much groater than among all adults above fifty years of nge. A comparison of tho survivors of the Napoleonic wars with those of our aivil war is interesting. ccording to n re- cent Fron list claiming to be official there are ouly twenty left, while of the Inglish who fought against them only one is now alive, and he is in his 102d year. usbhand Fou but Pension Lost, Mrs. Wilson Bailoy of Louisville, Ky. has regained a husband but lost a pon- sion under peenliar circumstances. In 1884 the woman was informed that her husband had died atthe Marine hospi- tal in that city. Subsequently she was induced to apply for a pension, her hus- band having been in the service during the late wi Affidavits were produced from persons who swore that thoy saw Bailey die, and from the undertaker who swore he buried him. The pension was arglied for and allowed. On the night of March 4, to the surprise of the wo- man, hev long lost hushand appeared at her home well and anxious to again oc- v a place at the family fiveside. The © had not heard from her delinquent husband during the eight years of his absence. Noxt morning she escorted her husband to th Tnited States dis- trict attorney’s office and made a full statement of the facts to that official, with a view of stopping the ponsion,thus rigating u wrong so far as she could. mpments. Twenty-five hundred visitors and dele- gates attended the annual encampment of the New York state Grand Avmy of the Republic in Buffalo, lust week. The condition of the State Department, as will be shown by the reports of the assistant adjutant-gencral and ass quartcrmaster general,is of a gratifying character. The assistant adjutant-gen- eral’s report for the six months ending December 1, 1801, shows: wmber of members in good standing July 1, 1891, 40,444; gained Guring the six months, 2,831, Lost during the term by death and otherwise, Number in good standing December 31, 41,221. There was expended for relief during the term, $18,408,59, C. B. Melton of Madison, elected commander of the Wisconsin Geand Army at the annual cncampment las week. Regarding the state veterans’ home the following recommendations were made: Favoring an annual con- tingent appropriation of $5,000 by the legislature; that unmarried inmate psn- sioners puy to the home all their pen- sions in excess of $6 per month, and married pensioners all in excess of $12 per month; asking the establishment by the United States of a postofice at the home. . B. I"uller of Marysville was elected commander of the California Grand Army. A Brave Soldior But Not a Warzlor, “The soldier is always more or less brave,” remarked the veteran toa rep- resentative of tho Detroit Freo Press, *‘and aven when he is not at all inclined to heroism he will, when the tug-ol-war comas, rise superior to himself and do great deeds of valor. It’s funny to hear a man you know who will go rigzht up to a cannon’s mouth when it is loadea to the muzzle and a man standing at the vent ready to pull the string, cxpress his feelings when the spirit isn’t moving him. Once when we wera down there before Petersburg, when the shot was tearing up the ground in forty places at once, I was lying in a safe corner with a man who had only a few hours before come through a perfect rain of five, car- rying the flag to u point where he could s?m,ku it in the enemy’s face. We got to talking about war in general and this sortof fighting and I said to him: “If you had your choice would you have war this way or out in the open, face toface?” here’s only one way i’d have war,’ he sail sharply. *“‘How’s thut?’ I asked. “**Have it over, and that d—— quick,’ he replied, and ten minutes afterwurds he was doing a deed that won him his shoulder straps. The lowa Soldiers' Monument, After a long controversy regarding the stato memorial to the soldiers of ‘the legislature has decided to ad- here to the original project—a grand monument commemorative of heroismn on land and sea. The Twenty-second general assembly appropriated $3,000 to be expanded under proper restrictions in preparing a site and foundation on the capitol grounds for the purpose of parpetuating an expression of the pa- triotism, cournge and distinguished sol- dierly bearing of tieir fellow civizens as manifested during the war of the rebel- lion, and the governors of the state, Jamos Harlan,Samuel Kirkwood,George G. Wright, Edward Johnston and,D. N Richardson,were appoiated a commit with authority to advertise for and ex- amine plans for such monument and re- port to the next general assembly upon the plans submitted, The commission thus created was directed to do impracticable if not im- possible things. By the terms of the act the executive council was required to erect foundation for a soldiers’ monu- ment upon the state capitol grounds, and to this end an appropriation of #5,000 was made. The committee wus charged with the important duty of em- ploying architects, artists and sculptars to provide plans for a monument to be erected upon this foundation; but, for such expensive work, no appropriation was made. The Twenty-third general assembly continued the monument commission, but directed it to report to the present legislature as to “whether & monument, a memorial arch, a memovial hall or a memoriai hall and monument compined would best express on the part 0s the peonle of Towa their appreciation of the patriotism, ete., of their fellow citizens of the war of the rebellion. And if, in the judgment of the said board of com- missioners, it shall be desirable to do 0, thoy ave given authority to adver- tise for, procure and examine plans for ! either or any ofthess forms of expros- sions as aforesaid and report the same to the next gertrsl assembly.” In con- soquence of adVet{isements nnd prizes offered by the mommission, there were received at the®ftee of the governor of Towa forty-eight, designs and plans for consideration, and.a second meeting of tho board was bl for the purpose of viewing them. | At this meeting the forty-eight plans’ were presented and arranged, two day8 were devoted to the careful and eritifal examination and discussion, und the meoting adjourned without having declared any definito final opinion, Through some difference of opinion among the Grand Army posts, it deemed advisable by the Twenty-third general assembly to take time and iook into the memorial question. The com- mission was therefore strengthened by the addition of two more members, and on July 9, 1801, it met in Iowa City for further uction. After full discussion of the question as presented to the eommission the board unanimously decided that it was unno essary to make furtiher offort to secure or to examine further other plans for a memorial structure of any kind, and recommended also the erection of a me- moriael monument as designed by Hur- riet A. Kotcham, and of such finding to report to the genoral assembly with the further recommendation that this g eral assembly take prompt steps to se- cure te for such monument and to let the contract for the erection thereol. The design accopted onlls for a monu- ment 120 feet high. The first base or platform upon which the structure stands is 58 by 76 feet, with six columns ten feet in height on which rests a‘cor- nice, from which a magnificent column of granito sixty-five feet in height rises, which is surmounted by a bronze figure of “*Fame” fifteen feot in height. Starting from the four corners of the pedestal, upon each of which stands u soldior of heroic size, represent- ing the four arms of the federal service —the sailor, the engineer, the infantry and the valy soldier—on either side in appropriate niches are colossal female figures, ono symbolical of Iowa, one of her dead heroes, and one (History) teaching a reclining youth the history of the war. The twenty Corinthian columns—five ateach corner—are of variogated gran- ito ten feet in height. These support a cornice upon which rest the ends of the four gables. With these are four pedi- ments which contaih the arms of the state of lowa, cast upon o bronze disc. Bo- low the base of the pediment is a bronze frieze, which is composed of twenty me- dallion portraits in bronze, properly or- namented, of lowa's distinguished ‘sons who took part in the * for the union. These heads, life size, will cause grent interest among the friends of those whose likenesses appear upon the frieze. They will be modeled from life if living, if not, from the best pictures to be had. On panels of bronze 6x7 feet there are battle scones upen’ two sides of the monument below the frieze—one that of Douelson and the® other of Sniloh. Theso were battles in which Iowa troops made for themselvesimperishable names and drew the atténtion of the -union to their brav The main shaft, of pol- ished granite sixty-five feet in hoight, ris from the ‘center of the whole structure and is surmounted by a bronze figure of Famo fitkeen feet high, who, with outstretched arms, holds the laurel wrenth of victory,,wath which to crown the vietors, At't of the column avo four heroic-size! bronze equestrian statues, the riders, bping men who dis- tinguished themselves with the. Iow: soldiers in the civil war. The lives of the distinguishad Towa generals who will bo representeédin these efuestrian’ figures wiil in themselves comvrise a history of the part Iowa troope took in putting down the rebellion. Mrs. Ketchem, the gifted Iowa woman, whose design was accepted by the com- mission, lived to loara of the bonor she had won in a tield wheroe no favor was shown, in_competition with the artists of the entire country, but died soon after. She was born in the beautiful and ro- mantic highlands of eastern Ohio, and descended from a long line of music lov- ing, pastoral people. In 1876 she be: art studies under Wilson MacDon the noted sculptor of New York city, afterwards studying under Clarke Mills of Washington, D. C., and [Franklin Simons and Signor Ferrai of Rowme, Italy. Hor life, full of the brightest promise, ended at her home in Mount Pleasant, October 13, 1890. Mrs. Ketehem was the leading seulptor of hor sex in Europe and America, and her talent has Leen warmly commended by artists aud travelers competent to judge. So this soldiers’ monument, for the construction of which the commission asks for an appropriation of $200,000, if onrried to completion, will not only commemorate the heroic deeds of war, but will stand well for the gifted woman who designed it. ¥irst Wiseon .
