THE OM \T{‘\ DAILY BEE g] NDAY, 0N REAL STREETS OF CAIRD @eorge W, Lininger Describes the Eoene in His Graphic Manner, SOME COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF EGYPT| Wonderful Possibilities o ot Being Wor Manufacturers ns It Should e, ¥ by CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 9, 1000.—My Dear Mr. Rosewater: This beautiful Sunday morn- ing with the thermometer at 67, sun shin- ing brightly with a nice breeze from the south, after the first rain in six months to lay the dust, I am seated on the terrace of this, the best hotel from cvery point of view in all Egypt, or Europe for that matter, and at reasonable rates, facing the public park, where one may see all the beautiful tropical trees and plants; with a fine orchestra dls- coursing music appropriate to the day (and this is done at every meal.) Amid all these surroundings we aro taking a much-needed rest after the tedious and trying sightse fug of Syria and Palestine. I had intende writing you from Jerusalem, but was too busy. The panorama moving before this | hotel is wonderful and never be for- gotten. We have now enjoyed our ten days of it and are not yet tired. Twice daily the khedive of Egypt drives by with his retinue of guards, finely equipped with outriders Next perhaps a wedding procession, led by a band, mounted on camels, with acrobats performing along the street some fantastic and grotesque figures making the escort to the bride, who is in a closed carriage, and 1n order to make it impossible for the vulgar eye to look upon her the carriage is covered with shawl or cloth, completely covering the vehicle, two guards walk on either side to keep off all intruders. DBut the most numerous arocessions the funerals, generally ten or more pass here each day from the highest to the lowest, usually chanting, “Allah, Allah, and Mohammed is His Prophet” to save them. The body is carried on a bier covered with a cloth car- pet on the shoulders of four men, the chiet mourners following on foot. The slow chant- ing is kept up the entire distance to the burfal place. It a child (and the most of them seem to be children) it is carried on the head of an Arab, Delightiul Stre The snake charmer is also in e 3 One may be standing alongside of an Arab with his pockets full of snakes and not krow it until he commences pulling them out of his breast pocket, or his long flow- ing gown, for these gowns hiave many pock- ets. Sometimes they carry a whole bazaar around with them. The streets are full ot wonders, offering everything from a scara- bea up to a mummy, all found in the an- clent tombs, except those made to order to catch the ordinary tourist who is not posted. Here comes a man with a parrot on shoulder and a monkey on the other, leading a goat with a monkey rid Now he stops in front of the hotel and whilst he plays upon the tom-tom the monkey performs, but as he is attracting too many small boys the portes of the hotel tells him to move on before he has tire to collect his backsheesh. With pleading eyes be looks at us as he moves on. Now the donkey boys have got intg a row across the street. There are only thirty-six al- lowed to stand there with their “General Grant,”” ““Abe Lincoln,” “Yankee Doodle,” or It an Englishman appears on tho scene the namo is changed to “Gladstone” or some other dignitary, but unfortunately only two donkeys are wanted and the whole thirty- six claim that theirs is the best and that the gentleman looked at theirs first. ln the course of time the travelers succeed in mounting their donkeys, but do not get away until the police interfere and arrest two of the boys, and the officer goes with the boys and donkeys to the police station. Here comes some young acrobats, circus boys performing along the sidewalk and asking for backsheesh. As you step down | on the sidewalk you are confronted with an army of would-be-guides, for they are not to t Company. 1denc one JANUARY 6, 1901. - a lrvlde Mo speak good to go to the pyramids’ Geisha?

Not one American vessel so far T know is to be seen on this Mediterranean, the best place in the world to do business, and these people want to trade with us. They like the Americans and they like our goods, « ortunity kers. I cannot understand why the Cudahys, Armours, Swifts, Hammonds and other ment packers do not have their own vessels run- | ning into these ports. Fresh meats can be brought here as well as Liverpool. They have thelr own railroad cars—why not their own vessels and their own men in this country to handle their own products? They are handled here in a way, but to a | Qisadvantage to them. They ara belng dis- criminated agatnst all the time. England 'many, Russia and others getting this trade and only sell our goods when they are compelled to.

People who have not traveled in this | country as I have cannot reaiize the extent of the country and its needs in just such goods as we make in abundance and of which we seem to have an overproduction. To my mind the only way out of our diffi- culty in overproduction and strikes and shut-downs of factories is to extend our trade to the countries that are now willing and anxlows to trade with us. If no other way is open I hope now that congrees will take this matter up and assist in building up a merchant marine, even at the expense of the government. The republicans, being the progressive party and being in the | saddle for the next four years, can well ) afford to do so. The country as a whole | will be better off and labor will be well paid and have constant employment. Our young ambitious men with good business | experience will be sent to the various trade centers 10 superintend the distribution ot the goods that now go through the hands of forelgn powers to be speculated upon. The more thought one gives to this subject the mere attractive it becomes from a business point of view. T was glad to notice several cditorials in The Bee already along these lines. 1 hope they will keep up the good work until the fact becomes accom- plished.

A young householder in the Hanscom park district is the father of a sweet-faced baby girl of 2 vears. He is particularly fond of the pink-toed cherub and his one great hobby is to take the little miss in her carriage and wheel her about the neighbor- hood. The aforesaid young man is a model husband and father, except for one thing he has the Tom-and-Jerry habit. And when his “habits are on” he devotes more time than ever to wheeling the baby. The mother of the little one has often shud- dered at the thought that her husband in his unsteady condition might upset the baby carriage and cause disastrous results. She hinted gently several times that too much outdoor air was not good for baby, but the proud father was determined and usually had his way. A few days ago, along about noon, when the sun was shin- ing warmly, the young man went home and asked his wife to fix the baby in the buggy. want to take her a whirl around the block,” he explained. “Very well,” re- plied the patient wife. 0o she went into another room and returned presently with the baby carriage, which all appear- ances contained a slecping innocent care fully tucked away beneath warm blankets and with a light face and head covering. The father pushed the carriage with more pride than ever before, and when Inquiring neighbors met him on the street with the query, “How's the baby?" he gave a glow- fng account of her accomplishments.

Stricklor entered Judge Dickinson's court one morning during a hearing to ask about a case in which he was Interested. When tho time scemed opportune to put a ques tion to the court, he stepped into the en- closure and asked: “May it please your honor, is there anything before the court " Had he been better acqual with the Judge's taste in the matter of exactness he would have asked whether or not there was any business under the court's considera- tion. The judge looked at the attorne for & minute and then replied tersely, “Not much.” The lawyers present saw the joke before Mr. Strickler did and broke into hearty laugh fust as he was about to con- tinue his questioning Knows Better No There s an old adage to the battle is not always to the race to the swift.
