Paris, June 11.—Oh, yes, there’s a sort
of Midway Piaisaoce at the exhibition,
but it is a lons way from being as con
spicuous a feature of the big: show os at
Chicago You have to ask your way *o
It, and when you are about half way
there you think it must be poked away in
a corner, it s so far from most every
where else. When you get ns far ns tie
Eiffel tow’er you ask a policeman. “Ovtr
the river,” he .says. So over you go.
You are not surprised that the place is
remote. You are loking for the most
“foreign” things in all the great universal
exposition; the men from the mystic
Orient, the women with the masked faces;
the wild children of the desert, the races
that are as old as the world, yet Know
nothing of the changes that mark our
Western civilization. You ize that
is less incongruous to find them way of
in a distant comer, “over (he river,” rath
er than under the glare of an electric
light, or within sound of the pulling of
a steam engine that is running an up-to
ds te mowing machine.
As you approach the neighborhood indi
cated as the quarters of the weird pe>ple
from the East, you look ahead, and the
environment seems appropriate. The
whole aspect of the locality is strange.
GROUP OF CHILDREN, TUNISIAN SECTION. (Frop’ a Photograph.)
Burmor.nting the eloping hill is that arch
itectural curiosity, the Troc.adero, which
in all its lines and adornments sets you
thinking of the land of the Moors. All
around thereabouts are hundreds of still
querer structures. There aro long ram
bling buildings, and narrow, squatty ones
with roofs hanging over like the frowning
brow of a pirate. There are domes of
fantastic shapes and coloring, minarets
carved in queer design®, mysterious bal
conied windows, great, wide, gloomy por
tals opening on black vestibules, forbid
ding looking stairways suggestive of all
sorts of harrowing episodes, and, scatter
ed here and there, grotesque and hideous
figures in stone or wood.
As you draw near you so** a multitude
of men in fezzes, white, black and yellow
men; and women and children, too. In cos
tumes that bespeak all the different
of the Orient. Marching back and forth
before the door of a somber building yoil
see several Mongolian*, whom inquiry will
disclose to be Annamite soldiers. Yes, you
say, this looks very Eastern, but it isn’t
the Midway Plaisance, for you hear no
note of the jumbling drums, the piercing
cymbals, or the many other queer ingrru-

merits or the odd eriee end chatter that
were so conspicuous at the Chicago
World's Fair.
The Street of Ale'lern.
So you continue your stroll. Suddenly a
very pandemonium of eourd crashes Into
your ears. You turn. On the left you see
■tvhat locks at llrst like the wide doorway
of one of the house*. But It isn't. It is
the mouth of a winding thoroughfare and
your eye is bewildered by the scene there
in. The place swarms wlih humanity,
queer humanity, for the most rrt, with
odd shades of skin and still odder ap
parel. Every one Is moving about as If
each Individual In the ihrong was play
ing the rede of a bit of colorsd glast In
a kaleidoscope. And out from that weird
street, as you stop In front of It, Issues
a screeching chorus beside which a vltli-
Ing sawmill would suggest a deaf and
dumb asylum
This is the Midway Tlaisanre of the Pa
ris exjosltion. That isn’t the name it
goes by, however. It Is called "The Street
cf Algiers,” as you may notlc.fi.by a sign
over the archway when your senses have
resum'd their calm.

you ecu 1 nut b ar a sound of the scream
ing (1- raorrah), the significance of the
ep ctncle seems sharply accentuated. En
couraged hy the pre-ence of other white
men and women in the plac-, you enter.
Bur. you com* out disappointed, and thla
Is about what you remember:
A long, narrow street, so narrow that
the overhargirg upp r story of one
seems in the act of bonding down to
st-at y itself on the j-houider of the house
opposite. A child could make a running
Jumrf out cf one window into the o h r.
No street so narrow could be popular in
a modern occidental town, but it fits the
b'll to perfection in the antique cast,
where every one is in the habit of loving
his neighbor as himself litre and there
a lair, unveil and face is s en at a window
for a second, which hightens the natural
ness of the scene, and sets the visiter
dreaming dreams that have the flavor of
the Arabian Nights. It is a faithful re
pioduction of a street of the bazars in
hundreds of eastern towns, with nothing
repressed and many suggestive details
•aided. The mise-en-scfne is marvelously
accurate. Everything is there except the
accumulab and dust and grease of ag< s. It
is a hrs ling scene. Many qu<er people
are busy doing nothing, while others ar
working hard with the nonchalant tran
quility that characterizes the orintal.
The fronts of the houses are hung with
| bewildering miscellaneous wares. In a
j sort of bay window here and there young
girls with their faces veiled are weav
ing Turkish rugs. On the steps of many
of the houses are to be seen metal work
ers, hammering away at silver trinkets.
Old women, sitting in groups, are chat-
tering like a dorcas society of magpies
while plaiting long yellow reeds into an
infinite variety of patterns. Dark, des
ert suggesting men are fashioning hiero
glyphics on shining sword blades. Sad
dlers are making the odd accoutrements
that one sees in pictures of Arabian
steeds. Children are capering through
the crow r ded streets, or playing queer
English games in dark areaways. Mu
sicians, old and young, and middling, and
of both sexes, are sitting around here
and there, thumping at funny looking
drums, or extracting discords from the
strings of instruments that for shape and
size might be anything from a tooth
brush to a hatrack. Village belles are
lounging from windows, flashing rays of
coquetry through the eyeholes in their
masks ii. swarthy cobblers across the
way. The vista thrills with life.
A Mndilrning Bedlam of Sonnd.
These are some of the things the eye
dwells upon in the “Street of Algiers.”
The employment put upon one’s ear dou
ble discounts the vision. The sense of
hearing rebels against the overwork. A
steady stream of noises pours Niagara-
like Into one’s auricular crevices. The
air vibrates with the discord. Virtually
every human being in the street and uil
the things they can call upon to fortify
their voices are rending the skies with a
tempestuous bedara. The visitor puts
his hands ovpr his ears in a vain attempt
to close out the shrill thunder. It perco
lates through his flesh and bones like
Roentgen rays. He tries to accustom
himself to 'the pandemonium. Finally
he partially succeeds. Then he wedges
1 mself into the surging crowd and wob
bles along the thoroughfare.
A little further along the human
stream, on which he is a cork, breaks
against a beach, and goes no further.
The beach Is the narrow,-1 end of the
street, where a lot of habitations are Jum
bled all together. In front of these hous, s
are massed the most obrtreperous speci
mens of Algiers. They are all shouting,
g>rating and gesticulating. Every one of
them is pointing over his shoulder at
door Juat behind him. It is evidently an
invitation to walk in. The doors ore wide
open. Inside one of them are hanging 1
portieres of oriental draperies. Inside
others are stairways. Standing or sit
ting alongside these liort.tls are women,
the majority of them with veiled faces,
but all with hare arms, from which, as
well ns from their necks, lung strings of
beads and ail sorts of barbaric Jewelry.
From their bare arms their varied colors
may bo discerned. They range all the
way from the whitest white to the black
est blin k. The women, too, are noisy.
What they are screaming surely no otto
knows not even themselves. But it nil
means the same thing: "Won’t you walk
into my parlor?”
In many respect* it Is the Chicago Mid
way over again, with the novelty worn
off. lawk at the poster*, and you
find! the Bam* names. Look at the

performers. and you'll recognize the
same faces. There, for instance', in a
moth-eaten fez, Is an old man who u me (l
to stand in front of a Midway
side show, beckoningop.c to step i > and
look at Mile. Ro*i do h*-r Dervish dance.
What is he saying now? By the powers
thnt be! It is the same old story. Jn bud
French he ;a tilling passers-by that for
twenty cents you can step upstairs and
see Mile. Ro-o do her famous dance, and
that an American admirer, peeing her at
Chicago, offered to give $2h.000 to any
body e lse in the world who could keep on
dancing as long as she does.
They All Heiuemler Chicago.
“Hello! Old Ismail!” you shout at him
in English. “How are you?”
He stops hir harangue and grins towards
you. “You speak English, don't you?”
you say, approaching. Again he grins
warmly as he replies: “Ya-as—Chicago.”
They all say that wo.d, all the show
people. They all declare they speak Eng
lish, and that is it. They know nothing
else in the -tongue but “Chicago,” nut
they make that word answer every ques
tion.
And not only do familiar faces greet the
Americans on all sides, but familiar
voiJes, too. As he strolls through Algiers
he hears a cry that used to wake the
echoes on Lake Michigan. It is the. nou
gat-man screaming
Boom!” as if all the thoughts of humanity
and all the eloquence of the ages were
embraced in that thunderous monosyllable.
He is the same grinning, wide-mouthed,
white toothed, Turkish constumcd negro
that did so much to make the Midway
Plaisance noisy and look genuinely for
eign.
As you gaze at him fond memories of
eight years ago surge uj>on you. He bpgs
you to approach. So long as anybody re
mains near pv he keeps shoving sticks of
candy toward you, still crying, “Boom!
Boom!” Presently you are alone with him
and his nougat and his !>oom. Then lie
watches his chance and leans toward you
as if he wanted to tell you a secret.
“Do you speak English?” you say.
He looks you steadily in the eye and
grins a minute. Then, when nobody else
is looking, he whispers this:
“Say, boss, I’se a Boston coon.”
You learn his story. At Chicago he fell
in with the Turks, and has been with
them ever since, going from fair to fair,
all over the universe. From him you learn
that the inhabitants of the “Streets of
Algiers” are nothing more or lees than an
organized band of show people, as lazy as
gypsies, who simply live on the credulity,
curiosity and other vulnerable traits of

people looking for amuserpent or new sen
sations.
As you leave the “Boston coon” and
make your way through the Streets of Al
giers, now densely packed with white vis
itors, staring, open-mouthed, at every
thing, you make up your mind that as long
as there are international expositions in
the world, there will always be a Midway
Plaisance.
Flippant and insane as it Is, the Street
of Algiers has its lesson. It may be told
in a few words. Paris has grown more
serious. Instead of catering very largely
this year to amuse, the exposition sets it
self out to instruct. Consequently, despite
its noise, the Midway Plaisance is not by
any means the most conspicuous feature
in the oriental section. * Three-quarters of
this space are devoted to the pavilion, in
which the industries, products, customs
and costumes of the oriental races are
exhibited, in a serious way. The Anna
mite soldiers guard a dignified display, and
so with nearly all the other subdivisions
of the place. Outside of the Street of Al
giers the only other place thereabouts
w’here mankind is amused is a big tem
ple-shaped structure used as an Egyptian
theater; and the show here is a Sunday
School class, compared to the exhibits one
sees in the street itself,

He Was the Most Valuable of the
Cinr'n Councilors.
From the NVw York Tribune.
In the death of Count MuravJeff the
Russian Emperor loses the man who was
commonly regarded as his most important
and valuable counselor, at the very time
when he has most pressing need cf him.
The crisis in China is also a crisis in Rus
sian affairs, and a strong andexperier.ee!
minister is needed in the foreign office.
Count Munravieff was that kind of man.
Ho was by birth and ancestry an ideal
representative of the ancient aristocracy
of Russia, of that race of savage- chief
tains that flourished in barbaric power an 1
splendor before the Romanoffs were hear l
of. In spirit, too. he was the perfect
embodiment of the “Russian system.” He
had all the severity of hfa father, who
crushed Poland so ruthlessly, n i yet so
much tact and policy that he was aHe
to pose as the chief promoter of the Peace
Congress at The Hague, Above all men
of his day, perhaps, he kept in mind the
long-esiabHshed principle that Russian vic
tories are diplomatic, not military, and
above all he practiced that type of and plo
macy which has given to Russia so many
victories. His place Will not be easily fill
ed.
For a little over three years ti e laie
Count Muravieff had been the con
spicuous man in continental diplomacy.
He was appointed minister of foreign af
fairs in January, 1897, being at that time
52 years of age. a fair-haired, grey-eyed
m in. .‘-lightly owr middle hifht, always
dressed in the latest Parisian style, weil
groomed. rather bald, with a monocle
screwed tightly to his left eye, and ex
ceedingly brief of speech. He hn 1 spent
his youih in the universities of Poltava
and Heidelberg, ami had entered the diplo
matic service In UC4, being attached to th°
Russian embassy in Berlin. Ii wan during
this mission that there occurred a pain
ful domestic tragedy, the facts of which
have never been publicly known, but
which forever embittered the young dip
lomatist's life against the Prussia? s. Ijh
ter he was stationed at Stockholm aid
Stuttgart, and in 1574 h* was appcimeJ
secretary of legation at The Hague. From
ISBO until 1884 he served at Paris, and in
IMM he was promoted to be Russian min
ister to Denmark. There he remained, al
though making frequent visits to St. Pe
tersburg. until called to take charge rf
the portfolio of minister of foreign af
fairs. Asa young man Nicholas II had
entertained an admiration for Muravleff.
Their ideas regarding foreign policy co li
dded exactly. It was natural th;.t the
Czar should turn to Muravieff when the
post of minister of foreign affairs was
made vacant by the and ath of LoKanoff.
Moreover, it is likely that Ibano€f him
self suggestd Muravieff a® the best man
to succeed to his post.

THE HOME OF THE PLAGUE.
Wliy (he Pestilence Is Bred in Chi
nese Cities*.
From the London Leader.
One who has seen any of the towns and
cities in China wonders little why disease
and plague are prevalent. A correspondent
lately In China whites that he recently
went to Foo-Chow, a town near the east
coast, which was approached by way of
the river Myn, one of the most pictur
esque waterways in the whole of the Ce
lestial Empire.
Ships h ave to anchor at the customs pa
goda, from which persons are conveyed
to Foo-Chow by sampan or steam launch,
the distance being about ten miles.
Foo-Chow is considered one of the most
filthy and overcrowded towns in China,
and a person landing there cannot fail to
notice the fact immediately he sets foot
on shore. Everywhere there are teeming
masses of dirty, ragged and half-starved
looking ChJestials. The streets (alleyways
would be a better term) are only about
eight feet wide, and all metalled or paved
with irregular lumps of stone and rock.
On each side there are stagnant gutter
ways, which emit most obnoxious per
fumes, causing one to hold a handkerchief
to his nostrils the whole time he has to
traverse the roads.
In jthe terribly hot weather the China
man places a plank of wood from his
doorway onto the street, across the gutter,
and takes his night’s sleep, perhaps with
out a covering, perhaps in the clothes he
has not had off for weeks.
Nearly every building is a shop, and
outside every three or four are placed
buckets of garbage—in some places holes
fu.l of it—which add to the sickening
stench of the gutters. Every now and
again one hears loud shouting in front or
behind him, which is an Indication chat
all on foot must clear the way for some
chair carriers, who are c arrying upon their
shoulders some important personage.
The sight on the main bridge spanning
the liver cannot Ik* accurately described.
Mach side was crowded with stalls with
goods of every description—dirty-looking,
turoble-<lo\\ n affairs. Cripples and beg
gars were numerous, and there were also
lepers; there were men with terrible sores
a.:d two Chinamen lay half naked on the
roadway, dying, Th\*v is a law in vogue
in Foo-Chow that the first person who
shad touJii a man who has died in such
a manner shall bury him. Very few’ how
ever, receive burial if they dio on the
bridge. The person who is unfortunate
enough to touch tin* dead one waits until
dark, and then, as the Americans say.
dumps’ the departed Into the river. Bod
ies are found nearly every day floating
among the shipping, or half buried in the
mud when the water is low.
