4 A VISIT TO THE “STREET OF ALGIERS,” It Is the Oriential Section of the Great World’s Exposition at Paris.

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- ENTRANCE TO A CONCERT HALL. (From a Photograph.) 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. Ton go ck ser snd 1 ok down the thor oughfare. There Is an air of double dls tllhd wickedness about the place that it could never hu\c acqulr and if it had betn *•1 out n the sunlight, with art. science and clvllizaii n going by it every minute. iu.t would have changed the scene im- ui silly. Hut here. In a narrow, wind- I g way (so shut tiff from the wl.lt , c l an woili i but fifty yards Ir in the entram e 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 THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 24, 1900. 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 If \\ a. u ail c- fr 1 M /£- \ I fia Hr ■•ti&krx’k x‘*a> •>..■. y\ fGUffijS?!* wtflfk j® ■ ’C.**,- bi/- v 5 • l I;; ii Slift - - -.vJ ON THE TROCADF.RO HILL. (From a Photograph.) 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, V. Gribayedoff. COIll*T Ml HAVimV 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. —Frau Grobner, of Vienna, Is the last survivor of the great chorus which sung *t the first performance of Beethoven's Choral Symphony. fih<* Is 97 years old.

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. -A KoenlK.-l.ors and ;ctor has succeeded in grafting- a ta'Sen ’s second toe on his hand hi 1 Iseo of an amputated forefin ger.
