L ?. HATS <81 CO. CINCINNATI. OHIO. I Tut WtOes In Ca Jea lousy Prompted Moorish Merchant to a Strange Deed. On Visiting Taris With Thru Spouses He Demised This Method of Confining Them In a Flat. When a few months ago a trader from Morocco named Mohammed Ben something or other went from his native land to Paris on business he took with him a trio of wives and a female servant to look after them THE MOOB BBAHDBHED A HUGE BLUDGEON. and the housekeeping arrangements. He took a flat in the Latin quarter, and the arrival of the party created quite a sensation in the neighborhood, as the natural charms of the ladies, who are all supremely lovely, were enhanced by the picturesque costumes of their own country. Dwellers in the street, especially members of the sterner sex, devoted a good deal of time to watching for the goings out and comings in r\f the hpnntlps from Morocco, but. alHS, their fond hopes were doomed to cruel disappointment for awhile, as only Mohammed and Fatma, the servant, ever effected a sortie. One fine day, however, excitement reigned In the neighborhood. The merchant from Fez had a few days before left Paris for a tour In the provinces, and, lo and behold, his fair friends were emerging from their dwelling, and, escorted by the maid, were attired in fashionable and up to date costumes, enjoying a walk every day until the Moor was on the point of returning. In the meanwhile great had been the havoc wrought In susceptible male bosoms as th? belles from the land of the setting sun, with their flashing eyes, raven tresses and pearly white teeth, had strolled along, gazing into the shop windows and exchanging laughing remarks with each other. But, somehow or other, Mohammed, as was well nigh Inevitable, heard of these delectable excursions, and, after having administered sound correction to the three graces and also to the servant, with whose assistance they had procured the fashionable costumes, he had a big cage fitted up in a room, and whenever he went out he locked the four women up In it The pretty birds would not fly out again in a hurry, he said to himself, and so great was his vigilance that there could be no question of any fresh attempt in that direction. He, at any rate, was no admirer of the policy of the open door. The harem might have gone on without any embarrassment until the termination of the business visit to France If the Moor had not allowed the green eyed monster, jealousy, to trouble his brain. One day awful screams resounded from the flat, and neighbors, dashing in to the rescue, beheld an extraordinary spectacle. The four women were huddled together in a corner of the cage in abject terror, while Mohammed brandished a huge bludgeon, with dire threats of doing them to death with It He had gone stark, raving mad, but he was promptly overpowered and committed to the custody of the police, who conveyed 1 .? 1-a 111X11 IL> uit? luurmai/ ai uuc ^iucviuie. When they were asked, In sheer bewilderment, why they had submitted to i such treatment and had allowed them; selves to be caged In a free country, I the four women answered in chorus, : "It was at the master's bidding." Res! ignation could no further go, but so it ! was. Fate and the master had willed i it and to hear was to obey. Now the i fair captives may have a good time. Stung.

Snubby nosed, unpretentious and dingy, a tramp on the high seas, the German steamer Aibenga, from the far east, survived a typhoon off the China coast. The rusty merchantman found a 4 A T5??U I tcLuyuiaij lest at uit; x>a2>u leruiiuui docks, New York, says a correspondent of the St Louis Post-Dispatch. The Albenga, which had ieft Yokohama and then Hiogo and Kobe for Shanghai, engaged in an endurance contest with the typhoon for twelve hours, being stripped of her rudder, every blade of her propeller but one, and emerging from the fight with the elements despoiled of boats and bits of gear, appurtenances of a ship quite necessary for proper working and safety. At first there was a prelude in the shape of a hurricane, but that, in comparison with what was to come, was only a short curtain raiser. The decks were so whelmed in water that the steamer seemed to be sinking. A gleam of yellow and red told of tbe coming of daybreak. The air became as still as the Interval preceding a cyclone on a prairie or a sandstorm on a great desert Of a sudden Captain Petersen found himself enveloped in a squall of gray and black, shutting the sight of the bow from the bridge and leaving him in the pall of midnight. Then the wind was heard, not felt It did not appear to be coming from any particular quarter or whirling upon one axis, but there were shrieks of a dozen different whirlwinds, each having an axis of its own and vying with its neighbors in energy, volume of sound and destructiveness. These independent typhoons, struggling with one another, appeared to the imaginative mind to be quarreling among themselves and emitting gigantic roars, each battling to be selected to destroy the shapeless thing of steel and bravado which had presumed to invade the cave of the winds. Most remarkable was the fact that there was not a breath of air. In this center of calm the ship trembled as if she were an animal intwined with an Instinct that scented danger. Expecting giant waves to board them, as in the Atlantic, the crew was unprepared for what followed. As If prompted by a signal, great geysers sprang from the boiling waters, coveilng the decks with white froth, floating adrift every detail of ship gear and furnishings that was not screwed fast The familiar green of story was absent, but GREAT GEYSERS SPRANG PROM THE BOILING WATERS. spirals of black topped with white squirmed sad hissed and spat and, when near enough, spurned upon the steamer. * The noaresisting ship was hope to, ready to accept any fata The barometer was down to 2&50. The wind shifted from southeast to northwest and in the morning watch the Albenga worked her way through the shifting swirls of the typhoon outward into the skirts. In so doing Captain Petersen was but quitting one shape of terror and phenomenon for other perils of a more serious . character. Then came the **Mi<rho* raaa. Hiring to a height ol thirty feet, that fell upon' the merchantman, stealing from her whatever they conld wrench away. The wind blew so furiously that the Instruments refused to gauge it, the index spinning around to the limit and stopping there. By eight bells of the afternoon watch the god of the storm had abated, but a new danger menaced the Albenga. She was drifting rapidly in a disabled condition upon a rocky coast Two anchors were let go. They dragged at first but finally held fast when the ship was little more than a mile from shore, and here she rode in comparative safety for fourteen hours. Shortly before noon on the second day of the typhoon the wind had gone out of business sufficiently for the captain to head seaward through the tremendous waves still running. He rigged a Jury rudder, with booms and drag, and headed offshore.
