Doctor, Going Home, Finds
Two Servants Dead.
EVIDENCE OF HARD CONFLICT.
Aged Woman Victim Had Been In tlia
Phyiloian'a Employ Forty Years.
Dead Butler Hindoo Crime of
Thieves Money Missing.
New York, Mny 10. Miss Mariana
Mechnes, wlio lmtl been hoiiHokeepeV In
the home of Dr. Mott IX Cnnnon, nt
131 "West One Hundred nnd Twenty
second street, for forty yenrsnnd Wil
limn Rccinmi, 11 Hindoo, who went to
work on Saturday aa butler, were
found badly beaten and' Phot to death
In the house Into yesterday afternoon
when Dr. Cannon returned from limit
ing calls. About $200 was misslnv
from a dresser In Dr. Cannon's room.
Krom the facts nt hand last night the
police concluded that the housekeeier
and butler had been killed by Jmrglarx
Miss Mechnes, who was slxty-ni i
years old and frail, was found !!:. -.
the front parlor. Sfio had been slim
through the mouth, the bullet fjillttliu
her faleo teeth and llnally falling to
the lloor, near where she lay. One of
her eyes was discolored nnd a deep
wound in the back of her head ap
peared to Involve a fracture of the
fkull. The furniture and other articles
In the rooms on the door where she
lay seemed to be In perfect order.
There was every Indication that she
had been killed whero she lay.
Becman, the butler, was lying just
Inside the door leading from the base
ment to the street There were six
deep wounds on his head, two of which
appeared to be bullet holes. One was
beside the right temple and the other
behind the right ear. Two of the oth
er wounds, which were such ns might
hnve been made by an Iron bar, were
on the right side of his head nnd two
were on his forehead. Evidently he
also had fallen where he wns shot.
Reside Brenian lay Dr. Cannon's re
volver, which had been kept in an un
locked drawer of his dresser. Three
cartridges had been exploded. Dr.
Cnnnon snld the pistol had not been
fired before in ten years. The pistol Is
of a .32, the same caliber as the bullet
found beside Miss Mechnes. None of
the missing money nor the six stick
pins, which were missing from Dr.
Cannon's room were found In the Hin
doo's pockets.
Police Inspector Hussey, Captain
Carey ol ioIIce headquarters nnd Cap
tain Kuhne of the Harlem detective
bureau, thought the Indications pointed
to burglars ns soon as the extent of
the Injuries of the dead persons
were noted, nnd this Impression was
strengthened when they found doubled
up in n room on the top floor nn early
edition of an afternoon paper, which
looked as If a jimmy might have been
wrapped up In It. Dr. Cannon was
sure that no member of his household
had brought that particular newspa
per in. No evidence of the use of ti
jimmy for the purpose of getting into
the house wan found, but force had
been used to open a drawer of the
physician's dresser, from which ?100
was taken. The other 5100 was taken
from a miniature gas stove which was
used as a bank and stood on the
dresser.
Dr. Cannon Is a widower, his wife
having died over a year ngo after hav
ing been nn Invalid for years. Miss
Mechnes had been her nurse aud hud
been In Dr. Cannon's employ before
he wns married.
The Cnnnon home is the most strik
ing residence In tin; section between
Lenox and Seventh avenues. It Is
built of Indiana limestone and is In
great contrast to the other houses,
which are nearly all- brownstone
houses. The Cannon house Is the only
one In the block with a bay .window
nnd would nt once attract the attention
o persons who were looking for a
likely place In which to And valuables.

THE STREETS OF CAIRO
A L1VLXG PICTURE Ol'" THE HAST
AND WEST.
(Special to Tho Citizen.)
If you would see tho orlglnnl mov
ing picture Bhow, go to tho streets
of Cairo, tho meeting place of tho
east nnd west. Travellers aa long
ngo ns tho days of Bayard Taylor
found these, streets famous for their
life nnd color. But unlike somo of
tho Institutions of the east, they havo
not lost by contrnst by tho Introduc
tion of our western ways. Indeed
their -Interest Is rather enhanced by
being brought Into comparison with
tho wnys of tho new world. The old
customs havo not ns yet been chang
ed. It Is snld that the east never
changes. Will It still continue nfter
the garb of our civilization hns been
shifted?
Sluing In the Eabekinh Gnrdons,
which are in the heart of modern
Cairo, you mny see much of the llfo
of the great nnd growing city of
Egypt. But you will Eoe It as ono
who sits npart, for no one Is allowed
to enter who does not pay his plaster.
This will keep you from the beggars
nnd touts, but It will nlso separate
you from much that Is most charac
teristic of this meeting place of tho
nations. Whichever way you turn
thero Is something new and strango
set,- off by that which Is older than
Hie .days of Abraham.
Here they come, one after nnoth
oiv. sl.rjutlng, gcuticulnting, running,
loitering, with faces Intent, silly, Im
passive. The first thing that strikes
the visitor is the rapid movement on
the streets. Have the donkey boys,
used to running behind their nniinals
grown up into porters and servants
willing to raco bare-footed through
the streets after they are middle-aged
men? The stinging crackle of the
cab driver's whip takes the plnce of
the wnrnlng "step lively," more
familiar to western ears, while the
cabs and busses dart through crowd
ed and nnrrow streets at n surpris
ing pace.
All are avid for your money. You
can hardly refuse to buy the articles
thrust upon you on every hand. To
hesitate or show the slightest inter
est is to surrender to the wiles of the
dealer. Newsboys thrust their pa
pers into your hands and will hardly
be refused, no matter what the lan
guage of the paper or its date either.
Dealers in sham antiquities would un
load enough of their wares on you to
fill your trunk, gravely declaring
that they themselves have found their
useless wares in the mummy chamb
ers. But the grentest show is to be
found in the old or native quarter.
That man does not know Cairo who
has not seen this; here life goes on as
it did hundreds or even thousands
of years ago. The only difference is
that the moderns have entered to
take advantage of the ancient ways
of bnrter, or more likely to be
taken advantage of by the ancient
people who barter.
It is doubtful whether a Euro
pean, wandering into tho maze of
narrow streets, would ever And his
way out, if he could not pass the
barrier of language. Tho safest way
to sco the sight is to take a car
riage, or better still to bestride n
donkey and plunge into the seeth
ing, shouting mass of humanity.
You must not be afraid to brush
against your fellow creatures, the
fleas will And you anyhow; but be
careful that the donkey does not
crush your leg against the angle of
some wall. If you are fastidious
you will want to turn back from the
smells, hut you will miss one of the
strangest of sights if you do. It
will pay to take the trip even nt
the cost of having your clothes dis
infected afterwards.
One advantage of the donkey Is
that you can easily pass with him
where no carriage could possibly
enter. You make a sweep to turn
a corner and miss by a hair tho
whole earthly stock of somo street
merchant. You may bump hubs
with tho tall wheeled stone carts
perhaps, but it is surprising how few
accidents thero are. There .is a
vast deal of shouting nnd much
swearing in Arabic, but I have not
yet seen blows exchanged.
Everything is done on tho streets.
All the handcrafts aro carried on
within a few Inches of whero tho
feet of beasts nnd men touch tho
pavement. Even the passing of tho
foreigner does not cause tho worker
to lift his eyes from his tasks. A
few simple tools, a fow bits of wood
or metal, a tiny stock in trade of
paint or enamel, a leisurely adapting
of moans to ends, but presontly you
will havo somo pleco of furniture
or Jowelory that Is a priceless gem
of its kind. Crowd your donkoy
Into somo 'convenient alcove on tho
opposite side of tho street and you
may watch tho whole process. So
goes on all through the tropical
daylight, oxcopt for a briof space
at noon, every concolvablo sort of oc
cupation, many of which aro al
most unknown in our factory-made
civilization.
But If tho processes of manufac
ture go on, trade Is tho great oc
cupation of tho oriental. Let no
western-born mnn daro to go Into
competition here for ho is suro to
bo worsted. Tho most striking fact
that attracts you 1b tho bowlldoring
variety of goods of every color piled
to the very ceilings of these bazaar
shops. Thero Bit tho fattened mer
chants under their roofed-over streets
with tho filmiest gauzes and richest
embroideries spread out by tho side
walk. Do not despiso their wares
benuso their booths aro not larger
than tho ticket office of an elevated
railroad station. Thero mny bo as
many dollars Invested In Hint pnltry
shop as In some American dcpnrt
ment stores.
It Is not the goods alone, but the
llfo of the oriental that Is Interest
ing. On ono side you see a henvy
Jewelcd tradesman sitting over his
wares fast asleep, in the midst of
tho babel that may banish sleep from
your eyes two blocks away. Hero
aro little children, some of them
nctually not able to toddle, playing
on theso streets nnd hnrdly taking
the trouble to move from under the
slouching steps of yonder camel,
within arm's length of tho pnsslng
throng, enroful to veil their faces
but careless otherwise. Now a
string of bleating goats passes. Next
an Egyptian soldier in tho nnttlcst
of uniforms, llore come's a beauty
of the harem In richest attire, tho
lower part of her face showing dim
ly through her white veil. There
Is ' a blind beggar mumbling his
prayer for alms. Now a leather
vlsaged sheik of the desert, next a
Scottish soldier in kilts, then n
silken-robed broker wcnrlng the
fez. All these in a street so crowd
ed Hint one cannot swing his arms
ns he walks.
Just ahead Is tho arch of tho an
cient gnte of the city ornamented
with tho Instruments of torture used
by a former rnlori Unler Its shadow
sits a scribe to write letters of
business or nffectlon. in front of
him stands a countryman holding
two song pigeons by their1 , wings
bent back in his hand.
There are mile 5 of such Alms for
moving pictures In tUeso crooked
ways, noisy, filthy and smelling of
every foul thing under heaven.
Surely the babes that, survive, escap
ing blindness or mutilation, must
be a race of iron sinew, of steel
nerve, and of keen'' ability At to
match any nation in the world.
Prom this crowded, throbbing
section of the city the traveller usu
nlly passes to tho tombs' of the
Mamelukes and the Khedives. Here
there are many blind and halt beg-

HOW Tv TEST PAPER.
You cannot tost pacr ag you would
string, by stretching ;t. It has been
stretched en much in the process of
manufacture that It won't stand much
more. The way to test It Is to rub it
in the hands. After such treatment
poor paper Is full of holes and cracks.
Good paper simply takes the appear
ance of leather. If much white dust
Is produced we know there are earth
ly impurities. If It cracks it has
been bleached too much. London
