Where Cholera Broods.
Dr. Gerhard Bohlfs, the German explorer, makes some revelations concerning cholera that are calculated to make
civilization's hair stand on end. It is his
conviction after careful investigation on
tiie spot that cholera originates in Mecca
ikelf and in the valley of Mnna, and nowhere else. The testimony of Sir Rioh-
ard Burton, likewise of the German traveler Von Maltzan, who visited Mecca 30
years ago during one of the pilgrimages,
is corroborative in every respect of
Rohlfs' opinion.
The cholera is caused partly by the
observance of a custom that began, putting it exactly, March 9,632. That day,
coming into the vale of Mnna at the
head of his followers, the prophet Mohammed sacrificed with his own hands
68 camels—one for every year of his life.
His followers numbered 100,000, and
each of these killed a camel or some other
animal, so the story goes that 100,000
dumb creatures were thus sacrificed in
honor of Mohammed's sixty-third birthday. Whether this story is literally true
or not, certain it is that every year a large
number of sheep and camels are slain in
sacrifice at the coming together of the
pilgrims to Mecca, The earth becomes
a sea of blood. Sir Richard Burton
writes that once when in this vicinity
he made all possible haste to get out of
the pestilential valley, as the stench was
something awful. Between 5,000 and
6,000 animals were thus sacrificed within Burton's knowledge.
This horrid rite has now been annually celebrated upon the same blood
soaked earth for 1,260 years. To this
must be added two almost equally disturbing facts. One is that the hundreds
of thousands of pilgrims from the fringe
of north Africa, from Arabia and elsewhere never change their underclothing
from the time they set out till their return. The pilgrims from the north
African coast journey to Mecca in
steamers that are dangerpusly overcrowded. There is no one to interfere
and prescribe to the captain the number
of pilgrims he shall carry on their "holy"
mission. Disease and death are consequently rampant upon even these ships.
Your Mohammedan has a deadly horror
of being buried at sea. Consequently
the corpses of those who die on shipboard are concealed in the steamer below decks till the pilgrims return home,
when there is a big funeral.
Von Maltzan saw an army of pilgrims
perform the terrible sacrificial rite in
the vale of Muna. The crowdtnunibered
10,000 people. At their head was the
cadi of Mecca. The cadi held a livetsheep,
painted in gaudy colors. At a given
signal the cadi turned the sheep's head
toward the house of the prophetiand cut
its throat. About a third of the pilgrims were provided likewise with
sheep, and they immediately slaughtered
them in a similar manner. 'Yon Maltzan writes, ''The sight was/so horrible
that 1 fled from the place/and returned
to Mecca." Perhaps Miv^Webb, who is
trying to convert the American people
to the holy, peaceful and-vcleanly Moslem
religion, will explain these facts to us.
At any rate, the Turk and his followers are unspeakable in moreiways than
one. Civilized nations ought for their
own protection to rise<and suppress these
monstrous pilgrimages. Cholera always
breaks out among the pilgrims. It would
be a miracle were it otherwise. The conditions are aggravated'"by the fact that
the visit to Mecca isftnade i during the
hot months.' All theifaithful cannot get
into the vale of Muna at once. Tens of
thousands camp upon the border and
breed pestilence; then theygoiaway and
trail it over the world.
Of the 9,000 deluded wretches that left
Tunis and neighboring ports in May last,
only half returned. The rest died of
cholera, At the so called Sticred Mount
where the hosts assemble to hear a solemn address before visiting the birthplace and shrine of the j>rophet\ there
were 100,000 persons June* 24. Many of
them were starving, and (hundreds had
died of cholera, while humlreds-of others
were dying. Worst of all^aid could not
be secured to bury the corpses. Finally
a battalion of 700 Turkisltsoldiers Wentto
this enamel house to put the dead-under
ground. Five hundred of these soldiers
themselves died of cholera.
These facts are not pleasant, but it is
time civilized people were made acquainted with them. Imagination can
picture nothing more awful or loathsome than these - pilgrimages. ■ Down
with them, even if to stop them the
Turk must be exterminated! Europe
and America should unite andj suppress
them with au iron hand.
