Bucknam Pasha, the American sailor of fortune who commands the sea-going division of the Ottoman fleet, when.offered the position of naval adviser to the Sultan bluntly told the sovereign that he could not afford to accept a post where the salary was so uncertain. So amused was Abdul Hamid at the frankness of the reply lie gave instrictions to the ministry of marie that Bucknam's pay must be secured by the receipts of the Galata- Stamboul hridge) "the rickety structure built on boats over the Golden Horn, to cross which atoll is collected from every person.

Then came a lapse; ene month, two menths, three months went by without" his being able to col lect a piaster his pay. His house rent became overdue; the butcher, the baker, "the candlestick maker, sympa- hetic all, nevertheless demanded the payment of their accounts. One day, driven to desperation by a particularly unsatisfactory interview with the di bursing officer at Yildiz, Bucknam sum- moned a young Turkish aide-de-camp who had "heen educated in America, jumped into a carriage and drove post-haste tothe 1minmistry-- of - marine in Stamboul."

They want wives. That is, if they can find the right" ones. All of them are good-hearted, kind, affectionate and capable of real love. Ihey say so in letters to Levi Grant Mofroe, secretary of the Spokane chamber of commerce, who became. in restetl in the movement when Rev. D. aughan, pastor of "ghe Halsted street Hrstitutionat --chureh;* Chicago; announced that more than 200 girls be- longing toe his congregation: would marry "horiest men who can make clean money."

During * the summer months the wealthy Turkish familie¥ usually close their own houses and 'take up their summer residences in palaces which line the shores of the orus or dot . in': Prerybody"s the 'Princes Islands in the Sea of Mar-} mora. At these times the women of the harems indulge for several hours each day in the luxury of sea bathing, being guarded during their ablutions by armed attendants who : peremptorily warn off all intruders. _ Izzet Pasha, the late secretary of the Sultan, now a fugitive in Togland, even went to the extent of making the women of this harem bathe in a great wooden cage, half submerged in the sea, so fat by no possibility could a man reach the immediate vicinity of the fair bathers, even by swimming under water. od Ses The gardens leading from the pasha's country house down to the bathing beach ran side by side with those of a fashionable hotel frequented by foreign- ers during the summer months. One morning, as the women of the harem, thinking themselves unobserved, were making their way to thie bathhouse, somewhat more scantily clad than us- nal, they discoveréd, perched on an up- per balcony of the. hotel which over- looked the pasha's rden, a young Russian who was industriously taking snapshots of them with a hand camera. Their cries of alarm summoned one of the pasha's Albanian kavasses, who, learning the cause of the disturbance, drew his revolver and, levelling it full at the Russian, ordered him to throw down the camera, plates and all. The Russian started to temporize, but the hammer clicked ominously, and the camera came crashing down at the feet of the kavass. Had there been in- stant's longer delay there would un- questionably have been-a dead Russian in Prinkipo, for these Albanian servants are fanatics of tried ferocity, who are pledged to give their lives in avenging an insult to the ladies of their master's harem.

New York World. the Chicago clubwoman wha is seek- ing to reform criminals byearbviding them with new suits of clothes is pro- ceeding on the right line. Good clothes increase self-respect, which is the foun- dation of all morality. There are gentlemanly burglars, but do men in dress suits ordinarily crack safes? rt has been observed that when a man begins to detoriorate socially the ef- fects are first visible at his extremities, in his shoes, gloves and hat. No doubt many a poor wretch on the verge of a moral breakdown could be redeemed through the saving grace of a pair of. neat shoes, a new hat, and a fresh tie. There is pride in the port of the man whose clothes are brushed, and whose shoes are. blackened which fortifies him against the meaner vices. Scorn not the dude'! His clothes may be his sal- vation. But the remedy having been found the difficulty is to apply it. Shall there be state or municipal bureaus for the free distribution of new suits? Thee have been philanthropic projects: less wise, and this might not be imprac- ticable could the leaks in the adminis- tration of public charities be stopped. Makes Merry Managers: Some idea of the amazing. financial success of Henry W. Savage's pfoduc- tion of "The Merry Widow" is ob- tained from the report that the gross receipts of the Boston company, which closed its season of thirty-three weeks ending last Saturday 1n Montreal, amounts in round numbers to nearly a half-million. dollars, Last year this same company played six months in Chicago to over $300,000, while the New York company played fifty-two weeks to a million dollars. The New York company and the Western com- pany are still on tour, playing even to greater receipts than the Boston com- pany. This means that up to April 1st three "Merry Widow" companies this season have played to over one and a half million dollars, -a-record that can- not be touched by the total receipts of any other six opera companies. Bill Nye's Reporting. Denver Post. Bill Barlow, of Wyoming, told of one of the-first humorous, paragraphs of his former editorial associate, Bill Nye. There had been a railroad acci- dent. The locomotive was lost, two passenger cars were destroyed, the ex- press car was smashed; but no one had been fatalty hurt. This is the way Bill Nye described it: "For upward of twepty years repairs have been re- peatedly = promised the old South Bridge. Hoping against hope, and waiting until distracted, the old bridge became discouraged at last, and yes- terday just laid down in the gorge with a passenger train." What The Barbet Did. The Delineator.
