Defense Committee Corners Supplies.
LONDON, Sept. 13.—Conditions in Constantinople are described as chaotic by Reuter's correspondent in Athens, who bases his dispatch on statements made by person arriving in Athens today from the Turkish capital. The correspondents telegraphs:
"The inhabitants of Constantinople are suffering greater hardships than is necessary, because the Committee of National Defense, run by Enver Pasha, Minister of War, and Taalat Bey, Minister of the Interior, has cornered all commodities and is selling them at high prices.
"The resignation from the Cabinet of the Sheik ul Islam, representative of the Sultan in religious affairs, is confirmed. He disapproved of the extermination of the Christian elements, against which he protested to the Cabinet. The Greek-Armenian Patriarch has been deprived of all powers.
"The Black Sea end of the Bosporus has been closed by a chain of wire netting and by mines."

# The New York Times/Napoléon Daru

AS TO NAPOLEON DARU
Paris dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
The ex-statesman who has just died in Paris in his eighty-fourth year, Count Napoléon Daru had a title to fame not only by his political career, but also by reason of the fact that he was held at the baptismal font by Napoleon I. and the empress Josephine. The deceased was the son of the statesman of the First Empire, and, after having studied in the Polytechnic School, he joined the artillery that being, as is well known, the branch of the service in which his famous godfather first won his laurels at the siege of Toulon. After having served some time in Africa M. Daru, then a Captain, gave up his rank in 1818. He had previously entered the House of Peers by hereditary right, and at the Luxembourg became the fast friend of Montalembert and other Catholic Liberals. M. Daru was one of the most prominent of the organizers of the railways in France, but identified himself more closely with politics in December, 1851, when he was one of the most energetic opposers of Louis Napoleon's coup d'etat. For this, the Count was imprisoned in the Fortress of Vincennes, and on his liberation retired into private life until 1870, when the Emperor induced him to join Ollivier's LIberal Cabinet as Minister for Foreign Affairs. M. Daru, however, could not swallow the plébiscite. He had also failed in his endevours to have France represented at the Vatican Council for the proclamation of the "Papal infallibility," either by an Ambassador Extraordinary or by a Bishop attached to the Imperial Government who should be capable of urging its claims. Cardinal Antonelli opposed this doggedly, and France therefore remained neutral in the affair. In 1871 M. Daru was elected a Deputy, and in 1876 became Senator, but lost his seat in 1879. His title of "Count," which was given to his father, who had been Commisary General in the Napoleonic armies, now goes to his nephew, an artillery officer.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Hasdrubal

See also Hasdrubal the Fair on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Hasdrubal (hăs′drō-bal) was the name of several Carthaginian generals, of whom the most famous was the son-in-law of Hamilcar and brother-in-law of Hannibal. Hasdrubal accompanied Hamilcar into Spain in 237 B. C., and gave effective aid in the building up of a Carthaginian dominion in that peninsula. On the death of Hamilcar, 228 B. C., Hasdrubal ruled the new empire and advanced its frontier from the Guadalquivir to the Tagus, and founded a new capital, the modern Carthagena. He was very successful in conciliating the Iberian tribes, and mainly extended his rule by peaceful means. The Roman treaty fixing the frontier line at the Ebro was made with Hasdrubal — not with Carthage — so independent was he of the home government. He was assassinated by a Celtic slave in 221 B. C. Another Hasdrubal was Hannibal's own brother.

* BRET HARTE
Harte, Francis Bret, an American writer, was born at Albany, N. Y., Aug. 25, 1839. Going out to California in 1854, he tried school-teaching, mining and type-setting in turn. While working in the office of the Golden Era in San Francisco, he wrote his first sketches of the mining- regions and people he was familiar with. In this he struck a new vein in literature, and became popular at once, his success gaining him a place as editor on the Golden Era. He founded the Overland Monthly in 1868, and some of his best stories were contributions to it; such as The Luck of Roaring Camp, The Outcasts of Poker Flat and Truthful James. Returning to the east, he contributed to the Atlantic Monthly, and lectured upon pioneer life in California. He was United States consul at Crefeld and Glasgow. After 1885 he lived in London. He wrote a great deal, and showed power in several directions, notably in romances, in Thankful Blossom, Two Men of Sandy Bar, A Phyllis of the Sierras and in the poems John Burns of Gettysburg, Dickens in Camp and The Heathen Chinee, but was most effective in the line of his first work. He died on May 5, 1902.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Harz Mountains

See also Harz on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Harz (härts) Mountains, a range in Germany, extending between the rivers Weser and Elbe, south of Brunswick. This range is 57 miles long and 20 broad, containing an area of 784 square miles, and forms an elevated plateau, rising on most sides somewhat steeply from the plains and ridged with irregular and, in some parts, forest-clad mountains. It is divided into upper and lower Harz, with an average elevation of 2,100 and 1,000 feet each. The Brocken, 3,740 feet in height, is the highest peak of central Germany. The Harz are rich in metals and minerals — as silver, iron, lead, copper, zinc, marble, alabaster and granite — and the industries connected with the mines and forests, as well as some cattlebreeding and agriculture, afford employment to the inhabitants, while the rearing of singing-birds is also a source of profit. These mountains form a natural line of division between the low and high German races, and are the scenes of many weird legendary tales in German literature.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Hartford

See also Hartford, Connecticut on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Hart′ford, the capital of Connecticut, is situated on the right bank of Connecticut River, 50 miles above its mouth and 112 from New York. Since the original Dutch fort of 1633, which occupied the same site, the settlement in 1635-36 by a colony from Massachusetts and its incorporation as a city in 1784, it has risen to the rank of the second city of Connecticut in population. It shared with New Haven the rank of capital up to 1873, when it became the sole capital. It is a handsome city, with fine public buildings and many tasteful private houses. It is perhaps best known for being the headquarters of a number of great insurance companies and of the extensive manufactories of Colt's pistols and gatling guns. Engines, machines, boilers, hardware, stoves and wooden-wares are largely made, and it has a very considerable trade in Connecticut tobacco. It has an imposing state capitol of white marble, a state arsenal and a United States post-office and courthouse. The Wadsworth Athenæum and a fine high-school building are among the other equipments of the city, together with a Congregational theological seminary, a large hospital, asylums for orphans, the deaf and dumb and the insane; and, also, several important libraries. On the outskirts are the new buildings of Trinity College (Episcopal), founded on the present site of the capital in 1823. One of the “sights” of the city for many years was the “Charter Oak,” in which, it was said, was hidden the charter of Connecticut, when its surrender was demanded by Governor Andros. Population 98,915. See River Towns of Connecticut by Charles M. Andrews.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Hartford Convention, The

See also Hartford Convention on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Hartford Convention, The, was an assembly of delegates from the New England states, held at Hartford, Dec. 15, 1814, as proposed by the Massachusetts legislature. The war with Great Britain (1812-14) had from the first been opposed by the majority of the people of New England, who were Federalists and regarded the war as merely a ​party measure of the Democrats; and in view of the destruction of the commerce and the fisheries, which were the chief interests of New England, this convention was called to plan means of security and defense. It sat with closed doors for 20 days, and, being supposed to be of a treasonable character, was watched by a military officer of the government. The convention prepared a report, recommending the adoption of measures by the different state legislatures that would protect their citizens from being pressed into the military or naval service by force. No treasonable act was committed, no treasonable intention was proved; yet the suspicion of disloyal tendencies clung to the convention, and completed the ruin of the Federalist party in the election of 1816. Some ground for public suspicion was inferred by the fact that a section of the Federalist leaders who, in 1804 and 1809, had seriously discussed the question of dissolving the Union and forming an eastern confederacy, were foremost in bringing the convention about; the charge, therefore, of aiming at a kingdom of New England was not excuseless. Men of the highest public character who were delegates, however, defended the pure purpose and patriotism of those who took part in the proceedings, and the charges of treasonable designs are now regarded as baseless.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Harvest-Moon

See also Harvest Moon on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Har′vest-Moon. Although the moon usually rises later by a considerable interval on each successive night, owing to her motion about the earth, yet the further one goes toward the poles, the greater is the variation in the amount of her retardation. Thus in New York the moon nearest to September 22nd, the autumn equinox, varies in rising only some 25 minutes. This is because she is then in that part of her orbit which makes the least angle with the ecliptic. When a full moon occurs at about this date, it is known as the harvest-moon, because it is very convenient in harvesting to have a rather full moon, lasting almost all night, for several nights together.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Harvey, William

See also William Harvey on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Har′vey, William (1578-1657), a distinguished English physician. He is one of the epoch-makers in helping to establish the modern method of science, as noteworthy on that account as for his famous discovery of the circulation of the blood. He is likely to be underestimated in the first direction and to be known only for a single piece of work. He graduated from Caius College, Cambridge, in 1597, and went to Padua to study medicine, receiving his diploma there as doctor in 1602. He practiced in London and became a lecturer in the College of Physicians. In his lectures he brought out, about 1619, his views on the circulation of the blood, and these were published in book form in 1628, under the title De Motu Cordis et Sanguinis (On the Movement of the Heart and Blood). But Harvey did not actually see the circulation through the capillaries. His conclusions were based on reasoning from anatomical facts. Malphighi was the first actually to see, in 1661, with the help of a microscope, the circulation of blood in the lungs of the frog, but Leeuwenhoek, in 1668 and thereafter, made so much more of this line of observation that he deserves greater credit. Harvey was a very original and independent thinker, and made many more observations. He was the first great embryologist. His works were translated from the Latin and published in English by the Ray Society. He was physician at St. Bartholomew Hospital and to the king, attending James I and Charles I. See his Life by Willis.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Hashish

See also Hashish on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Hashish (hăsh' ēsh), a preparation of Indian hemp. The drug is used in the east in various ways. Sometimes it is smoked alone or with tobacco; at other times beverages are prepared from it or it is taken in the form of lozenges; or it may be taken as a medicine in the form of a resinous extract or tincture. The effects of hashish differ according to the dose or the constitution of the person using it. Some become quarrelsome; others are lost in reverie. Small doses are apt to produce causeless merriment. The unpleasant after-effects of opium seem to be different, but the hashish habit has the same evil results which follow all such indulgences.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Havelock, Sir Henry

See also Henry Havelock on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Hav′elock, Sir Henry, one of the English heroes of the Indian mutiny, was born of Danish descent in Durham, England, April 5, 1795. He entered the army in 1815. He was ordered to India in 1823. During the voyage he met with the religious experience which colored all his after-life. Havelock distinguished himself both in the Afghan and the Sikh war, but was only a lieutenant after 23 years' service. When news came, in 1856, of the Indian mutiny, he organized a column at Allahabad, and marched to the relief of the British at Cawnpore and Lucknow. After a forced march with his 2,000 men, he reached Fattehpúr, where he broke the rebel force and, continuing his march to Cawnpore, drove the enemy before him. At the instigation of the infamous Nana Sahib, the miscreants revenged their defeats, before abandoning Cawnpore, by massacring all the defenseless women and children in their hands. Havelock now advanced upon Lucknow. Crossing the Ganges, he fought eight victorious battles, which, together with fatigue and sickness, so thinned his little army that he was obliged to retire upon Cawnpore. General Outram arriving early in September with re-enforcements, Havelock again advanced to Lucknow, and after desperate fighting relieved the beleaguered garrison. The victors were now also besieged until November, when Sir Colin Campbell (afterward Lord Clyde), in his turn, forced his way to their rescue. After the relief of Lucknow, Havelock was attacked by dysentery, and died on Nov. 24, 1857. He was a Christian hero and one of England's noblest soldiers.

# The New Student's Reference Work/New Stars

See also Nova on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ New Stars, sometimes called temporary stars, are bodies which suddenly make their appearance in the heavens, rise rapidly to their full brightness, and soon begin to diminish until they can be seen only with a telescope or, perhaps, not at all. The earliest one of which we have any account is that of 1572, generally known as the Star of Tycho Brahe. But it is only since the invention of the spectroscope that this class of stars has come to be of especial interest. The new star in the constellation of Corona Borealis, discovered by Birmingham on May 12, 1866, was examined spectroscopically by Huggins and Miller. They found that it possessed both a dark line spectrum and a bright line spectrum, differing in this respect from nearly all the other stars. The next new star was that in the constellation of the Swan, known as Nova Cygni, discovered on Nov. 24, 1876, a red star of the third magnitude. Two years later it was fainter than the 11th magnitude. Nova Andromedæ was discovered in August, 1885; and Nova Orionis in December of the same year. But the star which Anderson at Edinburgh discovered on Jan. 24, 1892, far exceeded all previous new stars in interest, because the power of the spectroscope had been increased in many ways since the previous stars were observed. For a full account of this star, called Nova Aurigæ, the reader is referred to Scheiner’s Astronomical Spectroscopy, where its interesting spectrum is described in detail. The next and only other important new star was also discovered by Anderson, this time in the constellation of Perseus, Feb. 22, 1901. Many theories have been advanced to explain this curious phenomenon; but the one which at present seems most probable is that advanced by Seeliger: The new star is produced by some dark body rushing into a meteor swarm or a nebula, the impact of small particles being sufficient to bring the dark body to incandescence.

​ New Year’s Day is the first day of the year. It now is usually celebrated by feasting and the interchange of presents. Jews, Chinese, Egyptians and Mohammedans, while differing as to the time of celebration, celebrate the first day of the year in their respective calendars. In the Christian era Christmas day, Easter and the 1st of March have each in turn been celebrated, and it was not until late in the 16th century that the 1st of January was universally accepted. In Scotland, France and Italy New Year’s is of more importance than Christmas, but in other countries the latter has superseded the former as a day of rejoicing and of making gifts.
