A correspondent writes: "As We were all
talking and thinking of Turkey and the
Turks, am reminded of an anecdote rela-
ted to me by Belzoni, on shroye Tuesday,
1928, at the Hotel Beauveau (ssill existing)
at Earseilles, on the eve of his departure
for his final and fatal exosition TO Timbuc
too. AS our conversation naturally turn
ed upon the Carnival, whose exit was be-
ing celebrated by the usual masks and
mummers under our windows, he told me
that a few years before, at Lisbon, where
the usual saturnalia were being INDUCED
in, mask in the gay crowd threw an or
ange at the carriage of the Turkish Am
basssdor, which struck him in tho face; up.
on which the Ambassador, after slight
delay, proceeded to the Portuguese Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, to complain of the
indignisy thus publicly offered him. 20,
said the Poruguse Minister, such is the
custom Of the country on these occasions
and hope your Ekcellency will pardon it.

A Dramatic Scene in Court.

Philadelphia Times.
The Riddell will case, which has been
before Judge Fell's Court for the last two
OF three days, developed some interesting
testimony yesterday. The plaintiff, a son
of the deceased architect, John Rid

which cut him off without penny and
made the Campbells wealthy. Young Rid
dell bases his claim upon an alleged secret
marriage between his mother and father.
When the mother took the stand yesterday,
the defense asked whether she had not,
shortly after her child's birth, begun legal
proceedings against the architect for seduc-
tion, and whether her demands had not
been satisfied by RiddelP paying her large
sum of money. She became confused at
the question, and denied that such an ar

A Heavy Blow.

There are some wonderful blowers in the
Capitol this session, and probably Senator
Thurman stands at the head sof the cata-
logue.
He sports red bandanna handkerchief,
ane blows the loudest nose in America.
II is said that upon a recent occasion
Senator Jones, who early in life had been
brakesman on railroad, dropped to sleep
at his desk, Senator Thurman gave his.nose
terrific snort. The sleeping Senator from
Nevada sprang to his feet, and seizing his
desk commenced twisting it with all his
might. He afterwards explained that he
thought Thurman's blow was an engine
whistling down brakes, and the red hand :
kerchief signal Of distress, hence his
wrenching of the desk.
Senator Macrea, from Kentucky, fell owe,
backwards, chair and all; while Senator
Morton had to be taken home between two
colored supporters.
The effect on the galleries was tremend-
GUS; all the open-mouthed mokes rushed
out, apprehending that the 'dome of the
Capitol was about to take a tumble upor
their woody heads.
There ia no telling what damage tha
terrible blow has caused, perhaps it ha
changed the fate of this nation.
