AMERICAN CONSULAR PLUCK.
How Consul Heap Saved Citizen from Mus.
sulman Wrath.
(Cincinnati Commercially

LONDON, April IA letter from Constan-
tinopie. dated April 8, gives the following
particulars of q conflict OF jurisdiction be-
tween the United States Consul General and
the Ottoman authorities, growing out Of the
arrest of an American citizen for murder, an
account of which was telegraphed the tenth
instant:
A case has come recently before the Ameri-
can consul which involves very important
questions Of international rights, and estab-
fishes privileged position for American cit
izens. A treaty between the United States
and Turkey stipulates that any American
citizen having committed penal offense
must be delivered up to the American CONSUL
any other foreigners, who, II charged with
criminal offense against an Ottoman subject,
would be tried by an Ottoman Judge, al
though his case would be watched by the
dragoman Of his consulate. A month ago an
American citizen, established in business In
Constantinople, killed an Ottoman subject
accidentally. He surrendered himself to the
American consul, after having remained hid
den few days. In the meantime the Turk
ish police seized everything In his ware
assistance OF the American dragoman. The
accused Is an importer of arms. and the
minister of police forced box Of arms
open, and appropriated several re-
vovers, which example was followed by other
officials. Consul General Heap, who is also
Charge d d'Affaires, was informed of the charge
against the American after this act, and on
the day previous to his surrender complained
to Sawas Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
that the domicile of the American citizen
had been violated and robbery committed
by police officials. On the surrender of the
homicide Mr.. Heap informed the Minister of
Police OF the fact, stating that according to
the stipulations between the United States
and Turkey, he would himself try the pris-
oner. The Minister of Police has not appeared
at the Consulate and Mr. Heap has informed
Sawas Pasha that he will not surrender the
prisoner to the Turkish tribunal, and that he
expects the evidence to be brought before the
Consular Court.
Thus the case stands at present. II the
prisoner is tried by Mr.. Heap, other powers
will claim similariprivileges for their subjects.
A dispatch from Constantinople, cabled the
tenth and dated four days later than the above
letter, stated that the prisoner had been tried.
found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced
Heap declined to give him up to the Ottoman
authorities.

CITY HALL.
Spirited Horses VS.. Kite Flying.

Spirited Horses VS.. Kite Flying.
To break the monotony of the Municipal
Hall yesterday two visitors put In an appear
ance In the Mayors parlor-Wm. Clements
To show his broken head, about which there
IA some difference OF opinion between the city
nhysician, Dr. Beard, and patrolman, as to
whether a club or hatchet was the instrument
used to infict the wound.
The other visitor only showed his temper.
Az he is a gentleman of high respectability,
and his ofiense venial one. his name Is sup
messed. He came to ask the Mayor to
nut a stop to kite flying on the streets, on the
grounds that he owned spirited horse which
WAS ant to be frightened by flying kites. The
Mavor rood humoredly called the gentle
,nan,s attention to the fact that kite-fying
was = pastime In which the gentleman had
nrobably INDUCED In with great gusto when a
hov and that It would be very difficult mat
terto confine the kite flying of our youths to
the outskirts OF the city: In fact, to find a To-
cality wherein spirited horses are not liable to
stray occasionally, with or without their mas
ters and be frightened by Kites. he then re.
ferred the gentleman to the TACT that splrlted
horses were sometimes frightened on the lines
of our steam cars; yet, he asked him, whether
the immense number Of people who patron
izafi the cars should be deprived of this mode
of conveyance because the few who ride spir-
tied horses might be inconvenienced.

SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
And There Seems but one Answer
Possible.

The manufacturers of the genuine
Singer Machine state some facts and
figures and then ask some important
questions, which we will leave the
public to answer.
Companies have sprungu i'll every
part of the Union for making an
Limitation Singer Machine" Why
are not similar companies foamed
for making limitations of other sew
ing machines?
The Singer has taken the first prize
over all competitors more than two
hundred times. Why?
After the Chicago fire the Relief
Committee undertook to furnish sew
ing machines to the needy women of
that city. Applicants were permitted
to choose from six different kinds of
machines. 1914 applicants were
furnished with machines 2,427 chose
Singer Machines, and SIT distributed
their choice among the five other
kinds of machines! These girls were
to EARN THEIR LIVING on these ma
chimes. Why did they take Singers
In the year 1878 there were sold
356, 432 Singer Machines, and in 1879,
431, 167, or 74,745 more machines
than in the previous year, over 400
Sewing machines for every working
day in the year It is claimed that
threefourths of all the Sewing ma
chimes sold throughout the world in
1873 were Singers Now why
These are important questions for
all in need of Sewing Machines to
ponder over and then it would be
well for them to call upon Mr.. HUI
|senerkapf, on Asylum street, between
Market Square and Gay street, who
is agent for the genuine Singer and
who will be glad to give all the in
formation wanted about this cele-
brated machine and no doubt can
throw some light upon the questions
asked. Cali on him and see the ma

That Points to the Success Of q
Great Industry.

A recent number of the Sewing Machine
News, published in New York, contains the
item that the Wheeler & Wilson Manufac-
turing Company, had Just bought in one
lot 10, 600, 900 feet of black walnut lumber,
which is to be manufactured into cases for
their new No. machines.
For person to read of this casually,
80 900, OOO' does not seem to be very
formidable number, but when considered a
little, it amounts up, and beyond the com
prehension of a great many very intelligent
people. 100, 900 feet of lumber is no small
pile, and it takes ten such piles to make one
million feet, and .pne hundred such piles to
make ten million feet, or in other words,
one hundred thousand thousands is Ten Mil
hons-whiehs is so great that the lifetime Of
the Oldest man now living could not count
all of it, if he had begun when a child.
This ten millions of feet of lumber will
make one million cases for the ''New No.
s" Machine, and the Company had on
hand, and contracted for, at the time of this
purchase, enough lumber to make half a
million more.
This is significant straw which shows
the way the wind is blowing, and the pub
lie may feel assured by it; that this COM
pany is going to supply the demand for the
Monarch all through another generation
at least III
So it win also dispel the illusion, held by
many, ''that the sewing machine business
is about played out"
Really, it is but in its infancy as millions
of families have no machine of any kind,
millions of old ones are every day becoming
disabled and are to be replaced by new
ones. 80
Those who have no machines, should buy
s'No. 81 at once, as holiday gift to their
household; and those who have old style,
noisy, cumbersome traps, difficult to man
age and always out of order, would do well
to replace them with something that would
be alike, pride and pleasure to them te
/ work On. The Wheeler Il Wilson Manufae
turing Company's branch Office, 115 Gay
street, or any of its numerous agencies
throughout East Tennessee, viii be glad t.
fill any orders they may receive, and guar
antee satisfaction In every instance.
| These superior machines are sold fol
cash, or part cash, and the balance on cas-.
terms and old machines of all kinds are-re
ceived as part payment, at their full value
