THE SULTAN AT THE CIRCUS.
How Some American Lion Tanners Gave an
Exhibition at Yiidiz.
Cable speoial to New York Herald.

Cable Special to New York Herald.
Colonel Boone and Mrs Boone, otherwise
Milly Carlotta, the American lion tanners,
who have been astonishing the natives for
the last few days by their wonderful feats
with a group OF five lions, have met with dis
tinSuished honor at the hands of the Sultan.
They were summoned to Yildz to give an
exhibition in presence of his Majesty who
was SO struck with their intrepid behavior
that in addition to very handsome gratuity
he decorated one of them with the order Of
the Meiidie of the third class, and the other
with the Shefkat, an order specially insti-
tuted for ladies.
Thinking it would be interesting to hear
what an impression their visit to Yildiz
would make on an American mind new to
the East | waited on the Colonel and had q
chat with him.
He said: THE Sultan is mighty civil
spoken gentleman. He has nice, soft voice.
Anyhow, he treated us uncommonly well.
w hen the performance was over he told me
he was very much pleased and that | must
take the animals there again. His Majesty
sat In a chair within few feet of the cage
when drove the lions back As we prepared
to leave he called out 'Bravop He was the
only one who said word. Ali the others
stood in half-circle behind his chair. Sew
eral ladies of the harem were present, al
though they did not show themselves. They
stood behind a screen of lattice work. ! know
they were there, as one of the black fellows
came from that direction with the order of
the Shefkat sent to my wife by the Sultan's
chief lady. Besides. l caught sight OF one
lady peeping round the corner of the screen.
had not to thank anyone, but knowing
that the Sultan was fond of wild animals, l
thought it would not be long before heard
from the palace, especially as some big pa
shas had been to see the performance.
Anyhow, one of the lads came and asked
me how long it would take TO get the ami
mails to Tildiz. When the telegram arrived
we started Immediately, the cage being
drawn by six oxen. At the barracks the
guard stopped us and we had to wait an
hour while telegram was sent to Yildiz.
The reply came that his Majesty wished me
to come on Immediately. L thought after
this that the road was clear but mile
further on a cavalry picket detained us
answer all questions asked in the reply be-
fore they allowed me to move foot further.
The order came that we might move on, but
we were soon brought to stand for third
time. Presently Achmet Bey came out OF
the gates, attended by number of people
in uniform, and asked if l had firearms on
my person, Or in the cage. l gave up my
pistols, which were only loaded with pow
der, but as | could not have gone into the
cage without them Achmet returned them
to me. when his Majesty gave the order to

an official handed me a silk bag containing

A Remarkable Bouquet.


bouquet recently carried by the Prin-
cess of Wales was remarkable, 1t was COM
posed entirely OF large lilies tinted with the
most delicate blue and pink hues by the alb
sorption OF dyes through the stems. By
this process. which was discovered by Mr..
Nesbit, the well-known analyst while ex-
perimenting on the anatomy of flowers, very
beautiful results can he obtained without in
any way affecting the perfume or freshness.
Singular to say, flowers refuse to absorb
certain colors while they dispose of others
in different manners. If placed in a mixed
solution they make complete analysis, and
some of the lilies which had been treated
with purple showed distinct red veins and
blue veins, the coiors having been divided
in the process of absorption.

The Cereal Idea.


The vegetarian theory is slowly though
Imperceptibly gaining ground among small
and intelligent class. Like all new ideas, it
has necessarily been obliged to pass through
its era OF extreme and develop people who
starved themselves to death or came near so
doing. The tendency at present is not to
discard meat entirely or at once, but to re-
duce the daily quantity consumed. The
term vegetarian" seems in measure inap-
propriate. 1t should be rather the cereal
theory" since it is from grains OF all descrip-
tons that nutrinent is gained. The daily
bill OF fair at any of our restaurants shows a
great increase in the amount and variety of
vegetables and grain food consumed over
forty years ago.

MONSEIGNEUR CAPEL,
The Churchman Talks About the Conversion

Because Lord Butte happens to be a mar

why he should not have a soul to he saved.
His fortune is large, but that is no partcu-
lar benefit to the church, unless he chooses
to make it so. l also received into the
church Lord Courtenay, who will some day

young nobleman not only has no money but

was daughter of the late Countess of Lou

oPrIoN-DEALING BY THE CARD.
The Principle of the Faro-Box Applied to
Speculation in Wheat and Other Grains
Betting on Quotations.


Chicago News.
grain-speculating device has been in
vented by wel-known sporting man OF this
city that will astonish the natives and cause
a complete surprise 20 the dealers in options.
In fact it is very'iable to create panic on
Change and throw the bulls and bears into
a paralyzing fever of excitement. So quick
is the action of this new scheme for the specu-
lative person that "the market can be
changed in the twinkling of an eye, and the
operator who has put up margins on the rise
and fall of grain of any kind will know the
result instanter, and cannot be frozen out"
by any clique or corner" manipulators.
Owing to the mechanical arrange
ment of the device it is not
ali easy matter to clearly explain it; it must
be seen in operation to give the would-be
Spectator correct idea of its workings.
Two boxes, such as are used in faro, are
placed in case or frame, and in them is put
pack of white cards upon which are printed
in plain black letters the different kinds of
grain as wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye.
Immediately beneath the words are fraction
al figures from one-eighth to seven-eighths,
inclusive. The pack of cards. which con-
tains about fifty-two in number, after being
thoroughly shufiled, is placed in the upper
box, and, by means of two levers, the second
card below the first which has been exposed
to view is pushed down into the lower box,
a metal slide covering the face of the cards is
moved aside and the second and third cards
uppermost in the pack are presented and APP

A Plea for the Eagle.


The squirrel-hunter who stops this i'm.
peral bird in his fight is moved by no desire
to protect farmers crops or to repenish
his larder. The bird does no harm, and the
cook will not touch it. The slayer OF the
eagle thirsts for cheap notoriety, and is
shameless. Instead of pointing his misera-
bic shotgun at the monarch in the air, he
should get down on his knees and thank
God that his eyes have been suffered to see
this emblem of freedom, endowed with life,
soaring and circling above the soil OF free
country.

One of the Beauties of Trades Unionism.

New York Tribune.
Let women and men, all women and all
men, stand on the same callous. soulless,
brutal dead-level of unionism. Then what
appears? Only this, that the many who do
not devote their lives to others, if they can
not get just as much as they want for per-
sonal passions or pleasures, prefer to trample
upon and morally slaughter the few who do
devote their lives to Others To them it does
not matter whether the man has a sick wife
or hungry child, or whether the woman
has a helpless father or a failing moth
err; this beautiful "Brotherhood"
puts them on the same level with the man
who spends for cigars and drink as much as
another needs to keep a wife or child or
mother from want. He, being the majority,
votes for a strike, because he does not pre-
pose to go without his cigar and his drink
except for little time, and to force some
body to pay him more for his services. But
the man with wife and child, the woman
with helpless ones depending on her efforts,
what are they to do? Of course. if they do
not want to be called 'deserters" they must
strike also, and let sickness or starvation fall
where it will. That is trades unionism, and
a particularly beautiful and Christian-like
thing it is for this nineteenth century!
