The sultan's German Confectioner.


One of the sultan's weaknesses is a
fondness for confectionery. and Il story
coming fresh from Constlntinople shows
that he does not spare any expense in
indulging it. "a short time ago
writes Il correspondent, "a German con
fectioner travelled from Moscow to Con-
stantinople in the hope OF securing a
situation. Being of an inquisitive turn
of mind he determined to get Il sight Of
the sultan, and so kept a lookout in like
ly places. All last the opportunity
came, and as the sultan was driven past
his German admirer vigorously saluted
him. Unaccustomed to such an exhibit
ton of %cordiality, M of the sultan's Of
ficers thought it best to inquire if it had
any. significance, and SO the German
was for the time taken possession of.
His explanation proving satisfactory and
| his innocence clear, and the avowal of
his arocation moreover, creating evident
interest, the man was dismissed with a
present and an injunction to trlrn up the
next day with clean skin and new
clothes. The result of the secondinter-
view was that the confectioner was set
to making pastry as a test of his powers
in that art, and his success was so com
plete that he was engaged right off at a
salary OF 500 p~iastcrs per month. But
better luck still awaited him. The pas.
try found its way to the sultan's table,
and his highness was SO pleased with il
that he made the stranger from Ger
many his confectioncr at once witt
1000 piasters a month for making tarts
AS both sides are pleased with the ar
rangcment made-the sultan with hi.
confectionery and the German with hi
pay-the outside world can have nothing

A Great Newspaper Enterprise.

Journalistic enterprise of the old
times, though not of much count be-
side the wonderful achievements of the
present day, was well worth Boosting
about anyway. For instance read
the following from The Louisville (Ky.)
Courier, of Friday, Dec. 10, 1847, under
the head of ''The Presidents Message"
This lengthy document, which we have
the pleasure of laying before u read
ers in the form of an extra, was deliver
ed at Washington at o o on Tuesday
last. 1t was carried to Philadelphia by
special railroad express, and from that
point it was dispatched to Louisville by
the magnetic telegraph expressly for
The Courier. Journal, and Democrat.
This is the greatest newspaper enter
prise eve attempted in any quarter OF
the world, and is one of the most won
derful feats eve accomplished by the aid
of mans genius. The enormous outlay
necessary to procure this document may
be judged from the fact that the regular
charge for telegraphing from Phila-
delphia to Louisville is 8 cents for every
word " ~. ne -a"

his did then.
There was another one in the ROOF
who was, if anything, worse than Croc-
ket about Violet, and that was Capt.
Graham, only she didn't run away from
him. l was sure that he wouldn't cut
the Crockett vermin out, and l was glad
of it.
Well, there's no necessity for telling
YOU all about the ball on Christmas
night, although it was a tip-top affair,
too. What l want to get to is the ivy

1t was two days after Christmas, and
l was crossing the hall when the library
door opened and Violet came out. To
look at her frightened me. Her face
was as white as death, her eyes looked
horrible with the pain and terror in them,
and she had her hand squeezed againsl
her heart.
'.Violet!' l cried.
She leaned her arm on my shoulder
and said with a kind Of Sob
.Oh. Toni"
Before she could say any more the
library door opened again and Crockett
came out. She gave one look and then
ran up stairs. He came up to mt rub
bing his hands together and grinning
like a Cheshire cat.

too angry, but turned and walked away.
What was up I. Of course. didn't know,
but | was sure he had been at some mis-

1t was a very unfortunate thing for
him next day, though, that l should
have gone into the library and fallen
asleep behind a screen-very unlucky
indeed for Mr.. Jasper Crocket.
/ had been snoozing for perhaps ar
hour when l was awakened by the sound

fire, and opposite him, holding on by

she was going to faint, was Violet.

Bother introductions," replied Bob.
See here, Tom, this is my sister Violet,
the ~iolliest little sister in the world.
vi, this is my best chum, Tom Linton.
I want you to be friends.
II am sure we SHALL" she said, as she
came up to me, and gave me her hand.
L was sure of it. too, and said so. To
tell the truth, ! fell in love with her on
the spot.
I'm not good at descriptions. but I'll
try to tell you what she was like. She
wasn't big-rather small than most wo-
men-but she was so well-formed and
graceful that one didn't think her so
little as she really was. Her face-wen,
I've said she was pretty, but if ! were to
sit here talking for a week couldn't
tell YOU how pretty. Her complexion
was clear pink and white, her features
delicate, her hair was of a golden color
her eyes were like her name. violet.
But what's the use of talkingp can't
describe her.
Well she took charge OF the tea
things, and my shyness were OIL after a
bit, and then we got as merry as grigs,
and had a splendid time of it. She
wasn't a bit stuck up, and could chati
with either of us. One thing i noticed,
and that was that she and Bob were aw-
fully fond of each other. I've seer
brothers and sisters loving enough, but
never anything like that. 1t did me good
to look ut them.
We had Just fairly commenced to the
spread when another knock came to the
door, and Bob shouted "Come in" with
his mouthful. The visitor came in-a

Tuesdays Collision ON the MetrOpOl
tan Branch.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
As noted with your usual promptness, in last
evenings STAR, a collision occurred yesterday
morning about 10 O'Clock in sight Of Knowles
station, between the Gaithersburg local and the
second section OF an as usual belated western ex-
press which consisted OF several cars The Gathers
burg train consisted OF passenger and baggage
car, the former being next the engine. The col
hston occurred without warning In deep cut
OF the road Fortunately there were but few pas
sengerS, and but one lady In the Gaithersburg
train. Immediately after the collision the car
Was filled with steam and Sprinkled with broken
glass, kerosene, and blood from the injured pas
sengerS, one or two of whom had their heads
pretty badly cut, many OF the seats being torn
from their fastenfngs.
Immediately after the collision two men in blue
overalls, supposed to be the engineer and fire.
man, rushed through the car, unheeding the
appeals of the lady, who, somewhat bruised,
escaped by jumping from the car with the aid OF q
gentleman. The conductor and brakeman were
both hurt, the former seriously. After some
delay the lady recovered her hat, cloak, UNI
car, and was compelled to walk two miles back to
Forest Glen, and returned to the city on a west
bound train, which had to return and go by the
main stem. The conductor OF this train was
careful to collect her rOund-trip ticket to Rock
Vile.
The collision is said to have occurred from the
failure OF the air. brakes the express which had
fortunately stopped at the moment OF the COLI
sion. The track was not cleared until late at
night, the evening passengers having to be trans
ferred around 1t. The incoming trains were also
more than an hour late this morning.
