induced her to bring suit for divorce. 1t is his
belief that he could have persuaded his wife to
return to him, had be been allowed to see her.

GEN. Lew WALLACES LECTURE.
The Points of the Generals Proposed Lecture
on Turkey and the Turks"

AS is known, Gen. Lew Wallace has about
completed his lecture on Turkey and the
Turks" and will deliver it in this city on the 7th
OF April next for the benefit of the Orphans
Home An historical lecture is not contemplated.
Only the briefest statement of the origin and
first appearance of the Turks will be INDUCED,
as necessary to telling who they are and whence
they came.
Referring to the drift of questions asked him
since his return home from official residence In
Constantnople, General Wallace viii select those
points of Ottoman personality which appear OF
greatest interest TO the greatest number OF his
countrymen and countrywomen. This drift,
General Wallace thinks, may be taken as the
best indication of what is wanted by them for
information and to crafty their curiosity. Thus,
after glance at the first advent of the tribe
and conquering race and at their progress from
from nomadic life in the interior of Asia Minor.
he will speak of their present residence, and IN
cidentally describe the Bosphorus, and Constan-
tinople, as it breaks upon the view of the trav-
eler approaching it from Varaa by way of the
Black sea.
The lecturer will then take up the lead
we are satisfied, will be a surprise to his
audiences, in the habit, as they have been, of
regarding the Turk as exactly the opposite OF
everything Christian.
From this General Wallace will treat of Abdul
Hamid, the present Sultan, and describe him,
and, in doing so, disabuse his hearers of many
of the unfavorable impressions respecting him
which they have derived from tourists, who
really know nothing of him, and from
his political enemies. chiefly Greeks
and Englishmen of the Gladstone
school AS incident to this branch of his sub
ject, General Wallace will give descriptions of
informal, AND of dinners given by his Majesty to
strangers.
Finally very considerable portion of the
time allotted to the lecture will be devoted to
polygamy as prevalent amongst the Turks. In
this part there will be, of course. glimpse of
life in the harem, furnishing the women of
America who are now so solictously inquiriDg
into their own condition as basis of insstance
upon education, suffrage and general political
equality, comparison both opportune and prof
table.
The points thus mentioned as in the lecturers
line of speech on the occasion cannot fail to
prove of the greatest interest we'll as most en-
Pertaining. All he will have to say will, in fact
have sanction and an acceptance with his hear
ers from the well-known cordiality OF relations
which existed between the Sultan and General
Wallace throughout the whole period of his term
as minister to Turkey and which, for that mat
ter, is yet existing between them. Certainly no
American has had the opportunities to study and
know the Turks that General Wallace has We
might even say as much of the most favored
foreigner. The Generals lecture will be waited
with the greatest interest

STILL UNDECIDED.
The Police Commissioners Indefinitely Post
pone Final Action on Lang's Case.

The Police Commissioners came to no decision
yesterday afternoon in regard to the Lang in
vestigation. They were in session nearly two
hours, but it is doubtful if any formal
vote was then had on his dismissal
or retention. eve talked with Mr..

dence was considered, but the matter virtually
remains as it did last night cannot tell when
we will reach a decision, but, of course it will
be within very few days"
1t is perhaps unjust to both sides to speculate
upon the result, but there is very strong opin-
ion among Superintendent Langs friends that
he will be relieved In the meantime Captain

agreed to do the service at the following rates
below the pool prices: For three-foot coffin,
and for collins five feet or more. Sc. Hedges is

MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE.
The Central Union Must Surrender Its Fran
chise if It Does Not Give Service to All.

The Council judiciary and special committee.
appointed to consider the proposed repeal of the
telephone company's franchise to the use Of
streets for poles and wires, met at Calvin Rock
er's Office yesterday afternoon. Mayor Denny
and City Attorney Taylor were there
also to take part in the conference
with the company's representatives. The
latter were Messrs. Wallick. Hockett and
Brownell. In the course of the informal discus
sion over the situation, and particularly IS re-
lates to the proposed removal of instruments
some emphatic expressions were made. How
ever, the warmth of interest on either side did
not become extreme. Mr.. Wallick stated that
the company meant to remove its instruments.
This is not threat but matter of earnest
purpose. Mr.. Brownell said that the question
of the laws constitutionality would no doubt be
carried to the United States Supreme Court.
''Then what is the use to quit" said Council
man Rocker. "You propose to remove your
service, and them if the decision is favorable to
you you will seek to re establish it."
1.-The company cannot continue the service
any longer than is just to the public without
great loss," was the reply.
In the meantime, pending decision, you
want to occupy the streets with your poles and
wires, and render no service to the people,"
I'VE have applications every day for telephone
service, but we cannot enter into any contracts
in view of the company's decision. There are
over fifty which have been on file for some time,
and there is danger of proceedings against the
company. One thing is evident, though, their
contracts cannot be taken at the rate fixed by
law"
The committees reply in brief was that tele-
phone service must be given to all alike, and,
with this in view, the company would not be
permitted to withdraw its service as suited its
pleasure. "You must cease entirely, not by
removing telephone here and another there, or
many at one time and so many at another"
the sense of the committee. IF the re-
moval by installments is persisted in to fulfill
contracts made under the SIS rate, the committee
will recommend to Council an immediate repeal
of your franchise.
The conference resulted in nothing more than
this. but it was agreed to have another interview
with the company's representatives before any
definite action is taken. This second meeting
will occur next Saturday.

1t is delightful way to pass the long
winter evening, when the children are
old enough for it, for the family to take
up the plays of Shakespeare, assigning
the various parts to different members
of the family. If your own circle is
not sufficiently large cali in your neigh
bors. Let the young people be made to
read correctly, intelligently, and well;
thus you are able TO accomplish several
things. An ease of manner in reading
is acquired, correct ear, knowledge
of the best use of words, and naturally
follows a lov@of the highest literature.
Then when it becomes possible for the
children to see some one of these famil-
lar plays on the stage, take them your
selves. Thus they will easily see that
the theatre is to you place where some
thing good may be seen and heard;
possibly you may be able to form so
correct taste in early life as TO preclude
all desire for inferior actors and plays.
Set your intellectual standard high and
try to kecpyourselves in sympathy with
the children in every way, and they will
have no desire TO conceal anything; the
book, the amusement. the friend will be
all the more ENJOYABLE because of the
presence of the father and mother into
their timer life.
