THEN ALL SAY TURKEY.
Formidable List of Candidates for
the Constantinople Mission.

From the Neao YORK World.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Tnere will be
lively contest tor the Turkish mission,
resigned by Mr.. Cox. A great many
statesmen throug hout the country still
embrace the delusiOn that the President
is bound to recognize them, together with
an animated crowd of hungry politicians,
who are demanding of the President that
he appoint this friend or that friend
for the purpose of adding strength to
their own political fortunes. Since
the day Mr.. Cox placed his resig-
nation in the hands Of the President
there has been a constant stream of tele-
grams and letters from all sections, from
Senators and Representatives, asking to
be heard in the interest of some constitu-
ent before the President makes up his
mind whom he will appoint. 1t is stated
that almost every State in the Union has
a candidate. The friends of Gen. Kelley,
of Virginia, have been most enthusiastic
and energetic and hardly day has passed
that the trains from Richmond have not
brought to the city delegations to wait
upon the President in keiley's behalf.
Gen. LaWt0n, of Georgia, Is also candi-
date for mission.
Gen. Lawton has written letter to the
Secretary OF State saying he would not
object TO going to COnstantlnople. Gen.
Young, present Consul General at ST.
Petersburg, who is now in this country,
is also candidate. Gen. Young's physi-
cIan says that it will not do for him to re-
turn to st. Petersburg, as the climate
there will kill him in six months, and
recommends that he ask to be transferred
to some other consular post or be given
ministerial position. Whether Gen.
Young is otherwise provided for, it is an
assured fact that he will not return to st.
Petersburg. His troubles there with the
late acting Consul General Swain also
rendered the post an unpleasant one.
1t IS Intimated by his friends that First
Assistant Secretary OF State Porter would
be willing to accept the mission, and it is
said the President would be glad to tender
it to him, but to this Secretary Bayard
seriously objects, as he does not want Mr..
Porter to leave the department.
1t is understood that Secretary Bayard
will favor the appointment of MIR. Kelley,
notwithstanding his present position on
the Egyptian Commission.
Pennsylvania Democrats think the
place should be given to ex-Gov. Curtin,
and petition will be presented the Presi-
dent to that effect. The name of Gen.
Sickles, OF New York. is also mentioned.
The names OF Col. BrOdhead, Of Missouri,
and Col. j. St0ddard Johnson. of Ken
lucky, are also on the list furnished the
President, but there is no particular
danger OF either of them being considered.
While there is a general campaign TO be
waged for the place, there is little posi-
bility of an appointment for some time,

REPUBLICAN CLOSING RALLY.
White Folks Warmed to Keep Out
OF the Coiorcd Mans Garden.

OA the GOtOrcd Mans Garden.
From The Jacksonville tFla.l Times Union.
The Republicans held meeting at
National Hall Saturday night, which was
rather SHINY attended, and was not
enthusiasm. There We're few old war
horses who would occasionally yell out:
eyes, Lord" ''Amenw NV -h.o.o.pv
etc., in response to some sayings of the
speakers.
T. q. Claiborne acted as chairman, and
the drst speaker was DR.. l.. W. w. Man
away, colored, who went for what he call
ed the "Morphidite" ticket with naked
hands. Alter dealing with this ticket and
urging his dusky hearers to vote the
straight Republican ticket, he turned his
attention to the new constitution, which
he favored for the reason, as he said, lit
breaksu up ringism and 5ossism, and leaves
1t in the hands of the people to select their
own rulers. The Governor of Florida"
he exclaimed, had more power under the
old constitution Than the Car OF Russia
has. Under the old constitution you elect
two offices, the Governor and constables,
the latter paying about SO per year,
While the Governor appoints the rest"
After explaining the numerous Dene-
hts TO accrue to the colored people by the
| adoption OF the new constitution he said
that one argument advanced against its
| adoption was that colored men could not
| marry white women. How many of you
! colored men want to marry white
women"' he asked. Cries from all over
the room, "None OBJ u.s. IL will say to
you white men present-and / see a num-
Der mere" continued the speaker, SIT you
will only stay out of my garden, God
knows will never trouble yours. But the
white men like our garden. You see, il
takes flowers of many c0lors to make ii
pretty bouquet, and the white men have
but one color in their garden, while we
have all cOlors, and that is the reason he
wants to get there. That arguments too
thin. Let the white men keep away from
our garden and we will let theirs alone"

Scandal in Americas.

Prom the A neficu6 (Gd.) Rec0T0eF.
There are few members of highly
respectable social class IN Americas
whose inner life would be as a revelation
to the community at large should it
ever be made public. Marital relations
are to some extent wholly ignored in
a few cases that nave come under
the supervision of the Renewed
observer. while in others, where con-
nubial ties do not exist, only certain
commandment, the number Of which we
will not give here has been, according to
all popular belief-brOken. | Will not go
into personalities, nor do | wish to reflect
directly upon anyone, though were | dis
posed to do 50 | could reveal facts that
would, tigurat!vely speaking, shake the
social centre of Americus TO the very
core.
1 would cite the case OF a certain
grave and sedate business man, the
''should boz happy possessOr OF a lovely
aud vivaoious wife, and one who no GOubt
makes his home an earthly paradise, but
who, nevertheless, is completely infat-
uated with another beautiful lady, and
who knows no law but hers. The good
wife, while thoroughly cognizant Of her
husbands mad infatuation for her rival,
can see no harm therein, or ii SO, has
tact enough to conceal her chagrin, and
instead of creating domestic disturb
ance heaps Goals OF fire upon her riVaPs
head by paying her the most devoted and
loving attention.
| would also 90 into details as regards
the infatuation OF another old citizen, even
older than the one above mentioned and
who is likewise married, who has fallen
madly In love with a blooming, though
somewhat cautious maiden, who fully
recognizes and 10 all appearances recip-
rocates the tender passion she has stirred
within mis- s'manly' breast. But for the
sake OF society WON'T do il just now, but
in the near future, should matters remain
as they are now, may be more explicit.
| would also dwell at some length on
the case of u gay and festive old widower,
who should know better than to act as be
does, and more especially when he should,
and no doubt is aware OF the fact that
close observers are on to his little game.
He should learn that in some
cases discretion is a virtue
worth possessing. and that a high
regard for the good name Of mis- lady love
should make him exercise 1t TO that ex'
tent at least. | could speak OF other cases
that are known of, embracing as they do
four or i've OF the ''elite" OF the city, but
trust that this will be sufficient hint 10
cause them TO mend their somewhat
Migrant ways, without making a further
exposure necessary.

VARIETY IN VANITY.
The Two Sexes Cleverly Compared to
the Detriment of the Men.
tChicago Herald.

"Talk about the vanity of women" said
Madison street halter, at is nothing COM
pared to that of men. My wife used to
keep a millinery store, and as | was hanging
around her shopa good deal | had oppor-
tunity to study the customers, IN whom |
took more interest than did In the stock
Well, women are not vain Not one woman
In fifty has any vanity about her personal
appearance. She has, what is better, sys-
tematic and business-like method OF max
ing herself look as well as possible. 1t is a
part OF her daily life to wear the things
which will become her, and in making selec-
tons she is earnest and practical and pa.
tient, even II not always artistic. She knows
her own face aud figure better than any
body else, and does not deceive herself
She knows what she can wear to advantage
and what she cannot. IL she is good look
ing she knows 1t, but does not become silly
In consequence. II plain she is aware OF
the fact, and instinctively and sensibly does
her best to make herself attractive by the
arts OF dress aud ornament Take women
by themselves, away from the other sex,
and there is no foolishness among them
concerning themselves. They are perfectly
frank with each other concerning their
figures and features, and assist each other
with admirable good humor. 1t is quite
different with men. For three years have
been In the hat business, and In that time
time have seen more genuine vanity than In
all my life before. Nine men out Of ten are
either vain or Indifferent.
The average man doesn't know what he
wants, and while you are showing him
goods he changes his mind half dozen
timts. 1t is no uncommon thing In my
! store for customer to stand forty times
| before the mirror each time with hat on
his head Sometimes he will take three or
four looks at one hat during the course of
his search.
In the matter of extravaganza, too, thu
women are not the only offenders. Men
will pay 50 to $l2 for silk hats or s. To 81
for round-crowned hats made by well
known manufacturer, whose name is sup
posed TO lead the local world Of hat fashions,
when they know very well that articles OF
identical merit in every particular can be
purchased at u saving Of from ~ to s. else
where. They do this simply because they
are vain enough to wish to be able to say
on occasion, that their nat Is from soand
so, the fashionable. | know men who's
incomes do not exceed $50 mouth whC
eXpend in year not less than $40 for hats
Few women spend larger sums.

A NOVEL SWISDLE.
Why New Books Can be Bought Cheap
at Secondhand Stores.

There Is some agitation In the second
hand book stores of this city over Il report
that New York detective is here looking
after swindler OF novel aud pecu-
liar kind. 1t seems that he had operated
In New York for some time and then came
on to the capital for pastures new. His
method, II is understood, Is as follows
Selecting from list OF the leading writers
OF the day the names Of those whom he
thinks most gullible on account OF their
vanity or unsuspecting minds, he writes
them nicely worded letters, in which he
announces that he is preparing an article
for one OF the magazines, reviewing their
works, and requesting that copies be sent
on for reference. Few authors would sus-
pect anl thing wrong, aud, as Il consequence,
the swindler receives sometimes com.
plete editions OF their WORKS. or course,
all the reviewing that Is done is to canine
into the market value Of the books aud
then carry them to Il secondhand book
store for sale after sOling them slightly
As he can afford to offer bargains he has
no trouble to getting cash for his goods,
and the bookseller can put them up In his
windows marked at notably low prices
Book buyers have been surprised greatly of
late at the low prices Of the work OF stand.
ard American writers here, and, although
| this swindler may not be accountable al.
| together, 1t seems that he has played part
in the reduction. 1t Is said that very
| large number of the leading writers In
| fiction, history, poetry, and science have
been taken In and that to avoid publicity
they have, until lately, declined to mention
| the matter to the police. 1t is doubtful,
moreover, If the swinder can be convicted
| of any crime even II he is captured. He
may acknowledge writing the letter, re-
cevlng the books, and selling them, hut how
can II be proven that he really did
not intend to write the magazine article, or
that II was not rejected after 1t had been
written or course there is moral Ger.
tainty that he has pursued Il swiudling bust.
ness, but ~ will be difficult to collect legal
proof. The swindle Is said to be an entirely
new one In this country aud can be worked
only by highly educated men, slnce the
letters TO each author must appeal to his
special sympathes ana must be wOrded toa
niCety to prevent suspicion The new husi
ness seems to he very profitable one, too
Besides the receipts from the sale Of books
the swlndler gets lot OF autograph letters
from which he can realize Il snug sum. Al
author, when appealed to In the way men
toned, seldom fails to send a letter with
the books, aud this letter, IN some cases
becomes merchantable commodity.
A secondhand dealer with whom a RE
PUBLICAN man talked yesterday said :"
havy heard some rumors of the swindle yol
mention, and have heard something abOu
a detective heing on the track Of tn
swindler but | know nothing definite abou
the matter. or course when we buy book
we cannot inquire where they come from
but must take them Mt their value. | al
willing To do all In my power to stop tn
swlndling."
