ruinors that he had gone insane, and he
was quietly hustled oil to Tcherigan and
Kept close prisoner there. Some say he

OF the letter, from which an extract is
made, managed to see Murad, and writes
that he 10 as sane as he ever was, and

Abdul Hamid has six children, four
boys and two girls. though there have
been many more than that, but from
some occult cause the most of the sultans
children die young.
The death of Abdul Hamit will not
make any material difference in the po-
lltical position of Turkey, if Murad reigns
III his stead, for while Abdul Hamit gov
elns by timidity, Murat will by mildness
and in a progressive spirit aided by full
understanding of the lessons which the
history of nations affords
Abdul Hamit has never cared for study.

caprlces and passions, and he has never

SO far has been an INDECENT one, intended
mostly to make the best of a bad condition
Of things in general, and to protect the
life OF the sacred person of the sultan.
Abdul Hamit is a thorough Turk, with
all the characteristics OF his race. He is
now thin. pale and wan and his express

covered with stiff gold embroidery and

WHO WOULD BE A SULTAN?

He Lives in Constant Fear from without,

seif-An Insight Into the Turkish Royal
Family.
Death has been busy during the past
year with eminent personages, and if the
news contained in private letter from a
member of the royal household Of Turkey
to one in this country IS true it cannot be
many months before the present sultan
Of Turkey, Abdul Hamit, will be added
to their number.
Tho letter states that Sultan Hamit is
n very sick man, with pulmonary CON
sumption, which is certainly not heredi-
tary, and that he cannot sleep through his
suherings and the fact that lie is prey
to constant anxiety and fear, which
causes him to make o virtual prisoner Of
himself at Yildiz kiosk

try houses, but there is none approaching

utd ride from Dolma Bagtchee, but
which Is on hill, and the approaches
can be constantly scanned, and no one
can come toward it without being seen
Here the buildings are mostly of wood and
not nearly so safe but the sultan feels
secure because he knows no one can an
proaeh without being seen, and therefore
cut down before they reach his most sa-
cred person But these precautions can
not, after all, preserve his life from dis
case nor prevent treason in his personal
attendants, and he is therefore a miser-
able man, always expecting open revolt or
secret assassination.
Abdul Hanit, or. as it is usually
written, Abdul Hamid, was born
Sept. %, 1912, and is about 4e
years Of age. lie is the son of the good
and amiable Abdul Medjid, and is the
thirty.fourth ruler of the Ottoman nation.
He has five brothers living, and was the
brother Of Abdul Aziz, who was put to
death at Teherigan Yalasee.
Tho law of succession in Turkey is that
the brothers Of a sovereign shall reign
one after the other as long as any live,
and when all the brothers are dead the
eldest son of the eldest brother shall
reign; then his brothers after him until
they are all dead, and so on through the
list. the sons of tho eldest brother always
taking the precedence.
The present gaigning family were the
sons of Abdul Medjid, and Abdul Agig
was the first, Murat the second. Hamit
the third and Mehemct Reshad the fourth.
There are others still younger
The mother of Abdul Mediid was a
slave. The mother of the present sultan
IS never mentioned, and no one knows
who she is exactly, but sultans mothers
are called Nalide Sultan. or sultan's
mother. Therefore Murat is the right full
heir and the present sultan only holds
his position through unjust usurpation
on the ground that Murat is mentally in
capacitated
1t was his Vaccinations toward having
the law Of succession changed so that his
eldest son could reign, instead Of his
brother, which caused the assassination
of Abdul Aziz. He was in one sense
hardly to blame, for the position Of posi-
bic heir TO the throne is n very difficult
and dangerous one. Until be is upon the
throne he is regarded as an intriguer and
q dangerous enemy, and has heretofore
been a virtual il not actual prisoner. and
while his bodily needs are supplied no
liberty Of action is allowed for fear that
the people will learn to love him, and so
overthrow the reigning sultan The
brother Of the sultan is simply eifendi, or
sir, or mister, until he becomes abdul.
which means sultan. Murat suffered
greatly during the reign of Abdul Aziz,
and passed nearly half his time shut in
cafass, on cage, and Yves deprived even of
permission to visit his family. Murat,
who is now confined at Tcherigan palace,
was, as simple ''effendi. greatly loved
BY all who knew him He always loved
study, which few Turkish princes do,
and he is very fond Of music and the
sciences. He plays well on tho flute and
piano, and has even set to music very

to Make Merry in FatherIand style.
READING, Pa, Sept. 3.-Some . 800
Philadelphians arrived here to-day and
participated in the volksfest Mrs
Louise Geibel, president of the Philadel-
PIMA Woman's Anti-Temperance Society
made stirring address against the
Quaker City officials for fanatic
ism. Mrs Geibel is lady Of
commanding presence and was surrounded
by nearly 500 ladies', all of whom are
members of the Women's Anti-Suffrage
Society. They had heard the address Of
dottried heobler, president of the Phila-
delphia Canstatter, who pointedly re
lerred to the fact that the Germans of
Philadelphia could not celebrate their
harvest homes in the alleged free city
OF Philadelphia because their park had
been refused a license, and that they
were therefore compelled to come fftv-six
miles to have their celebrations like in
the Fatherland
Mrs Geibel then followed. She said
she had no special fault to find with any
of Americas license laws. but She con
demned the Withholding of the license
from the parks of the German people Of
Philadelphia, parks that were ALWAYS con
Quoted in most orderly manner. These
parks enabled the Germans to
come together and celebrate the
festivals Of the fatherland but
their licenses for the sale Of
of harmless beer had been denied. and
the German people were most uniustly
Disseminated against. Philadelphia has
no such place for the German people to
come together, and it won't have as long
as there are in power such men as Filter.
