THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE,
Fair Circassian Women Still Sold
to Supply Turkish Harems.

-
New York Sun.
Nine. Paschkoff, who has recently
visited the old city OF Sinop on the
northern coast of Asia Minor. found
there few wealthy Turks, the inmates
of whose household, she says,are beauti-
full women of Circassia. These favor
ties of the harem are attended not only
by black slaves of both sexes from the
Soudan. but also by older and less
comedy women from their own country.
All are slaves. bought for trade goods
or cash, the more fortunate among them
to live in luxury and idleneSs, and the
others TO perform the mental services o
the household.
In spite OF RuSSla'S repeated prohibit
ton of the white slave trade of Circas-
STA, it still seems to flourish. Some
years ago it was reported that
there was such glut in the CircasSian
slave girl market in Constantinople that
prices had fallen about three-fourths.
Nine. Paschkoff has given some atten-
ton to the means by which the supply
of white slaves is maintained.
The trade would probably cease en-
tirely were it not that it is the highest
ambition of many fair Circassian to
become an inmate of some luxurious
harem far away from her own land.
There is among the CircasSians, an un-
written law that no girl shall be sold
without her consent, and the fact is,
that many of them are eager to be sold,
and so their fathers do not hesitate
long to accept any tempting offer which
the agents FROM the slave marts may
make.
As Russian subjects CircassIan girls
have no trouble in journeying under
the escort of their purchasers to Ba-
toum. the Black Sea port of the eau
easus. Only one to three are taken
there at time by an agent, and. if need
be, they can assume to be members of
his family. In the harem of some i'm
pOrtant Mohammedam at Batoum the
destination of the girls is decided, and
in very small parties they are taken to
one or another market in the dominious
of Turkey. 1t has been part of the pol
icy of Russia to profess respect for
the usages of her Mohammedan sub
jectS. No surveillance worth mention
ing is maintained by Russia over the
thousands of harems among the Moham-
medanS of that vast empire. 1t is there
f IRE easy at Baloum 10 negotiate or the
purchase and sale OF these girls; and SO
long as the trade is quietly conducted
Russian officials seem to wink at viola
IationS of law of which they can not be
ignorant, ana thus the harems of Tur-
key are still supplied with their chief

AMONG The HORSES.
State Fair Managers Take a
Tip From the Jockey

It Will Include Trotting and

Whips and Tips.

The success of the inaugural meeting
Of the Twin City Jockey club is bearing
good fruit. Satisfied that racing is APP
preciated by Minnesotans, whose turf
education has heretofore been limited
to trotting events. the managers Of the
State Fair association have wisely de-
cided upon a diversified programme Of
racing during the state fair. By offer
Ing purses enough to satisfy any reason
able owner of racing stock the association
hopes to bring a large number Of run
ming horses to the state fair. These,
together with the magnificent trotterS,
young and old, owned in Minnesota, and
which are invariably the chief feature
of the state fair, will not only serve
as an educational adjunct of this year S
fair. but in the speed contests furnish
sport of a high order. Mlnnesotans
know a good thing in the line OF trot-
ting horses. and will be enabled to eX-
tend their knowledge of the running
turf by attending the state fair this
year. Racing is no longer an expert
ment in the Northwest. 1t has been
established on a firm basis. The Twin
City Jockey club will cooperate with
the state fair association in making the
race programme for the tair one OF I'M
doubted merit. This being the case the
success of the state fair races is already
assured.

During the shower the other day
man was passing up State street with
an umbrella over his head when a
stranger stepped out of doorway,
grasped the handle and said!
''I'ye been laying foryou for month!

'Ahl Exactly-I seeI" stammered
the other, and he surrendered it with
out protest or struggle and bolted for a
doorway. while the other walked off.
''WaS it stolen one?" queried man
who had witnessed the affair.
''Well-er-well, suppose l picked

He stood looking after the umbrella
for minute or two, a sad expression on

great oath and slapped his leg.

THE FAIRLAWN SALE.
Gen. Withers' Magnificent Stud to
Re Sold linden the Hammer

ne SUN OnlGr Gue II ANN
The great Fairlawn stud, established
at Lexington by the lamented Gen. W.
T. Withers, will pass under the hammer
about the middle of October. 1t was
hoped that the stations and brood mares
would be kept together, but the execu-
tors of the estate have decided differ
emily, and the intelligent breeding pub
lie will profit by the dispersal of the
great collection. Gen. Withers gave
fifteen years of earnest study to the
breeding question, and his conclusions
were shaped by rlpeneSs Of eX-
perience. He built up a great
reputation for fair dealing, aud
his business transactions extended
to every section of the country. His
son writes to US: mot a single colt did
the proprietor of Fairlawn train, and
not a single cent did he ever spend to
induce others to train the produce of
his stations. No other owner Of
prominent stallion ever compelled him
to carry such handicap, nevertheless
the equals of AlmOnt, Happy Medium
and Aberdeen can be counted on the
fingers of one hand. There is to-day as
much undeYeloped speed at Fairlawn as
was ever seen on one farm, and [ firmly
believe that of the $50 head to lie sold
125 could be put in the $50 list" Gen.
Withers bred for a fixed object, and the
result is a large per cent of natural

BENJAMIN Ar CHURCH.
How the President Spent the Sab
hath at Bar HarbOr.


BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug. 11.-Presi-
dent Harrison went to church at North
east Harbor this morning in company
with Secretary and Mrs. Blaine. Con-
gresham and Mrs. Lodge, Miss Harriet
Blaine, Walker Blaine and Private Sec
rotary Ha ford. The service was held
in the Episcopal chapel Of st. Mary 's-by-
the-Sea. a quaint little building about
twelve miles from Bar Harbor, with ac-
commodation for 500 or 400. Tie church
was crowded, and chairs were placed in
the perch. Bishop Doane, Of Albany,
who has a summer residence at that re-
sort, preached the sermon, which was
based upon the deliverance or The
ISraeliteS from Egypt, ard in which no
mention of politics or direct allusIon to
the guest of the day was made. After he
had begun it, the presidents party ar
rived, and were admitted by side door,
occupying two peWs which had been re-
served directly in front of the pulpit.
After the sermon there was the DOXOl-
ogy, the Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God
Almighty" and short prayer in which
the president, governors, counselorS
and others in authority were remem-
bered. The usual collection was
not forgotten. When the service was
over the president walked down the
center aisle, chatting with any one who
chose to speak. As he stood on the
green In front of the chapel. with 400 or
500 people surrounding him, he re-
sponded to personal greetings by nearly
all of them. He lunched at the resi-
denee of Mrs. Gardner, daughter Of
Bishop Doane. In the afternoon the
party drove back to Stanwood by the
ocean drive, stopping at Mr.. Palmer's
cottage for tea, where they met Seere-
tary Tracy, Mrs. Wilmerding, his daugh-
ter; Lieut.. and Mrs. Mason and COWleS.
The parties from the Despatch and these
officials and ladies, together with Con-
gresham and Mrs. Bouteiie and Mr..
and Mrs. Edmund Pendleton, were
among the diners at Mr.. Blaine's cot
tage later in the day. Monday the Els
worth trip will be made.

did so well that they were entered in a
number of stakes. Axtell was nomi-
mated for the three-year-old stake races
at keOkuk and DeS MOihes Aug. l. He
trotted mile in 2:311l on haIf-Inile
track at Keokuk. In Washington park,
Chicago, Aug. 20, AXtell made mile in
2:24$. At the state fair in Des Moines
last year he won the three-year-Old
stake. AfterWard he was sent TO Lex
ington to go for a record. He trotted
two heats there-one with break IN
2:27i4, and the second in 2:23. That
was the last trotting for 1888. and he
was out of harness for four months In
June last he trotted at Cedar Rapids in
the three-year-OldS and reduced his rec
ord TO 2:21$I. At Minneapolis after
wards he beat all tWO-year-Old and four
year-old records by going mile III 2:l577a.
AXtell is bay colt with star and
strip. He is fifteen hands three inches
high and weighs. when in condition,
about one thousand pounds. He wears
i've ounce shoes forward and four ounce
shoes behind and is driven with an
easy. flexible bit, an open bride and
Overcheck, which is not drawn tight, as
he naturally carries his head high.
AXtell is an animal not only of speed
but Of great intelligence. Ills forehead
is of unusual massiveness and his eyes
are wide apart, which hOrsemen know
indicates great resolution and force.
The points that show speed, says a
recent authority, are well developed in
the horse. The shoulders are oblique
and muscular, the forelegs well shaped
and set straight under the body. The
other features are the strongly coupled
back. the wonderful loins, the splendid
stiles and the fiat hind legs. The
hooks are defective, one being quite
uniformed with tendency to the curb
formation. In spite of this defect
the horse trotS with low, sweeping
stride that gets him along at a marvel
Gus rate. AXtell has an enormous ap-
petite, and consumes about eighteen
quarts of oats per day, and no amount
OF work seems to tire him. In answer
to a question as to the numerous large
offers he is reported to have received
for AxteI Mr.. Williams says: well.
those | have seen in the papers have
been in the main correct, but | have re-
ceived no offers from the principals, all
propositions to me having coming
through agents; and as [ have no
thought or idea of selling, | never

cause it is almost an impossibiIity to

rigid consider her justified in having
her bathing dress made either of gray,
white or violet serge. The fashion was
started by the pretty widow of O'DOn-
nell, of Baltimore, who was called upon
to mourn rich young husband, who
died after very brief union. This
occurred in the spring, and when
summer came the doctors insisted
that sea bathing was necessary as a cure
for her nervous relaxation. brought on
by mental suffering, and she appeared
shrouded in crepe. Then the question
arose concerning the bathing dress.
No one ever wore black bathing dresses
and the afflicted relict utterlylrefused to
appear anywhere even in the sea, ex-
cept in garments of the deepest sable.
There was a visible sensation when she
came down the beach one morning all
in black from top to toe, with her very
white arms and shoulders bare and
little black silk handkerchief tied Co
quettishly over her golden hair. Before
a week was oxer every man in the place
was occupied in securing an introduc-
ton TO that pathetic little black figure,
and the cheerful women in their light
colered gowns were nowhere at all.
Since that time widows all over the
country have adopted the fashion and
regulated it by fixed laws.
