Marriages with slaves are legal, and the wives
of the Sultan must by law be slaves. The
harems of COns.antinOple are largely filed
with slave girls, and though the open slave
market has been done away with, the buying
and selling of slave girls still goes on. Female
slaves are brought here from Africa and from
Georgia and Cireassia, and a plump, fair
skinned, bright-eyed red headed girl is worth
the price of half dozen white horses am
told that the Circassian girls are very anxious
to go to ConstantinOple, and that they consider
1t good fortune to be sold out Of the hardships
by which they are sure to be surrounded in
their own country. They are often bought very
young, and are educated by slave dealers for
wives. Girls who can play on the either or other
musical instruments, and who have a smatter-
ing Of learning, will bring much more than the
ordinary ignorant girl, and blonde girls are
worth more than brunets. Sometimes as high
as 5000 is given for Circassian belle, but an
ordinarily good looking girl Of II or 13 is worth
5000 and upwards. / am told that more than
half Of the marriages in Turkey are made with
slaves, and the children of slaves are legiti-
mate.

The National tribune., 1889-09-19

The Turks are very fond Of children, and
they treat their children very well. They
educate the boys, and the girls would receive
better educations were it not for these early
marriages. The Superintendent of a large
girls seminary in the Asiatc part OF Constau-
tinople tells me that this is the chief obstacle
TO woman's education in Turkey. She says
that the Mahometan girls schools arc improv-
ing, and she had under her charge one girl who
refused marriage number OF times because she
wished for an education. Some of the ladies OF
the harems of Turkey, though not many, talk
French, and the children OF the Sultan have n
school in the palace. The Sultan's barem is
the largest in Turkey. IL consists of hundreds
of slaves, the most beautiful that can be pro-
cured. and the selection of these is made by the
mother Of the Sultan. The Sultan is the only
man in Turkey who has the right 10 enter an
others harem, and any woman in Turkey must
take oil her vail if he asks her 10 do so. The
leading officials of the Turkish Government
have large houses in ConstantinOple, and the
harems Of most OF them have numerous in
mates. It is the same with the wealthier Of
the Mahometan merchants, aud with the other
rich Turks who live here. Ismail Pasha. after
bis dethronement as Khedive Of Egypt, took
his large female establishment with him to An
estate which be bought or rented near Naples
A young Neapolitan, however. began to hiTt
with and finally ran away with one Of his IA
voFite wives, and Ismail has since moved 10
Constantinople. He has big palace here, and
he has the advantage of being able, in case any
of his wives prove unfaithful, To quietly put
them out of the way without any leading ques-
tiOns being asked

by the Judge. The marriage contract is usu-
ally put into writing, and this is the same with
betrothals.
The National tribune., 1889-09-19

The wedding ceremonies usually last about
a week, and the maiden comes to the house OF
her husband To be married. She is supposed to
bring trousseau with her, and this consists of
n good lot of clothes and underclothes, of linen
aud bedding, OF copper kitchen utensils aud of
the Turkish furniture for couple of rooms
The furniture of Turkish house is not very
elaborate Tho family usually sleeps upon the
floor, and a set of bedding consists of two mat
tresses, two quilts and three cotton holsters
The family cat largely upon trays, and the
Turks believe that fingers are a good deal
cleaner than knives and forks. Weddings are
very expensive. Large amounts of money are
given away TO beggars, and wedding gowns
cost $500 and upwards. The feasting goes on
at the houses of both bridegroom aud bride,
aud the wedding feast usually begins on Mon
day. On Tuesday the bride is taken to the
bath, and the bridegroom pays the expenses of
this operation. On Wednesday the bride
groom's lady friends go TO tho house of the
bride, where they have a concert and feast AT
this time the hands of the bride are stained
with henna aud they begin to deck her out for
the wedding. On Thursday tho bride is taken
TO the groom's house in great procession
She Is met by the groom, and the two eat
candy together after the manner of the ex-
change OF gum or wax of girls in tho primary
schools. The idea ia that nothing but sweet
ness is hereafter to pass from the lips of one To
the other. The bridegroom has not seen the
bride until this time. At the time of the be-
trothal the mother of the groom takes pres
ent OF candy to the bride The blushing
maiden bites one of the choicest bits in two,
eats half of it, and sends the other half back to
her prospective husband. He is supposed to
receive it with joy as n love-otfering, and to
eat it, smackng his lips, and saying "Yum,
YUM" Weddings usually take place in the
afternoon. The bridegroom says a prayer in
the presence OF the BRIDE and no kneels on her
bridal vail he does SO. The groom has to
get the bride to speak before supper will be
served, and it is matter of pride with her to
keep silent as long as possible.
The Turkish law is very rigid as to the mar
riage of relations. A man cannot marry his
mother nor his grandmother, his sister nor his
cousin, and the prohibition extends to foster
sisters and brothers as we'll as to real ones.
Children nursed by the same woman cannot be
married. Fathers cannot marry children
nursed by the women who have nursed their
children, and Mahometan women cannot marry
infdels Mahometan man, however, may
marry woman of any belief, and many of
these wives of the Turks are Armenians, Chris

She has to leave the house. and the law will
hold the divorce legal. He can take her back
again if she will and he can repeat this pro-
ceeding twice. This method of divorce Is so
easy that "a husband OTTER divorces his wife in
fit of anger. AS soon DIS no cools off he be-
seeches her return. II, however, she ia sent
away the third time she must be married again
to some other man before he can retake her to
wife. and this leads TO a sort of husbands by
proxy. The husband contracts with some old
man for "a hundred dollars or so TO marry his
wife and to divorce her the next day. He is
not supposed to have intimate relations with
her, and the woman is a party to the agree
ment. Now and then, however, the old man
plays false and refuses TO divorce the young
girl whom he has gotten in this way, and in
such cases there is no help, and the proxy mar
riage holds good.

Alaen1c Honorable.

In reporting the little episode of
MIR. and Mrs. Wright on the Fourth,
we gave it just rs we got it and think
ing our information perfectly reliable
we did not call upon the actors in the
baptismal rites But when the paper
came out we soon found out our mis-
take and that we had done Mrs.
Wright wrong in giving the public
to understand that She didn't know
any better than to step on the side Of
a row boat when getting in or out Of
the same. She did not do anything of
the kind but stepped into the boat all
right enough, but having done SO,
slipped and fell, and Mr. Wright in
trying to save her lest his balance
with the rocking Of the boat and both
went out into the water. The boat
did not tip entirely over and the little
one was not thrown out of the boat at
all. We gladly make the correction in
justice TO Mrs. Wright

Our friend Charley Anderson, of
Hawthorn, is III hard luck for a fact.
About two years ago he kept a little
country store out there and lost all he
had in it together with all of his
household effects, by fire, and then
came pretty near being cheated out of
his insurance. But he is an energetic,
pushing fellow and he had outgrown
that disaster, built him new home
and got things fixed up comfortable
once more On the fourth inst he
took his family and in company with
some nGighDOrS he went away to a
little nejghbOrho0d picnic and celebra-
ton, when he returned at about three
o'clock on the morning OF the fifth, it
was to find his home q smOulderlng
heap Of ashes and with not a thing
left him but the clothes they had on.
The neighbors say they saw light in
the house during the evening and sup
posed the family had returned so
thought no more about it until the fire
took place. Whether it was an acct
dent or whether it was set on fire by
some tramp or unauthorized visitor at
the house is not known. bir. Ander-

Another Strike.

When the old rink was torn down to
make room for the hospital the con
tractor employed about dozen boys
ranging III age from 10 to - years to
draw all the nails and pile up the
boards, etc. The boys worked along
all right for day or two when the
spirit Of avarice and discomfort en-
tered their bosoms, and higher wages
was demanned, this being refused, a
strike was ordered and all but one quit
work. This one, Walter Whipple we
believe, was satisfied and advocated
keeping at work but for a time he
Was not allowed to do so. There couid
be but one result in the premises, and
the whole crowd was bounced except
Walter Whipple who was retained.

OsE HOSPITAL.
= "Long Felt .an.n 90 De Supplied.


Fer long time Superior has felt the
need of good hospital accommodations.
In city like this there are many who
have nc home Of their own, but work
and board or lodge themselves i'll a
room or two, and when accident or
sickness oyertakes them their lot is a
hard one indeed. Then there are the
woodsmen who don't have even these
curtailed comforts, but when sick or
injured are brought to town and are
Literally without a place to lay their
heads. Many of these haye died and
suffered unnecessarily largely for the
proper care and treatment which it
was impossible to provide for them
here, while others have been taken to
towns where hospital accommodations
could be had
The question of how to get such an
institution started in Superior has
been under discussion for a long time,
but no way seemed opon for it until
recently. Not long since the Sisters
of the st. Joseph Society, who make it
their business to go about doing good
and establishing hospitals, visited our
city and saw the need of a hospital
here, This discovery was soon fol
lowed by visit from their proper
committee to secure grounds, submit
plans, etc. Mr.. James Bardon at once
donated four lots adjoining the corner
at StinSon avenue and Third street,
the corner lot was then purchased
and to these viii be added one or two
more, soon to be controlled by the
Land Company. The plans which call
for brick yeneered building 100 feet
on Third street and IS feet ON StinsOn
avenue, a basement and two and a half
stories above ground, with wing
20N45, was submitted for inspection
and approved. The contract for the
erection of the house was let last
Saturday morning to Burrows Bros,
contractors and builders of Ashland,
Wis, and on Monday morning the
work OF pulling down the old rink,
which has occupied the ground, was
begun, and now that old eye-sore is
numbered among the things that were.
The building win be pushed to com
pletion as fast as possible, and will be
an imposing structure though plain in
its outer adornments, and Will cost
not less than SEQ, 900, not including the
grounds. While it is the property of
the st. Joseph Society, the hospital is
III no sense a secrtarian institution,
but its doors viii be open to all, the
high and the low, the rich and the
poor. If you are able to pay for what
you get you are expected to do 50, if
you are not able to pay then you get
cared for with money ana without
prce.' 1t is a grand institution and
we welcome its advent to our city
with joy.
