were ushered In by the servant Wlthout
ceremony. When the blanket door was
pulled aside this time, there was
miniature race between the two pachss,
who trotted right up to the side OF the
SadraZam and sdtddn1ed in royal Turk
ish style. The salaaming ended, there
was desire on the part OF the two
zsm after true Mohammedan honor.
His Highness being dressed q la Frank,
was thus minus of the essential gown;
this, however, was made up by the
pachas trying to catch his coat tail.
The Sadrazam vigorously resented this
action for some cause, but the pachas
were the more persistent on their side,
so for q few minutes these royal per-
sonages had lively skirmish over the
COAT TAIL OF HIS HIeHNEss,
the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman En-
pire. 1t is only justice to the pachas
to mention that they triumphantly
succeeded in their aim. But how about
the less distinguished foreign visitors:
When quiet was restored the pachas
took a seat to condescendingly wait
until His Highness was disengaged.
There was painful look on the counte-
nance of the Sadrazsm as hellooked at
US and then unavoidably took quick
glance at the new Corners. We at once
saw the position. that it would hardly
be equity to keep the royal faithfuls
waiting while he conversed with gdiOurs,
SO we made our exit as graceful as we
could and found the first, the second.
the third and the fourth servants all
ready and waiting for the back sheesh."

But to return. as the novelist says, to
our first subject. There is probably
not anything that acts so forci5le in the
reform of government as the educa-
ton obtained in schools. Knowing that
in this lies the true essence of reform in
Turkey, as it has been in other soun-
tries, the writer has busted himself in
his spare time visiting the most
Noted INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING.
Osmanlls schools are virtually closed
to stranger, but Armenian. Greek and
foreign schools have been visited. In
the most of foreign, or mission schools,
bitter prejudice Was engendered by
knowing I was from Utah. Probably
the highest and best school here is the
Robert College; it is certainly the finest
we have had the pleasure to visit. 1t
was founded in 1868. by the munifcence
of Christopher 4. Robert, of New
York, and under the direction of Rev
Cyrus Hamlin, d. D. 1t was incorpor-
ated by the Legislature of the State of
New York, and is governed by board
of trustees residing there. An Trade
was granted by the Sultan here. for it's
establishment. The object of the COL
lege, as it sets forth, is to give TO its
students without distinction of race or
religion, thorough education, equal in
all respects to that obtained at first
class American college, and based upon
the same principles.
During our visit to the schools we
found students of nearly all nations
here in the east, and many Europeans;
the largest per cent. come from Bull
garia. which country acknowledges the
school as its
GROWING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
The school is doing an immense work
of reform in the Orient, and in CONVEX
sation with the vice-president of the
college, Professor Long, he whispered
that Right in this building is the
fountain bead of ali that has been
accomplished in Bulgaria" Look"
he said, Our list of graduates contains
the names of nearly all the most dis
tingulshed men of that government"
Its dissemination of American ideas is
undoubtedly vast force for the proper
dressing of these lands. Proud Amer
lea, her principles will ultim ateIy rule
the world! But to finish our visit at
the school. To one who has had a few
months alone among the simple
minded natives, as is the case with the
writer, q visit to the Robert College is
like dropping in on small America.
The language of the school is English
and most of the professors and instruc-
tors are right down Yankees. Some
had acquaintance in Salt Lake, and
questioned about Utah's interests in
hne, home-like style. After the school
hours, walk was enjoyed over the
historical grounds near the building.
escorted by Professor Henderson. The
location of the school is lovely quar-
ter on the Bosphorous, surrounded with
points of high historical interest, all
combine to give it a physical position
equalled by few, if any, other colleges
of the world.
From what one may see here in an
educational sense, it may be inferred
that these various local and foreign
institutions will lend an influence that
will shake the very foundations OF
tyranny in a few years. Give few
more American institutions free scope
and it will be sure 10 be such. 1T will
be American, you know"
