WILKEsBARRE, May 25, 1Ss9.-The local
Atlantic Association Club arrived home
yesterday from its New England tour, ac-
~companied by the leaders. In the game
which followed the Jersey City team had
everything its W way, outplaying the
local team at every point, and virtually
winning the victory in the first two in
nings. The Wilkesbarres only tailed
twice, being unable to do much with the
stick against Daley's twirling. They put
up a good fielding game. while the visitors
would have played without an error but
for q m~ischance by Snapper Lang.
Daley lined out the bah for a circuit of
the bases and Gerhardt got in a good
drive on Roach's pitching for two bags.
O,Brien and Landman both made a couple
of neat singles, which contributed toward
the earning of runs, After the third heat
Jersey City did not score. The outfield
play was brilliant on both sides. Jersey
City is confident of winning again today.

The remains of William G. Smith, the
produce merchant, who committed suicide
by taking cyanide of potassium, were
viewed by a number of people at his resi-
dence, No. 5 Hoboken street, West Hobo
ken, last evening.
Mr.. Smith was one OF the oldest resi-
dents of West Hoboken. He was genial
and open hearted, and those with whom
he was most intimate can hardly believe
that one of such a cheerful disposition
could take his own life. His son, q Ne
braska farmer, had induced him to en-
dorse a note of the Brooklyn Stock Ranch.
at Stanton, in that State, for $500, and
the fear that the company would not take
up the note when it came due is supposed
to have been the principal of his
suicide.
Some days ago Mr.. Smith received a let
ter from his son telling him that there
was no danger Of the note being protested.

Leaving all their romping joys,

THE TURKISH CAPITAL.

It Presents Moro the Appearance of q Huge
Camp Than Great City.
Although more than four hundred
years have elapsed since the Turks
planted their victorious banners upon
the walls of Constantinople they have
never felt perfectly sure of its posses
sion permanently. The city at this
day presents more tha appearance of
a gigantic camp than great capital.
The Turks have always lived in this
state of Insecurity, feeling that, at any
moment. they might be driven from
Constantinople back to Broussa, the
ancient capital of the Moslem en-
pire. The Sultan and his Ministers
live in Oriental luxury and magnifi-
cence; the people live in Oriental
squalor and misery. Abdul Hamid,
the reigning Sultan, is in the prime of
life, being only forty years old. He is
of the medium height, and rather
slender for a Turk; his hair and eyes
are dark, his complexion swarthy,
and he has a decidedly prominent
nose. He wears a full, black beard,
and although not a handsome man,
from the American point of view, he
has more intelligent expression than
is usual among Oriental people. He
is a man of progress, but has been
thwarted in making reforms and i'm
provements which he knows are abso-
lutely necessary for the future welfare
of Turkey. 1t is the interests of the
Ministers to maintain q conservative
policy. and to oppose all progress. all
change, all reform. But Abdul Hamid
has been gradually getting entire con-
troll of the Government. and in the
course of time, If he is not cut off by
assassination. he will adopt a line Of
policy in accordance with the spirit
of the age Nothing has 50 astonished
him as the wonderful progress Of the
United States in wealth and popula-
ton in so short q time, and knowing
that much of our prosperity is due to
the steaus-engine, he is anxious to in
troduce into Turkey a system of rail-
roads In order to develop the material
interests Of the country.-Eugene L
Didier. in ChautauQuan.
