AN EMPRESS IN THE HAREM.

BERLIN, Nov. 3.-The Empress has
taken a peep at the harem of the
Sultan, and had a chat with the
seven recognized wives Of the Sub
lime Porte. The several dozen Of
left handed wives in the Sultan's
harem were excluded from the inter
view. The incidents of this visit,
when they are given out, will be
read with great interest.
The daughter of the Turkish Min
lister at Rome and the daughter of
Mushir Astin Pasha, both of whom
speak French, attended the En-
press. A gorgeous kaix, propelled
by ten oarsmen, conveyed her to the
entrance to the harem gardens. The
walls of the cabins of the kaix are
covered mirrors. The furniture is
finished in blue velvet and gold.
The oarsmen wore garments of
white silk with gold embroideries.
The Sultan, attended by Kisla-
raga, chief the eunuchs, received the
Empress on disembarking and con-
Quoted her to the entrance to the
Seraglio, where he left her after in
PRODUCING his mother, the Sultana
Vallde. The seven recognized wives
of the Sultan, all mothers of princes,
attended by Godalisque suites, re-
ceived the Empress in the grand
saloon. The other women of the
harem were excluded. The visit
lasted three hours. A musical enter
tainment was given, during which
coffee was served. The Empress

and grounds.
At the banquet Empress Augusta

The Concert at KNOXVILLE.

The musical concert by Prof. j. $.
Renner and his classes from Union
vile. Moler's Cross Roads and Browns
Crossing, held at Unionville on Tues
day evening, was a most interesting
affair. and the church was crowded
from one end to the other by an ap-
preciative audience. There were
number of full choruses, rendered pref
ty near perfectly by the three classes
together, then choruses by each class
separately, with trios, duets and solos
interpreted throughout the pro-
gramme. To mention one singer more
favorably than another would be an
invidious distinction, for all did re-
markedly well. Among those who
sang solos or obligato solos were Miss
Irene Kephart, Miss Fannie Licklider,
Miss Bessie Brantner, Miss Jennie
Knott, Miss Annie Bell, Miss Annie
Moler, Miss Mary g. Moler. One OF
the features Of the entertainment was
q contest DetWech tllc lhi 90 SioSoSS
each singing the same piece. Three
judges were appointed, who rendered
q decision that the Unionville class
did the best singing and carried OIL
the honors; it was hard matter to
decide, however. Prof. Renner had
great credit reflected upon him by the
excellence of the performance, and the
fact was self-evident that he is an ex-
cellent music teacher.
The same classes will give another
concert next Wednesday evening at
I o'clock at Unionville, for the beneht
of the church. A number OF new
pieces will be sung, and there will be
another contest between the classes
ten from each class to sing an anthem
with obligato solo and duet and full
chorus. Admission 10 cents, children
10 cents.

The Last of the John Brown Raiders

The Last of the John Brown HdioerS.
Owen Brown, the last survivor OF
the Harper's Ferry affair, died near
Pasadena, California, last week. The
dead man had for a number of years
passed the life of hermit OH re-
Mountains, known as Brow Peak. He
was seventy-four years old at the time
of his death. He was one of the four
sons OF John Brown who went from
Ohio in 1854 to Kansas. They went
unarmed and settled near Ossawatto-
mie, but, because of their strong anti
slavery opinions, they were harrassed,
plundered and threatened by maraud
ing bands of pro-slavery men from
Missouri. They finally asked their
father to bring them a supply of arms
and ammunition He did so, and for
nearly two years he and his sons were
engaged in the rough border warfare
between the pro-slavery men OF Mis-
souri, and the anti-.lavery men of Kan
sas. One of his sons was killed at Os-
sawattomie. Later came the Harper's
Ferry affair, in 1859, in which two of
his sons were killed. When John
Browns provisional Constitution
and Ordinances for the People Of the
United States" were adopted by his
little convention at Chatham, Canada
West, 1853, Owen Brown was made
treasurer

Messrs. Edward Rutledge, Clinton
Grove, and j. S. Kausler, of Hagers-
town, approached the altar TO the
strains of Mendelssohn's march, skill
fully rendered by Mr.. Frank Cook,
of Hagerstown, where Rev. Charles
Trump soon pronounced the ceremony
that united their love and interests
for good or bad" through life. The
bride wore neat-fitting and very
pretty hunters green robe, embroi-
dersd, and the groom wore the con-
ventional broadcloth. The church
was packed with friends from here
and a host from distance. Miss
Clara. who has been considered one
Of our most quiet and sensible young
ladies, was opposed to all ostentation,
preferring to have quiet and plain
wedding. The couple took the 3
o'clock train, on the c. V. r. r., for
their future home in Hagerstown.
The presents, about $50, were hand
some and costly, far beyond those

Our Free Schools.

Uur ffee oCD0ofS.
State Superintendent Of FreeSchoois
B. s. Morgan, has submitted his re-
port to the Governor. The sumnia'
ries and comparisons accompanying
the report exhibit a condition OF
growth and increased interest In free
schools and steady public sentiment
supporting and maintaining all prop
er efforts at improvement.
The enumeration of youth for 1887
between the ages of six and twenty
one was 249, 17S. In 1888 the enumer-
alton between the same ages was
258, 800, an increase Of 1882 Inc
total enrolment for the year 1887 was
179, 5O7, and in 1888, 1879, PSI, represent
ing an increase of 9,744. When the
fact is considered that the total emu
meration for the year increased only
1852. this phenomenal growth in en-
rollment indicates a highly crafty
ing condition of affairs. A still more
healthy sign is the fact that In the
same time the average daily attend
ance increased IS, 1877, nearly twice the
increase in enumeration.
The growth in other departments
of school work has been equally as
marked. In 1887 the number OF
schools of all grades was 1908, and
the number Of school houses was
4.46j. OF the former there has been
an increase of 216, and of the latter
1O2. There are now 5,23S teachers
employed in the State, 149 more than
ever before, while the average length
OF the school term is five months and
two days, against four months and
and nineteen days in 1887. The aver
age monthly remuneration OF teach
ers has increased from S131. so to S133,
the<ame salary being paid both males
and females for the same grade of
work, and the total amount expended
for school work increased from 81, 0S7,-
GA 40, to 1920, 1891. OF these
amounts $3.50, 42l.s7 was distributed
from the Distribute BILE school fund in
1888. and 1877, 327.3S in 1887, leaving
1865. 800. so and S69s, 1928 as the
amount disbursed from local levies
respectively for each of those years.
The report then urges the prompt
and regular payment of teachers
wages as an inducement TO qualified
teachers TO enter and remain in the
work. The teachers order for salary
is not placed on equal footing with
an order on the county treasury,
which the Sheriff is required TO en-
dorse. This should be remedied
The teachers order should be made
imperative, and the rate of interest
from the time they are presented
should be payable out Of the Sheriff S
commissions.
In regard TO a course Of study for
ungraded schools, the Superintendent
saws: Il recommend that the school
law be so amended that the State
Board of Examiners be required to
prepare a manual and graded course
Of study which shall be printed and
distributed by the department."

Lhs chesapsnks and Ohio Canal.

President Stephen Gambrill's report
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
made at the meeting last Thursday,
states that the total accrued revenue
for the year 1888 was S129, 460.o7. The
total expenditures were S126, 769.97,
making the revenue over all debts
contracted S2,699.90 showing for the
first time since 1888 the earnings to
have exceeded expenditures. The
tonnage for 1888 exceeded the tonnage
for 1887 by S,125 tons. The canal has
been maintained in good condition
throughout its entire length and very
few repairs are needed. The report
states that there is not much danger
OF the canal being sold under the re
pair bond. OF 1878, because the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad holds the
bulk of these bonds. The report OPP
poses the shutting up OF part of the
canal and advises the disposition of
the whole OF it in preference to leas-
ing a part Of it and maintaining a
part. The meeting adjourned to meet
on the first Monday in June next,
when the officers will be elected. The
report shows very plainly the preca-
rious lease on life the canal has. 1t
has eco, 900 coupons overdue and when
S45, 900 was due the majority of the
bondholders could have foreclosed
and sold the canal. Its strongest rival,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, holds the majority Of the
bonds and is able at any moment to
close in its hold on its competitor.
To meet the $50, 900, the company has
about $4,000.
