Rev. X. ii. Basmallan, q converted
Turk, of Adrianople preached ON Mo.
hammedanism in the Bethel church
last Sunday evening and gave many
interesting facts concerning it. Moham-
medans believe Mahomet was prophet
sent from heaven and he has two hun
drsd million believers now. Moham-
mechanism has converted many heath
en- nations from idOlatry and made
them more a%pproachable and easier
converted to Christianity. A man can
be a murderer, thief or drunkard and
be a good Mohainmedan. The Moham-
medans are very temperate and he felt
greatly astonlshed that Christian
Pennsylvania should vote in favor of
liquor.
On Thursday evening he lectured in
the same church to a small audience on
Turkish customs. His little girl and
boy were present and helped him sing
in four languages. Armenian, Turkish,
Greek and English. His wife read a
paper OH the characteristics and Gus
toms of Turkish women.
He spoke on the mode of government,
customs of living and worship of the
Turks and compared them with u
government and of living. The
Sultan of Turkey gets ten million dol
lars salary, has 100 wives and 1900 SER
wants to wait Oh them.
Mr.. Basmajian dressed in a Turkish
costume, of red cap, striped white and
red shirt, large red girdle, short blue
Jacket, and blue breeclles with u broad
seat which was made 50 they can sit
down cross legged, al they have no
seats in their mosques. They have no
pockets and carry everything in the
large girdle. Coffee drinkers would
have their appetite checked in Turkey.
He showed their coffee pot which held
about a pint and would serve sixteen,
as the cups would not hold Il wine glass
full, and it was considered bad man
ners to ask for more than n cup. In
eating Turks have no use for forks as
they use their fingers. Bread is made
by the women and baked at a public
bakery. Some times it has to be soak
ed in water before it can be eaten.
There are no doctors in small towns
and sometimes non in cities Of from
1000 TO 5000 inhabitants.
His wife also dressed in the yelled
costume of Turkish women with a
cloak entirely over her, except her face
over which was u veil. Turkish court
ship would not suit American boys.
The young men see their future wife
only a few times before they are
ried, as all matches are made by the
parents. After they are engaged they
never see one another until after they
are married, and it is.cOnsidered a dis
grace for a nan to go along the street
where his intendent resides. Some
times several go to the Mosque to be
married at one time and as the women
are always yelled, it has happened that
a man sometimes leads off some other
mans wife, and another his, and it is
not found out for some days afterwards.
All who wish to know more about
the Turks should subscribe for the book
he is writing concerning his people, to
help him secure money to return to
Turky to he a missionary to his own
people. Price 81.

Reasons Why Ii Was Defeated b!
the Bishops.

Reasons Why 1t Was Defeated by
the Bishops.
A HERALD reporter went to see Cap
tain d. R. Risley yesterday in reference
to the defeat in the House of Bishops Of
the proposition to set off Southern Cali
fornia into sseparate diocese of the Epis-
copal church. The Captain was found
in his Office over the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank. The subject being
broached, he said:
was a representative to the State
Convention where the proposition was
acted on to cut off the southern counties.
1t was held in San Francisco last spring.
There was much opposition raised on the
part of few persons. Now the House
of Bishops says the application for the
formation of a diocese here is denied by
them for two reasons. The first reason
is majority of the members
of the church in California are opposed
to the division. That is the way the
reports come to us over the wires through
the daily press. If that is a correct
report, then the Bishops have been
deceived by some misrepresentation. A
majority of the members of the church in
this diocese as at present constituted, are
in favor of the division. They are in
favor of it three to one.
The other reason for denying the appli-
cation, as represented in the press dis.
patches, is that the promised support for
the new diocese is inadequate. 1t is as
good as tllat ever subscribed for any new
diocese, and it is better than that fol-
twenty per cent. of them.
The reporter suggested that the matter
was over for the present, al
any rate, and asked the Captain what
could be done to supply these southern
counties with Episcopal supervision
Major Risley said in answer to this:
We have no Bishop as things are now.
This is said in no disrespect for Bishop
Kip. He has done noble work for the
State, and his books on theology woulC
endear him to the church. But he il
almost blind, and burdened with age anc
physical infirmities. Bishop Wingfield
of Northern California, has been coming
here for some years past. For two years
he could not come at all, until he called
here on his way to the general conven
ton couple of months ago. They tall
of an Assistant Bishop to help Bishop
Kip. That is an abortive prop
osition. There is no such thing
as Assistant Bishop. A Bishop il
a Bishop, and one as much Bishop al
another.
As soon as Dean True returns the con
vocation will be called together. The
matter will then be treated as becomes
the subject. AS it is now Southern Cali
fornia has no representation in diocesan
affairs. Some of the members of the
church here may be on the committees
but when meeting takes place it woult
cost $l00 to attend, that is out of the
question.
| Captain Risley closed by saying thai
the defeat in the House of Bishops wal
accomplished by misrepresentation ani
that the misrepresentation was concoctet
ia San Francisco.

says
The dreamy strains of Chopin, rendered
by Mrs Sherwood with touch light as snow
fall, were followed BY a fascinating peal of
sleigh bells from Tschaikowsky, and then
there came the famous waltz in + major
from Moszkowski, given with amazing firm
ness and celebrity. The temp of this charm
ing composer seem unsttainable to many ac-
complished amateurs, and it is the triumph
of but few professionals to reach them.
Mrs. Sherwood, however has overcome the
difficulties involved in her fidelity to the
standard of the composer. and gives the
hearers true presentation of his idea.
The Tannhauser overture for four hands
was given by Mrs. Sherwood and Miss Elsa
Sherwood, promising pianist of thirteen
years. Those who had examined this Wag

way in which Primo and Secondo seemed
formed for mutual discontinue instead of
fellowship, and therefore wondered the more

a result due not only to her own musical
feeling but to the careful training of her
accomplished mother.
