Among Turkish Women.

CoNsTANTNoPLE, Sept. 10.-The dress
of the Turkish woman is peculiar and
the style never changes materially,
though once in while sleeves will be
tight instead of loose or some trihing
change will be made. The colors are al
ways of the most brilliant, and the most
startling contrasts are much sought.
No woman can seek or ask the society
of her husband out of her turn on any
pretext. Where there is large harem
the wives are called Lady Monday, Lady
Tuesday and so on.
Turkish houses of any pretension have
courtyard, or at least a large hall,
where the men servants and visitors sit
while awaiting the signal to enter the
haremlik or room where the master of
the house receives his friends and eats
his meals and attends to all business
connected with the household. His little
boys, after they are years old, live
there with him in care Of tutor. The
girls remain with their mothers. The
rooms of the harem, or sacred place."
are placed on the other side of the hall
or court, and generally consist of suite
of many rooms, The large living room
is in the middle, with LONG HAN open
ing out of it, on each side of which are
the wives separate suites Of rooms.
The number of attendants and servants
considered necessary for q Turkish house
hold could never be accommodated in
buildings of reasonable sizeif each had to
have bedroom, but they sleep on the
divans and on the floor in every room.
The bitter cold is very hard to bear in
Turkey, as there are no stoves or CRATES
or other means Of heating than little
braziers, with less than quart of glow
ing charcoal partially covered by ashes
to keep a great bare room warm. Wom-
en- and children are muffled in furs to
the very eyes, and they eat, smoke and
sleep away their time.
In the summer the women can go to
the Sweet Waters, pretty creek with
some fifty or sixty plane trees, and here
they sit on the ground and listen to the
wandering minstrels, eat, drink and
amuse themselves like children. They
go out in caiques, and they have picnics
at several points on the shores of the
Bcsporus. Most Of them go to their
country homes in summer and return to
the city for winter. They do not go to
the mosque often, but wherever they go
they are followed by one or more great
black eunuchs.
Girls marry very young, and are old
at %. Poor and aged widows are cared
for by the imam or priest of the district
in benevolent homes, all except the
widows of sultan, who, no matter
what their age, must go to the retreat
at Seraglio Point, for they are sacred
forever, having had the felicity of ses-
ing the sultan. N. d.

formed that 1t was "a colony or Slwasn In
dams from British Columbia on their an
nual hop picking expedition to the Puyal-
lup hop fields further up the sound
They were soon stored aboard our vessel
in a heterogeneous heap-rubbish and
camp accouterments such as may be seen
nowhere else except in an Indian lodge,
and Indians Of all ages and both
sexes lying around with their own pecul-
lar abandon. When our boat steamed
out into the darkness toward Seattle a
number of the passengers, members of the
Washington Press association, went down
below to visit our quaint fellow travellers.
We found a negro preacher in charge of
the Siwashes. and he acted as spokesman
for them. He was their spiritual sponsor
in their British Column bian home, and ac-
companied them to the hep fields ostensi-
bly, to guard their souls from the blighting
contact with Yankee hop field morals and
fire-water.
1t was a somewhat curious combination;
but the colored dominic mad apparent per-
feet control Of his queer flock, and when a
song was called for he led in his native
tones, and the Indians joined in with ap-
parent zest in a hallelujah chorus which
would have done credit to an Alabama
camp meeting.
We reached Seattle at the early dawn
and boarded a train for Tacoma. Soon
the destination of the Indians was revealed
in the most bountifully laden hop fields
have ever seen. The tall poles were sim
ply burdened with luxuriant vines, which
grew in perfect masses on every hand. The
land sells readily at S4O0 to $500 an acre in
the valleys thereabout. Two thousand
eight hundred pounds of hops were picked
per acre in some instances. From !, 500 to
$500 pounds was a common yield. The price
was 35 cents and the market rising. One
farmer reported net result of $35, 900 for
this years crop. Eight cents pound COW
cred every item of expense in growing,
gathering and marketing. All above that
was net profit.
The Indians were paid 81 box for pick
ing. \ box holds sixteen bushels of loose
hops. They earn at that rate from one to
two and a half dollars day. They all
pick, from the oldest men and women TO
the child of a few summers. They pitch
their canvas tents under some near by
grove or in one corner of the field. Rain
does not drive them from the fields, as it
does white pickers who go cut from the
cities for an annual spree at hop picking
time That is why farmers prefer the In
dians 1t is said that the Washington crop
this year is the best ever known, and it is
a veritable gold mine at the present prices.
The eastern crop is short, and this is all
the better for the Washington farmers.

HOW THEY POUR IN.
Notes Regarding Present Immigration to
the Port of New York.
TSDeciaI CorrespOudepce

the Port of New York.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Oct 13-The continent of
earthquakes aud volcanoes, Central Amer
lea, is sending us a small but estimable
number of immigrants. Nearly all of these
are business men or clerks of ability and
enterprise, who come here to represent the
| commercial relations which have grown so
great in the past few years. The extent of
this trade is hardly realized by the average
reader. In Costa Rica alone the export of
bananas to the United States jumped
from 800 punches in 1880 to 100000 punches
in 1882 growth never equaled in the his
tory of commerce Besides fruits Central
America exports 10 the United States cof-
fee, hides, india rubber, tapioca, cocoa in
digo and any number of dye woods, doing
an annual business far up in the millions.
Their immigrants to US can hardly be con-
sidered gain, as each one acts as an agent
to secure citizens for his own republic.
Thus far their efforts have been only sac
cessful enough to balance the flow of pop
ulation between the two continents. The
Central Americans who come here are
usually handsome brunettes, VINO TGserI-
bic Spaniards, but unlike the latter have
the quickness and energy which mark the
peoples of the western continent.
An excellent but pitiful proof of the de-
cadence of the Sandwich Islands is afford
ed in the disappearance of the sailors who
belong TO that nation. They make superb
mariners, and since the last century have
been favorites with ship captains. Twenty
years ago they were quite a common feat
uTe along the water front, but nowadays
they are rarely seen. Even these few are
not the tall and stalwart men of past gem
GRAFTON. but are small and sickly in appear
ance. Judging from the New York stand
point the entire race seems to be rapidly
following in the footsteps of the Maori and
the North American Indian. The reason
of their popularity with those who go
down into the sea with great ships lies in
their docility, sobriety and courage. They
have fewer troubles on shipboard than
any other race, and seem to take pleasure
in their work On shore in New York they
are quiet and orderly, with a mild leaning
toward opium and other vices.
Despite the exclusion laws there Is
steady increase of our Chinese population.
Excepting in California they are popular
with the American public. Most of those
who now come in do so VIA Vancsuvers
Island, the Canadian Pacific railway. Mex-
leo and the gulf and Atlantic seaports. 1t
should be added that there are no more
coolies. and that many OF those who obtain
inEress are shrewd. well educated men

Especial Corrcspocdence.l
NEW YORK, oct. 2.-The New Yorker
who notices hole in the sidewalk should
go directly to Mayor Grant and talk u
him about it. 1t is a return TO the sim
plicity of our forefathers. Let him go to
the mayors Office, AID he will find three
or four policemen in the anterOom. The
proper way to dois towalk past them, say
ingnothinc. They may object, and try to
stop him, but an American citizen should
not submit to dlctatiOn-unlessh he has
to. Probably he may have to. Then he
Fan send in his name. or his card, if he
has one. Anycard Viii do. The mayor
is somewhat Of a joker, and will take
even the right bower. After the caller
gets in he VIII probably be intercepted
by the mayors secretary, who will try
to save his honor from the annoyance of
listening. The citizen, however, should
refuse to tell anybody but the mayor
what he has TO say, and he will be
pleased to find how patiently the mayor
will listen. That is really what he was
elected for. OF course.
As matter of fact the mayor is one
of the most easily accessible of all the
public men in the city. The policemen
in the outer room and his vigilant secre
tary are the only barriers in anybody's
way, and it is easy to pass them if one
has anything like 4 reasonable pretext of
business.
Probably the most difficult to see of
any man in New York when he is in
New York, is James Gordon Bennett |
worked for him ten years, and never
saw him but twice in that time, once b.
accident and once when | was sent to
him by the managing editor of The Her
aid. AS nearly as | could judge by
what | saw and heard in those ten years
Mr.. Bennett is absolutely Indifferent to
the demands or the desires Of other peo-
pie who have occasion TO see him. Ii Is
said that he once refused TO see a COM
mittee from a woraingmen's convention
who called on him 10 offer him the
nomination 70 the mayoralty. Probably
there isn't another man IN the country
who would do THAI.
Moreover Mr.. Bennett is enabled 10

wait to see him by the labYrinthine IA
