ruRKtsH STREET COSTUMES.
They Differ Very Little From That
Worn by the Parisians.

They Differ Very Little From That
Worn by the Parlsians.
On the street the Ottoman dame Is
less distinctly Oriental in appearance
that at home amid her servants, and
were it not for the ever present yash
max and the many-hued ribbons and
trimmings, she might pass in crowd
of Europeans without attracting much
attention. Indeed, the higher class of
Turkish ladies dress quite la Paris
ienne. French shoes, handsome Pa
risian parasol and long silk cloak
gathered about the shoulders aud
reaching TO the feet, entirely conceal
ing the dress beneath, complete the cos
tune.
The white veil swatbes the face an
neck and serves the double purpose
modest concealment and cool neck
erchief. II Is only fair to say, how
ever, that the yaskmak is gradually bo
coming more and more Transparent,
and that every lineament can easily b
traced through its gossamer folds. So
light face covering does not impose
any restraint on conversation or breath
ing, and in the dusty and unwholesome
streets Of Constantinople is positive
benefit, deeping the dirt from the
lungs.
Among the wives Of the poorer class
Of Turkish citizens the yashmak Is even
more Of make believe. 1t becomes
simply a meagre square of muslin or
some gauzy stuff, generally white or
grayish, and Is the merest shadow Of
its predecessor, which was formidable
affair of many folds, entirely sbscuring
the whole face, with the exception Of
the eyes The head dress Is usually
white and covers the hair altogether,
leaving only the eyes free. While
among the ladies of wealth the black
cloak has been superseded by the more
fashionable dolman or pelisse, among
the middle class women and the poor
the sombre garment still holds its own.
One meets buggy looking creatures
hidden in its folds from head to foot
and not feature visible except pos
sibly a single eye that shines out from
the black hood like dusky lamp. II
will be many years before the ungainly
cloak retires before the more fashion
able garments of Western Europe, fol-
all the Turks except the official class
are very poor, and the big cloak hides 9
multitude of shortcomings.
Diaphanous wells, high. heeled shoes
and slippers, fine dresses and European
styles belong TO the owners of palaces
and villas, whose mistresses never leave
home unattended, and whose Nubiar
girls trotting behind remind the Ameri
can visitor of the custom of the South.

t-f the south.

the south.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The Chicago
National League Club will leave next
Monday for st. Augustine, Fla, to go
into pr actice for the coming champion
ship season. Captain Anson will have
charge of the men, as in the past. So
far he has thirteen players under con-
tract, but, before the end of the present
week, this number will have been in
creased to sixteen. The. big captain is
negotiating with a couple of the most
promising members of the Chicago City
League, and may take them with him.
He is also on the lookout for first
class pitcher and one or two outfielders.
and says he will secure them before the
season opens, no matter what the cost.
President A. G. Spalding, who Is still
in'the East, telegraphed yesterday that
he would leave shortly for Florida to
join the team. After witnessing few
days practice Mr.. Spalding will return
to this city and Anson will take the
colts through Texas to the Hot Springs.
They will arrive there about March !,
or at the same time as the Chicago
Brotherhood team.
The two organizations will play on
separate diamonds, of course, but there
will be great rivalry between them
nevertheless. Were 1t possible to ar
range series of exhibition games both
clubs might be able to make the ex-
penses of their trip. In a letter to w.
+. BrownMr. Spalding denies that there
Is a possibility of the Leagues aban-
doning the national agreement. He
says that it will be the duty of the
League in the future. as 1t has been in
the past, to uphold the agreement and
protect it from piratical wreclSers Of
the game.
Mr. Spalding further says that the
League will be composed of ten clubs,
as has been stated all along. Neither
Indianapolis nor Washington will be
dropped, but, on the contrary, both will
be Strengthened. Especially will this
be the case with Washington, which
will be consolidated with the Baltimore
club. indianapolis Is already in the
front rank. and has enough players
under contract to open the season. The
talk about the Hoosier team being
transferred to New York the Chicago
magnate eharacterizes as the yeriesi
bosh. He says there never vas any
truth In the story, but that it was cireu-
lated for the purpose of weakening
other clubs under the national agree,

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 6.-Two shock
ing accidents occurred yesterday at
Roebling's wire mill. Charles Cheatle
was pierced through the body and for
aninstant was suspended in the air on
q red.hot rod about three inches in
diameter. Cheatie, who is but 17years
Of age, was what Is known as
''hooker-up" In the mill. As the iron
leaves the furnace he selves 1t In pair
Of tongs and guides it to hole. which
reduces the size.
iAshe attempted to seize piece of
iron yesterday, it broke near the tongs
and before he had time to again take
hold the red hot and now wriggling rod
entered his right side just above the
hip, and passing through the lungs
came out beneath the left arm pit. As
the rod passed through Cheatle's body,
the end caught in piece Of machinery
and for an instant the boy was suspended
in the air on q red hot rod.
His weight broke the iron and
Cheatle fell in front Of the furnace on
his feet. At the same time another
rod Of red-hot iron was seen coming
through the rollers from the furnace.
Cheatle still held the tongs when the
iron left his body, and as he saw the sec.
ond piece leaving the furance, had
sufficient presence of mind to ward it
off, else this, too, would have pierced
his body. Medical attendance was at
once procured, but the case was hope
less Mart Molesky, a fine wire drawer
of the same mill. was pierced in the
stomach about midnight Tuesday night.
He is q new man., and did not under.
stand how to arrange his wire, which
broke, the end entering the pit of his
stomach. The reel" runs very fast,
and when the fine wire entered Molesky
he was pinned in corner, and before
the reel could be stopped about ten feet
of it had curled up in the mans
stomach.
William Merchon was killed In the
same mill Tuesday by the breaking OF
an electric wire. The mill closed down
for the day after Cheatle received his
wound, and the firm ordered a corps oi
Trenton physicians to relieve the men
but the doctors declare that the injured
men cannot recover.
