PUBLIC SCHOOL RULES.
Changes Adopted by the Board
Of Education.

A meeting of the Board of Education was
held last night to resume the revision of the
new rules OF the department as published in
The CALL of February 18th last. Direc-
tors Culver, Ames. Brooks. Decker, Pen
nington, Hyde. Sewell, Harney, Sabin and
Superintendent SWEET answered the roll
call. The board resolved itself into Com
mittee OF the Whole, with Director Brooks
in the chair.
The work of revision was resumed with
Section A. defining the duties of the Judici-
ary Committee. 1t was adopted as read, as
were sections concerning the Committees on
Supplies, Finance, Printing and Janitors.
No changes were made in the sections apply
ing to proposals for work and mourning
expenses.
In sections 50 and So, applying to general
rules, the following change was ordered ::
That the first six vacancies in the substitute
class shall he filled by the graduates of the
normal class in the order of their gradua-
ti0n. The previous reading was for only
three vacancies to be thus filed. The
change was strongly supported by Superin-
tendent SWEET, who stated that all the va
cancies for teachers in the department ought
to be filled progressively from the Normal
School, Such course would do away with
all scandals arising from political or other
pressure for the appointment of teachers.
Superintendent Sweets views, and Director
Sabin stated that after fulfilling his present
pledges to two teachers he would in the fu-
ture make all his appointments from the
highest graduates OF the normal class.
The sections relating to the duties of the
Superintendent and Secretary were adopted
without change. Similar action was taken
regarding the head carpenter and store
keeper sections. excepting that both were or
dered TO give bonds in the sum of 5000 for
the faithful performance of their duties, said
bonds to be approved by the President of
the board.
In the division relating to public schools
it was ordered that primary schools of
twenty classes or more shall have head
assistant. The clauses relating to duties of
principals, substitutes and student teachers
were adopted as read, as were those on cor
pOTal punishment and suspension.
In discussing the section referring to gen.
eral rules the clause defining the duties of
principals and vice principals in taking
charge of yards during intermission was
amended to read that principals shall not he
required to do yard duty. The committee
then adjourned to the next regular meeting.

HUMOR AND TORTURE.
How the Sultan Of Turkey Punished His
EmbaSSador.

How the Sultan Of Turkey Punished His
Embassador.
The facts behind the official announce
ment that the Turkish Embassador at vi
emma died of apOpleXy rrOve that the Leader
Of the Faithful is thoroughly abreast of the
times without in the least disgracing his un-
speakable ancestors of rack and bowstring
memory. This Emoassador, SadouIlah
Pasha, was tie confidential adviser of Alb
dul Hamid's predecessor on the Ottoman
throne. He was. therefore in disgrace
when Abdul Hamid became Sultan. But
Sadou llah was such rare diplomatist that
he was not to be sent to join the prophet or
banished to the fastness of Arabia. So the
Sultan sent him as ambassador to Berlin.
and afterward to Vienna. Sadoullah left
behind him in Constant tinOple his wife and
his two children, boy and girl, to whom
he was much attached.
The Philadelphia Item relates the circum-
stances as follows: This was fourteen
years ago. Sadoullah had never been al
lowed to return to Constantinople. When
ever he asked permission he was refused on
the ground that his services at his post were
too valuable to be spared even a few days.
He then asked that his family might cnme
to him. This, also, was courteously re-
fused. AT last the Sultan allowed his son
TO go on to see him. But in no way was
Sadoullah able to arrange a meeting with
his daughter, to whom he was especially
attached. AS sort of refinement OF cruelty
the Sultan loaded him with honors and
decorations.
The Emoassador rendered his resignation,
but his master sent him an amiable note,
saying that he could not do without so
valuable servant. He did not dare rebel.
His wife and daughter were in the power
of his torturer For the same reason he was
forced TO do his best toward furthering the
Sultan's interest at Vienna.
This state of affairs has long been known
The morning call., 1891-03-21

to the diplomatic corps OF the Austrian
Court, and SadOullah has received especial
consideration. Fourteen years of this acute
suffering stamped his face with deep and
sad detection. He grew to have the air of
one who expects at any moment mortal
blow At last this cruelty, so cleverly and
IL ceasingly prolonged, reduced him to a
state OF melancholia.
On June I'd a dispatch from Constantine
pie informed him that his daughter was at
the point of death. He at once telegraphed
for permission to go to her. After ten days
tive refusal. At last Sadoullah gave up
hope. He realized that his Punishment was
for life. After brooding over this final
stroke five days he went out early the mofn-
ing of January 18th and bought rubber
pipe. He returned to the embassy and
locked himself in his apartment lie put
one end of the pipe over the Sas-ourner, the
other end in his mouth. He turned on the
gas and drew several deep breaths. When
they found him he was unconscious and
past recovery.
The embassy at once announced that he
had died of apoplexy. The Sultan gave
personal directions as to the hOnOrs to be
paid to his remains and his memory. The
body was taken TO Constantin ople, and the
Sultan is said to have wept over his honored
and faithful servant. AT any rate Sadoullah
and his family were reunited.
This incident shows clearly that the Sub
lime Porte is benefitipg by civilization.
Timour the Lame and all other Turks and
Tartars must withdraw before their i'm
proved descendant, who so far outdid the
old method, which at the best meant few
hours Of mere physical torture and then the
relief of death. Abdul Hamid had all the
joy of seeing Sadoullah suffer exquisitey
through fourteen years. He had also the
benefit OF a great diplomate's skill during the
best period of his life.

HOW HE ESCAPED DEATH.
4 Confederate Captain Tells Story o

4 Confederate Captain Tells Story of
the War.
81 have one man under sentence of death
for smuggling arms across the lines and
hope MI. Lincoln will approve It," This
sentence was contained in the letter from
General Sherman to his brother John Sher-
man, written from Memphis, Tenn. under
date of August 49, 1862, and published since
the Generals death, says Richmond (Va.)
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The man whose death-sentence was re-
ferred to by General Sherman is NJ. A. Mil
Ter, an ex-Captain Of Engineers in the Con-
federate Army, who lives on a farm in Hen
rico County, near this city. Captain Mil
Ter has narrated the story of his wonderful
escape from the doom that awaited him.
Says the Captain:
- 1t was one afternoon late in July, 1862,
while l was in the Federal prison at Mem
phis, that friend of mine, a Miss Gibson,
who had been to call on me, whispered:
Lieutenant, you are under the sentence of
death and are to be shot at an early day.
Take my advice and get away from here
" Mr.. Lincoln did approve the sentence of
death, but | am still here " hile he and Gen
eral Sherman have gone TO join Lee and
jackson and other good soldiers. 1t is true,
as stated by General Sherman in his letter,
that the mercenary spirit of his people en-
abled us to buy anything we wanted for
gold or cotton. When Sherman first took
possession of Memphis he issued an order
declaring gold, medicines and salt contra
bands, and as such prohibited their sale to
the people. But his orders were practically
ignored, and we got anything we wanted.
For month l was steadily supplying
our soldiers with arms and met with no
serious diff ulty. But one afternoon in
July my good luck deserted me. l was car
rying over two Eoxes OF officers swords, and
was in the middle of the river when picket
boat ran up to me. | at once knew that
danger was ahead, and jumping on the gun
wales of the boat | tried to sink it. But the
skiif was too heavy and would not dip.
The officer in charge of the picket boat
arrested me, and the skff man also, and
took us, with the two boxes, to gunboat
near by.
There the boxes were opened and as
soon as the nature of their contents was
disclo sed, | was at once carried to the mill
tary prison in the Irving Block, in the center
of the city,"
Miller describes his trial by court-martial,
conviction. and sentence to be shot the Fri
day following the Monday of his conviction.
OF his escape tho Captain says that he in
duced his guard, who was not aware of the
gravity of his sentence, to let him go home
to see sick child. While in the house he
went upstairs, jumped out of a window, and
fed through the lines

COAST sEAAIEN.
Their New Shipping omce Is Success.
Thus Far.

Their New Shipping Office Is a Success
Thus Far.
The clearinghouse master as a shipping
master promises to become thing of the
past from this time on. The shipping Office
established by the Coast Seameu's Union
is proving a success, and there seems to be
practically no objection on the part of
the masters TO sign the agreement submitted
10 them BY the union, to ship all their sea-
men from the unions Office.
A few captains were found yesterday who
objected to the new regime, but when they
undertook to pursue the old plan of shipping
from the boarding-houses but could not get a
man they very quickly fell into line. Cap
tain Brandenburg of the schooner Spokane
spent two days in making up crew; he
went 10 every house on the front and then
secured the wharves, but without result.
Finally he went to the Coast Seamel's
shipping Office, signed the agreement, and
secured good crew without further diff
Guilty.
So sudden and radical has been this
change that il has nearly taken the breath
from the clearinghouse masters. About
the only safeguard which the boarding
house man had against being defrauded by
his boarders, that is by their leaving him
and their unpaid board-bills at the same
time, was his ability to handle the blood
money aud the advance wages the ship
master pays upon shipment. Now they can
see no projection at all, and are doing their
utmost to strike up amicable relations with
tie union to the end that the union protect
them against being swindled.
A conference has been proposed by the
masters, but the union does not encourage
it, because it does not perceive what good
can result. While the union will not en-
courage its members in blking the masters,
it will not enter into any compact to insure
them against loss. When the seaman was
at their mercy they showed no mercy. Now
the seaman can look cut for himself; they
must do the same.

retary from up and down the coast as far as
the union extends, all indorsing the estab-
Ishment Of the shipping office.
