The coming novelist who will dissect
American character and hold 1t up to the
wonder or admiration Of the world will
find something worth studying In the life
of the hermit Of New York and Newport
who has just died and left be hind him the
SIC, 900 600 be ached to take with him be-
yond the grave. For ten years Edmund
Il. Schermerhorn had lived in literally
palatial mansion at Newport, with his
gates locked against all but his physician
surrounded only by servants, and living
In parsimony which contrasted strangely
with his once spendthrift ways
In my boyhood had heard Of
him rs the gayest OF gay young men
about town, and afterward as entertain
ing the fashionable world at lavish ex-
pense in his pwenty.third street residence.
Then, after while, ne wearied OF social
pleasures, drew more and more within his
shell. became reclnse and scholar, and
finally grew utterly unsociRl. A bachelor
or seventy-five when he died on Thursday,
he belonged to one Of the oldest Of New
York families. through whom the Astors
had by marriage become admitted to So
ciety. Why the wild and luxurious BACH
elor lender OF society became transformed
into the unsocial recluse is ono Of the Be-
crets at which his friends can only guess
they anege disappointment In love
and which the novelist can spell out to suit
himself.-Philadelphia Record.

His activity, enthusiasm, strict atten.
tion TO the game, and steadiness Of nerve
before noisy crowd OF admirers are re-
markable. The game Is silent one. The
pitcher does not speak, and the dog utters
no sound. A slight motion Of hand OF
head by the pitcher indicates TO the agile
catcher what style Of ball lie TO be pitched
and the dog quickly takes bis position
and attitude accordingly.
This base ball club OF two members plays
two styles Of the game, which may be re-
spectively called walking" and sta
uonary" games. In the one the pitcher
moves onward at Q moderate walk, the
catcher being long distance In advance,
and sharply alert as the first Of the two
balls are pitched.
At long distance he has time to gauge
the speed, height and line Of the ball and

Female slave, In Turkey.

Speaking generally, female slaves In
Turkey have very little to complain Of.
The good fortune of those gifted with per-
sonal attractions - indeed assured from
the outset, for many Turks prefer, for
various reasons. to marry women who
have been brought up as slaves. In all
probability her owner will set her free ION
her becoming a mother) and marry her,
III which case she assumes all the
rights and privileges of an Osmanli
matron. Food Of an inferior quality
is not deemed by Mosle ms good
enough for servants but according to
the command OF the Prophet the slaves
fare as well as their owners. Whatever
her faults and shortcomings, she may n t
be sent aCrift into the. wide world, her
owner being responsible for her mainten-
ance. AT the end Of seven years servi-
