TURKISH FOLKLORE,
Curious Superstitions Held in veneration
BY the Turkish People.

Curious Superstitions Held in veneration
BY the Turkish People.
Wherever there are human beings, it
matters not of what nationality, there
will always be found legends, sayings,
customs, signs and tokens, more or less
absurd, which have been handed down
from generation to generation, and in
which the ignorant implicitly believe.
The following have been selected from
a great number held in veneration in
Turkey:
The Vulture and the Stork-the good
God said one day to a vulture and a
stork:
"Ask me whatever you wish and it
shall be granted you.'
''Let US reflect" said the two birds.
1.-THE vulture and tho stork took
counsel together and decided to ask
that they might live for a thousand
years. Then they returned to the
Lord.
ST wish to live thousand years"
said the vulture.
"And | for one year." said the stork
by mistake
God granted these demands, and that
is the reason the vulture lives a
thousand years and the stork one year.
The New Moon-When one sees for
the first time the new moon he must
take piece of money, look at it for
moment, raise it toward the moon and
put it again into his purse. By this
means your purse will always be full
of money.
Vampires-If a cat enters the cham
Der where a man lies dying and passes
over his body the man after death will
become vampire
Bread-When one finds a piece of
bread which has fallen upon the ground
he must pick it up, kiss it and put it in
hole. To tread upon piece of bread
is terrible sin.
The Dog Cat, Mouse and Grocer-A
dog having found a written letter placed
it in the care of cat. The cat hid the
letter in a hole. The mouse stole the
letter and hid it in bag. The grocer
found the letter and used it to wrap up
a piece of cheese. The dog demanded
the letter of the cat. The cat said the
mouse had stolen it. The cat requested
the mouse to give it back. The mouse
said the grocer had taken it to his shop
and used it in making up parcel of
cheese. That is the reason the dog
pursues the cat for the purpose of re-
claiming the letter, the cat runs after
the mouse to demand the letter, and
the mouse introduces himself in to the
bags of the grocer for the purpose of
finding it.
The King of the Serpents.
Miriam is the name of the king of the
serpents. When any body sees serpent
he should say: Gin the name of Chah-
Miriam go far away and hide myself"
The serpent will disappear immediate
ly. Chah-Miran is dead, but the SER
penis do net know it. Otherwise they
would devour the whole human species
The fear of this great king is the only
thing which prevents them from de-
stroying all mankind. Boston Herald

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 25.-Although
no real fear that the cholera will reach the
United States is expressed by the authorities
of the treasury department, they are taking
all precautions deemed necessary to prevent
its introduction. Circulars have heretofore
been issued to customs officers directing the
disinfection of baggage from cholera in
fected ports. Health officers at New York
and Baltimore have been advised formally
OF the existence of cholera at Hamburg and
Havre, as were also immigrant officers at
these ports. Assistant Secretary Spauldin9

BERLIN, August 30.-Delegates from all

on the subject of the cholera.
The president of the police reported that
not single case of Asiatic cholera had yet
been certified to in Berlin. Statements COW
ering the whole health condition of Germany
we're reasuring, although Prot. Koch thinks
that the worst .peri, OF the epidemic In
Hamburg and Altoona has not yet passed.
The authorities of Hamburg and Altoona
are blamed for concealing the presence #
the disease. The first outbreak occurred in
Hamburg a. far back Is August IA, and in
Altoona August Is. During the whole week
vessels left Hamburg under clean bills Of
health, although the authorities knew the
epidemic was daily growing worse.
The imperial health Office, recognizing the
value of the utmost publicity, is making ar
to publish daily health record
of Berlin and other cities, reporting all cases
of cholera and kindred diseases. Diarrh9al
diseases and dysentery, which are rather rife
here, and which are apt to alarm the people,
will have the especial attention of the doc
ton.

Cinnamon VIII Fight.

Cinnamon Will Fight
CmoAao, August 26.-Sam Moy, who is
prominent in the Chinese colony in Chicago,
surprised government officials by informing
them that orders had been received from
China not to obey the law requiring
Chinese residents to take out certificates of
residence. He said the government of China
had sent one of its officials to this country to
fight the laws in the courts. This minister
from the Chinese court was in Chicago few
days ago, he said, and had informed him and
others of the wishes of the Chinese govern
ment
The representative from the celestial en-
pire had gone to Washington to secure the
best legal talentto be had, and the law would
be tested in the United States supreme court.
A test case would be made of the arrest of
some Cinnamon in Detroit. where they were
held on the charge of violating the exclusion
law passed by the present congress. In this
way the exclusion act and the provision COM
pelling Cinnamon to take out certificates of
residence would be tested together. Until Q
decision was rendered. he SAID, no Chinaman
in Chicago would take out certificate.

Texas Railroad Commissioners En-
Joined.
New YORK, August PA dispatch from
Dallas, Texas, received in Wall street says j:
United States Judge McCord at Dallas,
Texas, in the case of the railroads against
the state of Texas railroad commission, de-
cided every point in favor of the railroad
company, and granted an injunction against
the commissioners exactly as prayed for.
In April, 1881, the Texas legislature ap-
pointed q railroad commission which began
to establish rate reducing the tariff to such
. degree that the railroads claimed that they
we're running their business at a serious loss.
Actions were brought by several of the roads
against the Texas railroad con- missioaers
asking for an Injunction, showing that the
rates made by the commissioners were un-
reasonable and praying that they be re-
stricted from making such rates in effect
which were not reasonable, and restraining
shippers from bringing an action claiming
ing forfeitures under the act.

causes which compelled the recent action of

At Sweeny's invitation the heads of other
railroadmen's organizations held confer
euce with him q Buffalo.
When tins conference met p m. only
three were present besides Sweeny. They
were Sargent, CLARK and Wilkinson. Sweeny
was asked to ret forth the position IN which
be and his men were placed. He did 20 at
length and in detail At the conclusion of
Sweeny's statements. Sargent reiterated what
he had already stated, that his men should
not 60 out on q sympathetic strike unless all
railway organizations did 30.
Sweeny received his ultlmatum and the
conference broke up about Z O'Clock. Three
labor chiefs frankly stated to waiting 10
porters the ultimatum they had given to the
switchmen's leader.
Sweeny departed unobserved. He had ap-
pealed for aid which had been denied him,
and his next duty was to apprise the repre-
sentatives of the now idle switchmen that
their cause was lost. He went direct to tho
local switchmen's headquarters, where he
held q conference with Master Workman
Moriarty, of the switchmen's lodge of Buf.
falo, and three other local representatives.
The conference lasted until after IL o'clock.
During its progress messages came and were
dispatched frequently. Newspaper men were
then admitted, and Sweeny, in tone of voice
80 low a. to be scarcely heard across the
room, said:
"a conclusion has been reached by duly
authorized representatives of the switchmen.
and it is that the trouble is ended at mid
night. That is all have got to say, and
don't propose to answer any questions, SO
you need not ask any. Five hundred and
fifteen switchmen can't fight 1000 troops"
Arbitration Commissioner Donovan stated
that nearly so per cent. of the cow idle switch
men will be re-employed. The troops will
be speedily Withdrawn.
