TIE late khedlve had a beautiful do
mestic life. He was n Mahometan, and
he hence had the right 10 four wives. lie

his harem as large as he wished. Never

but one wife, and he remained true to her.
Shortly before saw him he had said to
one of his friends. in speaking OF his
family:

The domestic relations OF the khedlve
and the khedivleh were much the same
as those Of any CHRISTIAN family. though
the manners OF the palace were. OF course.
after those OF tho Mahometau. The khe-
dive had his establishment and she had
lers. The two ate separately. When
they went from one place To another they
seldom Travelled in the same car. Still
heir relations were the most intimate
and the khedive often counseled with hi
wife as TO matters OF State. They wer
both very fond OF their family. The tw,
boys and the two girls who. made up tn,
children OF the establishment, wer
brought up very much like well-to-d
american children. They dressed In Eu
ropean clothes. They had European gov.
ernesses, and they were given good, prac.

The khedive was more democratic In
his relations TO his people than any rulei
that Egypt has ever had. He appeared

suits of his observations. Employees of

Scotch Highlands, Edinburg and its
castle, Abbottsford and Melrose Abbey,
the Eastern Cathedral towns, London

Notes of the Contest,

A rather laughable indication of the in
terest that is taken in the NEWS free trip
To Europe for workingman's representa-
tive is reported by n man about town who
takes his meals at night in a certain pop
ular restaurant. He gave his copy Of the
NEWS every night to the girl who waited
ut his table on the condition that she
should save the coupons for him. The
other evening she said TO him
"Mr. ---, L like the News very much, but
| can t save the coupons foI YOU can't
have u copy ont of my sight but some one
cuts the ballot out and runs off with il.
A certain shop which is interested in the
success of Mr.. McCiuy, has appointed
custodian of coupons, TO whom every
night, or mt intervals, the other men turn
over their accumulations. The NEWS has
heard OF this instance and expects To get n
deluge of coupons later, for this is the
work that tells. \ shop. a secret society

than any individual. In union is
strength.
The candidacy of II. H. Quinn of Phenix
