The wild recklessness and extrava-
gance of George " have become pro-
verbal in history. During one of his
carouses shortly after his coronation he
commanded that six of the palace cham
bermaids be brought before him. The
order was obeyed, whereupon the king,
turning to his associates, asked them to
make wagers upon the ladies as to which
one would smoke the most cigars in half
an hour.
Upon hearing what was expected of
them two or three of the maids endeav-
ored to beat hasty retreat from the
royal presence, but were prevented from
doing so by the attendants. A box of
mild cigars was produced, and each
chambermaid hidden to light and smoke
one.
The ludicrous manner in which most
of them attempted to light the weeds
caused the most boisterous merriment
among the courtiers, in which the mon
arch heartily Joined. With the excep-
tion of one maid. tho rest tried to light
their cigars without first cutting off the
end.
Only one succeeded in struggling
through whole cigar, but she had to
be removed in fainting state. The
others refused to smoke more than half
of theirs, to the great annoyance of
the king and his courtiers. s.-Pearson's
Weekly.

TURKEYS ANSWER
In Relation to the Burning Of DR.. Bart
lett's House.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. - CONSTANT.
nople dispatches stating that the burn.
ing of the house Of Rev. DIR. Bartlett,
the American missionary, at Boudour,
Asia Minor, for which prompt repara-
tion has been demanded by the United
States, has been traced to the careless
ness of an American servant, are quite
at variance with representations made
by the American board of commission
ers for foreign missions and transmitted
to the state department, and are also
contradicted by the dispatches received
from Mr.. Pendleton King, the Ameri-
can charge d'affairs at Constantinople.
The experience Of the American lega-
ton in Turkey in the case of numerous
preceding outrages of like character has
been that the facts in each case have
been met by denials from Said Pasha,
the Turkish minister Of justice, some
times in face Of clearest proof and some
plausible excuse, like that in the present
instance has been assigned to explain
away the occurrence.
The present explanation" of the
Bartlett outrage is regarded as a repeti-
tion OF Said Pasha's adroit manouvres
to defeat the ends of Justice and to
shield Moslem offenders against the
treaty rights of christians. It is under
stood that the explanation will not de-
lay the peremptory orders given to the
gunboats Newark and Bennington to
proceed from Genoa to Turkish waters
us soon as possible after the Columbus
celebration of the first instant to sup
port the demand for reparation,

ROCHESTER, Aug, 29.-The startling
story of the wrecking of Hiram w.
Sibley's yacht in Georgian bay and the
drowning of all on board but two turns
out to be untrue The yacht was at
anchor in the harbor of Collingwood,
Ont, and in full view of the telegraph
office, at the time of the sending of the
dispatch announcing the loss. Later
dispatches from Collingwood and Mon
treal leave little doubt that the author
of the cruel hoax was GeorgeW. Shomin,
at Mackinac Island and was afterward
discharged by Mr.. Sibley. He evidently
took this means OF revenging . Ganciel
wrong.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The question
OF corps at the coming encampment of
the q. A. r. in Washington (Which was
very confusing one) has been settled.
The committee on reunions for the COM
ing national encanpment here have de.
vised plan OF holding all the reunions
on the great mall lying between the
White House and the Washington mon
ument. Upon this will be erected
groups of tents for all the old corps of
the army and the navy. There will be
a headquarters tent for each corps, and
in line behind it smaller tents for brig
gades. The corps tents will be distin-
guished by the familiar old corps
badges. Every veteran arriving in this
city will go to his corps headquarters
and there directed to his brigade tent
The classification of the corps mas been
adopted by the committee.

A CHANCE FOR LIFE.
Murderer McNulty Not Hanged, But
Judicially Dead.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-John Nc
Nulty, the murderer, who has been in
the county Jail here for over four years
under sentence of death, is, in the Ian.
guage of Judge Murphy, who sentenced
him, 'judicially dead" and yet he may
never have the rope around his neck.
McNulty was to be hanged on Friday,
but the sheriff's counsel advised that
official not to proceed, us the governors
reprieve did not specify the time for
execution, and that the prisoner must
be brought before Judge Murphy for re-
sentence. The district attorney will
now bring McNnlty before Judge MUIR
phy today. but Judge Murphy, speak
ing unofficially, says; The time of
execution having passed, McNulty, in
contemplation of the law, is judicially
dead. My court is done with him."
If Judge Murphy adheres to this opin-
ion when the matter comes before him
judicially, then there is no power in the
state to punish the murderer, even by
imprisonment, and he will be set free.

PITTsBURa, Aug. 29.-An attempt was

tied to the track by farmer, who set to
work to remove them. While engaged
in doing so he was shot twice, one bull
let entering the hip and the other lodg-
ing in the calf of his leg. He succeeded,
however, in clearing the track, and the
train passed in safety. Two men, Mar.
tin Kounz and William Kerwin, were
arrested on suspicion of being con.
cerned in the affair, but were released
on proving an alibi.
