He gave nod of satisfaction, closed the

then, with more geniality than he had yet
shown, opened conversation about my

Gordon and Mr.. Pelham returned.

CoNsrASTINoPLE, Nov. 2l.--For several
years the number of female physicians in
Turkey has been increasing. notwithstand-
ing the fact that Turkish laws refused to
recognize them as Legitimate practitioners.
Foremost among them have been The
American missionaries. They have, how
ever, been greatly hanpercd by the fact
that they could not secure regular Turk
ish diplomas, and the various foreign em.
bassies have been very earnest in their ef-
forts to gain for them official recognition.
Hitherto they have failed entirely, but at
last Turkish conservatism has yielded,
and to the American embassy belongs the
honor of securing what neither Russian,
French, British or German ambassadors
could gain.

men, says that one OF the men, calling
himself Howard b. Johns, accompanied
by man he introduced as "Mr. Atkin-
son." had called to see Mr.. Wilkins on
Saturday, but without success.
When the men called again Yesterday
Johns explained that both Mr.. Sweigard
and Mr.. Voorhees, had turned him down."
and he now wanted to get even with them.
His own words were: I'VE will do any
thing the committee may ask, from de-
stroying bridge to blowing up n round
house." The men were then ordered from
the room.
In speaking OF his talk with Johns on
Saturday, Mr.. Hannohan said:
"He told me that he had rendered valu
able assistance in defeating tho knights
of Labor at their Port Richmond strike,
and was also employed against the Knights
some years ago on the New York Central
strike, for which services he was madeas
sistant trainmaster on the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad at Reading"
Thomas Allen said that he recognized
Johns as the man who appeared rs IA wit
ness in n bribery case here two weeks ago,
and under oath stated that he vas q de.
tective in the employ OF one Of the large
agencies of the country.
Mr.. wilkins would not discuss the case
further than to say that Johns was only
carrying out the program his employers
had laid down for him to follow, and that
IL the committee had agreed 90 accept the
proposition all hands would now have
been under arrest.
Acting General Manager Theodore Voor-
bees returned from Bethlehem, where he
had been in consultation with President
Wilbur, Of the Lehigh Valley railroad.
In reference to the strike. Mr. Voorhees,
said that President Wilbur was confident
i the present difficulties would not last
more than two or three days, as plenty OF
unemployed workmen were to be had
He said that a number of engineers, fire
men and trainmen, both from here and
Jersey City, had left Philadelphia for
Bethlehem. He had received word from
the trainmaster at Bethlehem not to send
any more men from Philadelphia, as he
had enough there to work with.
Mr.. Voorhees, said that passenger trains
were moving with but little delay, and
| that some coal trains were running be-
tween Atuuch Chunk and Bethlehem. He
asserted that all the telegraph offices of
the company were manned, and that only
thirty-two of the 800 operators joined the
strike.
| Vice President Garrett is very confident
that il will be but short time until all
the trains will be running on time.
Grand Chief II. II. Clark, of the Brother
hood of Hallway Conductors, arrived at
the Bingham House from Chicago last
evening. Said he: This trouble is not of
recent origin. II has existed on he Le-
high Valley system for years. In fact,
believe there is not road in the country
where the conductors have been so badly
treated or so poorly paid as on the l.ehigh

"The republicans of the North are all tarff
robbers says the Southern exchange. We
trust that all the democrats of the South will
not turn out to be train robbers, but it must
be admitted that ninety per cent of the train
rObbing of the country is carried on by demo-
crats.-New York Morning Advertiser.
While it is true that train robbers are
democrats in democratic districts and
republicans in republican districts, it is
also true that the republican party has
looted the general government for years
and years. The democratic party con
Victs democratic train robbers when it

As TO THE START.

Tn small! debtor who owes less than $50 has
a potent Influence upon the financial condi-
ton of the country. If all of him would pay
up, the retail merchant would be able to meet
his obligation TO the joI Der, who in turn could
then satisfy the importer. The banks would
not be called upon for such heavy loans, in
terest would come down, money would seek
investment, real es' ate would be in greater
demand, new enterprises would be inaugur-
ated, the demand for labor would be Increased
and times would be goOd. A great deal thus
depends upon the SIN .ller debtor class
Omaha Bee.
But as TO the start. The small debtor
is the fellow who can start the wheels
in motion provided he has the where
withalac 0 h up. The small amount
perhaps five or ten dollars is scarce to
him, and the numberless five and tens
are not coming in. And in these strin
gent times almost a panic, why does not

to all classes, that the credit system is

THE sANGUINAkY CONFLICT.

The report reaches US with undoubted
authenticity, that COLONEL PROFESSOR
SHEPPE and COLONEL PROFESSOR BRIT
TON, the party of the first part living in
Durham and the party of the second part
living and having his being and trunk at
Roxboro,> almost met in deadly conflict
at Morehead. 1t seemed the purpose of
COLONEL BRITTON to put Morehead on
COLONEL SHEPPE. SHEPPE had written
something or it was supposed that he
had written something which reflected
upon the management of the said BRIT
TON, and BRITToN-being something of
a britton himself concluded that death
alone would atone for the base and foul
Observation-Disclosures that may OF may
not mean.
Our informant says that COLONEL
SHEPPE was met at the depot by BRITTON
and was asked by the said BRITTON if he
had any word to send to his friends.
SHEPPE replied that when he had com,
pleted his frolicSthat be would send his
own word. Whereupon, says our infor-
mant, BRITToN violently seized SHEPPE
by the standing collar and did cause the
said collar to lie down. Whereupon sec
ondly: The said SHEPPE did seize the
said BRITToN and chewed his neck in
divers and sundry places; that he ex-
torted from him a dying confession in
which the said BRITTON expressed regret
for his folly and otherwise apolOgized.
Whereupon thirdly The said BRITToN
did challenge the said SHEPPE to deadly
combat; and whereas, the said SHEPPE
did accept the challenge and did name as
his weapons schythes and pistuals-and
had it not been for the interference of
friends both gentlemen would have been
annihilated.
The story is sad in its recital, and we
hope to see COLONEL SHEPPE come home.
COLONEL BRITTON at this writing should
doubtless be placed in irons.

AS TO THE BUMME RS.

They are after the fraudulent pensioners.
A list comprising the names of a number of
pensioners recommended by COMMISSIONER
to be dropped from the pension
rolls has been handed to HOKE
SMITH, and he has approved the re commenda-
lions. 1t has been found u~ponlsZesti cation
by the pension bureau that the pensioners
named in the list are not entitled to draw pen
siOns. Among them are the names Of eleven
men now drawing pensions, while the records
of the war department show cOnclusively that
they were deserters from the army and are
still deserters at large.-Charlotte News.
Well, this is no news. THE GLOBE two
years ago pointed out the crowd of bum
mers, sneaks, frauds and dead beats. 1t
claimed that they were on the pension
rolls, and it can prove it. Some of the
men who draw large pensions from the
are men who never received a scar in
battle and who never were disabled. The
The New York Morning Advertiser
wants some paper to name a single man.
But that's all buncombe. We want to
name one man, however, who has re.
ceived and who now receives a very lib
eral pension. That is SENATOR CHARLES
F. MANDERsON, of Nebraska-president
pro tenn of the United States senate-the
man who occupies the seat held by JOHN
A. LOGAN.
We want some one to tell us what is
the matter with him. What was the
matter with him-and hen further ex
plain why he should draw a pension. 1t
will be remembered that his friends made
him disgOrge the back pay which he re.
ceived. He is a living picture of manly
.health-yet he claims and for years has
drawn a pension. His claim is unques-
tionably fraudulent Yet he is a big gun
and he simply rakes his pay and grunts
once a month. But there are thousands
and the frauds will be unearthed, now
that lIOKE SMITH has gone at the bust
ness in dead earnest.

SO TRUE.

The tende rose bush of love cannot put
forth it's bud, and blossom into richest bloom
when its pregnant runk is embarked with the
chilling SHOWS of cold Indifference, and neither
can it send forth its sweet and delightful fra
ing around it, with their freezing embrace. 1t
must needs have the soft, wOOing breezes Of
encouragement to whisper around it, and the
balmy sunbeams of cheer to battle it, and then
will burst the pregnant bud in glorious life,
and a fragrance as sweet as the doors which
perfume Paradise will trickle from its bloom

tears of slap-up sadness, and the bully boy

AS ART DECLINES.
The Atlanta Journal says /:

i he AIIduld JOuTudI says
The tights and skirts of Dor ZELNo, the
famous lady ~aerOnaut, which were levied on
some time ago by BAILIFF BaOYLEs of JUS
TICE ORR's court, were yesterday sold at pub
lie cutlery by the bailiff. TIL lady had been
given every possible chance to secure the re
lease of her goods, but she failed 60 do SO, and
as yesterday was court day, they had to be
sold. She valued her goods at $500, but they
brought only $1.35, and were sold to a negro
woman, who says she will use them as skirts
for her children.
And thus perishes from the earth the
tights worn by a wonderful woman who
did wonderful feats. When the war
drobe of SHAKESPEARE sold for 100000,
that was an age of art. But in Atlanta,
the state Of Georgia and the home of
statesmen of new schOol-the place where
WEAVER and Mrs. LEASE were egged
and from where HoKE SMITH was evolved
well, down there they allow a woman's
underclOthes to be sold at auction and
let them go at one thirty-tive. Can this
be because of the stringency or degerer--
ton of the times? 1t strikes us and
strikes us hard that as a general PROPOSE
ton the chivalry of Georgia is getting
about as thin as the gauze tights when a
Woman's garments are sold at the cOurt
house at public auction for such a small
sum. Where were the bald headed pen
SiOners?
