In the Turkish village on Midway
plaisanoe there is q muezzin named Dire
mar Effendi, priest, very jealous in the
performance of his religious duties.
Yesterday afternoon he was arrested on
charge Of disorderly conduct and Civ.
en- q ride in the patrol wagon to Wood.
lawn station.
The trouble arose from growing dis.
position on the part of the Turks to treat
the duties of their religion with indiffer.
ence. When Drenar Effendi called the
Turks to prayer yesterday afternoon
they did not respond with what seemed
to him proper amount Of alacrity, and
incensed at their slowness he seized O
club and began to beat them over the
head. This attracted large crowd al
once, and q guard arrested the priest.
By the time he reached the station the
Turks began to bevery much frightened
at the thought of their priests being
locked up like common criminal in q
Christian Jail, so delegation was sent
over to Woodlawn to bail him out in
time for the sunset service, attendance
upon which was secured by moral sua
sion instead Of club.-Chicago News

Color photography has attracted much
attention during the past year or Is
months, and the experiments in that line
have been startlingly successful. Pro
fessors Lippmann and Yogel are the pio-
neers in this branch Of the Photographic
art, and both are enthusiastic over re-
cent results. Lippmann's investigations
have proven that on layer Of albumen
he could take brilliant photographs Of
the spectra, nor was it necessary to
bring out the colors one at time by q
laborious application of specially pre-
pared chemicals. On the contrary, they
all came out at once, even red, and that,
too, without the interpretation Of colored
screens. In letter to society Of pho
tographers Mppmann says: Announce
the most wonderful discovery Of the age.

A rare flower can be seen in the gar.

west section of the public square, 1t i:
yucca gloriosa, commonly known a:
glorious Adams needle, and it is stated
this is the first time the plant has
bloomed for 80 or 40 years. Fears are
entertained that the blossom may Kill
tho plant, and an effort will be made tc
preserve 1t. An authority on botanical
subjects says that the yucca can be seer
to best advantage by moonlight while in
bloom.
As the yucca grows old the lowermost
foliage decays, leaving a thick bare
stalk; in fact, giving the stalk quite an
arborescent character. Its height is ex-
tremely variable; it's age before flower
ing also varies from 8 to 10 years, and its
subsequent intervals are quite uncertain.
The flowers are white and bell shaped,
and are Al cluster at the end Of q long

The Philadelphia Press. referring to
the silver contest and tho financial
troubles OF the country. very properly
says there are certain facts to be dis
tinctly remembered. One Of the faots
Is that in the last Congress the Re-
publican majority Of the Senate FL.
nance COMMITTEES consisted OF Sena-
tors Morrill,, Sherman. Allison, Aldrluh,
Hiscook and Jones OF Nevada, every
one of whom, except Jones, was right
on the silver question. In the present
Congress the Democrat majority con-
slsts OF Senators Voorhees,, Vest, Vance,
Harris, MCPHERSON and Jones OF Ar
kansas, every one OF whom except Nc
Pherson has been wrong on the silver
question, and In favor OF free and un-
limited coinage. Ths Re publicans all
right except one. and the Democrats
allwrong except one, that Is the re.
cord.
Another fact to be remembered is
that when we pass from the Finance
Committee to the whole body. the
division is Of the same general char
. acter. A majority OF the Republican
Senators have always been opposed to
free coinage. always In favor OF honest
money, and stand to-day for the un
conditional repeal Of the silver pur
chase requirement A iarge majority
OF the Democrats. on the other hand
have been openly for free coinage,
, and, according to all authorities, 1
majority are still opposed to the re
peal OF the silver purchase provision
except on conditions.
A third fact to be remembered ie
: that President Cleveland rightly ant
fairly describes the Sherman law q
a truce. after long struggle. be
tween the advocates Of free silve
coinage and those intending to b
more conservative" who were 9TH
advocates Of free silver coinage"
shown by the fact that at the YER
time the Sherman bill was passed tn
: Democrats OF the House voted l0i TO
|, FREQ coinage and 10 against it, Will
r the Democrats Of the Senate voted
Tor free coinage and against 1t.
A fourth md loading fact is. that th
: Harrison administration ran from Jul
IA, 1890 to March 4. 1893. under tn
Sherman law. During those 81 month.
Q under the command OF the law, 1t pul
8 chased silver to the value of abou
Q $40, 900, 900, and there was no PAM,

, and within four months the panic wa
Q upon US. During that time the pul
l. chase Of silver had not exceeded OIL;
q 00O 600. Is it rational to suppose thG
II where s13o. 600. 600 had been purchase
}. without trouble, the addition Of onl
/ SIS 900, 900 made a panic? The difre
a ence was in the manner of consttuin

A Temperance Mans Awful Experience.

There was an utter collapse of u
Springfield man visiting the Worlds
fair recently. He went into one of the
Chicago hotels and innocently called for
a bottle of apollinaris water, ONLY to be
told in whitening tones by the clerk,
evidently fresh importation from a
blue ribbon district, that that was a
strictly temperance house, and no intnx-
licating liquors We're kept. And the de-
PRAYED Massachusetts citizen felt that
the best thing he could do was to come
home and take the Kelley cure.-Spring.
