whose father was Dutch consul at Con- stantinople, and whose mother was an Asiatic Greek, who is one of the clev- crest intriguers in Persia now.
 But I'll wind up by telling about queer Irishman l met in Tiflis, the capital of the Caucasus. This jolly. hare-brained son of Erin was the younger brother of an impoverished Irish lord, and had led a harum- scarum existence, travelling in every country, and living by making debts and win ming at cards. One day, some twenty years ago, his bad luck would have it that he fell into the hands of a coterie of accomplished Russian officers and gamblers-two words which frequently are synonymous-in Tifis, and they fleeced him, even to the extent of win ming all his luggage and personal ef- fleets and holding a note for 5000 rubles from him. Thus the young lrishman-for he was young then was stranded there. His family re- fused to do anything for him, and he has all this time never been able to raise or to earn sufficient money to leave the country. Besides, I believe that he became so acclimated in time that he didn't want to leave. When l made his acquaintance in Tifiis in 1886, he earned very precari- ous livelihood as sort of guide to all the English-speaking tra velers who struck the town. He knew every nook and every notable person in that high ly interesting city, and he was just as irrepressibly jolly and boisterous as ever, and just as good-natured and happy as well.

Preside Cushions

Some most comfortable fireside cush. ions are filled with hair and covered with large squares exactly like Orien' tai rugs. The colors are dark and rich and the coverings will last lifetime, showing wear as little as do the good eastern rugs. Other fireside cushions are covered with corduroy. Embossed leather all of color, or frightened by bronze and gold and silk paints, make rich cushions for libraries and all chairs and seats. The favorite size for down pillows is twenty-four by twenty-four inches, with covering having a ten inch frill set between the edges. The trlli when of soft silk is usually made double, and should have most of the fulness at the corners, and little at tho sides.-N Y. Post

wild mountain tribes there that are for ever rebellious, he promised safe con- duct to the warlike chief of the tribe for the purpose of considering terms of peace. The chief came, but was at once seized at the command of Firouz Mirza, the uncle of the shah, and in- stantly beheaded. Gen. Seminot, be- lieving his military honor irretrievably compromised, committed suicide. The present M. Seminot is the son of this brave soldier and of beautiful Persian slave whom his father had won from Gen. Borowski in game of ecarte. Gen. BorowslSi, too, was quite an original character. A Polish nobleman of ancient lineage, he had lost all save his life in the last great Polish insur- rection, and escaped from Siberia to Persia. He was a splendid soldier, but an inveterate gambler, and while com- manding at the siege of Herab he lost, one night, all his money, valuables and even his beautiful slave to Gen. Sem inot. This grieved him so that next day, while leading the assault on the citadel, he sought death and found it through an Afghan khandjar. Borows- ki's son by that slave looks much like his father, with the same eagle nose and fierce mustache. But there the re- semblance ends. He is great coward, but holds fat office under the Persian government, and is the biggest scoun- drel and usurer ever in Persia. He never touches a card. might also mention Gen. Schindler, of German English descent, and whose life has been an unbroken series of hair-raising adventures; Baron von Staudach, once aide-de-camp to the Austrian emperor, who came to Persia and obtained q generals post after his wild, young son had one night ruined him and dis graced his name during a carousal and a desperate game of cards; Gen.

Aftor Having Made Themselves Impossi- bio In Their Native Lands, They Sought aud Found Honor and Fame in
 the Countries of the East.
Especial Letter.


 One of the most interesting types all through the orient is the European ad- venturer. The species is not entirely unknown in this country, but the enor- nous differences in manners, institu- tions and customs between those ob- taining here and there produce entire ly different results. The European of shady antecedentS and worm-eaten morality who arrives in this country with the expectation of amassing wealth within few years by swindling devices, nearly always develops into an ordinary bunco steerer or "con" man, and in that capacity finds his way into our penal institutions. He dis covers, too late, the soil of America was not adapted to his growth and blossom. It is otherwise in the orient. The past life of European stranded in those benighted lands is not in- quired into, and If he but be man of smooth address, of ready wit and quick resources, the way to rapid promotion and phenomenal success lies open to him. At home he might have ended breaking stone in jail yard, in the orient he may become the right hand of potentate and grow enormously rich besides. l had occasion to become acquainted with number of cases of this kind-more or less illustrative of the above Xplanations-and some of them, as curiously depicting the wide livergencies in thought and life be- tween western and those eastern peo- pie, may prove interesting.
 Turkey, above all, is still the par adise of Europeans of education that have made a mess of their lives at home. The number of those who have risen to exalted positions there is enor- nous. Their identity, of course, is thinly disguised under a Turkish alias, which they had to adopt on becoming renegades. But they may be found in influential positions in every sphere of Turkish governmental life-in the financial administration, in the army and navy, in the custom service, etc. Hobart Pasha, the Englishman whose fraternal relations to great noble l man did not save his neck from dis | grace and dismissal from the British service on account of a cowardly as sauit on poor girl, became a Turkish admiral - finally without a fleet, though.

MYSTERY CLEARED UP,
G. W. Read, His Child and Miss Scott Died
 of Asphyxlation.

of Asphyxlation.
 INDEPENDENCE, Kan, Jan. 11.-A satisfactory solution has been reached in the Read mystery. Yesterday after noon Mrs. F.. l.. Foster, a daughter of Reads and Mrs. E. P. Allen were at the house where the accident occurred, collecting together and packing some family effects, when Mrs. Foster be- came suddenly overcome and tainted Mrs. Allen ran for assistance and Mrs. Roster was carried to a neighboripg house. She soon recovered, but ex- hibited the same symptoms that characterized the condition of Mrs Read, the only survivor of the tragedy.
 This incident led to a renewed inves- tigatiOn of the causes of the deaths of Read and his son and Miss Scott Three dogs and one cat were confined in the house and the natural gas fires lighted. After about four hours Imprisonment each of the animals were seized at about the same time with spasms and convulsions very similar to those pro- duced by poison.
 Persons who were Investigating on top of the house found that no current of warm air issued from the chimney connecting with the sitting room stove before which Read was found dead, and that it was entirely choked. From the other flue very hot and powerful cur rent ascended. The deaths were un- doubtedly caused by asphyxiation from carbonic acid gas, a deadly component of natural gas which was not consumed by the stove, and therefore had no means of escape.

FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.

Minority Report of the Senate Committee
 on Privileges and Elections.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 Senators Chandler, Hoar, Mitchell, of Oregon, and Higgins, constituting the repub- lican minority of the senate committee on privileges and elections, presented their report to the senate on the bill to repeal the federal election laws late yesterday afternoon. The report be- gins with reference to the effort to pass the election bill in 1889, and an outline of the provisions of that bill, which they say became the object of great popular clamor, and was defeated by the solid vote of the representatives of one political party, aided by a very small number of the members of the other.
 Ut is not likely" they continue, "that this particular measure will ever be revived, but" they say, 'the ques- tion which is now raised is a wholly different one. It is proposed to over- throw all the existing provisions of na- tional legislation for securing honesty in elections for members of the national house of representatives. These pro- visions were largely for the se- curity of elections in northern cities The laws now in force were passed chiefly in consequence of frauds and crimes which had been committed by the democratic party in the city of New York, under the leadership of William M Tweed and his associates, and those laws commended themselves alike to his republican opponents and to many respectable and judicious dem- OcrafS n
