Turks made breach, but the defenders
under the eye Of Constantine drove them
out and followed beyond the walls. The
emperor was so excited that he wanted to

but the imperial suite and guard kept him
back.
The Turks succeeded in battering down
the main tower at the Roman gate at the
end of six weeks cannonade In front of
another gate they rolled up an immense
wooden tower, armured with layers of
bulls hide. Secreted in the tower, the
Turkish archers shot down the Greeks by
hundreds. Constantine and Justinianl
grappled with these two evils in one night,
and to the amaZement Of the sultan his
wooden tower was burned to the ground

There are probably $50 schools for cook
ing in Germany and Austria, the best of
which are at Vienna, Berlin and Leipsic.
A man who wishes to become a chef must
begin at the very bottom of the ladder-at
peeling potatoes-and work up, round by
round, to the top, y course of schooling AS
strict as that of any polytechnic school in
this country must be followed for four
years before the student can get diploma.
Every year competitive exhibitions are Civ
en-, in which as many as 200 chefs take part.
The chef who was employed at the White
House by Grover Cleveland during his first
term has gold medal which was presented
to him by the Empress Frederick for excel
lence in cooking, a silver medal given by
the king of SaXony, diploma from the
empress of Austria, and numerous other
marks of appreciation and honor won in
competitive contests in cooking. -London

The wealthy Siamese, including the king,
practically turn night into day. All inn
portant political meetings are held in the
night, and o'clock in the morning is the
hour at which Bangkok fashionables retire
until 4 o'clock the succeeding afternoon.
There is II semi-European theater in Bang
kok. which was erected by one Of the pres
ent kings predecessors, and there are plenty
of outdoor theatrical performances by ma
tives, the Siamose being a pleasure loving
people and fond of all sorts of entertain
ments.
The worst thing that can happen to a
man in Siam is to get into debt, from which
there is never any escape, owing to the ex-
orbitant interest charged. Once in debt
there is no appeal, the debtor being stripped
of his clothes and compelled to work in fet-
tiers, generally for the rest of his life, to pay
the interest. Drunkards are not permitted
80 give evidence in the law courts of Siam.
The Buddhist priests, clad in yellow
robes, are to be seen everywhere in Bang
kok, and it is quite common for young men
to enter the priesthood, which affords them
an easy and luxurious existence, owing tC
the liberality of the populace toward any
one sanctified to the service of Buddha.-

their duty was to cut down in cold blood
every man who shirked his duty or turned
back from an assault.

had posted their choicest soldiers

Not alone women and children, but men
rushed into the street, beating their breasts

The smallest Turkish cannon balls

the largest known to the Greeks. How

time, about o o'clock one evening" there
was n sudden clash of cymbals, a crash OF

along the Turkish camp, and dark masses
of warriors leaped with frantic shouts to-

of guns, the clang Of arms and cries of
fighting men made an answering din,
which the screams Of terrified women and
children within the city swelled to roar
like thunder.
The Turks reached the moat and even the
glacis, but were beaten off at midnight aft
er a most horrible slaughter that filled the

All the departments Of the works
of the PENNSYLVANIA Steel Company
were in operation last week, being
the first full week made for several
months. The shipments for last
week were large and everything is
pushed forward as rapidly as COM
pleted. The Republican county
convention met at Harrisburg last
Tuesday and nominated E. NJ. Warn
er of Lebanon, for Congress; S. S.
Page, w. Ii G Keene and John NJ.
Hergy for the Legislature. All
these candidates have to do is to
wait for their majorities which is
certain Arrangements are being
made by the school directors for
opening the public schools on the
first Monday in Sept, There is 35
schools in the borough-3l white
and colored. There is 1000
scholars. The Lutheran Church
which has been built at a cost of
$4,000 was dedicated on the 5th
inst. Several new dwelling houses
are being built in town.. The
motor lines have done an extensive
business during the last month,
carrying passengers to picnics..
The minority in the democratic
party i'll this place is growing less
every day from the way many demo
Gratis express themselves, conse-
quently the republican majority will
be larger. This county is good for
1000 majority for Hastings, and if
Mr.. Cleveland and his Congress
keeps on in their evil ways l will
say $4,000. The parties in this
place that set up a ticket at the
spring election, to oppose the Steel
Company, have found out to their
sorrow that it is a bad thing to
monkey with buzz.saw after their
heads are cut off. They did not
have the courage to offer any op-
position at the late primary election,
however, much they desired to do
so. D.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL.
At o'clock tonight the Senate
tariff bill unchanged, unamended.
untouched, was passed by the House,
and the measure now awaits only
the signature of the President or
his failure to sign it within ten
days, to be enacted into law. 1t
was passed according to the pro-
gram arranged yesterday and rati,
fed at caucus of Democrats this
morning.
The caucus met at 10 o'clock and
adjourned at noon, with the UNDER
standing that the Senate bill and a
separate measures placing coal. su-
gar, iron ore and barbed wire on the
free list, should be put through the
House before adjournment, but an
unexpected obstacle was et counter
ed in the absence from Washington
of Mr.. Cultivate, of Ohio, Demo
cratic member of the Committee on
Rules whose presence was necessary
to enable the committee TO bring in
special order for carrying out the
caucus arrangements. Mr.. Outh
waite, who was absent on account
OF illness in his family, appeared
however, at 2 o'clock, and a few
minutes later the Committee on
Rules reported the special order and
the House entered on one of the
greatest days in its history. The
special rule was agreed to after a
short debate.
Then the Senate bill was debated
for two hours, and after counter
accusations by the Republicans and
Democrats and severe arraignments
of the majority by several of it's
own members, the bill was passed
by vote OF Isl TO los. A number
of Democrats voted against the bill
while the Populists supported the
majority. There was much APP
plause when the troublesome meas
ure was finally out of the way.
Then the separate bills placing
coal, iron ore, barbed wire and su,
gar on the free list, were taken up
in the order named and passed,
after debate of half an hour on each
and was probably the biggest day in
the history of the House, from the
standpoint of work accomplished,
came to an end.
