therefore, seen by any one. He was
never married. and. until by stress OF
i'll health and consequent helplessness he
was forced 10 employ some one TO cook
for him. he had done all his housework
himself. He was not the least depend
ont for the necessaries Of life, as he not
only owned property Of value, but had
always some ready cash. II Is said that
he never spoke OF his relatives, If he had
any. His funeral occurred Wednesday,

that horrible tortures were inflicted upon
the few prisoners taken during the massa-
ere IN the Sassoun District In August and
September OF 1894. That these fortunes
were repeated upon the Constantinople
Armenians is more than probable.
The prisons are all simply places Of de-
tention. where prisoners or convicts can
be kept more or less securely. No at
tempt is ever made to reform n criminal.
There Is no such thing as reformatory
institution in all Turkey, Asiatlc or Eu-
ropean. The result of the lack OF prison
system r. that all Turkish convicts upon
being released from prison after a term
are more hardened In crime than when
first convicted.
In the provinces the prisons are even
worse than In the cities. Sexes are kept
partially separated in theory. In the
strictly male prisons in tho larger Turk
ish cities there are separate apartments
for prisoners awaiting trial, for those I'M
der sentence and for prisoners inprison-
ed for debt. In the female prisons this
IL not the case. so that woman or good
character imprisoned for debt may be
thrown into the same ward with women
of the most depraved habits.
The food furnished to the prisoners Is
absolutely inadequate. II consists OF Just
two pounds OF black bread a day. IL a
prisoner has friends he or she may re-
ceiye a food supply from them. but IL not
the prisoners can starve to death for all
the Sultan Of the Turks cares.
TORTURE a SCIENCE.
Torture In the prisons is a science.
Executioners delighted I'm finding out ex-
actly how much pain could be inflicted
without destroying lie. 1t was also a
matter of study to find out Just how much
pain a person could undergo without
collapsing. SO that no more torture could
be as painfully administered again.
IL IL a conceded fact that the present
mode of execution in Turkey Is by be-

I'm Constantinople, but they are so badly
organized and managed that they are
of little or no use. The people seldom
think of calling upon them for aid, ana
even If they did the solitary gendarme
would not think of venturing into
place of danger until he has been rein
forced by numbers of his comrades.
Years ago the Constantinople policeman
was picturesque. and that Is about all
Until a comparatively short time ago

the city in daytime except near the great
bazaars, where rows between buyer ana
seller sometimes occurred. In those days
the police always walked about at night
in threes and fours. Even although
armed with a long gun and sword, a
single policeman would not endanger MINI
self by doing patrol duty unaccompamed.
Later, an alleged improvement was made,
when little stations were erected in differ
ent sections of the city at intervals OF
every half mile or so. When help was
needed some one had TO run to one OF
these stations and IL there was any dan
ger of attack the officer summoned would
wait for achievements before going 10
the scene of action. At night time the po-
liceman was always asleep in the STA
ton.
IGNORED BY THE SULTAN.
The young Sultan fully appreciates the
utter worthlessness of the system when
he gives his subjects. lie has no faith
in IL. The ConstantinOple policeman Is
not tolerated about the palace. Instead
he has two regiments Of soldiers stationed
there to guard him. One OF these Is COM
posed of black Nubians, and the other
of white Albanians. They regard each
other with all the intensity OF racial
hatred and he shrewdly trusts to this
rivalry for the surest promotion OF his
own safety. This in itself Is a fine COM
mentary upon the police system of Con-
stantinople.
But, while the police are an abominable
lot, the prisons OF Constantinople. and
of all Turkey, for that matter. are IN
finitely worse. The TWO principal prisons
Of the empire are located at Adrianople
and at Erzoum. In COnstantinople there
are five prisons, but all OF them small
affairs. the most imposing being situated
on the Place d'Hippodrome. 1t was In
the latter that many OF the arrested
Armenians captured during the recent
riots were placed, and a few of them
may be there still. although the chances
of any of them being alive now are ex-
ceedingly remote.
The prison system OF Turkey is n dis
grace 10 the civilized world. The suffer-
ings pictured by Hugo of Jean Vatican
as a galley slave were thrills Of paradise
compared with the cruel agonies infict-
