tee on campaign literature. After the
inauguration of Cleveland in 1893 Mr..
Quincy was rendered the position of as
Bistant secretary of state, which lie at
first declined, but when it was shown
10 him that his acceptance would graft
fly the president and serve the party
he yielded so far as to enter the office
temporarily for the purpose of re-or-
ganizing the consular service on the
line of ideas entertained in common by
President Cleveland and himself. The
object having been achieved at the end
Of six months he resigned and turned
his attention to business and profess
sional interests. He IS largely inter-
asted in two important suburban elec-
trio railways, TO the management OF
which he gives personal attention. He
is unmarried. He was the democratic
candidate for mayor year ago, and
was then defeated by Mr.. Curtis, the
unsuccessful candidate this year.

Dug the Church Out.

The Rev. John Wharton of Stanmore,
Westmorland, is vicar of one of the
smallest and most elevated churches
Of England The Church of st. Stephen
nestles in the mountains 953 feet above
sea level. In summer the church is
often we'll filled by tourists bit in win
ter, when great drifts lie in the valleys,
the vicar is gratified when he has a
congregation of three or four. One
Sunday morning, after a severe snow
storm. the vicar, feeling assured that
the church would be buried in snow,
rose before dawn, and started out for
the church with a spade on his shout
der. His expectations were fully real
lied. The church was hidden under an
immense drift. He set to work, and.
after three hours steady labor, man
aged to find the door Of the edifice. Mr..
Wharton not only tides up the church,
but rings his own service bell, plays
his own harmonium, and, when occa-
occasion requires it, lights the church
fires.

SAID PASIfA.

May Said was summarily dismissed
from tho premiership. The sultan felt
that he had been restricted by the in
dependence of judgment and decision
of character of the first minister he
easily persuaded himself, when Said's
firmness in defending the interests or
Turkey brought him into collision with
the cabinets of Europe. that his vigor-
GUS but simple minister was lacking in
the right qualities, and that he could
guide the foreign policy more ably HIM
self. The succeeding first minister,
Abdurrahman Pasha, was known as an
efficient and honest provincial governor
in Asia, but without experience in
European diplomacy. During his brief
tenure of Office the intercourse was en-
tirely between the embassies and the
palace through the roundabout chan
neis to which Said Pasha had skillfully
accommodated himself without allow
ing his functions to be superseded.
When, after few weeks, Abdurrahman
asEcu to be relieved, the statesman to
whom the sultan turned insisted upon
the cessation of palace interference, and
he was finally constrained to recall
Said Pasha, vino was reappointed grand
vizicr in the second week of July. His
first step on resuming office was to adj
rise cooperation with Europe for the
purpose of securing the settlement of
the Egyptian difficulties in the hands
of Turkey. The sultan, under the in
fuence of the palace party, failed to
follow the advice, but after it was too
late endeavored to repair his blunler.
At the end of November a conspiracy
to kill or depose Abdul Hamid was re-
ported to him, and in the panic which
ensued the ministry was dismissed, and
for several days all the members of it
were held under suspicion. Achmet
Vefyk, former grand vizier, whom
Said Pasha had few weeks before dis
missed from the governorship of Brous-
So for disobedience, was appointed to
succeed him as premier. But two days
afterward Said was again recalled, and
the former ministers, including Nah
mud Nedim, minister of the interior,
Said's enemy, whose intrigues caused
his dismissal both times, was reap

Weighing Common Air.

The weight of cir has often been
tested by COMPRISING it in recepta-
cles by the air pump. That it really
has weight when so compressed is
shown by the fact that the weight of
the vessels is increased slightly in ill
Ing them with compressed air. and
that such vessels become specifically
lighter as soon as the air contained in
them is exhausted. Many elaborate
experiments on tbe weight Of air have
proven that one c;i5ic foot weighs $50
grains, or so'c<rhing less than one
md one-orarrer ounce. The expert
nent OF me weight Of air is supposed
10 be made at the surface OF tho
Earth with the temperature at 20 deg.
Fahrenheit. Heated air. or air at high
elevations, Is much lighter.

father, Josiah Quincy. was chosen TO
the office, and reelected for three con-
secutive terms. The present mayor
was born in Quincy in 1859, in
heriting little besides good health and
an honored name. He graduated from
Harvard college il 1880, and immedi-
ately began teaching in the Adams
academy of his native town, of which
DR.. William Everett was at the time
the head. 4 year later he went to Eu-
rope, and spent some time in travel,
after which he took law course at
Harvard and was admitted to practice
in 1884. His first active participation
in politics was as q member of the COM
mittec Of one hundred, which led tMe
independent movement for Cleveland
against Blaine in 1881. In 1885 he was
elected to the lower house of the Massa-
chusetts legislature as a democrat and
served for three years, declining the
fourth nomination in order to make an
unsuccessful fight for congress against
Elijah A. Morse in a strong republican
district. In 1889 he was again sent to
the legislature and was reelected in
| 1890. That year he became secretary
of the democratic state committee, the
next year chairman of the executive
! committee, and in 1892 he served as
| chairman of the full state committee,
conducting canvass OF exceptional
strength. In 1892 he was a delegate to
the democratic national convention,
and was chosen by his colleagues torep-
resent the state on the national commit
tee. He was subsequently made a
member of the executive committee of
that body and chairman Of the commit

SAID PASHA.
The New President of the Tu -kish Coun.
Gil OF State.


Said Pasha, president OF the Turkish
council Of state, has more than once
fallen under the sultan's dspleasure.
In 1881, while occupying the office OF
grand vizier, he endeavored to obtain
the sultan's consent to program of re-
form which would rescue the admins
tration from the degeneration result
ing from the interference of the cor
rupt retainers of the palace, restore the
porte to its functions as the exponent
of the internal and foreign policy and
regain the respect of Europe by con-
sistent external policy and progressive
internal improvements, including the
Armenian reforms provided for in the
treaty of Berlin. Said's protest against
the sultan's irregular methods, in which
he had before pliantly acquiesced, was
provoked by the action of the sultan
in the Russian indemnity negotiations
in concluding arrangements with the
Russian minister through palace Of
fetal without the participation of the
porte in any way. Said Pasha was sub
sequently called into consultation, when
he offended the sultan by protracting
the negotiations. AT the beginning OK

SAYS LUCK GOES WITH 1T.
GrewsOmc Substitute for the Raba
bits Foot Among sports.

Among people of sporting, gambling
and speculative tendencies the ] lbbit's
foot was at one time considered the
talisman Of luck and good fortune.
The foot ball player, the base bal
man, the devOtee of the turf, the care
player. the Spectator on change. the
crap shooter and the patrons of policy
and pool rooms considered themselves
sure winners when in possession of the
pedal OF the long e2rcd animal. Now
the rabbit foot has been shelved by
those whose superstition leads them to
adopt some sort of token to invoke
luck, and they have taken to a really
grewsome article. 1t is nothing more
or less than the little finger of col
ored woman. After death the little
finger is amputated from the right
hand at the second joint, after which
it is treated TO chemicals to harden
and cure the flesh, and when it has be-
come sufficiently dried it is carried in

women who cultivate the fad and who
carry it in a little silver case made
especially for the purpose.

flag 10 men who have fought under f.;
they know as no one else does the mag

man who has never seen the Stars ana
Stripes when smirched by the smoke Of

significance Of our national emblem.

any other piece of bunting, hut is not a
mother more than mere female? It
