The brothers had returned home and
both had been unsuccessful in their
search.
Sydney was not to have the appoint
ment for which he had last applied,
aud Tony had again been unable to OBJ
ain any information concerning the
seal from which, ut first, he had hoped
so much.
Both entered their grandmOther's
presence with the most cheerful looks
it was now possible to them to as
sumo.
But while Sydney'S was Il very sorry
attempt at cheerfulness. Tony's face
wore IL pleased expression which might
readily have deceived more SCrutiniZ-

as 10 the true feeling at his heart.
And besides, Mrs. Willoughby had
bad an accident with her SpectacleS,
which was the cause that Tony now
produced and presented to her a new
pair which he had bought for her.
Mrs. Willoughby said that Tony was
n dear. considcrate boy, and so. indeed,
he was.
"Will they do gra'mOther?" inquired
Tony, as he fixed the glasses to the old
lady's nose.

why the Sultan of Turkey Does Not Want


The incident which led TO the order
for the extinction OF the Turkish navy
was as follows, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. 4 transport was bringing a
number of time-eXpired men home,
when they respectfully mutinied. and
begged their officers to go below, as
they wished to do something which
might not be approved of. Some non
commissioned officers then took COM
mand. and anchored off the palace. and,
after firing a salute. began shouting:
Long live the sultan"
This demonstration caused immcdi-
ate confusion at tie palace, and various
high officers were dispatched TO parley
with the mutineerS. but they insisted
on seeing the minister. and when he at
last appeared they said they knew the
sultan had given the money 10 pay
them, but they had not received il, and
they would not budge until they did.
No arguments were Of any avail, and
the money had to be sent for and dis
tributed, after which the men weighed
anchor with n cheer. and gave up the
ship again The sultan. however. re-
hectcd that what a transport had done

THE BANK OF FRANCE.
A Discussion That WIN Arise on the Qges-
tiOn OF Renewing the Charter.

The subject of renewing the priv
ileges OF the Bank Of France will short
~ come up for discussion in the chm
Der, after having been in nbeyaucc
since 1892, when the senate approved a
bill for the purpose.
That bill, saas the Edinburgh Scots,
man, has not since been modified, ami
the provisions included in il will. it is
thought, be adopted without material
alteration. One of them, which was
70 empower the bank to increase its
note issue from 3,5OO,Ooo, oOOf. to H.
0Oo,oOO, OO0f., was passed as far back
as 1898. The charter expires on De-
cember 81, 1895, and the proposal is to
extend il for further period of 20
years from that date, in consideration
OF the ha.n!S making certain concessions
to the state. fzfz-ss-' r-gSiI '.F.
Among these concessions is one by
which the bank is TO forego all future
interest on the government debt
amounting TO l40.000,0U0f., and not
TO demand repayment OF the capital So
long as the charter is in force. The
bank is 70 undertake the service of the
national debt and transact other bust
ness for the Treasury, both AT the head
Office and branches, Tree of charge, and
make an appual payment to. the latter
of 2,0OO,O0Gf, during the first year

The Yale students have adopted a
new fad this year. 1t is promenading
mp AMI down Chapel street and about
the different New Haven thoroughfares
without hats or head covering Of any
kind 1t is the upper class men and So
oiety men chiefly who are making them
serves thus conspicuous.
Ii is common occurrence ON a pleas
ant morning to meet five or six men
walking together through the shop
ping district of the town. TO all appear
anccs perfectly unconscious that they
are attracting attention. Last year the
students, with the first blush of sum-
mer, conceived the idea of wearing
tremendous farmcriike straw hats. 1t
became such a fad that the shopkeep-
ers had special supply sent to them
from the manufacturers. They were
hats of the kind usually kept 10y the
country grocer. and until the students
took them up were never found i'm the
swell shops.
Another recently adopted fad of this
season among the students is that of
taking off their shoes and stockings
after "A rain storm. and. with their
trousers turned up above the enkles,
wading about in the grass back Of the
churches on the preen in the center OF

great misfortune which the party
has experienced is due solely to
the determination to run the

which has absolutely nothing to do

coinage men have openly and boldly an

this has brought about a deadlock. If
the same policy is pursued elsewhere,
it will result in something still more
disastrous to the interests of the party
at large.
