The PALACES of the Sultan.

The sultan has no confidence in any
Of his palaces except that of Yildiz,
which he thinks he has so fortified that
revolution cannot endanger him. He
was frightened almost to death when
the Gar Alexander III of Russia was
assassinated some years ago, and his
life has been one Of continuous unrest.
He has, all told, from 80 to 40 palaces,
a number Of which are on the banks of
the Bosporus.
YiIdiz is situated on hill, and it's
grounds contain acres of ravines, of
forests and lakes, Of parks and gardens.
Not far from it is the great palace Of
Dolma Bagtche, where Abdul Aziz the
brother Of this sultan, committed suicide
in order that another brother named
Murad might be raised to the throne.
Murad was pulled down by other con-
spirators, who declared Ahat he was
crazy, and it is said that he is pining in
the dungeons of one of the palaces aleng
the Bosporus.
Abdul Aziz furnished this donna
Bagtche palace He spent eco, coo
year On his harem, and within 10
months expended e12O, 600 on pictures
alone. The rooms-and there are scores
of them-are walled with satin, while
the hall is ornamented with crystal
posts as large round as the body Of q
man and more than six feet tall. Tho
palace has luxurious couches and mag
nifcent furniture, bit Abdul Hamid
has feared it because it was too near the
water, and he has only used it for pub
lie receptions. 1t is said that Abdul
Aziz warned him to keep out of it if he
should ever become sultan, and the re
suit is that he has confined himself to
the palace Of Yildiz.-Constantino

TERRITORY OF UNITED STATES
IN l776.

An examination of the map of the
United States in the year 1875 shows
the boundaries of tracts of territory
as follows.
At the northwest, but south of the
river st. Lawrence, Massachusetts
begins with the former Sagadadoc
Territory and Province of Maine,
continues over its present area to
New York, while westward of Penn
sylvania, broadening from the lati-
tude of it's present southern boundary
to that of Lake Winnipiseogee, in
New Hampshire, it reaches a western
limit on the Massachusetts, river.
New York has it's present area and
north of Massachusetts has bound
airy on New Hampshire which extends
between New York and the north
western spur of Massachusetts.
Rhode Island appears as on the
maps Of to-day.
Connecticut has it's present area,
while beyond Pennsylvania it extends
to the Mississippi river.
Pennsylvania has no corner, as now,
between New York and Lake Erie.
New Jersey, Delaware and Mary
land present forms familiar to mod
ern maps.
Virginia reaches to the Mississippi
river, and northward to the western
territory of Connecticut.
North Carolina and Georgia in full
width, and South Carolina in a narrow
belt, enfold the land to the common
Western river.
On the south of Georgia peninsular
East Florida tends westward to the
river ppalachicola, and West Flor
ida asserts a disputed northern limit
at the parallel of the mouth of the
Yazoo river in the west land of Geor-
gia.
Quebec, reaching southwark over
the southern trapping grounds of the
Hudson's Bay Company and over the
western lands of Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut and Virginia, claims to cover
the whole territory between the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers and the great
lakes.
Between the Mississippi river and
the Stony Mountains lies Louisiana, a
Spanish dependency.
Beyond, to the Pacific, stretches the
vast expanse of the older Spanish
America.
At the extreme northwest there
points towards the opposing CONT
nent a peninsula whose forbidding
coast has been hitherto but few times
visited by European navigators.

The Austrian Premier.

Casimir Felix Badeni, the present
premier CT Austria, is the son of a cook
His father, who was the chef Of one Of
the last kings Of Poland, was created a
count. Then his aunt, the famous Ger
man actress, Anna Wierer, left him the
half Of her large fortune. In 1871 he
became district chief of Zolkiew, and
two years later entered the ministry of
the interior. For a time he was attached
TO the administration of the Statthalter
in Galicia, but he retired from his Office
to care for a large estate that had been
intrusted to his management upon the
death Of his father. In 1888 he was
made governor of Galicia, an Office he
held until ne was recently appointed
prime minister Of Austria by the En-
peror Franz Joseph. He is said to be
worth about $500, 600, but his younger
brother, who has succeeded him as gov
ernor of Galicia, has been far more con-
sentative in his expenditure and is
credited with being the possessor of a
much larger fortune.

Russia,s Plague of Rodents.

Russia has suffered from a genuine
plague Of rats and mice, and the story
is attractively told by United States
Consul Heenan at Odessa, in report to
the state department. The vermin first
appeared in southern Russia in the au-
tumn Of 1898, and they increased in
number with marvellous rapidity, ow-
ing to the heavy grain harvests leaving
much unthrashed grain, and in the mild
weather. In addition to the common
house and field mouse, another and new
variety appeared, having a long. sharp
nose These mice overran every place,
and they moved III vast numbers like
armies, and in instances did not hest
tate to attack men and animals. While
the rats were not SO numerous as the
mice, they were more destructive, eat
ing everything, gnawing away wood
work, and even running entire build
lngs. After exhausting all other means,
the plague was finally terminated IN
1894 by resort to bacteriology. when the
vermln were destroyed by the inocula-
ton OF few rodents with contagious
disease germs. Washington Post.

A Colonial Lady,s Wardrobe,

Mistress Jane, widow Of Cuthbert
Fenwick of Fenwick Manor, legislator,
councillor, commissioner, died in 1860,
leaving a Will through which we catch
glimpses of the wardrobe and toilet of
a colonial lady of the period. To her
stepdaughter Teresa she leaves the little
bed, the mohair rug and the yellow
curtains. besides her taffeta suit and her
serge coat, all her fine linen, her hoods
and scarfs, Except the great one, and
her three petticoats-the tufted holland
one, the new serge and the spangled
one. To her own three boys she gives
that "great scarf and all her jewels,
plate and rings, except her wedding ring,
which goes to Teresa, and to each a bed
and pair of cotton sheets; to her step
sons Cuthbert and Ignatius, an ell of
taffeta; to her negro maid Dorothy, her
red cotton coat, and to Esther, the new
maid, all the linen Of the coarser sort !;

SILENCED BY A JOKE.
Why Congressman Grain Never Delivered
Another Speech In the House.

Another Speech In the House.
The death of Congressman William Fl.
Grain of Texas removed from political
life one of the brightest minds in the
south
Mr. Grain used to be one of the lead
ers Of the house. He never spoke with
out the greatest attention, for he always
spoke well. For five yesrs past, how
ever, Mr.. Grain has practically taken
no part in the proceedings Of the house.
His usefulness was destroyed by a joke
"a Joke from which he never recovered.
Mr. Grain was first elected to the
Forty ninth congress. He was hand
some in appearance, we'll posted on all
subjects, an orator, and man of great
personal magnetism. These qualities
Immediately brought him to the front
His first speech in congress made him a
name. The newspaper correspondents
took great Fancy to him, and often
wrote flattering articles about him.
It was during the Fifty-frst congress
that he was sitting in the Press club
one afternoon discussing politics with
a party of newspaper men. To one Of
them he remarked upon the fact that
when some men spoke all the CORE
spondents left the gallery and retired
to the lobby, while when others adj
dressed the house they crowded into tho
house to hear. He added that he noted
they always came III to hear him, and
he expected all OF, them to be present
On the next day, when he expected to
make the speech of his life on the Nc
Kipley tariff bill.
The next morning the press gallery
was crowded to hear the debate. There
were several speakers to precede Mr.
Grain During their speeches the gal
lery remained full, but the moment Mr.
Grain took the floor every correspondent
in the gallery arose and filed out into
the lobby. 1t was arranged on the part
of the correspondents as little joke Oh
the Texan.
The concerted action of the CORE
spondents naturally had its effect upon
sIr. Grain. It annoyed him SO that he
cut his speech short and quickly resumed
his seat. The moment he did all the
correspondents filed back into the gal
lery and listened to the other speeches.
Though given to joking himself, Mr..
Grain could never realize the joke Of it.
From that day to the day of his death
he never delivered another set speech in
the house. and rarely ever said anything
on the floor. It was shock from which
he never recovered. Atlanta Canstitu-
ton.

WILLIAM II AND NINE. PARLAGHl
Something About the Woman Artist and
the Emperor's Fondness For Her.


the Emperor's Fondness For Her.
Nine. Wilma Parlaghi, who was re-
ferred to in one of the Paris newspapers
as a friend of M. Rosenthal JACQUES
ST. Cere), The Figaro editor recently
arrested in the Lebaudy case in Paris,
is portrait painter in Berlin. She is a
Hungarian by birth, small. well formed,
still young and very good looking.
Although Nine. Parlaghi is not
fayorite with her artistic colleagues III
Berlin. she has painted the portraits Ct
famous persons, such as Moltke. Louis
Kossuth, Windthorst, the former leader
of the center Of the reichstag, and En-
peror William II. The emperor ex.
pressed himself as satisfied with the
picture.
Nine. Parlaghi is in the habit of
complaining Of the jealousy of her col
leagues in art. To this jealousy, she
said, was due the refusal to admit the
portrait of Moltke to an art exhibition
in Berlin, although Moltke is alleged to
have declared the portrait to be the
best picture of him ever done. She com
planned to Emperor William IL, who
was gallant enough to buy the picture.
He thus put himself in conflict with
the jury of artists and provoked endless
discussion in the German press. By his
order the portrait was placed in the
grand hall Of the exhibition. William
II openly censured the decision of the
jury in language rather disrespectful to
the artists, and added that il the grand
hall of honor, but for the portrait Of
Moltke, there would not be a single
work Of real art. The journals Of Berlin
made fun Of this opinion guardedly,
both in prose and III poetry.
Nine. Parlaghi became celebrated
after receiving these evidences of i'm
perial favor. A merchant III Cologne
asked her for portrait of Bismarck,
who, he said, was his personal friend.
She wrote letter to the ex-chancellor,
announcing her arrival i'll Friedrichs~
rub, but the letter was not opened, and
she and her husband returned to the
railroad station to take the train for
Hamburg. But Bismarck, who was out
riding met the couple and invited them
to remain. He went to the kitchen and
gave orders to increase the dinner bill,
as the princess was at Hamburg.
Nine. Parlaghi gained her point and
a few days afterward she began the por-
trait, for which she needed only two sit
tings. After the first sitting, on Jan. 1,
1898, Bismarck invited her to dinner.
A few days later, while the prince was
posing for the second time, he spoke
thus of the Moltke incident:
"When a man raises himself above
tho level of average intelligence. he ex-
cites envy, but when woman has to
struggle with men, they treat her rough
ly.'
Nine. Parlaghi gave drawing lessons
to tho Empress Of Russia when the en-
press was only Princess Alix of Hesse.
At present she is making full length
portrait Of TIE king OF Wurttemberg.

Lincoln In the Five Points.

Not long before Lincoln was first
nominated for the presidency he went to
New y ork to make political speech at
the Cooper Union. While there, accord
ing to writer in the Philadelphia
Press, he wandered about the citya good
deal aad once went to the Five Points,
then tho most notorious of New York
slums.
There he was attracted by the sound
of music, and perceiving upon @ door an
invitation to strangSrs to enter he went
in and found himself in the Five Points
mission.
His manner betrayed SO much interest
in the children, especially in their sing
ing, that the superintendent, though he
did not know him, invited him to speak.
Mr.. Lincoln accepted the invitation,
and, as the superintendent used to say,
talked to the children just as a loving
and wise father might have talked to
his own sons and daughters, without a
trace of pedantry or cant. After the ex-
ercises the superintendent asked the
stranger for his name.
My name is Lincoln, - was the an
sWer. 81 live in Illinois. -
And then the superintendent knew
that the speaker must be the man whose
address at the Cooper Union had been
SO much talked about the last few days.

DIAMONDS ARE DIAMONDS.
Cool Reply of Woman Who Tried TO
SPINDLE Through Painted Gems

SwindIe Through Painted Gems.
A woman who says she is Mrs. E. A.
Roberts and that she owns $40, 900 worth
of real estate in Syracuse, has been un-
der arrest here for painting diamonds
and endeavoring to negotiate a large
loan on the strength of the deception.
She is good looking, tall and slender,
and wears tailor made gowns and seal
| skin cloak.
She advertised in local paper that a
we'll to do widow in need of ready mon
ey was willing to pay bonus of 500 for
a 80 day loan of $500 and guarantee
good security. The manager Of local
loan company answered the advertise
ment, and Mrs Roberts called upon
him
ST have come to you, !" she said, ''to
consummate that $500 loan. I am q
widow and have $50, 900 worth of real
estate in Syracuse, n. Y, but am in
need of $500 ready money, and will
give you my note for 80 days.
"And how about the security you have
to offer?" suggested Mr.. Evans.
s'Certainly,'' answered the widow.
'sIn order to avoid delay, brought the
security for the loan with me. See, these
are worth twice the amount want. -
She drew from her purse two big
white diamonds. One was set in q stud
and the other in a pin. The manager
tested the stones and failed to find even
the suggestion of flaw. He told the
woman to call on Monday, and she could
have the money. Before going, Mrs.
Roberts said:
n 1,<1c hi <ava
velope and indorse it with your name.
Now they will not be removed from that
envelope until you receive them. L will
call at 8 o'clock Monday morning.
The manager got his first intimation
that something was wrong when he
started to locate the rich widow in need
of ready money. She had told him she
was living at 1927 S street, northwest.
He found that there was no such num-
her, At this stage Of his investigation
he decided to ask ghe aid of the police.
Central Office Detectives Horne and
Weldon were assigned to the case. They
discovered that Mrs. Roberts was living
under cover. Acting under the instruc-
tion of the detectives the manager per-
fected his arrangements for the recep-
tion Of Mrs. Roberts. She called at IL
O'Clock.
''These are the diamonds, :" she said,
handing the manager the sealed en-
velope.
"Just sign this so days note and
these receipts, :" he said. Il will be back
in moment with the money.
He took the diamonds into a rear
room and plunged the gems into an acid
bath. When he came out of the back
room, he was very nervous. but he man
aged to disguise his true feelings until
the detectives had entered in response
to his signal
whats the matter?" queried Mrs.
Roberts. "Has anything happened to my
diamonds?''
Yes he said; 'ethey have turned
from white to yellow. They are painted
stones. y
Mrs. Roberts took her arrest quietly.
"You have no case against me, )" she
said. lyon will find that they are real
diamonds, and it is no crime to raise as
much money as you can on real dia-
monds.
Sure enough, an expert declared the
diamonds to be genuine, although worth
but comparatively little, and Mrs. Rob
erts was released. Washington Letter

An Editor,s view Of an owners Rights.


I suppose that The Pail Mall Gazette
costs its owner, Mr.. Astor, a good deal
of money, and, if it pleases him to pay
for an organ, 1t seems only reasonable
that he should insist upon its advocating
his views rather than those of Mr.. Gust,
or Mr.. Any One Else These views are,
in the case of Mr.. Astor, peculiar, if, as
Mr.. Gust says, he was ordered to insist
that the Radicals lost the last general
election owing to Sir William Har-
courts budget. But what of that? I
have no doubt that they are sincerely
entertained by Mr. Astor, who is a very
rich man, and who objects to taxation
being thrown on rich men. IF an eel
had newspaper, its columns would
very probably be largely devoted to the
denunciation Of the habit Of skinning
eels London Truth.
