HAREM ON EXHIBITION.

genuine Oriental harem is now being ex-
hibited throughout Europe. The manager Of
the Berlin Panepticum has persuaded a pasha
living in the holy city Of Kayroman to exhibit
his harem to the unfaithful This is the first
time Mohammedan has ever dared to dis
regard the strict laws of his creed in such a
way. The story of how it. all came about is
quite curious The pasha, the proprietor of
the harem, became bankrupto and worried
much about his inability to keep up in due
style his very numerous family. The man
ager, who happened to be lin Egypt to engage
attractions for the sidesIfows of the coming
exposition in Berlin, heard of the pasha's diff1-
eulties, and prevailed upon him to accept
a magnificent sum for a six months contract
to exhibit himself and family in Europe. The
pasha, who, to choose betNeen a certain for
tune among the unbelievess or absolute ruin
staring him in the face at home. was per-
suaded to accept the managers offer, and thus
his household is now to be seen for so pfen-
nigs Q2 cents) head at Berlin.
Sure enough the pashaS showed excellent
taste in the selection OF hisp wives, all of
whom are good looking, and are considered
great beauties from an Oriental Standpoint.
There are a number Of handsome children
from six to sixteen years OF age and some
twenty female slaves attend to all the du-
ties OF the household in full view of the
onlookers. The most interesting part OF the
show is not the persons themselves but the
life they lead In the haren, about which
much has been written, but very little is
known. Several of the pashas wives have
extraordinary accomplishments in the way
OF singing, playing musical instruments and
dancing. They are very clever hand workers
and while away much Of their time with EN-.
There are. all tsld, forty seven people in
the household.

Dor were candidates on the Democratic
and Republican tickets, and were in
dorsed by the trades and labor assem-

election of both candidates. According
to the Patterson Labor Standard, every
union man in Schenectady pulled off
his coat and worked hard and late for
the election of the representatives of
labor's interests. Socialists, Populists,
Prohibitionists, Democratic and Re-

forces, and the fight they made in
favor of the two candidates proved ir-
resistible.

of roads.
Gray Gables is now in fine condition,
and all the land in the vicinity has
risen in value since the Clevelands went
there to live. The furniture in the house
is estimated to be worth $5, 900, and
the yachts and boats $3, 900, while tho
horses, carriages and live stock are put
down at SIS, 900.
Woodley, the winter Home Of the
Olevelands, is easily worth $3.50, 000
It Is q part Of the district where the
value Of property has been rising rap
idly.
Red Top, which is not far away, was
purchased by Mr.. Cleveland some years
ago and sold at large profit, and
Woodley has been even a better invest
ment, for Mr.. Cleveland got it at bar
gain and could sell small part of the
land now for more than the whole place
stands him in. The furniture at Wood
ley is worth at least $4,000 and cost q
good deal more than that. The horses
and carriages are transferred from Gray
Gables to Washington when the Cleve-
lands return to the White House for the
winter.
Gray Gables and Woodley, with all
they contain. represent $428, 900 of &C.
tual value, possessed by the man who
went into Office 10 years ago with al
most nothing. 1t has been shown how
much of this has been accumulated.
Outside of savings from salary and
profits from real estate deals, however,

has made large sums of money by fol-
lowing the advice of friends upon whose
judgment he could rely in stock trans

Cleveland's holdings in this kind OF
property, but Wall street is Of the opin.
ion that they are large, ranging at pres
ent from $500, 900 to $1,500,000 A
conservative ccsimate puts his holdings
of stocks and bonds at 5000, 600. This,
with his real estate, furniture, horses,
carriages, etc., makes Mr.. Cleveland

Even after he loses his salary Of $780,

in receipt of as much, il not more, from
his earnings and the income of his in

the marine commerce of the world.
At present the railway is practically

ground of the brocade. In these materials
are toilets of the Louis XIII and Louis
