STATE ARCHITECT.
7. e. Lescher again Elected by the
Executive Council.

The executive council at a meeting
Saturday night elected a state architect.
Mr. w. w. Rose of Wyandotte county
was supported by the governor and at
tOrney general but on the second ballot
they with Mr.. Bush voted with Super
intendent Stryker and elected T. H.
Lescher of this city. NJ. Stryker alone
voted for Mr.. Lescher on the first bal
lot The salary is 81, 500.
Some objection was urged against
Mr.. Lescher because he was elected
state architect by the Republican board
of public works two years ago. When
it became known that Mr.. Lescher was
elected because he was regarded as the
most competent man for the place and
that the Republican executive council
refused to approve his bond because he
is a Populist the present executive
council Immediately concluded that Mr..
Lescher was the man.
The state board of charities wanted
H NJ. Hadley OF Topeka elected.
Mr. Lesher's first work will probably
be to superintend the putting down of
diagonal walks in the state house
grounds.
John YounIers for whom Secretary
Bush voted for architect was elected as
a draughtsman. J. 3. Burgess also of
Topeka, was elected to a similar posi-
ton

REV. C.O.BROWN FORGIVING
Late San Francisco Pastor Writes
Kindly to His Old Parishioners.

Chicago, June 28.-Rev. Charles o.
Brown, the new pastor of Green Street
Congregational church, has written
long letter to his old friends in San
Francisco giving a detailed account of
his acceptance as a member of the Chi
cagO association of Congregational min
listers. There is a tone of triumph In
the letter as he TecOunts the circum-
stances of his vindication against the
action of the Bay conference of Cali
fornia in suspending him from the min
istry. The letter concludes with these
words:
I'VE can afford to be charitable to
those who will shed many tears over
their failure to ruin their fellow man
and brother minister. They pushed me
out of the Bay conference and kept on
pushing until they have pushed me into
the largest local association of Congre-
gational churches in America or the
world Let US love each other as
friends and pray for our enemies"

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY.

Charm of Manner.

Ex-Minister Terrell Pays Tribute to His
Charm of Manner.
Hon. a. w. Terrell, formerly United
tributes IAN Interview With the Sui.
tan" to The Century. Mr.. Terrell says:
The sultan is over so years old, of
medium height, with clear olive COM
plexion, dark hair, high forehead and
large dark brown eyes. The habitual
expression of his face is of extreme
sadness. Though the pashas who attend
his palace when ministers or embassa-
doris are entertained are decorated with
regal splendor, he always appears in
plain garb, wearing n red fez, a frock
coat and trousers Of dark blue stuff and
patent leather shoes. A broad service
sword with steel scabbard, which he
holds sheathed i'll his hand, completes
the costume. Sometimes a single decora-
ton is worn on his breast. When he is
seen thus plainly attired in the throne
Don of his palace, OH the first day Of
the feast of Bairam, seated on an otto
man covered with cloth of gold, to re-
ceive the congratulations of his civil
and military chiefs, who are all radiant
in uniforms and decorations, the con-
trast is very striking. No Christians
but those of the diplomatic corps ever
witness this impressive ceremony, which
is conducted with the order that distin-
guishes q military review, but with an
oriental servility that an American finds
it difficult to understand. On such occa-
sions Osman Pasha stands at the sui.
tan's left, holding a cloth of gold scarf.
which all reverently kiss after salutine
their ruler.
No sovereign i'll Europe is more court
ly or refined in entertaining his guests.
and few can be more agreeable in con-
%versation. In his personal intercourse
with foreign representatives he is alike
free from that stilted dignity which re-
pels confidence and from that absence of
real dignity which invites familiarity.
When l first dined at the palace. the
sultan sat at the head of the table. with
Mrs. Terrell at his right and myself Il.
his left. Osman Pasha, lsmael Pasha.
the former khedive of Egypt. the grand
vizier and other ministers of state were
the other guests.
Nothing could excel the excellence Of
the cuisine of which he partook with
his guests. the table service and decora.
tions, the magniticence of the dining
room or the excellence of his wines,
which always remain untasted except
by Christian guests. Each pasha wore
the insignia of his rank, blazing with
stars and decorations. while the plain
costume of the sultan was alone in har-
mony with my OWL. No armed men
stood guard at the palace doors. and ex-

4 SCRENY LOnSE

At the election held last November,
Virginia cast l3j, COG votes for Mckinley
for President. a few days ago the Re
publican State committee held II meeting
and decided not to call convention to
nominate Il candidate for governor 1t
was n good deal of responsibility for "a
State committee to take. 1t should at
least have called Il convention and have
permitted the Republican people of the
State To say whether or not they would
name il State ticket to he voted for at the
November election.
Such an organization as that should
exercise very little influence with the ad-
ADMINISTRATION in regard to Virginia. 1t
lacks backbone. Without hackb bone moth
ing can be won. The Republicans of
Virginia should keep up their organiza-
ton. Without it the party will deterio-
rate. An army that .disbands to keep
from fighting is likely to be charged with
cowardice. 1t seems very much like Il
mistake for the Virginia Republicans to
surrender before the battle has opened.
Everybody understands that the Re
publican party in Virginia labors under
grave difficulties. But this is not the
time to throw down arms and run away
The Republicans Of Virginia should keep
up their organization, they should keep
in line, they should show that they are
in earnest, that they are willing to stand
mp for Republican principles. They
might not win this year, hut a bold fight
would strengthen the party and perhaps
weaken the enemy. Virginia Republi
cans may say it is not orr business. We
